Encouraging Signs.

In an editorial in Sa urday weeks
Democrat, we are told that there are
encouraging signs all over the country
that the democratic party is rising up to
save the nation. 1t is always pleasant
to hear good news, and VIC naturally
inquire, who are those democrats that
are going to save usl Does he mean
the bone and sincw of the North, and
West, who are imperllling their lives in
defence of the Union, under the demo-
cratic lead of Dix, Butler, Mcclellan
and other worthless of the democratic
party, encouraged and cheercd by such
democratic leaders as Holt, johnson,
Cass, Dickinson and host of others .
If this is the great demonstration to
which the editorial alludes, it is cheering
indeed but the article seems to have
q stong leaning towards different class
of democrats.
1t says, " that when the democratic
party went down, the country went down
with it," The country did not 60 down
quite as low as the party, but we must
acknowledge that the party made bold
effort 10 pull the country down with it,
In its last struggle it showed its patriot
ism, by its attempt to destroy the Gov
ernment. If these are the men that are
to rise up again to save the countryj from
such salvation, good Lord deliver
u.s.
What is that rising young man."
Breckenridge now doing to save the natona
lie is in arms to separate the North
from the South, so much deprecated by
the Father of his country. Are his
admirers, and those who sympathizc with
him in treason, to save his country -
Where are the great leaders, Wise,
Cobb, Floyd, Davis and others? In
open rebellion and unmitigated treason
against the Union are they and their
co-workers to save the country Giving
them aid and comfort in their hcllish
work, that h; led to such immense des-
truction of property, and ch'usion of
blood, and such characters as Vallundig-
ham, Pearcc, Bayard, and all others of
that stamp, who are content to look
coldly on, without lifting hand to

tural periodicals in the country, sends its

lima. Thst assertion of the Canal Com.
panies in their Remonstrance is equal to
any secession canard ever got off in Dixie.
This protesting that dead carcass shall
be allowed to cumbcr tile thoroug hfares OF
the living, we hope our present Legislature
will have the good sense to refuse.
And another equally potent reason given
III this temonstrance against booming the
river among the numerous isles that dot it
from Conowingo to Rock Run, is that impe-
dimcnts in the stream would be damaging to
the Tide Water Canal in times of high water
The company thus speak of the canal -
. The Tide Water Canal in that part of it
which will be adjacent to the structures in
question, was unavoidably made at so low a
level, and Of such light and loose material
that it is exposed to more than ordinary
inundation.' AS it is not the intention of
the parties to place booms so near tide
water rs to interfere with this section of the
canal made at so low a level, and of such
light and loose materials" this psrt Of the
Protest applies more properly to Watson's
island, and the corporations would have
done well to have embodied in their Protest
a petition to have it removed, in order that
expense for prospective repairs mi ght be
saved to the company, and the State be
made more secure in the payment of her
interest.
The " Protest and Rcmonstrancc con-
cludes thus -. The question then is re
specially submitted to the LEGISLATURE,
whether at the same time. at which it
becomes necessary to increase taxation, it
is wise to promote measure which must
infict deep injury upon the revenue of the
State
We, however, respectfully submit that
such is not the question but whether the
Legislature, in attempting to nurse into life
a bankrupt corporation, shall refuse to
legislatc for the interest of her citizens and
the future wealth Of the State. by simply
granting them permission to open up new
channels for trade, inviting industry and
capital within her borders.

A late letter from Roanoke Island gives the
following particulars. 1t will be seen that
the Rebels left an abundance Of ammunition
behind them.
The official list OF the prisoners now toots
up as follows:

Tota! prisoners taken 1921
The arms, on taking an inventory, counted
up 500. They are assorted. and to a great
extent, of an inferior kind-thoush it must be
confessed they were pretty effectively used.
The ammunition which the Rebels had
accumulated on the island was much larger
than was at first supposed. In the depot near
Camp Raleigh seren tons Of fired ammunition
were iiscorerei concealed under ground and
there were immense quantities also found in
the magazines at Forts Barlow, Blanchard
and Wirr's Point Battery. making about serenity

the Rebels.

many Of the first and most prominent young

blow to the eiiie of Richmond, and will be
