BoHENIAS.-" Bohemi0n,' one OF our popular
war correspondents, makes his appearance this
morning in the Dispatch, and will no doubt be
heartily received by our readers His letters
will be continued. "Sallust' and "Bohe-
mian" We're decidedly the best army CORES
dents of the war, and were both held III the
warmest regard by the army Of subscribers 10
the DiSp1tch.
The old relations Of this paper to the public
and 10 individuals are being restored with a
rapidity uneXampled in newspaper history.
Not day nor an hour passes that some most
grateful evidence of this is not brought 10 our
attention. In spite of the scarcity OF money,
our old subscribers will have the paper. Their
letters depicting the poverty OF the country are
distressing 10 read. We lament, as we look
them over, that we are not rich enough to
distribute the Dispatch 10 those unfortunate
and warm hearted old friends without charge.
But such good men are not 10 be given over 10
suffering and poverty. They yet will rise and
flourish beneath the shade OF their own Vine
and fix tree

THE PEOPLE AND THEIR LEADERS. What Is
true of every party is, that the people are gene
rally much better than their leaders. Inc
further l have searched, the more generally
have found that the more deserving class was
ever underneath, buried among the utterly
obscure Ihave also found that those brilliant,
powerful speakers who expressed The thoughts
of the MASSES are usually, but wrongfully,
considered as the sole actors. The fact Is, that
they rather received than communicate The
impulse. The chief actor Is the people. -.utcte-
