The Secession organ at Marysville says that
it is not the style Of Old England to take into
consideration the condition of her people when
she wants to fight any body, and mentions sew
eral instances where she has sailed in," re-
gardless Of consequences to her suffering people,
and among the other instances. alludes to her
late war with Russia, in which, it is now noto-
rious, she met with more mishaps made more
mistakes and blunders, by far, than would COW
er all the bad management OF our rebellion
campaign. 1t has become matter Of history
that the French took Sebastopol, and not the
English. The English were repulsed at the
Redan, which was allotted to them TO take,
while the French took the Malakoff and held
it; and when the British returned to the
Redan it was deserted by the Russians and, of
course, was entered without striking a blow.
And. again, we learn that about 500 of the
flower of the English cavalry were cut to pie>
ces by blundering generalship, SO nat Old
England came out of the Crimean war with
little glory, and bis Lionship's tail was down.


We all know how she Jared IN her mercan

but it certainly manilests very bad judgment

Again, the organ says, " England will not
urge war against the United States, if she
has any serious doubts about her ability to
pay us an old debt" Well, if she has no bet
ter luck in trying to wipe that old debt out,
than she had in contracting it, she had better
stop where she is, change her STYLE keep
cool, try to comfort and alleviate her suffering
people and mind her own business and, an
other view of her paying old debts, is, that she
never did, morally or physically, pay any she
ever contracted, aud brags about holding her

Indebtedness. May be the Express will say,
this all reads quite prettily:" but won't pre-
vent her from pitching in to US, while she has
so good a chance TO find us with our hands
pretty full at home. Such an event woald
tickle the Seceshers, and that is what we told
them last week, and, no doubt, that attracted
the organ to our article


We still think, and would advise. that Old
England ought to try and feed the Irish people
and keep them from starvation, TO pay her
honest debts, to observe a strict neutrality in
American affairs, TO hesitate before she seeks
further pretext to lay violent hands on peo-
pie who do an act warranted by the very law
she has fought to establish for over quarter
Of century, and if she will not do these things,
it is our deliberate opinion that she will come
out of the contest. as she did in the Crimean
war, boasting about Woterloo. That is her
Dragging stand point, and, we predict, will be
for time TO come.

THE New YEAR.-New Years Day was
one of the brightest and most genial of our
Winter months Every body wore bright faces
and greeted each other with a cordial Happy
New Yearr' Business was in a manner sus
pended after the middle of the day, and the
community went forth to enjoy the bright SUM-

gloomy spell of weather for month past


Every body smiled, and smiled again-pro-
duced by the general enjoyment of all around
the boys and girls, by their toys and trinkets
and the men and women, by their more staid
and substantial mode of enjoying the day, un-

in social satisfaction. As the day of the New
Year burst forth so bright and beautiful, so
may our beloved country come forth from the
clouds of contention that now enshtoud her

1t has been our practice, heretofore, to pub

at their regular meetings, for the information

the Board, that directly affect large portion
of our people.


Orders have been made, changing the town

many complaints of the Board not publishing
more than they do.


The law requires of the Supervisors to pub
lish the quarterly report of the County Treasu-
rer, by the way, as very important matter to
the people Of our county. But no such order
has ever been made by them. By referring to
page 7l5 Of Woods Digest, article 3444, it
will be seen that the law is imperative on this
subject and other items might be enumerated
in which the Board would enlighten our peo-
pie by sending orders TO papers of the county
and, by the way, the Board cannot complain
that all the papers in the county are Union in
their sentiments and PRINCIPLES, or that they
renilire or demand heavy and uDiust charues
for doing their work. One, at least, asks but
what is fair and just, without rafting"


We would say to the Board, that the people
have greater cause TO grumble from your not
publishing your dongs, than they would to the
small cost of doing it. Then, gentlemen, ad-
vertise-even if you are compelled TO do so in a
Secession paper-and thus fulfill the require

The prominent feature in the diplomatic

on this side to attribute this TO q misap-

In time of war, they who Intentionally
aid the enemy in their military operations,
are as properly subject to be dealt with hy
military law, as If taken in battle. Other.
wise. spies aud guidcs could not be arrested
by military authority. 1t is probable that
men can be found in the North who will
maintain that spies and all prisoners of
war, and rebels taken unconditionally. can
only be dealt with by indictment and trial
by jury in their own districts. And if
jeff Davis were taken and should be tried
by jury in the North, it is pro bable that in
twelve men at least one Judas could be
found who would hold oat against a vor-
dict Of guilty No reader OF Democratic
journal expects that. if one of their writers
should be on such jury. he would agree
in verdict of guilty.


1t is from this moral standpoint that all
the Democratic clamor about arbitrary Ar
rests starts. 1t makes no discrimination
between the arrest Of notorious traitors and
conspirators. and the mistaken arrests of
the innocent-if there are sany such. 1t
recognizes no distinction. In Democratic
morals it would be Just as arbitrary to ar
rest jeff Davis and Yancey. as to arrest
a Democratic Journalist. This lack of dis
elimination deprives their clamor of any
just weight. To them the most arbitrary
act is making war on the rebels. That is
the seat of their complaint. sIf


An example of the way the Democratic
leaders would have the thing managed, is
furnished by recent trial at Indianapolis.
A resident of Indiana was tried before the
U. S. District Court. for h,ving pioted
party of rebel guerrillas over from Ken
tucky to Newburg. Indiana, where they
plundered the L. S. Hospital, which, at
the time was occupied only by sick sol
diers, whom they parolled. Yet, in the
face of clear proof of the act. four of the
jury refused to convict him of guilt.


We have seen no ontcry in Democratic
journals at this escape of traitor who
went from loyal State into rebel dis
trict to inform rebel guerrillas tha. tho
hospital was defeRceless. and guided them
over to capture it. In fact this seems to
be the exact operation that they clamor for.
But this will hardly be regarded as the way
to carry on an earnest war against the re-
bellion. Persons like this have no rights
in the courts. Their crime is in making
war. and they should be dealt with by
military law. There may have been mis-
takes in these arrests. When we hear OF
an ascertained case we shall admit it; not
till then; but even if there have been it
was onty minor error. A greater one
was in not applying summary measures
