last night. An attempt to rescue him failed
He has been brought to this city.
A mob has cut the telegraph wires in Day.

feared the Phillips House will be fred. The
telegraph Office has been closed for fear Of
being gutted.
The above is all the news We have in regard
to the matter. The Dayton Journal is the alb

expec cted that Lincoln would carry his des-
potism to point which an outraged people
wonld no longer endure. Tho arrest of Mr..

dignation among the people as will mako the
tyrants tremble. Their day of reckoning is

Gen. Hooker's army, just received from
Wasnington:
The battle of Sunday was renewed Mon
day morning. The enemy appeared to
have forces equal in number to our own.
aud his successive attacks were made with

Eight hundred prisoners. including one
entire regiment the 22d Georgia., +, were
brought to Washington this morning and

An Armed Revolution i'm the
North

Gen. Darlington has been removed
from his position of Military Governor
of Indiana, and Brigadier General Has.
call appointed in his place. This lat
ter General has just issued his General
Order No. s." in which he declares that
all opposition to the ",oar policy" of the
Administration must cease-that opposi.
ton to the Administration is opposition
to the Government-and that all persons
especially newspaper editors and public
speakers, will be held to rigid account
ability for violating the spirit of this or
der.
Now, we wish to know whether any
act Of DESPOTlSM under any monarch
Of England reigning within the last two
centuries, surpassed this bold unblushing
attempt to take from THE PEOPLE the
right to examine, crticise and condemn
the acts and policy of their rulers? Are
the office holders at Washington no lon
ger the SERVANTS Of the people? Has this
government become the sole property of
the agents employed to administer it.
Have the people no longer an interest in
the good or bad management Of the gov
eminent? If they have not lost this in
terest. why in the sacred name of an Over
ruling God, shall they be stripped of their
birthright to discuss, aud to approve or
condemn any policy (whether of war or
peace } which is to effect for good or evil
the country with which their lives, prop
erty and happiness are ihdissolubly linden
titled?
Is an effort by military authority to
take from the People these well defined,
blood bought Constitutional rights, any
thing short of an attempt to effect an
ARMED REVOLUTION and overthrow
of the principles on which the American
Government rests?-Neapork .ddyooote.

Q-Dd they not give them that nick

Q-Why did they gives us that name
Ain order to cast odium upon us.
Q-Who beat them at their game?
A-Thc Democracy, styled by the Re
