FerOcIOus Cruelty.

The Sherman army captured cotton fac
tory in Georgia, and with it four hundred
white girls who worked in it, making tent
cloth The general caused these g!rls 10 be
loaded in wagons and hauled to Marietta, Ga,
whence they we're to be sent by rail to the
Ohio river, and then set free, oc in truer Ian
guaGs, turned loose. As strangers, unfriend
ed and destitute, their fate and state of degra-
detion is as su e and speedy as villains can
make it. But nothing can equal the master
villainy Of the ruthless order.
Such is the conduct OF our Government to
helpless white people If they had been run
away negroes, helped away by army power,
they might come to Cincinnati, where the
Government has purchased six acres of
ground and built spacious houses for them,
and issues army rations, under the care of q

icated officer, by having Captain Badger dis
niseed Now comes an editorial reeAniation
10 the Cincinnati Commercial tbst Captaiu
Badger has been tried in Dayton before the
Court of Common Pleas on q charge Of riot,
and acquitted; and moreover that the editor
has been furnished with notes Of the evidence,
which show that Oapiain Badger Vas not
drunk, aud thei he endeavored 70 lead the sol
ders away. m
II this explsnation Is ust and true, il makes
a remarkable case. If the verdict Of acc ut.
tal is n true verdict, on real trial, on the so
tual truth and the whole truth OF the case, il
makes tue original charge aud the connivsnce
at the continuance Of the charge, damning
disgrace 10 the town Of Dayton, only TO be
explained on the ground ola Republican de
sire to charge these mob ouirages on the
soldiers from the army--frst made drunk aud
then misled.
We are not ready to accept this acquittal
as an evidence OF innocence on toe purt Of
Captain Badger. The fact is notorious that
verdieis of acquittal have ceased to be tn eT-
idence OF innocence, rs sentences OF eUuvic-
tion BY military courts have ceased to be evi-
dence of guilt .s
II was stated at the time, both IN Dayton
papers and the Cincinnati Commercial, which
eirculates largely 10 Dayton. that Capt Badg.

boasting Of the act--that be was responsible

TO contradict them. Ia the ,bsence Of such
contradiction the public ct distance might
we'll think that Captain BaoRer was guilty

people Of Dayton have tamely connived at a
false charge against him, and we can be sat.

the benefit Of notice for one hundred and

Most ridiculous Rnd Com
temDttble Failure.

We published yesterday. from ST..
Louis paper, called the DemOeroi, but in
fact the most violent and scoundreily Of
Black Republican journals, the substance
Of long series Of calumnious charges
against the Democracy of the Northern
Stn,es generally, and specially against
Mr. VALLASpioHAM and other leaders of
the party. The design of such a publica-
tion at this time Is easily seen The pub
lie mind vas engtossed with the subject
OF the late peace negotiations. and it was
glowing aud intensiiying with indigna-
tion against ABRAHAM LiEcoLN, as well
for his rejection of the overtures Of the
Coniederatos, as for his distinct avowal
Of the Abolition purpose of the war.
Not only this. The military situation is
not satisfactory. GRANT and SHERMAN,
after wasting two magnificent armies, now
lie exhausted and well nigh helpless be-
fore Petersburg and Atlanta. Something
must be done to attract public attention
from topics whose consideration was con
sidercd dangerous TO the Administration.
And so this vile and miserable trash was
concocted and given to the public But
it totally and most contemptibly fails to
answer the intended purpose. The Re-
puhlicans at last have learned to reject the
lies of their leaders, and especially this
grestest of all lies. the assumed existence
Of such an order as the Knights Of the
Golden Circle. 1t is played out. But
suppose it all to be true Suppose ther'
is such an organic tion, Of the extent
charged, aud with the purposes assigned
what do the Republicans propose to dc
about it ?

President Lincoln

viii not permit the Couiederates to make Of.
bclal propositions for the restoration of the
old Union
President Lincoln requires of the Rich
mond authorities that which they cannot do,
TO abolish slavery, before he will treat with
them for peace. The States, not the Conied-
crate Government, have that question solely
IN their hands
President Lincoln has no more business 10
demand the abolition Of slavery than he
has to demand the burning of every dwell
log house ct the North and South The Con-
sututon of the United States leaves the sla-
very question in the hands ofthe States.
President Lincoln has officially declared
that be and Congress have no right to abolish
or meddle with slavery.
Congress, since Mr.. Lincoln's insugura.
ton, has resolved that this war was not
waged to interfere with any domestic insli-
tuition
President Lincoln now assumes that he is
the Executive government and that sla-
very shall be abolished before he will treat for

Lincoln and Peace.

The New York Ne,ps nclines to be-
lieve, that although the negotiations at
Niagara, closed at stage where Mr.. LIN
coin stands branded as a bloody fanatic,
there is yet possibility that these negotia-
tions are not finally concluded.
The Ncps argues that LINCOLN, unlike
his deluded followers throughout the coun-
try, is fully advised of the desperate state
of the military situation He knows that
unconditional surrender GRANT" is a
failure, and that Washington is in more
danger to-day of capture and sack than
Richmond and that Atlanta, if taken,
tomorrow, would bear little or no weight
in the final result OF this bloody conflict.
The .Nel0S thus concludes
"The failure Of the campaign, the break
down Of the currency, the mprActicabihty OF
the draft, the utter inadequaey Of volunteer
ing, are doubtless NOT lost on Mr. Lincoln
