A Card.

EDS JoURNAL:-Sir: Having heard
that there has been report circulated
in this city that Lieut. W. w. Combs of
this city behaved most badly at the late
battle Of Murfreesboro, Tenn, and also
another report that he was not there,
but was at Nashville at the time said
battle was being fought, 1 consider it
my duty, being an officer in the same
regiment, to say that the above reports
are entirely false and groundless. Also
that Lieut. Combs was at the battle of
Murfreesboro, and had command Of Co
C of the 42d Regiment Indiana Volun-
teers, and did his whole duty as SOL
der, and did not go back to Nashville
until the battle was over and until he
was ordered back by the Medical depart
ment on account of his health

The Country Safe.

As we go to press, the welcome intelil-
gence comes in that Gen. Hooker has
been appointed to the command of the
Army oil the Potomac, and that Generals
Franklin and Sumner have been relieved
of their commands These are cheering
tidings, and we date from this the sure
salvation of the country. The removal of
Franklin and Sumner from their COM
mands, is in accordance with the terms
laid down by General Hooker before he
would agree to accept the direction of the
army; and it indicates, also, with suffic-
lent clearness, that Hooker is to be en-
tirely untrammelled in his place. We
shall now soon have victorious and
earnest action, instead of mysterious
strategy and continual defeat With
Rosecrans in the West and Hooker in
the East, there is not treason enough in
the North, rebellion enough in the South,
or imbecility or cross purposes sufficient
in the Cabinet, to prevent the war for the
Union from being brought to an early
and satisfactory conclusion.
We congratulate the country and our
readers on the great preliminary step to-
wards that glorious result, in the APP
pointment of General Hooker to the
command of the North and East; and at
the same time take small share of fe-
licitation to ourselves for having so per-
sistently urged the accomplished vete-
rams advancement In like manner we
felicitate ourselves on the successful
exposures which we have made of the
incapacity of Fitz Caesar, the treason of
Fitz John, and the generally doubtful
and dangerous qualities of the entire
Mcclellan set. Little Mac and his
satellites will no longer be nightmare
to the minds of the loyal people of this
country, for the career of the new COM
mander of the army of the North, will
efectually dispose of the military pre-
tension OF the bogus Chestnut street Ma
poleon, as the trial of Fitz John Porter
fixed the character of his strategy with
Pope, between Alexandria and Center
vile in August last The country is
safe; and the utmost mischiefs which
seditious home traitors can perform, will
all be rendered null and void by the
invigorating influence of Hookers ac-
/ tions. Victory to our arms is defeat not
only to the rebels, but confusion to the
seditious scoundrels who are plotting for
the cohfederates in our midst WitkeS'

CAIRO, January 29.-The Mississippi

Clernand, are now in the vicinity of
Vicksburg. A part of the land forces
have landed FIVE miles below the mouth
of the Yazoo River, on the Louisiana
side. and are opening the canal cut last
summer.
The river is now full enough to pour
a good volume of water through the cut,
as soon as an opening is made A few
days will determine its value. Our gun
boats can approach near enough to shell
the city, if that would be of any service.

B1~ A little paper has recently been
started at Mt. Vernon called the "Mt
Vernon Democrat" 1t is, so far as it
knows how, intensely disloyal. 1t might
do some damage were its ability equal
to its malignity. We do not think it
will live long. The air of Old Posey
is unhealthy for traitors. That noble
county has sent too many valiant men
to the war to give support to a paper
that is urging the non-payment of those
brave men, and the consequent starving
out of their families. We are sorry to
see our young friend Huckeby engaged
in so contemplate a business. He had
far better have confined his attention to
" keeping a hotel"
That we have not misunderstood the
designs and views of the Democrat, we
give our readers specimen paragraph
from its last issue:
illinois, Kentucky, New York, and
ANGW uISO III
terms, denounced the emancipation proc
lamation of the President Not another
man nor another dollar for the prOsecu-
ton of the acar under the present policy,
is in effect the language Of these great
sorereign States Eminent statesmen
in aud out of Congress are lifting up
their voices against the wickedness and
inhumanity OF any attempt to extermin-
ate or exile the rebels, and are con-
vincing the people of the utter inability
Of the Federal Government to accom-
plish any such purpose.
Not another man nor another dollar
for the prosecution of the war under the
present circumstances. As no other
policy will be adopted during Mr.. Lin
coins term Of office, we understand the
Democratic cry to be, not another man
nor another dollar for the prosecution of
the war This was the cry of the Fede
ralists during the war of 1872, and we
all remember what came of it.
