much better if We could hear nothing of the
Kaw Valley, nothing Of the Atchison, and no.
thing of the Leavenworth interests. We of
Northern Kansas are willing to say to the oeo-

to fair proportion of the public Improvements;
to the people of Atchison, that We do not desire
to deprive them of a railroad; and to the peo-

Now, for fear of unfairness in local matters,

Special to the Times:


Brigadier General Fitz Henry Warren
was to-day honorably acquitted of every one
of the malicious charges preferred against
him in regard to the organization Of his
cavalry regiments in Iowa.


The World says that yesterday the army
under Hooker prosecuted with energy the
movement thus begun. Troops were Cross
ing throughout the day near Port Royal,
twelve or thirteen miles below Fredericks-
burgh.


Port Royal will be reeollected as the
scene of the recent raid across the Kappa
hammock in pontoons by two Federal regi-
ments, who took the place by surprise on
the foggy morning, capturing large num-
Der of horses and a quantity of stores.


We are in possession of other and highly
important private information respecting
themovement now progressing, the publica-
tion of which we defer for various reasons,
that such publication might derange the
plans Of the General in command and ieop-
ardize the success Of an advance. The Sc
quel Of it, if it be what is now hoped, will
startle the entire country.

CONSERVATISM THE GREAT PRINCIPLE. When
the rebellion broke out the republicans carried
everything before them. The universal feeling
peryading the loyal States was the suppression


of the rebellion. In view Of their overwhslm-
ing success, this party began TO suppose tha,
they had 9 lease fQr oil time Of the loyal peo.
pie Of the North. They r5sortsd 70 the Extreme
measures Of the radical party. The result was
the conservative reaction Of 1852, which COM
pletely demolished the republican party. Then
the copperheads came up but, not learning
anything from experience, like the Bourbons Of
France, they also went on proposing measures
of the most extreme kind on the other side.
The result Of this was seen In Q small way In
the spring elections In Connecticut, New
Hampshire and Rhode Island, and ovsrwelm-
ingly in the elections Of the present week.
They have restored the republicans n their
strength once more. II Is TO be hoped that they
will now learn wisdom from these things, And re-
solve 70 carry on the war in future on the
Of conservatism. They must not
think that because they have been 90 success
full they can run back to radical measures;
for they should remember that for the Last
two years the election Of conservatives he's
been the principal element Of our strength.

Despite all the noise that has been maoe In
regard to "divided North, there s now =
most positive and decided unanimity Of sen'-
ment throughout the free States for v'goro"
prosecution of the war. Politicians may roar
and rant to the contrary; but there Is no to
spectacle party or portion Of the Northern
people tnat is not to- day agreed upon the ne
cessity and propriety Of the adoption Of such
measures as will carry the war ut once to its
only honorable end-the annihilati0n OF the
rebel armies Copperheads and niggerheads
are nowhere, and the people sustain entirely
the administration for the prosecution OF the
war, as the elections everywhere show. We do
not believe that in the history Of free govern
ments there ever was people more unani-
NOUS upon any point than the Northern people
now are upon this one.


Why, then, with such complete moral sup
port a. this, and with almost illimitable power
at its command, does not the administration put
the rebellion down, and end the war at once'
History Is full of examples of ample power
hold in reserve until too late for It to do what
Il might have done. Shall we add another to
these' Or shall we. now that the rebellion has
reached tho grand crisis Of Its existence-now
that in it, dnal fury it gathers its strength for
the great struggle in Tennessee-give it the
"not-to-be-repeated blows" Beyond all ques-
ton the country is for the latter course.


Lot the President then, adopt Immediately
all means that may be necessary for this. Let
h;c, ,an ,,,,ov tha Eoyorunrs nj tho States for
two hundred thousand men to serve for Six
months. Such q call would be responded to in
the same noble spirit in which the country has
responded to all other calls, and such body
of fresh men would accomplish all that the
country could desire. Every one Is weary
with the pitifnl way in which the war
is carried on, or rather drawn out, as if tue
struggle were to be ended by slow torture.
General Meade must 60 to the Rap dan one day,
and leave it on the next, because be has not
enough men to fight. Rosecrans must advance
until he meets the enemy, and then retire de-
tired Of this there is no necessity for it; and
now is the time to change it. Doubtless there
are already men enough in our armies to end
the war; but so many men are detached on gar
rson and guard duty on posts, lines Of railroad
and similar places, that our armies are greatly y
weakened by this means. Two hundred tbou-
sand six months men to relieve these old SOL
diers and let them be sent into the field would
strengthen our effective force at the present
time by fully two hundred thousand veteran
soldiers. Let the President make his call. The
men will come, and tho war may be ended be-
fore the winter is over.

a man wealthy-it is what he saves

more company than his parse can well
