A Tew Words.
The Dem. tf Sent, is or at least ought
to be familiar with that rule of the par-
Katnentary code which says, in effect, that,
while jou are allowed the utmost freedom
of criticism in relation to the principles of
your antagonist, and the dangerous ten
dencies and results apt to flow therefrom,
you are not at libcrt' to indulge in asper
eiOn of his motives, 01 engage in a bitter
personal attack. This is an eminently
round rule, and, if rightly observed, would
have the effect of tempering and keeping
within hounds much that would otherwise
be violent and abusive. Gentlemen al
ways accept it as the maxim of their de
portment; it were a pity blackguards
didn't, for then they would cease in a
measure to be such.
Two weeks ago we printed in these col
umns an article giving our estimate of the
principles governing the Dem. cfc Sent.,
and politicians of the Breckinridge per
suasion geuerally. In denouncing them
as venal and corrupt, we only stated our
true views, and gave a reflex of the minds
of loyal men Democrats as well as Re
publicans everywhere. We have since,
we are sorry to say, bad no occasion to
change our opinion in the premises.
In answer to the charges preferred
against it, what does the Dem. & Sent.
ray ? Does it give either facts or figures,
philosophy or logic, to controvert them ?
No. But here, forsooth, is its reply :
. That we are an "old abolitionist' an 4old
hypocrite," an "old animal," an "old dev
il incarnate," a "base old mountebank,"
an "old critter," an "old rhinoceros," a
"scabby wretch," an "old biped," a "mis
creant," etc , etc., for exercising our con
ceded privilege of pinning it and its
heretical pretensions to the wall. Bil
lingsgate is always a poor excuse for ar
gument, and of no account whatever when
waged against the inexorable logic of
acts. It is but teldoin pressed into the
eervice these latter doys ued only, we
may say, when no other horn cf a dilem
ma presents itself to view. Sud indeed,
then, must be the fix"'of;our neighbor,
when it is reduced to Hie necessity of, ta
king advantage of the ah-market vocab
ulary, and is content to abide under the
load ofv obloquy we have heaped around
ft With do palliation or protest whatever
bsr than a string of stale, worn out, and
CLV
more disgusting than otherwise exple
tives. Alas 1
We would be perfectly justifiable, in
view of the signal departure of the Dem.
& Smt. from the parliamentary rule es
tablished as the criterion for controversy,
I to return blow for blow. We would not
be blamed were we to say that the author
ol the billingsgate in question (iiot the
editor of the Don. et Sent., by the way,
but "another man") is a poor, contemp
tible pettifogger; a man whose bread and
butter has been vouchsafed unto him from
time almost immemorial by reason of his
affiliation with the ruling party in this
county; a man who, above many others,
should be a true friend of the Union that
pampers and protects him ; a man who is
not, perchance, subjected to "alternate
phases of nigger on the brain," but is
evidently afiiicted with an undue propor
tion of bad whisky bearing down on the
same locality ; and a man upon whom, to
quote from his thrice told tale, the "full
effulgence of the lunar buminary" hath an
extremely baleful effect. But we are not
disposed, just at present, to invoke the
lex talionis. At some future period we
may be induced to take au inside view of
the Dem.tSc Sent, establishment, when the
result of our observation will be duly
spread before our readers. The names of
its stockholders, of all and singular its
editors, and of its different "blowers and
strikers," together with brief political
biographies of the same, would furnish
ample material for a series of highly in
teresting sketches. In which case, the
worthies aforesaid might possibly find us
reasonably well "posted," and come to the
conclusion that they have been Barker
ing up the wrong tree of late.
The cause of which the hysterics of the
Dem. & Sent, is the effect was simply that
we stated that that ancient institution and
its adherents were not so patriotic nor so
waimly interested in behalf of the Union
as they might be. That, besides being
lukewarm, their sympathies leaned to the
side of the South. We reiterate the
charge. If it were not so, where, let us
ask, is their enthusiasm in the cause of
the war that enthusiasm which charac
terizes all true patriots? Where their
support and moral assistance of the con
stituted authorities, who, in the name of
the People, are waging that war ? Where
their denunciation of the unholy efforts
of Jeff. Davis & Co. to compass our
ruin? Keho answers noicliere! In lieu
thereof, they quibble and prate, and waste
their time iu denouncing the every act of
the Administration looking toward the
crushing out of the Rebellion as "uncon
stitutional," and as calculated to "enslave
the liberty of the press and the privileges
of the poor man." They don't desire to
see their "poor misguided brethren of the
South" hurt especially if a compromise,
be it to us dishonorable or otherwise, can
be effected to patch up the difficulty, and
secure their votes in the future to the
great Loco-Foco party. Moreover, rather
than have a peace conquered and the
Union saved under a Republican admin
istration, they would gladly "see the whole
war go by default, and the fair fabric of
our liberties shattered from turret to
foundation-stone
"A broken gem its inborn light
Scattered, ne'er to re-unite."
The Dem. & Sent, has no sympathy or
friendship to express for our cause, and
nothing but honeyed words for the Trai
tors. . "lie that is not for us is agaaist
us."
We here say, as we have said before,
that the Dem. tfc Sent, is the exponent of
the principles of a purcly.BnucKiXRiDGE
clique. Its owners and editors yet follow
in the political footsteps of that illustri
ous Traitor and Great Unhung, and swear
by his name as the JMusselmau-swears by
the beard of the Prophet. They Conscien
tiously live trp to the platform of princi
ciples governing his past and present
career, vile and infernal though it may
be, and is, and patriotism and self respect
are alike impotent to swerve them a hair's
breadth therefrom. Like their prototype,
they" oppose every official act of the Ad
ministiation on the plea of "unconstitu
tionality;" like hiin, they asssaii the
Emancipation Proclamation ; like him,
they veto confiscation; like him, they
denouiice the war as an Abolition crusade
against the lives and homes of the dear
South, and as tuch to be condemned.
And like him, they shape their course
accordingly.
The Dtvi. t Smt., we are happy in
saying, aud we waut everybody to know
aud remember the fact, represents the
feelings and convictions of but a mere
traction of the Democratic party of this
county. Outside of a small circle of
Breckinridge brawlers, its otme. is
universally condemned and its teachings
repudiated. The truth of this assertion
must be patent to all who may have given
the matter the slightest consideration.
Its "secessionism," and traitorous truck
ling, and bolstering up of the waning
fortunes of the enemy, are town talk, and
many be the anathemas hurled at its
head for its departure from the faith of its
fathers. Ask any honest, intelligent
Democrat, and our word for it he will give
you his estimate of the sheet, as above,
without the least mental reservation.
The fact is, the "bone and tioew" of
the Democratic organization appreciate too
highly aud value too keenly the blessings
resulting from the untrammelcd workings
of our free institutions to allow the gov
ernment to founder high and dry on the
rocks of rebellion. This alone would
cause them to be loyal men ; but besides,
they are possessed of au innate loathing
against the very thought offending "the
fuppliant hinges of the knee" at the be
hests of Traitors, be they that rag-tag-and-bob-tail
of humanity known as "the chiv
alry," or their silent partners in the firm
the Northern doughfaces.
When the Dem. & Sent, speaks for the
Democracy of this county, therefore, read
er, remember that it docs so without au
thority. The principles it promulgates
are the principles entertained by a few
Buixkin ridge fossils only, who by hook
or crook have obtained possession of an
organ through which to give the world
the benefit (!) of the phantasies of their
diseased imaginations, the same being
repudiated in toto by the honest loyal
masses. It is a paper without a party, a
preacher without a congregation, a lawyer
without a brief. Let it be so regarded.
They say that when a prophet loses
caste with his own fellows, he journeys
elsewhere in search of the article. Our
neighbor, which used to be regarded as a
perfect war-horse in the Loco-Foco party,
has certainly allowed the prcstiye of its
ancient name and fame to depart. It is
now pretty generally considered to be a
very broken reed indeed a ship without
a compass a bucket with the bottom
knocked out a faded flower a relic
a poor insignificant thinj, without specu
lation or enterprise in its composition.
As it is by r.o means likely that it will
ever regain its former splendor in our
midst, we would tenderly suggest that it
take its departure hence forthwith. Go !
No tears will be shed. The serpent is
welcome to evacuate Eden. The eradica
tion of plague-spots is always in order.
Nuisances of right should be abated. Go !
and our prayers will waft you further
and further on your way.
In the meantime, fid of our early
years, O ! Dem. d? Sent., instead of ma
ligning and slandering your betters, turn
your attention for a moment aTittle closer
home. Be convinced that the People
don't like Traitors, whether of the decp
blpek, cerulean blue or whitewashed ge
nus, and cannot be prevailed upon to turn
a listening ear to their diabolical distor
tions. They hate cant and hypocrisy,
found in whatsoever form, and set their
seal of condemnation on narrow-mindedness
as applied to the agitation of our
present National difficulties. They are
affected not at all pleasantly by the dodge
of carrying water on both shoulders. The
partisan, in their estimation, should be
sunk for the nonce in the patriot. They
love their country.
In many of these particulars, neighbor,
you fall far short of conforming with their
oft-expressed views.
Look into the matter, soberly and calm
ly, and then, if some latent emotion of
self-respect aud respect for others still
illumines the nooks aud crannies of your
ossified heart, you will be sure to come
out of your exceeding wickedness into the
light.
Rational Pittances,
The leading article in the Circular of
Messrs. Samuel Hallett&Co., forthesteara
cr, Oct. 29, 18G2, is on the National
Finances. It contains facts of great im
portance at this crisis, and the figures can
be relied upon as correct :
In anticipation of the anual report of
the Treasury soon to be made, we are
enabled to lay before our readers, approx
imately, the condition of the national
finances up to near the close of the pres
ent month. .We may not give the exact
figures in every case, but our statement
will be found to be very nearly accurate.
The public debt of the . United States
maybe divided into three chisses that
contracted prior to the loan of 250,000,
000, granted in July, 18G1 : the loan of
that date, and those authorized -by Con
gress at its last, session.
Tho amount of debts of the first class
will, probably, reach about $118,000,000.
Of the second class, the 8250,000,000
loan, 150,000,000 is made up of the
7 3-10ths, of which about 6132,000,000
have been issued ; $50JD00,000 G cents
due in 1881, aud 850,000,000 of the de
mand notes, which weTe made receivable
for dues at the Custom House. Aboutoue
half of these are already cancelled and arc
being retired at the rate ot 6200,000 daily.
Their places, however, are supplied by
what are termed "neto tksKe" of demand
notes.
Since the passage of the Act of July,
1SG1, the Government has relied chiefly
upon its demand notes ; upon the deposits
made with several of the Sub-Treasurers,
and by isue of certificates of indebtedness.
Of the latter, about $00,000,000 have been
issued. The Department is now paying
them out at the rate of 6000,000 daily.
Of the class of bonds known as the
5-20s, $18,571,100 have beer, issued. The
exact amount of deposites with the Sub
Treasuiers on call, is about $05,000,000.
The aggregate indebtedness ot the De
partment, consequently will foot up as
follows :
Debt contracted prior to July,
1861, $18,000,000
Donds bearing IT 3-10 ? cent in
terest, $132,000,000

Emancipation in the Late Elec
tions. The wisdom and expediency of
President Lincoln's proclamation of eman
cipation is fully vindicated by the results
of the elections. In Delaware and Mis
souri, where, as in every other State, this
measure of the Administiation was made
the issue before, the people, the Adminis
tration has been triumphantly suported.
The people of these States know better
than any one else what slavery means aud
what emancipation will probably effect.
'Ihey are competent judges of thft ques
tion. They arc a jury of experts, 'they
have lived all their lives in the midst of
slaviry, and know its influence on the
social and moral condition of the people
among whom it exists, and its blighting
effects on individual enterprise and labor.
They have been either actually within or
closely bordering ou the theatre of war.
In every aspect in which the question can
be considered, they have the practical
kuowledge, which enables them to form a
correct opinion of the .propriety of the
policy announced by the President aud
his Cabinet, and they have said without
hesitation, "We approve this emancipation
policy and desire its succe? s."
Total indebtedness, $033,571,100
The statement, we believe, i- approxim
ately correct, taking the figures as they
stood ou the 22d instant, and making the
liabilities of Government considerably less
than the current estimates. It should
relieve all apprehension as to any embar
rassment to be caused by our public debt.
The interest on the total amount at six
per cent is only 39,214,266. But only
449,571,100 draw interest reducing the
charge upon the Treasury from this quar
ter to $2G,974,2GG. To meet this charge
we have the revenue from customs, which
will probably zrjual $00,000,000, the pres
ent year, aud the revenue from the extra
ordinary sources recently provided.
Thcss sources were designed to realize
fully $200,000,000 annually. ' Wc learned
that so far they promise to prove produc
tive far beyond the estimate. There can be
no doubt of their realizing au immense
sum, and forming a secure basi?, not only
for the payment of interest accruing on the
public debt, but for its rapid extinguish
ment, upon the close of the war. Ihe
abundance of mouey demonstrates the
ability of Government to borrow to any
required amount. As previously argued
by ua, the nation finds no difficulty in
sustaining the burden of the war, as. it
possesses iu abundance whatever is neces
sary for its prosecution men, food and
materials and munitions of all kinds. So
long as the people will dispose of these for
the obligations of Government, no finan
cial embarrassment need be feared.
In the present financial condition of the
nation, consequently, .all is well. The
people have not 1 jst a jot of their confidence,
notwithstanding the failures in the milita
ry operations of the Government. They
feel that want of success has been due to
incompetency in those who have directed
affairs, not to any weakness of the cause,
or in the means of its maintainanceand
support. Confidence is uuabatcd that
the right men in the right place will at
last appear. More than a year ago it was
felt on all hands that military successes
were essential to the negotiation of loans.
They have not come in the degree prcdic
ted or expected ; yet it would be far easier
for the Government to borrow to-day than
it was a year, ago. We refer to this to
show that it is always unsafe to underesti
mate the financial strength of the people.
On the contrary, the war will demon
strate a srength on the part of the natiou
far trauscending whatever was claimed
for it by its most ardent advocates. The
natural resources of this country arc so
vast, that no limit can be placed upon its
productiveness under the stimulus of a
great necessity, or demand, especially so
long as the war is not waged upon North
ern soil. With our financial strength
unabated, all other things will . eome in
duf time. The experience, under similar
circumstances, of all nations addicted to
peace, has been similar to our own. Dut
the work of preparation is going on, while
military talent is being developed, so that
we are really making vastly greater pro
gress thau is generally supposed. In the
meantime, we are consolidating our polit
ical unity, gaining in confidence and in
experience, which cannot fail in the er.d
to conduct to complete succcsi.
The great topic of the day is tho tc
moval of Gen. M'Clellan from the com
mand of the Army of the Potamac, and
his retiracy. from active service ! The
order was issued last Friday night, and
was entirely unexpected to all. On its
receipt the command was immediately
turned over to Buruside. Gen. M'Clel
lan and his staff were to leave for Tren
ton, where he is ordered to report. His
last official act was the issuiug an address
to his soldiers informing them, in a few
words, that the command had devolved
on Gen. Durnside, and taking an affec
tionate leave of them. As Gen. Hooker
is to take the field, it is suppo-ed that he
is to take Gen. Durnside's place as late
commander of corps d'arince.
Some of the reasons which led to Gen,
M'CIellan's removal are given in the fol
lowing extract from an official letter from
Gen. llalhck to the Secretary of War :
"Soon after tiie battle of Antietam,
Gen. M'Clellan was urged to give me
information of his intended movements, in
order that if he moved between the enemy
and Washington, the reinforcements could
be sent from this place. On the 1st of
October, finding that he purposed to op
erate from Harper's Ferry, I urged him
to cross the river at once, and give battle
to the enemy, pointing out to him the dis
advantages of delaying till the autumn
rains had swollen, the Potomac aud im
paired the roads.
'On- the Gth of October he was per
emptorily ordered to cross the Potomac,
and give battle to the enemy or drive him
South. I said to him : 'Your army must
move now while the roads are in good
condition It will be observed that three
weeks have elapsed since that ordftr was
given. In my opinion-there has been no
such want of supplies in the army under
Gen. M'Clellan as to prevent his compli
ance with my orders to advauce upon the
enemy. Had he moved hid army to tho
south side of the Potomac, he could have
received his supplies almost as readily as
by remaining inactive on the north side."
The anuouncement which conveys M'-
Clcllan's removal, assures the public that

character are the cause of this step on
the
nart of the Administration. Comment on
this would be premature. It is not our
business to conjecture the cau-e. Suffi
cient for us to know that the stop has
been taken at a moment when some action
was necessary for the success of our mili
tary operations, and that those who make
this removal cannot possibly have any
other object in view than that of ensuring
the salety of the llepublic. Wc are not
now struggling for the rise or fall of men.
Rival leaders, however important they may
become to their personal friends, are of
no consequence to the great issues in
which the nation is involved, and there
fore, he who cannot sacrifice a personal or
a political preference in this contest, hus
nothing worthy within himself of being
sacrificed to the good and glory of Lis
country.
As the successor of Gen. McClclian,
Gen. Burn.side brings to his command
reputation and ability won ai;d tested 011
the hardest fought battle fields of the con
tinent. His enthusiasm aud his action
his skill aud his enterprise, will speedly
win us victories of the most important
charactor, uuless he is embarrassed and
thwarted by combinations within and
without the arnr', of jealous politicians
and military cliques. Iut let us. trus.t
that against all this he will guard by hi
promptness and the energy which always
secures success.

Gen. Ambrose Tl. ISurnside.
This gentleman, who now fills the impor
tant place just vacated by Gen. M'Olelhm,
is a native of Union county, Indiana; was
born in 1824, and is now in his S9th year.
In ISio he entered West Point Military
Academy, and graduated in lt?47, with
the rank of Second Lieutenant in the 2d
Artillery. lie immediately joined that
regiment in Mexico, but not until near
the termination of that war. He was
subsequently promoted to the rank of First
Lieutenant; but in- IS53 he retired to the
walks of private life,
and held an import-
Central Hail-
ant position on the
roau.
Subsequently he removed toProvideuce,
U. I., where, upon the breaking out of the
present war, he raised the first llhode
Island regiment, which rendered such
efficient service during the three months
campaign, and fought with honor at Bull
Hun.
General Burnside is one of the finest
looking men in the service, of good stature j
about 5 feet 11 erect and vigorous in
his movments. His address is easy and
gentlemanly, as much so to the common
soldier as to his equals in rank. He is
thoroughly loyal, aud imbued with a string
sense of the enormity of the crime of trea
son and rebellion, aud is in no way embar
rassed with scruples about crippliug tho
eucmy iu any way in which he can be
reached. His policy will not be a milk
and water one, and we may now safely
hope that more than a mere defensive
warfare will bo waged. Wis vigorous
course in North Carolina, and hisunifo.m i
success iu the important expedition he led i
in that Mate, in the face of appalling diffi
culties, are guarantees that he will not
disappoint the hopes of the country in the
high and responsible positioh he now occupies.
