spared, with no detriment to the public in
terests. There are seven Major Generals,
glittering in gold lace and stars, who have
recently been appointed to take charge Of
. few thousand troops in New York and
New England. These Major Generals get
! six or seven thousand dollars year, and
have also with them an expensive and nu-
merous staff in each instance. About the
only business Of them all is to drink, play
billiards and gallant the ladies. There is
no more necessity for these Generals in

The Union men Of Warrick county
give unmistakable evidence, of anima-
ton and courage. Though defeated
often, they gallantly renew the fight
They are determined, if possible, to res
cue their county from the control Of men
who have been in sympathy sith the re-
bellion during the whole war, and spared
no pains to annoy and impede the Gov
srnment in its efforts to suppress it.
Wisely concluding that the men who
contributed much toward crushing arm
ed treason in the field, will be best
adapted to defeat treason sympathizers
at home who lacked the courage to take
up arms against the Government, the
Union men Of Warrick have nominated
q ticket composed entirely Of soldiers
returned veterans The proceedings Of
their Convention appears iu another
place in this paper.
The BOonville Enquirer had much
to say in favor Of the soldiers, when 1t
Vas'trying to induce them to drive all
the negroes out of the county. We are
anxious to see whether it will speak SO
complimentary of soldiers when they
apply for office. We call the attention
Of returned soldiers To this matter. They
have been fattered and foHdled by ac-
tive Ccpperheads, since their return,
who,. while they we're absent, de-
nounced them in uuspariug terms, and
bitterly opposed appropriations for their
support and say, They were then
regarded as guilty Of meat heinous
crime, in warring upon Southern Demo.
Gratis, and placed themselves, in the
estimation of Copperheads, beyond the
pale of forgiveness. But the boys have
returned in triamph. With what smirks
and smiles are they received by their
former dsnunciatorsl Professions cost
nothing. Hypocrisy is sometimes made
to pay. Efrontery is not unfrsquently
g powerful element Of success. The
Coppsrhesds, in their dealings with re.
tnrned soldiers, use all these articles,
that they may, peradventure, win some.
But the Union men Of Warrick propose
putting these professions to the test
They say to the Copperheads, if you
lore the soldier you will vote for the sol.
dier. Here is ticket composed entirely
Of returned soldiers and excellent men.
Will you endorse in Will you vote for
these men2 The October election will
furnish the answers to these pertinent
inquiries. We venture the assertion
that the Warrick copperheads will moi
sustain the soldiers ticket. On the con.
trary, we firmly believe that the Boon
vile EHqEirer, and its clique, will do al
they can to defeat ii. We may be mis-
taken. We hope we are. Nothing woulC
afford us more qualification than the an
nouncement of such mistake. But VI
will wait and see.
