CARTHAGE DELENDA EsT-Tbe elder Cato flashed
al his harangues by declaring that Carthage must be
destroyed. The Yankee papers are equally cla.Dorous
for the capture of Fort Fisher. The New York Times
asserts and insists that ii must be taker and Whining
ton Also even if forty thousand required fol-
the purpose. At all bazards it must be taken. 1t
seems to be the general demand Of all Yankeedom.
Speaking OF Yankeedom, it 10 remarkable the extent
to which New Eogand Influence and New England
men dominate over the whole people of the North
Once the men of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and the other Middle States udiated the idea of
being considered Yankees. Now the Yankees proper,
the men of New England, rule them all with rod of
iron. Chase born New Englander, occupies the

Lincolndom and Yankeedom are Synonymous TERMS
And it is the best New England iDuen ces that DOR
inmate but the worst. Good men and great men have
been bred there and have lived there, but they and
their teachings have bten swept away or are buried
under the rubbish of spur ous sentimenality fierce
fanatcism or gross sensuality. Under the impulse
communicated by these Influences expeditions are to be
sent, commandments to be poured armies are to be
hurled against Fort Fisher, against Wilmington,
against the whole South The edict has gone forth that
the South is to be destroyed.
When will the destroyers return again When Will

PEACE MOVEMENT.


Our last dispatch from Washington states that
Messrs Flancis P. Blair (senior) and his son Mont
gonery have gore to Richmond and that it is under
oCd that their errand is OF peace-or rhas We
should more accurately say to see whether any terml-
nation of our national struggle is attainab. We pre-
sumo their mission is not 10 terms official but 1t
absurd to preend-considerng who they are, and what
their personal relations to the Presdentthat 1t is
unauthorized.
While we consider Richmond about the least hope
full point in the Conederacy at which to seek accep
table peace and regret that the Messrs Blars bad not
proceeded offered to proceed, direct to Raleigh in
stead, and while we can scarcely encourage hopes oil
any Immediate pacifcation result o. this MISSION
we yet rejoice that it has departed and e confident
that its influences will be sal1tay and its ultimate
sequences beneficial. For the Southern people need
above all things, to be undeceived with regard to the
origin impulses aud purposes of the for the zion
They have been 30 long inces5any told that the North
is fighting for subjugation-for unrestricted dominion
for epolati0n devastation and rapiue-that thou
sands who should know great deal better actually
seem to believe il.
The visit OF the Messrs. Blairs to Richmond ana the
propositions which they will there (douoess) suOml'
to the Confederate cbiets, cannot be kept from the
knowledge of the South, aud cannot fail TO DC largely
influential in dsabusing the Southern mino: Ii II Snail
thence appear that the North wants NOBODY enslaVed
hut everybody liberated, nobody despoied but the
rights and earnings of every human being placed under
The protection of just and equal laws, then we say it
scarcely possible that the fierce magnty the vengefu
hate which have thus lar animated the rebel masses in
their upon their own country, retain their viz
uence unmodned.
And at all events, in this mission the civilized world
will even though Dixie should still oDstinaely
dage its own eyes, the evidence of spirit pervadiog
loyal people and their Government quite diff rem

The Distlilery Business.

We take pleasure in printing the following
testimonial to the practical value of Mr.
LoosE's Improvements in the distillery bust
ness, which have been fully tested in the cele-
brated distillery Of Mr.. BENzBERa. in this city,
under bis direction: s
TO DIsTILLERs-A TESTIMONIAL.
Mr.. L. Loose, the writer of articles on the
distillery business, published in the st. Paul
PIONEER and Minnesota Stats Z;etung, UNDER
took, according to an agreement, to arrange
my distillery SO as to mash after his system,
to use his Tactic acid yeast and run my distil-
lery already in operation for more than year.
The success of 1t has justified all my expecta-
tons, and It gives me great pleasure to recon-
mend Mr.. L. Loose to my business colleagues
particularly.
The value Of Mr.. Losses system of mashing
consists in its simplicity, h an excellent sac
charine- fauae1tati0n, In nearly 80 per ct. lar
ger yield Of whisky than ever produced and in
a very rich swill, MASKING now in the same
tubs 80 per cent more meal than after the old
system. The preference of Mr.. Losses Tactic.
acid-yeast lies Is well in its facility and simpli-
city Of manufac curing it and In its extraordin-
arypower.
Mr.. Loose wished me to give him written
acknowledgment, and Is at liberty to publish
it, should It serve his interest.

The Candidates Contrastea

The LIE Sueur Statesman, which was not
favorable to the nomination of Mr.. R1os.
on account of former differences of opinion.
has the candor to admit that, contrasted
with bis competitor, he stands far ahead
in every respect: Guo #.
In point of ability, to contrast Marshall with
Rice, is to contrast pigmy with giant.
Marshall may be better talker, but he fs not
man that will attract special attention either
by his Intelligence or personal appearance;
while Rice could not pass through o crowd,
however large, without being singled out as
man Of mark. It is not in his public speeches
that he viii make friends, but in social COR
versation, where sort of magnetic influence
1rresisnbly draws men nearer and nearer
TO him until he wins their esteem and con-
Hdence. Nature has indelibly stamped
upon bis face and head the marks Of greatness;
while SO far as ability Is concerned, Marshalls
can be found In every country neighborhood.
The administration Of Henry d. Rice, whether
carrying out Democratic or Republican poll
cies, would be readily distinguished for its in
dividuality-it would be the administration of
statesman. The administration OF VIM. 3.
Marshall would be one Of tame submission to
the ambitious elements Of his party-refecting
more the combined weakness Of former Re-
publican administrations than any of their
strength poor appendix TO the imbecile adj
ministration of Stephen Miller-from which
