"Drunkcn Officer.. :,

This is the term applied to officers of the army,
when. perchance. they lose a battle, get
worsted before the enemys entertainments. The
other day at Warwick, near Yorktown. on the re-
pulse Of the gallant Vermont regiment by the
rebel forces. the telegraph groaned with the Ii
dings that the officer who led the charge, General
w L. SIXTH. was drunk" Ii now turns out by
the same authority that poor SMITH is one Of the
most temperate men In the army, and that the
telegraph made him a drunkard only for the pur-
pose of excusing the repulse If tina, is the best
apology which can be offered for a dam
aging lie on the character Of a gallant and
sober officer, all we can say is, that the dirty
telegrapher and his dirty prompters should be
kicked by every soldier in the army till he or
they learn that mems character is worth some
thing 10 them, even in times like these. W have
too many apologies of this kind for the few re-
verses which QUE army has encountered. and it
shows loose depravity in those who supervise the
news which the public is allowed to see If the
Government uiH appoint and employ men to
dole out army news to the people, for Heaven S
sake let them be persons who have some regard
for human character and the honor of our gallant

What a Liar.

Wendell Phillips has returned to Boston COW
cred all over with his Cincinnati honors. He
made speech on his return and in the space Of
twenty lines, reported, are the following DELHI
crate ialsehoods He says:
MIR Chase, who placed Mcclellan At the head
of the army. against the earnest circumstances
of Gen. Scott, has faded out of sight"
Again:
"TOombs said he would call the roll of his
slaves on Bunker Hill. | have first heard the
rol-call of "a Massachusetts regiment the sa-
cred soil
Every man of intelligence knows that General
Mcclellan was called to the command of the
army on the earnest recommendation of General
Scott, and not against it. Mr. Phillips. in stat
ing the contrary, knows he is stating falsehood.
Again. Mr.. Toombs never made the expression
imputed to him, as Mr.. Phillips well knows.
Mr.. Toombs expressly denied it years ago, over
his own signature, of which fact Mr. Phillips can
not be ignorant.
Both these statements are deliberate, barelaced
unmitigated ialsehoods We had believed that
Mr.. Phillips was honest and conscientious in his
abolition sentiments, though crafty fanatical
1t is plain that he is a villain as well as
fanatic.-DfrOa Free Press.

The american Messenger, the organ of the
American Tract Society. pleased with the alb
straction of emancipation, is greatly startled by
the actually. 1t says:
These men who have secured their freedom as
a result of the rebellion are increasing daily and
may soon number hundreds OF thousands; mil
lions indeed will they number il the war is long
protracted. What can be done for them, especi-
ally for those sitting through the ranks of our
armies, and increasing in numbers in the cities
and towns which lie near the dividing line be
tween the Northern and Southern States.
The breaking up Of their former families ties
and church relations, their present homeessness
their ignorance OF the laws of the States into
which they come. their improvident habits, their
want of selfreliance and foresight. their almost
universal ignorance of the rudments of an
education, and their consequent liability to be
overreached by grasping men and oppressed by
heartless men, ali urge upon the benevolent
and Christian people of the nation immediate
and we'll considered efforts their behalf.
Yet the obstacles which lie in the way of
their elevation numerous and almost appalling

ton they suffered some great wrongs. the fleets

The Providence Post says from the speech of

relative to the case of Genera, S1oSK, I'VE get
some idea Of the extent TO which insolence can
be carried BY Abolirionists in National Leg
stature, without provoking breach Of the laws. "
Again, the Post says-"the declaration by WADE
that the man who quotes the Constitution in this
great crisis. is a traitor Is worthy of this Abo-
ltion leader in the Senate, and shows to what
lengths the party now controlling that body
would carry their assaults upon the rights Of the
people. If they dared to go any farther than they
have already gone in thrustng loyal men into
Bastiles. The time is fast coming when the peo-
pie viii get their huge paws upon these fattened

Significant Facts.

An examination Of the Treasurers and Audi
tors books show that the total taxes assessed IN
this county for 1861 amount to over SSl 600
of which nearly $4,000 are returned delinquent
of this amount 1000 is in Vincennes. Among
the heaviest deGnquents in this city, too, may
be found the names of several OF our most
prominent Republicans-the men who are the
most rampant and intolerant war advocates
who are continually crying out, Sustain your
Government" "Let US give the last dollar and
the last man." &c. Had they not better prove
their sincerely by their actSl
IL our people are now unable to meet their
obligations in the shape of taxes, what will they
do when Lincon's tax gatherers come down up
on them as thick as locusts? The prospect is
indeed rather gloomy VincenRes Sun.
