THE FAAATICS DIssATISFIED-It seems that
there is portion of the abolition party at the North
much dissatisfied with LincoIn's administration
They complain that he has not used proper exertion
TO put the negro equal footing with the white
man. This class of fanatics is headed by such men
as Wendell Phillips. Phillips made speech in N.
York recently in which he denounced Lincoln and
declared that he wanted reunion which acknow-
lodged the rights of rebels and Shareholders The
n. Y. Herald, in notice of hillips speech, says
so in spite of all that has been done i'll the pro-
secution of the war; Phillips declares 1.-The is
failure Thus too, from the extreme copperhead,
secession, pro-slavery side. and from the fanatical
from Wendell Phillips at the Cooper Institute, comes
the same cry-''the war is a failure" Lincoln is
failure. Mcclellan is failure, thing is fail
ure except the almighty negro and JEFF. Davis
We feel deeply grateful to the fanatics for not
pronouncing Jeff Davis aud cufy failure. They
have, doubt, been convinced against their will
EsCAPED.-On Monday last two citizens of Union
county were bringing five yankee prisoners to this
place whom they had arrested some where in Union
county, and when within miles of town the yam
KEGS made their escape by oyerpowerng the guard.
1t would be well for our country friends to keep
sharp lookout for escaped yankees and other dan
gerous characters.
