God be praised! With full heart
withla thankfulness to God and President
Johnson for which We have % adequate
language I've call the attention OF the rea-
ders of the Times to our telegraph column
this morning. Our readers will see that
Edwin Ohio Creswell Ord, the most des-
picable and cowardly tyrant that ever dis.
araced the name of man, has lost his head
The poor old fool and coward has been re-
lieyed, and his successor is General Irwin
Med Gen. Mcdowell is at once a
soldier and q gentleman, and he differs
from Ord in this /: the miserable despot is
neither! To call him soldier is n burlesque

The harmless old creature goes to Cali
fornia. But before he goes the editor OF
the Times wishes to see him! We wilig

The same dispatch which announces the
doom Of Ord proclaims the displacement

God be praised! g
The same paper concludes a lengthy and
savage critisism Of some Of Gen. Ord's acts
| and policy as follows: hll'lttS f'A'
General Ord may succeed in his efforts to
ruin the people Of Mississippi.but the object
nearest his heart he can necer accomplish
He cannot degrade them! In the lowest
depths Of poverty and want to which he
may reduce them, they will still be men
He cannot denude them Of their manliDess
and III the hour Of their greatest sorrow
they will still despise and scorh him! Z
Weadvise our paltry despot to make MS
much hay as possible while the sun Of Rad
I icalism continues to shine upon him. We
advise him to "work while it is day, for the
might corneth when no man can work.
There is an hour of retribution for General
i Ord and other tyrants, and woe unto them
\ when that hour arrives. When a whole
people shall rise in their might md blast
and wither with their indignation the t.
rants and wrongdoers who mock at the cal
antilles of brave people, and strive by ths
most infernaland diabolical means to add
to the miseries Of those oppressed and
helpless human beings, they will call in yair
upon the rocks and mountains to STALL up
