LET our public men hiss the shadow of reputation
Our subugation would be the involuntary result of
foreign violence; reputation would be evidence of
voluntary, innate want of principle. Let every South

our misfortune, and the former our crime"

TROUBLE IN THE YANKEE CAMP.-A few days ago
our pckets beyond Tullahoma heard heavy firing in
the direction Of Murrcsbero. dcserter soon after
came in and related the cause of the firing This
deserter said that the Republicans and Democrats in
the Federal army became engaged in dispute about
the holding of the Convention in Louisville, KY, and
from words the parties went to blows with the fist
thence to pistols and muskets; when finally Rose
Grams ordered ont artillery to qUell the disturbance
Two divisions Of the Federal army thus became en-
engaged, and fought each other for the length time
specified above with cannon. Two hundred and fifty
were killed, and large number wounded We give
the report for what it is WORTH hoping may prove
true.

While speaking of peace there is a legend connect

tradition, this spring discovered running three
months before the revolutionary war. Three months
before treaty peace it dried up and ceased to run

The New Haven Courier, an Abolition
paper, which flies at its masthead the
name of old ABE for President in 1854,
talks out in meeting" in the following
style:
"Coutrsctors have carried on the war.
The blood of our men, the groans of the
wounded, the tears Of the orphan, and the
vail Of the widow, have been coined into
money. They have swindled the
Government out of hundreds of millions,
They have piled fortune on fortune, and as a
distinguished officer at Washington writes us,
all the operations Of this war srs even man
eyed BY political swindlers,
There is more truth IN this than we usu-
ally fHd in Abolition newspapers, and we
can only account for it in one way--the
EDITOR has not been appointed to Office or
furnished with fat government contract.
This ia the secret of his apparent honesty.
Of course he will not long be permitted
70 talk treason" in this way, aud fat
contract will be forthwith rendered him to
close his mouth from telling tales out OF
school Such is abolition loyalty

Dayton AGairs Abroad.

The editor of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, has shown himself to be as ignorant
of the local affairs of Dayton as English
writers are of the geography of America,
In that paper of yesterday is an e iitorial
in relation to the emblem affair in the Com
mon Schools of this city, which contains
statements entirely new to the people Of
this community. 1t is purely imagina-
tive. AZ there is not a correct statement in
the article 1t is complete verifcation
of the old saying-"always go from home
to learn the neVs" If it be the purpose
of the Commercial to give its attention to
the local affairs Of Dayton. we advise the
proprietors to locate reliable" reporter
here, aud it might then at least If SO dis
posed. avoid such glsring exhibitions Of
its ignorance,
The Commercials statement that there
is in the Dayton High School the son of
an officer in the rebel army" is wholly
and maliciously false. known 10 be so by
every citizen of the place, The Dayton
Journal. knowing it to be false. made the
assertion that the father Of young man
attending the High School, was in the
rebel army. 1t has however. acknowl-
edged that it lied about the matter, and
made correction of the falsehood The
Commercial man took his cue from the
Journals falsehood. and as lie never
looses anything by being repeated. he ad-
ded that he WAS an offcsr in the rebel ar
my. The past course OF the Commercial
makes it extremely doubtful whether it
has the decency to correct the falsehood,
as per the Journal We win see
The dirty. low-aung insinuations of the
Commercial against the honest working
men of this city. we hurl back in its
teeth. They may not belong to the "up-
pertendom" society of the Commercial
men, but its charges that they "Sbide in
the alleys and stews, loAfers who oseillate
between the almshouse and the watch
house" is a dirty lie. worthy only Of the
source from which it emanates. True, the
workingmen, mindful of their own inter

tocracy, as general thing vote the Demo.

DS~A correspondent Of the daily New

country curious inside view of portion Of
the army under General Grant He says
l noticed this democrsticai element in an
expedition Of which the Times has already
been advised. On the boat, during our pro-
gress up, no line officers could be found who
would associate with each other, but, on the
contrary, each individual with shoulder
strap hunted up their privates and at once
commenced a game Of euchre or old sledge,
and TO electioneer, in q small way for the next
vacancy in Office and popularity at home. In
the rush to the table for meals officers nm
complainingly submitted to be crowded into
waiting Cor the second or third meal in order
that their prospective constituency might at
once satisfy their hunger and not obtain cause
Of oAense against their superiors In con.
yersaton with the Colonel he assured me, in
tone not unmeant to reach the ears Of
crowd Of dirty, lounging bluecoats close by,
that discipline degraded men by making
mere machines of them, and that in this
country, where one man is IS intelligent,
moral, and sensitive as any other we have no
right to tame men by drill and break their
spirit by restraint - - ~ a's
If this is a fair specimen Of the Mississippi
army, we think the siege of Vicksburg is
likely 10 last some time.
