At the close of Hon. Mr.. Brough's spsech
here, thin, Wiry, looking man came up
to me inquiring "are you a gentleman from
ColQmbus-An editor?" We answered that
we had been living there for some time
past. Insisting little on attention he
said, that he had seen us in company with
reporter for a daily in Cincinnati in Gov
Tod's office last fall, and that hia ExcelIen-
cy said he had no news for the day.l
These statements wakened the quizzing
impulse aud we didn't spare the stranger

however, believes that q crushing raid into
Western Virginia, beyond the valley, is the
real design of the enemy, and says that
such IS the prevailing opinion among the
officers at Harper's Ferry. -
We entertain q different opinion. The
mountain region west of Winchester is too
'thtnly inhabited, too poor, too destitute of
subsistence to pay the expenGes of great
military expedition. We suspect that tie

than all.he could do and all he could pick

We think, therefore, that the War Office
Is acting judiciously in providing for the
organization of an army corps under Gen,
Couch, whose headquarters shall be at
Chambersburg. We suspect, however,
that the main design of Gen. Lee is the
identical game which, under Stonewall

that he has been more secure here than

There is getting to be quite a feeling

been regarded as one of the most reliable

hoped to be permitted to let the discus,

us and We propose to accept aud meet it.

arc making in Upton, Just such move

the black Democracy sinks deeper in its
trucking subscrviency to the slave pow
er, and by proper discussion of the
questions at issue and systematic organ
ization we can, each year, roll up a larg

the Administration in its efforts to crush
the rebellion Is certainly an enemy Of
his country, and this the Democracy is
