DEMOCRATIC VICToRIEs - The Demo-

now about their victories. The main
difference between the victories won by
them and their political opponents is,
that their opponents have gone South

and won. Another difference is, that
while Democratic victories have been

A SUBSTITUTE FOR WooL-In conse-
quence of the high price, for wool in the
South, the Confeds are driven to the ne
cessity of using cows hair mixed with
cotton, as substitute for wool to make
clothing for their negroes
How would it do to shear the wool off
the negroes themselves and use that as a
substitute for Sleeps wool2 Certainly
the darkies would have no objection to
wearing their own hair.

is nothing exciting or even interesting

and caution is following Bragg at a re-
spectful distance Gen. Schofeld is

Gen Carr is having indecisive picket

gallant Rosecrans, while the latter is
chatting like hound in the leash to get

lous Van Dorm.
During all this delay and inaction the
finest weather that ever visits the earth
is passing away to give place to rain and
mud, which may be expected to blockade

This very class of men who " con-
stantly assail the war tax with every mis-
representation and falsehood they can
invent" and who are Gas much traitor
in heart and intent as their brethren who
are openly in arms under the rebel flag"
is composed of the men over whose late
triumph the Louisville Journal has, SO
consistently, rejoiced as great con-
sentative triumph" They did use every
endeavor to excite fierce popular OPP
position to the payment of the war tai"
They tried, and to some extent, succeed
ed in rendering it obnoxious" and
fused every Misrepresentation and false
hood they could invent" to accomplish
their purpose.
They furthermore led uniformed
farmers to believe that United States

cent, and by these falsehoods, joined with
the insane cry of Abolitionist, as sug-
gested by Beauregard, against every
man who voted or gave countenance to
the Union ticket, or who was in favor Of
avigorous prosecution of the war, so de-
luded the minds of the people as to lead
them to vote for this very class which the
Journal says are for the most part as
much traitors in heart as their brethren
who are openly in arms under the rebel
flag"
Had it not been for this insane cry of
"abolitionist in which this class joined
their Southern brethren, the war would
have been ended six months ago, and
Kentucky would have been saved the
disgrace and desolation caused by the
invasion of the rebel army.

West as the Louisville Journal Itseems,
however, that the difatory Generals has
at last lost the confidence of thatipaper
We copy the following paragraphs from

IT'S strange what a profound silence is
observed in regard to the actual move
ments of Buell. and Bragg. All the
many cheering reports have proved to he
mere inventions. 1t is obvious that the
distance of seventeen miles, that inter
posed between the belligerents about the
time Of their passing Crab Orchard, was
never reduced avVery likely it was in
creased daily and hourly. And yet we
are informed that the brave and loyal
mountaineers felled trees everywhere
across the road to retard the progress of
the rebel forces and continually fired at
them from behind logs and trees and
recks, hand itaisi even said that Bragg
travelled with fifteen hundred heavily
loaded wagons and huge droves of cattle.
We shall give careful statement of facts
if we can get them in reliable form.
But mquestiouably Gen. Bnell, for
some reason, has failed to redeem the
promises confidently made in his behalf
by his friends. The country expected
him, at the head of his mighty army, not
toilet Bragg get out of Kentucky. There
is undeniably a very extended impress
sion that energy has been wanting in the
pursuit Murmurs are loud and deep.
But we should not be hasty in condem-a
nation. All must be aware, that a re-
treating army, fit has little the start,
possesses great advantages over one in
pursuit, for in its progress it can seize
upon all the means of subsistence and
break up travelling facilities, and, be-
sides, it can dash recklessly ahead, not
having to guard, as an army in its rear
must do, against the perpetual danger of
running into ambuscades. The nation

be called Gen. Buelrs failure, and we
