Treachery Everywhere.

There seems to be no department of
our Government in which traitors have
not insinuated themselves. A member
of the Cleveland Artillery, informs the
Leader of that city, "that after the
taking possession of the enemy's camp
at Laurel Hill considerable number of
letters were found which had been sent
by our soldiers, chiefly of the Fourteenth
Regiment, to their friends at home
How these had fallen into possession Of
the enemy, it is difficult to tell. The
letters from the interior were all dis
patched by special messengers to the
Post Office at Grafton, and none of the
messengers had ever been seized. It
seems probable that treachery must ex-
1st in some of the Post Offices"

What did He Want with Them?

From letter in the Democratic Dis
patch, published in Gallipolis, from its
correspondent at Gauley Bridge, we
copy the following extract:
Gas I write, thirty-tw slaves Gall wo-
men) are returning home, from where
Wise and his marauders had taken them.
They were too hasty in their retreat, and
had not time to take them on. Wise re-
ported all along the Kanawha, from
Charleston up, that some twenty thou
sand Federal troops were coming, and
numbering all the slaves, and to hurry
them off to place of safety 1t is no
uncommon thing to see slaves returning
home"
There is food for reflection in the
above, but We do not care to comment
upon it at present.

County Convention.

Just as we were going to press, call
for Convention of the "Union men"
of Meigs County was handed to US for
publication. It will be found in its ap-
propriate place. We have neither time
nor space to say more than, that we
cordially concur in the recommendation
We req ret to learn that several gentle
men to whom the paper was presented
refused to give it the sanction of their
names. This would seem to indicate,
that the late mis- named Democratic
Convention at Columbus has supporters
an this County. Whether they will or
ganize and form ticket or not we can
not tell. We noticed the names of some
of the leading Democrats of this place
on the call. We have heard that the
leaders of those opposed to united
stand for the country have strong h opes
that in consequence of the absence of a
thousand "Union" men from Meigs
County, fighting for the Constitution,
they will be able to carry the County.
1t may be so. But we think they
place too great reliance upon the stu
pidity and bigotry of their followers
We know that the loss of thousand
Union votes this fall, in consequence of
the absence of our patriotic volunteers,
will be just that much to the advantage
of the faction which would bring dis
grace upon onr armies as we'll as ruin
upon the country. But we don't be-
lieve that with all this advantage, they
can carry Meigs County into the camp
of the enemy.
Let every true ''Union'' man in the
County, regardless of past political
differences, meet as true patriots should,
and in pursuance of the call, devise such
policy as will, in unison with the move
ments of true men everywhere, rescue
our country from the peril in which it
is placed by the treason of factionists.

@-The Galhpolis Dispatch is offered
for sale. The reasons are not given.
But We strongly suspect the editor is
not prepared to give very cordial sup
port to the Secessionists who have man
aged to get control of the Democratic Or
ganization. Wemay be mistaken in this.
but we infer it from the fact that there is
not word of Endorsement of the doings Of
the Convention, although the resolutions
are published. Itwould be very strange
if the editor really approved the position
of the party, that he should receive its

Rebel Outrages in Southern
Kentucky,

The Louisville Journal of yesterday
says:
n party of six young men, between
the ages of fifteen and twenty, arrived
in this city on Saturday evening from
the vicinity of Columbus, Kentucky.
Four of the number are named Busby
and the other two named Harp. These
young men give a distressing account of
the state of affairs in the vicinity of Co.
lumbus. On Sunday last an officer from
the Southern camp at Union City visited
the neighborhood Of Columbus and
warned ten families to leave within two
hours. There was some hesitation on
the part of the Union men, and they
were called upon again before the time
expired and warned that they could
choose the alternative between hanging
and leaving
Mr.. Busby, the father of two of the
young men who arrived here, is an aged
man, nearly blind, and has a family of
six young children. In addition to that
embarrassment, he had a large crop
ungathered, and vast amount of busi-
ness unsettled. He was forced, however,
to gather together hastily whatever he
could, and, with his family, was driven
away from his home. There is no accu-
satlon whatever against the individuals
thus driven from their homes save that
they entertain Union sentiments. The
young men alluded to- who arrived here
on Saturday evening, had sad expert
ence on their travels to this city. Their
feet were blistered, their clothes torn,
and their flesh lacerated. They were
forced to travel at night and lie by du-
ring the day, in order to avoid scouting
parties of Secessonists, many of whom
they encountered on their way. The
party left this city yesterday for Shelby
county, where they have relatives.
That is the way men are treated where
the Secessionists have the power. And
the only reason that every loyal citizen
in Ohio is not treated in the same way
is simply for the want Of power Give
those who are now plotting by open and
secret means to cripple the Government,
such position as will make it safe for
them to do so, and they will initiate, if
they do not surpass the barbaraties of
their Southern friends. 1t may just as
well be accepted as fact, by every loyal
citizen, that his life and property will
be at the mercy Of the merciless mob, if
the accomplices of the Southern traitors
succeed in getting control of the Gov
ernment of this State. Loyal citizens
need not hope to escape, because they
may be the means of helping the con-
spirators into power.

"sharp stick:'
"The Enquirer calls the Bangor DEM
ocrat, which was destroyed by mob, a
"Union paper" and declares it was de-
stroyed by ''intense Abolitionists." The
quality of the Union sentiment of the
the Bangor paper may be inferred from
the fact, it declared the Northern States
now occupy precisely the same ground
toward the South that the British En-
pire did toward the American Colonies
in the Revolution. 1t will be remem-
