and for the existing Constitution in its spirit letter
and purpose.
Of tie People and Govcrnment We are in the midst
Of bloody and protractel civil war Its duration

In the Florida nassacre, the lives OF
fifteen hundred brave men were sacrificed
by IINcoLS, Ia the vain effort to advance
his own re-election by securing the three
electoral votesfrom Florida, and amember-
ship IN Congress for his youthful private
secretary JoHN HAY. The Lincoln organs,
as If by the same official inspiration, dis
claim in concert their masters responsible
ty for that wretched military blunder and
fruitless slaughter. But the fact is, and the
Administration depials admit as much, that
the order for1the expedition went from
President LINCOLN to General GILMORE,
Without the knowledge Of the formers
military advisers. LINcoLNdid not consult
his authorized and most competent advisers.
He himself ordered the expedition. 1t was
in the main his planning, and its political
purpose Is too obvious to be called in ques-
| tion.
LINCOLN is also the responsible author of
the late KnPATMcK raid. In reference to
this raid the World says, pointedly:
| We are prepared to assert that it was
| planned by Mr.. Lincoln, Mr.. Kellogg, of the
Military committeeof the House, and Gen.
Fitzpatrick. The latter Is a gallant and
brave officer; but the dashing qualities
which he exhibits in the saddle are not
those Of sound Judgment and prudence In
council; Mr.. kellogg, to say the least of it,
y not known to the world as Carnot or a
Wellington; and as for Mr.. Lincoln, he is
the same man who, just before the crisis of
the peninsular campaign, which he had
crippled at the outset, sent Blenker's force
to Fremont, sent half Of McDowelrs forces
| flying across the country toward the Shen-
andoah, and withheld the rest from effect
i've cooperation with the main Army of
the Potomac; heis the same man who, after
! Grants successes, apologized TO him for the
almost accomplished blunders of his at
tempted interference in the Western cam
paigns; he is the same country lawyer who
writes to trained and able soldiers about
'my plan of campaign" the same military
meddler and blunderer everywhere and al
ways. To his Florida massacre, where fif-
teen hundred men were lost, the country
must add the Fitzpatrick raid, in which the
cavalry of the Army of the Potomac were
uselessly knockedup, and five hundred men
lost. sff pa ~ ;
This KILPATRIcK raid was undertaken
without the advice ofsome, and against the
advice OF others of LINcoLS's military adj
visers. The damage done by the bold raid
ers was trivial, and is already repaired.-7
LINCOLN cannot easily get the cavalry into
condition for use, or restore life to the dead
five hundred. g-

The report of Gro. A. BENEDICT, editor
Of the Cleveland Herald, who was appoint
ed an agent by Governor TOP to visit the
Ohio troops in General GILMoRE's depart
ment was submitted to Governor BRoUGH
yesterday. This highly. interesting docu-
ment covers two pages of foolscap, and con-
tains the valuable information that there
were five Ohio regiments in South Carolina
in January last, and that their moral, mill
tary and sanitary condition was then good
We presume that for this information the
State betrayed the expenses of the editor OF
the Cleveland Herald on a pleasant jaunt to
Charleston and back, during which he
seems to have employed his time cores
ponding with his paper. tits also probable
that liberal per dien, was paid him out OF
that enormous and mysterious contingent
fund which Governor ToD expended so
loosely and literally among his friends.-
The State of Ohio is a great old State, rich
and fat and fit for plucking, but her people
would be interested in knowing how many
of her loyal and patriotic citizens, like Mr..
Agent BENEDICT, have their hands in her
treasury, helping themselves to pay for such
reports" all for the benefit of our brave
soldiers.
