A Brightening.

The Eastern news may be regarded as de-
cidcdly favorably, Notwithstanding we have
no decisive engagements to note. Appearances
indicate that We will not have much longer to
await until the deciding battle shall be fought
which will virtually close the war. The
darkest hour is just before the break of day,
and we hope and trust that that hour is past
Our finances are improving surprisingly. and
we hope soon to hear of less complains i'll that
quarter. Foreign capitalists express will
lingness to supply our Government with the
"sinews of war;" which, we imagine, will open
somewhat the eyes of the Wall street gentry.
1t is evident that the rebels are about making
a grand retrograde movement to concentrate
their whole strength at some point i'll Georgia,
aud there die in the last ditch" as they long
ago declared they would do. Prices Of pro-
visions continue alarmingly high, and much
suffering must necessarily result theretrom.
They also appear, from the tone of their lead
ing journals, to be losing confidence in their
own ability to prosecute the war much longer,
even if they were sure Of success in given
time. The momentary CLEAN of hope given
Them by the result Of the Eastern elections
has proven of no practical benefit, and they
are now beginning to realize that the loyal
masses of the North may be surrounded by
treason in almost every form without contain
;ration from It's cOntact II will he rpmpm-
bered how dcliantly the rebels turned up their
noses at every hint Of peace few months
ago, unless it was attended with recognition
Of their infamous heresy-the right of seces-
sion. In contrast to this, how pttiful is the
howl they are raising as tl.ey acknowledge a
possibility Of being obliged to make peace
with the "cussed Abolitionists.' There is
aDivinity Which shapes our ends"

Gatherings by the Wayside.

On the Sd ult there was held in the Tabcr-
nicle. at Salt Lake City an immense meeting
Of the "Saints," at which Governor Harding
and Associate Justices Waite aud Drake were
denounced by Brigham. and others, in the Sc.
versst terms. These officials had offended
them by recommending Congress to pass a
law authorizing the Governor to appoint and
commission all militia officers. 1t is quite
probable that their wrath was not much moli-
fled by the Governors illusions to their "di-
vine institution" in his late message. u. . The
Government has determined upon building
several enormous ironclads, to be 400 feet
long. The iron armor is to be- two feet thick,

Independent" Journalism.

1t Is said that IN the Oldcn time the Prince
of Darkness OH one occasion made great pre-
tense of holiness. and claimed proprietary
control over all the riches of earth, which he
promised to bestow upon those who would fall
down and worship at his shrine. History does
not state, however, that this liberal PROPOSE
ton, coming even as it did from "lrofessor,"
met with any great encouragement. On the
contrary, it rather intimates that the offer was
spurned and he denounced rs an evil doer,
when he Immediately disappeared, leaving
only strong odor of burning birthstone. Had
we any reasonable doubt as to the authenticity
of the above occurrence, we cannot dispute
that il the devil is not now abroad and up to
his old tricks he at least has numerous SUBJ
stiutes acting as his proxies. We have men
who profess philanthropy, yet we never hear
Of their aiding true merit unless they could
thereby sound abroad their own praise, We
have professors Of Christianity, whose donned
robes barely betray the cloven foot and forked
tail. Then we have the professor of reform,
who, with about the natural ability of wood
sawyer and scarcely the education to spell
words OF two syllables, prctends to prescribe
the laws Of life, and gives his reasons for
cause and effect with all the JUNCTION aud COM
p'acency ofeS' SIN. These, and their ilk, are
all small sized egotis.s but what shall we
say of those who, with no greater natural
gifts, should presume to control popular o,,in-
ion against itself. We allude to the indie
pendent" journalist, who seats himself upon
the editoria! tripod with sardonic grin to
whip and lask public sentiment into the chan
mel marked out by his pen. This man rolls
up his sleeves, and coolly announces it as his
determination to publish an Independent"
paper, and woe be to him dare finch during
the ordeal. If anybody is so intrepid as
to object to his peculiar policy, or calls his at.
tention to misstatements made through his pa
per, he blaudly directs attention to the fact
that he publishes an independent" journal.
You must bow to his sovereign will even as
the stately trees bow to the furious blasts of
the hurricane. You must watch his beck,
and applaud or ccnsure with him, or receive
tho fire from his batteries, over which he
stands with lighted match, ready to apply the
the glowing spark. Besides all this, he claims
it as his right to send his chosen man to Con-
grcss or in lieu thereof someoneto the internal
regions We regret that publisher should
deem it necessary to exhibit his " ndepen-
dcnce in this manner We only intend to set
him in his true character squarely before the
people as was done by his master. and see if
he don't vanish of his own accord in cloud
of smoke and birthstone. as did the devil of
old. If he does not, it will only prove that
is gifted with more brass than his ilustrious
predecessor.
