, or who did not set the of his party above the opinions of the Courts? I never did. But in this connection me to remind you of a few facts. Before the election of Abraham Lincoln the dominant party of your section were notoriously opposed to "the Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws." They literally spurned the Constitution and the Congressional compromises growing out of it. They lawlessly set at defiance the decision of the Supreme Court in the famous case of Dred Scott, and reviled, in the coarsest form of bitting agate, the Chief Justice thereof.--They shot down United States Marshals, or Deputy Marshals, charge of their sworn duty, and they Congressional enactments by thus obstructing "the enforcement of the laws" They ignored the Constitution by repeatedly refusing to surrender fugitives from justice. I have sent to Kansas detachments of hired ruffians, armed with bowl, Sharpe's rides and Colt's revolvers, for the avowed purpose of exterminating th

Age of military officers. The New York Express states that the age of the General officers in Lincoln's army run as follows: Scott, aged 75; Wool, 73; Harney, 65; Mansfiled, 60; Totten, head of the Engineer Corps, 80; Thayer, Engineer, 80; Craig, head of the Ordnance Department, 76; Ripley, Ordnance, 70; Sumner, 65; Lawson, Surgeon General, 80; Larned, Paymaster General, 70; Gibson, Commissary General; Churchill, Inspector General; and Thomas, Adjutant General, are old men, having entered the army in the beginning of the present century — Gibson in 1808, and Churchill in 1812. On the other hand, remarks the Columbia Guardian, we find in the Army of the Confederate State Davis, Commander-in-Chief, a young man comparatively, and full of energy, vigor and fire; Beauregard, only between 40 and 50, in the full vigor of health; Lee, about 54 or 55; Bragg, active, vigorous and efficient, with others that might be named did we know their precise ages. In the physique of our

esson. There are some who talk of a war of p ts and skirmishes — of strategy and endurance. This failure is an answer to all such. Behind a breastwork, poor soldiers are nearly equal to good ones, since flight is often more dangerous than persistence, while discipline goes for little; good marksmanship is the main point. No, the Union is not to be saved by any system of petty warfare. It we have no better recourse, we may as well give it up. "Ah!" says a shrewd one, "you want Gen. Scott to offer battle whether he is ready or not" No, sir; we want him not to give battle till he is perfectly ready. He understands all that business a great deal better than we do, or ever will. But we do want him to be at the head of a force with which he can not only offer battle when he thinks at, but compel the enemy to accept it. That is the whole story. It he thinks 50,000 men enough to walk right over the rebels, then 50,000 he it, in spite of our demurrers. If he wants 100,000 imme
