THE EAGLE. OFFICIAL FAPIK OF TUB COUNTY. DECATUR, INDIANA. FRIDAY, OCT. 25, IS6T. —e= '■ 1 ■ -a More About “II.” The Jay and Adams Republican correspondent, we notice is a little riled by our strictures, and by his silence acknowledges that Jim Smith furnished the brains for his article, parson Jones that he “can wield a sword, a bayonet, or the pen of a ready writer” to the contrary notwithstanding. "H’ too, has the pleasure of informing us he “served in. the victorious army of ‘Radicals’ that put down the slaveholders rebellion, and he determined to place the record of Vallandingham, O’Rouke, deserters, sneaks, and Knights of the Golden Circle before the people, and vote against all men that now affiliate with them” Democrats according to the same authority brought negroes to this country, whipped them, loved them, freed them, and then refused them political rights, because the negroes are Radicals. He informs us we were raised a Whig, and was told we became a leading Know Nothing, but changed tactics for office, worked our way to the Editorial Chair, of the Eagle, and when Lin, coin called for 300,000 more, took a patriotic fit and rushed to the front to hunt and imprison men, destroy presses, and establish a despotism. While there we ate, slept, marched, fought and denounced traitors like a Radical, and threw the Eagle down on account of its treasonable sentiments. And because fifteen hundred Democrats voted for us, seven hundred and fifty of whom were “Knights of the Golden Circle,” parson Jones calls us a traitor, and “H” says he will vote against us.— Alack! Alas! Let us see. Vallandingham or O'Rouke never opposed this war with half the bitterness that the puritan Governor Andrews did, when he said to Lincoln not anv other dollar unless you make the object of this wax the freedom of the negroes, and when he force 1 the emancipation proclamation on the President, hunted Europe over, enslaved her paupers and scoured the South and West for substitutes—patriotism in thy name was this done! It is true they made just as good targets for rebel bullets as the sons of Puritans, perhaps better, for the “col-ored-troops fought nobly,” better than the sons of Puritans, say Puritan orators.

“II” shows his intelligence ( !) and falsifies history when he charges Democrats with bringing negroes to this country. It was the Puritan fathers—Yankee captains—who owned and traded in Jamacia Rum and negroes, with their fast clippers, and which cost this Government millions of dollars to suppress the traffic and Johnny Bull millions more. And after their lucrative trade was destroyed their sons commenced and continued stealing negroes from their masters and inaugerated the “irrepressible conflict.”

As to our political record past and present, from a leading “Know Nothing" to a private in the Democratic ranks, tramping the Eagle, as you Radicals peddled it last spring, or our army record, you are welcome to all you can make of it. And we advise you to keep telling it—it is parson Jones turn now—yours next—make additions, amendments, etc. It is a terible thorn in our side. Parson J ones says you can demolish, us in an argument before breakfastlike Seward whipped the South,— we have his word that he tells the truth - «o pitch in. Veteran “H” served with us, he informs us, with pleasure, in the victorious army of Radicals. Parson Jones says you are a bayonetist, writest and fightist, and veteran says “we fought” together.--We deny the partnership. It is true, “we arc told,” that the Colonel commanding “H”—it took a whole colonel to do it—ordered him home to capture all butternuts found on Copperheads. “H” did capture one by getting in ths rear of a small tow-headed

boy, and saved himself from a “licking” by his masterly discretion. Loaded with this one trophy he returned to the army disgusted with fighting, and for the remainder of his enlistment, this veteran, who volunteered without the promise of being made a Lieut, or Capt., rode a “muel” and carried a bed-pan for an army surgeon. If their is any other place that “H” smelled powder, that we have omitted to mention, upon. informing us we will make proper correction. Parson Jones says that “H” can call together on his muster-roll one hundred trained veterans before we could enroll a Corporal’s Guard —you frighten us Parson, “H” how do you do it ? have you a horn or a whistle?—Rhodrick Dhu had a small horn. That bedpan arrangement gave you an opportunity to study “ticktacks” and with your tremendous intellect you would make a formidable antagonist in the next war—where all heroes like “H” always distinguish themselves—that next war—well we don’t intend to fight against “H,” parson Jones.

The Washington specials to the Cincinnati Enquirer say: The determination of the President to change his Cabinet has been repeatedly alluded to in this correspondence. There is authority to repeat the same with full permission of the President. It was suggested to him this afternoon that the great popular verdict indorsing his policy would prevent further agitation of impeachment. The President replied he thought not but apprehended that the radicals would became even more desperate, and hesitate at nothing to accomplish their revolutionary purposes. In reponse to the question of his course, should radicals attempt to depose him before trial, he said he would resist with all the powers which the Constitution furnishes for its own protection and preservation. This was said with great warmth and earnestness. It would be criminal, he said not to resist an effort on the part of Congress to usurper destroy the Executive Department, and he thought it well for the country to know bis opinion and his purpose in relation to Cabinet changes. He said be would strengthen himself for any emergency that might arise. Circumstances he said, necessitated a change, and this should be done before Congress met In the selection of his Cabinet the President declared that he would not consult or be governed by party cliques, but act on his own judgment, and for what he thought was the best interest of the country. It was his intention to draw around him men of nerve, ability and patriotism. In answer to an Inquiry about General Sherman, he said: “I can assure you that General Sherman will be here between the 10th and 17th of November, and in ample time for the discharge of any duty, however reponsible, which may devolve on him.” The General, he further said, had deemed it best to return to his command to meet the Indian Peace Commissioners as he promised, and that done, he would return forth with to Washington. The President evidently expects to avert trouble by being prepared to meet it.

The declaration of Montgomery Blair, in his speech in Washington, that General Grant, despite the contradiction which has been made, had expressed his gratification of the result of the recent elections, excites some comment in that city, for it is known that the Washington Star was officially authorized to deny the story, when it first appeared. The friends of Chase are making their comments over the two statements, and insist that General Grant shall define his position in this particular, over hie own signature, or else request his friends to cease the agitation of his name for the Presidency. On the other hand, the friends of Grant declare that the Blairs have started this story as a part of a scheme to injure the Chase interest. Altogether, the politicians have had a spicy time in discussing the extraordinary stories.— lnd. Herald. A correspondent writing 'from the “Hub,” says: “The Boston girl is a shell. She never ripens into a matured flesh and blood woman. She is cold, hard, dry and juiceless—an intellectual mummy. Gail Hamilton is a type of the Boston girl at maturity. Abby Kelly Foster was a type of the Boston girl gone to seed. If Gail Hamibton lives as long as did Abby Kelly, she will carry a blue cotton unbrella. wear a Lowell calico, and make speeches on the wrongs of woman and the abuse of the tyrant man. If the Boston girl marries, she gives birth either to a dictionary or to a melancholylooking young intellect, who is fed exclusevely on vegetables, and at the age of six has mastered logarithms and zoology, is well up in the carbodiierous and fossilifegous periods, falls in to the frog pond a few times, dies whenhe is eight years of age and sleeps be neath a learned epitaph.” Asks a Southern paper: “What is the use of congressmen taking four pairs of kid gloves apiece, to be paid by the public treasury, when they handle the whole South without gloves ?” Out of the sixty workmen engaged in laying the Nicholson pavement, covering the wood blocks with tar, in New Orleans, not one has been attacked with vellow fever.

Millions for Radicalism, But not One Cent for Religion. The New York Tribune wants its friends to reach to the bottom of their pockets to help the negroes of the South to live long enough to vote the radical ticket and keep the radical party in power, but they are not required to give one cent in aid of schools, churches, or any work of benevolencife in the South. Hear how it talks : “The Republicans of the South are generally very poor. Social influence and caste prejudices operate strongly against them. It is at once the duty and the interest of the Northern Republicans to help them to organize their forces so as to be sure of bringing out their full strength at each of the important elections to be held throughout the next four months.” Help organize the loyal league.s. That is the duty of the North, but not one step farther. Hear this : “We encourage no man to come hither from the South in quest of contributions to build a church, to support a school, or to achieve any local political end.” The negro can rely upon the Northern radicals to help them in any political movement which is to aid them in a party sense, but not one cent can be - vouched for in aid of any benevolent or religious organizations.— lnd.
