Thb Time to Advertise, Now that
many business changes havo takon placo,
it is important that our morchants, deal

havo moved or mado other changes in

not, should let their old customers knew
that tho changes of April havo brought
no changes with them, and that their cus

"The suit which has been commenced

of the United States, when tho decision

to suspend tho ordinary process of law, in
times of public danger. If that tribunal
shall decide as there is littlo reason to
doubt it will that nn executive offieor has
no such authority unless it bo conferred
by an act of Congress, the way will bo
open lor a multitude ol similar suits.
Every officer who has caused arrests and
imprisonments of tho character alluded to
will be liable in damages for false impris-
onmcnt, and also to a penal indictment for
assault and battery, in as many separate
suits as ho may havo causod scparato ar
rests. Each caso will have to be tried on
its merits, inasmuch .13 the amount of
damages and tho severity of the penalty
must depend on tho amount of loss and
suffering, and on tho circumstances of
aggravation or extenuation peculiar to
each instanco of illegal incarceration.
While wo entertain no doubt that tho
arrests in question were unconstitutional,
wo believe that somo of those violations
of that Constitution wcro moro than jus
tifiable, that they wcro demanded by
high considerations of public duty. In
times of iuiniiucnt danger, a public officer
must some'times incur personal risk in or
der to promote tho public safety. Ho is
no patriot if ho will not consent to peril
his property or his life, or, what is often
dearer than both, his reputation and pop
ularity, if ho is clearly of opinion that tho
safety of the country requires tho sacri
fice. But in all such proceedings tho
majesty of tho law must not bo affronted
bya weak and false pretense that its pen
allies arc suspended and that it no longer
tn force. Tho transercssiiifr officers mujt
stand ready to suffer liko men, and not,
in a selfish desiro to screen themselves 1
from penalties, deprive innocence of its
protection and tho injury of their means I
of redress.

must be tried by au impartial jury of their
countrymen. If, iu particular cases, they
are able to show,iby competent evidence,
that the imprisonment was a wise measure
of precaution for tho publio safety, tho
jury will award to the plaintiff ouly nom
inal damages. If evert caso of illegal ar
rest aud detention should prove to bo of
this description, thoy will not suffer much
cither 'in property or reputation. But if
there bo cases whore, ou insufficient
grounds, they havo imprisoned innocent

ambition and insatiable greed for offico in
ducod him to oppoo tho Democratic nom
ineo for Speaker, and lend his assistance
in electing Republicans to the other offices
of the House. During tho entire session,
on nearly every political issue, his voto
and influonco were given to tho Republ'can
side, whilst upon the apportionment of
districts for members of Congress, ho even
violated tho plainest parliamentary rules,
and acted in tho most tyrannical manner,
in order to rush through tho House tho
"gerrymander" of tho Republican Senate.
Aud at last, when the Speaker's chair bo
carao too hot for him, ho roMgued the
gavel to tho leader of Republicans, Mr
Armstrong, so that the gag might be moro
effectually applied to tho Democratic mem
bers. Mr. Rowo has more tfian once re
oeived honor and emolument at tho hands
of tho Democratic party. Nay, he would
never havo been heard of outsido of the
villago of Grccnoastle, had not tho Demo
cratic party fondled him nudlif.ed him up.
And now, common people such as have
never studied political tactics under A, K.
McClure arc at a loss which to admire
the more, tho gratitude or tho consistency
of tho model Speaker. Well may the
Democracy exclaim :
"Hast thou not-spoken like thunder on
my side?

And dost thou now fall over to my foes ?

Corruption and Proplioaoy. The
Republican Senator from New Hampshire
(Mr. Hale,) in a speech delivered in tho
Senate of tho Uuited States, on tho 7tli
inst., said:
''I believe, and I declaro upon my re
sponsibility as a Senator of tho United
States, that tho liberties of tho country aro
in greater danger, to-day, from tho cor
ruptions and from tho profligaoy practised
in tho various Departments of this Gov
ernment, than it is from tho open enemy
iu tho field."
If a Democratic Senator had spoken in
languago liko thii, ho would havo been
donouncod as a "traitor'' by every Repub
lican paper in the country.

and found that his main army had retrea

teen huudrcd killed and thirty-five hnndrcd

number of prisouors captured by the Con
federates: He states, further, that tho
loss of artillery was great. The loss of
tho enemy iu killed and left on tho field
is stated to bo "greater than their own."
Tho report of General Sherman is also
appended, but it furnishes no additonal
information. It is stated in tho Washing

that the Committee on tho conduct of tho
War "aru about to inquire into tho causes
of tho lato surprise of our troops at Pitts

A force of 4,000 men, in five transports

Landing up the Tennessee River, to a
