omcn would use the "rod of correction"
The former bases his usages on false
theory. the latter on the demonstrable
facts 10 the case. Hence, while Seward
wishes TO honeyfugle the rebels and
they "wW not" Solomon would reduce
them to submission by following gu:
the short rule for refractory urchins:
"spare the rod and spoil tho child"
We stand by the inspired Solomon
and say the rebels must be whipped
into obedience. We cannot make them
fit subjects Of the Republic until this is
effec,ually done. If Seward could at
tach them to the Union with his sugary
process the union thus patched up wo'd
last just about as long and be jus. about
as strong as candy cenenf-ths first ap-
plica,ion of waite. would dissolve it; and
without the washing process it would
only be an adjuuc; fos the accumula-
tion of dirt.
Let every inefficient officer be remov-
cd, commencing with Seward. and put
in their places men like Butler, who
knew how to deal with the rebels, and
the war will be ended in few months.
With the candy process-nsver.

We now make this declaration boldly:
That no general will go into the field
any where acting upon Stewards theory
and not fail. 1t is an utter impossible
ity for success TO attend such line OF
policy. Seward belongs TO that class

More Treason Squelched.

The "Crisis." Sam Medary's rebel
organ published a, Columbus. Ohio.
was abated as treason breathing nuis-
ance few days ago by outraged citi
zens and soldiers. Sam took the thing
to heart. made doleful speech with
watery eyes over his misfortune, and
tried to get up feeling of sympathy
which shall embalm him among the
martyrs; but there were none bat trai.
tors TO shed tears with him, aud he will
only reap his reward when he dangle.
at the end Of halter-or when jeff.
Davis rules the nation. The Crisis has
been one Of the mos. despicable Of the
treason sheets in the land. II should
have been "squslchsd" long ago.
The independent. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Kan.) 1860-1874, 1863-03-14
The Rebellion.

The article which We copy in anoth-
er column from the Richmond Enquirer
is significant in more respects than one.
II no! only reveals the fears of the rebels
and takes the gasconade from their
boas,ing. but it shows that they have
wholesome dread of Fighting Joe.
Hooker" from whom they expect no
fsvors. They Go not expect to fnd a
Nc Clellan. the old ox-car! general, in
this active aud energetic officer. They
expect him to follow up his victories. If
he achieve any, and not leave them to
regain il.e;r footing and get ready for
a second battle.
These things speak volumes for
Hooker. Give US generals whom the
rebels dread. VII, m they hate; and ne
have but little fear for the result. II
Hooker gains victory on the Kappa
hammock Richmond will be ours in a
few dayr, if not hours; just as it mi ght
have been taken by McClellan had he
supported Hooker at Williamsburg and
pushed on after the routed enemy. near
ly a year ago.
1t is evident the rebels are in much
alarm and almost in eespsir.
The independent. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Kan.) 1860-1874, 1863-03-14

Of Feb. 10th, i: iudulges in the follow

article. as it indicates that the arch.
traitor feels he has done his best, and
is nearly at the end Of his rope:
"We have fairly entered upon TIE
third stage indicated by the President
in his message, namely: tina. Of war
for subjugation and ex,ermiua.ion. The
people of this Confederacy. insulated
and shut up from all the world. have
now 10 encounter the most horrible and
demoniac effort for ths assassination of
whole race Of people that history tas

have 10 record until history grows gray.
For it is not every century, i. is not
every enon, that shows the world a

the bulwark of the West: so be it
but The vision We see on the Mississippi
does not look very much like exhaus,a-
lion or despair on the part Of the foe
Just YET.
And again, look TO tie mouth Of the
mighty river. New Orleans is not
maiden city, alas the base rag. that
