A Pregnant Thought.

General Sigel, in late speech before tn e
Teachers Association, at Reading, Pennsyl-
vania, raid, among other things, of the war:
at will not be ended when our soldiers
have possession of the enemy's country.
1t is not enough to have the territory of the
enemy. 1t is necessary to re-o organize. 1t
is necessary to make those changes which
will give a permanent foundation to lib
erty. 1t is necessary to change the mind of
the people who are now opposing US as en-
emies. Do yOu believe that the children of The
South, sOhen they look to the graves of their
fathers, a0iU !ove this couutryf You must
educate them in the public schools, and
learn them the principles of liberty, which
the grave can never claim"
The lines we have italicised, from the
German General, ado you believe that the
children of the South, when they look at
the graves of their fathers, will love this
country?'' will be answered by every one
in the negative. 1t is a most severe reflec-
ton upon the whole war policy, which, in
stead ofuniting US, will put the ban eff mex
tlnguisha6le hate between the people of the
North and the South, who were once united
in the closest bonds Of affection, and ma
tional feeling. Generations can never re-
pair the mischief of this suicidal and mis-
cradle war; Gin, Eng.

trade to New Orleans is esteemed by many
to be great consumatioD. and the reailza-
tioD of all that is desirable; they wish no
other fnality. If these are the standards oy
which we measure, the coDtrivances pro-
posed by Mr.. Whiting will answer our pur-
pose, and we have but to go on, complete
the conquest, and put them in operatlon.-
They might stand long enough to ease one
Administra ion out or to help another IN;
provided we were so fortunate as to have re-
manning the privilege to choose our ADMIN
istrations.
1t is very easy to say "military govern
ment''-to put forth, in sounding phrase the
recommendation to rule conquered COM
munities by the power of armies and officers;
and we have heard fellow-citizens speak OF
it in such a strain of liberality that we ex-
pected every moment to see them put their
hands in their pockets and bring out and
paw over, to somebody authorized to receive
it, the cost Of few years. trial of the ex-
pertinent, as a free donation, or, at least, a
promising investment. 1t is to be regretted
that it is so much easier to plan than it is to
execute: and a very interesting book might
be written showing the rapid progress the
world would have made in Improvements of
all kinds of moral virtue and labor-saving
machinery, but for the cost of carrying a
thousand charming idtas and contrivances
into operation: progress which, through
some inexplicab BILE mistake of Divine Provi-
dence, we have failed to realize. But adj
hitting the practicability, the economy and
benignity of military government over the
conquered South, there are perpiexing ques-
tions worthy of more space than we are able
Just now to give to them. respecting its eff
feet upon ourselves. A clamor was once
ro,saJ Iy ba lovoI flN prass ovor rapoarl-
which, we believe, appeared in the Enquirer,
that: "a government of force over con-
quered people abroad would necessitate q
government of force over disfranchised
people at hone.' The remark was sus-
pected of disloy alty-though for what par
ticular reason we could never ascertain; and
several people with spindle shanks, wintry
noses and dyspepsia, were very sure that
thew discovered in it conclusive symptoms
of sympathy with secession.
Whether or not the remark still continues
contraband, we are unable to say; bat in the
light of recent events, the proposition is
worthy, perhaps, to be pondered upon-and
refuted There is such a thing as paying
too high for luxuries, and while it would be
source of great qualification to trample
upon the personal freedom of the rebels. it
might be worthy of consideration whether
the thing would not be counted extravagant
when purchased at the expense of some
body trampling upon ours. To govern by
the strong hand eight millions of inhabi
tants, on a million square miles of territory,
is no Joke in the way of an undertaking: and
whatever effect such work may have upon
the Government of the South, Of one thing
we may be perfectly certain: that it will
revolutionize our own faster and to a worse
purpose than any other agency that could
be invented.

Administration Policy for Kentucky.

Administration Policy for Kentucky.
The following observations on the result
ofthe Kentucky election and the character
of some Of the men elected, are from an
editorial in the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can of the 18th. Though the writer may
be somewhat mistaken as to the views of
Brntus Clay and others, it Is no less a sig
niicant fact that north ern journalists con-
strue the Kentucky election as substant ial
abolition administration triumph. 1t is
very plain that they expect the new legisla-
ture to inaugurate emancipation measures;
and it is our deliberate opinion that the
Lincoln Admiutration will attempt to force
the policy on Kentucky, and that Bran
lette and many others in high places will
come out in favor of it:
"It is somewhat entertaining to read the
confident calculations of the copperheads
on getting the votes of the Kentucky Union
members in the next Congress. We can
assure them they will have a very happy
time of it. Brutus j. Clay is the brother
of Cassus NJ. Clay, and the st. Louis Re-
publican, before the election. said emphat-
ically and elegantly that he was ''a bird of
the same feather,"a the Republican gen.
orally knows its men. In Clays district
three candidates ran, and got each good
vote. The onerepresented the secessionists,
the second the Dondescripts of the Bell
Everett stripe. and the third, Clay, was the
Administration candidate. Green Clay
Smith is the nephew eff Oassius M. Clay,
and was his Secretary. The whole State
delegation, from first to last, will vote
against any tory candidate for Speaker of
the House, and oppose any refractionary
NJ easures in the interest of the rebellion. If
emancipation is to be accomplished in Ken
lucky, the members of Congress have moth
ing to do with it, and it does not matter
what they think on the subject. The Leg
islature is almost unanimously Union, and
will act for itselfo

Dearth of War News.

We hear considerable com plant in all
quarters of the dearth of war news. Since
the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson but
little has transpired to meet the public de-
mard. To be sure, there have been num-
Der Of skirmishes, but the losses on either
side do not come up to the standard. 10
satisfy the people now there must be hun
dreds killed and thousands wounded and
missing. Failing in this, it does not amount
to anything. Rich Mountain was great
affair until the battle at Fort Doneson. and
that in turn sunk into insignifficance before
the bloody field of Shiloh. kntietam
caused the latter-named place to be almost
forgotten; aud so the war went on, every
battle being only signalized by the greater
amount of blood than bad marked its pred
ecessorS.
The public mind wants blood. An ad-
vance of five hundred miles into the heart
of the enemy's country is all of no impor-
lance, unless the path of the army is made
white by the bones of the slain. Who says
we are not a military people? The eye
which wept over the fallen at the first bat
tie of Bull Run now eagerly scans the tele-
graphic dispatches daily, to learn the tale of
more slaughter. Unless it finds that COM
mensurate with its cry for blood, it turns
away dissatisfied. If Charleston should sur
render to-day, without another gun being
fired, it would not come up to the public ex.
pectation. There must be desperate
charges, breastworks must be carried by
storm, trenches must be filled with the
slain, batteries must be seized and turned
on the toe, breaches made in the walls, and
all the other scenes incidental to the battle
field must be enacted before the general
taste for war can be appeased.

Grant is On the move, that Rosecrans is
pushing forward his advance, and that
Burnside is extending his lines toward East

been SO bunglingly done as to expose the

Burnside's "blunder," but not to assume the

MILWAUKEE, August Is.
To Major General Halleck, General in Chief:
The following dispatch from General
Sibley, dated August z, is just received:
we had three desperate engagements
with 200 Sioux warriors in each of which
they were routed, and finally driven across
the Missouri, with the loss of all their sub
sisteuce. &c. Our loss was small while at
least $50 of the savages were killed and
wounded. Forty six bodies have been found 4.

General Sibley marched from Fort Pierre,
for the Big Bend of the Missouri, on the
goth of July, with 1 200 cavalry, and will
doubtless intercept the flying Sioux. Little
Crow, the principle chief and instigator of
the Indian hostlities. has been killed and
his son captured. Indian hcstilities east Of
the Missouri River may be considered at an
end.

TEE WAR NEWS.

Another week of apparent inactivity, ex-
cept the continuance of the seige of the de-
fences of Charleston. The graud assau 1t
against Forts Wagner and Sumpter to have
been made on the 18th. was either not m ad e
or has not been reported, though it is said
some bricks in the walls of Sumpter have
been pulverized by Federal balls.
Reports are very contradictory in regard
to the armies of Lee and Meade in Virginia,
the question being as to the fact and extent
of their respective reinforcements.
Rosecran's movements are still impenetra-
bic, no definite report of them being allow
ed circulation through the press.
Grant, it is said, is sending a large por-
ton of his forces to Burnside, and they are
supposed to be moving via. Cairo and GIN
cinnati to Lexington, Ky, probably des-
tined for East Tennessee, though the Gin
cinnati papers are very shady on the subject.
Private intelligence however reports the as
semblage of large force recently at Lex
iDgton: The impres5ment of 5000 negro es
for work on military roads (see Boyle's order
in another column) implies heavy military
operations in view; and Burnside has in
person gone to Lexington. For the rest

A Good Story from Judge Lang.

Judge Lang, of Seneca county, was among
the speakers at the Democratic meeting in
Sidney. The Shelby Democrat says:
Judge Lang, of Tifin, followed Mr..
Pugh. The Judge said the Republican
party had come into power by accident, and
thus illustrated the present condition of our
distracted country: he told of Yankee
brothers who resided in Cheesedom, and
who lived on whiting sticks and wooden
nutmegs. One of them becoming tired Of
living in this way, and not contented with
his lot, concluded to go to Iowa. So he re
paired thither. and in time, by industry and
economy, succeeded in purchasing forty
acres of land, and receiving assistance from
his wife, accumulated more land. One day
he bethought himself that he would write
to his brother, from whom he had not heard
for several years. So he went on in his
letter to tell him how comfortable and in
dependent he was; that he had SO much
land, fre house, barn, cattle, horses, &C.,
everything desirable in this world, and
wound up his letter by saying, but to-
morrow, dear brother, WE ARE GOING TO
TAKE FATHER To THE POOR HOUSED The
contractors and swindlers gen.
orally, remarked the Judge, are growing
rich and fat on greenbacks, while the coUN-
TRY Is GOING TO THE POOR HOUSED

@The attempts of the War party press
to prove that Bramlette was the choice of
the people for Governor of Kentucky, ire
spective of the military influence undeni-
ably exerted in his favor at the polls would
be entitled to some respect as exhibiting
some semblance of shame for the transcend
ant outrage against all law and principle,
but for their palpable hypocrisy. For If
Bramlette was the choice of the people-if
q great majority of the people preferred him
to Wickliffe or any other msn-what was
the necessity of having bayonets at the
polls? Did any man fear that Bramlette
voters would be denied the privilege of
voting? No one will assert this who is not
liar in his throat. The expatriation oath
was a requisition fatty in the face of the
Constitution which plainly prescribes all the
qualifications of voter, which the legisla-
ture could neither enlarge nor diminish; and
the declaration of martial law, and placing
soldiers at the polls, and all the acts attend ..
ant upon these, were but displays of the
wanton insolence of unbridled tyranny
Well may those who are prof:ing from all
this seek to throw the infamy of it on Burn
side; for they already foresee the certain re-
action which must come.
