prosperity of all the States both Northern rnd Southern

the of the American people, that after four years
of failure to restore the Union by the experiment
war, during which, under the pretense of military
necessity power higher than the Constitution the
Constitution itself has been disgrcgarded in every part

3. That the direct interference of the military al-

The Late War Bubble Burstinr.

The Late War Bubble BurStlng.
The late silly attempt to blow up the bubble
of war, and make the people believe, for the
one hundredth time, that the rebellion was
about crushed out, is thus alluded to by the N.
Y. Times, a Lincoln journal:
ISIS not every man witness that one month
ago the majority Of our people we're chilled,
benumbed, almost paralized with fear that
the war would never end? Does not every man
see that the majority are now half intoxicated
with the fancy that it will emf within three
months probably, and six months sure? That
is not frrnness of spirit. 1t is just tho oppo-
site. -.
awe have no disposition to undervalue our
recent successes. They are truly valuable; but
not whit more so than others which have oc.
cured, and which yet did not end the war;
no will say that what we have achieved at
Mobile is of more importance than that done at
New Orleans two years and a half ago? Or
that the capture Of Atlanta is Of more account
than the capture of Vicksburg a year and a
quarter ago? CIR that the occupation of the
Weldon Railroad has a greater consequence
than that of the Knoxville railroad nearly a
year ago? Yet each of these former achieve.
ments was followed by just such inordinate con.
fdence as we now see, that the rebellion had
received its mortal stroke. What if the forts
Of Mobile have been taken7 Mobile itself still
holds out. What if Atlanta has been evacua-
ted? Hoods army is still substantially un.
harmed, and yet knows how to fortify Itself
What if the Weldon railroad is in our hands?
The Danvlle road is not; and there is too
much reason to believe that the rebels are
building junction between the Weldon and
the Southside railroad, below our point Of oe-
cupation, is well founded.
"Our undue citation woald not be wortk writ
ing against if it ended in itself. But it does
not. 1t is almost sure to be followed by a cor
responding depression when the excessive ex-
pectations are not realized. The movement
of the public feeling from the beginning of this
war has been continual series of ebbinps aud
aowings of high tides of exuitation succeeded
by utter emptiness of spirits"

A TERRIBLE TORNADO Chicago pa
pers have accounts of terrible tornado which
occurred in the central part of Illinois on Fri
day, being most severe in Edgar and Coles
counties. Its approach was heralded by a
dense black cloud rising rapidly in the west,
and rushing with fearful velocity over the
prairie nearly due east, accompanied by npmer-
GUS discharges of electricity, which fairly 'ek
the earth ike an earthquake. It .struc6 the
Central railroad track at Nation, unroofing
and blowing down buildings, and carrying
away every movable thing in its path, but,
most fortunately and incomprehensibly, in
f!cting no serious injury upon any one. A
loaded freight train on the Illinois Central rail
road, going north, was lifted bodily and turned
over beside and across the track.-Some of
the cars were smashed to splinters, while 9th
ers were merely unroofed and the freight little
injured. One Car was carried half mile
Bales of cotton, hogsheads Of tobacco, barrels
of -four. and fragments Of the cars were strewn
over large extent on either side of the track
The clearing Of the ruins occupied the whole
night, and the trains were detained. Singu-
larry no one was hurt on this train which was
So completely demolished. At Paris the roofs
of houses, trees, and everything movable were
scattered in all INSTRUMENTATION Journal.

The Flag Of the Republic.


Below is the concluding portion Of a

young and able Charles w. Carrigan OF
that city who was defeated for Congress by
Republican Investigating Committee.

James V. gave to the people of Edin.
burg beautiful banner in token of their
loyal services. Around it the hottest recol.
lections clustered, and at its appearance the
Scots would instantly rally to do battle for
their country. In the woful fight of Flod
den that banner was to the Scots what the
plume of Murat was to the French, Where
the fray was blacklist where the dead
were thickest, up rose that banner, and its
Hastings inspired the hur: blest soldier. So
sacred was that banner, that when Ran
dolph Murray, the Captain of the CITY
band, bore it into Edinburg, spearless and
bloody, the people forget their unutterable
woe. The gift Of James was safe. The
banner we bear is more sacred than that of
Edinburg. 1t was given to the breeze by
Thomas Jefferson, and has gathered new
splendors from many Democratic Admins
trations. Never let it trail-uphold it and
cling TO it-cling to it as the boy Holland

WE are paying the penalty for having
elected Lincoln to the Presidency. A sec,
tional president brought a sectional war,
and the sectional policy of his adminstra
ton is perpetuating the war. Two mill
ions OF men and four thousand millions of
money, already given, were not enough to
sat'ate the fanaticis:a Of the reigaing party.
We must give more, and must continue 10

tsonal party rules. FOR rour years success
sively the army has been filled up with men
and the treasury gorged with funds. Ar
my and treasury are both exhausted, but
not square acre of territory in any state
in rebellion has yet been restored to the
Union. Nor will there be an acre restored
while Lincoln remains in power. 1t re.
quires more men this day to hold the ter
ritory already possessed by our gallant
soldiers under Lincoln's policy, than would
have been required in the first instance to
have restored all the southern states to
their allegiance. If Lincoln is re, elected,
it will require more men to enforce his
party platform upon the southern states
now held by us, than the whole number
hitherto sent into the field. TO vote for
Lincoln is to vote the entire population
Of the north into southern graves.-MH.
