Tanning Rebels.

General Wilder, who commands a negro
brigade in North Carolina, known how to
tame the rebe Ia. Two Of his black soldiers
we're recently captured by them, where upon
he seized the wife and family of the Colonel
who took them, and notified him that the fate
Of the regToes would be that of the woman
and children. The negroes were restored.
We find the above in one of our Repub-
lican exchanges, and simply call attention
TO the fact which it contains, and to the
approving comment of the editor. to show
the barbarism which characterizes the
time. To sieze the family-the wife and
children-of an officer, enemy though he
be. is in keeping only with the character
of a Camsnche Indian. The act is not
only infamous in the perpetrator, it is a
blemish on the civilization Of the age. 1t
is a disgrace to the American name, and
reduces our people, in the eyes Of the civil
lized world, to a level with savages.
When all that is transporting around us,
almost unnoticed, because of its lamili ar
ity, shall have been written in history, it
will be read with the same s~huddering
which we have experienced in perusing
the most diabolical excuses ofthe French
Revolution. This is the sort of history
which we are making.

The ValIandlghanl Fund.

A highly esteemed friend, enclosing a re-
mittance for the Weekly Enquirer, from
Spring Valley, Greene County, Ohio, says,
under date of January IL:
1.-THE ladies of our township have made a
move for the Vallandigham fund. They
gave n donation party on the sih Of January,
from which they realized about fly dollars
The supper was a splendid affair, and free to
every Democrat. A contribution of one dime
was all that was asked from each lady. They
also contributed the eatables for the supper
The h%ilarity and sociability, as exhibited on
the occasion, was never equaled in the town
ship,-Cih Enquirer.

Republican VnIRIny wearing
the Mask Of Charity.

The Republican 8 instituted a Sanitary
Fair, at Chicago, and for a time it flour
ished finely, But the outside public be-
came curious to know what disposition
was made Of the money contributed. The
information was withheld. The managers
would not tell what salaries were paid to
officers, nor would they publish an exhibit
of the amount of receipts, or the manner of
disbursement, The people saw it was a
swindle, refused to contribute to it, and it
is announced as among the things
that were. Similar institutions elsewhere,
when controlled by Republicans, deserve,
even if they do not meet the same ignomin-
ious end.

nemocraCY.

The prospect of success next fall, which
is very fair, to say the least, if the Demo
cracy are united, becomes a hopeless i'm
possibility in the event of division. While
it is entirely legitimate that every man in
the party should have and express his
choice Of a candidate for the Presidency, it
is also the part of patriotism and duty to
be prepared to sacrifice preiudices and
predictions, and go heartily for the man
whom the majority may designate.

Foreign views OF the War.

from lNe AaouANh oAAhNANNN'l
Territorially, The South has no doubt lost
something; but she has lost infinitely less than
was generally expected, aud not a fourth OF
what some peculiarly audacious partsans OF
the Federal cause have lately set down TO is
credit They say thai the Contederncy now
holds only one-AalG of the territory It claims
The answer is simply that this is utterly IN
true. In The "claim' of course, are included
Missouri and Kentucky, OF which the Conted-
crate Government never held possession, and
of which the North will not keep possession
when once it is defeated in its main object
Ofthe eleven States represented at Richmond
in July, 1861, only one has been temporarily
reduced under Federal rule; or, rather, occn-
MED by Federal armies. Since the outbreak
of the war the South has lost Tennessee and
a fragment of Arkansas, a little portion OF
riverside territory in Louisiana and isolated
positions in Florida and the Carolnas.
The Federals occupy posts in Mississippi,
but that is all. Northern Virginia is simply
a devastated battle field, of which the North
cannot be said to have possession For all
practical purposes ten Of the eleven States arc
still held nv the Coniederates, eNoeptin : such
portions Of them ms have been actually occp-
pied by the Federal troops, under the protec'
ton OF their gunboats. A territory more
than three times as large as France remains
entirely uusnbdued, and ut their present rate
of pro1ress. which is not likhly to be main
tanned, it would take the North ten years to
overrun it. Even when overrun 1t would not
be conquered; but we need moi enter into any
discussion OF what may happen in n case so
far removed from practical probability.
