Heading them Oh.

The probable popularity of some ono or
another Of the Federal Generals, give a
world of trouble to the managers of Black
Rrpublicanism. SO imminent seems the
danger il this direction, that the most ex-
port libolcrs in the party have almost
ceased their assaults on VALLANDIGHAM
and the Copperheads, being busy in fore
sailing public opinion against the "heroes"
to whom this war has given birth. Here
is an extract from the Continental Magazine,
which will serve as an index to what il
being done in this direction
'To conduct a great campaign and to gain
important victories, is evidence o fgreat ability
in achieving physical results by the organized
agency and force oiarmies; It does not neces-
sarily follow that the great General is u states.

other hand, is the embodiment of law, aud il
ought, to be the perfection OIL Treason Its instru-
mentalities are eminently peaceful and antag-

There is danger of the defeat Of CHASE
or LINCOLN for the Presidency, should the
people take it into their head to make a
President ont Of one of the Generals OF
this GLORIOUS war;" hence such articles as
the above abound. TURomN, Monet,
and the Butcher of fredericksburg, will
obviously stand no chance for nomination
in the Republican Convention. Even
the Beastly BUTLER cannot com in.
But the reasons assigned for their ex-
%clusion, must carry conviction to every
Black Republican mind. War, says the
Continental, is "the reign of force" and
military men are untitled by their training
to administer civil government, which il
