business facts for the sake

Q
TnE MONROE DOCTRINE This celebrated
doctrine" as it is historically called, is
found in the following short extract from
the seventh annual message of President
Monroe. Foreign nations have acquiesced
IN it for 40 years. With Canada at the
North.cand France in Mexico, our doctrine
is in fair way Of being rubbed out. The
freeing Of the slaves at the south is regard
cd by many as ample compensation for all
we once deemed desirable, and there is no
way to convince some people but The sever
ity Of bitter experience. Before this dread.
wi war, Louis Napoleon would not have
dared to march bis legions into the terrific.
rJaof.North America
The political system of the allied pow
ors, that is, the Ronarcbical or absolute
system is essentially different from that OF
America. This difference proceeds from
that which exists IN their respective gov.
ernments. We owe it, there
fore, to candor, and to the amicable rela.
tons existing between the United States
and those Powers, to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to ex
tend their system to any portion Of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and
sdtetT."

Fisher Declines.

Maturin L. Fisher declines the copper.
head nomination for Governor. The reason
given is that he could not stand on such a
platform as that adopted by the convention
which nominated him. Poor Mahony is in
terrible stew. Copperheadism is certain
~ at discount. The McGregor Times,
and the Sioux City Register, both Demo.
cratic papers, repudiate the ticket and the
resolutions. What Mahonv & Co. will now

tered. Do not mislead your readers. A
little partisan profit for few days will
not compensate for the loss of reliability
which newspaper sustains by distortion
Of facts or even by careless statement of
them. We are all liable to err, but an edi.
tor should regard his written and printed
word to be as good as his verbal issue,
and then his readers would not be led into
wrong paths.
The use Of "copperhead" in application
to the Democratic party, occurs only twice
in this ten line notice, and this is SO much
more liberal toward US than is seen in many
other Republican journals, we feel rather
like thanking the Gazette for its forbear-
ance. The epithet is powerful one in
argument, and in most cases of confirmed
negro-mania it is used as an annihilator.

Professor GoldWin Smith, in letter to
the London Daily News, plsiuly tells the
Eng.isk people that their GoVernmeAt's
speci-us pretsnce Of neutrality is nothing
more than hollow mOckery. BE shows
that the war vessels constructed by the
cOvetous and graspiDg shipbuilders Of
England are not, and cannot be, built for
expectation. The rebels have no ports in
to which to take them. These vessels are
simply pirates, fitted cut to prey upon
American commerce, and Earl Russell
knows that this is their character.
Moreover, in the language Of Professor
Smith, "the manner in which these ships
carry on war is enough in itself TO show
that they are not regular and honorable
belligerents. They burd their prizes at
ses, instead Of taking them into a prize
court-a practice contrary to the usages Of
civilized nations, and obviously liable to
the grossest abuse. II, as has been assert
ed in full Parliament, and never denied,
they burn vessels at night to lure others
into the snare, they are enemies Of the hu-
man race, and ought to be arrested as such
wherever they are found"

R. W. Burt a Lieutenant Of the 18th
Ohio, writes to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial that the question of the capacity Of
blacks for soldiers has been tested in the
vicinity Of the camp of that regiment
Captain Thomas H. Seaman, formerly q
private in Lieutenant Burt's company,
is now in command of company of the
1st Mississippi Africsn soldiers. he
writes the following interesting facts;
ave drill four hours per day, and now
for what may surprise you: In drill the
dsTkey is more apt than the white Volun-
teeEs. This, to you, may seem strong
assertion, but il is fact, for l have tried
drill on white recruits and never Jet
found a squad Of tWenty-four men who
could double from two to four ranks on the
first attempt and not get mixed up. The
first attempt Of twenty-four Of my men to
-dnnhla into four ranks, on q simple sxpla-
nation, was, TO my surprise, done Win
correctness and precision that was very
creditsble to any green hands, and their
aptness extends to all parts OF drill so far
as tested. The men, however, are inclined
to q great deal Of timidity, especially nom
commissioned officers, but this will wear
off as they become posted in their respeO-
tive duties. OF course it is not TO be ex-
Pecled they will prove veterans in two or
three months. AS to discipline have no
fears, for they have been accustomed to a
rigid mode of life. They express quite
resdiness 10 exc senge shots with the reb-
els, who, they say, have done bossed them

az have no fear that il properly cared
for, they will, in areasonable time, become
very efficient soldiers. The great draw
back is the want Of education. / have

The people Of Chicago are engaged in
the discussion Of an interesting plan Of
sngineerisg-the cousiFucticn ofs tgn-
mel under Lake Michigan, for the purpose
Of securing supply Of better water than
they can get near shore. The proposed
tunnel is to be two miles in length, ex-
tending from the shore directly under the
lake, perpendicularly TO the shore. It is
to be Eve feet clear in diameter, walled
with brick and cement eight inches thick.
The bottom Of the shore end of the tun
mel to be sixty-six feet below the level Of
the lake. and to descend at the rate Of two
feet per mile 70 the further end. There
sre to be four shafts opening from the tun-
nel to the world above-One on land, one
in the lake, at the farther end, and two a:
intermediate points in the lake. These
shafts in the lake are to consist of cast
iron offenders, and to be protected by
hollow pentagonal cribs.
Bids for executing this tremendous
work were opened Last week. They
ranged from $685. to $1,O56,OOO. The
contract has not yet been given out. It is
to be completed in two years.

what is found in vallandirham's Record

What is found in Fallandigham's Record.
A correspondent of the Dayton Journal
gives the following occOunt of what ne
found in the Ysllandigham Record;
HIhave found that Vallandigham want
ed the Union as it was" yet he wanted
to divide it into four sections.
81 have found that Vallandighsm want
ed the Constitution as it is" yet he said
the Republican party made the war, be-
cause they did not change the Constitu-
tion.
81 find that Vsllandigham wanted the
Republican party to adopt the Crittenden
Compromise to prevent civil wlr, yet he
said it would not prevent it.
"I find that Vallandighsm is 8 great
lover Of peace, yet he wanted to add for
eign war to cur present civil war.
1 find that Vallandighsm is very much
opposed to the war, yet he said in New
York, that he would not favor peace on
ANY terms.
1 find that Vallandigham is a great
prophet yet his prediction, two years ago,
that England would break the blockade in
less than three months. remains unful6lled,
The wish WAS father to the prediction.
al find that Vallsndigham is an enemy
to all those who do not obey the Constitu-
ton and the laws, yet those who have re-
belled against the Constitution and tho
laws, declare that he is their best friend.
find that Vsllandigham has discover
ed the difference between a foreign war
and the present civil war, yet he has
taught no one what the difference would
be If the rebels would destroy the Union
with foreign help, or with his help only.

The Great RnIlIe Between Rosecraus and

- f1----
Bragg was largely reinforced BY john
ston's army from Alabama, and Long
streets corps from Virginia. On sstur-
day the rebels made the attack on Rose
Grams, and the battle ragged from II A. N.
till after dark. After hard fought field,
both armies maintained substantially their
first petitions. On Sunday the battle was
renewed, and Louisville dispatch reports
that Rosecrans was badly beaten, and that
he retreated to Chattanooga. The tele-
graphic details being mesgTe, many un-
founded and exaggerated reports are hy-
ing about and great anxiety is awakened.
A private dispatch says there was come
fighting again yesterday, (MOnday), If
that is so, it would go to discredit the re-
port from Louisville, Of Rosecrans' being
badly beaten.
Let all await with eomposure the result.
A disaster, though to be regretted, is no
cause for dependency. Disaster is q
part Of the fortune Of war. The fact that
ROsserans was in fighting condition on
Monday is something, and victory may yet
be wrung from disaster, by the courage,
bravery and endurance of our troops.
Grants forces are said to be moving to the
aid Of Rosecrans. For further news, watch
the telegraph columns.
