our original colonel, one in whom W. have
every confidence, and one who deserves the re-

with whom he has been associated.
We learn that the General was guided entirely
by the voice of the command: that he had no
preference of officers. Ii this be the case, we
would most respectfully ask that our colonel be
retained. We doubt not the capacity Of the
colonel commanding the 3D. consolidated resi-

NORTHERN PoLITICs.-Thc cauldron
of Northern politics begins already 10
seethe. 1t will soon be bubhling furiously
and almost supercede the war in exciting
the minds and passions of the people.
All the bad elements of mortified pride,
revenge, selfish greed, and ambition are
thrown into the contest and appear in
the different platforms. 1t will be hid
eous sight to the cool spectators from
sfar off, to watch the dissraceful contest
of parties, each vying with the other in
schemes of rapine, cruelty and plunder
upon an innocent people who desire only
to be lei alone. The followers of Fremont,
old abolition fiends with whom we have
been long since familiar, and of Lincoln,
new recruits to the doctrines and prac-
tices of he'll, already dance around the
cauidron, and throw in the poisoned in
gradients. The scene in Macbeth is typi
cal of this, and the conclusion may be
prophetic:

- All goes well. Grant has been
ba-Iod i'll two of his approaches to Rich
mond. They lave cost him 100, 900 men,
and he is where he might have started.
The defence has cost us but little. He
now tries third route. He is almost
sure to fail as signally in that He strug
giles desperately i'll a quagmire, and sinks
more hopelessly with every kick. He
strikes out wildly like a blinded pugilist
-venOmously like rattlesnake in Au-
gust. Lee is cool, firm and watchful
making every effort of his antagonist re-
coil terribly upon himself.
Sheridan has met with a total defeat
and rout. Morgan is loose in Kentucky,
carrying terror to the banks of the Ohio,
gathering their own conscripts and arms.
and keeping their reserves at home for
State defence.
Marmaduke is destroying their vessels
and closing the navigation of the Mis-
sissippi. Pagan on the South, and Shell
by on the North Of the Arkansas, keep
Steele's army within its intrenchments,
cut off it's communications, and render it
impotent.
Forrest is striking stunning blows in
Vest Tennessee, and cutting off rein
forcements from Sherman.
Sherman stands far away from his base,
"dragging lengthening chain" He
has d decimated army around him, and
between him and the goal of his hopes
stands Johnston with a.living wall of fire
All his labor has been for naught Nor
can be hope for better. Against this we
have suffered one reverse only-that in
Western Virginia. 1t is small, and not
ut vital point.
The work goes bravely on! Down!
DOWN. down! deeper and darker sink
the fortunes and prospects of our enemies
Their bitter political animosities divide

reading the Northern papers--to see all
this through their transparent lies. Their
financial troubles weaken them. Look

1t touches 2OOl In England Confeder-
ate credit is higher than theirs.

CAPT. EUGENE ELLIoTT.----Some of
our readers have doubtless heard rumors
prejudicial to the patriotisn of this gen
tleman, in connection with the occupa-
ton Of Camden by the Federals and the
capture of the steamer Homer 1t af-
fords us pleasure to be able to assure
them that these rumors arose from what,
20 say the least of it, was an entire mis-
apprehension of his conduct At Capt.
Elliott's own request, the matter has been
thoroughly investigated by Major Shaler,
the Inspector Gen. of Maj. Gen Price,
and Capt. Elliott fully exonerated from
anything in the least blameable.
The federals destroyed all Capt. Ell
iiott's property in sight. He refused to
take their oath of allegiance, and gave
our army the first information, when the
5ederals evacuated Camden. Capt. Ell
lliot has published card in the Camden
Herald upon the subject. Otherwise we
would not have felt at liberty to bring it
before the public.
