Fiendishness.

We have had repeated instances, on
the part of the rebels, during the present
var, Of ferocity and fendishness only
rivaled by Nena Sahibs cut-throats on
the plains of India. The treatment OF
our prisoners at Andersonville and
Richmond; the murder in cold blood OF
prisoners captured at Fort Pillow, and
the sacking of Lawrence and massacre
Of its citizens, are deeds to excite the
admiration of Indian sayages, while they
FIJI the heart of humanity with loathing
and horror. But these atrocities did not
quite Ell to the overflow the cup of in
EQUITY the rebel authorities are prepar-
ing for themselves, and we have yet an
other manifestation Of their brutality in
the affair at Centralia, Missouri. The
train on the North Missouri road was
waylaid and captured by guerrillas. On
the train we're thirty-four soldiers, most
of4hen discharged veterans returning
nome Rom AtiduA@.# AucSe were tnAeA
out of the cars and murdered in ccld
blood, and their bodies horribly mu-
tilated The express agent at Centralia
was also murdered, and three citizens on
the train we're wounded and left to burn
up with the cars which were set on fire.
Where can historic parallel for such
fendishness be found in ell the annals
Of civilization7 And yet the white
rag politicians of our own State
would cooperate with such miscreants
and invite them to wage similar war
in our own community. The testimony
before the Dodd court martial proves the
correctness Of our assertion. The Presi-
dent Of the Mcclellan Club Of this city
himself, according to testimony, volun-
teers to put Government detectives :" out
Of the way" and otherwise co-operates
in the schemes to foment insurrection
and inaugurate bloodshed in our midst.
The testimony shows that the leaders oi
the reasonable order in this State are
acting in unison with the members Of
the same order in Missouri and Ken
lucky, who, there is every reason TO be
lieve, are the identical seoubdrels
engaged in waylaying and murder
ing our brave boys on their way home
after three years arduous and faithful
service in the army. Can our people
think Of these things without shnddering
with horror2 Is not a POLITICAL club
fairly represented by the individual Sc
lected as its President If it was a
patriotic organization, would il not select
patriot to preside over Is delibera-
tions2 If il hated rebellion and rebels,
would il place rebel symphthizers az il
headT
These are pertinent questions and
may be answered in the light Of the tes-
timony now being ELECTED before the
Dodd court martial

A Fact which the Mcclellan Journals
s1DO not Remember"

TIE Mcclellan journals make great
ado Abous the enormous losses Of Gen.
eral Grant during the present campaign
The National THteiiigeneer states them
at 6s, 200. But the official reports Of
General Mcclellan and others show that
be lost in the Peninsular campaign TO-
s35 men, 1886 more than Graht The
argument, then, that Grant ought to
haze taken the Peninsalar route, does
not appear justified oy the facts,
But, more than this, whereas McClel-
Ian lost more than 10000 men, and af-
ter all lost his campaign, and allowed
the enemy to gain such advantages over
him as gave the rebel troope a moral SUI
periority for the time over ours, Grant,
with smaller losses, has inflicted upon
Lee not only greater loss in men and
material, but has proved the superiority
Of our troops over the best army of the
enemy, and has thus acquired the moral
ascendency over his antsgonists.-N I.

Immense Meeting Of the People Of

Great Speech of Con. HarfaB-Intenss
Enthusiasm Taking into considers
ton the condition Of the weather. and
the state of the streets, the largest meet
ing ever assembled In Evansville, con
vened at the Washing ton House corner
Last Saturday evening, to hear General
John M Harlan, of Kentucky. Such a
scene never was presented before the
history Of political meetings Despite
the rain whicE poured down in torrents
during the day-despite the danpness
of the evening and the drilling rain
which fell almost during the whole of
the speaking-desplte the muddy con
dition of the streets, q crowd gathered
at the Washington House corner on
Saturday evening that would have filed
the Republican Government Wigwam TO
its utmost capacity and then left half
outside.
Our people, or many of them, had a
chance to witness thescrowd that was at
the Mcclellan meeting 1t is useless
for us to correct the falsehood OF the
Times. We will only say that the other
staten snts of the Times as to McCIsl-
lan's popularity and the many army off
GERS who are claimed to be supporting
him, have as little foundation in fact as
the above statement of the size of the
crowd at the Washington House cornsI
on Saturday evening, The whole
crowd could easily have been seated il
one corner of the Wigwam Ssh
