PLATT McDONALD, :::::::: Editor. PLYMOUTH, INDIANA: Thursday, October 17th, 18G1 SHOWING Tili: CLOVES FOOT. Mattisglt shows the cioven foot in the lat i.ssue of the Republican, in his attempt to get the Demockat excluded from the mails, or suppressed, lie has been guilty of a sjreat m:nv mean acts in Irs life, and his present exertions to get our office destroyed by a mob, or the paper suppressed by government, may well be classed with them. If lie possessed any of the attributes of a man, he would scorn such methods of combatting an opponent. We have no fears that he will be successful in influencing ruffians to mob our office, or the government to exclude our paper from the mails ; nevertheless, Iiis conduct is just as detestable as if he accomplished his designs. Men of such a tyrannical, cross-grained disposition as Matting lt, stop at no conceivable method of retaliation for supposed injuries, from the most cowardly and contemptible, to the most atrocious and villainous. Nothing manly, nothing noble, just, or true, is expected of him, and when he exhibits his innate meanness, as he has lately concerning our business affairs, it is but an additional illustration of the degree of meanness to which he is capable of attaining. If the Democrat contained as obscene matter as has appeared ia the eolamns of the Republican, at almost any time since it ha9 been published here, we should ex- j pect it to be excluded from the mails and females, too. A gentleman of our acquaintance says he has the Republican left at his place of business, as lie does not wish his family to read a paper that causes them to blush ! And yet the man who publishes such a chicle of filth, billingsgate and obscenity, thinks that because the Democrat does not endorse abolitionism, such as Fremont has been inauuurating lately in Missouri, and applaud a few leading politicians who have accepted lucrative military positions, it should be suppressed ! His dislike of the Democrat is very jood evidence that it is what it should be. His praise would injure mora than his defamation. He thinks that barking at us will conceal his meanness from public view. THE ELEC'TIOX. There was little or no excitement in any of the States where elections were held last Tuesday. As a general thing not onehalf the usual vote wa3 polled. The result has generally bsen the election of the Republican and fusion tickets. Neither party male a vigorous canvass, and the result in fjvor of the Republicans is more a matter of chance, or luck, than anything et.se. In this county, the election of two of the candidates on the He publican ticket would have been changed in favor of the Democrats, if the Democrats Who stayed nway from the polls in West township, over and above the number of Republicans who did not vote had voted. The Republicans had their excuse ready in the event of their defeat, which wa3, that their men had gone to the war. The vrny the election has terminated, it would era that the Democrats have gone to the war, and the Republicans have stayed at home to do the voting. In the lancuaire of the Arkansas girl, when kissed, we dare them to do it again. The Army rtlic Potomac Kucr Compliment. Russell, in his last letter to the Londou Times, from Washington, dated September 2, says: "On this side nothing will be done for three or four weeks to come. General McClellan ia at present incapacitated by a strain received when out riding, a consequence of the constant personal supervision and inspection by which he stimulated so largely the progress of the army, officers and mn, toward efficiency. Hut the machine ia fairly moving and in working order, and by the time the reason s favorable and other combinations are ready for execution, the army will justify the expectations which are entertained of it and will deserve some of the eulogies passed on it by anticipation. Never, perhaps, has a finer body of men in all respects of vhysi'jue been assembled by any power in the world, and there is no leason why their morale should not be improved so as to equal that of the best troops in Eu-rope."

Letter to Ireilciit Lincoln. The subjoined letter, addressed- to President Lincoln by Charles Gibson, Esq., Solicitor in the Court of Claims, was placed in our hands some days ago, and having meanwhile appeared in the press ot New York and elsewhere, was reserved for publication in our columns at such a day a3 we could conveniently give it insertion. It will be found to relate to a subject which at present largely engages the public attention: Washington, September 27, 18G1. To the President: Sir Having been from eaily yenth a citizen of Missouri, well acquainted with most of the leading Union men of the State ; and having taken an active part in the composition of the State Convention, and the establishment of the State provisional government ; being, as I trust I ev

er shall be, truly loyal to my country, and being willing to suller, to do, or to dare anj thing in my power in order to restore the blessings of peace to my great but unhappy State, I claim the privilege of addressing you upon a subject which is now the theme of public discussion in all parts of the nation, and is of the very last importance to Missouri and Missourians. I allude, of course, to a proposed change in the Military Department of the West. At the time when Gen. Lyon was superceded by Gen. Fremont, Gen. Jackson and his crew had been driven headlong beyond the Ozark Mountains, and the Union men of the State felt as secure in their persons and property aw those in Pennsylvania now do. All this was accomplished by Lyon with tha Union soldiery of Missouri alone ; not a man was drawn from another State, nor was an inch of the soil of Missouri then held, or claimed to be held, by a rebel. Reciprocal admiration and cordial co operation existed between the hero of she West and all the Union men of the State. Not so with Gen. Fremont. From the inception of L13 command error has been succeeded by error, and disaster by disaster, until, as I am informed by the Mis. souri Democrat, "three-fourths of the State is now in the- hands of the rebels, and the Union forces, scattered of necessity, are difficult 5o handle." His first act was to waste the time, the treasure, and the means placed under his command for the purpose of organizing a grand army of invasion, in fortifying the city of St. Louis at a time when the enemy had been driven by Lyon further from that city than they are now from Philadelphia, and when its inhabitants had given as satisfactory proof of their loyalty and their ability to defend themselves as those of any city in the Union. He permitted Gen. Lyon to be sacrificed for want of a small reinforcement, when an overwhelming force was kept idle in St. Louis and other places. lie has permitted the enemy to quietly occupy the whole of Southwest Missouri, to drive out thousands of Union men with their families, and to supply themselves, ever since the 10th of August, with the lead and other resources of that region With five times the militaiy power of the enemy, he permits them to march from Springfield to Lexington, a distance ot one hundred and eighty miles, preRenting their Hank to bia column, and to besiege for a whole week and finally capture Mulligan. In short, the great army, which should now be in Memphis, is. under his command, fully occupied in Northern Missouri. His political administration is no better. He has surrounded himself with gentle men who are in the main strangers to tho people and the country in which he s to act; and at tho same lime tho most distinguished aud intluentinl citizens of the State, coming on subjects of vital importance to the public service, after waitin' in tho ante-chamber for days, have gone away without obtaining access 10 his presence. He has given to tho world tho most satisfactory evidence of insubordination to you on his part, by the promulgation of a decree which violates all law, and is a usurpation of supreme powe. ami at tho same time ho exacts from his subordinates the most rigorous and technical obedience. Ry the rule of action which ho has established, the Government, tho Consti. tution. and the law are concentrated in the person of John C. Fremont. Tho most devoted attachment to tho Union, tho greatest sacrilicea by tho men or the press that dare assail his individual acts, avail nothing ; the one is imprisoned and tho other suppressed for no other crime than presuming to call his actions and measures into question. lie has arrogantly sent to Gov. Gamble a list of appointments of officers, made out by himself, for the militia to bo raised under the Governor's call, and has taken

exceptions to the Governor's declension to make the appointments, when the declension was solely upon the ground that the Constitution of the State and tho ordinance of the Convention required the officers to be elected. Thus, instead of aiding and honoring the provisional government, ho has endeavored to absorb and weaken it in his own command. Tho Union men of the State have lost confidence in both his ability and patriotism. These, sir, aro no idle assertions. I am prepared to prove all I say. Duty to my friends in Missouri and to my country, requires me to represent these matters to you. The rest is with you. Your most obedient, humble servant, C. GIBSON. National Intelligencer.

Serve ISoth Sides Alike. Senator Spinola, of New York, in a recent speech to a Union meeting in Brooklyn, said : He justified the Government in suppressing treason and locking up traitors; but he favored equal justice in using this power. Dr. Tytig uttered treasonable language when lie said he would not be satisfied with the Union unless slavery was abolished. When he uttered sentiments like those uttered the other night in Cheever's church, he spoke treason, and he should be sent to keep company with other traitors at Fort Lafayette. Applause. He believed in equal law and equal justice under it for every man, rich and poor; it should reach all men, whether m the marble palace on Fifth avenue, or in a mud hovel. When Wen dell Phillips said he was a secessionist for fifteen years, he talked treason, aod the law should reach him; he believed that it should be dealt out to Secessionists, and that being an Abolitioiist should afford no protection the law should be used against both. Cheers. At the Union meeting in Westchester county, New York, John B. Haskell spoke in the same stvle : Let us disregard the theories of fanatics North and South. Only a short time since Wendell Phillips, in Boston; on tho anniversary of the birth of Theodore Parker, proclaimed aloud that he was opposed to the Coistitution ot 17C7 and to the Union that has conferred eo many blessings upon mankind, because slavery was tolerated. That was as treasonable a declaration as that of Yar.cy and other Southern men that the Southern States have a right to secede. Applause. I admire Wendell Phillips as an eloquent orator; yet I must say that for the utteranse of his treasonable sentiments against the Constitution and the Union, he ought, as well a3 tho aristocrat, Charles James Faulkner, to be incarcerated in Fort Lafayette. In the Herald, of this morning, is an allusion to Mr. Baker, of Sin'' Sin", denounclng the President's letter to Fremont which holds Fremont to tho law, while Democrats, and Americans ani Republicans, aro joining together to strengthen the hands of the Administration. I see such men as Wendall Phillips, Lewis Tappan, John Jay, of this county, and who, in years gone by, obtained an ephemeral legal notoriety by issuing writs of habeas corpus in behalf of fugitive slaves. Goodell and others of the Ciarrisonian abolition school, doing all in their power, like the I reck 111 1 ides, to distract our people. They ought to know that their declaration that the Constitution is ' a league with death and a covenant with hell," and their anathemas against Lincoln and his Adminis tration may incite an indignant people to shout out "a la lanterne, "a la Fort Lafayelte," and induce them thus to remove from their midst a bind of pestiferous agitators. Applause. Wo owe it to ourselves, we owo it to the country, we owe it to our Southern citizens who have remained devoted to the Union through blood and disaster, that these fanatics North and South, should be "crushed out." " Swear Ilimnntl Lot Him (So" The best piece ol satire upon tho leniency observed by the authorities, in reference to rebels found committing depredations, is in tho shape of a story which is told, we believe, by Governor Pierpout. As the story goes, some of the soldiers in General Cox's Camp, down in Kanawha, recently caught a large rattlesnake. The snake manifested .a most mischievous disposition, snapping, and thrusting out its forked tongue, at all who camo near it. The boys at last got tired of the reptilo, and as nobody wanted such a dangerous companion, the question arose, "What shall wo do with him?" This question was propounded several times without an answer, when a half drunkon soldier, who was lying near upon his back, rollid over upon his side, and relieved his companions by quietly remarking, "Swear him and let him fe'o."

Holt's Letter to Lincoln. I

, Washington, Sept. 12, 18G1 Dear Sir : The late act of Congress providing for the confiscation of the estates of persons in open rebellion against Government was as a necessary war measure accepted and fully approved by the loyal men of the country. It limited the penalty of confiscation to property actually employed in the service of the rebellion with tho knowledge and consent of its owner, and, instead of emancipating slaves thus employed, left their skit us to be determined either by courts of the United States or by subsequent legislation. The proclamation, however, 'of General Fremont, under date of the 30th of August transcends, and, of course, violates the law in both these particulars, and declares that the property of rebels, whether used in support of the rebeliion or not, shall be confiscated, and if consisting in slaves, that they shall be at once manumitted. The act of Congress referred to was be lieved to embody the conservative policy of your Administration upon this delicate and perplexing question, and hence the loyal men of the border Slave States have felt relieved of all fears of any attempt on the part of tho Government of the United States to liberate suddenly in their amidst a population unprepared for freedom, and whose presence could not fail to prove a painful apprehension, if not of terror, to the homes and families of all. You may therefore well judge of the alarm and condemnation with which the Union loving citizsas of Kentucky the State with whose popular sentiment I am best acquainted have read his proclamation. Th6 hope is earnestly indulged by them as it is by myself, that this papyi was issued under the pressure of a military necessity, which General Fremont believed justihtd tho step, but that in the particulars specified it has not your approbation and will not be enforced in derogation of law. Tho magnitude cf the interest at stake, and my extreme desire that by nomisapprehension of your sentiments or purposes, shall the power and fervor of the loyalty of Kentucky bo at this moment abated, or chilled, must be my apology for the frankness with which I have addressed you, and for the request 1 venture to make of an expiession of your views upon the points of General Fremont's proclamation, on which I have commented. I have the honor to he, very respectfully, your obedient servant. J. HOLT. His Excellency , Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. The KcIkI Army Coiile.veIly Wreteliecl. We find in the Charleston Mercury this unwilling confession of tho deplorable condition of tho rebel army on the Potomac: The terrible sanitary condition of our army on the Potomac is a matter of painful interest to the whole people of the Confederate States. There are few in the Confederate) States who have not near relatives at Manassas or on the Mississippi. And those who havo not should be there themselves. The frightful condition of camp is a subject of universal interest and alarm. Id the spirit of Spartin fortitude wo are willing that our troops should be sacrificed, if need be, in ths cause of the country. But lhat they should1 fall victims to the mismanagement of an inefficient department's utterly unendurable. It is not our business to depose and reform; but it is cur duty to cxposo that inefficiency which is disastrous to tho public welfare. Ten thousand lives are now in jeopardy through this fully. The fruits of the great battle at Manassas havo ben sacrificed lo this almost criminal fatuity. It is time to bo done- with it. The country must be served, and personal predictions on the part of our authorities must no longer conirol our destinies and mar our proceedings. Tho Stato is not to be sacrificed to fancies. How much longer is favoritism and folly to sacrifice lives and obstruct our arms? Mothers, fathers, widows, all cry aloud, and plead for those they love. Iteligiou Seeeioii. Henry C. Lay, Missionary llishop of tho Protestant Episcopal Church in Arkausas, has cut himself loose from all connection with the church in the North. He Intimates that he i3 now in another country, and that tho Presiding Bishop of tho United States cannot exercise- any control over tho bogus confederacy. Several of the Piesbyteties of the Old School Presbyterian Church in the rebel States havo hold their regular fall meetings, and, without exception, havd passed acts of separation from the General Assembly of tho church, and appointed delegates to attend at Augusta, Ga., on tho 14th of next December, for the purpose of forming a General Assembly of the Southern Confederacy portion of the denomination. John W. Dawson, of thU State, has been appotnaed Governor of Utah.

Li the building there are eight large ovens in full operation, employing forty bakers, and turning out fiom 20,000 to 21r000 twonty-two ounce loaves per day. In the vaults, out side of the building, there aro sir double ovens, employing sixty bakers, and producing daily 30,000 to 40,000 loaves. One hundred and sixty persons are employed at these bakeries, receiving from thirty-five ta forty-two dollars per month. The monthly pay-roll amounts to over ix thousand dollars.

St. Louis, Oct. 10. Tho Lexington, 7ih, correspondent of tlia Republican write as follows: "The plan of Gen. Price, after he captured Lexington, was to remain for a time, and operate on the north 6ido of the river ; and, for this purpose, on Saturday, the 2Cth of September, ho crossed over the riv.'.rat Lexington 4.000 mounted men, and this force took up their line of march for the railroad, with the view of its to tal destruction, and then sad havoc was to bo made of all tho government forces in Northwestern Missouri ; but, late in the evening, who had been released as a prisoner at tho Arsenal, where he had taken the oath of allegiance to the U. S. government, returned from St. Louis to Lexington, and reported that the whole country below was alive with troops ; that Fremont was after Price, and lhat Price might prepare for a big light in a few days. This served to raise the courage of Price's men, and they said, lot Fremont come ; they were ready for him. But, when Jones announced that Fremont had 30,000 men, and his only fear was :hat Price would not make a stand, the latter countermanded his order sending troops to tho railroad. A messenger iras immediately dispatched after those already started, and they recroBsed the river on Sunday evening. That night Price made his order for a movement outh, and Gen. Rains, it is said, went twenty miles that night on hia southern route, and it is believed that Gor.

Jackson availed himself of this command as an escort to get himself out cf danger.1 Price and all his forces left on Monday, the 3'Jth ult.; but his train of baggage wagons, about 1,200 hi number, did not all get off before Wednesday mornirtg. If Price had designed a fight with Fremont, he would have taken the Georgetown road, or possibly the Warrensburg road; but, iustead of this, he has gone the road leading down the western boundary of the State and to the southwest. His most intelligent friends consider his course a complete back-down, while the more verdant are solaced with the idea that he has gone to meet McCulloch, who. from the most reliable infoimation, is somewhere in Arkansas. The forces of Price were very largo at Lexington, hut many of the men were onlv for the occasion, and have gone home. His force was 15,000 or 10,000 when he left Lexington, and, as the fact becomes certain that his destination is Arkansas, his forces will be decreased." I have given a plain narrative of facts as they haAO transpired here, and, if Price does not make a stand and give battle, all who are cognizant of his movements will be disappointed.

European Intervention in TCexieo. From the LonIon Glol e, Organ cf Lord Faluir-ton J England and France are both largely interested in the welfare of Mexico. There are debts to be paid, there are lives to be saved, "England has a larger amount of capital employed in Mexico than France, but the subjects of the French Empire there are more numerous." Nor are Spain and the United States uninterested. The lives and properties of their subjects aie also in imminent peril day by day. England has a right to enter and seize the custom houses, and appropriate the revenues for the payment of debt. No one questions for a moment the right of intervention. No one can doubt that the sub ject has occupied the anxious attention of Franco and England, of Spain, and even of the Government of the United States. But it is easier to note the psril than to deviso tha remedy. Intervention is easy. No largo force would be required to bring the countrv lo its senses. Bat no Gov- . 11 1 i without ample deliberation and a careful forecast of tho consequences. It is impossible to doubt that England and Fiance alone, with a small force, could walk into the city of Mexico whenever they pleased; bt, if needed, Spain could supply all the cavalry that such an expedition would require. There would be no difficulties in doing the business thoroughly, so far as the mere occupatio!, of the country and Capitol were concerned. The difficulties would arise afterward. They are great, but not insuperable. Any intervention of the kind we have indicated, whenever resolved on, whenever executed, could not fail to succeed as a mere measure of military policy, called for by the outrages on common humanity in Mexico. That such an intervention is extremely probable, and indeed only a question of time, is what all feel who have considered the subject. Hut it is clearly 0110 that cannot bo undertaken without very careful preparation, without clearly deGneil objects, and a duo subor dination of the raehiis to tho end. All that the parlies concerned are interested in ob taining is a recognition and liquidation of money obligations, jjn-aran'ees for the security of lifo and property, and the exemplary punishment of those who have com mitted atrocious crimes on tho persons of Kuropeans. The question is, how can these objects bi accomplished with the least loss of life and tho least cost? Tltat an attempt must bo made, sooner or laier, to accomplish them, wi are not able to doubt, although it ia not go easy to 6eo the preciso means which may be adopted for reaching the ends in view. The condition of Mexico is a word-wide scandal and a reproach to civilization, and cries aloud for amendments. We most coidially itulort-o the following from the Xew York World, an able and Influential Republican journal: We aro in the receipt of many affecting letters from tho parents and friends of soldiers now held in captivity by the rebels at Richmond and Charleston, urging us to call upon the Government for their immediate exchange. We aie not insensible to tho claims which these men have upen tho sympathy of the public and the consideration of tho Government. Indeed, we have more than once exposed tho unreasonableness of a policy which should refuse to release somo of tho bravest and most suffering of our volunteers for fear of violating official punctillio, or of involving a recognition of rebel authority. No true friend of the Government can bo willing to believe that the caso of theso captured men is not tho subject of its anxious and solicitous attention, or that some practicable plan for their release is not rapidly maturing."
