MUnrREEsBoRo, April 3, 1868.
To the Editor of the. Eng:
L did not think, when last wrote you,
that so many days would elapse without
desperate battle. Every thing looked
portentious and Indicated an early clash
OF arms. Tue same conviction possessed
the army, and, with the cool Indifference
OF veterans Injured to danger and fearless
of results, the men went quietly to work
to prepare for the struggle. Fate. or fear
hangs on the wheels like a lock, and Wars
chariot is yet motionless. The cloud that
gathered and has hung over us SO threat
euingly is not vanishing, but fixed and
as if gathering new force for
more decisive blow. hvery day is add
ing to the strength of both armies, either
in numbers or discipline. The struggle
therefore, will be bloodier and more ter
rife, but proportionatsiy moro decisive.
What the army most desires, and what
the country needs, is conclusion of the
contest, and there needs be little appre
hension that this army will exhaust every
resource in its possession and exert every
muscle to complete the work intrusted to
it in thorough and satisfactory manner.
In fact, with the leaders to direct, the
discipline 10 strengthen, and the enthusi-
asm to inspire, it is hardly credible that
any force Of the enemy, however excellent
ly officered aud enthusiastic, if not doubly
sunerior in numbers, can cope with any
hope Of success with the magnificent army
of the Cumberland, I apprehend that
when the storm does burst forth, its fury
will strew those now vegitating fields with
a destruction Of life and property in COM
parison to which that of the late battles
hereabouts win be trifling. The frown-
ing parks Of murdeross artillery that dot

Still, his method of doing things is not
quite original. Senator Chandler of the

Of the Wholesale murder Of political op-

On the I'd of August, 1862, we were in

deliver a speech, in which he said
HAVE NOT VOTED FOR ANY

ARMY OR NAVY APPROPRIATION,
SINCE THE MEETING OF CON
GRESS ON THE 4TH OF JULY, 1861. "
In a speech in Newark, N. J., in Feb
ruary, 1868, he said:
II remember that it was in the city OF
Newark, little more thar two years ago
that l first gave the pledge to any por-
ton of the people of the United States
that never would contribute, by my
words or acts, to the shedding of one drop
of American blood in civil war

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY. New
York Ecening Post is re-discussfng the
old question of identity that used to be
illustrated oy the case of jack-knife,
which first had a new blade mounted in
the old handle and then a new handle
affixed to the rejuvenated blade, The
question now arises in reference to what
calls itself the Democratic party" The
old doctrines of Democracy have been
entirely replaced with new and opposite
ones, and the old set of men who used to
be known as Democrats have given way
to new lot who were once their politi-
cal enemies. The Democratic Jack knife
is now made up Of an old Federal blade
and an old Whig handle put together.
Is there anything to identify it with the
article from which it takes its name?
The Post would have come nearer the
truth by saying that the Democratic
Jack Knife is made up of an old Federal
blade, an old Wing handle and ''Know
Nothing" backspring

A COMPLIMENT TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN
The New York Commercial AdUerb
ser saws it is fact well worth noting
that for the first time in many years, the
Congress coming into life at the middle
of Presidential term is, in its political
aspect, friendly to the President. For a
quarter of a century, if we are not mis-
taken, an opposition Speaker has been
elected in every last Congress of a Pres
idential term Tha. the next Congress
is not merely Union, but heartily with
the President, is strong testimony to the
popular estimate of the fidelity, honesty
and patriotism of Abraham Lincoln ant
! his advisers.

For Prosecuting Attnrney.

The Democracy of Spencer, Warrick
| and Crawford counties, so far as we
have been able to learn, have settled up
on W. IL Blount Esq, of Rockport, as
the candidate for whom they will cast
their votes for Prosecuting Attorney of
the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, at the en-
suing October election. This we pre-
sumo will give general satisfaction to
the other counties in the district 1t is
altogether useless for the Democrats to
run more than one candidate for that
otfice-the result of which would be the
election of the Republican candidate, as
was the case two years ago, in the cleo
ton of Blythe Hynes, Esq.
Let the Democracy of the district unite
upon Mr.. Blount, and elect him, by an
overwhelming majority; and our word
for it they will never have cause to re-
gret it. Let the Democrats of each
county see to it, that the name of William
H. Blount is properly placed upon the
Democratic ticket.-Rockport Demo
crGt
Oh, ah, How's this? The Warrick
Enquirer says the regular nominee of
the Democratic party is Mr.. Lewis c.
Stinson, and that he was nominated by
the Democratic Convention held in Spen-
Ger county. Now, we want to know if
the Democrat is at its old game Of bolt
ing regular nominations? The next thing
we know the bolter will be abusing Mr..
Stinson for an abolitionist. This kind of
work won't answer at ALL Somebody
will have to be read out of the party.
We are satisfied Mr.. Stinson won't tamely
swallow that kind of snubbing, "Gen-
eral satisfaction indeed! Was ever
such impudence known Does Mr..
Barkwell consent to that kind of caucus
