Buchanan's Administration, which certainly cannot be set down to the score of disloyalty, and that it was sent in by bis brother in whose charge it had been left and wbo was a better Secession* ist, just at the right time to commit the Colonel not the Secessionists. The Colonel who was in the West doing the country good service sent instructions to have his resignation withdrawn as soon as he learned that it could be construed into an impeachment of his loytUy, but his brother was resolved to force him into the secession ranks il possible, and refused to let it be withdrawn. The. Colonel coming home, after rescuing our regulartroops in Arkansas, finds that his resignation has been accepted, and asks to be restored. He is restored, as he ought to be, and the Tribune denounces him as a traitor and the administration as conniving at treason. The reason for retaining Mr. Harvey in his Portugal mission after the discovery of his correspondence with the South Carolina traitors, we do not feel disposed to believe that an administration whose existence is threatened by treason is likely to do anything to strengthen or reward treason. Mr. Harvey, who was always esteemed a very honorable man, and was the Tribune*9 abest correspondent, may have a perfectly 8a as factor explanation of his conduct. We presume be has made it befour his appointment, and yet was appointed.—The Tribune may get somebody to believe that the administration appointed a traitor, knowing him be so but if it does it will show the urgent necessity for the speedy arrival of the Fool Killer. Iht any set of men should connive at a conspiracy which threatens their offices, lives property and government, is a little too absufd for this practical generation, and the Tribune is wasting its sneers when it indulges them in such a direction as that.Similar in spirit to these instances is one reported to-day by tdlegraph. It isan insinuation that the present apparent inaction of onr army in Virginia is induced by a disposition of the Administration to compromise with the traitors. Now this story i9 a straight out lie, and the npv it. The administration knows/ well that the day it compro* lu.-j--. niib armed treason it dies, and it don’t propose to die yet awhile. Why the Tribune thus assails and msgligns the Government is a mystery, but we can assure it that if the oause is hidden the effect won't be. We have heard more than one ardent admirer and old subscri-from the front room into the kitchen; as yet not a word had been spoken on the part of the mother—but such a stare as would cause the blood to chill in one’s veins!

The people have more confidence in the prtriotism and honesty of Mr. Lincoln than they have in any neper on earth. And the Tribune had better begin to believe it right now.From the Delphi Journal.Horrible Aflklr.Mr. Editor:—Some of the citizens oCarroll county willHe gratified with a of the particulars relative to the attempted murder of Rev. John B. Timmons:It is well known that about thirteen years aince, Mrs. Mary Timmons, of this county, was insane and killed ber husband, Elijah Timmons, during her state of insanity, by cutting him with an axe in the head, face and neck.Her parents being informed of the fact, 'came and took her to Pickaway oounty, Ohio, where she remained three years and a half; after which time she recovered, and was apparently as well as ever.— She then returned to Carroll county, and attended to her domestic affairs as ever before.About the middle of Maroh last, she began to exhibit signs of insanity, and radually grew worse and worse, until ithas prepared for them, and into which they have incautiously entered. But a more tremendous trap than that at Great Bethel or at Vienna has been devised for us, and is even now being silently eqip-.ped and manned. We refer to those schemes of compromise with the secessionists which are tc he sprung upoa Congress at the special session in July.Mr. Crittenden who has just been elected in Kentucky, announces his determination to make some motion for bringing the war to an end. He will be sustained by other Southern members, and by some we fear, from the Northern States. Already a convention of editors is called in tins State, to agree upon a plan; it is said, for bringing popular opinion up to the designs ot tne leaders, anti not a few hints are given out in private conversation, to the effect that the war has crone far enough. A part of the scheme embraces the capitalists of (he cities, who are to be persuaded not to lend their money to the Government for the prosecution of bostilites, or to lend it only at such rates of interest as will discourage the Government in its attempts to maintain the Federal ascendancy.This scheme is nothing more than a masked battery of Jefferson Davis. He has been thoroughly disappointed in his projects. Supposing that a large party at the north would side with him in his infamous designs, ho really persuaded himself that it would be an easy thing to march on to Washington, seize the public offices and archives, and inaugurate a new administration. But tho noble and unanimous uprising of the free States put an end to his vain and ridiculous hopes He found that the wicked war he had begun was to be a war in earnest. He saw the people of the north were not only united in their resolve.; to preserve the Union but that they brought to the contest a vast superiority of wealth, numbers, determination and endurance. Instead of being in the possession of the Capital, he can scarcely hold the securest military positions by his half-fed, ill-clad and discontented forces. His ports are blockaded, his supplies are cut off, the Border States do not follow his lead, and a quarter of a million men threaten all his posts. ^In short Davis is in a hopeless predic-iment. A grand success in battle might impart some degree of vitality to his cause for a short time, but the end is as certain as the setting of the sun to night. He and his followers must be scattered like chaff before the wind, if not this er, then in tho autumn.

During her whole affliction she was not happy when John waa absent from her. Having appeared so much better during the week, her children became somewhat relax intheir vigilance.On Saturday morning June 1st, 1861, the same band that shed the blood of her husband thirteen yean ago now is imbued in the blood of her son.Between daylight and sun rise before any of the family were out of bed. abe arose and obtained an ax, came to the bed where her son John was lying on his back. She gave one blow across the nose about one inch below the eyes, sinking the ax blade nearly to the roof of his mouth, cutting off his right jaw bone, and cutting his left about half off. The second stroke doubtless was aimed in a similar manner, but throwing up his hands warded the blow from his face; though it struck him In tbe forhead about two inches above the left eyebrow breaking through tbe skull, and at the same time serving the bone at the third joint of hisfourth finger, on his left hand; and slight-“ .• * W U 0___it it_;___1* — Jceives his dilemma, and adroitly contrives a way lo escape. It is to divide the North by a well* planned strategem. Knowing the love of peace which pervades the hearts of Northern men, he hopes by throwing into Congress some scheme of compromise, to divert attention from the vigorous prosecution of tbe war, and in tbe end to a party of peace even in the midst of our camp3.We do not believe that the project will succeed. Our people, who have deliberately gone into the contest, will not re. linquish it until the ends for which it was undertaken have been fully attained. We did not assume the dread alternative of battle as child’s play. It was not to us a mere move in a great game of politics and intrigue. We have not sent two hundred thousand men fiom their homes to perish of exposure and fatigue on a fool’s errand; we have not raised million* of money, and sacrificed many millions more in trade lor nothing We have been io earnest in our purpose to vindicate great principles, and those principles ill be vindicated, come what may.

They have had enough of treason in the single experience of it, and they mean that it shall never again show any one of its heads. They mean to n: ake an end of the hydra once and fotever7 Now is tbe time to do it; we have lost nearly all that we can lose in tbe experiment;,the heart of the nation is alive; the spirit of patriotism is folly aroused; our soldiers are already in the field; and there must be no faltering till the glorious banner of the Union waves triumphantly in all the land!MB aly cutting the third and fourth fingers ofL!- right head; also inflicting man*’**1** wounds on Other portions of the. a* » n a *' •He then apttngfrom tbe bed, seized theax, and took it frqar her.
