extol the abilities OF the rebel officers,
and laud the rebel generals as peerless
among peers in all that relates to military art
and science. They ara continually rejecting

There is ,po knowing to what lengths
their vindictive passions may lead them; for
when the idea of treason once enters a. bad
mans brain it il difficult task to harness or
direct it. II these mouthpieces and echoes Of
the Richmond traitorous oabal were compelled
to cease their incandiary appeals and their
lying and Aanderous attacks upon our brave
Union officers and soldiers, strong point would
be gained toward suppressing the aiders and
abettors, Of the rebellion who are living in our
midst. But there is time coming and IL can
not be too soon-when they will be properly
