How 0vERTUREs FROM THE NORTHWEST WOULD BE
TREATED BY TIE REDELs.-A silly story having been
got up Mobile, and published in of the journals OF
that city, coming fom "a distinguished citizen of one
of the Northwestern States to the effect that Indiana
Illinois and Ohio have determined to stop the war and
make terms Of peace with tho Confederate States at all
hazards and that already, "out of Netherlands army
of one hundred and fifty thousand men led against Vcs.
burg all deserted but forty thousand and this
traordinary having been despatched by telegraph
to the rebel capital important if true" the Rich:
mond papers comment upon it with the most bitter rid
cue. They reject the statement as absurd and show
great anxiety lest should believe it, and lest the
deuson should demoralze their army and cause the
troops relax their discipline and their efforts at this
critical moment.
This is perhaps natural enough but there is some.
thing more important behind. Not only do these Jour
nails scott at the intelligence Yankee canard set
ahoat to do mischief to the South but assuming for
guments sake that it is true now or may be hereafter
they repudate with nefabe corn all idea of eyor unit
ing with the Northwest upon any tCrns The Richmond
Enquirer, for eXampe-the special organ of JEFF. Davis
declares for ALL that the States of the
Northwest recall their troops the Conederacy will be
with them under the old flag, or any other they come
two years too late" That surely ought to satisfy all
who talk of restoring the Union by peace Nor is the
organ of the rebel government satisfied with this deca-
ration but proceeds to insult in Advance the people of
the Norihcfst should they evsH to make treaties NTH
them.

their capacity and the directors have enormously In.
creased their rates Flour which used 10 be transported
from the towns on the Mississippi by railroad through
New York at ninety cents per BARREL costs to move
more than thrice the sum- and for corn 1t costs the
price Of Ave bushels TO send one to market.
II will be im possible for the Western farmers to stand
this very long; for hard is their case, how much
harder would have been had not the demand for our
breadsus in Europe been great during the last two
years. But as this from the accident of short
crops Il is not to be depended hereafter and the
prospects for the agricultural interest of the Northwest
in the of the continuance of the war; are gloomy
In the extreme This accounts for the vehemence with
which the Encouragement Of the war is assailed by
nearly all sections Of politicians in that region Il also
explains the bodness of the copperheads there who are
growing more numerous and more dangerous every
-four and are loudly calling for the stoppage of the war
These men are not in majority present but ike the
radicals In the republican party they may soon
ward with them Of more moderate counsels and III
consequences may be most deporabe.
Under the double pressure therefore, of financial
difficulties and of the menacng attitude Of the North
west the war for the Union must DO prosecuted with the
utmost vigor and to speedy and successful termina-
tion Let the emancipation proclamation be recalled
let everything be abandoned that is calculated to pro
long the war; let policy be adopted in which all can
cordially unite, and let Gen. Mcclellan be put at the
head of The War Department at once, and very soor
the loyal States will have cause to rejoice In the happy
results. But if the radical programme be not thrown
overheard, and the in consequence be indefinitely
prolonged it will fail sgnay and suddenly in the mos
disastrous manner, and then wo may bid an eterna
adeu TO GLORIOUS Union, the envy and admira
