A SENSIBLE ARTICLE.
[From the Washington Capita

we admit the following 10 Otr cot
umns with pleasure, for the writer
knows whereof he writes, aud we know
him to be one of the most gallant sol
diers of the war:
Some time ago, while Gen. RroNtOn
| Bragg was in st. Louis on n visit TO his
| relatives there, q Globe reporter inter
| viewed him in relation to the battle of
Chickamauga. In answer to enquiry
as to the force he had on that occasion,
Gen. Bragg stated that he went into
the fight at the head Of $4,000 men.
This statement seems TO have stirred
the bile Of an anonymous patriot il
Ohio, who writes to the Cincinnati
Commercial to say that he was tatlvU
| pfiSonerat Clfickaniauga, and that tfum
! observations he made when he was
| taken to the rear OF the COuieuIT2tN
I position, he sis satisfied that Bragg had
80, 600 men, ] am aware Of the ppcu-
liar effect 4 charge usually has of mag
| nifying the proportions of y charging
column III the eyes of the troops charg-
ed. When Picket and Anderson We're
| ''gliding up the slope ut Gettysburg, !
don't suppose there was Il battcryHNn
i'll any Of the four batteries that were
masscu in the Federal center, who
would not have sworn thHt every mIon
in the charging column was seven feet
six inches high, $ help him Goo, and
that there were forty Thousand men in
the two advancing divisions.
But tho imagination of an excited
artilleryman is not generality considered
valuable as Il source of historical truth.
And it viii not be considered It violent
assumption, | hope, if ii is suggested
that the frame of miuN of our Ohio
patriot who writes TO the Commercial,
was >llc!, when Ac was taken to the
rear II prisoner, that his imUgiD&. ION
instantly multiplied by three every
thing he saw i'll Confederate shape. \
case in point: When we crossed Mine
run ten years ago nCNt Tuesday, and
attacked Lee IN the Wilderness, our rC-
ports, official and journalistic, made the
Confederate strength all the way from
! lo,0o0 to 100, ,0oo, according to the trc-
pidatiou of the writer. Bat Ices oit-
cial statements, based on the ''mOrHing
rcports' of his scrgcants major, made
his force, on the first of May, O|,HUu
| men, and this included l'itZhuGh LCC'>
and Pierce NoIng'S commands of cav
airy.
1t is pretty late in the day for any
! fellow to mako his appearance with an
assertion 10 thc effect that the Federal
forces were .'outnuuihurCd" Hy a." CON-.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The Martinsburg Iadepeugent,
one of whose editors Ia Republic
can. predicts that il Mr.. Hagans
becomes the nominee for Congress
III opposition 10 Mr. Faulkner the
latter will beat him 1000 votes.
This may be an exaggerated esti-
mate as to the MAORI Y by which
Mr.. Faulkner can beat Mr. Ha-
gans, but "a miss is as good as a
mile in Il race, and whether the
majority he 1000 or 200 it is alike
fatal TO the Republicans and their
nominee. We presume that Mr..
Hagans has no ambition to lead
The party to defeat in the canvass
simply for the honor Of q renomi-
nation. He Of course knows
that such a result will initiate
against his chances hereafter
w neither responsible or
not for an adverse result he may
be held so by his future competi
tors Political parties are only too
prone to demand II scape goat
when defeated, and defeated can
didates naturally come in for that
unenviable distinction. AS things
look in the Second District
the chances are rather in
favor Of Mr.. FAulkner's election,
whoever may be the Republican
nominee. In our Judgment the
wise course would be for the Re-
publicans to make no nomination
at their convention on the 9th Of
September, at Cranberry Summit,
but let some Liberal Democrat or
Republican run independent. -
Wheeling IateligeRcer.
The Intelligencer is correct. If
the Republicans make a nomina-
ton it assures Mr.. Faulkner's
election beyond a doubt.

The business men of Cincinnati
have circulated and extensively
signed paper protesting against
the increase of irredeemable paper
currency, favoring a return to spe-
Gle payment, pledging the signers'
support for Congress to the nomi-
nee OF either party indorsing those
views, and failing in this, they
pledge to support third candi-
date put up by themselves This
is in direct opposition to the Dem
ocatic platform put forth al Co
lumbus on Tuesday, and is some
thing of rebuke to Hon. George
Ell. Pendletown from his neigh
bOrs.
We predicted some months
since that the old parties would
go to pieces on the currency ques-
tion, and the platforms put forth
by the recent State Conventions
of both parties show conclu-
sively The rock upon which they
are drifting. The currency ques-
ton will be the only disticnt issue
in the next Presidential campaign
and looks very much as if it would
be a sectional rather then a parti-
zan contest.

of the past two years, they have
in two Or three States intrusted
the Democracy with power. The
result ofthe experiment has beer
to deepen the conviction that it is a
party which neither forgets nor
learns, and to satisfy the people
that the best, the only
use to which it can be put, is as a
rod Of punishment, to keep the
other side honest on its good be-
havior. And so the country sits
with its elbows on its knees, be-
tween the managing politicians o
the two great parties. The object
of the managers is anly too plain
to use the people. The people have
come to understand it, and to see
that their only chance is to use the
politicians, instead Of being used
by them. Principles and policies
are in middle and a mess, and
there are no party lines except be-
tween the ms and the outs. The
people Will have TO choose in the
first place between men, applying
their own and not party tests, and
in the next place between parties,
SO as to keep a more even balance
between them, and neither one SO
strong that it can afford TO be care
less or dishonest.
As for these noisy committees,
perhaps it is not for us to advise;
but we take leave to suggest that
all the believing about past rec
ords and party associations, the
appeals to organize and swell the
columns, and all the worn out clap
trap of past politics. are very sill
iy waste of time and breath. Stop
talking and lead out your best and
ablest men. The people care moth
ing for your parties or your prom
ises. They wans honest govern
ment and common sense. They
have stopped reading promises
and are looking for men.-N. Y,

There is something queer in
Brigham Young's response to the
bill for divorce and alimony filed
byAnn Eliza Young, whose Sc.
cession from the mormon prophet
year ago caused something Of a
sensation. Brigham declares in
his defense, that Ann Eliza is
not ow and never was his loacful
wife, but that this distinguished
place is filled by Mary Ann An
gel, whom, we presume, is the or
ignal Mrs. Young. True, Brigh-
am says, the Church of the Latter
Day Saints, recognizes a plurality
of wives, and Ann Eliza was one
of these plurals, but this does not
constitute her lawful wife in the
eyes of the law, hence she has no
claim for divorce or alimony.
There is nothing like logic, and in
this matter Brigham brings logic
down to fine point.
