GEN LeE VINDICArEs GEN. HookER-
Gen Lees report Of his Pennsylvania cam
paign just out, is held to vindicate Gen.
Hookers management in defense; though
our people thought it slow and faulty at the
time, and he was superseded in the midst
of it. The New York Evening Post puts the
case thus
"The object of Lees moving into the vel
ley of Virginia wa', rs he coniessss, to draw
Hooker out of strong position, and induce
him to fight battle before WASHINGTON o. a
i disadvantage. In that case Lee hoped to beat
him, and was doubtless prepared to follow up
his success, expecting to complete the cam
paign by the capture of Washington and
Bait more. But Hooker evidently penetrated
the designs Of Lee, who remark that mo fs
vorable opportunity was offered for sttack. =
Gen Hooker dese,ves far more credit than he
has received, for the firmness and Intelligence
he displayed in this game o. var. He held
bis army tor two weeks 6rmly in hand
marched it day after day so as to interpose it
between the enemy and the capital, kept it
ready constantly for fight. but had the Wit,
Notwithstanding the clamors raised against
him, to refrain from giving or even offering
battle 1t is evident that Lee was surprised
and bitterly disappointed at this unexpected
conduct of Hooker. All his plans were dis
arranged, and instead Of invading the free
States on the heels of beaten army, he had
no alternative but to march into Pennsylva-
MIA and take the chances of battle there,
with the greatly increased risks Of loss, in
case he was defeated. There has been no
finer maneuvering displayed in the war than
that by which Hooker so embarrassed Lee"

John Browns soul must be on its travels
again. Think of Franklin county, which last
year gave Democratic majority Of 1897
the home of that heavy political tragedian,
Sam. Medary, and the sweet little jester Sam.
Cox-giving an "Abolition vote Of such
sturdy proportions as almost to wipe out the
heavy majority of last year. Sam. Cox must

has become necessary, in order to recruit his

Heron. Entering the service as Captain,
he has fought his way into the highest posi-

Missouri, four of them in St. Louis, that ad

Three years ago the St. Louis Democrat was
the only paper that favored the emancipation
at all. The discussion Of slavery is evidently

MUscAT1NE CouNTY.-Next to rejoicing at
the glorious victory in our own county, we,
in common with all the friends of the Union
cause throughout the State, have especial
cause for exultat'on at the result Of the cleo
ton in our sister county of Mus"atine. The
utter defeat of Thayer rebels in their own
home, where they had boasted so loudly and
expended so much effort, by majorities rang
ing from $50 to 500, is victory for truth
and loyalty we'll worthy of note; especially
when the victors are the most earnest and
uncomp'omising of slavery hating, liberty
loving, rebel-oppcsing Republicans. 1t has
been no uncertain sound that has rallied the
freemen of Muscarine to battle. The election
of such men as Parvin, Butler and McNutt to
the Legislature, to say nothing of the excel
lent selections for county Offices, is a t. iumph
as honoring to the State as it is fattering to
those by whose efforts the gratifying result
has been achieved.-Dauenport Gazette.

striking illustration

where you and I differ. Let US see if you
can stand on that grou d, my friend, because
if you are right must be with you. You
cannot divorce the Administration from the
Government; it is the only preventative it
has got. 1t is the only representative that
the Government can now have for nearly a
year AID half 10 come. If you are for the
Government you have got to stand by the
Administration. 1t may have erred-it has,
no doubt, made mistakes, because admins
traitor are not always lnfallible men-but it
is your duty to sustain it. "Ah but Mr..
Butler, the Administration is but the engin-
eer, the Government tn engine now, you do
not deny that can oppose the ngineer, and
at the same time find no f4ult with the engine
itsef?" you say. But the engine is gong at
the rate of sixty miles an hour; she cannot
be reversed, ard we are all in imminent dan
ger; is it the time to quarrel with the engin-
eers? Laughter and applause.
