We fud in the Constitutional Union, pro-
slavery bunker sheet published In Philadelphia,
an amusing letter to Democratic committee
,omew here In Pennsylvaua, FROM Mr.. Charles
lngersoll, the man who came very near btiug
made martyr OF. and the son Of the man who
said, that had he lived in the Revolution, he
would have bscn tory"
We have said that the letter is amusing |,
is, indeed, reireshingly 50.
We give u single extract all We can hnd
room for. This philosopher and constilu-
tional tD lawyer gives the Republicans some
advice, as follows:
"They eau be useful II they will. Should
The Democratic party be toand next month 10
large majority, let the Republicans persuade
unofficial counsellors, clear bis skirs Of those
who pluck him by them, hilhsr 10 day and
thither tomorrow and then let him send, as
an hereditary sovereign would, for men who
represent the views and policy Of the majority
aud place himself In their hands, they to rule
| the country, he to draw bis salary and anuse
himself, but not with the rsiSs OF Govern
ment"
II will be seen that this advice depends upon
The contingency that the DemocyatIc party shall
be found in a large majority, But how about
the constliutionality Of this proceeding, Mr. 10
gersoll" The Constitution provides that the
President shall be the chief executive officer o
he Government, the commander-in chief Ol
the army aud navy. We always find, how
ever, that when the Democratic party 10 II
power, the Constitution does not stand in theh
way; they 60 over It, under it, through II. Of
trsmple on 1t, to reach their desired end Mr.
Iugersoll belongs to this class, the men who
supported that old imbec 70 and public func
tionary," Buchanan.
Mr.. lngersoll would have the President pur
sue the course Of "au hereditary sovereign
Here crops out the spirit Of the father, love o.
despotism, hereditary descent divine right Of
kings
This is modern Democracy, and MIR. Ingsr
soil is its champion, and the C,astitaiona
Uni its organ.
Modern Democracy rueaus, Let US govern
The country, for We are native here AMI to the

The people, however, believe that this Dem
ocIatic rule is a "cdstom more honored in thu
breach than IN the observance Mr.. Inger
soil will net see, therefore, that large Demo
cratic msjority for which he hopes.

From information received at this Depart

me in SO doing, consider It my duty to warn
oil persons contemplating the crossing Of the
Plains this fall 10 Utah or the Pacific cosst
that there is good reason to spprshond hostilt
ties on the part Of the Rannock and Bhoshope OF
Snake Indians, as we'll % the Indians upon Che
Plains and along the Platte river.
The Indians referred to have during the past
summer committed several robberiss and mur
ders. They are numerous, powerful, and war
like, and, should they generally assume . hos
Tile at tltude, are capable Of rendering the emf

Confidence in Generals.

An army will not fight as well under a
leader who has been defeated, ab under
one who has been successful, and an Amer
ican army IN particular, which is solargeiy
composed Of intelligent, thinking and re-
fective. men 1t discerns at once the
weaknesses Of generals, as We have seen
in the case Of Pope; it loses confidence;
and though every individual man may be
as brave as Julius Caesar and as patriotic
as Washington, the body as whole can
not proceed with spirit, dash and hope.
1t is not assured that it is going to be led
to victory; it halts, it hesitates, and final
ly it breaks away. Confidence is two
thirds of any battle; and when confidence
is lost. you may, as the Russians are some
times said to do, whip your troops up to
the FIRE, but their lighting will be slow,
indicisiye and feeble. Give them, on the
other hand, leader who to acknowledged
skill and prudence adds chivalric audacity
and dash, and they will follow him to the
gates of death. EceaiagA Post

marks the New York World, and better

Pope as . General IN whom the army had
lost confidence, and it might with quite as
much propriety have named Mcdowell.
The higher the class Of men composing
an army the quicker it decides upon the
capacity of its generals. Under neither
Mcdowell, who lost its confidence at the
first Bull Run battle, nor under Pope,
who disclosed his incompetency at Cedar
Mountain and in his first bulletin, could
they fight with half their wonted vigor,
dash, or enthusiasm. The striking letter
from correspondent Of the Tribune,
which We print in another column, is
