It is dangerous to have an enemy
whose power is so much inferior to your
own that he is contemplate. When the
boyish and smoothed cheek DAVID went
to meet the giant warrior of the Philis-
tines, in battle, with no weapon but
sling, the giant Knocked him in utter de-
rision. The result was, as the hymn
book tells us, that DAVID, who was al
ways a spunky chap,
"Pcked mp a rock popp d him On the Read,
Aud knocked hun 20 the other size o, Jurion-'
being an extraordinary distance to throw
a man Of GoLIAH's avoirdupoise, as any
one can satisfy himself by getting a Sun
day School Map and measuring with a
broom straw the distance between Jeru-
salem and Jordon, Now had COLLAR
been man of discretion, like the sage
ULYSSES, who was mover caught mapping,
even by pretty CALYPSO herself he would
have known that slings are dangerous
things, and too apt 10 dyto hehaaa-which
was no doubt his weakest point He
would have reflected that the Hebrew
army abounded with singers of wonder
full dexterity who could hit hair at
great distance--if the hair was large
enough; and knowing this he would not
have rashly ventured his life in a contest
in which he had all to lose, aud nothing
to win. Now the strength Of the Fed
eral Government is as much superior 70
that Of the rebels, as the strength Of Go
LIAH was superior to that Of DAVID,
We laugh at the presumption Of The reb-
els in daring TO contend against us, We
ridicule them as very silly people. Feel
ing profound contempt forsuch opponents
we lie down and indulge in profound
sleep, while the rebels slyly slip up and
prepare to cut our throats. They have
tried it several times already, and
scratched our throats badly while we
slept, but good luck awoke MS before a
serious wound was inflicted. We are
asleep again, and again the rebels are
preparing to creep upon us "The Philis-
tines be upon thee, SamsonW and it is
true that you awake, shake your locks,
and renew your strength Fortune will
not long favor the careless She tires at
last Of pouring out her favors on those
who do not value them The rebels are
as fierce in their hatred as they are weak
in power and why do wo delay to strike
that blow at their treason which shall

road, over which must be conveyed troops |
and army stores, for Nashville, for yari-
Gus points in Middle Tennessee and FIR /
Huntsville? Is it secure? II is notori-
ously not so. It's whole garrison consists
of a few companies ofinfaniry scattered
along its line Of one hundred and eighty
five miles which are sure 10 be picked
up by aguerilla troop at any time, with
out the romotest probability, or even
possibility Of retaliation. The guerrillas
hold the road il is unpleasant 70 say so,
but the truth had better btslold than
suppressed in case which requires an
immediate remedy. Gallatin has been
surprised, ears burned, army stores de-
stroyed, Geographic communication cut
OF, Union men outraged and their houses
burned, and we can do nothing. We
dispense our infantry until they have no
strength, and then these feeble dctach-
menis are captured bya troop Of cavalry,
which are fifty miles from the scene Of
their deeds before VIC can send more in
fantry to ovcrtake them. There is not
regiment Of Federal cavalry along the
entire road, when there ought to be three
OF four in active motion continually.
II is passing strange that points which
every illiterate rebel in the country can
see clearly at a glance, are not noticed by
military men. What ten year I'D hoy,
dressed in butternut breeches, and Va2ble
to read or write, would need TO be told
that he would lose his labor if he at
| tempted TO run q fox down in a foOtrace!
Why we doubt if he would attempt to
oyertake even rabbit in such an unequal
contest Of speed. Why keep twisting
this great military rope until it is extend
ed from Louisville TO Huntsville if we
allow traitors to cut its strands in the
center, until it is reduced TO a single
thread? Shall we sleep forever? Is this
time TO be experimenting with oaths
and possports2 Is our army working for
the benefit Of the loyal or of the disloyali
Have we such a store of provision, and
armories so exhaustcss that we can give
MORGAN an order every few weeks, foi
guns, horses, and army stores, along the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad? The
authorities here have not the power e
prevent these raids nor 10 punish theil
perpetrators. They have not enough
cavalry; the Federal Government has mo-
supplied them with the means Of punish
ing these scoundrels. Il is for the Gov
eminent at Washington TO say why j
suffers such deplorabIe state Of thing
to continue, which is disgraceful and per
nicious to us, and in the highest degre,
beneficial to the rebels.

Act Of Congress tn relation to
ShiHpiasters.

NJ "a NNAHffNN w NfAAAhOn 10
Shtnpiasters.
We are indebted 10 a legal friend for
the following article:
On the 18th July, 1862, the Congress
of the United States passed the following
act.
The title Of the act gives the correct
idea of the intention Of the National leg
islature in its passage. The first section
provides that the postage and other
stamps Of the United States shall be fur
nished TO depositaries all over the coun-
try, to he exchanged by The said deposit
taries or agents of the Government for
the United States Treasury Notes that
is the stamps, which may be conveniently
used as small change, are put into circula-
ton by furnishing them to the people in
exchange for United States notes. The
advantages derived from the operation Of
this law is-
LIST. II furnishes the people with re-,
liable small-change circulation, and one
that has a uniform value all over the
country.
2nd. They are made receivable in pay
meut of all dues to the United States
under five dollars, and are redeemable in
Treasury notes when the sum Of five dol
lars is presented.
3rd. The law drives out of circulation
the unreliable and in most instances
worthless issues Of Companies, Corpora
tons, aud individuals, with which the
country is flooded. In order to accom-
plish this latter result, it is provided by
the second section Of the act that after
the LIST day Of August 1862, no private
Corporation, Banking Association, Firm,
VI Individual, shall make, issue, circulate,
or pay any note, check, memorandum,
token, or other obligation, for less sum
than one dollar, intended to circulate as
money, &c; and that every person so Of
Tending shall, on conviction thereof, be
punished by fine of $500, or by inn
prisonment for six months, or by both, at
the discretion Of the Court
1t is as much an offence against this
law to circulate a note or check under the
denomination of one dollar as il is TO
mike or issue such note or check, The
act caunot bear any other construction.
