.wha, shall become of him 2,

The Mirror of this week, carefully avoiding
any reply to an article in the Press under the
above caption, strangely perverts plain Ian
guage by charging that an 'attack" has been
made upon it and its correspondent d. But
the Mirror mistakes il it imagines that intelli-
gent readers will misunderstood its purpose
or be deceived thereby. 1t says:
this star correspondent of the Press is an educat
ed sndcolored gentleman, his judgment and dsinter-
estedness cefers pdrbus enttle his opinion equal
weight with those who have been both in America
and Liberia. From the complexion OF his article
we think he is neither one nor the other.
We suppose il the star writer could only
exhibit a college diploma, that that would en-
title him to the distinction of being "educa-
ted" But close observation has taught us
that those who are most apt to insist upon the
diploma as apassport to such distinction, are
ordinarily the least deserving of its reception.
1t is the diploma alone which constitutes their
claim to the distinction-not the possession
of that degree OF education for which the d.
ploma was designed.
Literary pedants, who may readily quote
Latin. and French common-places, too often
mistake this facility for education; but the
common sense of the people uniformly stamps
such pretensions, and consigns them to the
category to which they belong.
To fling Latin phrases at an opponent and
deny him the possession of education, may be
very convenient, if not consistent withal; but
as legitimate argument, their force is not
easily perceived.

New YORK, Sept. "a
The Tribune's special dispatch from the ar
my of the Potomac says:
During Monday and Tuesday the advance
of Gen. Meade's army has been going forward
on about the same line pursued by Gen. Pope
last year. Our cavalry occupied Madison
Court House on Monday night after driving
the enemy out, capturing nine and killing one.
All the women OF the place took to the bush,
but returned after learning chat they were not
to be butchered. The village is almost desert
ed by the men, only few graybeards remain
ing. Three rebel soldiers were found in the
Jail. They confirm the report that Longstreet
had gone to Georgia, but say he will be back
in time for any fight with Meade.
Our signal corps occupy Thoroughfare
Mountain. The rebels use Clark Mountain,
seven miles to the left, for a lookout"
The Times special dispatch says Meades
cavalry and part Of his infantry are south of
the Rapidan, and our cavalry have penetrated
to Orange Court House without meeting with
any signs of a rebel force. If the rebels have
retired upon Gordonsvile, there must be Ell
Their battle there soon, or the retreat of one
of the confronting armies.

~ The copperheads have found another
cause of complaint against President Lincoln.
They are pouring out upon him their walls of
wrath, because he insists that the negro SOL
der, taken prisoner in battle, shall be treated
by the rebels as a prisoner of war. These hu-
name copperheads would see those who wear
the U. S. uniform and have fought for the flag,
sold into perpetual slavery or butchered like
dogs. This is the latest development of dem
oeracy! Who wonders that such democracy
is to fill the grave of infamy!

CO When you hear man say he should
be glad to see JEFF. Davis hung, but would
wish to see Charles Sumner swung at the OPP
posite end of the same cord, you may safely
set down that man for base traitor, who
hates liberty more than he does treason, and
who, eighteen hundred years ago would have
been one of those who were gratifed to see
an innocent individual crucified between two
thieves.

Merican 4fairs-No French Recognition of
the South.
New YORK, Sept 20.
The Tribune's Washington correspondent
says:
+" Letters from Europe contradict the rumor
that the Provisional Government of Mexico
has sent Especial agent to Richmond to estab-
lish friendly relations. The pretended depart
ure of Vice President Stephens to bargain
Texas and Louisiana for the armed interven-
ton of France is also canard.
Gen. Forey will resume operations against
the remaining forces of Juarez at the end OF
the rainy season at the close Of October, and
expects to dispose of them easily. A consid-
cradle number of French officers have been
appointed instructors of Mexican soldiers, and
10000 uniforms aud stands of arms have been
forwarded from France to equip the Mexican
army"

A dispatch from the front reports that there

sg- Referring to the resignation of DIR
Lord, President of Dartmouth College, and
the election OF successor, the Advertiser of
this city says, 'the trouble that occasioned the
resignation Of DR.. Lord was that he would
not make a political abolition machine of the
college," Falser words were never spoken.
DIR. L. was not complained Of for his not be-
ing an abolitionist. He was bible defender
of slavery, and gave the cold shoulder to his
country in its hour of trial. In word he
was neither in sympathy with the College nor
the people of New England. He had out
lived his usefulness, and had become dead
weight upon the institution over which he
presided, and his resignation was demanded
by the best interests of the college. A man
who has no sympathy for New England and
her free institutions, who cannot give whole
and generous heart to his country's cause, has
no right to preside over New England col
lege; and the sooner all such men resign the
sooner they will consult the best good of their
institutions.

the probabilities are that he will superintend
the final struggle Tor Chattanooga. Ewelrs

Richmond depends upon him and such new
forces as can be hastily raised for its protec-
ton. Rebel sympathizers admit that the Cap
ital is in imminent danger should Meade move
against it. Longstreet's and Hills corps were
in the late fight, and further reinforcements
have been sent to Bragg from Richmond.

ThurIOw Weed on the Habeas Corpus.

1t is but a few months since the self-styled
democrats were quoting and lauding the great
Albany politician as one of the ablest political
writers in the country. Mr.. Weed did not at
first favor the emancipation proclamation, and
this fact commended him to the opposition.
1t is questionable if they will be as well pleas
ed with his views Of the habeas corpus and its
suspension. Here is an extract from his re-
cent letter:
The President has, by proclamation, suspended
the writ of hdbeas corpus. This, though q necessity
IN some portions OF the country and elsewhere per-
fecty harmless, will be made the occasion for renew
ed ana vehement exhibitions of political hostility.
The Atlas OF yesterday announced il as "Suspen-
sion of the Writ of Liberty"
This proclamation, even while more than one
Judge McCunn exists. is needfu as il was in New
Orleans, VIII IRE there was Judge Hall and zen.
jackson. None but enemies have anything to fear
from At. But ii it other wise-f in isolated ca
individual should be wronged than the Government
and the Union should be endangered,
This proclamation will siren then the q government
and weaken its enemies and those who for politic-
al effect choose TO reenact the folly of the Federal
lists will find themselves, after the rebellion has
been put down, where the Eederalists after the
war OF 1872, compelled to disbandthe leaders either
seeking protection from popular ind gnation within
healthier political organizations or, in retirement
and obscurity' invoking the forgetfulness OF their
countrymen.
