The Traitor Reynolds.

The late Lieutenant Governor of Missouri,
Thomas G. Reynolds, has issued from Nash,
VILE, Tenn. under date of the Sth inst, Il
manifesto $40 The people Missouri"
lie commences by the assertion that he
is temporarily (0 absent from the State;"
that after the 18th Of May, dissenting from
the policy Of Gov jackson, and believing it
the true policy of the secessonists TO wage
immediate war against the federal govern
ment, he started on his own responsibility
Southwark, to see what could he done about
it, lie has met, he says, with excellent sue
cess, hut does not deem it prudent to state
moro specifically what he has donel lie
thinks the conduct ofthe secesionisrs Of that
State is sufficient evidence of the desire of
the people to withdraw from the Union and
join the Contheiveracy and intimates that
if Jackson should get caught by Lyon, he
will assume the Goyernorship himself, and
trust in Divine Providence for the result
He urges the people to quietly arm them
selves and embrace the FIRST practicable OPP
portunity to strike a blow at the Govern
mcnt. We venture the prediction that Rey-
nolds will continue to keep at safe distance.

A Card from the Surveyor.

EVANSVILLE, May -, 1861.
EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL SIR GU have
been misinformed as to what was said to
Capt. Fowler, of the steamer Dunbar, in
reference to the shipment of provisions from
this port to Paducah, Kentucky. On the
morning of the 2Oth inst, he came to me
inquiring if there would be any objections
to his taking lot of bacon to that town
which he or some one else proposed to buy
of one of our citizens. 1 informed him that
the transportation of provisions to any point
in Kentucky, intended bona tide for con-
sumption in that State, would be permitted
but all provisions and other supplies intend
ed for the hostile States, were prohibited by
positive instructions from the Government.
He then desired my permission to take the
bacon and other articles on board his boat,
which l refused, telling him that l could
give no directions about loading his boat
that he knew the instructions as well as anv
one else that I would examine his manifest
and cargo before he left port, and If any of
tbe prohibited articles were found on board
thew would be stopped
The bacon ecas not purchased, The person
,oho desired to sell 1t being present at this m
terpieao nth Capt. Fourier. On examining
the cargo found 100 sacks of coffee, so
barrels of -four and 10 bales of hay, which
I seized under those instructions. and which
are detained for further orders.
AS you are willing to do justice to Capt.
Fowler, permit NE to inform you that he
was guilty of an act of treason, on
the trip previous 10 the time of this
seizure, in carrying 5000 sacks of corn
from Henderson County, Kentucky, to
Paducah, aehicb he kraelg qCas Intended
for the Rebels at NashUiUe Tenn, 1.-THE clerk of
the boat knew it, and left the boat in conse-
uuence), and which was shipped from Pa
ducah, directly to the rebel camp. Now if
" that gentleman (Capt. Fowler had
complete Justice, he would be prosecuted
and punished for treason and his boat would
be eoniscated to the Government.
Let me here publish the definition of
treason as contained in the Constitution of
the United States, Act. 3, Sec. 8: "Treason
against the United States shall consist only
in levying war against them, or in adher-
ing to their enemies, giVing them cid and
comfort" Respectfully.

zen, no matter where he wassborn, subject
always to the paramount allegiance which
he owes to the United States. The mere
accident Of birth place may be matter of
pride and even pretensioR with come per-
sons, but it cannot affect their allegiance to
this Government. OF all the mischievous
theories which have had their day in this
country, none have been so fatal as that of
Statesrights. as paramount to the right of
the Federal Government. 1t has been the
parent of more than one attempted revolu-
ton in our Government, and at last it has
been used with fatal effect in the dismem-
berment of the noblest Republic of the
world. The secession heresy is one of its
legitimate progeny.

Where are They!

The indianapolis Journal complains bit
terly of the conduct of some of our public
men, who, unmindful of the condition OF
the country and the great necessity for
prompt action, are quietly pursuing their
own private business at home and pocketing
their salaries. Our new U. S. Senator
AS well as the old one who has been care
fully advertised as strayed or stolen -
manifests as much indifference to the honor
of our State as though he had not been en-
trusted with position Of profit and honor.
Where are they? We see accounts daily of
Senators and Representatives from other
States being in Washington making ar
engagements for the comfort Of the soldiers
from their respective states, and urging the
claims of their people with such pertinacity
as to induce the Government to accept far
greater number Of regiments than they
were Justly entitled to according to the quo
ia fixed upon by the Secretary of War
Where are our Congressman We can't
hear of any of them volunteering. Where
are they? Seeking profitable investments,
we doubt not, for their salaries of 900 a
year. While the whole State is in fever
of patriotism, and men are insisting on be-
ing taken into service that they may strike
a blow for the preservation of the Govern
mem. and the honor of the State, our Con-
gressmen are snoozing away at home,
satisfied with their position and pay, and
caring nothing how the State is snubbed or
compelled to assume a lower position than
she is justly entitled to. No interest has
been manifested by them in the outfit or
welfare of the volunteers, and no effort has
been made to obtain positions for our troops
where they might have some chance OF
showing their metal.
As We have nobody to represent us at the
National Capital, we will have to put up
with what we can get. What few regi-
ments we have in the field are likely to lead
lives Of inglorious ease, simply because
those who should be looking after their in
terests, are at home looking after their own
Shame on such Representatives The peo-
pie will remember their zeal and reward il
accordingly.
