Pearne and Sterne.

In Gen. Pearne's .4duocGte, of the 2lst of
March, he says:
"The sensitiveness felt by certain class of
demogogues at the participation of ministers and
religions people in political affairs, and the
clamor raised against such as do participate, are
too well known to be denied"
Nov, you know, Gen. Pearne that nobody OBJ
jects to religious people" taking part in public
affairs but we do object to man gaining infu-
ence in the name of religion, and then turning it
to his private benefit 1t is dishonoring the cause
which a minister advocates to do such thing
But to fortify his position the Reverend Brigadier
General quotes dirty story about Lawrence
Sterne. This is peculiarly apropos on the part of
Gen. Pearne for Sterne was a man of most
Timoleon-like moral character, whose writings
put to the blush the scarlet backed" forbidden
literature of the stews. Gen. Pearne has doubt
less studied the moral productions of Sterne,
hence his admiration for him-"A fellow feeling
makes us wondrous kind" No doubt the Rev.
Brigadier General Pearne has studied the closing
passage in that exciting itinerary-"The Senti-
mental Journey, and from thence drew the in
ference that Sterne was fit to be his guide. In
the course of time, the General might ge. Sterne's
great work "Tristram Shandy" introduced as a
standard religious work for if Sterne is good
authority about the propriety of priests inter-
meddliug in politics, he mus: be on subjects Of
minor Importance

The time has arrived when the manage
ment of our local affairs should only be en-
trusted to men having a permanent inter-
est in the country There is no other
means by which the finances of the county
can be corrected, and its credit raised to
the standard which it ought to occupy. 1t
is quite impossible to do this if the county
treasury is to be annually depleted by de-
faulting officers, as heretofore; and unless
the strictest inquiry is made into the COM
potency and integrity of candidates for the
county officers, we are likely to have rep
etition of past performances. We conjure
citizens to give this matter their most ear
nest attention from this time until the cleo
ton. Let those gentlemen who are candi-
dates for positions in the county govern
ment, let the fact be known from this time
until the election, and if any name is
sprung upon the people at the eleventh
hour let the owner of it be defeated, on the
broad general principle that there must be
something wrong when any such trick is
played. There is no impropristy in any
citizen presenting his name for considera-
ton in connection with any public Office /;
and it is right and proper that an honor
able and competent citizen should be an Of
fce-seeker if he so chooses.
We shall observe with pleasure that
many of our best citizens are office-seekers,
after the manner which we describe, at the
next election; and by this new mode of
ofice-seeking it is to be hoped that profess
sional ofice-seeking will be done away
with.
If we can get board of County Com
missioners of high intelligence, joined to
good character, with able and honest exec
utive officers, the county of Walla Walla
may extricate itself from all its difficulties
in another year; pay off the little legacy
arising from past mismanagement, and ere
ate the appliances necessary to repress
crime in our midst, besides carrying on
many needed public improvements.
But such state of things can never hap
pen; it must be brought about by labor
and vigilance. 1t will pay all who are per-
manently interested in the country to take
part in the operations necessary to cor
rect the abuses and mismanagement of pub
! lie affairs,

THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
SATURDAY MORNING, APR. II. 1858
The News.

LnC N6WSs
The rebels have made another raid into
Kentucky, but their numbers are not
known. So far, they have not achieved
any results favorable to their cause, ard
the railroad communications with the Union
army in Tennessee have in no case been
sundered. 1t is reported that the invading
force is commanded by Gen. Longstreet,
who is opposed by Gen. Burnside.
The operations of the Unionists on the
Mississippi are not clearly reported, but it
is certain that Admiral Farragut has passed
the rebel batteries at Port Hudson, and was
above Natchez on tAe 10th of March. The
Union gun boats had descended Yazoo
Pass to the rear of Vicksburg, and de-
barked a powerful land force to attack
Haynes Bluffs, which is thought to be the
key of the rebel position.
Gen. Rosekrans was in momentary ex-
pectation, at last dates, of being attack
ed by General Joseph E. Johnson's
command. 1t appears that the Confede-
rates have been heavily reinforced in Ten
nessee, and are prepared to take the often
sive--nothing but the badness of the roads
preventing active operations. Gen. Rose
krans is sanguine of his ability to hold his
ground.
All is quiet on the Potomac, with the
usual report that the army is to march to
Richmond 1t is thought that the rebels
are considering the propriety of evacuating
their capital, and transferring the seat of
war to the West No doubt they will do
it, for all that the army before Washington
will do to prevent it, unless there is a
change in the management of matters in
that quarter. The rebels have so long had
their own way in that quarter that they
think they have right to do as they please.
Several bloody cavalry skirmishes have oc-
Cured on the right flank of Gen. Hooker's
forces, in which the Confederates got the
worst of it. The world-renowned j. E.
B. Stuart commanded the rebels, and re-
ceived a severe thrashing from Gen. Aver
ell. 1t would be we'll to keep up this
practice of whipping "Jeb" who is the best
cavalry officer of the rebel army.
Charleston had not been attacked up TO
the 2Sd of march, but Beauregard had is
sued his fftieth proclamation announcing
the approach of 'Lincoln's Hesslans,' and
for the fftieth time has declared his unal-
terable determination to expire in the last
ditch before surrendering the Mecca of Sc
cessiondom. There is no doubt that Beau
regard has lavished his best efforts, as an
engineer, on Charleston; and he intends
to put forth every effort to repulse the
Unionists. The aggregate of destroying
force, considering the numbers, is without
parallel in the history of the world and
the weight of Union artillery will throw
entirely in the shade the Allied batteries
at Sebastapol, and those which reduced
Kinburn. For all this, we do not think
the last ditch is anywhere near Charleston.
The Polish insurrection still continues to
gain ground, and will probably lead to Sc
rious difficulties. Unles the Poles have as
sistance from abroad, they must certainly
be crushed, and that speedily.

That Mail Route.

The mail route No. 5,282 runs from
this city to Vancouver, once week. The
contract runs from January lst 1868 to
January lst 1866. The compensation is
not mentioned in the public notice Of the
Post Master General. From Vancouver to
the Dalles there is already a tri-weekly
mail, and from Dalles to this point a semi
monthly mail. This Vancouver and Walla
Walla mail passes over the same route in
a closed bag, and takes no way matter. 1t
renders no service which the other line can
not, except that it is supposed to come once
a week from Dalles instead of twice a
month bnt in fact it does not come in the
schedule time, and is generally entrusted to
some passenger aboard of the river steam
ers, or sent through as it may chance to be
convenient. How such an abuse Of the
Postal system has been so long tolerated
can only be explained by the fact that
Charles Watrous loaS our Postal Agent.
The money which escapes by this leak in
the Postal Department, would, if it were
added to the semi-monthly route from here
to the Dalles, give us tri-weekly mail, con-
Meeting with the Dalles and Portland tri-
weekly mail Representations to this effect
have been made to the Department.

A GooD WORD FOR THE DoN.-If Don
Juan Scrantio should indeed be the choice
of the people of Idaho for Delegate to
Congress, he would be able to instruct the
people of the East how to cook clans ala
Ingin, as they do on the 'lovely shores of
Puget Sound" This is about the only
accomplishment the Dou can boast, unless
it is the remarkable quality he possesses
of stunning himself with the clOochman
for hours together, without descending in
the scale of virtue in thought, word, deed,
or action

27 are received. The following is the latest from
Vicksburg The rebels were throwing shot and
shell at the men employed on the canal, but did
no damage. Heavy firing was heard in the di-
rection of Yazoo river, supposed to come from the
troops sent up Stutes' Bayou. The Indianolo is
reported to have been captured. She is said to
have been found half submerged 40 miles below
Wanenton. Another dispatch says the Indianola
was blown up by the rebels and is total wreck.

PORTLAND, (Me.) March 27.-The Bohemia,

several times by the soldiers at the point of the

News of March 2Sth.

WASHINGTON, March 2S-Oficial and private
advices received from the city of Mexico to the
goth of March, speak of the certainty of success
against the French invasion. The facts which
the writer's communicate tend to show the just
ness of the anticipatons So far from the French
having taken the city of Mexico, as has been as
serted, Gen. Foray fell back 20 miles on the goth
of February, and was within Is miles of Puebla
but on the goth of March he was still 1S miles
away. l. was, however, anticipated that Puebla
would be attacked by the 10Th of March, Presi
dent Juarez has visited Puebla and reported the
army in excellent condition. Large contingencies
from the Mexican States had arrived in the city
of Mexico, which would make the garrison strong
enough to resist the French.
CAIRO, March 26.-It is reported at Memphis
that divisions OF troops entered the Yazoo by way
of the Sunfower river, and they have landed
and got to Eagle Bend, just above Haines
Bluff, within a mile and quarter of the rebe

News of March 26.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The long roll was
beat in Hooker's camp yesterday in consequence
of report that the enemy had crossed the river
in force This was doubtless founded on the
massing of heavy bodies of rebel infantry at
Banks and U. S. fords to prevent Hooker from
crossing. 1t was officially ordered to-day that
no person shall be allowed to pass or come in
to the line of the Department of Washington
on the south side OF the Potomac cOntrdbands

desert on the first opportunity. With a
high degree of prudence most of them
waited until the paymaster had been around d,
so that they all had money to pay their ex-
penses.

ants" are living in this country, a good
