To th Editor of the Plain Dealer:
"I do not write those lines particu
larly for publication ; I simply wish to
exnVers my humble opinion in regard
. to this (called by four-fifths of the
to think they 'would follow tho example
of Indiana, and 'kick up a muss.'
Wo have had a great b tttlc at
Murfrccsboro, and what was the re
sult? Why, wo lost at least 15.000
men and a number of lino batteries;
and al though wo hold tho ground wo
cannot move another rnilo. Tho entire
army of Virginia and Tennessee could
not drive tho rebels from their strong,
holds in the Mountains of Tennessee.
" I wish you could have seen some
of tho charges made by the rebels at
that battle. They (lid not seem to bo
human beings. They fight belter since
the first of January, ami thero are moro
of them since tho appearance of that
thrico damned proclamation of Lin
coin. " This army will soon bo home say
in four months then let thoso dirty
Abolitionis'.s look out. Let that tooth- j
lo-s heavy dicadod dog they call Ben i
Wade open his mouth atul it will go
hard with him. They ca.l h'.m the
Old War Horse." It is a pity that
wc couldn't have bad a few of those
old war horses in this last battle. But
wo don't want thorn they would de
moralize tin army. It was tho work
of such men that caused this immense
army to be raised, and it will be their
doin'rs that will call them home.
" Tho soldiers look to the honest
Democrats of the North to put a stop
t.o this bloody, unholy war. Throw
out the r.igger. and our Union will be

bin because those dirty Abolitionists at
Wa.-bington aro spending all their
time thinking of the nigger, instead
of locking to tho poor soldier, and
having them readv for work when
they are wanted.

used Vallandigham at the beginning
of this war, when he visited their
camps. Let that same man visit our
camps to-day. an d ho will be welcomed

From Yazoo Pass. Tho best infor
mation we have from this point is that
the fleet of tho enemy is still at tho
mouth of the pass into tho Cold Wator.
It is composed ol 0 stern and 2 eide
wheel boats, carrying two guns each,
and a few transports. Nothing defi
nite is known as to their strength. We
presume no hindranco will bo offered
to their flouring out tho Cold Water,
as we have every reason to believe it
has been determined to let them get'j
as far from their base tho Mississippi,
as the) may have the courage to ven
ture on mo precarious a route. Ample
preparations have been made to prevent
tho -accomplishment ' of the purposes
of the foe, at tho proper time. We

The Vicksburg correspondent of the M bik'

The Federals are still opc-rating at Yazoo
Pass, and are said to be now in the Talla

Yazoo are not of the best kind, trouble of a
serious nature will soon occur up tht;re. 1 lc.r
