with him several interesting trophies. Among them
is a thirty-twO pound cannon ball, which was
shot from Fort Sumter, and embedded in the iron

GALLATIN, April 2, I66I.
The people of Sumner are thoroughly "hred"
The county is in blaze, No less than five or six
companies are being organized. One, which is now
completed, marched this P. NJ. to the depot, expect
ing General BATE from Nashville, and greeted him
with such huzzaS as soldiers only can give. His re-
sponse was one Of the most soulstirring ertenFors
speeches we ever heard. 1t was brimfull of most
brilliant thoughts and ringing appeals which stirred
up the war spirit to the highest point like the sound
of war trumpets. Gen. BATE has the honor of be-
ing the first from Tennessee to offer and raise
regiment. We venture to predict that a more gal
liant officer will not be found in the service At any
rate, our people are willing to trust him with our
boys to maintain the reputation which their fathers
won on the fields of the past. q.

Modern improvements.

How little we appreciate the immense
Importance of the improvements of our
day. Let US look at a single fact as
stated in the Chicago papers a few days
ago, and then see what could be done
without Railroads. The fact referred
to, is the simple statement that there
was then stored in Chicago, for trans
portation east, four millions. fur hundred
thousand bushels of wheat This was the
amount that happened to be there at one
time. Now, suppose there was no way
bat the old one Of teaming it, to get this
wheat to it's destined market in New
York How could it be done? Let us
see!
Drive up your wagons and let us be
off! It is only niae hundred miles to
New York! If you drive 20 miles day
it will only take about forty .fre days to
so through! Hurry up the loading!-
Are the teams all ready? Yes! all ready.
Let US see! At forty bushels to the
team, it will take something more than
one hundred and eighty thousand teams to
haul it off! But no matter for that
Fill up, and let them start! There goes
one! Fill up another, and another, and
still another! Then, you must allow
forty feet for each team! And, conse-
quently, driving in that close procession,
the first team will be in New York so ne
time before the last one is lolded!
No! we don't appreciate the impor-
tanee of osr modern Improvements
The simple exhibit we have given, will
show the fact better than whole vol
ume of argument.

One Good Act.

The civil aud military authorities of
Cairo have united to put down the
whisky and gambling hells which have
so cursed and dem oralized the soldiers
encampcd there. A letter written from
there on the 10th, says:
''rhe military authorities of Cairo,
in conjunction with the civil, are making
short work of the whisky shops and
bawdy and gambling houses to-day
Gen. McClernand S proclamation, issued
this morning, absolutely closing the
doors of all such establishments, and
numerous arrests are now being made
Aud the necessity for such an order GER
tainly exists in Cairo now. There are
but three or four trading est; blish ments
in this city. am told, where liquor is
not sold, and the river street of the place
is med for upwards of mile with the
lowest class Of doggeries. The paymas-
fer is here, and the troops are being
furnished their regular monthly pay, by
which, and the foods of whisky that fol-
low the disbursements, the most damna- :
BILE scenes of riot and robbery have been
of constant occurrence. Thank heaven
the thing is to be stopped now, and the
only wonder is that the order was not
long ago issued.
As there seems to be no ''nigger' in
this, We hope the oelamation of Gen.
McClernand will not be essentially ''mod
fled" That the miserable vampires,
who are destroying ten of our soldiers
with poisoned whisky for every one
killed by the Rebels, should be per-
mitted to infest the camps of our armies
and ply their trade of Generalization
and death unmolested, is certainly one
of the mysteries of this most mysteri
ously conducted campaign. The sneak
ing, cowardly assassins who prowl the
woods, and shoot down Union men from
their secret ambushes are bad enough,
and are doing mischief enough. But
all the murders committed by them
since the war began, is not a tithe of the
wrethedness caused by these heartless,
soulless, human devils. Let them be
suppressed!

E@~ Judge Leavitt, of Cincinnati, and
the Hon. Senator Pugh, are doing
quite large business in the habeas cor
pus line. Gen. Mitchell, who has been
appointed for the defense of the city,
says he has no time to dance attendance
upon these gentlemen in answer to their
writs. He has a lot of Traitors in charge
and the Hon. Senator, who is the stand
ing Attorney for all such chaps, got.
from the willing Judge, the inevitable
writ of ha6es corpus, with a view to the
release of their friends. Gen. Mitchell
refused, of course, to pay any attention
to it. And thereupon, the Hon. Pugh
moves the Court for writ of attach
ment, to have the Gen. imprisoned for
contempt. The Judge is willing, but
afraid. He suggests to the Senator,
'that he had better, at first. only ask
for rule to sho,o cause aoAy the attach
ment ShOHtG not issue.
To this friendly suggestion of the ae-
commodating Judge, the Senator assents,
and nine o'clock, Tuesday, was set as the
time to hear it. Gen. Mitchell, by his
Attorney, told the Judge and the Sena-
tor that he really had not time to attend
to these little by-plays, however inter
esting they might be to those engaged
that he was on the eve of leaving for
Kentucky to oppose the march Of the
Senator's and Judges friends, now
threatening to sack the city, and did not
know when he should return. That
when he did return, if successful in re-
pelling the invaders, he would call upon
the Judge, &C., and asked that the case
be laid over until the safety of the city
was assured. But that did not suit the
Senator, and the writ was issued requir-
ing the General to appear at 10 o'clock,
OF be arrested and imprisoned for con-
tempt! What the result may be, re-
mains to be seen.
1t would be very nice arrangement
if fudge LeaTitt and Senator Pugh could
imprison Gen. Mitchell for contempt,
just in time to let their friends, Breck-
inridge, Buekner and Zollicofer, with
their Rebel armies, into the city. But
we rather guess it won't work. The
people of Cincinnati will hardly con-
sent to have their patriotic Gen. i'm
prisoned just at the time when the
Rebels are at their doors. Have the
"Knights Of the Golden Circle" any
hand in these movements?

10 the Military C5mmjtfees Of the State:
The QuartcrmasterG General of the
United States, BY his official circular
dated October 1, communicates the fact
that the Government cannot supply q
sufficient number Of blankets to meet
the wants ofthe volunteer army. Theap-
preparation by cur Legislature in aid of
the United States having been exhausted,
the State authorities are compelled to
rely chiefly upon the General Govern
ment to elethe and in other respects
provide for the comfort of Ohio volun-
teers. The inability Of the Federal au-
thorities to furnish blankets to our SOL
diers, whose health and efficiency are
threatened, leaves no alternative to your
State Executive but direct appeal to
the people. In addition to the duty
with which you are already charged, to
aid in the procuring of blankets for re-
cruits, you are hereby specially and
most earnestly directed to solicit con-
tributions from the people of your re-
spcct:ye districts for our volunteers in
the field, and to supply deficiencies in
the camps. You will appeal to them
without delay, will receive donations
of wooden shirts, drawers, socks, gloves
and blankets, and will purchase at rea-
sonable rates all the blankets which in
your Judgment will be serviceable, Sc
lecting such as are nearest the army
standard You will communicate to me
the names and places of residence of all
the donors, and will forward to the
Quartermaster-General at Columbus all
the goods you may receive or purchase.
[ will not doubt a prompt and generous
response to your appeal. The many
and cheerful contributions of the peo-
pie Of Ohio to our noble army are the
best assurances of their readiness to do
all in their power for its protection and
support. Signed

Governor Of Ohio.

Highly Important from New Orleans.


A dispatch from New Orleans, of the
4th inst, to the Richmond Examiner,
tells of one of the most important
achievements of the war SO far. This
information is, that the New York block
aiding squadron have dug passage
through the mud of one of the five
mouths of the Mississippi river to the
Sand Spit, which commands the whole
Ave of them, and now have the Yin
ce:nleS, Water Witch, and two other
xassels of the squadron to protect the
prompt erection of works, which in less
than a week will command all five of the
mouths, passes OF entrances to and from
the Mississippi river. Once properly
built this work alone will absolutely
control the communication Of New Or
leans with the sea as completely as a
blockadins squadron of twenty ships Of
war could do.

all that our Southern brethren care
about at this time, particularly. 1t is,
in fact. all they arc fighting for. now
And if they can accomplish their ends,
without further fighting, they will cease
to fight! The truth is becoming mani
fest that the people are to blame for all
the trouble ,rought upon the country.
If they had not elected Lincoln there
would not have been any war.
All that Davis and his friends wanted
was the control Of the Government
They told the people that war and de-
vastation would be the penalty Of their
rash act if they voted for Lincoln. But
the voters of the nineteen Free States
were so stupid, or SO insubordinate that
they would not take the warning! And
what else could they expect? Davis, and
Floyd, and Thompson, and Hunter, and
Wise, and the rest of the real nobility
had the control of the Government AL
they asked was to be '.let alone" by the
people! Was it to be supposed that they
would quietly submit.to be turned Out

to slavery-when he is, himself, to be
its subject!

Then. and Now.

The contrast between the condition
Of the country now, and on the 4th of
March, when Lincoln was inaugurated,
is thus truly and tersely expressed by
the N. Y. Post, which says:
Six months ago tomorrow, the great
conspiracy of the Southern slave -aris-
tecracy blossomed out into open re-
bellion.so On the 18th of April the in
surgent Davis commanded that fire upon
our flag and faithful garrison in Fort
sumter which thoroughly awoke the
nation to its peril. 1t was memora-
ble'day for Americans, and those who
experienced its anxious hours will hand
down to their children story Which
has no parallel in history.
A short half-year has passed since
then. The 18th of April found the aa-
tion utterly and pitiably disarmed, and
our crafty enemies armed at all points.
The conspirators had diligently used
their great opportunities. The sworn
servants Of the nation had robbed its
arsenals of:Se6, /, 600 muskets, its treasury
Of six millions dollars; had dispersed
our navy and the most faithful among
its officers on the most distant seas; had
sent our small army to the farthest from
tier lines; had placed the most impor-
taBt military posts in the hands Of Trai-
iors ike Twiggs. They had deliberately
destroyed our credit abroad and at home;
and having in every way tied the people
hand and foot, these audacious aristo-
Gratis proceeded to revenge themselves
for their frst political defeat. They
believed themselves secure; they had
prepared their masked batteries; they
bcheld already twenty-nine millions of
people meekly submitting to $4,000
pampered, lat or hating aristecrats.-
They played a great game-and they
have lost it.

passed since the day of Sumter, and see

Very OnainOuS.

We have never quite lost our faith in
Lincoln, much as has been said about
him in the Democratic organs, and some
other organs, not quite SO Democratic.
But we must confess that that faith is
getting little shaky, and here is the
reason:
On the 18th inst, the notorious
VaGilandigham, made a four -and "a half
hour speech at Hamilton, in which,
after rantins on all other subjects in his
own peculiar style, lie made the an
nounoement that he expected very SOON
to be an earnest supporter of Lincoln!
And after repeating, in several forms,
that he and his party had come to the
support Of TYLER and FILLMORE during
their Administrations, he again declared
that he expected soon to be an earnest
supporter Of Lincoln!
Now that announcement is either u
prophecy of terrible evils to the country,
or it is the most desperate thrust yet
made at Old Abe. A pretended support
of the President, by Vallandigham,
would be sufficient to blast his reputa-
ton; while such change in policy as
would win his real support, would crush
out forever the last hope of the patriot
We trust, therefs-e, that MI Vallandig-
ham will not give his support to the
President! Because, if he does it hypo-
critically, it will ruin Lincoln; and if in
earnest, it will be the evidence that the
country is lost beyond redemption
Don't do it, Val!

Many of her characters are life-ik ke,

We find more than the usual amount
of patterns, and a sweet little ballad
"Bid me Good Bye" which pleases US
very much. The '.Receipts" for table
