Iniquitous war against the Union and the
Constitution. The Examiner says:
't We notice that in Texas and in some por

lion is urged to make a conscription of forced
levy of staves, where there labor is neocssary
for the army. Since the invasion of the
South, the Yankees have stolen feria of thou
sands'of negrOca, and made them useful as
teamsterst laborers-in camp, &c. It appears
that slaveholders :aro averse, for some rea
son, to hire their negroes in the Confederate
army. The prejudike is certainly on igno
tant and mean one. As the war originated,
and is carried on in great part for the defence
of the slaveholder in his property, rights, and
the perpetuation of the institution, it is reason
able to suppose that. ho ought to be first and
foremost in aiding and assisting, by every
means of his power, the triuumph and sue

The Union Voters in the Field
If all the friends of the Administration
and of, an energetie management of the war
to put down the rebellion go into the field,
and all the secession sympathizers of the Dem
ocratic party stay at home, it is very easy to
see how the elctions may go wrong, and the
Democrats may figure up a "gain." A hun•
dred thousand men from rennsylvaniti go out
in proportion of about three Republicans to
one Democrat, and excess of fifty thousand
men from the side which those who stay ati
home say is beaten in the election which fol
lows. Tho rightful majority of forty thou
sand on the right side is cut down to nothing,
but honorable Democrats enough vote for the
war to reduce the balance which the differ
ence between 40,000 and 50,000 votes make
agaiust us frt7rn ten thousand to about one
thousand. This is the way our patriotic vo
tors leave us, by volunteering in the army, to
bo outnumbered by a mass of voters which it
would be a stretch of courtesy to oall intelli•
gent, in case they are patrotic.
That this is the true state of facts th'e vote
of the lowa regiments just taken fully proves.
Thirty•two regiments from that State show a
majority for the Union Republican State ticket
of 7,283, and proportions of nearly five to one
its the iegiments where both votes are given.
In some twenty of these the aggregate Demo
cratic vote was 1,895, and the Union Republi
can rule 7,122 In some regiments the pro
portions wore ten or even twenty to ono.—
Such proportions as those first named are very
good rereseutatives of the principal volun
teer regiments froM the interior and western
part of this State, the very counties whose
veto disappoints us, and in which we find the
Democratic fullness and plumpness net at all
equalled in the Union

Another regiment has four Democrats only
to 208 - 11.0 publicans, and not ono from the
State gives a Democratic vote of more than
one third of he numbers.
The North Ame,icap says thin explanation
is the guide and key, to the apparent misfor•
tune noticed in the elections already held.—
The noise of Democratic organs cannot drown
the truth out, nor obscure it to any intelli•
gent and loyal man. There is no such popu
lar approval of their opposition as they pro
feet to have found in the October voting.—
There will be none hereafter, when the States
voting in November shall be heard from.—
There may be adverse majorities in one or
two t f them, and partial defeats in the mat
ter of candidates elected. But the judgment
of a ina j or ily of the potpie remains the same,
or ratiter it oily be said that it is affirmed
with the earnestness which a man puts in his
action when volunteering - for the war. Vast
numbers of earnest supporters of the Admix/
istration have volunteered for the war, and
their tents whiten Maryland, Kentucky.
Tennessee, and parts of Virginia. They are
atilt - lobs to end - the war' before returning to
vote again, and they care little for that pre
tence of popular teSling against the war which
the votes - of thdr Democratic secession sym
pathizers at home-have - put - in' the balloL tick

Tho Chances of War
In copying come extracts from
Summary of the At t of IYar, we expressed the
opinion that very much of the theory of war,
as taii;2.lit in the military schools, was ti`ppli•
cable only to the comparatively limited area
of the States of Europe (except Ituasiaj, where
the tnaxims.aWd plans mostly originated, and
that on vast theatres of war the science must
be conducted by other plans, as it was clearly
impracticable to rely here upon the same cal
culations.,
To soute'extent this explains the failure of
all our contrivances in this war to cut oil and
capture rebel armies of large size. The ques
tion is as to the limits of this application.—
For time reader, of course, will call to his
mind tit once the capture of the army of Bur•
goy ne at 8 mratoga by Gates, and that of Corn.
wahis at Yorktown by Washington ; in the
war of 1812, the surrender of Detroit by Hull,
and, in the present war, the capture of 16,000
reshels at Fort Donelson, ;and 12,000 Union
troops at Harper's Perry.
• The armies of Burgoyne end Corvallis did
not exceed 7000 each, and fordelliirf that
num
ber we can capture anywhere if our generals
are smart. Pope took precisely that number
at Island No. 10, and Bragg took 5000 at
IMlumfordsville. In every cuss of this kind
the capture was made by superior numbers.
Burgoyne and Cornwallis were taken In a
hostile country, where it wits extremely diffi
cult for them to maintain the communications.
Our armies in the south are under the same
trouble.
In every Cll3O the captured army was
hemmed in and helpless Situated like that ,
of Cornwallis, any army, no matter •how large,
might be Laken if its supplies could be cut off',
according to military theory.' But it is obit
ous that if the army numbered a huiidied
thousand, and ran short of supplies, Instead
of surrendering, it would leave its position
and fight a cje;iperoite battle. If the beton
gored general wore skilful, ho might fight his
way through and escape. This was what the
rebels tried at Fort, Donelson, and failed in.
A large army concentrated within the bend
of a large river,Aiemmed in by our troops by
land and pressed by our gunboats on the riv
er, might be captured under the same cirount

There must bo water and gunboate I on at

on account of the absence of a navy or of the

HEADQUAILTEIIe UNITED STA./TEE FONOES,

Sir—Major General J. R Anderson, Briga
dier General Forest and General Harris have
been rapidly coneentratinga a large Rebel

avowed intention of assaulting Nashville.—
Deeming it tv favorable opportunity to cheek

assume a position, forming their lines in en•
tioipation of our entire force advaneing on

uvrEmt- OFFICE.—On Friday
evening, ut lait week, about 8 o'clook
forty of the Anderson Caval•
re, marched into town, and proceeded to the
office of the American Volunteer, where
they hr dr open the door, and entering the
office, demolished .some of the type and oth•
er printing material. Part of the paper
whi .1% was wetted down for the next issue,
was also torn up and scattered about the
office. The noise attendant upon this pro
cedure so in collected a crowd, and the party
engaged in it left precipitately.
That the damage done to the establish
ment wire but trifling is demonstrated by the
fact that the paper is regularly issued this
week, which could not have been accorn•
plished if the injury to the materials had
been considerable. The incentive which.
promoted this unlawful tronsaction is to be
in last week's issue of that paper. The fol
lowing article appeared in ifs editorial. col

had been ascertained :
WILL LINCOLN RESIGN P
" Now that the people have spoken throngs
the balli4mx, nail have declared in tones
of !howler, their want of confidence in Anas.
o,.tm Ltstiot.s, he should at once resign and
retire to private life. lie should be glad la
be permitted to do so, for more than one ty
rant has lost his head for crimes against his
country not. h• If as aggravated as those com
mined by this miserable man, LINcoLN:—
Lk hint resign and go home, and thank his
God that a worse fate did not overtake him.
H e h as been most signally, ,rebuked by the
loyal people of the North. They have, in the
face of his threats and persecutions, dashed
th e ir clenched fists in his very or a, and
branded him and his truckling, thieving'rot';'
ton administration with the seal, of their
cendem nation. " Come qut of the chair
ALlitillAAl LINCOLN," is the demand the peo
ple of this State made on Tuesday of last
week. The people of Ohio, Indiana Dela
ware and New Jersey have re echoed the
sentiment. Will the President obey this
voice, or will he continue to outrage the peo
ple and the country by holding on to his
office ? We shall see."
This article was cut out of the paper and
pasted upon the, flag staff at Camp Alabama,
on Friday morning. By evening the ex
citement and *indignation consequent upon its perusal, became so intense, that it AVM
only by the most strenuous exertions of the
oflicers , and sentinels with loaded arms, that
the major portion of the regiment could be
restrained from rushing through the con•
fine, of the camp, and coming in town. As
it was the party that did come, escaped
unperceived by the guard, through the back
way:
