the "hone guards" don'tskadaddie before
this we'll aimed artillery, and at once join
the army. then they certainly have lost all
manly feelings. Hear the girls:
Resolued, That it is the duty of every
young unmarried man ought to go to war.
That all who are physically unable to 60
are unable to support a family by labor.
That we have no further need Of home

pork, and there is therefore no danger Of it

That young men have but one reason
for staying at home-tbey fear the rebels
more than they love liberty. lHD
That the young man who fails to DO his
duty in this hour of our utmost need, Is
not worthy of the smiles of the ladies of
this vicinity, except such as love the home

That we will marry no home guard,

The Capture OF Forts Walker
and Beauregard-W What 1t Cost.

The reporter of the N. Y. Tribune, who
accompanied the great expeditien to Port
Royal, makes an estimate of what it cost
the country in dollars and cents to capture
Forts Walker and Beauregard from the
Southern rebels. He says the Wabash
fired during the action 900 shots, being
all shells, with, the exception of a few ri
fed cannon projectiles Of a new pattern
The Susquebanna fred 200 shots, the Bi-
ennville 1856, and the average Of the gun
boats and the other smaller ships are set
down at $50 each. There were, in all, l6
vessels engaged on our side, and probably
from all Of them were fred not far from
$500 shot and SHE'LL
The average cost of each shot, reckoning
shell, round shot, and riaed cannon proiec-
tiles. and taking into account the value OF
the powder used to fire them, at SO each.
Thus the powder, shot and she'll is set
down at $4,000. To this add the ex-
pense of the fleet, which has been in prep
aration since Aug. last, the rent of vessels,
pay of soldiers, value of rations, clothing,
and the two vessels lost, all of which foots
up the enormous sum Of $4,903, ,000,-

mate; thus, it will be seen, that the bat

Clevclamders Killed. "


A letter from Cheat Mountain, publish
ed in the Cincinnati Comne~cidt Of yes-
terday gives the following particulars Of IN
affair that resulted in the death Of several
Clevelanders;
An affair occurred last week which caus-
ad great excitement in camp, and its sad
termination cast gloom over us all. A
series of attempts have been made lately
to capture the enemy's piekets, and with
no success except 10 one instance, when .
Hungarian was caught and brought into
camp. One night last week, an expedition
under Major Bell, Of the 9th Indiana, at
tached to Gen. Milroy's staff, went out to
Greenbrier intending to do something,
nobody is certain what. The expedition
consists of Co. II, of the gath Ohio, Co.
B of the Ohio 25th and an Indiana COM
pany. They went out there, drove in the
pickets about O'Clock at night, and then
built up long Suing of blazing fires in
the valley in view Of the rebel camp, in
tending when they advanced towards ths
camp, intending to make Reconnaissance
in force" it is supposed. They bad given
the enemy full and continued evidence of
their presence, thus enabling Them to bring
out considerable force and post it by the
read side 10 the darkness to await our ap-
proacb, and then our men were marched
up the road with fires blazing behind them.
They had not gone far until the concealed
rebel foe fred full volley upon them,
which they replied to, butcould not see the
enemy. The rebels again fired, and killed
two and wounded eight of Co. H. 24,h
Ohio. That company being in advance
sustained the whole loss. Two more of the
same company are missing, and Lien. Bis
sctt was badly bruised by being thrown
down and tremp!ed on. Wasn't this a
bright military arrangement, displaying in
its commander wonderful military geniuss
The rebels could not have gotten up
a better trap to slaughter our men. Great
indignation was shown among both officers
and men at the recklessness which led TO
the disastrous result, and serious, and Sc
rious charges are made against the com
mander Of the expedition. l inclose a list

Slavery and the War.

We care not whether this letter truly
represents the Administration upon the
slavery question or not. We quote the
extract as embracing the whole '''contra-
band" doctrine in its last two lines-.'the
whole question will be decided by the mil
itary necessities of the hour" Fl,
There cannot, without violating the
Constitution and violating good faith, be
design To make the war one for the aboli-
ton Of slavery, but if slavery exposes weak
spots ins the rebellion, it is The duty cf
the FeJafal Government TO strike at those
points, thus, if slaves, by their knowledge
ofthe country, OF by the might Of that
mysterious electrical current that connects

ward. In the language Of jackson, the
Union must be preserved at all hazards"

miited suicide, its death will moi be owing
to n war waged against ii 10y the North in
violation of the Constitution, but because

We lays a right, te suppose that The ex-
pediiioh ITO Port Royal was aimed at hat
PHfular point as one Of the most sulner-
ablein the rebellion territory from the
great preponderance of blacks over whites,
and the sackiDg of Beaufort by the blacks,
aud their refusal to follow their masters,
shows the wisdom Of striking at that point.
1t was "mihtaryT necessity" and if the
devoted alaves of indulgent masters( s)are
disposed to espouse the cause of the Un-
ion, We say give them chance, and when
slases have shown their faith for the In

lsoerate their backs as punishment for the

The Detroit Free Press says it was reported by
telegraph day or two since that Secretary CAM
ERoN, in his forthcoming report to Congress,
would distinctly avow his policy of placing arms
in the hands of the Southern slaves willing to use
them for the cause of the Unirn. If. with all the
power that is now at the command of the Secre-
tary of War, he can not suppress the rebellion
witho calling upon the slaves to help him, we
think he bad better resign at once We are alike
opposed to the Government making .nigger-
catchers" of our soldiers, or employing "niggers"
to 6ght our battles. If, with 600 900 well dis
ciplined and fully equipped troops, Secretary Cam
ERoN can not put down the rebellion, supported
by AN army in all respects inferior, then, in Gods
name, and for the honor of the Anglo Saxon
race, let US put aside our swords and propose
terms of peace Let it not be understood through
out the world that it is necessary for the United
States army to call TO its aid the Southern "ng-
gers" to save this Union. But we can not be-
heve that Secretary CAMERON or any other Sec
resary under President LINCOLN. will distinctly
avow" or favor any such policy in their reports

who are shouting that the armies of the North, a
half million strong, with Mcclellan at their head,
can not conquer the rebels, and who demaud an
alliance. offensive and defensive. with the slaves
OF the South to assist our feeble forces! This
weakness has at length run into absolute coward
ice. They are turned fairly with their backs to
the enemy. They stand, trembling in absolute
fright, and begging for the emancipation and
arming of the negroes. as the last hope of the
Union
