Influence OF the "Great Conservative
Party"

Our conservative friends have so often
deprecated the evaporation which the
radical policy will produce in the minds
of the rebels, who are already pretty
highly exasperated, that we beg them to
take peep at the following mirror, fur
nished in late copy of the Jackson
(Miss) Appeal
1t is true the spirit of disaffection, es-
pecially in the Northwest, seems to be
growing in strength, and daily becoming
more threatning in violence. We are
not without hope that the long erpected
recotuttOn an that quarter of the Union
aoiU culnindte during the etentntor-, 1,es
the best scdy TO aid IN this much desired
c0HSun1mdtS0n IS to whip the armies OF
Grant and Rosecrans as effectually as
Lee has whipped Hooker. Send Grant
bowling back across the Mississippi as
Hooker has been driven across the Rap
pahannock, and our conviction is, the
back bone of the war will be broken and
the power of the Lincoln dynasty shat
tered to atoms. So mote it be.
And now, gentlemen Conservatives,
with this view of your faces, go on and
listen to your Merricks, and Voorhees, and
Seymour, and bewail the views of Glenn
ent the exile.

The Cincinnati Commercial saws:


The Chattanooga Rebel becomes more
reconciled to Vallandigham every day.
We have in our possession copy of that
paper of the 29th of May. In the leading
article, which is on Vallandigham, the
following sentences occur:
1--WE really consider his prospects to
be Governor of Ohio very fair We wish
them realized, because he is a peace
man, an able and honest one.
He is our style Of man, and, as such, we
do not wish to see him consigned to the
obscurity and the misfortune of an exile,
where he is powerless for good.
Vallandigham is the Rebels "style of
man." and it wants him sent North
uohere he can do them some good. And

the leaders of this conservative faction,
of which Vallandigham is the rebel lead

MURDER-On last Thursday, it being a
holiday, a large number of persons
spent the day in Ferdinand, and fight
was started between one Anthony Drach
and Herman Beckman, in which several
persons engaged, and among others
Drach's son, Victor. While they were
fighting, man named Kumetscher, who
was standing some distance off, seeing
the Drachs in the muss, ran up and when
within few feet of them, fired a pistol,
shooting Victor Drach through the heart,
killing him almost instantly. He then
ran into Beckman's store, which was
Immediately closed, and through the back
door, and made his escape. Efforts
were made to arrest him, but he eluded
his pursuers and is still at large There
had been quarrel some weeks before
between the murderer and his victim,
which it is supposed led to this act.
Kumetseher is a volunteer in the 91st
Indiana regiment, but the parties were
citizens of Ferdinand township-Jasper

EVANSVILLE, IND, THURSDAY MORNING,

AS an example of its style in this de-
partment of literature, we copy its obitu-
ary on the death of the rebel General
Tilghman of Kentucky:
The rebel General Tilghman was
killed at the bloody battle of Champion
Hills, by shell fired from the brigade
of our old friend General Burbridge.
General Burbridge will accept our hearty
thanks for killing violent rebel and a
very great dog. We made. Tilghman's s
acquaintance near two years ago in
Southern Kentucky. He sent for us to
come to his headquarters, where he re-
ceived US with much politeness in his
private room, and bored us for over one
mortal hour by trying to prove that we
ought to follow his example and turn
rebel He professed great friendship for.
the Constitution, ana love Tor the nt0u
as it was" We left him, unconverted.
When he sent to arrest us the fourth
time, we had had etired from the South
ern Conlederacy in utter disgust, and
were whistling "a Hail Columbia, - Yam
kee Doodle" and the Star Spangled
Banner" ON our winding way to the Ohio
river, while we travelled with accelerated
velocity Tilghman was a man of edu-
cation, but of very little mind. He was
seifconceited, traacherous, revengeful,
tyrannical and dishonest, and we are not
sorry to hear of his death. We rather
guess that the devil has got him, and
that he now holds some very sulphurous
position in the most torrid State of the
ultra Southern COufederacy. Resquies-

The following elegant and "blooded
article is from the Charleston, Is. CD
Mercury:
We are the most aristocratic people in
the world. Pride of estate, of color, and
privilege, makes every man an arlstocrat
in feeling. Aristocracy is the only safe
guard of liberty, the only power watch
full and strong enough to exclude mon
archial despotism. At the North, the
progress and tendency of opinion is to
pure democracy, less government, anar-
chy, and agrarianism. Military despot-
ism is far preferable to Northern democ'
racy, agrarianism, infidelity, and free
love.
Better, a thousand times better, to
come under the dominion of free ne
groes, or of gypsies, than of Yankees, OF
low Germans, or Canadians. Gypsie'
and free negroes have many amiable
noble and generous traits; the Yankees
sour-krout Germans, filthy, whisky-drlnk
ing Irish and Canadians have none.

BS~ We are assured that after the re-
bellion is put down, the people will count
all the errors of the present time. Per-
haps so; but it will be after they have
learned more sense than they have had
for the last two or three years. The peo-
pie are great institution in their way;
but it is sometimes a most monStrous
way, as experience has shown. They
have been crazy for some time, and are
not yet over the debauch. May be in
time they will learn some sense. The
South ran away from the best of Govern
ments, and the North has been spelling
it as much as possibe.-LouisUille DEM

The egotistical assurance displayed in
the above paragraph borders on the SUBJ
lime. We hardly know which to admire
most-the selfsufficiency of the writer,
or his profound stupidity. He must have
been considerably elevated" when he
penned the paragraph. The writer is
evidently much Gifted up by the "peeu-
liar instiution;" hence the sublime
heights from which he looks down upon
the people. The Democrat has for some
time past lifted up its weak voice in con-
tinued effort to stay the tide of public
opinion, which is strongly and steadily

RETALIATION "A strong feeling Is apparent
in favor of having the Government announce
its determination with regard to the rebel threat
of making distinction in their treatment OF
colored soldiers captured from the Union army.
But probably no new statement is needed, as
the whole case appears to be covered in the army
code recently prepared by DR.. Leber and ofhci-
ally accepted and promulgated. The following
are the articles referred to-
"57. So soon as man is armed by a sover-
eion Government, and takes the soldiers oath
of fidelity, be is beligerent; his killing,
wounding, or other warlike acts are not lndivld-

to the case, may spread into the blind and ter
rible rage of civil war. Let these law breakers
be taught that they have mistaken the spirit and
the lessons of their teachers that they may look
for no sympathy nor defence from Democratic
newspapers and speakers, that they will be held
up to the execration of every patriot, alike by
men of all political afinities, as traitors as well
as murderers, and their wicked acts will become
comparatively harmless. And let the people
take this opportunity of learning who are the
real friends of civil order, who are the true law
abiding citizens, by observing who of those who
have but recently talked so fippantly and CO.

Gen. Grants Letter.
HEADQUARTERS SECOND BRIGADE,
Second Division Sixth Corps.
(lst Vermont Brigade) May 80, 1868

S. B. Colby, Esq, Montpelier, VI.
My DEAR SIR Your esteemed favor of the
Goth inst. has Just come to hand. Your recog
milton of the brilliant conduct of this Brigade
il the recent campaign is joyfully received.
Nothing more encourages the soldier amidst hls
dangers, hardships and tolls than the assurance
that his conduct is known and appreciated at
home. Your lively interest in our behalf, and
your pride in the record which the hardy Sons
of Vermont are making, shall encourage us to
future noble Deeds
Permit me to say, that you and the people Of
Vermont cannot be too proud of the conduct of
your troops on the recent battle fields. They
showed themselves worthy of noble sires-wor-
thy of noble State. Nothing could exceed
the brllliancy of their charge across the plain
and up the heightsot Fredericksburg. Nothing
could exceed the undaunted courage and
unbroken front with which they received the
charge of the enemy on the following day.
There was hurled against them a thtee-iold
force, flushed with the hope Of victory, and
led by robellion's chosen leader. With
shouts the enemy rushed upon them like
the waves of the sea when dashed into fury by
a mighty wind.--Broken and discomftted he
fell back like those waves when dashed against
an invlncible rock. And, in turn, the enemy
was charged upon and put to utter rout
The soldier, too, is proud Of his State. Z" The
Vermont Brigade is favorably known through
out the army. To be a soldier from Vermont is
an honor indeed.
Fear not for the good heart and spirits Of the
command. They were never better. We are
now in pleasant camps, performing easy duties
ever ready to do our. part towards ending the
war--eve- ready with aleaden hail or cold stee
TO pierce the heart Of the rebellion.

the Inhabitants, as ruthless invaders upon the

but few inhabitants here, except females, that
can be found in any Of the tenanted buildings

are absent from home, which we presume is
usually true, as we Judge thatmost of the men
capable Of bearing arms are in the Southern
army. We should judge that this portion of

mad scheme Of the traitors, as any portion Of

We are g lad to print below a glowing trib,
ute by Gen. Grant to the brilliant courage of
the gallant Vermonters at fredericksburg. The
letter was enclosed to us in the following note

Mr.. WILLARD-Dear Sir The enclosed
letter from our heroic Gen. Grant in reply to
one from me, rendering the hearty thanks of a
private citizen to his Brigade, for the high
honor it had done our State, is submitted to your
discretion. Although not designed for pubt'ca-
ton, shall expect the gallant writer to admit
the spirit and purpose of the act as my ample
apology. What think is, that with HttIe
more constant and ardent attention towards our
brave boys in their military campaigns and a
little less of anxiety about political and personal
campaigns, at home, our country would realize
much brighter hopes in its terrible strife.
