The Conperheads

The Democratic leaders OF The North
may blind the eyes of the people for
short time. For The purpose of obtaining
official position, through, aud by means
Of their willy, false and deceptive agents
they have induced the great mass of the
people, who are honest, to believe
that the true ends Of the Government
with a perfect restoration of the Union,
can be effected by compromise The
moment the people discover that the
Union cannot be restored by compromise
they will discard their leaders, turn
again into the right track and do their
duty, their whole duty.
The people will, ere long, turn back
upon the history Of the past three years,
scrutinizing the incidents thereof, and
determine as is the truth, that there can
be no restoration Of this Union short of
war conquering peace. The history of
these few years most clearly establish the
position, and justify the conclusion, that
this rebellion can never be subdued but
by arms; that the Southern leaders will
not submit until forced so to do, and that
no reconstruction can be effected with
them short Of a recognition of the South.

OLMsrEAD, and F. N. KNoPP, the former
the chief officer Of the United States
Sanitary Commission, and the latter the
founder and general director of those

the Soldiers Homes. "The soldiers are
more indebted 10 these two gentlemen"
says q distinguished physician, connect
ed with the United States Sanitary Com
mission, "for the proper and smooth
working Of all the machinery connected
with their sanitary good, than to any
other gentlemen in the country" Messrs'
OLMsTEAD and KHoPP left for Murfrees-
boro yesterday morning, TO inquire into
the health Of orr gallant soldiers in the
front. We commend them to 'RosEcRANs'
boys" as good angels, whose mission il
one of genuine philanthropy and patri'
otism.

The peace Policy" Secuted by the
Army.


We have from time to time, given ex-
tracts from the speeches, proceedings and
resolutions Of our officers and soldiers in
the army, regarding the 'peace policy
inAugurAted in the North by "DemO-
crAts," in the pay and interest of the
SlAveocracy we here append an extract
from the letter Of correspondent Of the
Ffss Press, an able and Influential daily
organ, of the DOUGLAS persuasion, pub
liShod at Detroit, Michigan. All honest
and sincere patriots, viii concur with
"Grapesho" (the correspondent that
every true soldier wishes for peace On
an honorable basis. We quote;
"Politics, in q partisan sense, are
wholly ignored in the Army Of the West,
though we strongly deprecate the action
of the Illinois and Indiana Legislatures,
40 their "peace policy is represented
here as tender Of relief 10 the rebels.
There 10 a feryently patriotic feeling of
national pride and glory In this army Of
ours, and, looking upon armed rebels as
the greatest enemies OF Nnclr country,
they view with distrust all propositions
Of peace coming from the North True,
every honest soldier here not only de-
sires, but prays for peace not, however,
that peace begged Of traitors at the ex-
pense Of national pride, honor aud free
dom not that peace which would invite
dishonor and shame upon ourselves, and
chains upon our children, but that peace
which must leave our country one and
indivisible, with lite laws acknowledged
and respected, its constitution reVersn-
csd and untArnished, with it's flag lustrous
and undimmed as the blue vault and
stars of heaven. Such peace, and such
only, will DO acceptable TO The true SOL
der Of our republic. God forbid that
in the frenzy Of party strife or patriotic
delusion, We do not lose our liberties be-
fore we have learned TO love them, for il
would seem that those only who have
been once stricken with disease can APP
prociAte good health.

The True Union Greed.

Hon. DANIEL s. DICKINSON says:
An old-fashioned Jackson Democrat
of the straightest sect brought upat the
feet of the Gamaliels Of the party-bap-
tized at its font, confirmed at its chancel,
and enjoying its lifelong communion,
purpose TO adhere to its ancient faith,
that she Union must and shall be preserved"
and reject all the new revelations COM
mitted to the political Joe Smiths of
modern times, as dangerous and heretical.
| am aware that the immaculate stand
ard of party has been raised by self-con-
stituted leaders, and that all who fail to
fall down and worship at the sound Of the
secession psaltery and saokbut,a ARE mark
cd out for ostracism-that the parrot cry
of "radical" and conservative" has
been set to secession music, and is chant
ed at the matin and vesper devotions Of
the yotaries Of treason, but / am prepar-
ed 10 defy alike the seductions Of their
songs and their bulls Of excommunica-
ton. l inculcate in the premises but
one grand idea, crush aud bury this re-
belliOn at once beyond the power or
prospect, or even hope, of resurrection.
In doing this, would not go out of the
way after slavery, nor to get around sla-
very, as an abstract question; bot
would treat it as would all other ele-
ments,-take just as much of it, and in
such shape az would aid the Union cause
and weaken the rebellion, and no more,
for would have but one great object in
the prosecution Of the war. But if its
prosecution should result incidentally in
cutting the whole Institution from its
mOOring, and setting il afoat as / be-
lieye it must and may, shall cry "out
damned spot" with a most hearty good
will,

The Consumption Act.

The loyal newspapers of the land
unanimously applaud the CONSUMPTION
Act recently adopted, as one of the very
wisest aud most efficient steps yet taken
be the Government against the rebellion.
Not ono loyal newspaper has eve'l pretended to
question its policy. Everybody who is for
the nation putting forth all lis might TO
destroy the rebellion, says IL is exactly
what was needed; it ought to have been
adopted twelve months ago. But we
will not accuse the Administration of
hardness in this matter. II could not
get far ahead of the people, and they
were not ready tillrecently TO measure The
extent Of the rebellion, and the demand
for law which would summon all our
loyal millions to the battlefield. Such
military power as this law will sum-
mon forth is without a precedent in the
annals of the world. Our noble Tennes-
see loyalists all enthusiastically endorse
this measure. We have not heard one
dissenting voice among ne. The law is
only practical acknowledges mt of the
truth which we feel bound TO acknowledge
in theory-that every citizen is under q
solemn obligation TO defend his country a
all times, either with his tongue, his pen
his money, or his body. We must all de
our part in this great war. 1t is bas'
disloyalty for any Of US to attempt Il
shirk this great duty.
Now let the people stand in one sole
bristling phalanx, shoulder to shoulder
and march as one man under that lal
which symbolizes our freedom and hap
piness, against the piratical rebellion
which was instituted for the avowed in
famous purpose of founding a Govern
ment upon the basis of negro slavery
Move on your columns, men Of the East
Lift high your glittering standards, mel

freedom; the soldiers Of humanity; th

Help for ire Soldiers Families In

II is cheering 10 read the following
from the Indianapolis Gazette. Il shows
that loyalty in Indiana is growing more
enthusiastic than ever:
RIcHlioNp, lND, March ., 1868.
Eds. GAZETTE: Saturday was a great
day in Richmond. II will never be for
gotten. AT II o'clock the band struck up
a beautiful National air, when everybody
rushed 60 the doors and windows 20 see
what was up. Such a sight as greeted
their eyes staggerJ all description As
far as the eye could reach west on the
National Road, and 10 the river on the
east, distance Of over mile, the road
was lined with wagons, loaded with
wood for the families of soldiers.
Two weeks ago the patriotic people
living on the Hillsboro Pike inaugurated
the plan of supplying wood and provis-
ions TO needy soldiers families, free.
The following Saturday the citizens
along the Boston Pike followed suit,
doubling in wood and provisions, on the
Hillsboro folks.
On last Saturday the people on the Ma
tional Road, running east ana west thro'
Richmond turned out, and brought in
100 cords Of splendid wood, aud over
5000 pounds of -four and corn meal.
1t was all distributed to the familier
of soldiers. COL Bickle, the gentleman
whom the Sentinel quite recently an
nounced as acting with the so-called
Democratic party, made the wood-haul-
ere welcome speech, on which occasion
he took especial pains to denounce all
compromizers aud sympathizers with
traitors, and unreservedly declared his
| purpose TO act, as heretofore, with the
Union party.
To. day will be another great day. As
! / now write, one hundred and hCeRty-fUt
Wagons are forming into line, loaded witt
wood or provisions, preparatory to theii
descent on to Richmond, and all for the
families of the brave soldiers.
The flags are flying and the band il
"discoursing" most beautifully.
This is from the Newport Turnpike.
Next Saturday the people living on tho
! National Road, west of Richmond, will
come in with their wood and provisions
The farmers living in that direction are
rich, and promise to Sh7Inb any eiiOr
hereafter made in the wood delegation
line.
This is the way to show our sympathy
for the brave soldier who is battling toi
his country's liberties.
Let other cities emulate the exampl,
set by Richmond.

A small circumstance fixes the time
with great precision, when the rebel
army commenced its inglorious retreat
from the battle field of Stones River.
After the left wing Of BRAGG's massive
force had been checked ana held at Bay,
on the evening of Wednesday, and hay
ing returned to shelter on Thursday-the
early morn Of Friday, disclosed the pur-
pose of the Rebel Chief to try his hand
on the left wing of General RosECRANs.
The immediate command of this attack
was entrusted TO BRECKINBIDdE. His
force consisting mainly Of Kentucky and
Tennessee troops, came up TO this for
lorn hope in gallant style-wishing with
impetuosity only to be slaughtered by
the invincible troops, under the COM
mand Of the gallant Kentuokian General

again repulsed, the field Of their efforts
afforded no other laurels to their Chief
than the dead and mangled corps which
they left behind. The wounded which
BREcEISRIDGE was enabled TO secure,
both national and rebel, were carried TO
his rear and deposited in the Female

Brig Gen. r. b. Mitchell, COmd'g Post:
GENERAL The undersigned, officers
Of the old first brigade, 4th division, of
the Army of the Cumberland, most re-
spectfully ask that you prohibit the
carrying within our lines of that traitor
Gus organ of "Peace Democracy" the
Cincinnati Daily Enquirer. Though we
may give its editors the credit of
being frankly villainous, we cannot adj
mire them for the fullness of their ras-
cality, and duty TO ourselves and our
country bid us 10 urge upon you the ne
oessity Of prohibiting its circulation
among the patriotic soldiers of your com
mand.
The name alone Of this foul organ, is
an epitome Of treason, anarchy, and cow
ardice. II endeavors TO create dislike
and distrust between the rank and Ale
Of our army and its officers; il maligns,
misrepresenls, and abuses the President
of the Government of our fathers; i:
coverty assails the good name and con-
duct of our revered commanding general
of the Army Of the Cumberland il dis
oourages and prevents enlistments; 1t
abets dcsertioa, and palliates treachery
aud .eowardice; it labors TO erect the
platform Of is traitor democracy"
upon the scalfold Of true Republican lib
erty; it struggles TO sublimate villainy,
by decrying patriotism-the nobest at
tribute Of the soul--as a plercsnarv in
stiiat il insults the memory of our great
and honored dead, and it lends its col
umRs to any and every venal, malicious,
and traitorous plot or scheme calculated
to weaken and distract our country in its
prosecution Of a war forced upon it by a
despOtOcrary denominatod the Southern
Oonfederacy."
