Arrest OfHon, e. Etherfdge,

The military arrest of the Hon. Emerson
Etheridge, candidate for Congress in Tenn.
essee, on the account of his political senti-
ments, is another of the lawless assumptions
OF despotic power to which the people have
become accustomed in the last four years
They used to be justified upon the plea
that it was war time, and that civil rights
were therefore suspended; but since peace
has come and all resistance in the South en-
tlrely ceased, we find them going on just the
same. Etherldge has been from the start one
of the strongest Union men in Tennessee and
was driven into exile on that account in 1861

The OLIVE BRANcH.-Thc heartless
leaders of the party in power swear that
the war shall DO continued until the
South is completely subjugated." 1t
gives them prominence and wealth, and
they care for nothing else. Truly says
the New York Evening Express, now that
We are gaining substantial military sue
cesses, one cannot help sigh that Mr..
Lincoln and his advisers cannot see that
now is the time to tender the olive branch
and win one Of those victories which
Peace hath, no less glorious than war
But we sigh, alas in vain-as even a
blind man must see now, that the exter-
mination and subjugation policy are to be
adhered to, in the four years to come, as
in the present, but (who does not know,
and feel Eow,) that something besides
mere military success is needed to bring
US reunion and Peace. The extermina'
ton policy will not only destroy the
South but must be ruinous to the North,
and the end must be military despOtism !
It 10 not 90 inviting picture, but I is .
true ere.

HANGS FIRE.-The removal Of Straton,
from the position Of State Librarian, hangs
fire, to the deep disgust and chagrin Of
the Connessites and the delight Of the old
liners. 1t was a nicely concocted scheme
to get rid Of an obnoxious long hair and
at the same time provide for veteran
short hair, but it was not skillfully man
aged. 1t was too good thing for Con
ness man Low to keep; he incautiously
boosted Of it, and the long hairs rallied to
the support Of Straton and loored Con,
ness, Redding, Low & Co. The cam.
paign of 1865 opens auspiciously for the
long hairs; they have won the first vic.
tory, and that against odds and the &C.
knowledged leaders Of the opposition fac
ton. They have done what it is not al
ways convenient to do, rewarded friend
and punished an enemy, and the prestige
of success rests with them, and that, in a
party composed largely of apostates, will
wonderfully strengthen their ranks. 1t
has done so already in this county-it has
opened the eyes of several aspiring gen.
tlemen, who have been keenly watching
for the strong side, and Straton's triumph
has dissipated their doubts. Suddenly,
almost contcmptuously, they have drop.
ped CONFESS coat-tail, to which they
have long chung, and ranged themselves
under the banner Of the long hairs. Many
more are preparing to desert tho sinking
ship Of the Ambitious little demagogue
Of Ell Dorado"

GENERAL HAxcocK's CoRPs.-AbOut

GENERAL HANcocK's CoRPs.-About
the LIST of last December, Gen. Hancock,
one of the best officers in the army, was
charged with the organization Of corps
Of 10000 men from the discharged vete-
rams. The inducements were remarkably
generous, and it was announced that the
corps would be filled in month-some
predicted in less time, in consequence
of the popularity Of the gallant young
commander and the great inducements Of
fered. Correspondents and telegraph OPP
:: :. -. =. &C.. - n Mt the corps was
filling up rapidly. From their represen.
tatons we were led TO believe it would be
ready to take the field in few weeks /;
but the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal thus despondingly alludes
to it:
"Some of the recruits Of Hancock's corps
credited to New England have already desert.
ed. At the present rate Of enlistng it will
take many months to fill up the corps"
This shows clearly enough that the war
is continued from mercenary motives and
that volunteering is almost at an end
The people desire peace, but the leaders
of the party in power, interested in fat
contracts and holding lucrative Offices,
know that peace would put an end to
their contracts and throw them out Of Of
fee, and they therefore denounce every
man as a traitor who advocates peace
In the first year Of the war, when it was
prosecuted ostcnsibly for the restoration
Of the Union, and not for the abolition o.
slavery and the benefit Of swindling con
tractors and Office. holders, Hancock s
corps would have been filled up in few
weeks since it has been diverted from
that purpose and made an Abolition cru
SADIE, it has become unpopular, and white
men are no longer willing to enter the
army for the purpose of freeing the slaves
Of the South and enriching q gang OIL

SENSIBLE The New York Times warns
its friends not to be over.ssnguine of the
results TO follow the occupation of Sayan-

the vast cotton fields Of Georgia thickly
sown with rich crops Of cereals the land
abounded in potatoes, corn, wheat, poul-
try and stock; there was no approach
even to scarcity. The whole rebel army
Of Virginia could easily be fed fro II North
Carolina alone" Notwithstanding this
positive evidence, from tic lips Of leading

repeated and SWALLOWED by the supporters
OF the Administration. 1t seems rs ii
they delighted to be humbuggcd. Every

ADMITTED FAcrs.-No intelligent man
in this broad land will undertake to deny
that had the Administration declined to
interfere in this election-had the people
Of the several States been left free to de.
eide. as the Constitution contemplates,
without dictation from Washington, Nc
Clellan would have been our next Presi-
dent. And we believe, in spite Of the
interference Of the Administration, he re-
ceived large majority of the legal votes
o. the "loyal" States of the Union. By
%. *, ~ $50 jD3;<,;.c:4.s..1 1aSaSS41;
Lincoln has been reelected, and the peo-
pie who suffered themselves TO be coerced
into such verdict by such means, are
deserving of all the calamities that such
a vote insures them. They knew, from
past experience, that Lincoln and the
party which nominated him, had no re.
gard for constitutional rights or obliga'
tions-he had suppressed the one and
violated the other-and that his policy
was such that instead of speedy peace and
re- union, with him we could expect moth
ing but continual war, grinding taxation,
merciless CONSUMPTION, and the annihila-
ton of State and individual rights. With
these things staring them in the face, they
have voted their approval, and cannot
complain. No man who voted for Lin
coin and war, can honorably refuse to
respond to the call for more men. If he
is not coward, be should shoulder his
lnusket, go to the front, and show that he
is not disposed to "rally round the flag"
except at safe distance from the battle
field! No man who voted to continue
the war for Abolition, has right to conf
plain Of ruinous taxation. No matter
how grievously the burdens fall, he has
no right to lift his voice in depreciation.
He voted for it with his eyes open. No
man who voted to continue the Admins
tration in power has right to ccnsure
the Government swindlers who arc amass.
ing fortunes at the expense of the coun-
try. He knew they would be retained
in office. If the master they have chosen

sole themselves with the reflection that
he got the power to Cypress them by

A HIGH OLD RourE.-The Unions constant
putting Of the Dutch Flat humbug doesn't
make any impression upon intelligent persons.
They appreciate the diSinterestedness of the
Unions terrible task. 1t must 60 hard with
even that mercenary institution 10 puff up a
humbug. The Carson City Post of the 5tb,
says: Travel BY way of the Dutch Flat route
Is virtually closed through fear of another ava
lancb, the descent of which is daily expected.
10 the immediate vicinity of the last it has been
found necessary to open new road in order
to avoid second disaster" This may be the
only feasible route for railroad, but in the
chaste and elegant language Of the Poet, we
don't see 1t In that light" Nor does any other
person, not interested in the swindle. 1t is
folly to talk about building arailroad over q
route which is threatened with numerous snow
slides Of half miles length.

ROTATION. There is pretty quarrel
growing up in this State between the 10y
al ms and outs. The followers Of Con-
ness enjoy all the Offices of the State and
many Of the Federal Government and the
old liners are resolved to have share of
the spoils. 1t is said to be their deter
mination oinsist upon the doctrine of ro-
taton in office-being determined to no.
tate the supporters Of Conness--ninth
hour men-out ofoiIicc. In other words,
they declare that those who have held

to another, different and more deserving
set Of men. From Low, CONFESS man,
they have nothing to expect. lie obeys,
With slavish subserviency, the orders Of
his master, as the disgraceful appoint
mcnt Of Felix O'Byrne, proves. There is
said to be quite fiuttering among the
present incumbents in view Of speedily
losing the fine fodder they have been en-
joying. The fight grows interesting and
if the old liners clean out the cormorants
it will be one of the best rebukes political
prostitutes ever received.
