Indifference.

The want of progress 10 the cause OF Tenn
neranca in thi, State, does not arise from OPP
position. Few persons, ii any, directly OPP
nose the cause. Indeed as mere abstraction
everybody admits that Temperance is a bless
ing. and Intemperance curse. So far as the
theory of rumselliDg or rumdrinking Is con-
cerned, all opposition has been completely ST.
fenced. No one will venture upon discus.
sion in the affirmative of the proposition, that
it is either right or expedent to sell or use in
toxicating drinks. Whatever men of ability
may happen to believe on the subject, or what
ever their practice touching the use of intoxi-
eating liquors, they have too much regard for
their reputation as debaters, as well as Tor
their moral standing 10 the community, to en-
ter the public arena of debate. Such an az
tempt, they might reasonably appreheno'
would involve a total defeat in the discussion,
and serious loss in the pubic esuinaIion'
The difficulty therefore lies not here.
The lack of progress is owing to the indif-
ference of its professed friends. The enemies
of a moral cause, where once the theory is es-
tablished, seldom oppose 1t as theory. Alb
stract propositions have but little interest with
the masses. You may demonstrate to the
satisfaction Of all that the use of Intoxicating
drinks Is always pernicious, and you may re-
cord upon your statute books the most strin-
gent Maine law conceivable, and neither will
avail anything unless there be practical appIi-
cation. Truth is not dead form, but living
reality. There is no salvation from whateve,
evil in mere belief. The devils believe and
tremble.
But deliverauce comes of vigorous effort;
and it comes in no other way. Public senti
ment may be perfectly sound, and the Law
complete in all its parts, but unless there b.
vitality 10 the people on the subject of Tenn
pesance, a constant living up to its principles,
1t will be

The following dispatch is received at head
quarters 10 night from Capt. Hill:
Gen. Ewing, Adjutant General-At day
light our ouiposts at Ironton were attacked
aud forced back to within half mile of the
orts. Tue rebels made desperate effort to
get possession of Shephard's Mountain, and
succeeded in driving battalion OF the 14th

At the south. Gen. Capell commanded the
rebel dismounted cavalry on the slope of Pi-
lot Knob. The rebel troops thus disposed, a

ruo rebels came up in fine style to our
bitches when they went back to the Mountain
in decent haste leaving 1900 killed and
wounded on the field, among them Gen. Ca
! DELL, a Lieut. Colonel, two Captains, and two
Lieutenants. Our entire loss was 9 killed and

0lew it up. Price commanded in person.
Since the reception of the above, l learn
that Gen. Ewing after blowing up the maya
zine evacuated Pilot Knob and brought away
the entire command. and will reach Harrison's
station on the southwest branch r. r. to
night. There is much rejoicing throughout
the city, at the escape of Ewing and his gal
liant little army.

morning and brought his forces to Jefferson

massacre and call for the determination of all
rebels and sympathizers.
The organization of the citizens has so far
progressed that business will be resumed to-
morrow, but tine stores will be closed daily at
