The Reaction.

John Van Buren, who was perhaps the
most efficient stump speaker in the State of
New York in carrying that State for Governor
Seymour, made speech before the Demo
cratic Union Association of New York last
week, from which the following are extracts
we quote from the Hevalds report
This war must 60 on, and those who At
tempt to stop it will be carried away by the
torrent. Loud applause and few hisses.]
prefer peace. That we cannot have
Those whom we are dealing with will not
have it, and those who attempt to obtain it
without their consent, are on fruitisss er'
Lam willing to resort to any means recog-
nized by civilized warfare to save the Union.-
Strike the manacles from the slave. and ele-
vate him to the position of a moral, rational,
intelligent, and, if need be-, a political being.
Immense applause.
The New York Herald says of Van Buren
in this speech, "Like true man he faces the
music;" and of his declaration that the wal
must 60 on, it says: ~ iHri
"This is to the point, and to the purpose,
and it indicates the right road to the Democ.
racy of the Empire State, and OF all the loyal
States" ....-..1 ce..-
The Herald adds:
1--WE must take things as we find them
and do the best that we can to hold the Gov
ernment, the loyal States and their people TO-
gether. Let US consider the Emancipation
Proclamation as only tub thrown out to
amuse the Abolition whale, and let us still
hope that great and glorious practical victo.
ries over the rebellion are soon to come"
Such are among the wholesome symptoms
of reaction against the Copperheads.

a. It is telegraphed that the leading rebel
papers at Richmond are dolorious in tone and
spirit at the not ia ttering prospect of the fa-
ture They think the crisis of the war is at
hand, and having given up all hope Of foreign
intervention, and seeing the stupendous
preparations of our Government to give them
terrible turn ere long, we do not wonder
that they see doomsday approaching.

NEGRO SoLDlERs.-The rebel Congress has
passed law for pressing into the Confederate
Government, negroes, capable of bearing arms.
A great deal has been said by Secession sym
pathizers in the loyal States against the arm
ing of negroes by the National Government.
This class will not have much to say against
the action of their friends at Richmond. :.

HORSE RAILROAD TO TIPToN-Last week,
parties from Upton laid before the officers of
the Muscatine and Upton Railroad Company
proposition to complete the road from Will
ton to Upton for use as horse railroad. No
definite terms were submitted, and the mat
ter is yet undecided, though steps have been
taken to bring the question to an issue.
Many Of our readers, perhaps, are not
aware of what has been done by our citizens
toward the construction of railroad to Tip
ton. In 1859 company was organized for
the construction of l3 miles of railroad from
Wilton to Upton, to form with the road now
in operation to the former place-"the Musca-
tine and Upton Railroad" During the sum-
mer of that year and the following season
subscriptions were raised from private
sources and 1000 were expended in grad
ing and bridging the line. On account of
various discouraging causes, however, the
work was finally suspended in an unfinished
condition. 1t is calculated that $4,000 will
complete it ready for the ties, and that the
cost of laying the ties and rails and stocking
it as a horse railroad will not exceed $4,000
per mile. Parties in Chicago, it is said, who
have been engaged in constructing and oper-
ating horse railroads, are anxious to take hold
Of the enterprise and put it through, if our
citizens will transfer to them their interest
in the line. 1t is probable that meeting of
the stockholders will be held in few days to
consider the proposition. We eearnestly hope
that something may soon be done to secure
railroad connection between this city and
Upton. It is much needed, and will certain
ly pay literally on the investment.

W Gen. German, hitherto in command
at Helena and charged with cotton specula-
tions, has been relieved from duty, and or
dered to report at Memphis, where court Of
inquiry will forthwith be convened to examine
into the charge that he has been engaged in
cotton speculation, and has, in other ways
prostituted his position to purposes Of gain.
This is fresh indication that the War De-
partment is determined to put stop to the
traffic in rebel products, which, if concurrent
testimony from numerous witnesses may be
trusted, is the principal business to many Of
our military posts in the West.

JUDGE THAYER VS.. JUDE.-The Judge seems
to have about as much contempt for the cor
rect rendering of Scripture as he has for
faithful ministers and good morals. In sug-
gesting that the Apostle Jude "must have
referred to -worshipping preachers when
he spoke of clouds without water, carried
about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth
without fruit raging waves of the sea, foam
ing out hir oson shame; wandering stars to
whom is reserved the blackness of darkness,
forever" he grossly misrepresents that an
cient political preacher. Jude is particular to
state that he is speaking of those "filthy
dreamers who despise dominion and speak
evil of dignities." Or, to be still palmer,
they are those, who, in the language of an
other Apostle, "dspise government pre-
sumptuous, se!fwilled, and not afraid to
speak ecil of dignitories.

Congress, the Clergy, &c.

Logic of Events.

| "A rev Gays since congress passed
bill authorizing the President to accept tn
services of not more than l5O, 900 loyal blacks
to aid in suppressing the most wicked ant
causeless rebellion the world has ever known
The Union party of the country though
black blood no better than white blood. Tha
black mans life was not more sacred thar
the life of white man. That line of bay
onets with black bodies at the butt, was as
invincible as though pressed by whites, but
if compelled to fall back, would prove ne
more fatal to blacks than to whites.
While the measure was yet pending, a
great howl was sent up against its atrocity,
and all sorts of clap-trap phrases were used
in its denunciation. Scarcely had the bill
passed, and before the bowling and denun-
Citations against 1t had ceased, there came
flashing over the wires the intelligence that
the Emperor Of the great nation of France
had been rendered and had accepted the SER
vices of black army from Egypt, in its war
fare against the weak and semi -barbarous ma
ton of Mexico.
France, second to no nation, as a military
power, feeling herself aggrieved at Mexico's
failure to pay her debts, determined to force
their paymeht at the point of the bayonet.-
She invades the soil of Mexico, but at the end
of summers campaign finds her army sad
ly diminished by the hand of disease. An.
other campaign is about to commence, and as
an act of humanity to the white soldiers,
France proposes to garrison the port of Vera
Cruz with 10000 blacks, "the black race not
being subject to yellow fever" And yet,
these blacks are not raised by voluntary en-
listment, the dispatches indicating that they
are forced into service.
We need not repeat here the sickly, death
ly climate Of Charleston, Savannah, Mobile
and New Orleans, nor point to the thousands
of new made graves at the close of every
summer of the. past, of those who have fallen
victims to cholera, yellow fever, &c. It is
enough for our present purpose, to say that
our troops-brave, honest, intelligent, white
American citizens-are now encamped in these
sickly localities, unacclimated and exposed to
all inclemencies and hardships. They are
about to enter upon another summers cam
paign against hostile and bitter foe. They
must not only capture forts, but hold them.
The Union party of the country, believing
the black race not subject to yellow fever, and
as an act of humanity to our white soldiers,
propose to do, on our Southern coast, just
what France is doing garrison the coast ports
and forts with blacks. No force will be used,
but $50, 900 loyal blacks, feeling interested in
the perpetuation of the government, may vol.
UNFAIRLY proffer their services and be accept |
ed. No man can be true friend of humani.
ty, who opposes such measure. Such is
the logic Of passing events.

The Ridge Railroad.

Some there ne who think that this is the propi-
tious time to set about the Ridge Railroad anew
What shy our fellow-citizens who have once sub
scribed to this projected enterprise? Mr.. PALxsH
of Fairfield, Mr.. HorE Of Lexington, aud Mr.
JOHNSON of the Charlotte Road, all speak fayora-
bly, of making III effort. The idea is, that the
Confederate Government may be induced to Assist
the undertaking to a speedy completion as a MID
tary n~scsssity. There are good ressons Tor re-
garding it as such cow, and these reasons may
become moro forcible as the wpr progresses. FealT
ly it would be- ali admirable thing to see thoae OF
our people, who aro directly interested in this
Road, rising to tho occasion with energy and de-
termination, with liberality and zeal. Why not
put the ball in motion Why not 'size the mo
ment Of q possible success, and at least test the
merits OF the question? If the Government
should come into the measure, the thing is done;
and whom we go out of the war in triumph, the
Columbia and Hamburg Railroad may have be-
come also n triumph. Think Of the matter. Whist
a glorious improvement it would be upon the low
backed sulky that now plies between Edseheld
and Columbia? What an immense accommodate
zion, in fact, to the whole Confsderacy?
