the American republic is now in the position of France at the time of the Revolution of 1798, and like her, is revolutionary. The Herald says: This is a strange confusion of ideas. The American government is not in revolutionary condition. It is the South that is trying to effect a revolution, and the government is trying to prevent it. The government and the majority of the people are conservative and not revolutionary. They simply desire the status que ants bellum restored. Greeley and the abolitionists are revolutionary, and, instead of the restoration of the Union and the authority of the Constitution, they want both abolished and a new government erected on their ruins. They are thus as revolutionary as the Secessionists of the South. The American government is good enough for us, and whosoever at the North attempts to change it in letter or spirit by physical force, or even suggests it, ought to be regarded as a traitor, whose crime is equal to that of Jefferson

any might be disposed to favor, under the mistaken notion that it was based on the results of English military experience. Sad Effects of the War upon Newspapers. The New York Herald, of the 8th inst., says editorially: We have it upon the highest authority, no less than that of the Tribune itself, that that journal has been losing money ever since the beginning of the war. We now learn that the owners, some thirty of them, all with long, lank hair, and shaggy beards, except Greeley, have held a meeting to take into consideration the propriety of suspending publication till the war is over, as the rapid rate at which they are losing their capital just now will soon clear them out, whereas by suspending they could save something out of the wreck to start afresh with when peace is restored. Now, instead of this, we would strongly recommend an amalgamation of the Tribune and the Independent --that the Tribunes swallow up the Independent, or the Independent the Tribune --

more particularly since they find the safety of their homes threatened at every point by the Federal expeditions? This enlistment question is the greatest danger that has as yet menaced the rebel Government. The anxious forebodings of its organs prove the wisdom of Gen. McClelian's policy of patience. When he advances he will find the strength of his adversary broken by other and more bloodless agencies than the movements urged by those profound military strategists. Generals Gurley and Greeley.--N. Y. Herald. Missouri news-- Price reinforced. Bulla, Feb. 8. --The news from the West indicates that the preparations for a decided blow against the enemy are nearly completed. The forces for this movement are nearly all concentrated at the point whence it is intended to move against the adversary, and in a few days the whole command will probably be on the march westward. General Sigel and Asboth's divisions have reached Lebanon, and Major Wright's battalion of cava

The following interesting paragraph appears in the editorial columns of the New York Herald: Poor Greeley's troubles are never ending. He has been misrepresenting and vilifying Gen. McClellan for several weeks back, with a view to having him replaced by some other General, whose conservative tendencies were not supposed to be as decided. One by oned a military order which places him in as strong antagonism to his emancipation theories as the latter. Gen. Halleck will neither admit fugitive slaves within his lines, nor will be countenance their concealment in any way by his troops. Poor Greeley! The further the war progresses the more remote becomes the realization of the fanatical hopes that led him and the faction with which he is connected to provoke it. Correspondence Stopped.

ld be left to them, and to every other slave State of the present day, as it was left originally to the slave States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and others. This is the policy of "Honest Abe Lincoln;" and as it has been consistently pursued in the reclamation of Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee, from the gripe of this rebellion, we may venture the opinion that it will still be adhered to, all the emancipation schemes of Sumner, Trumbull, Lovejoy, Cheever, Beecher, and Greeley, to the contrary notwithstanding. It is this policy which has broken down the stronghold of the rebellion in the West, and which, if not disturbed, will speedily break up the whole concern. We expect shortly to find it fully developed in the complete restoration of Tennessee to the laws and benefits of the Union. In this connection we would suggest, however, that no State convention is necessary. Tennessee is not in the condition of a province wrested from a foreign enemy. She has

ably base and so fearfully mischievous to society, that "the Satanic" is the only phrase which can give any adequate conception of his character. It is true that Greeley, of the Tribune, appears to be more cruel and inhuman in his ideas of the manner in which the war should be carried on, but this is simply because he is a fanatice conservative in his theory, it is simply the promptings of a more intelligent self-interest. He well knows that the exterminating and abolitionixing crusade of Greeley would recoil, with terrific force upon Northern manufacturers and commerce, involving them inevitably and hopelessly in a common ruin with the South. But for this, he would be more bloody and diabolical than Greeley, without the extennation of his fanaticism and madness. The Almighty Dollar is in this, as all other subjects, the mainspring of his action. The Herald was originally established to make money, not alone by legitimate newspaper enterprise, but by every art and scheme, no matt

alls lustily for reinforcements to Gen. McClelian, and "on the instant," and "In God's name," and says that "It would have been economical, humane, and politic to have given to McClelian all the disposable troops north and west of the Ohio when he commenced the invasion of Virginia." Now how are we to account for this great im- provement in the music of the Tribune since the rebel evacuation of Manesses? The answer is very simple. Some of our radical abolition republicans — and Greeley is among them — are beginning to be apprehensive that some scrious disaster to General McClellan is within the range of probability; and should any disaster befall him they know where public opinion will fix the responsibility. Our loyal people, like our honest and sagacious President, [save the mark] have always had the fullest confidence in Gen. McClelian. Not so, however, is it, or has it been, with our radical republicans. From the day when it was made apparent that Gen. McClelian ha

public confidence in the President, in whom alone the people can now trust. We urge, as a life and death necessity, that this disturbing and disorganizing faction should be put down. It is the stumbling block in the path of the loyal people. It misrepresents this war for the Union by calling it a war for the negro; and no war for the negro can be popular. It cries "emancipation" to drown the battle-cry of "Union."--Its utterances serve to exasperate and encourage the rebels; for Sumner, Greeley & Co., have brought Jeff, Davis more and better recruits than the conscription act. It is a faction of traitors. If it had been crushed months ago we should have had an end to the war, at half the price of blood and treasure. As it is, the end seems no nearer than before. Three hundred thousand men are now rushing to arms. Three hundred thousand more patriots offer their lives for the salvation of the country. Millions upon millions of dollars are ready to be poured into the national T

nal friends, alleged to have been sick in that locality. Her colloquial power was most extensive. After being brought to Richmond and inserted in Castle Godwin, the officers in charge respectfully asked to be relieved of her presence, as the diarrhoea of words, not of the most choice kind, with which she constantly afflicted them was past human endurance. The Southern people may confidently expect a dozen columns of twaddle about "experiences" in Dixie from this strong-minded disciple of Greeley. Prior to her departure she had the candor to acknowledge that she did not believe the South could ever be subjugated — a remark she said she had made to the Abolition General Sumner, which he answered by a look of incredulity. Mrs. Frazier was taken from her room over the Assistant P. M.'s office at an early hour yesterday morning, and conveyed in a hack to the Military Prison.

dopted, he was willing to leave the Administration to other hands. One of the Senators who had preferred this request was impudent enough to tell the President he wished to God he would resign. This interview between these apostles of negro elevation and the President has presented a direct issue. The whole country will rejoice that Mr. Lincoln has expressed his determination not to degrade the gallant volunteers, who are now bleeding and dying for the Union and the Constitution, by acceding to the demands of the few fierce fanatics who would pervert the war for the Union into a simple Abolition raid. The decision of the President in this case settles the question as to an admission of negro brigades.--One of the Senators alluded to war from Kansas, and thus the Tribune's story about Jim Lane's negro regiments is at once proved a bursted bubble; ditto Greeley's red breached negro brigade, and the negro regiments that have been reported to be organizing in this district.
