The Washington correspondent of the

appointed Col. Asboth, the distinguished
Hungarian officer, Brigadier General, and
attached him to the staff of Gen. Fremont
Col Asboth is one of the most skillful SOL

certain victory. We trust the report of his
appointment will be confirmed.

BTA gentleman who has just returned
from the South, informs the Cincinnati En-
quirer that the rtbsls have erected chain
cable bridge across the Mississippi River at
Randolph, sixty miles above Memphis. The
cable is made of three chains, the iron of
each link being an inch and half in thick
ness This cable is laid on a number of
fiat boats stretched across the river, and an
chored above and below by heavy sea an
chors and chains. Next to the Tennessee
shore there is an opening for the passage up
and down of such vessels as are permitted
nv the rebels About one hundred yards
below this gap, on bluff, is planted six bat
teries of heavy cannon, SO that the approach
of any steamer to the opening from
the North would result in her being blown
to atoms The bridge is said to be an in
genious contrivance, and one that cannot be
removed very easily.

EThe reaction in business affairs has
commenced in Wall Street. The prompt
legislation of Congress has given renewed
hope to men of all classes, and stocks are ac-
tive and higher. We see the beginning of
the end. The fac of the rebellion is be-
yond all question, and we may safely assume
that when our arms are victorious through
out Virginia, the Union men of the South
will rally to the National standard, and the
men who have led them on in this crusade
will be powerless. Business will resume its
wonted channels and our country will
emerge from threatened destruction more
powerful than ever. The wealth of the
country to-day is immeasurably greater
than ever before. The grain crops are un-
precedented, and, under reduction of i'm
portations, specie has been flowing steadily
into the country for six months past. So
soon, therefore, as confidence is restored in
the stability of the Government, we may
look for such tide of business az We have
never experienced.

sSr The harvest of JEFF. Davis priva

EI% The harvest of JEFF Davis priva-
teers is about gathered. law has passed
Congress, authorizing the Secretary of the
Navy to purchase and employ sufficient
vessels, not only to render the blockade eff
fective but to scourge the seas for pi-
ates. If Mr.. Welles had been the
right man in the right place, he would
have taken the responsibility for such
course long since, and thousands OF
dollars, worth of property might have been
saved to the loyal citizens of the country.
1t is to be hoped that he will at least exc
cute the law with vigor. When the splen-
did ships and steamers lying idle in New
York are manned and armed, we will be
ready to resist all foreign interference with
our affairs. If the Navy is properly equip
ped England will experience some trouble
in procuring the Confederates' cotton.

40 the SESuDen AEIAAAeEys
EDITOR JOURNAL: like to see men who
are placed on guard, on the alert, but the
Tomfoolery exhibited by the gun squad
having charge of our battery is outrageous.
Every boat, whether regular packet or
not, has to be saluted with one or more
guns, thus wasting powder, and showing
lack of good sense. l do hope the Captain
of the Steuben Artillery will see to this
matter, and give orders that only boats that
are strangers to our port shall be saluted
and made to give an account of themselves.
If the squad have no glass, let the proper
authorities furnish them with one. l do
not dislike the smell OF powder, but in these
times, do not like TO see so useful an arti-
Gle wasted. | hope those in power will
stop this useless waste of powder, and abate
this nuisance to our regular packets.

GG There is room for Improvement in
the mode of managing the affairs of the
Quartermaster's Department. It would
seem to civilian like ourselves that when
regiment is ordered to rendezvous by
companies at certain place, to be a very
sensible arrangement to take some steps in
advance to secure their comfort For in
stance, ten companies are directed to go in
to camp at Evansville, and instead of send
ing sufficient blankets for the whole regi-
ment at once, they are sent in small lots,
after the men are compelled to lie on the
ground until other arrangements for their
lodging can be made The Rockport com
pany that arrived Tuesday were obliged
many of them-to sit up all night having
no blankets and but little straw. We pre-
sume .nat when the next company comes,
there will be as little preparation for their
comfort, as though their arrival had not
been dreamed of If the Quartermaster
cannot furnish blankets, the Commissary
can certainly furnish straw.

favor of the bill increasing the regular ar
N.Y. The latter, endorsing the Vice Presi-
dents announcement that order should be
preserved in the galleries. Mr.. BrIght's
gratitude burst forth in the following strain
of eloquence:
I am glad to hear the Chair make the an
nouncement it has made. l, for one Sena-
tor, make my Acknowledgements for the
declaration that the Chair will take upon
itself the responsibility of enforcing the
rules of this body without requiring Sena-
tors to rise and make the motion. Our
rules are plain and positive, and we are all
entitled to the protection of the rules
Some of us may, before we adjourn, utter
sentiments not IN accordance with what IS
the sentiment of the galleries. 1t is highly
improper that they should express their ap-
probation or disapprohation and l am
glad to hear the Chair announce thus early,
in advance, that the Chair itself will en-
force the rules.
This intimatiou of possibility that he
may say something unpopular, is the first
indication of Mr. ghts opinions that he
has vouchsafed. neans that he will fol-

ABoU Ben Wood-o may his tribe decrease
Awoke, one night. from deep dream of peace, "
And saw within the gaslight of his room,
Making il chill and dismal like tomb,
demon writing in book of brass.
Exceedtng luck had made Ben Wood an ass,
And TO the presence in the room he said
w hat writest thou? ?" The demon raised its head,
And answered in the accents of hag:
"The traitors names who hate their country flag"
" And is mine one 2" asked Ben, ss0h no, not So "
Replied the demon. Speaking then more low,
But cheerily still, Ben said: pray thee. then,
!" Write me as one who hates all honest men. !"

And showed the names which treachsry had curst,
When, 10 Ben Woods base stood out the first.

HT@The indianapolis Journal announced
a few days since, that Gov. Morton had
shipped to Col. Rousseau at Jacksonville,
a lot of cartridges, aud percussion caps, for
the Union men of KY. The cartridges-six
boxes-and the caps, amounting to several
thousand, arrived at Jacksonville. They
were marked, according to the Louisville
Journal, Il H. Rousseau" The same paper
tells what became Of them-"A At Jeffer-
sonville the name was scratched of, and
direction to some German name at Horse
Cave substituted. the articles were deposit
ed at the Express Office in this city, and we
presume, taken upon the Nashville Rail-
road last evening"
These munitions of war, having gone
South, will probably be returned to Indiana,
through Minnie rifles. This is another in

thence forwarded to our enemies. Why

To Advertisers.

The Daily Journal has now attained a
circulation of between 1000 and 1000
copies daily. 1t reaches all points both
sides the river between Louisville and the
mouth, and has a fair circulation up Green
River. It is hardly necessary to suggest to
advertisers that they should avail them
selves of this large circulation. It is true
the times are hard, but it is just as nsces-
sary, in fact little more so, to secure
good customers now as ever. If advertis-
lag is profitable when business is lively
and advertisements numerous, it certainly
Ought to be equally so when business is
dull, and advertisements soliciting custom
scarce. Advertise in the Evansville jour
nal.

note sent us by Judge Law that the memo

by him, laid before Congress on the 18th
inst. The memorial was referred 10 the

It will be observed that this Commirtvv

possesses one of the finest armories in the
Government, has two representative
The construction of the Committee clear
" laws upon the shelf whatever claims
any city in Indiana may present; and
ours, we presume, will be heard of no

will do his very best to have our interests

of which the Committee is composed, is sufi-
