The KiIDatriclx IRaid.l

Never, since men made war, was there q
more foolish attempt than this raid has
proved. 1t was contrary to military judg-
ment and contrary to common sense, to
suppose that the rebels had left their capital
undefended. Fhe expedition was started on
the theory that the rebels were fools who
did not know the ordinary business of SOL
diers. Upon no other theory than this. was
there any possible chapceof success. Two
young men, scarcely of age, with rash heads
and impulsive dispositions, are sentoff with
a large cavalry force to ride into Richmond.
OF course they failed. But on whom shall
the people charge the blood of the, slain?--
How many men are thus sacrificed from
week to week in fulfilling the absurd orders
and plans Of Mr.. Lincoln and his immediate
advisefsp The Florida expedition, the Kill
patrick expedition, the Sherman expedition,
have cost us many thousands of men, have
given US no returns-7have been disastrous
failures. Weneed military head at Wash
ington IL the war is ever to be brought to o.
close. The present aspect of our affairs
that the rebellion will not be
crushed this year. 1T has vitality enough
for years yet. Our foolish raids falling one
after another, give life and hope to the enc
my. They do no good to our cause, but vast
harm. The war still stretches away before
us into the distant future, aud under pres
ent management it is clearit would last for
fiveyears longer.

The Testimony Of Republicans.

The Boston Post thus cleverly epitomizes
the testimony of leading Republican author
titles, showing corruption and weakness on
the part of the Administration:
Mr.. Phillips says only five United States
Senators are in favor of Mr.. Lincoln's re-
election, and among those are not Messrs.
Sumner and Wilson. Mr.. Blair, on the floor
Of Congress, accuses the Secretary of the
Treasury of gross misdeeds-says the de-
>partment is rotten with corruption, and
that this is so palpable the friends of Mr..
Chase dare not call for investigations. Gen.
Fremont declares he has been badly treated
by the Administration, and pouts. The
Gratz Brown radicals smite the President
as Samson did the Phillstines, hip and
thigh, and often with the same weapon.-
Gen. Banks is derided by the Republicans
in Massachusetts! Senator Hale said in his
seat he thought the liberties of the country
were more in danger from the profligacy
that was practiced upon the treasury than
they were from the rebels in the field. The
Springfield Republican asks: % SIS lying
vice inherent in republican institutions, or
merely incidental to Mr.. Lincoln's Admin
istration?" Thaddeus Stevens says if the
Government go on expending money at the
present rate, the people will be involved in
one general bankruptcy and ruin. Thurlow
Weed writes to the Albany Erening Journal.
"Until the Administration thoroughly sits
and probes the iniquities of the New York
custom-house, the people will be justified
in inquiring whether their treasure and
blood shall continue to flow, by millions and
in rivers, while its own officials are playing
into the hands of the enemy" Senator
Pomeroy says that should Mr.. Lincoln be
reelected the affairs of the country will go
on from bad to worse in his hands. and the
war will languish until our public debt will
overwhelm us. Mr.. Boutwell, denounces
the Presidents plan of reconstruction;
Winter Davis charges the President with
acting without law, and Miss Dickinson
boxes the ears Of Mr.. Seward to the evident
delight ofa Republican multitude who hang
upon her words as the bee upon the flower.
The persons here named are all Republicans,
il not stall honorable men.n q ~ -.r., ~

INCIDENTS OF THE SPRING CAMPAIGN.
I. A sUCCrNCT SUMMING UP.

We find In a contemporary the following
summary of the important events which
have given notOriety to the spring campaign.
1T will, no doubt, prove interesting by so
compacting them together, that they can be
taken in at single glance. # '.a
Q If there were any Intelligence left among
Mr.. Lincoln's partisans, the ''mung" news
with which he tries to keep up their spirits,
would be daily and deadly insult to it. His
spring campaign has opened with these
brilliant exploits: .riI
/. Charleston is made secure against every
attempt by land or sea, and smashes up
without compunction, every expedition or
'lronclad that gets too near. w F5s
2. Farragut Is attacking Mobile out of
range
g. Gen. Thomas has retired from his sue
-ccssful reconnaissance having found the
enemy lin force at Tunnel IIill.' VI aaiN I
rnt4. Gems. Smith aiIl Grierson returned to
Memphis, having accomplished all their OBJ
jects, except the single one with which
|. they started. Gf#S NfH
5. Gen. Sherman is retreating, having also
done every thing but what he set out to do.
g. Mr.. Buffers great raid to release the
prisoners in Richmond, returned, having
really accomplished his only object, which
was, to figure for once in some other way
than as flogging women, or putting super
annuated clergymen to hard labor on the
highways. s.r..,,e ..,. d, .rs.t =
Z. Mr.. Hays attempt to get bogus cleo
toral vote from Florida, has ended in the
ruin of his expedition, with loss of one
man out of three. ''"
s. Genesal Fitzpatrick has rejoined his
commanding officer. lie did muchmischief
but did not accomplish the object Of his ex-
pedtion. -,-, -.,.- - ,...,---...
To counterbalance these trifling reverses,
three distinguished successes are to be re-
corded, viz: 'N'
Lone detachment of the grand army has
mobbed a Democratic newspaper in Ohio.
2. Another has. robbed a poor old Dutch
trader In Pennsylvania, who was under sus-
picion OF. being Knight of the fabulous
order of the Golden Circle.
3. A third has successfully attained its
collective" without any disaster by flood
or field-a considerable army having been
safely and gratuitously transported to New
Hampshire, where it is to engage in the
glorious and patriotic work of putting down
the people at the polls.

Z From the journal of Commerce

respectfully suggest to the radical pa
pers that they have forgotten their role.-
There is just now a remarkable silence on
the subject of the duty of the clergy. The
notion heretofore has been that it was the
duty of the clergy to pray for the success of
all the Presidents plans. Clergymen have
been driven ont of their parishes at the
point of the bayonet for neglecting this
prayer. The columns of radical papers
have been filled with diatribes against
clergymen who declined to offer up special
petitions for blessings,on the policy OF Mr..
Lincoln. Now is 1t not the duty of the
clergy to pray for the denomination of Mr..
Lincoln? Should they not be regarded as
copperheads and traitors who declined on
Sunday to lead the minds of their congrega-
tions in such q petition? And what ought
to be, the fate of a man who should leave
the church when the Clergyman offered it?
Just look at it. viii any OneIexplain, why
it is not exactly the same thing whether
you oppose the policy of Mr.. Lincoln last
year or his policy now? And why clergy
men should not be. deposed for refusing to
use the clerical office and ropes to help Mr..
Lincoln electioneer for denomination? We
submit the question also to those clergymen
who have been peculiarly rampant in the
political meetings which they have been
holding forsome years past on Sundays in
churches. .s9aau1
Let us honestly hope that the split in the
Administration party will do good among
the political clergy, and result in inducing
them to devote at least a few weeks TO the
true objects of their profession. Possibly
poor sinners may now hear the gospel. 1t
will hardly do to run Mr.. Lincoln, against
Mr.. Chase in churchina sermon or prayer.
A .copperhead would enjoy the fun, but a
loyal Lacquer would suddenly grow serious.
