The statement is daily made in all the
Republican papers that the southern re-
bellion has never been put down, but is to-
day in active operation. Voters in the
Republican party should take note Of this
statement, for it is very certain that if the
Republican party can not put down re-
bellion in twenty years it certainly is unit
to govern this great republic. That is self
evident. If there is rebellion in the south
ern states Hancock will put it down with
out ceremony. Let US have q party IN
power which can restore the Union in every
sense of the word.

Mr.. Celey, one of the members of Cen
eral Haskel's Salvation Army, deserted the
Army in Paducah and arrived here yester-
day, taking up his quarters in the Waverly
house. When he joined the band, he
placed forty dollars in the hands Of Mr..
Haskell at his (Haskells) solicitation, OBJ
tanning promise from him that the
money should be returned at given time.
But the promise was not kept, and although
Mr.. Celey repeatedly demanded his money,
It was not forthcoming and he finally felt
himself compelled to use threats in order to
obtain his own. He had seen enough to
Justify him in the belief that General Has
kel was not what he at first believed him
to be, and while in Paducah, became
thoroughly disguised with him. He con
cluded to leave Haskell and, by threaten
ing to expose HIM to the people OF that
burg, succeeded in getting fifteen dollars OF
his money. He reports that the "army" is
about to disband, and thus end the career
of General Haskell, as the champion savior
of souls and, at the same time, the creature
of adverse circumstances, if nothing worse
