The friend of the administration nave always held that a victory at the rUs was of more value to them than a victory iu the field. A UarcBLicAX Oovcaxoa ox Axvy Joiikos Got. Ruckinoham, of Connecticut, has issued a proclamation for a fa-t day in which he refers to the crying tic of the day, among them enumerating the "incoherence" of Andv Johnbo: The oith of b lelity to the constitution and to high official daty, has reccntlv been taken with stammering tongue, in the presence of and to the reproach of the American f-op!e. "So much for Bickixguam." Grand Combinations. The magnitude, intricacy and weight of UraDt's combination against the rebellion are the grandest the world has ever witnessed. They are on a scale commensurate with our great country: like our prairies, they are broad; like onr mountains, vat; like our rivers, they reach across half a continent. At the present moment Columns of troops ate moving forward in various directions. Home are goiDg eist, some wc?t, some south, and rome north, but all, in whatever direction they are going, are in reality moving upon Lee in Richmond. Terry, when he landed upon the tongue of land between Cape Fear river and the ocean, and when his men swarmed over the parapets of Fort Fish er, assaulted an outwotk of Richmond. Richmond was in the mind of tbe lieutenant general when be ordered Thomas to assault iiood at Nashville. Grant himself has lain about the rebel capital holding the chief confederate army la bis grasp, aod bas inveuted and directed movements all bavirg for their object the securing of the game which be holds within his toil. To-dav the public begin to understand operations which at first seemed isolated and ele-s attempts. Tbe grandest of all these was Sher man's; and yet, when that commenced, it was . thought by many a retreat, and by others a foolhardy adventure, which, if successful, oflered no substantial and few moral advantages. But now we see its results and are prepared to appreciate its greatness. Before it the railroad system of the south those formidable interior lines bas vanished, and ia place of a confederacy whose distant and numerous strategic points were united with bands of irou. there remains only a wilderness. When Sherman left Savannah and turned bis steps northward, Richmond began to loom up in the distance, and people began to ee that be was not occupied simply in proving that the "confederacy is ft hell." All the devious roads that he bad followed were seen to centre in the capital of the confederacy. As be advanced, be obliterated the railroids of the Atlantic states and cut off from the rebels all lines of escape or of rein forcemeat. At the proper moment an advance was made upon W ilmington, and oa the very day that Sherman reached Ool lsboro with his sup plies exhausted, Schofield met him on a line that he bad opened cp to the ocean. The supreme wisdom of (irant is seen in a thousand of the details which bare been devel oped within tbe Ust two or three months. Ho did not attack Charleston, because be knew that Charleston would fall when Sherman touched its flank at Branchville. He did not attack Wil sningtoo, becau it could well be turned by Sherman, and because its possession was essential as a ba of supplies when Sherman had penetrated a certain distance in bia northward march. And exactly as Slierman reached thtt point, be met tbe supporting column, with their hard tack, and ammunition, and reinforcements, that bad come by way of Wilmington. To-day there remain two vitalized point in the eis-Mississippi confederacy Mobile and Richmond. Around tbe former is gathered a foroe that holds it, while a column of 2J.00O men is beiring duwn on its communications, at oncu cutting it off from succor or escape. A few weeks at furthest, aod then starvation or surren der. Around the latter place is Grant, with a grip of steel anon the rebel army. From the west, through the mountains, there comes a (orcn of eighteen tto ;ai d bcrjcmea, who destroy, as they advance. tbi western aveau of escape from Richmond. From the south there tdvacce one hundred and twenty thousand men under Sherman, who hr the only venue of escape or held for Lee These are Grant's combinations, and they are rear coaiiummation Chicas;o Times.

What each man may do, beyond the mere demands of the authorities upon bim, is as much a daty as to re pond to tb0ie denard?since the enemy h the foe of each individual man, and is dome nil he can for each individual man's destruction. Taking this view of the war the correctne-s of wbicb cannot be denied, we conceive that it ia a very inadequate apprcciaiion ot tbe interest each man has in the iäue, and of the rociprocal obli gation of ech to each never to give way, for any one to siy, as has teen and of late by one irom hose trumpet a less uncertain round rhould have come, "I have always held that we ought to maintain tbe struggle lor independence so lone aa there is hope of auccea. The reneralin chief and the president of the confederate states, as the highest military authorities are best able to understand our resources and pros pect!. While they hare hope in the contest, it eems to me thst we should do all in our power to strengthen their hands. Isthat all: Is it that we "ought" to maintain the struggle, not that we must? Aod only while there is "hope of fucccsai Wby, what bop i there without success : and wbv not fight on,' even ia despera tion, alter hope bad filled? ould it be better. hope having failed, lo yield or become slaves, or fall, aword in band, fighting for freedom?

In tbo last hours of its session, the House of Representatives was thrilled bv the words, tremulous with sge and earnestness, of a grav haired patriot from Ten who decUred thai for bims-lf, hi delegalion tnj f täte, the issue, perfectly compre bended, and deliberately accepted, was indepen dence or annihilation. in tnose words me resolution of an intrepid and fiery soul found utter ance resolution which, if it were shared by all our public men, would ptamp the assurance ot our success w ith the teal of lato. To euch na tures it does not "seem" that they "should i!r all in thip rmvp In frml hn fh Vtnrwia n Qlht gQ lo 2 those olhef8 .. hate hoM but instead, there is the ever-present, all consuming. omnipotent purpose to fight it out to victory or death, as their own fight, involving all that is dear to them, and regardless of whit the general in chiel or the presioent may tnink ol " our resources and prospects." Such men only are the fit companions of so grand and momentous a cause as that which involves the fate of a whole rice a noble as the southern race has shown it self to be. Alas' that here should be snv, look el to aa leaders in it, who cannot exalt them selves to this high ground. Consulting "military authorities" and looking to "resources" as a question in military science, it might well have been doubted whether the struggle in which we are engaged should ever be undertaken. Military science is, in the main, the science ot mathematics. It deals with ma terial forces, and it tenches that two bodies com ing in col Iii ion. tbe lighter and weaker must give way to the heavier and the stronger. One of our most distinguished generals, in a tieatisc on the"artof war," commeuces bysaying: "Tbe whole science of war may be briefly defined as tbe art of placing m the right position, at the right time, a mw of troops greater than jour enemy can there oppose to vou." That is, tbe whole science of war consists in being stronger than your adversary. Tested, then, by the seiencewith which our "highest military authorities" are mot familiar, tbe southern states, being far below these of the north in men and resources for war, should never have engaged them. As a military problem.to be decided by the teachings of books and schools, there is no telling when milita ry men mar decide that there is no ground for hope. To the military critic it may eeera that we are cot only inevitably doomed, but that we arc now whipped. If ao, we repudiate military au thority In the matter; and we Should repudiate it, with onr whole mind, soul and strength, even though the illustrious and venerated general-in chief should give tbe weight of bis great nam tr tna nmninn V innn n aim pnnmal We should still counsel people wbo. knowing nothing of tbe axioms and wincbles of war aa an art. would knw. nevertheless, that they had means, and muscle, and manhood remaining that tbey had homes to defend from destruction, wives and isters and mothers from pollution, children from lives of wretchedness. degradation and slavery; we should still counsel snch a people to resist, to the last man wbo could raise an arm, bad it strength enough only to take bis own life, and thus ex tineuish the race. As a mihtarv question, we may be whipped, may be so already. Who m knows? We do not pretend to a knowledge of the con clusions which are reached by studying war as a science or an art. 2io ur.l'tarr man, we are glad to say, has ventured to assert that we are whipped, or to predict that we will be. liut we do know that as a question of fact we are not whipped, and we do believe with the intensity cf a perfect conviction that we never will be. ilor ally, politically, as a question of human capsbil itv. as a nnesti'on of bnmanitv. as one involving the future of the loftiest race on earth, as a ques ' - . . - . "I tion shone upon and illuminated by examples of successful heroism in all sge and I amis, we do know that we are not whipped and we do believe we never will be. And on tbce accounts, and in thce respect, we will never leave it to mor tal man, how highsoever he may be on military questions, and however well acquainted with our "resources and prospecu. to say when the con test shall be abandoned. For it can ccver be abandoned without worse ensuing than w.ar.evcu were it ten-fold as onerous and calsmitou a this war is. TUf Nt'iRO AS AMILJOEATEP BT L AVtRY AB HI TIOX TtTlM3XT. Frta The Richmond Dispatch. A great deal of superfluous eathenstn is wasted bv the northern newspsper correspond ents over the fine qualities and attributes of the negro race as it is found at the south. All the complimentary things tbey sy of the-e Africans afford us no rew idei. and if their object is to irritate ai.d rrovoke. fall fit short of the nm. Tha cilures were biouLl Lere barbarians; such s tbev are no they bve become under the mild and refining li;fiucnre of aoutbern serv itude. While th or rtherw Alr:cn. according in the confession cf The Ne York Tribuce'i Charleston correspondent, is inferior to tbe southern African: while, uider the influence of freedom, he has beoae deraoralizfd and impiv erished, ami isgraduilly reUp-ing to primitive batbailsm; here, crer t' e ir.fiueccc e-f slavery. he has ascended in i!ie -i e of c.viliIat:on ar.d Christianity. There has never bceu that intense contempt of tha nerro i?i the sjuth which everywhere in the north finds expres.-ion in coarse ridicule of bi color and rhvs'cal co.rormti He has alwavs bad our Sympathie, a well as shared our bread, and there is even a tie of affection and confidence between tbe white and African members ot southLrn households which is not to be found either in the north, or in tbe relations of employer and laborer ia any other part of tbe world.

The judge advocate here read from tbe 5th ar ticle ot ritual of O. S L. " Sovereignty resides in and with the people of the states re?pectively, which are parlies to tbe constitution of the United States. It can not be alienated, neither can it be delegated. Some of its powers may bo exerciaed by delegated au tbority, while otheis cauno: be so exercised, ex cept at the sacriSce in part of the constitution of all that lends dignity to man i relation to govern ment." Question Was that one of the principles of the order, as yon understood it t Answer I would not have 60 worded it, but that ia tubstantially our declaration of principles. standing as a whole. There are thirteen of them, but wby there were thirteen I do not know, ex cept from the thirteen original dUtes; they are part of one whole, and they arc just as proper as the platform of any republican or democratic meeting ever held. The judge advocate then read: " The government designated the United States of America has co sovereignty, because that is au attributo belonging to the people in their' respective ptate organization, and with which they have not endowed that corcniment & their common agent." Q. Is that correct? A. Thit is sound doctrine. Those are my opinion, and they were those of the old demo cratic tartv ot the revolution: that there is no . vit.-ciKui7 .u tu Äucruiucuk. uu iuc the preraacv; that is the old constitutional demo cratic right oi I7yy that to the extent of its powers it was supreme, any law of the constitu tion or state to the contrary notwithstanding The federalists believed that the people, as a whole, were the constituents of the federal gov em men t. Q Then, iti the event of the oflicers of the government exercMng powerä not delegated, are they to be regarded and deilt with as usurp ers? A. Tbey could not be called anythiDC else, and should be regarded and dealt with as usurpers That U an abstract proposition, which I rccog nize aä an abstract truth, and which, five years ago. ho would be a boid man who would can it in question. The practical application of it is a very different thing. hen they were to be usurpers, and wh; were to judge, and who precribe the dealing, were very different things. There were fimplv the ger.:tl enunciations of principles that are common to all parties, from the establishment of the government down, that whenever authorities went bejood their constitu ted rights, they became usurrers, by taking in powers not belonging to them, and were to be dealt with; but when, how, and under what cir cumstances, is another question. I have given the contingency under which I considered it right to resort to revolution. Q Does not that order state üben they are to be cor sidered usurpers, and bow tbey are to be treated? Art.cle IU reads, "Whenever the cm cialg, to whom the people have intrusted the pow ers ol the government, shall refuse to adminis ter in strict accordance with its constitution, and shall assume and exercise power or authori ty not delegated, it is the inherent right and imperative duty of the people to resist such officials, and if needs be, expel them by forceof arms. A. That idea and doctrine are borrowed from the Declaration cf Independence, and are re Cded as sound American doctrine, and have been since this government was established TheJ are doctrines, and I have never endeavored to carry them out. because the oc casion has not arisen. It simply prescribes the genet al principles, and nothing further iney are aostract principles, like those in moral or mental philosophy, or religion or any thing else. Q. Who was to determine when the occasion existed? A. It was a subject to be determined by the highest authority of the crganizttion, the Su prerae Council. Q. Then whenever they determined that the government was exercising powers cot delegated, had the contingency then happened upon which the were to take UP rm,? A. I proclaim and avow, that when it comes to that contingency, it is tbe duty of the people, fr the resson that we have a peaceable mode of making a revolution; that it is better to sub mit to the loss of every right, if vou will only affirm that peaceable mode of revolutionizing the government I mean the use of arms if that right was questioned. And co man, till within the last three years, has been called to ac count for any such tatemn ol anv abstract principle. U Who. then, was to determine when the order would take un aim to resist the federal authorities? A. The contingency would have arrived with the destruction of the right of election; then, as American citizens, I say the people have a right, and it is their duty, to resist. Q. Does this in anv way confine it to interfe rence with elections? Does cot this raragraph expressly state. "Whenever the government was exercising undelegated powers?" . i j i . i ? -1A. li is a general ueciaraiion oi principle, is a precisely like the creed, "l oer.eve in tne r atner and the son," w hich defines no general doctrine, but is an abitrac creed of belief. Q. D'-e this piricrsrh corfir.e it to elections? A. It docs ujt. Q. If it did not confine it to elections, when ever that supreme council determined that the contingency bad happened, ws it generally understood thut this Ux!j was to take up arms? A That was tbe natural conclusion, but it was never a subject of even speculation in tie t order. i Did you ever hear any member of thia order who did not say that tbe government was excerci-ing undelegated powers? A. That was tbe ordcion of the Democratic party universally, as well as tbe organizttion It was slo. if I mi-take r.ot, the opi ion of Fremcnt. Winter Divis, Benjamin Wade, and a great many republicans, too. I have no donbt that, as an abstract proposition, that tbey should be expelled by force of arms, and I think every member of the order, fire years ago, would have given the same seswer. Q I it your doctrine that when the Government is exercising powers not delegated, it is the right of tb people to resist Puch official, and exptl them by force of arms? A. It is my opinion, and it was the opinion of .resident of tbe Unite! States iu 154, for be has laid it down very much more emphatically, and it was once suggested that wc accept his de nnition. Q Have you ever heard any one, save members of this ctder. say that it was a legitimate mode of revolutionizing and changing tbe powers that be of this government, except bv ballot? A. 1 have, many a time. I have beard it all my life time; from tbe time I can recollect anything, as an abstract principle, recogn;zed, I suppose, by ail American citizens, but I never have attempted, directly or ind rectly, to carry it iuto practice. Q. You ay, do you, that the members of tbe order held the same doctrine? A Yes sir; I suppose tbey did

y Were those members of tbe surreme council elected by tho subordinate lodgei? A. Yes, sir. Q Did cot those who were chosen refect tbe doctrines of those who chose tbem? A. I presume tbey di J. Q State then how. In the ere n of the people by whom they were cboscn, deciding thit the government was exercising powers cot delegated, and were usurpers, and should be expelled by tbe upreme council, wbo wa to decico that the conticgeccy bad arrived! . A. It would be decided just as the United States democratic convention that was called together by Gov. Wichlifle. cf Kentucky, would have decided, had it rome together to deliberate and act In tbe event that those in authority sup pressed elections, and decided by rrociamawon to remain in pover. Q. Tb judge advocated quoted from the 10th article of the ritcal of the 0. S L. "Whenever

the officials td whom tbe people have intrusted the powers of tbe government shall refuse to ad minister it in strict accordance with its constitu tion, and shall autr: or exercise power or au thority cot delegated, it is the inherent right and imperative duty of tbe people to resist such officials, and, if ceed be, expel them by force of arms Such resistance is cot revolution, but is solely the assertion of right." Is that a doctrine to which you can subscribe? A. 1 hat is the old American ooctrine of Jefferson. "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." It is the doctrine of every American ci ti xen, and is tbe doctrine of the democratic party from the first. Q. How were they to resist the authorities? A. That is a question never discussed. Q. How was it understood in the order? A. It was not understood, because the contingency had never npproached near enough for di3CU?10Q. Q Do you claim that the government was being exercised in accordance with the constitution? A My speeches of late are all the o'ber way; but I never carried out ray opinions into positive action. Q. Do you believe in the general principle that when tbe authorities exercise powers not delegated, that they are to be removed by lone of arms? A. As au hbstract right, I do; but 1 never believed that the contingency bad anivod. Rut these are the principles, I presume, entertained by every member of the order, as well as by every democrat, and every American citizen. But I understand that every American citizen bas tbe right to entertain any opinions, provided be does not carrv them into action.

The Northern Indiana Frison The newly elected botrd of contnd for the Northern Indiana Prison succeeded last Friday in flanking tbe old board and obtaining possesion of the institution.. How it was accomplished we are cot advised, except that the tactics of Grant were made available in cutting of the enemy's pup plies. The auditor of state, restrained by legal uotiee. could not audit any bills, And as demo cratic officials, however tcmciou, of ofli:e, cannot tubstfct on half rations, they raided irtueof necessity and surrendered.

Revival in Ntw Castle A Mr. Ch ance, alias The Buckeye Broad Axe, hm deen lecturing In New Castle upon the subject of temperance, the result of which was the formation of a league or joint stock company to suppress the liquor trade The orgtuizition raises the einews of war by an assessment upon ti e Stock subscribed. The Courier sirs: "After the books were opened on Wednesday evening over $10,000 were pledged in about half sn hour, which Is regarded as only a beginning." The following is the plan of organization: TUB ARSON LÜAOLE A PLAN FOR THE hLTfRtSSI0N Or VN LAWFUL Titanic IN INT0XICATINQ LIQUORS. Whereas, The sale and use of alcoholic liquors is au evil of the first magnitude, extending its withering and baleful influences, directly or indirectly through all tbe ramifications of society; and Whereas, amid all its black crimes and calamities, this evil presents no redeeming quality; And whereas, moral suasion has been brought to bear upon tbe vendors of spiritous liquors without accomplishing tho desired end, while on the other hand our arguments, and apncalj and remonstances have beeu answered by insult and injury, and the horrors and crimes of which we complain have become intolerable, and we have been brought to a point where we mu3t cither ingloriously surrender to the enemies of our common good and the human r ce, or ri-ing iu our might, adopt speedy ar.d effective means to check and destroy forever the ungodly traffic in our midt; therefore Kesolvcd, That it is tbe boucJen duty of all good citizens to combine for the suppression of the traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Ke-olved, That in order to abate the evil,' we unitedly pie Ige to each other, aud to all who will come to our aid, to give our entire personal influence," upoti tbe following basis, viz; , The formation of a league for the purpose of enforcing tbe laws cf the stste of Indiana, against ail wrongful selling and drinking of in toxicating liquors in New C.stle, Indiina.or in its vicinity; therefore We, the un ler-igned, d r rotate to pay the sums set to our names, or such per centum, not to exceed two per cent, per annum, upon the capital stock by u.s subscribed; that when ten thousand dollars tlull have been subscribed in shares of twenty-five dollar eat h.tbe stockholders shall elect a board of directors, whose duty it shall be to m-iV a the as-es-iments, collect the same ai.d erap!-. he men and means to enforce the laws of Ind!.. .iasunstill unlawful selling and driLk'cg in t! e town cf New Ci'le, Henry countv. It Is the intention to form similar associations all over the state of Ii iiana, for the purpo-e of making a combined i poweilul tfl'jrt to prohi bit by legal enactment- the fellisg and Irickicg of intoxicating liquors The New York Tribune sives currency to i - - j the following item: j Oi Mondy Ut a boy presented hiraelf at the counter of Jay Cooke L C, iu Philadelphia, j and sid that he wanted to invest $10,000 in sevcn thirties. He uncovered that amount of mon- ! ey from his perlen in greenbacks and notes cf ! Ohio and lr.diir.a bicks. It oou trüpirel that he lived ia the western pirt cf ledum, and desiring to invent in the govern inent loan, and ' thinking with n pru-ifnt sicoflicity that it would i be aalest to get bis bonds tight from Jay Cooke's i own htads. he traveled all tbe way to Pniladel ' piba to make the purchase. While there be re ( ceived the attentions whih hi- patriotism and de- : ration racked. i Whüe Gen. Giant was on a train lately a i youthful book-peidier traversed the ears, crying, j "Life of Gen. Grant." A michievoua aid t pointed to tbe general's seat, uggeting to tbe j boy that "that man might wrt a copy." Genera! Grmt turned over the pages of the book. ' and casually remarked. 'What is this about?" The ; boy, giving him a look of iudintion and dia ! gust, replied. "Vou must be a darned greeny j not to know Gen Gram!" After th's volley, tbt j lieutenant general of coure surrendered, and ' bought bis biography.

The Threatened Assassination of Lincoln. Artemus Ward or some one else writing from Washington says: "You've seen, in coarse, that a drunken loafer, named Clemens, from Alexandry, hes ben threttenin to masacree Mr. Lincoln. On kwes-

tinin the retch it wss di,kivered that bed no mallis wotever gen the president; but ha was so delited with the appearance and performances of vice president Andy Jor.soo in the sennit ! chamber that he wanted him promoted right away. The villin remarked to the detecktive as arrested bim that Lincoln wa. a misabul, sober rnss. and the sunner he wss shot In tbe neck the better. It is thort tbe unforoit mn, who whs full of liker when be made this murdurus obervAsbun, will probably b baled out by Mr. Jonson. Altho tbey are no relasbuns. thar is a i wonderful purseml resemblance at ween Clemens and the vice president." ---<>--- ALL SORTS OF PARAGRAPHS. ----- --Edwin Booth has played Hamlet one hundred consecutive nights in New York. --It is stated as a singular fact, that the smaller ladies' bonnets grow, the more they cost. --In Washoe (Nevada) a man is considered a vagrant unless he has a mining law suit upon his hands. --An insane man who walked through California and Nevada, proclaiming himself the Savior, has been killed by Indians on the plains. --Poor Brigham Young is a widower. One of his wives died on the 22d of last month. She was the handsomest of all Brigham's wives except six. An English company is going into the buiness of raising ostriches on tbe Cape of Good Hope, for the sake of the feathers, worth l) to JC15 for each bird. Some idea of the profits of sutlers may be gained from tbe fact that in tbe army of the Potomac, in three days one man sold apples enouch at from five to eight cents each to come to $300 There is a law in Paris compelling every person entering a church, place of amusement, or other public building, to leave his or her umbrella, p arasol or cane at the door, and pay three cents for tbe care of it. As much nitrate of feilver aa can be held between tbe thumb and finger, it is said, if tbrowu in a vase of water, will preserve ÜjwesB for the space of a fortnight This may be an interesting fact for the ladies At tbe great masked ball of tbe French minister of foreign affiirs in Paris, one lady appeared as an Indian squaw, her costume entirely com posed of feathers, and she only lacked a little tar to make a complete thing of it. Bishop L. L. Hamlin, of the Mothsdist Ei copal church, died at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, on the 231. He had been sick during the entire winter. He was one of the n;ot eminent divines and prominent leaders in the Methodist denomination. The abolition papeis med to say that the southern politicians were drunkards or hUcV guards Well, with the example of Andy Johnson and Parnon Brownlow before us, we suppose we .-dull have to acknowledge the fact. "Who was the executioner ot Charles the First?" is the question newly revived by the discovery, at the island of Barbadoes, of the depositions of a mm pained Pecbell or Peachell, tikcn down on his death-bei that he was the visort-d head-man Tbe documents have been sent to EuUi d. The Wa.-lrngtuu Republican (organ of Mr. Lincoln) savs: Beiinett has frequently Itmpooned the presi dent ab -nit his "coarr-e jokes," but the last aud best that we Lave ever heard was the one Mr. Lincoln icccntlv perpetrated by cominatinj: Mr. Bennett minister ti France, knowing that the Senate would not confirm him!
