by holding the officers of the army
under whose orders property is des-
troyed and lives sacrificed to a strict
accountability for their acts. In this
instance, a citizen was murdered by a
soldier acting under orders Of Gen.

The Jonesboro Adrertiser is a paper
among ten thousand papers and the one
altogether able. 1t shines with a re-
markable light 1t is particularly the
journal of Illinois. Whenever it
comes tramping around in our neigh.
borhood We get out Of its way. We
knew the consequences of arousing its
displeasure. and therefore did every
thing in our power to conciliate it. We
were, for time, remarkably success
full in our concilatory policy, but at
last falling under the Adrertiser's dis
pleasure we have been crushed. In
the last issue we find philippe against
Bowman and his apologist, The BULL
ErIN, which has discouraged us. 1t
opens thus
The Cairo Bulletin of last week informs
Us that the Democrats have nominated w.
Il. Bowman for Senator in this District
ana thal the hepuDiIcahs ha'v DV...;.-..a
George Merit of Mound City for .he Sem
ate. The Bulletin gravely informs its
| readers that Bowman is every way better
fitted for that office than il Mertz. We
should like to know by what rule the Bull
tin is governed in making up
his judgement as to the fitness of the two
men for that office. Now we are con-
strained to say of the Bulletins article
that it smells of falshood knowing, will.
ful ialshood to call it by no harsher term.
We plead guilty. 1t must be So
Our article, now that we have had our
attention called to it, does smell OF
falsehood knowing" and an article
which has the " falsehood knowing >
odor about it amt an article which
ought to have effect against even SC
weak brother as George Mertz.
But, to proceed. Mark how the Ad.
re,tiser wipes out Bowman
As for Mr.. Bowman he is what the girls
in ball room would call pretty man one
who could smile and bowling fawn around
them rs much as 20 say what n pity it i:
young ladies that / cannot marry YOU all, ,
then pressing his yellow kid gloves to
gether gently; bow himself out.
We know now that Mr.. Bowman
ought TO be ashamed of himself Oul
recollection of the judge is, that he ain
hurtbyany great amount of beauty. Blu
we give it up. The Advertiser sayt
Bowman is pretty man." and i
knows what beauty is. And more
Think Of it, voters pause before 20,
deposit your ballots beware before 20,
take dangerous man to your politica
breast. Bowman-alas what wicke
world is this lis pretty man, VIII

II But this is not all. Take notice
V the skill with which the Adrertis
