A Commemorative thought, last
week, that we had been very careful in
enumerating those who had always op.
posed the war measures of the Admin
istration, not to name any one about
whom there could be any dispute; but we
find one man, and only one, SO far, who
claims that we misrepresented him in
that particular, and that man is Mr..
Chas. Swetland From the testimony
we have on that point we must admit
that we were wrong; whether We or Mr..
s. should be blamed the most for our
mistake we will not undertake to say,
now. 1t is we'll known that he is gener.
ally found in the company in which we
placed him, and his talk, in a crowd, is
mostly of their sort, and we had not heard
any other kind from him. We knew
that he had given literally for some of
the objects connected with the war, but
we supposed it was somewhat in the
same spirit that another well known man
gave his dollar, hoping our soldiers would
all be killed, or all who did not believe
just as he did. We now know from the
best of authority that Mr. Swetlapd has
endorsed measures which have been de-
signed to put down the rebellion, which
even some Republicans did not sanction.
He fully endorsed Gen. Fremont in issu-
ing his proclamation, and regretted his
removal. We are sorry that we misrep-
resented Mr.. s., and gladly mako this
correction. If any others are in the
same situation We shall cheerfully do the
like in their cases. 1t is human to err
The taking away of one, or two, or three
names from the list We gave, can have no
effect upon our argument, for We can give
two names, or ten of men of that stripe,
for every one improperly placed there
The main facts stated cannot be contro-
verted Most of the leaders of the So
called Democracy in Cedar county have
from the first been opposed to "coercon,"
and the prosecution Of the war. We
shall be happy, at any time, to learn and
say that they endorse such Democrats as
Dix, Walker, Rosecrans, Butler, Logan,
our own Croker, and the thousands who
are with them in this terrible struggle fol-
republican principles.

The Burlington Hawk Eye publishes
a private letter from Col. j. b. Weaver,
the gallant Colonel Of the I'd Iowa In
fantry, the regiment formerly commanded
by General futile, from which We pre-
sent the following significant and patri'
otto extract:
"Truly this is momentous period in
the history of our country. "A period
wdicA is trying the souls Of men-an
ordeal of fire, which is to consume the
dross and refine the gold. And never
in any period, since the Prophet Daniel
pillowed his head upon the shaggy name
of the lion, has it been more important
to the world that the leaders Of the peo-
pie should be men of unbending integri-
ty. This is no time for party t,immers
and weak kneed compromisers. No time
to elect man to the highest Office in
our State who is afraid to write the name
of the party that has made him their
candidate. Away with such men. The
people will brand them "unsound un.
sound ~
"The sacrifcal junto that net at
Des Moines concluded to lay Mr. Fisher
upon the altar. But he was no ardent
enough to want to die at present, so the
High Priests met together at your city
to cast lots as to who should suffer mar
tyrdom at this inauspicious period in the
history of their party. The vote is taken;
and To-! the "New York Soldier has the
three best in five! Alb! Dennis, and
Dean, and Jonas, and Steward are not
to die alone. futile considers it his
duty to die with them, and in October
they will all perish as did good old Steph-
en-stoned to death.
If Fox we're alive, what an interesting
and thrilling supplement he would write
to his "Book of Martyrs But these
martys are not without their consolation
They are not without high authority in
carrying on this "wicked crusade -
Why, sir, the Bible says we must honor
our fathers aud our mothers, and love
our brothers as ourselves, and yet LIN
coin persists in arming the negroes, and
thus compels them to shoot down thei'
white fathers in the Southern army -
This is sad picture, and, after fully apo
gravely viewing it, l came very neal
leaving the army "for the same reason
went into it-DUTY" But after further
and more mature reflection, | concluded
that "for the present would unite hear
tily in the support Of the Government"
I should be much pleased to hear from
you often. The army is unit, and viii
so vote this fall. They are too intelli
gent and too independent to be cajole'
into the support Of doubtful men or par
ties.

they have cautiously avoided the express
ion of opinions, but by reason of the facts
of the progress of affairs narrated by them.
From the first there has been scarcely any
faith felt by the public in the prof ac,ed ca
nails, and as to the side-expeditions. what
ever hope might have obtained at their
outset WAS quickly dlssipatcd in their pro-
gress. They have returned, and their cost
is counted by millions of dollars and many
lives. As to direct assault upon Vicks-
burg, We presume no sane man believes It
could be successful even with a force two
or three times greater than that nov held
by Gen. Grant.
We have good reason to believe that
Gen. Grant has not at any time since he
was ordered to Vicks5urg felt any con.
siderable confidence in the success of the
undertaking If We are not il.advised,
.he plan which he has pursued was not his
plan, but the plan of the Washington in
competen,s, who have directed him in the
most minute particulars. His plan we be-
lieve to have been that which our CORES
pendent suggests he should now adopt, and
which, had he been left free to pursue it,
must have brought some substantial re-
suits.
Since the war began every considerable
movement, without exception, which has
been directed from Washington. has failed,
as every movement thus directed will fail
hereafter. If, as is true of the history of
all warfare, few of the ablest Generals have
succeeded in campaig ns directed from their
closets, what but disaster upon disaster are
we to expect in campaigns directed from
their closets by the wreIehed charlaIanS al
Washington?
The Mississippi will not be opened this
year. Less t!.an two months remain in
which cur northern soldiers can operate in
the climate OF Wick sburg, and this brief
space of tine will not suffice for change
of base by Gen. Grants army and the pros
ecut.on OF any effective campaign.
In our humble Judgment the admins
tration,-or, perhaps we should say the
party who control the administration do
not desire hat the Mississippi shall be
open d this year. The party who control
the administration are New England par
~ and The in e-est.of New England is that
the Mississippi shall never be opened
