REBEL, RAIDS,

We do not perceive-that the article under
this head in the Cumberland Union of Sutur-
day last. calls for any particular notice at our
hands, With the exception Of an assertion in
the last paragraph but one. in these words {:
They. (he CiviliaD) have taken occasion
/" time after time to denounce and attempt to
" defame the character of almost every officer
{. who has been in command of this Depart
"msnt, and more especially the General in
" command at this Post"
OF course, every reader Of this Journal
knows that this charge is utterly untrue, and
absolutely without the slightest foundation in
any shape whatever. We confess ourselves
wholly at loss to imagine how the Union
could have permitted itself to become the me-
dunn of charge, the falsehood Of which was
so patent to every man in our community.
On this occasion, at least. it has INDUCED in
a rccklessncss Of statement in its endeavor to
screen officials from blame. in advance too. Of
any public expression of it; which has only
injured the cause it is SO eager, at the cost of
truth end justice, to subserve. We can as
sure the Union that its oficious prompttude,
is in no wise calculated to assuage the feelings
of humiliation and disgust, experienced by
every loyal man in our community. at the
disgraceful occurrences at New Creek and
Beverly. 1t ought not to be necessary for us
to inform it, that in war there can be no
'acorks Of snpererogation, as it seems to i"-
agine, and that one solitary successful per-
formancc of duty. cannot excuse thousand
miserable failures. The fate of Gen. Butler
is too recent proof of what we say 10 need
extended argument-for here we see the
memory of four years of invaluable service,
suddenly wiped out, by the error ola moment.
let not the Union provoke contrast between
such career as this, and one where four
years of failure have been illuwined by enc

that it is the aggressor in this dispute-a vol.
uutcer in cause where no one had challenged

thorities. We would far rather praise than
blame-but ours is a free press, and we should
be recrean. to every duty Of the journalist if
we failed to give expression to the universal
sentiment of this loyal community, at time
when its lives and property, it, homes and
hcarthstones, depend upon the fidelity and
ability of the military charged by our National
Government with their protection and de-

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

We don't know who wrote the following
about advertising whoever did it was very
sensible. The merchants and other business
men here and elsewhere, who advertise are
the ones who make the money. Some of our
business men advertise very literally. and We
notice that their places Of business are always
thronged with customers. We commend rhe
following to all. of whatever business or pro-
fession, who do not advertise:
You sec goods are like gals-they must 20
when they are in fashion and good looking,
or else yoke of oxen wouldn't draw them Of
afterward The msn that advertises most

different patches of goods within year from
Europe, and now he's nearly sold out again
How does he and his partner get rid OF 30
many goods? They advertise more than all

prove it. If you want to borrow money!
you want to lend money-if you want farm

If your horse, cow pig. colt, sheep or oxen 60

the chance of losing them altogether, having
to pay as much as they are worth in charge
for keeping.
If you are shoemaker, tailor. blacksmith,
WAGNER, or any kind of useful mechanic.
show the people that you are not ashamed of
being mechanic, by advertising. If you
keep hotel, make it known. When people
see man advertising they know he is bust
ness man. The world is full of folks who
want. Some want to sell, some want to buy;
and the only way to meet these wants, and
make money, is to advertise. Advertising is
like money-iffollowed up. Merchants think
nothing Of paying forty dollars for one sign,
with nothing but their names on it. Well
what do you think of having 5000 signs q
week in newspaper In it you show your
whole establishment to the country every
week.
Hyou are wise,
Just rub your eyes,

BEIIIGERENT RIGHTS,

The Union says, ave do not claim, that
" tona existence are right, but we do claim
" that if one side has the right to lay waste
- the country occupied by the other, the right
swill hold good for both" That is to say,
that one party has just as good right to do
these things as the other, and there is no diff
ference according to the eternal and immuta-
bic laws of Right, between that party engaged
in supporting and sustaining the government,
aud that in arms to overthrow it. We SO un-
dcrstood the Union last week, aud its e1pla-
nation confirms the view we then took of its
position. For our own part, We believe that
but one of these parties is in the right and
that the other is wholly in the orong. Tha,
the National Government in defending its ex-
istence, has full right under all laws. human
and divine. to put down the rebellion by ali
means calculated to deprive it of its resources;
and that the rebels on the other hand, only
deepen and intensity their original wrong and
outrage by such measures, against their right

instance Of refreshing impartiality between
loyal men and rebels. on the part Of the
Usion. For ourselves. we deeply regret that
occasion should ever have arisen in our once
happy country. for the waste and destruction
of private property At all, but we believe the
rebellion to BE- monstrous crime, against
every thing we hold dear, and We are glad to
see it punished, by every lawful means.
Such also, We think. are the sentiments Of
Gen Sherman. and by which he was gov
