tion's misfortunes. We must have the evidence all before us that be ordered this and that unfortunate movement before we bring in a verdict of guilty against Jefferson Davis. "They say" and "the reliable gentleman" will not do forus. "They say" is a notorious har, and "the reliable gentleman" is generally an ass or a knave. But sThe very people who are now called upon to chop it into firewood! How do we know that any other idol which the same hands construct will be any more a good? Jefferson Davis is the creation, not the creator of the Revolution; and if the Revolution fails it is as fair to attribute it to its own inherent weakness as the incompetencur servant and our agent has steadily maintained, under the most extraordinary provocation, the humanity and moderation of the Southern character. But if Jefferson Davis cannot claim the credit of inaugurating this Revolution; if he is but the honored instrument selected by the people themselves for their chief; if he has mani

lution fails it is as fair to attribute it to its own inherent weakness as the incompetency of its chief agent; neither of which would be true. It will be time enough to discuss the cause when the effect is produced, and if we are faithful, united and determined that we can never be. In any event, this dark hour is the last in which we will saddle the President with the responsibility of all our misfortunes. In the first place, we do not believe he is responsible; in the next, whilst Abraham Lincoln fancies he has his clutches upon his throat, we will not say — we cannot say with truth--"Yes, Father Abraham, that is the chief sinner; accept him as a victim, and restore us to thy favor." On the contrary, we can tell the President of the United States that we are all as great offenders as the President of the Confederacy, who is but our servant and our agent; and that if this war of defence has been conducted with as signal humanity and moderation as skill and valor it is because our
Washington (search for this): article 1
It was the fortune of General Washington, whilst conducting the Seven Years. War of the Revolution, to be the object of especial hate and vengeance to the British Crown, and, at the same time, to be exposed to misrepresentation, detraction and obloquy at the hands of his own countrymen. Few of us, not family with the details of the trying ordeal through which he passed, can form an adequate idea of the fiery furnace in which that great soul was tested, and from which it came forth, knowna felon and be only remembered as the unskillful and unsuccessful leader of an insane revolt, than become the admiration of all nations and of all ages, and be described by the pen of one of England's most ed nobles in words like these: "Surely Washington was the greatest man that ever lived in this world uninspired by vine wisdoms unsustained by supernatural virtue." It is difficult to realize that the man of whom this is now said, even in England, was once ill-stressed, harassed and prese
Davis President (search for this): article 1
anifested a persistent desire to harmonize and alleviate the horrors of war, he has conducted his administration of affairs with as much judgment, energy and devotion to the cause as any other man who could have been selected for his position. Who could have done better? Let us hear the name of the man, and also the reason why the public intelligence did not select that man for the Presidency instead of the present incumbent? We have no doubt that we did the best we could in making Mr. Davis President, and that he has tried to do the best he could in the Presidency. We see no more reason in attributing to him all the disasters in the West than all the glories in the East. If we are true to ourselves, the Ship of State will yet ride the waves buoyant and victorious; but if she goes down, let us refrain from pelting the helmsman, whom we ourselves put at the wheel of ship which we ourselves built and launched, and meet our fate with at least the fortitude and resignation of Turks,

d and heroic minds than those sorrows which lie upon the surface, and which attract at once the sympathy and consolations of the world. We have never been of those who attempted to make a demigod or a Washington of the President of the Confederate States. We know that, like other men, he is fallible; that he can err; has erred. But we will not, in this dark hour of national distress, felt by him as keenly, we doubt not as by the most sensitive of his countrymen, help to add to his afflictn fancies he has his clutches upon his throat, we will not say — we cannot say with truth--"Yes, Father Abraham, that is the chief sinner; accept him as a victim, and restore us to thy favor." On the contrary, we can tell the President of the United States that we are all as great offenders as the President of the Confederacy, who is but our servant and our agent; and that if this war of defence has been conducted with as signal humanity and moderation as skill and valor it is because our serva
Chase (search for this): article 2
, White Antelope, Little Robe, Left Hand, Knock Knee, One Eye, and another, name unknown. Not a single prominent man of the tribe remains, and the tribe itself is almost annihilated. The Arapahoe probably suffered but little. It has been reported that the chief, Left Hand, of that tribe, was killed, but Colonel Chivington is of the opinion that the was not. Among the stock captured were a number of Government horses and mules, including the twenty or thirty stolen from the command of Lieutenant Chase, at Jimmy's camp, last summer. "The Indian camp was well supplied with defensive works. For half a mile along the creek there was an almost continuous chain of rifle-pits, and another similar line of works crowned the adjacent bluff. Pits had been dug at all the salient points for miles. After the battle, twenty-three dead Indians were taken from one of these pits, and twenty-seven from another. "Whether viewed as a march or as a battle, the exploit has few, if any, paralle

ions. The First regiment, Colonel Chivington--part of companies C, D, E, G, H. and K, numbering, altogether, about two hundred and fifty men — was divided into two battalions; the First under command of Major Anthony, and the Second under Lieutenant Wilson, until the latter was disabled, when the command devolved upon Lieutenant Dunn. The three battalions of the Third, Colonel Shoup, were led respectively by Lieutenant-Colonel Bowen, Major Sayr and Captain Cree. The action was begun by the battalion of Lieutenant Wilson, who occupied the right, and by a quick and bold movement cut off the enemy from their herd of stock. From this circumstance we gained our great advantage. A few Indians secured horses, but the great majority of them had to fight or fly on foot. Major Anthony was on the left and the Third in the centre. Among the killed were all the Cheyenne chiefs — Black Kettle, White Antelope, Little Robe, Left Hand, Knock Knee, One Eye, and another, name unknown. Not

A battle with Indians. A correspondent of the Colorado News, writing on the 21st ultimo, gives an account of a fight with the Indians in that territory or State (we do not know what the Yankees call it). The writer kills the Indians awfully; but, when we recollect how those people write, we may put down the dead redskins' at only a few: "On the afternoon of the 28th, the entire command reached Fort Lyon, a distance of two hundred and sixty miles, in less than six days, and so quietly and expeditiously had the march been made that the command at the fort were taken entirely by surprise. When the vanguard appeared in sight, it was reported that a body of Indians was approaching, and precautions were taken for their reception. No one upon the route was permitted to go in advance of the column, and persons who it was suspected would spread the news of the advance were kept under surveillance until all danger from that source was past.
