POLITICAL SPEAKING

We are told that Hon 2. B. Simpson
and Joseph II. Clary Esqs, made political
speeches in DodgeviiIe few evenings ago
Our in icrmant says they endorsed the Ry-
an Address in full; and every one knows
who has read that Address, that tits much
moro favorable for a war upon the Admin
!stration than against the rebels. Mr.
simpson tried to make the people believe
that Col Cobb made great deal better
ialitary officer than he would, and that
by eiecting himself 70 Congress, two good
men would be brought into the service Of
the people. Now on the first point we are
not disposed to dispute the gentleman, but
If any action Of Congress is necessary to
support ! c Government in putting an end
TO the rebellion, we should have serious
doubts on the last Col Cobb will make
equally as good Il memoer Of Congress as
be does military officer, and as be does not
have to take his seat in Congress, if cleo
ted, until year from next December, he
Will have served nearly his three years in
the Army before that tine, and in our
opinion the people ofthe District will pre-
fer his services to those Of 1ir Simpson
Gr. Ciary's remarks, we are told, were
principally confined to euloeizing the Dem
ocratic party, and recommending himself
as the best man in the county for Prose

Light on the Early History OF the Re
-,elIiou

The Washington National L,telHJencer
publishes long paper prepared by Lieut.
Gen. Winfield Scott, and dated March 80,
1861, describing the course that he pur-
sued IN the first and the earliest stages of
the rebellion, and the difficulties he had to
contend with in the administration Of Mr..
buchanan. The HteIigeacer in common
ting upon it, says:
THE paper now submitted to the public
by General Scott throws q food of light
on the History OF the rebellion in its in
ciplent stages, and viii inspire every read
er with deep interest Ii establishes in
the first place, the patriotic anxiety Of the
wise and watchful Generalin-Chief to pre-
pare Tor the coming storm, and in his ear
nest and repeated efforts to preyail on the
government to garrison and secure the
southern forts against every possible at
tack; and it discloses, in the second place,
the cause of this failure, which it is now
evident, resulted from the INDIGESTION OF
the Executive, misled doubtless by treach-
ry in The Secretary>of War, If not in 9th
er members of the Cabinet, in whom the
head OF the Government reposed a mispla-
ced and abused confidence. This paper,
we may add, must have the effect, with ev-
cry candid III nd, Of indicating the char
acter OF the illustrious veteran General
himself from imputations with which he
has been recently assaulted by presses whose
standard ofmerit is regulated only by par
ty tests.

%Col. Forney, writing from Wash
ington to his paper, gives very discrim-
mating notice of Zollicoffer. IS Felix X.
Zollicoffer, who fell at Somerset, on Sun
day last" he says, "was one OF the most
reckless and gifted of all the rebel chiefs.
He was cruel, remorseless, and cold. l
knew him we'll as Representative in
Congress from the. Nashville CTenn.)
district. He was more of controversial
list than an orator. Tenacious in debate,
logical in argument, and perfectly fearless,
he was formidable adversary at all
times. A highly educated man, he be-
came practical printer after he gradual
ed at college, and was directly or indi-
rectly connected with Wing newspapers,
even while holding official positions, for
twenty years. From being Wing he
advanced into Know-Nothingism and
from being vehement Unionist, of the
Henry Clay John Bell school, he broke
out into a worshiper Of the Calhoun doc
trine of secession, giving up his life sac
rifice to that shameless heresy. Is it not
strange that so many of the Southern
Americans should have become so active
in the rebellion? John Bell himself, FOL
licofer, Percy Walker Of Alabama, Jere
Clemens of the same State, Humphrey
Marshall, of Kentucky, Albert Pike of
Arkansas, have been among the most un-
forgiying of these leaders. The secret is
undoubtedly to be found in their hatred
Of the adopted citizens, who are distrusted
in the South, and recognized in the North
for their loyalty and courage on the side
of the Union. Zollicoffer was not quite
fifty when he fell. He resembled John
Hickman in appearance, though little
taller, and was greatly confided in by his
followers. He has shown great tact and
energy since the breaking out of the re-
bellion; and was, beyond boubt, the best
General that Tennessee has furnished to
the traitor forces.

mud under foot. "A bad day, do you call

(, T We confess that we were some
what surprised at the appearance of an
article signed "Qaill," in the Burlington
Daily Times of the Both ult., in relation
to the Lieutenant Colonel of the Seventh
Regiment. We certainly think we know
that the insinuations therein are both I'M
Just and untrue, besides being entirely
uncalled for. We at first thought we
would let it pass without note or comment,
but when we consider that such remarks
are calculated to injure meritorious Of
fieer, and weaken his influence With those
under his command, the most of whom We
suppose are unacquainted with him, and
impede the enlistment of men to fill the
Regiment, we think it best to say that
when the facts are known the article will
iniure no one bu. the writer. We also
think the remarks about Gov. Holbrook
are eqally unjust and improper; and we
really think that the man who weakens
the confidence of our men in their officers,
does precisely what the rebels desire to
have done, and as essentially aids their
cause as he who furnishes them with
men, money and provisions. .w
