The wuk of disintegration ii Colas oo ia the Republican ranks, aod nothing buttho .cohesive rower of public plunJir will bokl the organization together through another political canras, ami it i" doubtful whether that influnc will be powerful enough to cemeut the riscorhnt material ol which it is composed. Already we hare the cviJeuce that there ia as much, if not more, bitterness between the contending fiction, than either hare manifested toward the Democracy. Says Wilkes' Spirit of the Time : It cannot hare escaped the obserration of the public that two distinct campaigns are being pressed from Waahioston. One ol these ii the war againtt the rebela in the field; the other a rati aicsl the inters of the country for the capture ati d control of the reit four years of poil. In blh'thee Abraham Lincoln U the gencraliaimo. " His principal sab com rat mi era of the military nUmp are Grant, Butler. Bark and Meade; hi chief lieutenants iu the accond enterprise are Weed, Seward, Blair and IUtes. The oetensible aim of the first of the.-c campaign is to recover possession of the feceJc 1 States; th object of the ecnl U to subjugate the expresioo of the lojal iortb. and take the next Presidency ad plunder by urpriie. As the latter campaign ia by far the moat important to those wbo manage both, the military march U aubordinated to the civil one, and our arm are constantly retired to pause, that the Utter programme may be incidentally hitched forward to iia donated promineuce. The civil campaign, moreover, has a natural advantage over the military one. in the fact that ltd leader are atitionary, thruuh the faTor of the IWiJent. and not subject to pet tu: btion and removal ou the point of being too succwful. The cases of Fremont and Butler are striking instances of thia superior trjteirv. The early opening of the MUnis-ippi hi- ihm former, and the premature conquest of Tesaa bv the litter, were decorously postponed by the Adminiitrailoo, in order that (Jen. Seward j might Erat conaenrauze Missouri, and next bring in, if possible," the tnHj;tiut4 of the lower States to vote for Abraham Lincoln out of sheer gratitude for scutching the malice of the ultra radical., and f ir his practical abrogation or the confiscation acts. The their? laid down in the Seward dispatch of April. lPßl, that the rebel should not be subjugated by the force of arms, was. to be maintained till it made an impression ou their hearts; and they were then to be tolled in with a ten per cent, olive branch, to support the 'leaders who po magnanimously hhcltered them from the penalties of trenon. The main triumphs of this policy over military progress were undoubtedly the prompt countermanding ol Fremont's emmcipttion edict in the Wet, und the suppression of the Br.l Tex expelition by the sudden displacement of Butler from the Department of the Uu'.f. It.- -ec maary successes were the abandonment of Pope to the joint treicher? of Totter and McCiellan.the cotnr!et immun tv of Ice from pursuit after his dis arrou defeat at OettTsburz. ai.d the l ife fur lough to imperiled Richmond, through the mis ion of the renrieved assassin Ikle. All ol thexe incident doubtless were considered by our civil notables a wholesome checks to military rivalry; bat should Sherman now be cast away in the endeavor to carve out a Lincoln delegation from reconstructed Mississippi, as Ulmore wan wrecked tn the late ilH-adrUed effort to snatch three MominUing votes from Florida, we doubt if the people will not decide that these l'residen lial ramblers have overplayed their h ind. Th'jush Mr. Lincoln is not entirely to blame for this subordinate aud selfish scheme, he must. as the main part? ostensibly in interest, be hen responsible for its disastrous effects. The true criminals, however, are tboe-c unprincipled politi cal Uourbons who have involved his feeble and unsteady nature with a false ambition, and who, instead of instructing him to t bank Heaven bum bly for the undue honors which sarcastic Fortune carelessly pinnel upon his back, have tempted him to believe that the sway of a "groat ruler" is his natural inheritance. Unfortunately for the country, this Sancho Tanr tn dream of Mr. Lincoln has not been imposed upon him, as were the simulited royalties of that equally illustrious character, Kit Sly, for the mere purposes of merriment. It Is not designed by his scheming courtiers that he shall cast aside the ermine at the proper point, and, sufficiently honored by a broad gugaw, return with a grotesque caper to his 3 itboat or his ass; but it is deliberately meditated he shall be shoved again into the robe.) of State, that they may hold the line which mirks his range, and grind the music to regulate his pares. It is they who are to be the f? or eminent they, cot he. They to receive the silver; he to attract the audience; and that simply is the rea.jn why we, though loyal to the warlike policy of the Administration, are opposed to the whole of this underplot and play. The game U entirely for Sewaid, Weed and Blair. Toor Abrahtm, whom they caged as .soon as he was caught, is lh mere screen from behind which they strike the country and accumulate their spoil; and to vote for him again, is merely to repeat Seward and his roll Bourbons as the misters of our future. That is the truequestion now proposed. Bankrupt in character themselves, below the possibility of public eh nice, they dingle hin forwarJ for the amu.-emeiit of the groundlings, in the hope, while lurking nrltully in hi grotesque shadow, to seize upon his skirts and swi'ix once more upon the plailorm of t-ontrol. The manner in which these tricksters have "worked" this misplaced gentleman is characteristic of their practice and their principles. They took h:m fre.-h Irom an ardent programme, and counseled hin to recede to hirmonize the conntry. With souls too small to appreciate the time, or if they do, with vein too cold to sympathize with iu progression, they made him deal with treason like an old 'policeman, and yield liberty and a per rentage to the irate offen lers, that they might not be discouraged ol tuture exploits and partnership together. Polit'cil corruption is the meanest form of treason. Themselves disloyal through the very intensity of elfi?hnesj, these Bourbons naturally look with a lenient eye upon transgressors who differ from them only by the phase of courage; and a due sequel to their erly pledges, to protect slavery and the reteliion. is the lite repeal of the Confiscation Act. throu-h their attorneys of the districts. The Emincipation edict, on which they now repose for a de fense, was wrun from them by the clamor of the people; and they would not even invite the rebels to repentance, in tfieir Bull of Amnesty, without civinir them till the eleventh hour of doomsday to persist in the experiment of arms. There has been neither principle, pod fai'h ir dignity in iheir administration; and it is mere im pudence to k that they be perpetuated in their power. Indeed, there is something worse than impudence in the raanuer they have attempted to forestall the expression ol t?.e country and did ate themselves lor the succession. L ke the notables of Mexico, who elected Miximilhn, they have usurped the functions ol the jwpular conventions, and, through unlimited promises and a monter pitronage, have induced the Heimsof the Stale Legislatures to domineer the in. lament of the people. Purses and prizes of all rts and sizes hve been distribute! amon the-e supple henchmen; and in the glow of a premature and spurious triumph, this whole crowd of virtuous expectants and crammed employees arraign the patriotism of every loyal man whose independence questions their audacious programme. With voices thick with luxury and fee, they denounce all canvass of the man the? name; and wrn off exposition with the charge that it furn'hea arguments, for the future, to the eoemy. Our view of this portion of thecse. however, is different from theirs. We do not believe that peronle:ted for local legislative furpoe have a riht to cotütitute themselves nto nominating bodies; and imreover, having held our peace, for very loyalty, t;n DOw. we intend t deveh.pe all the arguments adintl tl ee Bourbon and the'r candidate which the dis'.oyal opvifitioin will wa-e with tenfold lu'schiel. if uuUapily 1 e should be nominated TLeir crlt, uniting wtüi our sensitive concern, have, thus lar, drawn a veil over his defects: but it is our pitripüc duty now to draw it off Lot to leave the

Lom.r.ation, may mane sl? one ci tfir king et will, we wtil it down with the coi.sciousne of a most uccrFs'ul rrformance of our duty. It il already certain that their criminal idea was to dispense with a convention, ana nom inate their eacdidate by Ie':Utive acclamation. Weed engineered this clan ar.d Seward touched the public wiib it ligbilv ia bis Auburn speech; but, eliciting an ir-sULtaneotn alarm frosa us and others, the rLt was tuddenl? abandoned. The mor.er. l.owerer, bad been laid oat upon the pro ject, ted the machinery was parti j in nsotioc; eo it was regulated to another tfort and allowed to explode itelf in the desultory nominations we hear from day to day, and which msy now he recotnlied as the mere blank cartridges of the original design. But thee mill cot mceced. Mr. Lincoln has not demonstrated himself to the country either as a Lycurgus or an Alexander. All that he claims to popularity belongs in greater degree to others ihfi hirnelf; and not one sound reaon ran be given why he thould be preferred to Chase, Fre mnnt or Butler, or a dozen others whom anv loval man can count onon hisfiuzera' ends. The claim that the wholesome observation of the or.e term principle should give place in his behali might have some force were he a second Bona parte and leading our armies in the field ; but. in asmuch as he is not Dotcnt in the field (as Flor id bears witness), and as his chief generalship consists in iokin. we do not see that he is indis pensb1e to the momentous leadership of this serious and manly time. The opposition will be vigorous and its candidste inord formidable. We commend the? views to the loyal judg went of the country, and rercctfu!ly uj:ces that, instead of Lincoln and his reactionary Bourbons. e select from the- best intellects of the Republic, the man who represents most lirclf tne progressive genius nut uuij ui iue 'is but of our grander future. That man is certainly not Abraham Lincoln Tlie Ilattlcnl aelve Ijooae I'urty. Ccrmun from tli Cut Tli em llepttbllcnta The Buffalo Commercial (Republican.) utters some savaze "words of warning to GancLiy and those who with him are arraying the ultra radic t winsof the Kepublican party in such deadly hostility to Lincoln that it will be impossible for them to support him in case of his nomination by the Baltimore Convention. It talks of sharp retribution upon those who through ignorance or design shall come between Union tncu and their great purpose;" "their names will become a his ing and a reproach;" "political tricksters and schemers muit take warning iu time," &c , &c It concludes: "Wc are aware that wo speak strongly, but we believe none o strongly. But a few diys ago, in the Bonier Stite Convention at Louisville, a representative radical (Jernnn, Hon. Casper Butz, of Chicago, declared that the radical Germans had cut themselves looe from the Kepublican party. He dated that they did not separate from their American fellow citizens in conscrpience of any nativistic prejudice, or to oppose their op;nions, but in otticr to more fully discus, in their own mother tongue, the principles which thef wirh to adopt; and knowing full well that they, alone and ep rate 1 from their American fellow citizens, could never have nny political influence' the? resolved to go alwavs us an independent auxiliar? with that party that would adopt a plattorm of principles etinilar to those that they themselves had laid down." The German radicals of the West have "cross el the Rubicon" against Lilcolx. It is stated that two of these organs in St. Louis have hoisted the name of Fbemont an their candidate for the Presidency. Not Vkby HorHL " Monadnock," the regular London correspondent ol the New ork Times, an intensely Republican hhect, thinks that "to conquer six millions of freemen, and make freemen of four millions of slaves, is not the work of a day," and he suggests that "if it should require aa many years as there are freemen to conquer or slaves to free, it would be no more unreasonable calculation. It may cost more money than it would have done to buy the whole four millions of negroes, with half the whites thrown in." The Times should look to its correspondents. This one is clearly "dislovnl." Wlirtt Then I Men shrink from looking into the future. They find fault with those who insist on questioning the effect of present policy on the nation's des tiny. The rebellion must be put down. To this all airree; but what then? This question is esteemed ill timed, coppcmdi, disloyal. The voice of the dominant parly overpowers the voice of the earnest lover of his country, who asks anx I- .u. , .......... ,.r 1. IOUSIV w llilt 13 LO iuuun mc su((ic.-3i'm v i mv- j rebellion. "Whit business is it of ours now?" they say; "what rii'ht have vou to interrupt the j c rushing of the rebellion by suggesting that there is any other question?" The rebellion is a terrible curse, a grand evil. a hue crime. It must be got rid cf. But there t are oihcr curses, other evils, other crimes. A disease in the human body is a great evil. But the pha?ioian is a murderer who directs his whole hklli to suppressing the die se. and pavs no nttenton to preserving the constitution. Many diseases might be suddenly M.d wholly driven out of the stem bv doses of arsenic. Many a terrible sweUinir or tumor micht be eradicated by a free ; use of the knife, but the blood and the life might' follow the knife. Fevers might be cured by rem vl p that would briti:r bodilv weikr.e-s ana cer- i tain death so:n afterward. Shall wc crush a re . - bei lion in ..I, .,a tn ,tn.tr.ir ib v t:il stern, when it can be done otherwise? Shall we; carrv on this war so as to come out ot it weak- j eued, irapoveri-hed, with a terrible loa! of debt ! and a terrible load of sectional hatred and bitter ! ncss. and without that compact, hearty, healthy j condition of the nation which is necessary to en able us to recover even ordinary strength? The life blood of our country is the affection ol the people for the Union; and if this affection fails, blood fails, ami the body dies. Temporary alienation may be cured, but if we seek to cure it by raeaus calculated to make the alienation permanent, we are not likely to benefit the pystem by our experiment. The work can be accomplished without this tesult. Why not be wise in time? Men may seek to slide these questions, but they are seizing fast hold on the minds of the people. It is plain as the noonday fun that if the policy ot the present Administration is continued into another lour years, we have seen the end of the American Union. Mr. Lincoln and his advisers cm never restore that Union to life and he Ith. nor cm they build up a new Constitution to replace tb tt which they are destroving. They cuitiot sue the life of the nttion If we are to trust to them, it may as well be confessed to day as it will certainly be confessed text je.ar, th it the old Union is gone, and forever, and that thrir new government will be a weak and woith less experiment. Why cloe our ei es to the-e J solemn truths? The principle of who.esale atolition and confiscation, founled on the idea of conquering and enverninc a conquered people millions of Americans, is contrary to the spirit of free institutions. It i poisou in the blood of the Union. It is death to republican government The one tenth plan of Mr. Lincoln, by which one rum is to govern nine, and ot.e-teiilh cf the population are to elect representatives, electors, legislator ai:d governors for the whole population, wiellirg the old power of the whole, as if all weie acting this plan is in direct violation of American principles and of moral rij;ht. It is direct!) hostile to the ccr.titutioml puarai tee of republican forms of govern meet. At best the one-tenih ou-ht not to elect more than one tenth ot the representatives ought not l be wielding the power of more than one tenth of the population. How would free principles survive the heck of btholding the one-tet.th of the population of Virgin' balancing in the House of Representatives, the votes cd five Northern State, and ten times their number of Northern voters? The idea is not only aS?urd.but is a deidly thrust at the whole fabiicof our government. But what if that be permitted, srd ttie one tenth do make a re State Conti:ntion for the tine tenths, a.s the abaolule. iicoktroi erUhie law of the Stite, are those nine tenths ever likely to be cheerful lovers ot tho Union? It is ti?e!es to dUcuM thi piau. It is too pUitdy cou raryjto

the fuifd i mental principles of our government to command the reject even of the ciot devoted

olUwrr of the who invented it. Whit sort of n free covernment will the Ur.ited States be when reconstructed on this plan? New York, wi:h lier million of freemen, will find ber84.ll cut voted and oui-weighel in both houses of Conre by other States wuh one-tenta of ber own numbers, and tut tenia will be partly or wholly neero. if the dominant party csrry out consistently Its present avowed polic) ! Does any e imagine that that will be a union which Northern men or Southern men will love, will .2 to. will fight for? Was it sacb a Union as that, which we hate poured out our treasures of Doner and life to saver How will such a Urion ray the Icterest on thousands of millions ot debt? How pay the deM? If the present pohcy is pursued the war will lat for yetrs, aad only terminate in an armed occucation. equivalent to a constant war, with expenses annually footic up hundreds of millions. We want no unwilling union, no mere conquered submission to carry out such a debt as ours will be. We must have a cordial, hearty, wiliing union, or we are bankrupt, ruined. Our nation, united willingly, can carry more debt than an? other reoDle. and can pay it. Our nation, Dicified bv the confiscation of Southern property the extirpation or disfranchisement of Southern men. cannot carrv that debt. The first element of doubt and d inger will be the existence of States unpledged to pay the debt, and mortgaged to it onlv bv one-tenth ol their people. I oe lit ture is biz with other forms of discord, with other elcmeDts of national disease, and if the nation be not healthy and willing they will breathe out as ulcers here and there. It is vain to close our eyes to thec truths. The rebellion must bo put down, but it must be put down in such a way as to leave the nation with vitality, energy and hope. Under the present policy there is no future of union. A new poTernmcut, a new Con stitution, a new firm of Union, a new principle of unit? all these go into the radical calculation, but nil these fail to show anything but a wreck of the old American Union in the radical view of the future. Men of America, ' rouse yourselves to the truths we have set before you. Awake before it ii t'o late. The opportunity to return to the safe policy is before us in the coming electiou. Let us e back. Let us present to the ?ast population of the South the ol J Union and old Constitution for their acceptance, with the rights of the Stites unimpaired. Let the principles of the Crittenden resolutions be studied carefully and adopted heartily. The present dis ea-e of the nation is rebellion. Let that disease be eradicated without introducing new forms of internal ruffeiinsr aud complaint. Let us act as millions of men talking to millions of men should act if they w ould exercise ordinary common gense based on the experience of nations in all the centuries. Out of this terrible strait the nation may be brought, free, ennobled, strong, to resume her old pathway of glory and beneficence. Rebellion will h ive received a lesson which will prevent its hideous form from again rising for a century, either iu New England or in the South. But if we go on as now, the very principle established will be m favor of new rebellions whenever any pirt of the people become insano over some fanatical nation of reform. fN. Y.

Audacity is at present the desperate policy, political and military, of the totteiing Lincoln dynasty. Boldness, intrepidity and fearlessness do not more characterize it thin impudence, effrontery and presumptuousncss. The motto of Danton, to "Dare," is attempted to be practiced to avert his fate, the guillotine. In tho political programme of the Abolitionists they seem to calculate I irgely not only on the utter helpless ness of nil domestic adversaries, but upon an utterly debased state of the public mind at the North. This is most strongly illustrated by the Jecla ration that n loyal sutlYace in disloyal States, onctenth that of "lbt0, can remodel, under certain provisions, their Constitutions, and restore them to the Union, the votes of Federal soMurs ani negroes bei:i! authorized to tft'e'-t it There may be r.o er sibility left nmorg the Northern masses on the sul jccl of political and personal rights, or the theories of government. The lawless, tyrannical and ruinous actions of their Government m iy sometimes be talked of, lamented, and even protested against. But there ems o be no apprehension tint these actions may meet with general condemnation, or want of practical support, or of their bt-in" defeated bv , I . ? . . I . .! n? popui r upiurmng or revolution oy lorcenowever tiiev m iv inreitcii mh-i i uui uui? of tlie principles, but even the form of the old Government. The mme desperate policy is manifested in their military operations. Bounties are I ivi-hly offered to facilitite recruiting. Startling ad vances, vaunting the most wonderful accomplishments, far surpassing the up-hill march of the Duke of Yotk with his twice ten thouind mpn, both in their temerity and want of performance, are repeated in various quarters to divert and re assure the Northern masses. But reaction we regard as by no meins hopeless, or even distant, at the North. Protracted, obstinate resistance at the S uth would of itself occasion languor, as it is already producing, frm a hopelessness of our speedy subjugation. But Southern victories this spring, attended with fi nancial collapse, now threatening, nod which would assuredly be thus precipitated, and the ex citement of the Presidential election, would in fallibly occasion an internal shock that would culminate in widespread revolution, and per haps result in anarchy. Anticipating such catastrophes, we see it stated by the New York correspondent of a London piper thit "there are eminent and thoughtful men, and not in insignificant numbers, if they dared apper, who. powerless to arret the onward m in h of the blundering multitude to ruin, hive prayed for salvation to come to the North bv Svithern victoties or foreign intervention, or anvthing that will bring the war to a close in any wav." T-i Sorts or Pkace The following ex tracts from a late speech by the newly elected Senator (Walker.) Irom Alabama, graphically depicu the horrors of subjugation and the ehame of any issue to the war short of independence. The Memphis Appeal says these eloquent words happily accord with sentiments of that di tincuished son of Georgia, Gen. Cobb, who has recentlv done so murh cood service to the country in arousing the people to a truo sense of the great dangers which menice us We aie here frankly told the truth that thequestion of success or subjugation depends hp-m ourselves. There is no h-.'pe in foreign inter ention, there is no hope in the conservatism of the North, there is no hope in in;erver.tion through the State-, there is no h'r in peace resolutions, there is do hope in aty thing save in stout aims and brave hearts Let thee ueer be wanting. We all long for i-eaee, Mr. President; but no man at thi board, I trut, will willingly live to s?c the peice which will follow ruhjjgation. Enrile?s war, wi.h all its horrors, were better than euch peace as that. If, indeed, the people of these Cotiff lente States are doomed to fiual defeat in their attempt to maintain the right of self jovcrnmcnt if it is to be their hard faU to aid

ancthrr member to the wretched family of conqucred ract. no survivor of this ftrunule. wuh a heart of flesh beneath his r:? s, would ever desire to rr,e:i ate the secrets of the future, which ihe peace that mut follow ubjugatiou will have m store for u. For if he is at ail acquainted with humaa history, he will kcow that he would behold In that dtk future such scenes of suffering and humiliation and dcndatioa for himself asd his children, and his children's children, as would

make bim curae the day that he was oorn, etil uDon the mounuii to cover hirr. and Fladicg ordinary laccuape inadequate purpose, be will have to call upon a pro to the -het of old for words to describe the vision which puch a future will present to his aihi: "Ihe ertn mourneth and Iar.guijheih, Lebanaa is ashamed and hewn down. Sharon is like a wilderness. Ther that feel delicately are desolate in the street?, they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. They ravished the women of Zion and the maids of the city of Judah. They took the youn men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. The joy of our heart is ceased, our dancing is tamed into mourning. The crown has fallen from our head." Whether the peace that cloes thi war shall be te glorious and honorable peace which independence brings, or the fgnomlrious peace which follows subjugation, depends not upon our enemies, but upon o jrsclves. The final issue of this contest will determine what maoner of men we are. If we are indeed worthv of libertv. if we are re solved to be free, the day of deliverance and independence, though it may be deferred, is certain. We have in the territory still occupied by ocr irms twice the population and more than ten times the resources our ancestors had when, through greater privations than any we have endured, they won their way to independence; and if the peopJe of these Confederate States are not prepared to shame the lineage from whence they sprung, lost battle fields and overrun districts will not shake their firm resolve, or alter their putpoe; but in the midst of thickening disasters their proud hearts and mmd? spirits will enable them to leei themselves, and show to their enemie3 and to the wotld that though for a season the field be lot, all is not los-t there yet remain "The unconquerable will And courage never to mbtnit or yield." which must sooner or later work our deliverance, and give us an honorable ;!ace among the nations of the eirlh.

Four persons were buried in that town on Friday last who bad died from it, and our informant state that four other could not possibly live through Friday night. A number of new ca?es were reported. Di sTßiCTiVK Fire at Fejivkli.v Yesterday about noon a destructive fire broke out at Franklin , Johnson county, which resulted in the loss of a fine block of four business houses. The property burned whs on the main street and in the center of bu.-ine??. The principal fulIVieis were Dr. Moore, drug store; lr. Alfxandkr, hardware store; a furniture 6tnro, (the owner's name we could not learn.) and the siloon of Mr. Wright.

The MmnrRs at Orleans, Indiana. We published on Tuesday an account of the probable murder nt Orleans, Indiana, by a number of soldiers of the 24th Indiana regiment, of a man named McCart giving uch particulars as we weie able to gather at the time. Since that time both McCart and Fari?h, his assailant, hive died. We learn the followins facts in regard to the matter from gentlemen of undoubted veracity, who witnessed the terrible affair: " When tlie train ou which the 2-1 :h regiment had takeu passage was about starting from Orleans, l'arish and another soldier jumped from it, declaring they would "hull some butternuts before leaving the town " They started up the street and soon came upon a crowd of men standina together, talking in a quiet and orderly manner. Parish, being drunk, stepped up to McCart and :hked him if he was a butternut, to which McCart replied that he was not. Parish then said. "You are a d d Vnllandin-hammcr." McCart replied, "Well, what of it?" ParMi thereupon, without further words pas-ing, knocked McCart down, nd as he attempted to rise he rontimipd to knock him dow n, until hif had thus prostrated him four times. McC'irt finally rcpined his feet, and drawing Ms knife ?tabbd Parish three times, inflicting fatal injuries Parish dying the next morning. McCart escaped and went a tew miles into the country, but several citizens followed him, and he gave hiiu-elf tip to undergo an examination on charge of manslaughter. The mm who left the train with Parish at once et out for Mitchell, where the 21th Indiana regiment had arrived and were waiting transpoiution to Evansville. He told his companions what had h-ippened, and taking twelve or tifteenof them at once returned to Oilcans, where they f mud McCart in the store of one of the merchants of the town, and with pistols, knives stirks of wood, and other mi??eN, attacked him, snd beat and -tabbed, Hnd stamped him in a most I rural mi 1 horrible manner, killing him. Eye witnesses lepresent it as or.e of the mot atroeiou, cold blooded murder ever perpetrated, the fiendish brutality displayed chilling the blood, and ihe bubirisni evidenced being almost unpar alleled in. the history of crime. The soldiers were aided in this bloody affair by a citizen named 1'cr.jiniu Wright, who his been arrested und is now held in 23.(HH) bond for a hearing on the 15th The soldiers escaped, and are now with their regiment at Ev.msv'ule. Horace Heffren. Esq , of Salern, has been employed fr- defend Wright, nnd Carlton ami Cof.fo. of Itedford, prosecute the cae. There is in-t?n-e excitement in regard to tlie murder at Orleans Connected with the ietth of McCart is one circumstance which is as dbtrrarelul as the murder it-elf. Hi foo'fy was taken to the Christian burial ground near Orleans, far interment, but it was ilcniei fepul.ure by the church fit-cause, as it was alleged, '"it would banMnsuit ti the sold ers" to allow it a resting place n the sacred p t claimed by these "patriotic" Pharisees.
