General Pope.

THE removal of General Pope from
the command of one of the Southern
Military Districts should have been
made long ago. In fact he should new
er have been appointed. His folly is
equal to his vanity and both are excess
i've. He made himself very ridicu-
lous during the war, and by his inca
pacity subjected the Union cause to the
most serious check it received. His
inglorious defeat by Lee and Jackson
brought us into more real danger than
even the disaster of the first battle of
Bull Run.
President Lincoln got of some grim,
contemptuous humor upon Pope's fool
ish conduct in Virginia, and very pro-
perly sent him to the Indian border
where he could not do much harm. But
Congressional reconstruction brought
him forward again into a conspicuous
position, and he has duly displayed
himself In the South during the past
year IN the business Of manufacturing
States. His military orders may be
classed among the "curiosities of liter
ature," and might well provoke con-
tempt If they were not potent for mis-
chief.
The public interests demand men of
sense as well as patriotism for the adj
ministration of the reconstruction laws
in the South. These laws are bad and
unwise and they must become intoler.
able when their administration is COM
mitted to such vain and foolish men as
General John Pope.

TO Our Readers.

WE have now fairly entered upon the
second volume of the COLUMBIAN,
and we can pause for moment and
look over the past and take heart for
the future. The paper has been splen-
did success. Established among other
things for the purpose of raising the
tone of the newspaper press, especially
in this County, it has maintained the
high character with which il started,
and has shamed into comparative de-
cency some of its contemporaries.
In the literary department it has
given more good and high toned read
Ing, than any two other local journals I.
and in both these respects it intends to
keep the lead. In taste and purity OF
tone and teaching, its columns, both
reading and advertising, will continue
free from every thing improper and
thus maintain its claim to be newspa-
per for the family and the parlor.
Earnest in its political convictions
and honest in its avowal of them it has
the very first contest through which
it has passed, swollen the Democratic
majority in this County to higher
figure than was ever before reached.
And this has been done. not by abuse
and vituperation, but by exposing the
designs of the radicals and arguments
against their policy. 1t is proposed to
continue that course whose good results
are already so apparant.
But the paper has been success in
other respects. Whereas we began with
one thousand names on our list, we
have now orer Serenteea hundred We
began with hand press, we now pub
iish on steam power press and it is
most gratifying to know that the peo-
pie will abundantly sustain good able,
pure and decent paper. We challenge
and defy competition in any matter,
and for the year 1868 we are bound if
possible to do still better.
Now is the time TO increase the circu-
lation of The COLUMBIAN. The fight
through which we have just gone is
but skirmish. The Presidential eiec-
ton is approaching. The life of the re-
public depends on our success. Every
lnan desiring the overthrow of radical
ismand negro equality, should subscribe
for and aid in the circulation of sound
and proper Democratic literature. In
no other way can the great battle be
won. Roll up the subscription list of
THE COLUMBIAN to ttoo thousand, and |
we think we can insure Democratic
majority of that much for the nominee
of our party for the Presidency.
Let our friends every where be active
and at work. Subscribe for the paper
and see that your neighbor sends his
name also; so shall we win glorious
victory, and rejoice together over our
political redemption.

Eighth of January.

THIS day, rendered immortal by the
victory of Gen, Jackson at New Orleans,
has always been celebrated by the DEM
ocracy, as day peculiarly their own.
In fact they have legitimate claims as
we'll to February 22nd and Fourth of
July. This year the day was celebrated
in Washington with great eclot, Presi-
dent johnson and other dignitaries of
the nation being present.
The Democrats of Ohio, Indiana,
Nebraska, and West Virginia appre-
priately selected this anniversary to
hold their State Conventions for the
nomination of State officers and Presi-

A NEW WAY TO PAY THE NATION
AL DEBT.-In late lecture in Chicago,
on the Arctic Regions, DR., Hayes made
the interesting statement that he had
seen an iceberg so large, that if it We're
brought to New York and sold by the
pound at market rates, the proceeds
would more than twice pay the nation
al debt. The Tribune thinks the doc
tor is no doubt reliable mathemati-
clan, and commends his discovery to
the notice of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. The Great Eastern might be char
tered, and sent to tow the icy treasure
into market, and Cooke would undoubt-
edly take the job Of converting it into
greenbacks, The project is certainly an
ice one.

"A Few straws.

THOSE credulous mortals who have
deluded themselves with the belief that
the Republican defeats at the elections
of October and November were due
solely to apathy in the Republican ranks
are respectfully recommended to pom
der the following facts: On Monday a
muuicipal election was held in Boston
in which the Democrats and Republic
ans contested for the Mayoralty, though
divided in their support of candidates
for members Of the City Council. Thd|
result in the latter case was the cleo
ton of a majority of the Republical
candidates, but, in the former, mark

WE have read the above work with
much interest, and can commend it as
containing an accurate and elaborate
description of the natural features of
the country and of social and political
life in the regions of the Equator. Mr..
Hassaurek has expended much labor
and care in collecting his materials, and
his personal sojourn in Ecuador made
him familiar with the country and peo-
pie. Besides, he endeavors to be faith
ful throughout in his work, and not to
sacrifice the truth TO pictorial effect. In
fact, the main criticism upon his per-
formance rs work of art, must be,
that in several places he depicts certain
unpleasant facts with too much plain
ness and fidelity; that he does not duly
subordinate them to matters Of more
importance or omit them altogether.
There is defect in the proportion of
parts, or an unnecessary promine nee
given to some repulsive particulars.
His style, generally, is cond ensed,
clear and vigorous; and within the
limits of volume of moderate size, he
has compressed a prodigious amount of
information. And in the arrange ment
of his materials he is successful. Upon
the whole we can say with clear mind,
that this book is one of genuine merit
that it is interesting throughout and
will convey to the reader a better idea
of nature and of human life in the Cen
trail Andes, than any other work ex-
tant. Many passages in 1t might be
quoted which would remind our read
ers of sketches, heretofore publs he'd in
THE COLUMBIAN, of scenery and travel
in Ecuador. Mr.. Hassaurek very well
describes Guayaquil, the main seaport
city Of the Republic; his journey in
land across the western cordillera and
northward to Quito; a subsequent jour-
ney to 1mbabura and Cayam bi; the
great mountains which he saw and the
towers and valleys he visited. Gigan-
tic ChimborazO; COtopaXi in eruption
Pichincha with her jagged SUBMITS and
monster crater; Antisana with her
double peak; the volcano Sangai, and
dozen other great mountains are made
to stand out upon thecanvass he paints.
We get from him some knowledge of
the plants and birds Of the country; of
the history of the people; of the struc-
ture and character of their government
and Of their primitive modes of agri-
culture. And he is copious in details
relating to the manners and customs
which prevail both in town and coun-
try. The peculiarities of character and
conduct observable among the various
classes of population are well drawn
and justly Disseminated we have not |
an essay merely, but picture to be
stored up among the treasures Of the |
memory and to be recalled at pleasure
in future times.
We sincerely hope Though we can
hardly eXpect that the author will be
rewarded for his labor by
m extensive sale Of his work, and we
shall gladly welcome an additional vol
nme from him (which he suggests he
may publish hereafter) upon Spanish
colonial civilization and the War for
Independence under Bolivar and his
in the countries of the
South.

The Republican caucus tonight was
not very harmonious. Eight members
stayed out, refusing to vote for Davis
for Speaker. Some over-sanguInc Demo-
Gratis think that this will lead to the
election ofa Democratic Speaker to-mor-
row, unless the matter is arranged to-
night. Considerable bad feeling is
manifested in the Republican ranks,
both outside and inside.

TIE first horse dinner in England
has been held. The beast was eighteen
years old and thirteen hands high, and
after being butchered was served up to
q select company in great variety Of
modes of cooking. 1t was pronounced
excellent food, fine in texture, lender
in quality and unimpeachable in flavor,
with such remarkable resemblance to
beef that it would be difficult to tell the
difference between the two. 1t was
further pronounced to be thoroughly
wholesome, nutritious and satisfying
which is more than can be said for some
other sorts of popular flesh. 1t can also
be procured at cheap price, which is
another great advantage in England,
the land Of dear meat. As to the moral
justice Of eating horse, one Of the guests
argued that If the horse Is really the
friend Of man, eating him seemed the
most innocent way of living upon ones
friends.
