forefatbers, it il nevertheless S the spirit
OF rebellion and revolution, AM it 10
slwsys, in al countries and in oil hearts,

Not during the present administration
then may We expect to see this war
brought to IN end. The racc OF this
administration is moro than halt rum
The one that will follow will be Of DIFF
feren. character, unIe,s We read the
times amiss, and upon its Inauguration
the Union will be speedily restored.-
The people can well afford TO wal. its
coming. The d fiica,y canno! be set
tied now, nor within two years, either
by force OF farms or diplomacy, upon a
\ nion basis. The war is carried on az
crusade against local institution OF
the South, and the administration now
In power, and the party that backs ii,
will mover consent, 70 long as it lasts, TO
areconstruction upon any other than q

Union shall not exist part slave ana par,

no giving way In the last degree. Even
though entire rebellion should Ia,
down its arms and ask to come back
with their local laws as they are uror
the statute books, the fanatics OF ths
North would not consent.
The conservative element OF the coun.
try sees this position OF stsairs, ard a
revolution in politics is going on. Well
it may, well may the people who love
the Union more than they hate slavery
IN the South, strain every pctyo to
bring about thorough change n the

Mounted Infantry.

As il is certain tEat no. to the last Of Yam
kee raids in the vicinity Of this city until the ends
and as the means heretofore employed have not an
sEered the moderate expectations OF those who employ
ed them, we venture with all humility and respect to
suggest that mounted infantry and artillery may be used
with advantage. The country has been pretty well
CLEANED Of horses and mules but, par being better
than none at all IL would not be amiss to test the patr
otism Of citizens still further and ascertain whether
they would no. prefer to part with their saddle and
carriage horses rather than horses carriages mules,
cattle and crops all destroyed. We have enough
10 oppo tn. feeble raids which the Yankees have late
ly made, but tie difficulty is to get them in position in
time to be made available This Gao be obviated easily
BY mounting Two three thousand infantry, aud allow
Ing section Of flying artillery to each five hundred
mea II forc.s so organized bad been in readiness last
Thursday morang, when the Yankees made their APP
pea7anee at the White House, every step Of the
mys advance to Hanover might have been contested,
and instead Of reaching the South Anna bridge in
day, they would have been kept back indefinitely or
until infantry in force had taken position the
bridge. Indeed two thousand mounted infantry and
two batteries Of flying artillery would have Kept the
envy close 10 his gunbOats On the other hand if mat
eis are permitted to remain they arc, the Yam
KEGS will continue to land just where they please, go
wherever they desire to go, DO all the mischief they
wish, and return with their booty to their boats just
when il suits their convenience.

was known that the enemy had proceeded in the drec

General Price.

Great satisfaction expressed throughout the Con-
federaey when it known that General Sterling Price
had been sent to take command Of the forces which
Holmes and Hndman had disOrganzed and scattered in
all directions. It generally believed that the bitter
feeling against Gen. Price, entertained by the Admins
trAtiOn, had disappeared, and that there cordial
understanding between them. The letter of Mr.. J. w.
Tucker to the Jackson Mississippian, which win he
found in another column dispes eectualy the deusicn
under which the public has hbOred, and indicates that
there is power in this COniederaey which never for
