Ehect Of Grants N1ctor1eS.
It is amusing to read the accounts in the Northern
papers Of the effect produced the Yankee public BY
stAnOn's mendaeious dispatches and the reports OF
Grants fictitious victories. Street corner generals
educated in the military art by newspaper critics, I'M
dsriAke the instruction Of eager and ereduous crowds
ready to swallow and digest the most extraordinary
fAlsshOOds. Flags are hung out upon churches, ana
liquor shops newspaper oHicss and liberty poles TIE
air Is Ve1ed with the drunken shouts OF an naAmed and
nfuriAled multitude, and unfortunate copperhesds,
guilty Of everything except resistance 20 the beasty
and vulgar desposm of the Black Republican mOS' are
denounced as traitors and sumuary beaten TO jelly
In order that Abolition enthusiasm may vent Itself n
4 manner a. once safe and cheap. Oae would i'm
agile that the intelligence Of glorious Victories the
anticipation Of speedy suppression OF the wicked re-
eeIOn, and Of restored supremacy 0isthe old nag,
would have a Modifying effect on the public mind Of
the North. Quite the contrary. While in Imagination
they see their bloody instruments cOnsummaing the
work Of destruction, burning, raVAging Plundering,
desOlAting, their dspraVed nature instantly Graves
participation in the brutal revery, aud the rage oil vim
dctiyenesl stimulates them 10 sxpend their beasty as
sOas on the nearest and most Plesi victims It Il the
sans old history over again The story that has
bsen repeated At various epOehs since the beginning oil
she war The only difference is, th.t while then the
madness seemed to pervade the whole people, it appears
nov TO be limited to the Black Republican party, or At
least 70 those who are Known as WArmen.
While then, the mob rushed frAntcally through the
srsets searching for fAneied Southern sympathizaIS
terrifying helpless women and turning the whole N1rth
into bedlamite pandemOnium; Low they turn With
ferOcious hatred oa the peace men," threaten de-
-. D,v
shout 'trsasOn' in the ears of political opponents. All
this looks we'll l. shows that there is growing Pelce
party at the North not party friendly to the S'u'h
this idea We have already tried to dsPel; bu! party
in whom the conviction strong that reunion u i'm
practicable and conquest and subjugAtOn imp0s iOle
Il shows also that this conviction has grown out OF the
military successes Of the South and that il declines
when We experience reverses. Aud, still furth'r, il
shows that the nanct Of vndicVe hatred against the
South, which anmAIss the people Of the North, ven
lures 70 nantes itself only when some reported vic
tory teammates their declining hOpss
Is Ia no wonder then that the Black Republican mob
hes gone wild over Grsn;s simulated victories, and
that the growing bodnSs5 Of the CJpperheAds iSed
% rude a shock a. seLd those trembling politicians
shiVerng and covering into their and eOrhers-
Rampant Yankeeism ran riot for few days; gave =

evidently thinks Stanton q liar, Grant humbUg, and

that il ought to so dONn. Chase holds to

Il has gone clear out Of reach.
Il will not be held down any mora. For long & ne

cation over Grants report progress in Virginia
cite only its lsVity. When the Army of the POomae
crossed the Rapidan gold sold 10 New York at ITO -
Five weeks Afterwards it reached 200. Clearly, gold
does not believe in Stanton or in Cant aud the hum

viii soon discover thA gOi il far sag lclous than
they are.
