Lincoln is announced as the champion of an unlimited prosecution of the war, in view ,t of Pence, of Brotherly Love, of National Prosperity, of Domestic Happiness, are not better for this people than the glittering generalities of devastating war. Lincoln is supported by a countless mul multitude - titude multitude of office-holders and by the ambitious and designing men of bis party. Let all men who are unbought by bribes of office, who are uninfluenced by the blandishments of power and undismayed by tbe threats of heartless tyranny, join as a band of brothers to work his overthrow. Let us print Peace upon our lintels, emblazon it upon our ban banners - ners banners and proclaim it from our house-tops.

Rather Severe on Lincoln. The edi editor - tor editor of the Lacrosse Wisconsin Democrat is not, we conclude, a great admirer of Old Abe. In a late article he says: One Term. The Lincoln prpers say that Lincoln should have two terms in office. In tha language of Henry Ward Beocher; we ask if this is not 'damned hot?' Two terms? It is against nature. Egypt had but one term of lice, frogs, snakes synony synonymous - mous synonymous with Abe's office holders, filth, famine and plagues for all her wickedness. Spain had but one term of really noted rob robbers. - bers. robbers. Heaven had but one term of revolt, and that was settled by forcible secession! Dogs have but one term of hydrophobia, horses have but one terra of blind staggers; children have but one term of measels, chicken-pox, whooping-cough, mumps, and such diseases- This being the case, may Almighty God forbid that we are to have two terms of the rottenest, most stinging, ruin-working small-pox ever conceived by fiends or mortals, in the shape of two terms of Abe Lincoln's administration. The Rebel Sharpshooters. Our in information - formation information from Georgia is to offect that the efforts of the rebel sharpshooters to pick off onr officers is fearfully successful, much more so indeed, than ever before. Most of them use a recently imported Whiteworth gun, which is said to be superior to any anything - thing anything in use by our forces. It is understood that the rebels pay as much as $1,500 a piece for these guns. We do not know the kind of money used, but suppose gold or sterling exchange, as Jonny Bull, from whem they are purchased, would probably insist on eood money. One of those guns was captured on the side Resacasome time since in thia way: A sharpshooter (rebel) climbed into a tree, and tined a bandker chief round his waist to prevent his falling in case he should be wounded. Ihe rebel was not more than comfortably fixed before a Federal sharpshooter fired a shot through his neck and instantly killed him. He bung in the tree until our lines extended to the spot, when he was cut down and his gun taken. Msjor Norton, Col. Wiles, Capt. Sheridan and many others were shot with the Whitr- worth rifle. Chattanoog uazatte, June 7 W. C. Gouid, of The Hocking Sentinel, says: Our youngest brother, who has been in every fight with the Army of the Potomac since tha seven day's fight before Richmond under McClellan except Gettysburg, was captured the first day's fight in the Wilder Wilderness - ness Wilderness under Gen. Grant, and is in prison at Gordonsville, Va., from which place be writes home: 'I have plenty to eat and am well treated, don't trouble yourself about me!' So it would seem the rebs have learned to treat our prisoners well, or the stories of their cruelty, ect., were sensation terns got up for the purpose of 'firing the northern heart.'

I had an awful dream. Unlike Byron's, it was all a dream, and more too. I dreamed that is I think I dreamed; I was so frightened that I will not be positive about the beginning that the city was depopulated. Oue third of the inhabitants were in arrest on chargssot libel, one third for assaul and battery and gamb gambling, - ling, gambling, and tbe other third had gone their bail, and run away to keep fram paying. I alone escaped. Methoaght I sat upon the highest pinnacle of the courthouse, and gazed with sublime contempt upon all inanimate things be'ow. I was congratulating myself upon my escape from demoralization, and medi meditating - tating meditating whether 1 should still live a virtuous life and be happy, or share the fate of my fellow-men, when an Ethiopian minstrel hit me in the face with a silver cup and blinded me. When I recovered it was growing dark, and I saw a caravan approach approaching - ing approaching from afar off, and the people bore ban banners, - ners, banners, on which were inscribed "Woodlawn," and they uttered loud imprecations against me, and I thought nij time had come, but it had not. It was soma other man's time. The darkness increased, and became so in intense - tense intense that it was a'.most suffocating. And I saw a ballon ascending to the clouds, with a red-haired man in it, and the red-haired man fell out and shot through the air like a comet. I saw his red hair approaching me, and told him he couldn't coma it, but he did. He struck me violently, knocked me from my pinnacle, and I awoke. Then it occurred to ma that I was right, and I rushed out of my house to meet another brickbat the same one that! had met three times before. On this hint I left tho city. I tfm pleas pleasantly - antly pleasantly located, tho scenery around me being surpassingly beautiful, and devoid of brick brickbats. - bats. brickbats. The crops bid fair to be exceedingly flno.

Un Until - til Until then, I am, tracquilly, Beau Hackett. President Lincoln's Story of Swapping Horses. When Mr. Lincoln was informed of his renomination for President, ha frank frankly - ly frankly declared that he was not the best mac for the office, but he added that he supposed the Convention thought it was no t:me to swap horses when crossing a stream. The Buffalo (N'ew York) Courier tells the whole story, which Mr. Lincoln only alludes to: "A Dutchman undertakes to swim a mare and colt across a stream, and not being a swimmer himtelf, he takes hold of the colt's tail, and the trio start to make the passage. The colt weak and immature begins to 6how signs of giving out about the time the m'd m'd-dle - dle m'd-dle of tho stream is reached, and men on tbe opposite bank cried out to the Dutchman to seize the mare's tail and relieve the colt, or he will be lost. Looking anxiously about bira, and seeing the maro's tail beyond his reach, he tightecad bis grasp on the colt's caudlo extremity, and replies to his interest interested - ed interested neighbors, that 'this is no place to swap horses. The result, of course, is thatDutch thatDutch-man - man thatDutch-man and cait soon sink to what the novelists term 'a wa ery grave.' "We are left to infer that the colt repre represents - sents represents tbe almost exhausted Government, and the President the drowning Dutchman. It is not strange that his renomination should have called this story to mind. The ques question - tion question for tbe people is, whether there is not 6omo way to save th3 colt." , We are ' gratified to announce that the present Congress have done one good act. Thay Lava adjourned sine die. That is one biess ng, for which let all patiots ba duly grateful. Lou. Dam.

The occasion wa3 a reviawing visit to Longstrcet's corps: About 1 o'clock tho arrival of General Lee was announced by strains of music and a salute from the artillery. As he rode up to the eolers, and tbe men caught sight of his well known figure, a wild and prolonged cheer, fraught v.ith a feeling that thrilled all hearts, ran along the line and rose to the heavens. Hats were thrown high, and many persons became almost frantio with emotion. Gen. Longstreet shared fully in the excitement, and waved his hat in the most axcited manner. It was then a fine sight to seo Gen. Lee ride forward, and, an an-covering - covering an-covering hisjnobly modeled and venerable head, acknowledged, with consummate grace and dignity, the greeting. He looked stouter and manlier, and no "older, than when we parted with him last fall. One heard on all stdes such expressions as, What a glorious figure!' 'What a noblo laco ar.d head! 'Oar destiny is in his band!' Ha is the best and greatest wan on this con continent - tinent continent !' He was accompanied by bis son, Brig. Gen. William F.Lee, Boon I hear, to be "male a Major General. Before the cheering ceased, an old lady, with a kiud motherly face, passing a party of soldiers bowed to them repeatedly, exclaiming, with au emotion that thrilled all who heard her. 'I bow to you soldiers!' ITrjRRAn for Lincoln asd No Coffes. Our Republican managers in lfcStJO got raauv voters for snti slavery. We must now'ali learn to be anti-shirt.
