ARMIES can't move during a very cold
or muddy spell. They are spell bound.
The editor of the Western seninel
states, first, that we were an aboliti6nist,
and, secondly, that We now incline to Sc
eessiOnism. He is a two-story slandefsr.
II has been discovered that brandy OF
rum is a remedy for an overdose Of chlo-
roform. Wouldn't a remedy for an over
dose of brandy and rum be a still more
interesting discovery?
A REBEL lady writes from Meridian,
Ala, to Mobile, that the Yankees, while
occupying the former place, not only
stole all the food but took old'Mrs. IS
teeth We suppose the rascals thought,
that, when the victuals were gone, the
teeth were of no farther use.
The Republican papers are discussing
the the oue-term principle pro and con.
The quarrel is a very pretty one as it
stands, and we have no wish to intermed-
die, but nature has shown that great
evils, scourges, and annoyances, such as
measelsj smallpox, scarlet fever, munps,
&C., are all directed by her on this ones
term principle, and we live in hopes,
therefore, that the pestilence of Black
Republicanism will pass over US after its
first infiction without the possibility Of
a recurrence.
THOSE who have witnessed the 0sten-
tatiOus arrival and departure Of some Of
fcers at Washington City, with full
staff, clashing Of sabres, a crowd Of order
hes, and other pomp and circumstance,
will feel refreshed with the contrast of
Lieut. Gen. Grants movements. Early
one morning last week, a letter says, he
escorted his wife and voting son to the
cars; bade them good-by, returned to
Wizards, breakfasted, and then left for
the front attended by a single staff Off
Ger, and they we're followed By two dar-
kies carrying a few packages and a val
Use. On leaving the hotel they took a
horse car, and left with far less parade
than did a score or so of Generals and
Colonels starting about the same time to
go by the same train, in hacks, with aids
orderlies, attendants, and baggage. Gen
eral Grant is a business man, and if he
can but do as he desires, untrammelled
| by any civilian, he will wage battle man
/ fully and 7ictoriously against the Con
federate hosts now being massed to op-
pose him.
The radicals charge that the conserva-
tives are not in favor Of the Union. On
the contrary, we are the only party that
IS in favor Of the Union. The radicals
talk about being Internationally for the
Union, whilst they are not unoondition-
ally for tie Union at all, but condtionaLy
for a Union. We want exactly tie Union
as everybody always knew and recogniz-
ed it, while they 60, not for tie Union,
or for any other Union ever known upon
the continent but for an entirely differ
ent Union based upon conditions of their
own prescriblng-conditions involving
the undoing Of the work Of the fathers Of
the repablio and tending to the entire
desolation of hundreds of thousands Of
square miles Of the country.
| The expression restoration Of the IN
ion, SO often on the lips Of the radicals,
is in their mouths, the veriest mockery.
We confidently believe that there would
have been, long ago, restoration Of the
Union but for their own hostility to such
restoration, and their support of measures
going strongly to prevent it.
