So The Gazette of Saturday last,
gave unmistakable indications that a
new editor has mounted the tripod. His
lucubrations, from the manner in which
they are spun OUT must be paid for by the
yard. They are very thin and watery CRU
ell, indeed. 1t would be uncharitabIe, we
suppose, to expect the new editor to say
so much and always speak the truth and
while we cannot find it in our heart to
insist on his sticking to the truth, he.wil

or two oversights that occurred in his
article on the Jews and the Yankees
The object of the article was two-fold:
first to embitter the Jewish portion of
our citizens against the Government and
second, to add fuel to the fires of hatred
towards New England, which traitors
to the Government have been kindling IN
the North west So'f as Gen. CRAFTS
order expeHing the Jews from his Depart
ment is concerned, it was denounced by
thegfriends of Mr. Lineoln's administra-
ton, and abrogatel by the President
himself Gen Grant-a thing the Ga
zette forgot to mentions one of those
Democratic, Conservative y officers,
who have always been regarded by such
papers as the Cincinnati Enquirer and
Evansville Gazette as the only command.
ers through whose efforts the war can be
broughts to successful Termination.
That one of his conservative meas
ures which ne deemed essential to the
success of an important campaign should
meet with the hostility of the Gazette,
musthaEe occasioned him surprise, if,
which is extremely doubtful, he ever
heard of such newspaper. -s-
Gen. Hovey is misrepresented by the
Gagette This, too, ought not to occa-
sion any surprise. 1t cannot be expect
ed that an officer who is fighting the bat
ties of the country, freely exposing his
health and life, will. be treated fairly by
that paper. Gen. Hovey not only de-
nounced the Jews as class, but he as
bitterly berated the Yankees. We quote
.'rs v-avs Ia rrss55Tuc;r
The Yankees are deluging the
country with contraband goods, and lei
ters. intercepted from the army show
whence they ,(the rebels) are receiving
their supplies -
Thus, the Gazette's insinuations that
Gen. HoVey was venting spite against
the Jews because he held to a different
religious creed, is as false as it is mean.
If we can understand language, the Gen
eral only denounced those Jews who
were dealing in contraband goods and
carrying improper information to the
rebels; and the Ynnkees, similarly en-
gagged, came in for an equal share of the
honest soldiers Indignation. That he
had reason to be indignant any one ac-
quainted with the difficulties which the
Army Of the Mississippi are compelled to
face, on account of the said and COM
fort given the enemy by contraband
traders-Or cowboys, as they were called
IN the revolution-will readily concede.
Upon no portion of the globe and under
no government have the Jews been treated
so kindly as in our own. They have
deep interest in the continuation of our
Government Its destruction will prove
so disastrous to no class of individuals
as to the Jews, and we are confident
base appeals TO the prejudice OF those
living in our midst to induce them to
cast their influence against the Govern
ment win receive, as they merit,
just Indignation and scorn. Intelligent
men can see through such flimsy dia-
tribes as the one in the Gazette, of which
We have been speaking, and knowing the
motive which prompted their eompos-
ton, they will spurn them with loathing
and contempt. r -Tl.
