,VDe state .JournaI and HURT.

The person who corresponds for the ONO
State journal from Washington, aud per-
forms the putting and whitewashing for
that concern and its pets, says in his letter
published in the Journal of yesterday, that
there was ''much Indignation at the war
Department. on account of the premature
publication" of the ''charges and specidca-
tions" against that immaculate partner IN
the Journal office, f. w. HURT. We are
gravely told by this correspondent that this
affair of Capt. HURT is intended as a ''side
wipe" at 1.-The Administration by certain
western Copperheads." As to the propriety
of publishing these charges and specifica-
tions have nothing to say, but why all this
fuss and fury because it relates to Captain
HURT?
1t has been common practice with the
Abolitionists topublish anything and every
thing that was charged against Democrat,
for the purpose of manufacturing political
capital. and they, incarcerated in some
bastile or dungeon, and no yirtuous indig-
nation was expressed by the ''War Depart
mentn or the State Journal; but so soon as
one of their pets is caught and serious
charges brought, it is regarded as criminal
to talk of it, and the case must be removed
to Washington to be smothered up among a
set of thieves who are strongly suspected
of being ''particeps criminus." full one
third of the public debt of the country,
made by this war, has been stolen to enrich
pets of the Administration, and 1t is time
the thieves should be exposed and brought
to punishment, but there is little hope of
that. N.

proclamation says that whenever, in any o.
the States named, number of persons
qualified voters, not less than One-tenth Of
the number of the votes cast at the Presi-
dental election in 1850, each having taken
the prescribed Abolition oath, shall estab-
lsh State Government on the principles
of that oath, such Government shall be
recognized as the true constitutional Gov
ernment of the State.
Applying this to Tennessee, the calcula-
tion comes out thus: In 1860, the popula-
tion of Tennessee was ], los, S01, and the vote
for President in that year was 145,3S3.-
Hence, 14,53S of the voters that may be in
Tennessee whenever the count is made, will
be sufficient to reconstruct the State on
Uncle ABRAHAM's plan. If there are not
enough of the bona fide residents of Ten
nessee sufficiently abolitionized, the de-
ficiency can be easily supplied by immigra-
ton and under stringent military rule, such
Q as that of ScHENCK's in Maryland and Del
aware.
The beauty of the system is that it will
enable less than fifteen thousand men to
: hold in vassalage and deprive of their rights
! of person and property some one hundred
and forty thousand white voters. and A MIL
LION of white men, women and children.
