An Important achievement

A telegram from New Orleans of the 4!h
inst, to the Richmond Examiner, tells of one OF
the most important achievements Of the war, SO
far. Thus il embraces information that the
United States blockading tquudron have dug a
passage through the mud Of one OF the five
which commando the whole fve of then, and
now have the Vincennes, Water Witch and two
other vessels Of the squadron to protect the
prompt erection Of works, which, in less than q
week, will command all Ave of the mouths,
passes, or entrance, to and from the mississippi
river.
Once properly built, this work alone will ab.
solutely control the communication Of New Or
leans with the sea, as completely as blockad
| ing squadron of twenty ships-of war could &C
compiish that object Washington Star.

q knights of the Golden Circle"

We observe that the lying, slandeFous arti-
Gle from the Ohio State Journal, in relation to
the existence of the "Knights of the Golden
Circle" in this city, Is beingicopied extensively
throughout the country. This malicious SLAM
der on the good people Of Columbus, was started
BY the Journal, and we call upon that paper to
produce its evidence, or retract Its falsehood.
The editor of the Journal, though stranger
among US, should not allow this outrageous
slander to circulate without contradiction, or he
should have the members Of the reasonable
society arrested forthwith.
Good citizens, Democrats and Republicans,
have called our attention to this slander upon
the fair fame of our people. We have replied
to the article Of the Journal, but it has not had
the manliness to notice it.
There are not more loyal citizens in the United
States than those Of Columbus. We brand the
whole statement, in regard to any Of our citi-
zens being members Of secret reasonable Or
ganization, az false and infamous.
werequest the St. Louis Republican and other
papers which have copied the Journals article,
to make q note Of this contradiction.

A singular Coincidence

A very singular coincidence occurred at Lex.
ington, during the stay of the Fourteenth Ohio,
which, more sadly than anything else I have
heard, illustrates the degeneracy of come
of Kentucky's noblest names. Anxious to
pay all possible respect TO the memory Of the
aGreat Commoner," whose fame Ohio yet
guards ss jealously as his own Kentucky, Col,
Steedman marched his regiment out 10 the
tomb of Henry Clay. They formed silently
around the grave, and at the very moment that
these loyal troops from another State, on their
way to defend Kentucky from invasion, rever-
emily presented = arms at the toomb Of Ken.
tucky's greatest Statesman, the degenerate son,
James Clay, was brought into the railroad
depot, a prisoner In the hands of other loyal
troops, arrested on the charge Of treason Can
all the annals Of this unnatural rebellion pre-
sent more unnatural coincidence?

NJ GreeleS, the Bull Run General, does not
shout onward to Richmond these times, but he
Ia engaged in still more pestilent course. He
saws this is rebellion got up for slavery; that
none but those In the slave interest are In the
rebellion. In short, slavery is the cause OF the
rebellion, and to end IL slavery must be crushed
out. He would have come nearer the mark II
he had said anti-slavery was the cause; for II II
had not been for Abolitionism the ambitious
denagogues of the South could never have
turned wheel In this rebellion. Such fellowa
AZ Greeley have furnished the material to these
demagogues, far more important to them than
AIMS and ammunition. An unhallowed ambi-
sion was the cause Of this rebellion. 1t is just
The same cause that came near producing re-
heIliou In New England in lSl4 Her politi.
clans were out Of ffavor-couldn't be Presidents,
tore;su ministers, etc.--and they made use Of
tSs s5inplpg interest of New England, damaged
by the war, to stir up secession from the Fed
er.I Governments. There was no other cause
tor this rebellion. Nobody had suffered under
the Federal Government; il had wronged ne
body. Greeley, In these eifusions, is damaging
the CAUSE, and bis paper, in justice to the friends
of the Union, ought to be suppressed as incen
diary and helping the enemy.
We copy the above from the Louisville Dem
ocrat, one Of the strongest Union papes = 10 ths
United States. It is alpfally truthiuI!ss

what Does it Mean

On Monday last, o. gentleman, named De
Costar, reached Detroit, from New Orleans, BY
way of Cincinnati and Toledo, and was quietly
arrested and spirited away to the House Of Cor
rection, where he was closely confined, and, for
q time, all persons were forbidden 70 see him.
He was refused counsel, and no satisfaction was
given him as to the charges made against him
or the cause Of bis arrest. In the evening fol-
lowing, being fully impressed with the belief
that an outrage had been perpetsated, some gen.
tlemen went to his prison and demanded the
right TO see the prisoner. They were politely
informed that Mr.. De Costar was not in; he
had been spirited of, whence and by whom they
could not find out. He had with him, when ar.
rested, some fifteen hundred dollars, six hun
dred Of which was in gold. He was relieved Of
this small change while in prison. There II
villainy, under the cover of authority, no doubt
at tina bottom of this mysterious affair. Gin

The annual election In the county on Tues
day last, resulted in complete victory for the
true and long tried friends of our glorious Un'
ion. The Democratic voters Of old Licking
we're too intelligent to be seduced into new
and untried organization, mainly composed Of
men whose suffrages had aided In putting the
political power Of the North under the control
of the Wades, the Chases, the Brinkerhoffs, the
Stewards and the Summers. They, therefore,
adhered with patriotic fervor to their organiza.
tion, feeling that to be true "Union savers
they must be ever ready to concede TO all por.
tions of the confederacy those equal rights and
privileges which are the bond Of the Union and
on which alone our preservation as free and
united people can be secured.
Nearly all the townships Of old Licking did
we'll, but special honor is due TO the Democracy
of Licking, Franklin, Madison, Hanover, Perry

Recent investigations show that there are
not, and have not been, rebel fortifcstions on
the Potomac at any other place than Acquis
creek. There are three batteries, with twenty
guns, which are designed to defend that termi'
nus OF the great Southern Railroad, and pro-
tect Richmond and Fredericksburg-not to him
der navigation. The latter design, 1t Is now
evident, they never entertained. The guns ai
