the Mnsca,ine Courier, whose editor it
will be remembered was candidate for

Everybody appreciates the horrible

frightened ever since. And now he
contents himself with hurting paper
proelamations at the rebels, and laying
back in his easy chair, with his long
legs thrown up over the fire place he
wonders why the rebels don't lay down
their arms, and why gold has gone up"

enrm'ses. That some important move is
contemplated Of which the people are igno-
rant appears reasonable. IF not, why this
daily increasing of titled personagcs. The
question has been propounded to us. and
We candidly admit we are incompetent to
answer. The matter is no business of ours.
and We presume that if any officer is pres
ent in our city without orders, the fact
must be known ut head quarters.
We are led to understand that every man
belonging to the army is needed at his post.
VIC presume, therefore, that the men alluded
to, have been ordered to report at this
place, if not, the subject should be investi-
gated Immediately, for, if men filling posi-.
tons in the army have the privilege Of alb
senting themselves from their commands a
