READ OUF.-The editor of the Darling
ton Independent of the 30th inst, after COM
menting rather severely on the course pur-
sued by Assemblyman Cole of that county
in the Legislature at Madison, closes his ar
ticle with the following paragraph, which
we consider rather rich, when it is recollec-
that Mr. Cole was elected as War Demo-
craft
ave are glad Mr. c. has left the demo-
cratic party: the sooner our old party is
purged Of a class of dishonest office seek
ers-who follow power as buzzards do a

this nation, and the people will rejoice"

The New Order Of the President.


The late order of the President for an
additional 200, 1000 men to increase our gal
liant army in the field is well received by all
loyal citizens. The Presidents fully awake
to the importance Of vigorous and deter
mined spring campaign, and the way in
which his measures and efforts are second
ed by the people, show that the country is
a unit in this matter Of closing out the re-
bellion with the opening of the spring cam
paign.
The situation of the rebels is a critical
one. The exhausted condition of their
finances restitution in food, clothing, and
everything that enters into the daily bust
ness of life, is telling on the people-civil-
ian and soldier-old and young, male and
female, causing despair to seize, as it were,
on the very vitals of the people. The reb-
els have still large army in the field, which
they are trying to increase with the most
ruthless conscription the world ever wit
messed, preparatory to a concentration of
their strength upon some portion Of our
lines with the energy of desperation and
despair.
1t is to meet this shock, that Father
Abraham" is preparing by the present and
past calls. Let US be prepared for this on
set, and meet it with a determined front,
and we cannot but think that speedy
peace will soon follow

the way Of the transgressor is hard, when
he has no Court Martial to back him up in
his tyranny"
II understand that Old L, formerly
Captain of Company c, is in bad repute
among his boys, and that they turn the
cold shoulder upon him when at home on
furlough, and have even refused to shake
hands with him on meeting
"Well boys, I reckon when we get home,
there will be good many old scores to set

satisfaction OF witnessing, as the result of his
incessant labor of three months, the arrival
last night of the fleet of boats from the western
sections Of the canal. The repairs being COM
pleted and the canal itself in order, did not
end the work to be accomplished before navi.
CATION could be resumed There were MANY
distinctions, caused by the long dry spell, that
had to be removed.
The water was let in on the 18th Instant, the
was so great as to keep the water below the
levels several days, and to this cause may be
added the numerous leaks Of minor impor-
lance at various points. The boats having
been laid up drying for so long time, the
seams Of many opened and starting west empty,
number suDk, and these had TO be raised,
and it delayed the arrival of laden beats three
or four days. But all is right now, and the
fleet Of thirty having arrived; sixty more are
expected by Monday night. President Spates
will return Immediately to Cumberland and
urge those boats now there to load and follow
in the trade
