All the world knows what a ridiculous failure he was, and what a udherahlo commander he made, while acting in the capacity of general-in chief: Su great was his incompeteney that President Lincoln removed hint from his position of general-in chief, and could never afterwards be prevailed up on toake hint any command whatever.

By a recent order of die War Department lie is ali- Higlied to the command of '' the dtrirt ment of Virginia, the Army of the Po tomac, and all that part of Niiitlf Caro- litia not occupied by General Sherman." This gives him precedence of Generals Meade and Ord, brave men arid mcrito rioas officers, who have stood the brunt of the war, so far as the Potomac army i+ ,concerned, and who certainly do not, deserve that this contempt should come upoit,jbem. Surely General Wade de serves something better at the4ands of the government he has served so long arid well than to be thus subjected to the orders, of an imbecile oflicerliiolnever fought a battle nor won a victory.' his said that General Halleck has been invested with plenary powers, and we suppose he a ill manage things.pretty much as he pleases in his department. It is a fortunate thing for the army of the Potomae that the fighting is about over, for with Lee to oppose them, under Halleck's leade:raliip they would meet with. a greater disgrace than overtook them on a previous olsion, never to be forgotten, when Halle sacrificed them, and than, like a coward, threw the blame of the whole disgraceful affair upon the shoulders of poor John Pope. This is blunder No. I for President Johnson ; and it is certainly a mark of great disrespect to the memory of Mr. Lincoln thus to place in high position so soon after his death, a man _whom hle had removel from power: and whose vanity, egotism, and imbecility so dis gusted him that he refused to extend to • him any of his confidence. hnston HaHeck Redivivus !

I Aloe,)poor country, is she to meet her threinaped doom 1 Four feline ago I would have given a thousand lives to see he r re main (as I have always known her) power- ful and unbroken. And even now I would hold my life an naught to see her what she wile. Oh ! my frionds;lf the fearful scenes of the last four years had ever been enacted, or if what has beeirhad been but a fright ful dream, from whibh we could now awake, with what overflowing he,arts could we bless our God and pray for his continued favor I How I loved the old flag Con never now be known. A faw years sines and the entire world could boast of none so pure and spot less. But I have of bite been seeing and hearing alter bloody deeds of whieh. she has been made the emblem, and would shudder to think how okrenged she had grown. Oh how I have longed to tied - her break from the mist of blood and death that circles round her folds, spoiling him beauty and tarnishing bet boner. But nos day Ify day she has been dragged deepet and deeper into cruelty sturopprettsion, till now (in my eyes)'her once brighreed sttipest look like bloody gashes on the &coot Rear m,. 4 look new upon my early admiration of her glories as a dream. My hire (as things stand to-day) is for the South alone. WIT do I deem it a dishonor in attempting to make for her a prisoner this man, to whom else owes so mach of misery. If sue eau attend me, Igo penniless at her side. They say PIM has fotthd that " last d toh " which'the North have Ito long derided, and been endeavoring to force her in, forgetting they are nor brothers, and that it impo atie to goad an enemy to outdoes*: Should I reach her in safety and fintl_it trite, I will promptly beg permission to trinnilth or die in that same "ditch" by her agfo..

" By thiir fruits ye shall know them," smith the proverb. :No honest man will pre tend that, the party which endorses any of the acts enumerated in the foregoing (men tions is the party 'of freedom, of popular rights, or of constitutiOnal liberty. The man of that pal ty is no feictul to free gov ernment alio will not detend tie rights of all and concede to others all the rights which he demands for himself. We Ask now, when and where has the Democratic party invaded the freedom of speech or of the press ? When has that party counseled or countenanced prescrip tion for opinion's sake, or attempted to vio late the freedom of diabolist boa? In what instance did that party attempt coercion, ins timidation, or bribery to racure a party success at an a lection ? • When did they ever claim an, Eight for themselves which they did not. cifilecile to every other citizen of every other party ? Does any one know pf a Democratic employer who 'feels hound by bit party obligations to compel his em ployees to join in party procesbioneand vote the party ticket or-discliarga them? Did I you evervheite of a Democratic office-holder being compelled by his party to presc,W to all his clerks and subordinates a party test-oath to support the party in whatever insecure or policy it might choose to adopt? Does any one know of an individual now acting with the Democratic party through fear or promise of a personal reward ? Is it not a notorious feet that all of the mer cenalies, .time-servers, and place-seekers who are willing to sell their liberties for a price, are already retained by the adminis tration party ? Take from that party its ability to buy and ita power to coerce. and no intelligent men would presume to claim for it n majority in over a half dozen States. The fact that in the late Presidential tow teat its leaders did not dare to leave the ver dict to the unbiased judgment of the people is conclusive evidence of their deliberate purpose to_overthgciw our free constitution and subvert the liberties of the people.
