- go &c North.

The Richmond Whig, in calling upon
Davis to proceed TO reialiatOry measures
against the North, says:
GThe President should issue prOclsma-
ton, demanding that ineolRs Emanelpa
ton proclamation be rescinded, Rnd the
whole war system Of the North brought |
within the rules Of civilized warfare, and |
declaring thai unless this be done we snail |
send forces into the North to burn, raw
age, desolate, and destroy everything IN |
their path. Nor ought this to be an empty !
threat. The recent exploit Of General Stu
art has shown that the Northern territory
is open to us. We can send cavalry expe-
ditions into Pennsylvania and Ohio with
orders to move rapidly from place toplacei
and te do nothing but burn and destroy.
The dense population and concentrated
wealth Of those States are circumstances
which would greatly facilitate our opera
lions. In a country where a city lies at
the end Of every days journey, and town
| is passed every hour, an invading force
would find plenty Of occupation for its de-
structive power An unWarlike and un-
organized population would sson tire Of
raids like these, and clamor for peace"
There is in this something more than the
call for retaliation. The Wing also gives
utteranoe to that bitter hatred and jeal-
ousv which they Of the South feel at the
superior wealth and population of the
Northern States. It is a standing re-
buke to the Southern system of forced and
unpaid labor, that in Pennsylvania and
Ohio q city lies at the end of every day s
Journey, and a town is passed every hour )"

Rebel Hopes Of the Feaeo Party.

The rebel papers are beginning to take
courage from the apparent growth of
peace party in the North, being encouraged
thereto BY the results of the late elections
in Ohio and Indiana. The peace journals
have professed great indignation that the
Union press should charge them with be-
ing friends Of the South, and yet here we
have the proof of it from the southerners
themselves. The Richmond Examiner
says that so long as the whole North was
aetuated by the one desire to uphold the
Government all hopes for peace were
eroundless, but in the indications Of OppO-
sitiop 10 the Government it sees 81 the
most favorable feature now apparent Of the
situation And who can doubt that the
peace Democrats Of the North have been

Gus to their showing it at the ballot box
Incredible as /. may appear, there are yet
men who would see this country destroyed
for the sake Of the maintenance Of sys-
tenn that is totally at war with the spirit Of
progress that has made the Northern pOr-
ton Of our country what it is in intelli-
Fsnee, prosperity and population. In this
ruinOus policy, Southern rebels and North
ern peace Democrats strike hands in sym
psfhetic alliance.

A young woman, quite respectfully con-
nected. was detected in stealing from the
store Of Woodward, Finch s. Greene, in this
place, on Thursday last. A dress pattern
and a pair Of shoes were found in her pos
session. When charged with the crime,
she acknowledged her guilt, and then got
I'D quite a scene by going into hysteric
fits, during which she tore her hair,
clutched at her throat, and did various
other unseOmly acts. She was finally
ouieted, however, and permitted to
return to her friends. 1t is to be hoped
that the lesson will prove salutary one
to her, and constrain her hereafter TO be
an honest woman.-BelLepue Independent

Hon. George Bancroft on the War.

The historian, Bancroft, has always been
a Democrat, but his patriotic conduct at
this time puts to shame sll those who claim
to be Democrats while clamoring for
peace. Having been nominated for Con
gress in the Eighth New York District, he
writes a long and eloquent letter of de-
clinatiou, from which We quote these para
graphs:
"For one, will not give vote for any
man whose election would be an encour-
aoemeut to the rebellion to hold out. l,
for one. will not consent to send our sons
and brothers to the battle field and then
betray them at the polls.
awe send men from every household to
the war; they show on the battle field the
most heroic courage, and yet we are asked
TO vote that the war has no object that we
fight only to retreat with shame if we are
beaten. and TO submit with shame If we
are victorious,
nThe only possible chance for a speedy
end of this war is its instant and vigorous
prosecution. Hesitation brings chaos, and
prolonps the strife indefinitely. There
must be one soul in the President, the ar
nv; and the people, or the contest VIII
drag along under the distractions Of con-
aicting and uncertain opinions; and the
sbort-sighted desire to gain peace by sub
mission may change it into seven years
war, or q thirty years war, or war ioi
generations. Quick, united action car
alone bring it to an early end

The situation in kentucky.

A Louisville dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial says that some important
facts are known regarding Buells move
ments which are not allowed to be made
public. For long time it has not been
his movsmsnts which have been made pub
lie, but his lack of movements.
The correspondent of the Commercial also
SAWS that the rebels held council of war
at Camp Dick Robinson, previous to their
retreat. The general disposition was to
remain and fight. Bragg alone objected,
saying he would not fight Buell. in Ken
lucky. Buckner responded, "Then, l
suppose must again be exiled from Ken
tucky." Cheatham Polk, Hsrdee, Buck
ner, Smith, and others, were unanimously
for hght. Bragg assumed the RESPONSE
bility Of overruling their decision, and
ordered retreat.
A correspondent of the Gazette says
that the rebels had been pursued to within
forty miles Of Cumberland Gap on Sunday
and were retreating precipitately, leaving
their sick and worn out on the road. They
had stripped the mountaineers of every
eatable, wishing to keep as many as pos
sible of the 1900 cattle they had stolen
from the Blue Grass region for cOnsump-
ton after their arrival in Dixie. A few
Of these cattle have been re-captured by

SCOUTS LettcTS

The telegraph has already informed the
reading public that neither the author nor
the receiver of General scOtts letter to
Secretary Seward, furnished copy to
John Van Buren to read at the New York
p,-uoe-utie meeting. The Ne" York Eve
ming Post further says:
0Au additional fact has been commune
Gated to us, which gives rounded per-
fection to the scandalous act Of Mr.. Van
Buren. On the same day on the evening
on which he made his speech and read Gen
eral Scott's letter, he went into the New
York Club, at the hour at which, as it hap
pened. the General was eating there, alone
at a table. Mr. Van Buren sat himself
down at the same table, unlimited, and
there ate his dinner-but said never word
to the General, of the fact that he was 60
ing from that table to make partisan
speech; nor hazarded one word about the
letter of the General which he meant to
read. The members Of the Club, passing
in and out saw General Scott and Mr..
Van Buren seemingly dining together I;
the next day they read the latter's speech,
and naturally drew the inference which,
doubtless, Mr.. Van Buren intended should
be drawn when. he ostentstiously placed
! himself at the Generals table-that the re-
ference to and use of the Generals letter
was arranged between them"

No More Issue of Government NOtes---Uur


Especial Dispatch to the Evening Post.l
WAsH1xGToE, Oct. 20.
There is no foundation for the current
report that the Secretary Of the Treasury
will arply to the next Congress for anthor-
ity to issue more Treasury notes. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Chase will ask Congress
TO legislate so far as to curtail the issue
of bank bills, and thus restore the value Of
Government paper to the gold standard.
1t is the opinion of many hnanciers who
have been in Washington Of late, that If
ne more Government paper were to be is
sued, and if all the paper issues Of the
banks could be suspended, the Government
paper would instantly rise to the value OF
gold. The Government is convinced that
something must be done to lessen the evil
of the present disparity between specie
and paper money.
Ithas been proposed in certain quarters
that henceforth, instead Of issuing any
more paper currency, the Treasury De-
partment shall issue six months and one
wear six per cent certificates Of indebted
ness. The old demand notes are rapidly
coming in, as the importations for the last
two or three months have been very
heavy, and the duties have been mostly
paid in the old notes, instead Of coin.

the yield of the mine will probably reach
the enormous sum Of three hundred mil

dreds of mines in our vicinity equally as

tsrial of our armies as "Republicans and

The Plain Dealer says:
WThe Plain Dealer has and will continue

tains all its political animosity and love Of

make the least concession or yield any
thing"
A more gross misrepresentation OF the
Republican portion of the Union party was
never written. The Republicans have made
all concessions, have yielded eVeTy thing Of
their distinctive party platform. In return
they asked the Democrats to do the same.
The Plain Dealer prOfessed TO do it, and

tended to 6ght against.
