Good Point.

The following, from, the Chicago Times
is simply the echo of what most people daily
remark in conversation: - ESfFEEsgEF
The country is again reminded of the i'm
policy of placing any credence in the often
repeated and semi official announcements,
by telegraph, of affairs in the army. We
have been daily assured, for more than a
month past, that Bragg's army was totally
demoralized and almost disintegrated; tina t
it was crumbling away SO rapidly by eser-
tons that it's complete. annihiiation was
seriously threatened; that officers and men
had lost all confidence in Brsgg's ability as
General; that be had DO military skill at
the best; that Burnside was in easy support
ing distance of Rosecrans; and other absurd
stories were constantly dinned in our ears,
calculated to impress all minds with con !.
idence Of success not justified by the facts,
and to enhance the modification Of defeat.
Rosecrans, with Burnside's aid may yet de-
feat the rebel army. but the rumors Of dis.
affection and decentralization. not only in
Bragg's army bnt elsewhere, are now effectu-
ally exploded.'P ssE FEf =" Z

A Niger SELLING WHITE PEoPLE.-In

Dover m ade his appearance in this city with
four white men, offering them for sale as

smoked his cigar, had on a white collar
covering his ears nearly out of sight, and cut
a nonstrous swell about the streets, with
his slaves tagging along behind. He was a
genuine specimen of that happy class who

TIE DEMocRATIc PARTY.-Letthose who
now assail7the Dem ocracy remember always
one fact-that history has viDdicated every
position and justified every important act of
that party from the organ IL alton of the
soverDnent down to now. Discreet men
W no anticipatea future, aud d. not object
to the enjoyment Of sslf-respect in time to
come, better rnminate little on this sisnifi-
cant truth. Without claiming absolute in
falibiiity the Dem ocracy have asrightto
dwell with satisfaction and pride upon the
fact that their success has been uniformly
the property and progress Of the cou ntry and
the Increased happiness of the people; that
their cardinal aprinciplesahaye passed into
laws; that their theories OF self government
have become the well-settled convictions
Of anti mon archists all the world over
They can therefore bear reproach with in
difference. They adhere still to their
cardinal principles aud rely on the sober
second tho't of the people, knowing that
their principles possesses vitality which can
neither be weakened by calumny or defeat.

EDWARD EVERETT THEN AND Now--The
Abolition pa pers. Forney's Press included ,
are greatly tickIsd with letter written by
Mr.. Edward Everett of Boston, to the re-
cent Convention of Abolifionists at Spring
field, Illinois,. The letterwss short and the
pith of it is contained in Recommendation
of the war as means of restoring the U MON.
But we very much question the value of that
sentiment from AMMAN who, not three years
ago, held and deliberately asserted an opin-
ion directly opposite to his present profess
ed belief. In order to show how the hu-
man mind may shit aud veer, ike q
weathercock. in the ever-changing wirds Of
prejudice, passion aud interest, we quote the
following extract from the letter of Mr..
Everett. accepting the Bell and Everett
nomination in 1860. He said: ~ ~
1.-THE suggestion that the Union can be
maintained by tbs mum erical pred dominance
and military proves of one section. exerted
to coerce the other into submission, is, in m
judgment as eif-contradictory as IL is dan
gerous. 1t comes loaded with the death
smell from fields wet with broth ers' blood.
If the vital principle of all republican gov
eminent is the consent of the governed,
much more does a union Of coequal sover-
eign States require as its basis the harmony
of its members and their voluntary co opera
ton in its organic functions"

OCCASIONAL TRUTHs FROM REPUBLIcAN
SoURcEs.-The Y. Haven COMM Courier
a devoted Republican paper, says: o.. "a
Contractors have carried on the war
The blood of our men, the graves Of our
killed, the tears of our orphans and widows,
have been coined into money. They have
swindled the Government out OF hund reds
of millions. They have piled fortune upon
fortune. As distinguished officer at Wash
ington said. call the operations of this war
are managed by political swindlers." ~.
The Harrisburg Telegraph, published by
an ofice-hold under Lncoln, says:
The lust of gain, the greed of power and
temptation of position. which now prevail
among a very large class in the free States,
has had much to do with the prolongation
OF the war.
Again:
Seven out of every ten officers now in the
service de9m it to their interests to prolong
the war, simply because with the end of tn Q
war will come a suspension Of position and
salary, such as these men never received be-
fore, and never can receive in any civil posi-
ton for which their talents fit them.
And again:
Added to these are large class in the
mercantile aud financial world, men of i'm
mense influence, who are amassiDg colossal
fortunes solely by the prolopgation of the
war.

Too Bad..AImOSt.

While walking on the edge of the town a
day or two ago, we saw several boys en-
gagged in perpetrating murder of one of
thoseharmless reptiles called water snakes,
which was lying in the ditch by the road
side. They had thrown several stones at
the creature, and paused to dispute wheth-
er the vital spark had fed, or was only
playing oossum.' At this moment, a very
respectable, and skiltul physician approach
ed in his carrisge,and seeing p small crowd
gathered by the side of the ditch, he stop
ped his horse and inquired what was go
ing on The circumstances were related
to him BY the boys, who was still debating
whether it would be necessary to throw a
more etones at their victim, to prevent all
chances of recovery.
Another snake was now seen approach
ing that which was partly killed, and NOV.
ed about as if to ascertain the extent of the
injuries be had received.
That said the physician, who was
looking on from his carriage, that is the
snake Doctor
is 1t p cried the boys; then come along,
Jake, it's no use to throw another stone /;
if the doctor is tending him, he's as good
as dead, and all b couldn't save
him
The medical gentlemen gave his horse a
severe stroke with the whip, and went of
at brisk canter; the boys left 10 an op-
posite direction, perfectly satisfied that the
snake doctor would give good account OF
his patientl
