'
Hutikeristn is jubilant over the- late
election in this State, Ohio, and Indiana,
but not as - much so over little lowa. This
lluuker party is as mean as the word sig
niftes--Humko, a mean, sordid, niggardly
fellow, a miser who' holds on to what he
gets for selfish gratifiCation and liaseness.
lAnd in this instanceit cannot but prove
true to its signification. Already is it
l'venting its Spleen in threats as to what it
will do when thOLegislature meets. Cary

the MOO who are shedding their , blood for
the life - of the Nation, it now threatens a
counter-revoltitioif

"abolitionists" dais to contend for this
inalienable right of free Americans Hase
in all its aspirations, with its sole aim
and hope stayed on treason and plucder
it would 'sacrifice the country for a parti•
zan success,. Hut, yet it mistakes tte in•
fluence greatly when thinking that 'the
soldiers have no power because of the de

We. O'er& OM first draft in Camp; the
record of our requisitions leading the rer , - -

decided disPositied to ridicule the drafted
men by cheers and shouts of derision.
There were many exceptions, libivever,
and gentlemen among - them hastened' to
our quarterato . apologize for the rudeness
of their men and thank us for the timely
laid we were likely to afford them. • But
this soon wore pg, and to day there is
prObably runny drafts in camp as

come." The roads are 'everywhere full

have Ceased trilook at theist or their quar

'There is 'a great contrast in the appear

Abut It. It - didn't Make ant difference

whether 'Joshua Giddings or Jeff. Davisl
got up the rebellion. 'There it see
who is in it, and we must put it down.
He,apPealed to the old Democrats. He .
would ask them : Are you going to see

He was ,elected properly under the Con
stitution. 'I 'didn't vote for him—l
troilldn't vote for him now, but I sun for
putting down the rebellion. Now this is
the fact. Anbody who won't go to war
for the reasons I suggest, is afraid to risk
it, or he is a traitor. That's the whole of
it. Is there any man Who can put his
finger on any injury done to the rights of
the South? Not one, not even a slave
holder. We old line Democrats. were
always determined to . maintain the rights
of the South :e Not one, not even a slave
holder. We old line Deinocrats were al
ways determined to maintain the rights
of the South. We gave ;them more than
they were entitled to. How, then, why
this rebellion ? Not because Lincoln was
elected, nor because Breckioridge wasn't
nor Douglas wasn't. Not a bit of it. , It
has been working, for thirty years. But
are twenty millions of people to be whip
ped by six ? We can't let this war run]
on one or two years. Men must come'
out to stop it. If they don't come vol
untarily, ' the Government , will make
them come, and it ought to make them'
come."
The Pennla Iteserve Corps.
To be deprived of all the comforts of
life, to undergo unusual hardships and,
exponres, :and to risk not only the
chances- of battle, but the • pestilence
which is begotteu in swamps, would seem
to be enough to'ask of our soldiers, with
lout robbing- them of the credit due to
brave men for gallant conduct. The Pa.
Reserve; : so long under Gen. McCall, but
now led:by-Gen. Meade, has deserved as
well of the country as any command in ,
the service. From the time of he Drones- !
ville - fight to the recent bloody -battle
near Sharpsburg, the Corps has taken a
prominent part in every engagement of
the aruiy •of the Potomac; qid! often sus- I
tained without - support the assault of
Rebel forces three, times as large as it
' Self. Some of the gallant regiments which
left Pennsylvania a year ago with full
racks are now so Sadly; reduced that they
are regiments Only in name, and by vir
tue of their glorious deeds. W nen they
reached Fredricksburg,• on their way
from the PeniOsultoo Pope, it yds sad
dening enough to see their dress parades.
Three hundred or three linttdred and fif
ty'bettle-worn,• hungry, ill-clad veterans
were all that Adjutants could return as
fit . for duty. The restfilled bloody . graves
won 'at each of the Peninsular battle
fields,' , or had fallen victima to. disease.
But when the-line of march from Fred
ericksbitrg was taken up the men stepped
out as briskly and talked as cheerfully as
if the regiments were marching to their
first battle. - .
In the battle of Sharpsburg the Corps
performed prodigies of valor, charging
the enemy over and over again, driving
superior forces from chosen positions, and
contending for hours and hours with fear
ful odds. Their bravery may be meas
ured by their losses, wnich were more
than one seventh of the force engaged.
We should not think it worth while to
say this much in jiefense of a command
so noted for bravery, and steadiness as
the Pennsylvania ReserVes, 'were it not
for an unmanly and untruthful slur upon
them recently made by the Herald.: This

The readers of the Continental are aware of
' the important position it has assumed, of the
influence and of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent of the
highest orderwhieb supports it. No pub7ica
lion of the kind has; - in this equntry, so suc
cessfully combined the energy, and freedom of
the daily. riewspaper with. the' higher literary
tone of the first-class monthly ; and it is very
certain that• no magazine has given wider
range to.its contributors, or preserved itself
so completely .from the narrow influences of
• party or olfaction. In times like the present,
such a journal is either a power to the land
or, it it utithin,r. That the Continental is not
the latter' is abundantly evidenced by ,chat it
has done—by the reflection of its councils in
many important public erents,and in the char
acter atid power of those who arc its staunch- i
lest. supporters . .
By the accession of Hon. Robert J. Walker
and Hon. F. P. Stanton to its editorial'. corps,
the Continental :acquires a strength and a
political significance, v ! hich, to those who are I
aware of the ability, and experience of these
gentlemen, Mtitt i:levato it to a position far
above any previously' occupied by any publi
cation of the : hind in America. Preserving
all "the boldness, v , gor, and ability" which
a thousand journals 'have attributed to it, it I
will (above greatly enlarge its circle of action.
and discuss, - fearlessly an frakly, every prin
ciple, involved in the
,great question! of the
day. The first Mindi of the country', embrac
ing men most familiar vitt. its diplomacy and
most distinguished for ability, are to become
its et;titributors ; and it is no mere "flattering
promise of a prospectus" to say, that this
I , magaxine for, the times" will employ the first
intellect in A"meriaa, under auspices which
no pithliention' ever enjoyed before in this
country. - . .
GI4RL ES . GODFREY LELAND,the accomplished
'scholar and author, %slid has till now been the
solo Editor of the Magazine, will, beside his
editorial labors, continue his brilliant contri
butions to its pages; and _Edmund Kirke, au
thor of " - Among the Pines," will contribute to
each issue, having already begun a work on
Southern Life and Society, • which will be
found fur more widely descriptive, and in all
respects,-superior to the - Etat. •
While tho Continnital will express decided
opinions on the great questions of the day, it
will not be a mere political journal : much
the larger portion 'of •its - colordus will be en-
ivened, as - beretofore,• by tales, poetry, and
humor. In a word,. the • Continental will be
found, under its new staff of Editors, occupy
ing, . ix, position and presenting attractions
never before found in a magazine,
