RETURNING from a brief stop in the
country, we CHANGED to meet the 18th
regiment on its arrival at Concord, this
morning. We have never seen a more
distressing spectacle. There, in the scope
Of single glance, was a sad cpitome Of
the horrors of war. There were no
groaning wounded, to be sure, but half of
the still moving men of the regiment bore
marked traces Of the debiiitating wounds
Of disease. Nearly all of them were about
the color Of their knapsacks, all looked
haggard and weary, and many, as they
tDttered from the cars or reclined on the
piles Of baggage in the depot, presented
spectacles Of woe to which our people
have not been accustomed. When these
men are again invited to fight for negro
freedom in Louisiana, we are mistaken il
they don't give the spectators and con-
tractors chance to go.


Again, what refutation is the appear
ance Of our returned regiments to the ab.
clifton theory that cotton, sugar and rice
are TO be raised by white labor. We do
not believe that one Of these returned
soldiers would accept Of the best planta.
ton in Louisiana, with the niggers thrown
in,, as a permanent home. If God has
matured any plan by which such a region
may be made to contribute to the wealth
and happiness of the world, we advise Mr..
Lincoln not to interfere.

The Poor NEeRoEs-wHo ARE REsPONsIBLE!-
The New York Tribune is raising great outcyy
against the vindictive spirit Of persecution
which is manifested by certain classes Of
whites towards the negro race in the Northern
States upon the slightest provecation or pre-
text for the violence Of mob law. The quss-

doctrine very naturally innames the Unborn
prejudice Of the white race against the unfor
tunate black race upon the slightest provoca
ton; and hence our abolition organs. in theiI
efforts TO fuse the two races under the law o
equality only create an "irrspressible con


aict," at the expense Of the poor negroes.

BOLDNEss OF THE REBEL PRIvATEERs-AS-
OTHER FLEET OF CRUISERS NEEDED.-By our
news columns it will be seen that the pirate
bark Tacony is in close proximity to our east
ern coast, and is making sad havoc among our
poor fishermen, destroying no less than twelve
in one day.


The exigencies Of the case demand that the
Navy Department charter every available
vessel in this port and in Boston and send
them to sea to-day. There are large number
Of idle steamers in port coaled and ready for
sea- with the exception Of their armament,
which can be put on board in the course of
two or three hours.


The Atlantic. Baltic, Illinois, Empire City,
Mississippi, Fab Kee and Ariel are lying here,
and should be despatched by tonight in quest
of this troublesome little craft. She ought to
be captured before another forty-eight hours
eapse.


There is no reason that she could not be
taken if the Department pursue the right
course The officers at the Navy Yard will dc
their share, and We hope to record the fact
tomorrow that another improptu feet has left

THE YACHTS OFF SANDY HoOK-Fifteen or
sixteen yachts, under the direction of the Com
modore of the New York Yacht Club, rendez-
vous at Sandy Hook to-day, for the purpose of
feet maneuvring, trials Of speed, boat racing
and all sorts of aquatic sports and exercises
The yachts will remain in that vicinity for five
or six days, and the sports will be agreeably
diversified 1t is by no means improbable that
many of the yachts will engage in ocean races
or start off on short cruises along the coast to
Barnegst or Fire Island. The officers of foreign
armed vessels and of our own navy have been
invited to be present at the gathering. which
will undoubtedly be most brilliant one. v.


To say nothing of the recreation and amuse-
ment afforded by such rendezvous US this, the
members of the Yacht Club will find them
selves the gamers in practical seamanship.
The Seventh regiment went into camp
on Staten Island two or three years
ago, and the knowledge thus acquired
was Of great service when the regi-
ment was called upon to take the Held against
the rebels So our yachtsmea may be enabled
to turn their nautical skill to practical account
some day or other as privateersmen or naval
officers, and the more they can. now learn the
more efficient they will be in the future. In
deed, no one can say that one Of the rebel pri-
vateers now cruising of Sandy Hook may not
make its appearance in the height Of the enjoy
ment Of the present rendezvous. If so, we shall
| hear of some admirable man9uvriDg and splen-
did sailing. The yachts will show the nautical
world some new tacks and artful lodges and
gether unprecedented. The possibility Of such
an event will but add zest to the excitement Of
this salt water festival, however, and no yachts
man worthy Of the name will be deferred by
such consideration from keeping his appoint
/ ment at the rendezvous.

THE CONTEST AT PoRr HUpsoN.-Our latest
| reliable sdvices frou General Banks army
clearly show that the only thing that has pre-
OF men. Had he the available forces that he is
generally understood to lave, Port Hudson
would have been taken when the attack was
made upon it in the latter part 0f May.


Thus the imbecility of the War Department
at Washington has not only delayed the cap
ture of Port Hudson, but has postponed the
opening of the Mississippi and the final triumph
of our arms The laws passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress gave them ample power to
call into the field force that would enable
our generals to meet the rebels at every point
with superior force to that which could be
brought against them But the heads of tho
departments have been so busy with their in
trgues and President making that they have
literally done nothing to execute those laws
They could have secured ample means in one
months time to crush the rebellion had they
used one-tenth part of the energy displayed by
Governor Seymour in sending troops to
Pennsylvania. But in the case OF General
Banks we have long had the impression
that there was another game being played.
When Gen. Banks was Governor of Massachu-
setts conspiracy was started against him by
tho radicals in that State to get him out Of
the way. Among the leaders Of that
movement were the two men who now re.
Senate. They feared General Banks popularity
and his superior practical talents Hence the
necessity of putting him in the background
Circumstances connected with General Banks
campaign in the Shenandoah valley and other
events Of the war indicate that the War De.
partment has taken up that conspiracy. These,
with the attacks made upon General Banks by
the radical organs soon after he arrived at New
Orleans, give strength to the rumor that he
was sent there to be killed of politically.
Hence the failure to give him the support neces-
sary to cope with the rebels in his department.


The radicals have not been more sue
cessful in this attempt to ruin Banks
than they were with their Shenandoah
valley programme. General Banks rises higher
and higher in the public estimation every
time that they attempt to disgrace him.
Thanks to his military ability, notwithstand-
ing the War Department has failed to give
him the support necessary, he has so managed
his department that the capture of Port Hudson
is certain. 1t is only question of time. The
action of the War Department has merely caused
the sacrifice of many more valuable lives than
was necessary and postponed the day of
trsr ko will oil kho
greater glory when the place falls into his
hands, Our latest advices set down his sue
cess certain.

A New SECTIONAL WARFARE-
There is but little doubt that certain
tory democrats are preparing the pub
lie mind of the west for a separation
from the east. Men who have long
hoWled about sectionaliSm are now en-
gagged in arousing distrust and jealousy
between two sections of the country.
New England and Puritanlsm are the
objects Of their hate and denunciation.
They want to break Up the Union, and
then unite with the southern confede-
vacy; that is their object. This is ap-
parent because the whole drift of the
talk and writings of such tories as the
Chicago Times and their satellites, at
this time, consists Of abuse of New
England, and Of covert praise Of eff
Davis and his government.


There are thousands Of well-meaning
men who are drifting into treason by
following the advice Of their Democrat
ic leaders, and gradually poisoning their
minds with the secession doctrines, SO
boldly preached by democratic news

the part of this paper oil the subject.
AT that time material connected with

nccessarics OF life. We knew we could
stand it if others did. Since that pc
riod there has been a great change. -
Printers stock Of all kinds has advanc-

and is still advancing. We ask the
coming Legislature to look at this mat
ter candidly and fairly, and then de
eide whether or no 4 sum sufficient to
compensate the press of this State
should not be fixed upon. Give us a
living price, or drop tho matter entire
ly, and allow publishers to fix upon
terms to suit themselves. Either this
must be done or the present members
of the Legislature array themselves
against solid institution of the coun-
try.-Lu Crosse Democrat.


This very reduction to which the
Democrat alludes caused the demise
of several good papers in the State
1t was an outrageous transaction
smuggled through without the knowl-
edge Of half Of the members of the
Legislature. And now, with the enor-
NOUS advance of everything that per.
tains to the publishing business, there
are men in the present Legislature who
design to make an effort for still fur
ther reduction of the fees for advertis
ing. We have no idea that the mum
ber of this class is large. Such an at
tempt should be frowned down by 81
candid, fair-minded men.
