The Gallipolis Journal, which was
formerly the bitterest of almost all
Northern papers against anti slavery
men and measures, has fallen-and with
evident earnestness-into the ranks of
the great army of progress, and from
week to week, now gives out to its read
ers what would have been considered
rather strong meat for the people of
Meigs, even after years of patronizing
the "fanatical' Jelegraph.
For instance, the last Journal has an
able editorial, on the recent speech of
Cochran, of New York, and it's indorse-
ment by Secretary Cameron, in which
occurs ths following emphatic language:
"Let us put the question to ourselves
squarely: Shall we continue the de-
struction of our young men, Of our for
tunes, Of our comfort, peace and happi-
ness, that the murderers, thieves and
fends of secession may have slaves? Or
shall we, by ending slavery, end the
war, and by removing the cause Of it,
once more bring about prosperity to in
dividuals and to the nation?
s~The correspondent Of the N. Y.
Times, writing from the gunboat Cxyler,
on the 4th inst, says there were, in New
Orleans, some 5000 rebel troops, we'll
armed but poorly clothed, and an order
had recently been issued, compelling
every man capable of bearing arms to
join some military organization. The
city was being environed by batteries on
every side, excepting in the rear, from
which the rebels appear to apprehend
no attack, but which, in fact, can be
easily assailed by we'll appointed force. .
The land on that side is swampy, and
the city is urapproachable, excepting by
the shell road and the railroad, but it is
believed that force Of 10000 men
could overcome all difficulties, and cap
ture the city in ten hours after leaving
the deep waters of Lake Barque. The
only forti6cation in the way, is the old
fort at the main passage between Lake
Borgne and Ponchartrain, which is rep
resented to be in a very dilapidated con-
dition, and poorly provided with guns
and men. Once in possession of the
city, QUE forces could hold it agaiast all
assailants, and would doubtless have the
assistance of thousands Of its citizens

Seeding from Secession!

A Convention, recently held at Hat
teras, in North Carolina, at which dele
gates from forty five counties were pres
ent, entirely repudiated the act of that
State in seeding from the Union, and
reafirmed the loyalty and devotion of
the State to the Constitution and Union
as they were. The Convention also de-
clared all the Offices Of the State vacant,
and appointed Marble n. Taylor Pro-
visional Governor, and adopted the Con-
stitution OF the State, and all the laws
as they stood before the act Of secession.
The Governor is empowered to make all
necessary appointments until such times
as elections can be held. After passing
the above and some other acts, the Con-
vention adjourned to meet at the call of
the Chair.
This is most important movement,
and will probably he recognized, as was
the like movement in Western Virginia
If sustained, as it should be, by the U.
s., it will be good precedent for the
loyal men of other rebel States to follow
1t is, at least, important as showing that
there is large Union element still in
the South.

In the Right Place at Last

AAA UAAS A0ASAo q @SoSS Wv We
The St. Louis Republican of the 18th
inst, says that Senator Bright, of In
diana, has Joined the Southern army,
and is to be made Brigadier.
This is according to the fitness Of
things. We have an Ex-senator, and a
member of Congress or two from Ohio,
who ought to be with their associate in
the camp of the rebels. Of all the mis-
erable, servile Northern accomplices of
the Southern traitors, who, for long
years, disgraced the Senate, all but three
or four had been weeded out before the
rebellion fairly opened. The few who
held over are finding their places
Bright has voluntarily taken his place
in the army of the traitors, and Gwin
has taken his, in Fort Warren, invol-
UNFAIRLY as a prisoner, to be tried for
his crime in the Courts, hereafter. All
right! Either in the activities of the
great drama, or in the pages Of Impair
tial history, each one will be assigned
his appropriate place!

Don't You Do That.

LEBANON, Nov. 18th, 1861.
Mr.. Editor. Sir: In your last issue
you talk of diminishing the size of your
paper, or else discontinuing il altogether.
Now, sir, don't do it, if you can possibly
help it, and certainly the patriotic citi-
zens of Meigs County will not allow
their paper to be discontinued, because
they will not pay for it.
You talk of melting your type into
bullets and shooting "secesh" with them;
don't do that, for you might hurt some
of them, and then you would have to
be seen to, removed, sent home to go to
work at something else.
Then with your type shot away, you
would have to seek some other employ
ment; then another thing-we would not
have any Ccunty paper to read, which (,
by the way, We could not do without
very we'll, for We think that your paper
is the right thing in the right place,
and In the right hands.
1t is hard, l know, for man to work
for his neighbors for nothing, and board
himself, and he would have to do big
business at it, or else he could not make
it pay.
So live in hopes-"there is a good
time coming" 1t may be close at hand
and then your subscribers will pay up,

nish list of volunteers as soon as l can

ra-We have, in common with most
other Union editors, said some very
severe things about Gen. Patterson, and
his agency in the disastrous defeat Of
our army at Bulls Run. That some
body was to blame for the slaughter of
our volunteers, and the generalization
Of our forces, no one doubts now, any
more than at the time of the disaster.
But Gen. Patterson has just made a
public statement, which, we must say,
seems to shift the dreadful responsibility
from his shoulders TO one then occupy
ing the position of his superior-in sh ort
placing the responsibility upon Gen.
Scott. He says that terrible, and even
crashing as was the public condemna-
ton which rested upon him, he was
willing, nevertheless, to bear it so long
as the true exposition might have tea
dency to injurc the cause, by weakening
the confidence of the country in the
Commander Chief. But that now,
the motive for silence being removed in
the retirement of Gen. Scott, he, Gen.
Patterson, feels at liberty to yindicate his
own good name!
We may, hereafter, find space to do
Gen. Patterson more perfect justice by
publishing hia statement as length.

~A new sensation has just been
got up by the special Of the N. Y. 7si-
bune. 1t is, that the very name of Vir-
ginia is to be blotted out forever! Con-
gress is to be called upon to do the deed,
and is to do it by changing the terrific
rial boundaries of Delaware, so as to
give the little State all the land between
the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware river,
and to change the boundaries of Mary
land, SO as to give her all the Eastern
counties of Virginia, and to leave to the
State of Virginia, as organized by the
Convention at Wheeling, the territory
between the Blue Ridge and the Ohio.
But, as the new State, organized by
the Convention at Wheeling is to be
called Kanawha, aud all the Eastern
counties not embraced in the limits Of
the new State are to be attached to Ma
ryland and Deleware, there will be no
Virginia left!
