The Soldiers Won't Sustain Them

General LRGGKT, one of the editors of the
GAINESVILLE Courier, has come out very de-
cidedly against the revolutionary doctrines
of Messrs. SUMNER, STEVENS Il Co. This Is
what he says of them:
II the war settled, forever, any one
thing, that thing was the impossibility of a
State, by Its own action, To withdraw from
the Government of the United States.
ONCE IN THE UNION, ALWAYS IN THE
UNION is the principle now inscribed upon
our compact with the blood of half mil
lion of our people. Yet a feU men cluinin0
10 belong 10 ute Uhios party, men who acted
heartily with the Union party during the
war, in sustaining the army and supporting
the Government, 9lOl0 take the position thai
the States, tohOse people ioeTe lately IN rebel
lion, are actually out Of The Union. and refuse
20 them representation in Congress. In main
tdining this position, Messrs. Sumner, SteUeas
&c Co., Dldy be assured they can aeDeT hdue the
support Of those Dho fought 10 maintain the
Uitt0R. ..t H.
ave have no desire TO see rebels occupy
ing seats in the United States Congress. II
we could have our way, no man who has
ever voluntarily been In arms against our
Government should ever hold an Office In
ii. Yet we can never consent to the doc
trine that any of the so-called Confederate
States are, or ever were, out Of the UniOn.'
OUR DEAD GIANTs.-The Washington
correspondent of religious contemporary,
after some interesting "reminiscences OF
CLAY, CALHOUN and WEBSTER, says;
Il sit here and look at the places which
once knew these three men, but now know
them no more, and j say, Oh! that they
were with us yet Whatever their errors
once, were they now living, believe that
In this crisis of our cOuntry's history, their
eounsels would be those of moderation,
wisdom and patriotism. Whatever their
differences In other days, had they been
spared, / am confident that after the ter
rible lessons of the last four years, they
would have buried all animOsities, and
with one heart and one mind have sought
10 quell the passions of the hour, and To
lay broadly and deeply the foundation of q
Union, harmony, liberty, prosperity, which
nothing could again disturb"

General Brisbin in u late speech about
West Pointers who Joined the rebels, thus
closes his remarks:
"After long struggle we have overcome
them in arms, but their guilt rises above
all others in rebellion, like the mountain
above the plain, aud their blood alone can
wipe out the enormity of their treason.
Unwept, implied by any, abhOrred by all,
let them be led forth speedily TO the scaf-
fold, and there suffer the penalty of the
highest crime known among men," ON.

the four years of war, just past there was
abundant opportunity for the most bloody
minded General 10 drink the blood of trail
tors. Did General Brisbin quaf anyY II
so, we did not hear of Il He Is a general
who Is very anxious TO Kill rebels, but he Is
in favor of having 1t done by the hangman.
This Is considerate on the part of Brisbin.
II Is the safest plan by which he can carry
on the war. It disposes of rebels and saves
