SENSATIONAL REPORTS >

N0N the report of the subyersion of
civil law to that of the mob. and of n
battle between loyal men and traitors in
Arkansas. The Gazctte will simpIv dis
pose or Il by calling it a Radical lie i"
invented for the purpose of infiuencing
the Presidential campaign. But al
though this is a very simple way of dis.
posing of 1t, it is not altogether salts
factory or plausible one. OF what ben.
efit is il To the Telegraph Company to
burden its wires with Radical lies The
reports which we receive are those of
the Associated Press, in which Demo
cratic are equally Interested with Re-
publican papers. Every effort is made
TO have these reports fair and impartial
To the greatest possible extent. and any
deviation from this line of duty would
immediately cause trouble among the
members of the Press Association. and
change'in the administration of affairs
would be the consequence If false
statement should come over the wires
which did injustice to either party. a
correction would be sure 10 follow within
a day or two; and yet we see none of
these sensational reports" corrected.
On the contrary, the mail confirms the
statements of the telegraph, and our
States exchanges come 10 US filled with
the details, not only of those rebel out
RACES OF which the wires have brought
us first intelligence, but of others of a
little less atrociOus character, which are
marking with blood every day in the
calendar at the South. We learn more
over that every preparation seems to be
making for a second rebellion. John
Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, SAYS
that "the people of the South do not in
tend to submit to the permanent rule of
Congress result, as the Presidential cleo
tion may, and that they nave only sub
mitted To lis indignities and insults so
far, because they have been waiting for
the good sense and justice of the Amer
lean people to relieve them from it, and
restore them TO their civil rights in the
November elections" As proof that
the people OF the South do not confine
their hate of the Union to words, we
have evidence in our exchanges that a
general arlnlng of the rebels at the
South is now taking place. In proof of
this statement we have the assertion of
the notorious pirate, Semmes, who, not
long since, while at Washington, exult-
ed in the defiant temper of the Southern
people, saying that they were armed to
a man, and anxious that Congress should
send arms down there to the Union men
$50 that there might be an outbreak" F"
In Louisiana an old Confederate cavalry
regiment has, with remarkable consist
ency, reorganized itself as a Seymour
and Blair Club.
The Democracy of New Orleans, head
ed by General Hayes, of riot notOriety,
are well armed and thoroughly drilled,
and intend to carry Louisiana for Sey-
mour and Blair if, to use their own Ian
guage. they have to kill every niger
on the soil" Ex-Governor Morton, in
a recent speech at Indianapolis, declared
that the late Confederate soldiers are all
armed, and generally live together in
squads so that they would form an etfec
tive fighting force Immediately upon
call. During the session OF the late
Democratic National Convention at New
York, one Col. Marks, late of the rebel
army. addressed the Metropolitan Club,
and in the course of his remarks asserts
ed that .'the negro must be kept away
from the polls. The Democracy of the
North will not submit to the defeat OF
their candidates by the negroes. An
omen defiance of law was thus threat
ened. a defiance which h@s since become
real and which promises to culminate In
an omen declaration of hostilities. All
these reports, including that contained
in our columns to-day, may be very
sensational" so were those which were
flashed over the wires when the Pal-
,,etto flag Haunted treason in the face
of .he nation at Charleston, and rebel
shot were aimed at the life of the I nion-
rrbev were nevertheless true, and so are
those of to-day. And they have the
ssu,ss effect upon the nation as did those
others of '61. They arouse the Union
men 10 a greater activity, to greater
love for their country and 10 firmer
determination to preserve il. The Dem
ocracy see and feel this; they feel that
the incorporate acts of the Confederate
branch of the party is weakening them
daily. and hence it is that, through the
Charleston and Richmond papers and
other sources they counsel less distinct
avowal of principles by their speakers,
and hence il is that they stigmatize all
