General Beauregards reputation will
not be improved by his letter to the Gov

Confederate government should then pro-

is that the proposed course would sooner
end the war by, among other influences
inspiring ''greater terror in the armed in

when he saw the emaciated condition OF
the returned Southern prisoners. he says

Without any disparagement to Gen. Conner
who was . gallant soldier and whom we believe to
be gentleman of ability and unquestioned in
tegrity, we may say that the "spontaneity" Of the
movement for his candidacy for the gubernatoral
nomination is somewhat damaged by the state
ment, which we have heard positively alleged. that
his name was agreed upon in a caucus of our del
egstion in Congress.-Rockiond Gazette.
We have the authority of three Repre-
sentatives of our delegation in Congress
and one of our Senators for saying that nc
mention was ever made of Gen. Conner
name as candidate for Governor in any
delegation meeting, and that no one OF
them was ever consulted directly or indi
rectly as to the expediency of nominating
him. We think that little story therefore
Is pretty well spoiled hy reference to thu

The signs are very general that the iio-
eral republicans will hereafter act in uni
con with the straight republican party. An
article appears conspicuously in the last
Calais Advertiser, which is no doubt from
the pen of a liberal, in which. after re-
viewing briefly the political field ne says :;
1.-The contest now will be between the
republican party redeemed and purified by
its recent reverses, and returned 10 its or
iginal principles of honest government ;
the democratic party still faithful to the
doctrines it has never forsaken, but only
abandoned for time. in order TO gam
power. 1t has gained power, and already
its adherence to its old principles is made
manifest despite the warnings OF its
shrewdest members, who see that by too
early display of the falsity OF their pre-
tended conversions they are in danger OF
losing what they have gained. That the
republicans who have given the democrats
the measure of power they now have, will
continue to act with them, is not prob
able. Their purpose was not to help the
democrats. but to purify the republican
party. That has been most effectually
done, and we doubt not that with good
candidates the republican party in the
next campaign will be earnestly sup
ported by most its members who have re-
Gently opposed it."
