Horace Greeley has Made o
speech Against Lincoln.

speech Against Lincoln. .
Horace Greeley's paper, the New
York Tribune, has larger'circulation
in this county than any other Repub-
lican paper, we'believe the Ca6iz Re-
publican not excepted. The subscri-
bers to the New York Tribune invaria-
bly, swear by Greeley. They think
that whatever Horace says or does is
right and "loyal," let him do or say
what he will. Now what will these
followers Of Greeley say, when they
discover that their "eod' has taken
strong ground against the re-nomina-
ton of Abraham Lincoln, their "Gov-
ernment," for the Presidency. twill
cause some of them at least ITO open
their eyes, and take long breath, and
wonder if he is not getting "disloyal'
or T@ T@cepperheadish." An exchange in
speaking of this expression of Greeley
against Lincoln, uses the followinglan-
guage:-It seems not to be inconsis-
tent with unchallenged 'loyalty' for

asssii Lincoln and demand that he
shall vacate the Presidential chair on

Destruction OF the Florida.

There are more than soft whisperings
among the leading New York papers
that the recent collision between gov
eminent transport and the captured
pirate Florida was not purely accidental,
but the result of matured deliberations,
which proposed the pirates destruction
as the most speedy way of settling a
vexed question of diplomacy. If her
capture cannot be sustained and justified
by sound legal maxims, it is poor way
to apologize or make indemnity for our
wrongful act to destroy the vessel in
controversy.
We agree with the Evenin9 Post, that
the charge made concerning the willful
destruction of the Florida calls for a
thorough investigation by the President.
II we blunder in enforcing internal law,
it is not necessary that we should add
dishonor to national ignorance. Great
and powerful as we are as a nation, we
cannot afford to do wrong, even though
we possess the disposition. Better"
as the Post says, "build another Florida
and send her safely to Bahia," than
allow stain of dishonor to rest upon
our national escutcheon. If the Florida
was willfully destroyed let the guilty
agents of her destruction come to sud-
den grief. s.s. .

On the 4th of July, 1927, the State Of
New York emancipated at once its TO-
600 slaves.

by sentence of Court Martial, for de-

Off the scaftold the rope parted and the
prisoner fell to the ground. He was
raised again to the scaffold, the trap re-
adjusted, knot tied in the rope, and he
was again swung off. Death shortly
ensued from strangulation.
The London papers of Nov. 18th, an
nounce the arrival of General Tom
Thumb and family in that city. They
are holding daily lerees in hotel near
st. James Palace. The Star says:
The baby is pretty little girl, with
sition. She will be year old next
month: and it may interest our readers
to know that she weighs precisely seven
pounds and three quarters.
Intelligence from the blockading fleet
off Charleston states that the steamer
Pontiac recently gave chase to a vessel
supposed to be a blockade runner, but
without success. On returning to her
the Pontiac was fired on
from either Fort Marshall or Beach In

and others wounded by ten-inch shell,
which struck her on the forecastle.
An awful tragedy was recently enact

English Neutrality

: The Federal gunboat Rhode Island
recently captured the blockade runner
Vixen. The latter is described as "new,
on her first voyage, English built, OF
faultless model, with two horizontal en-
gines, 225 feet in length, with two
smoke stacks, and schooner rigged.-
During the chase she ran fourteen
knots an hour, her wheels turning so
rapidly, as to throw off the buckets -
The Vixen is said to be splendid prize.
What we wish to call attention to is the
fact that she was built in an English
port, by English mechanics, and was
loaded with a cargo furnished by Eng
: ishtcontractors, and more than all, was
commanded by an officer of the Eng
1ish navy. Is that neutrality?

The Question or B0unties.

The Davenport Gazette Joins issue
with us on the Bounty question. 1t
says lit is not our purpose to occupy
space in refuting the JOURNALS argu-
ments," but at once proceeds to give
1.-THE logic" in our article. 1t insists
that the offer of liberal bounties and OBJ
tanning volunteers is preferable to con-
scription, for the following reasons -
"lst. One volunteer Is worth two con-
scripts. "
This we take the liberty of disputing.
We will take the men who were drafted
in Iowa few weeks since and accepted,
and challenge contradiction that the
average was far above the average Of the
men who made up some of our later
regiments. The truth is, the draft
brings an able bodied man, while vol
unteering and bounties have given us
8 thousands Of boys, who went into hos
pital within week after going into
camp, and thousands more have been
discharged before the end of their first
six months of service. These are facts
which we place against the Gdsette's
~' old adage. -
"2d. There are many young men, u
large number of returned soldiers among
them, who can just rs well enter the ar
my as remain at home; and
that the payment of bounties to such is
neither unwise, extravagant or burden
nd
many others who are not young men,
nor returned soldiers, who can just as
we'll enter the army as those who are,
and they are under just as many obliga-
tions to do so as any American citizen.
We don't believe in asking the young
men to do all our fighting. We want
some of those middle aged men, who
have been piling up green-backs into
splendid fortunes, do their share of
blood-letting. This is not young
mans, neither returned soldiers war,
exclusively. The people are all inter-
ested in it, and could we enact con-
scription act, we would have no man
exempted, except for physical disabil-
ity, and abolish the whole bounty and
substitute system. In a time of nation
al peril, we believe this would be equity.
sd. Drafted men do not and can not
receive sufficient pay to support their
families. "
They receive as much as q volunteer
and no less. We admit that this is the
strongest plea in favor of bounties that
we hear urged. But we question very
much whether in the majority of cases
the families of volunteers have been
materially benefited by bounties. We
believe it has been we'll established that
a majority of recruits enlisted since the
Inauguration of the bounty system have
been unmarried.
"4th. A much larger number of mar
shals, detectives, &C., would be required
If none entered the army unless COM
PEELED. " e.
We can't see it in that light. We
think our cote1nporary will find that the
marshals and detectives are less troubled
with drafted men than those gentlemen
known as bounty jumpers. We
havn't heard Of much trouble in hunt
ing up conscripts, but we can't say the
same of the bounty jumpers.
The Gazette has not changed our
opinion, that we can raise an army and
save millions of dollars upon former
cost

Man the Life Boats.
In these days of floating and sunken
torpedoes and gunpowder plots, in the
bowels Of the earth, one scarcely knows
where he is most safe. Those con.
founded rebels In Dixie are always
brewing mischief, and it is high time
they were closely observed. Every
word, every blow, every impulse means
damage to Yankees. They are deter
mined upon our destruction. 1t was
only the other day that Beauregard,
Brown, and Bragg and Davis, begged OF
the peop'e, who might live between At
lanta and Savannah, to kill their pigs,
slay their cattle, saddle their horses,
burn their crops and dwellings and bar
ricade the roads and highways with pi-
amos, kitchen stoves, feather-beds and
sauce pans, and make the country flow
ing with milk and honey, and through
which Sherman was sure to pass, a
bowling wilderness. .' -
Somehow the people in that country
weren't well about that time and
could't conveniently get out to do what
Beauregard and Bragg wanted DONE
But then those notable gentlemen in
tended us harm in those appeals. 5.s -.
On the 18th of last month the rebel
Congress, a most powerful and formid-
able body o: men, was in session. Upon
the same day Mr.. Barnwell, of South
Carolina, rose in his place, and swelling
with. wicked and malignant designs
against the Yankees, offered the follow
ing resolution, which was agreed to-: D
Resolred, That the Committee on
Foreign Affairs be requested to report
the facts, so far as they can be obtained,
relative to the lawless seizure and cap
ture of the Confederate steamer Florida,
in the Bay of Bahia, Brazil, and what
action should be taken by this Govern
ment to redress the outrage" '..ef.
We tell Secretary Welles that he must
be up and doing, and must add largely
to his naval armament. We tell Mr..
Stanton that more troops must be called
out. The rebels have voted to find out
what action they shall take to redress
the outrage upon the Florida. M.
Heard ye those loud contending waves" :.
How Farragut, and Dupont, Dahlgren
and Rodgers, must feel at the sight OF
these breakers! Wewould suggest that
they first redress Sherman's outrage up
ON the the rebellion in marching 400
miles through its very heart, almost
without obstruction. Better attend to
outrages nearest home, Johnnies. .
