What Democrats Hiay Expect.

We publish the following specimen Of
vindictive rant, contained iii an article
published in the Republican last week in
order to let democrats know what is in
store for them in the future; provided,
such fellows az the writer Of that article
ever gain the ascendency over them
That Hingson, himself has the courage to
."go for the copperheads' III case the
going is attended with much risk to his
personal safety, we doubt; we always doubt
the courage Of Il man who is literally
spelling to get at" something, and We be-
lieve he lies, and SANDERS his comrades
when he says they are "aching to be at
home" to act as DULLES IN peacable com
munity, trampling under foot the law
which they have gone to the front to sus-
tain We think we know them better,
and believe that when the war is over they
will return to their homes a. law abiding
citizens, ana not as yiolators of law, as
this fellow Ilingson intimates. That there
may be few men in the army base enough
to do, or attempt to do, az he suggests
may &c true, but they are Gew in number,
and all good citizens are interested in
preserving law and order. Let such dew
IFS whelps as Hingson commence going
for" any particular class Of citizens, and 1t
would net be long before they would find
it a costly exercise But to the extract:
The Bourbon boys that are up are
we'll and hearty, aching to be at home, in
order to go for the copperheads, re
gardine their erring southern brethren as
far more honorable portion of communi-
ty. The boys are literally spelling to get
at them, This Regt is composed pr;nci-
paIly of Democrats, but deny any affinity
with the so called Democrats of the pres
ent day, who oppose our honest old leader,
TncIe Abe, in every measure he takes tor
the suppression of this cursed rebellion
We bows would be extremely happy to
hear of the promotion OF VI. 4. Q. p from
door keeper to wood sawyer in some re-
mote corner Of Gods creation not yet ex.

NEW YORK April ..
The 'iribune's Washington special says:
1T is understood here that Grants plan
was. that Sheridan should cut the South
Side railroad and reach over to the Dan
vile road. The armies Of the Potomac
and James were to push over towards the
left and turn Lees right flank, while the
line in front OF Petersburg was still to be
held, and If possible, advanced. Judg-
ing by the latest dispatches, The whole
plan seems to have been successful, inclu-
ding the cutting of the South Side rail
road, turning Lees ght, and carrying u
portion of the rebel works in front Peters
burg. Two lines Of policy only are be
lievcd open TO Lee-retrcat to Danville, Or
failing in this. to fight iii Johnston can
be hurrid up on the Weldon railroad TO
reinforce him. This is believed possible,

An Appeal.

By law passed OF the recent session
of our State Legislature, the County Com
missioners are authorized and required"
10 borrow money at six per cent. interest,
with which to relieve the wants OF soldier S
families. Inasmuch as there is as vet
no money ill the Treasury, subject to the
purpose contemplated by the law i'll ques-
ton, We hope our republican friends will
see the necessity of stepping forward at
once and supplying the needed funds. If,
as republicans in the Lee islature argued
and abolition newspapers insist, money is
such drag in the market. that the school
funds cannot be loaned out, they will ne
doubt embrace this chance to invest with
avidity, so that the needy families of sol
d;ers may be speedily relieved from thell
distresses by having their allowances com
mence at once There is no provision
III the law we believe, requiring any
body to lend the Commissioners money
although they are authorized and requir
ell TO 6orron it. Come up, gentlemen,
you who have little spare means, and
show your love for the brave boys in
blue" by furnishing the means necessary
to relieve the wants of their families al
home, while they are periling their lives al
the front

Drunken Votes.

MACK" the Washington correspond
ent Of the Commercial, in letter dated
the Sth Of March, says:
1T is "a positive fact, of which L have
personal knowledge, that the fate OF one
of the most important provisions of the
tax bill, in the last Congress, was decided
by drunken vote. On the first roll-call
the vote stood nineteen to twenty. The
minority defeated it by drumming up two
tinsv recruits from the Hole in the Wall
and telling them to vote with them, which
they did, without asking what was the
question, and apparently without caring
a fig how it was decided. If it had been
a question of peace or war it would have
oeen all the same. As it was it will In

Niger schools In Charleston

Scarcely had the 'rebeP' troops eyac-
uated Charleston, when the usual crew
that devote themselves to the demorali-
cation of darkeydom were on hand to open
schools for the ruin ofthese poor people
We might consider them simply as besot-
ted dupes to their absurd theories OF ne
grodom, were it not for the boundless ig-
norance, degradation and misery Of their
own kind in great northern citizens, which
SO sicken, disgust and dishcarten all true
friends of freedom and humanity. Twenty
thousand Of their sisters in this city alone,
so wronged, degraded and desecrated, that
nature in very pity denies them offspring
that is, are dead though alive, and this
pitiful and awful spectacle they pass by
unheeding, to do good to distant peo-
pie, among four millions of which there
was not a single prostitute ! OF the four
millions of so-called slaves in the South in
1850, there was not single prostitute,
thief, drunkard or pauper. In all Christ
endom and in all time never was there
witnessed such a spectacle, such dln,ost
utter absence of the vices, crimes and NOR
al and physical unclenliness that envelope
modern society elsewhere. But, turning
their backs Oh the hideous ulcers of their
own society-thcir own degraded brothers
and sisters in New York and Boston-the
horrible "reformers' of the day have gone
down among the once happy and virtuous
negroe, and, opening schools" among
them, prostitutes, thieves, drunkards and
paupers are now as plentiful in the
North. We repeat, among four millions
of so-called slaves, there was not one pros
titute, thief, drunkard or rauper in 1860,
and now there are thousands upon thou
sands of prostitutes, thieves and paupers
among these hapless people. What stu
pendous wrong inflicted on these once
happy and yirtuous negroes And to do
it, to reform or transform this simple
happy and virtuous people into prosti-
tutes, thieves and paupers. we have sacri-
feed half million of the lives of our
brothers, and loaded ourselves with four
thousand millions of debt.-N, y DAY

The Military situation.

l ne recent successes OF the Federal
armies promises the speedy downfall of
the military power of the rebellion. When
that is subdued it only remains for the
government to exercise towards the peO-
pie of the south wise and conciliatory
course, prompted alike by justice to the
masses of the southern people, and the
interest of the whole country, to gradually
wipe out the bitter feelings engendered by
the war, and again cement the two sections
of the country into common government
If the administration will act as BECOMES
victorious and magnanimOus people, the
time We believe is not far distant when
peace and prosperity will again be our
portion among the nations. But should a
contrary course be adopted-should the
spirit of revenge and retaliation be the
rue Of treatment applied to the people of
the rebellious states--it will take many
years to SO conciliate the people who have
been in arms against Us, as to dispense
with stand ne army of large numbers in
all the southern states.
Up TO the time of the presidential elcc-
ton the powers Of the government were
useo quite as much with a view 10 The re-
election OF Lincoln as to the suppression of
the rebellion, and the consequence was
the failure to accomplish any thing sub
stantial in the way of military success; but
since the election is past the administra-
ton is turning its attention more to the
/ suppression of the rebellion. 1t remains
/ to be seen whether at last Mr.. Lincoln
will cast off the baleful influences which
have environed him for the last four years
and strive to rise above the plane of win
dictiyc partisanship, to the dignity OF Z
statesman. We hope that such may be
the case, yet we must confess that thus
far his conduct furnishes but little ground
upon which to found such hope
