A Decent White Man as Good as a
Niger"

General Jim Lane, of Kansas, is enroll
ling negroes in that State for the war
So is Governor ANDREW, Of Massachus-
etts. In speech recently delivered at
Leavenworth, LANE said We quote
from the Eapress of Friday evening, and,
of course, it cannot be reasonable in us to
follow that patriotic example.
"I haze ol,eays 6elieued that q decent
achite man soas as good as any nigger.-
And the negroes are mistaken if they
think white men can fight for them while
they stay at home. We have opened the
pathway. We don't threaten, but we
have been saying that you would fight,
and if you won't fight we will make you.
Government has at last determined to
turn the nigyer loose {: Gen. Halleck and
every other general has 50 determined -
| have always believed that within ninety
days after We began to make war in ear
nest, the rebel armies would be dispersed
Terrible, devastating war is now to be
prosecuted by the Union arms No more
watching rebel property, no more restor-
ing rebel slaves, no more white men dy-
ing in trenches Negroes are acclimated;
they can work beneath tropical sun
When white man goes into rice swamp
he covers himself with broad brimned
hats; then he takes parasols, then UNI
brellas. Start negro in with forty hats,
and he will have them all off, and leave
that wool that God has placed there for
his protection. Go into the Niggerhom-
ny, where thousands of our men persisted
in the trenches. Don't you think you
could have overcome your love for the ne
gro sufficiently to have allowed them to 90
there and work half the time? AtPhil-
adelphia the other day heard gentleman
say: ut is horrible to let the negroes 90
in.' | said to him: "You want to crush
the rebellion would you be willing to
have mule with steel pointed shoes kick
a rebel to death, and yet not be willing to
have him shot by niger 2" Why, [
would rather be shot to death twice by d
niger than kicked to death once by a
mule"

Information Wanted

Is 1t not singular circumstance, that
while We can count to man the loss sus-
tanned in the recent battles upon the Pen
lnsula by the rebels, that we know nothing
concerning our own losses. Retreating
from an advancing foe, SO rapidly that we
are compelled to leave our dead and dying
in the enemy's hand, our troops are rcpcr-
ted as knowing to fraction the number of
men killed of the enemy. Have we any
kind Of shell or ball that whenever it
strike down rebel, reports the fact with
in our camp? If not, how is it that we
obtain SO soon the rebel loss, while Htahes
as months to ascertain our own. That the
rebels lost heavily we can very we'll be-
ieve, but that pursuing enemy should
lose more than the pursued is an absurdi-
ty. We saw Captain yesterday who has
returned wounded, who says our losses will
foot up nearer forty thousand than thirty,
while the loss in stores, wagons, cannon,
etc will amount to several millions. He
says our siege guns that were mounted on
the lntrenchments were all left to fall into
the hands of the enemy. The general i'm
preston of the officers of the army that he
conversed with is thai an odyance more
mcnt cannot tahe place for several months.
Why is it that the Government holds
back information from the people p
Do they conceive this is the way to inspire
confidence ? No other Government would
dare thus to trife with the people. Had
the English Government dared done so in
the war Of the Crimea, there would have
been danger of popular revoluti on
Why disguise, too, the extent of the dis
aster? The public mind, under such cir
cumstances, imagines from this portentous
silence that it is great deal worse than
perhaps it really is. Nothing surely is
gained by such u policy.-Ney Arh (N.

The Truth Coming Out.

Senator Chandler and four of the Com
mittee on the Conduct of the War, who
furnished him with the facts employed in
his late speech denunciatory of the plans
of the late campaigns, are charged by the
New York Times with practically aiding
the rebellion by exposing the alleged blum
ders OF the Government and its generals.
The Times is undoubtedly correct, but it
might truthfully go farther, and include
the Administration and the entire party of
which it is an exponent in the charge of
completely with the rebels in breaking up
the best government the world ever saw
When the secessionists commenced their
enterprise they were said to be in miser-
able minority even in the South but in
less than a year and half, under the ma
nipulations of the Chicago platform aud
negro freedom doctors, they bave become
strong and united enough to defeat and
outgeneral in series of battles the largest
and best equipped armies of modern times,
and to gain the applause of the whole world
for brave defence of their territory and
their liberties, while, on the other hand, we
have been gradually losing in prestige, in
strength, in credit, in position and in NOR
al force, until the people of the North
have become wearied and disgusted with
the gigantic enterprise Of whipping the
South back into the Union, and would
willingly change the programme, stop the
war, and at least try to settle the difficult
ties of the nation by a resort to peaceful
measures. We do not believe that ma
jority of the people Of either sections de-
sire to conquer or to be conquered, and as
subjugation involves the complete ruin of
the country, common sense dictates that
the unnatural conflict be brought to an
eud in order that the real soyereigns may
have an opportunity to restore as near as
may be possible the old order Of things un-
der which the nation prospered wonderfully
for eighty years. The Union cannot be
saved by fighting, but our Constitutional
liberties may be maintained by peace

side by side against the common foe; the
memory of victories won by their united
valor the prosperity and happiness they

trapled upon by the nations of Europe,
until harrassed with conflicts, and humbled
and debased in spirit they would be ready
to submit to the absolute dominion of any
military adventurer, and to surrender
their liberty for the sake of repose. 1t is
impossible to look on the consequences
that would inevitably follow the destruc-
tion of this government, and not feel in

The Late Congress,

The first regular session Of the 37th
Congress has adjourned. For nearly
eight months of its existence it has done
the country more harm than all proceed
ing Congresses since the. establishment of
the government Nearly all of it's prom
inent acts have been unconstitutional, and,
the majority of the remained ill-timed and
injudicious. The radical abolition and
con6scation measures which have been pas.
sed and the debates on these subjects,
have tended to divide the North and unite
the South, while their financial system
has proved miserably weak and is rapidly
depreciating the credit and resources of
the country. Contractors aud swindlers
have grown rich, however, from the spoils
distributed under the auspices of this Con-
gress, and even Senator is found to be
in collusion with the thieving contractors
and receives large bonus for obtaining
contracts, without the slightest rebuko or
punishment by the high and resposible
body of which he is member.
More has probably been doue, says
contemporary, by this body to embarass
the Union cause than by any other, except
perhaps the howlings of the abolition press
and its orators. During the whole time
they have been in session they have
done little else than introduce meas
ures calculated to cripple the Union
cause in the Border States, and to mcddle
with the plans and movements of our
Generals in the field. As soon as move
ment was contemplated which some crazy
member of Congress could not fully COM
prehend, q resolution of inquiry would at
once be introduced to inquire why this or
that step was taken Generals in COM
mand have been suddenly arralgned on
charges of the most trivial character
Charges Of drunkenness have been made
against men who were never known to
have used Intoxicating drinks at all And
thus the army has been kept in constant
state of uncertainty, and the nation in a
feverish state of excitement by body of
men totally unfit to represent people in
volved in the intricate meshes of civil
war. We thank God and congratulate
the country that at least one of the most
provoking causes of our trouble has been
removed. -Erchonqe.

CIVIL LIBERTY.-Men are qualified for
civil liberty in axact proportion to their
disposition to put moral chains upon their
own appetites In proportion as their love
to justice is above their rapacity; in pro-
portion as their soundness and sobriety of
understanding is above their vanity and
presumption in proportion as they arc,
more disposed to listen to the counsels of
the wise and good, in preference to the
fiattery of knaves. Society caunot exist, un-
less controlling power upon their will and
apptite be placed somewhere and the less
of it there is within, the more there must
be without. It is ordained in the eternal
constitution Of things, that men of intem-
perate minds cannot be free; their pas
sions forge their. .fetters.-Burhe.
