THE situation of Gen. Merritt's COM
mand in Colorado is an interesting one
in military point of view. He is now
intrenched in a favorable position, with
at least thousand men under him, and
seven or eight hundred Utes in his
front, who are prepared to dispute his
advance to the Agency, and who com
mand the only pass through which he
can reach it. Reinforcements are arr
irving at Rawlins daily, and the route
from that station to the front is kept
open. But the peculiarities OF the
country, the almost inaccessible fast
nesses of the mountains, and the dis
lance from base Of supplies, lead us
to expect long and tedious campaign
before the refractory redskins are sub
iected.

This purports to be quotation OF the

inten1ad to convey u falsehood. What we
did say in this connection, substantially
WAS 'If there is a Greenbabker here who

This distortion is about on par with
the effort of John T. Hull to persuade ms

A WORD TO WIZ ON 1T MAY CON
OERN.

t. really seems that large number OF the
small-bored whippersnappers of the Green
hack Independent or soaptail order, have
suddenly taken 1t into their heads TO come
down ON The COMET. We have number
of threatening letters, and have received
numerous personal cautions to be on our
guard. 1t is passing strange that HE
COMET should be brought to this unhappy
pass. We call upon all our readers to bear
witness to the fact that this paper has
az,oays counseled peace and mild measures
We have suppressed quite number Oh
articles and communications bearing on inc
nresent canvass, because of their personality
and hardness, and because we were deter
mined not TO make our paper the medium
for stirring up bad blood. We have almost
upon some occasions, offended our pest
friends by what they regarded as too great
a soueamishnoss on this point But The
COMET earnestly desires to be OF service to
the people of Mississippi. not as party
organ, ready and obliged to defend every
thing the party does, but as conscientious
worker in the broad field of truly indie
pendent and manly journalism which has
for its primary object the material restora'
ton aud prosperity of the whole people
1t 80 happens that few men, scattered
over the State, have come to the conclusion
that they are the political Moseses of Mis-
sissippi at this juncture, and the time maj
come for them to move. THE COMET, pur
suing its honest purpose to serve the best
interests of the people, has shown the shall
lowness and 1nsncerity, and ridiculousity
of most of these pretensions, and 1T use'
the weapons best calculated to reach eacf
case. For this conscientious work, thef
are quite number of men, it seems, Wh
would strangle it. But for all that, we pro
pose to move on the line marked out.
It is an undeniable fact that this paper ha
been moro tolerant, and considerate AM
charitable towards all classes of partisan
than any other party newspaper in the State
1t has invariably advised the subordinate
of partyism to patriotism. 1t would seer
that it ought not to be singled out for ven
geance. But, perhaps, this very torbear
ance and conservatism has emboldened tn
bulldozers. They possibly imagine tina
THE COMET is so much inclined to moderf
ton and peace that it will not fight unde
any provocation, and it is all easy thing
crush it or get little cheap martial gloi
at its expense. We do not hold ourselvf
in the warlike attitude of defYing all cres
, ton, but we do presume to say that tn
paper cannot be silenced by mere threa
and menaces We have duty to ourselvt
and to this people to perform, and we hay
our own way of performing it. We Il
