The Hon. John Sherman the War
and the Slavery Question.
The Hon. John Sherman SAID in z
sneech the other dav.

SpctCu liz Otlcl udy
No man was more sincere, more hon
est in his determination never to inter
fere with the institution of slavery in
the Southern States than [ was. Ny
opinions are still unchanged. Butts some
times [ begin to think that the Almighty
Providence that controls the actions Of
men according to His own will, has per-
mitted this terrible and overwhelming
calamity to come upon US, in order to
point out to us the seat Of this disease.
And if it becomes necessary for US, in
order toprotect our government, in order
to vindicate our flag, to allow our mill
tary authorities to emanci pate the slaves
upon whose labor this rebellion rests,
then 1 will say-let Gods will be done
(Cries Of: amen! amen'l I do not think
that as member of the Senate I have
any power to interfere with slavery
where it now exists. And these men
can never forfeit the benefit of their To-
cal laws in that respect except by their
own treason. By our laws, and by the
laws of all countries, treason is pun
ished with Death; and it may be punished
by confscation and the loss of property.
When man takes up arms against his
country, ordinarily he is subject to the
loss Of his life and property; and if by
losing his slave, that slave becomes a
free man, with right to his own wife
and children, and the benefit of his own
labor, who will weep? Not l. Cries
of "Not L." "Not TT
Now do not misunderstood me; do
not misrepresent me. repeat to. you
in all candor. I say as l have said be-
fore, that in times of peace and quiet
and harmony, Congress has no power
to interfere with this question. But no
man North or South has ever denied the
doctrine, that when a man takes up
arms against his country, he forfeits his
life and all his property to the will Of
the loyal people of the country.

A telegraphic dispatch to St. Louis,
that Gen. Fremont was ordered to
Washington to be tried by Court Mar
shal, and that Gen. Wool was to super
cede him, created the most intense ex-
element 1t was feared there would be
a revolS. No man in the Union ever
had such hold upon the people Of the
West as Fremont. They believe sys-
tematic effort is being made to sacrifice
him on that very account The Ger
mans and Irish, especially, are indig-
nant at the proceedings The St. Louis
Democrat denounces it as an outrage
Later dispatches from the Government
at Washington direct, contradict the re-
port. The excitement occasioned will,
however, teach those at head quarters,
what are the real sentiments of the peo-
pie in reference to the ''fre in the rear
upon the gallant Fremont.
The number of Regiments in Ohio
have gone up to GO, of which last num-
ber, Lieu. D. Campbell, of Dayton, is
appointed Colonel Of course these
regiments are otall full. But in spite OF
the systematic and seemingly concerted
efforts of the leading papers to abuse the
State officers, and disparage their mill
tary movements, we believe there is
no single State in the Union that has
furnished her proportion of the general
army, better than our own abused and
slandered State.
Immense preparations are making ii
New York to carry troops by sea, or
some formidable expedition. 1t is to
be hoped that blow will soon be struck
that will have some Significance. lie
New Orleans be taken, and an outlet
thus made for cotton, and the rebellion
is substantially suppressed

THURSDAY, October 10Th.

After wading through the intermina-
BILE columns of the city dailies of yes
terday, in search of some definite news,
we are compelled to give up the pursuit.
There are plenty of surmises, guesses,
conjectures and speculations of what is
to be, but nothing reliable.
The story of the day before, of the
shooting of Breckenridge in a cornfeld,
in Kentucky, turns out to be, as we sus-
pected it would, sheer hoax. An ar
ticle which we publish, from the Wheel
ing Mteligencer, shows him to be in Vir-
ginia, preaching treason, and stirring
up the Rebels.
Now, that Governor Dennison has
been bounded from political life by the
sepoys of the press, tardy justice Is
being done to him. A column of cor
respondence, official and undisputed,
published in the Commercial shows that
the Governor has been the victim of the
most cruel and unmerited injustice ever
meted out to man in the earnest effort
to perform the arduous duties Of an Of
fee.
We expected to receive the result of
the election in time for this week
paper, but up to the time of going to
press {Thursday noon) we have not
heard any particulars. The CONNER
cias of last night, says the Union ticket
is elected by Large majority. We
knew that, but the Commercials state
ment is only a guess, having no returns
to found it upon. Next week we will
be able to give the result, not only in
Ohio, but in several other States.

E5" Col. Forney, Of the Philadelphia
Press, sees the dawning hope Of an hon
orable peace. In one of his late letters
to his paper, from Washington, he says:
~ am neither a prophet, nor the son Of
q prophet, but [ think we are on the
road to an honorable and lasting peace.
1t will be conquered peace-a peace
won at the cannon's mouth, sealed with
the blood of Traitors, and established
on the basis of the old Constitution, to
last, let us hope, through enduring gen
erations. There is one subject upon
which men may freely write, and that is
the overthrow of the Southern despot-
ism, and, by consequence, the proclama-
tiun of enduring peace. 1t is true we
must reach the end through war, and
carnage, and death. But we will reach
it. When Gen. Mcclellan encounters
Gen. Beauregard he will annihilate him,
and will compel surrender that will be
followed, I predict, BY a perpetual peace.
This is bold language, but am willing
to stake my reputation upon it; and there
are some reasons for the faith that is in
me-"

SATU RDAY, October 5th.

From the Cincinnati dailies of this
date, we Gull and eendense the following
abstract of news.
A severe, but not general, enga cement
occurred on the Sd between about S 900
United States troops of Gen. Reynolds
command, and a large Rebel army, said
to be Is, 900, under Gen. Anderson, near
Cheat Mountain, in Virginia. The
fight lasted several hours Our loss,
ten killed and eleven wounded. The
loss of the enemy said to be 500 killed
and wounded. We captured 13 prison
ers and number of horses and cattle
The object of Gen. Reynolds expedition
being a reconnaissance of the enemys
strength and position, was completely
successful.
The war ship, ,Susquehanna, block.
aiding Hatteras Inlet, captured, and sent
to New York the Rebel schooner, San
Juan. 1t also captured several other
vessels attempting 80 run the blockade.
Nearly all the Rebel vessels hoist the
British flag when in sight of our ships,
and many of them are allowed to escape
by that means.
Nothing very important from Ky
The banks were subscribing literally to
the State loan. A fight is reported in
Clinton County, between a squad of
Col. Haskins' men, and company of
Rebels under Ez-Congressman Crisman,
in which the Rebels were badly whipped.
A number we're killed, and Crisman
wounded.

class of British steamers, with muni-
tions of war, equal to the outfit of a
mighty army, has run the blockade at
Savannah, and has supplied the Rebel
armies with guns, amunitions, clothes
and equipments! And, that JEFF. Davis
soldiers might not suffer, one of our
own steamers loaded with supplies for
the Forts at Hatteras, has fallen into
the hands Of the Rebels, together with
the crew, who are prisoners! We might
extend the list indefinitely. But the
above is probably enough without the
sickening details? Oh! how long!

MONDAY, October It'll.

Iue uaIll papers Vi SATURDAY Plcsohu,
upon the whole, more hopeful pros
pect. A spicy little correspondence be-
tween "Jessie" Fremont and President
Lincoln, in reference to the charges
brought against her husband, Gen. Ere
mont, is published. If woman's rights
were the order of the day, "Jessie"
would be in the seat Of some of our
rulers.
Gen. Price has fed from Lexington at
the approach of Fremont, and it is
thought will abandon the State of Mis-
souri,. Although he has many times
the force that Fremont has to meet him,
yet he will not risk battle.
Gen. Sturgis, in Northern Missouri,
has defeated the Rebels under the no
torious Gen. Harris, routing his army
with great slaughter and driving them
across the river in utter confusion, ca p
turing their en- tire transportation train
and equipage.
1t is reported that Breckinridge was
shot in cornfeld by Union man and
killed. But this needs confirmation.
Gen. Zollicoffer, who was marching
upon Louisville with about thirty thou
sand Rebels, has retreated towards Ten
nessee, which seems TO indicate that no
heavy reinforcements were being sent
into Kentucky by Beauregard. The
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois Regiments
are still pouring into KY, and it will
not be many days before an army will
be concentrated there that will sweep
the Rebels out of the State.
The great Rebel army on the Poto-
mae has fallen back from the neigh
borhood Of Washington towards Ma
nassas again. 1t is announced, We hope,
conclusively this time, that "Washington
is safe Let decisive blow be new
struck at the heart of the rebellion.
Everybody, almost, is investing in
the Government loan. Secretary Chase
has secured the eutire confidence Of the
capitalists Of the country, and can fur
nish any amount of money necessary for
the prosecution of the war. The credit
of the Government never stood as high
as it does at this hour.
1t is feared by the people Of Kansas
that Price, and the hordes of plunderine
murderers which make up the Traitor
armies now in Missouri, intend, on be,
ing driven out of that State, to overrun
Kansas and murder the people there as
they did in the days of the Lecomptor
villainy. Fortunately these despera
does are not now backed up by the Ad.
ministration as they were in the reigns
of Pierce and Buchanan.
A dispatch from St. Louis says that
Fremont is moving with tremendous en-,
ergy at Jefferson City; that the banks
and capitalists of St. Louis, having en-.
tire confidence in him, are raising all
the money he may need; and predicts
that in week he will sweep the Rebels
from the State. All this is good, but
We hope for something still better before
we go to press.

WEDNESDAY, Oct0ber Oh

W NSI'''' c"'
The daily papers of yesterday, say
that the steamer Bermuda, which broke
the blockade at Savannah, furnished for
Jeff. Davis two Armstrong guns carry
ing 16S pound shots, II rifed cannon
ready for instant use, 10000 blankets,
$4,000 Enfield rifles, 100000 cart
ridges, $50 barrels of powder, besides
shoes, clothes, medicines, &C., sufficient
for the present wants Of the Rebels
How she was permitted to land is per-
feet mystery. Mr.. Adams, our Minister
to England, had notified our Govern
ment of the loading Of the ship, and her
intention to run the blockade. Her in
tentions were well known and discussed
in the newspapers for the last two weeks.
And yet she was permitted to land in
perfect security! Unless another run
away "nigger" is caught soon, people
will begin to grumble, we fear!
We are gratifed to learn, however,
that Gen. Mcclellan reoiewed his troops
in the vicinity of Washington!
It is also stated that the Rebels, at
Norfolk, Va, have the steam ship Meri-
nsae, nearly encased with rail road iron,
and that as soon as completed she will
break the blockade there, and go out as
privateer 1t would not be fair to
disturb her until she is completed
And we do not therefore expect her to
be disturbed.
Spies still swarm in Washington
Every determination of the authorities
in any of the departments, is instantly
communicated to the Rebels! We be-
lieve that every department is infested
with these perjured scoundrels.
Thousands Of Union families are fly
ing for their lives, from their homes in
Missouri. The Rebels are prowline
through the State in squads, robbing
the Union men, and numbering or driv-
ing them away. What property they
can't carry off they destroy. There
will scarcely be slave left among the
Union men of that State 1t is made
we believe, "a part of the duty of Rebel
soldiers" to steal the slaves of Union
men. That, of course, is all right, as
there is then no probability of any oi
them getting free! Of course that pro
gramme needs no "modifying." And
if our boys hurry up, we will soon have
men enough there to keep any of these
slaves from running off, while those
who stole them are gathering up any
scattering ones that may still be left in
the hands of loyal men!
1t is announced that there are now
10000 Rebel troops at Columbus, KY,
prepared for desperate strike at the
Union. How long will it be before
Ohio is made the theater of the war!
Have the Rebels been waiting for the
result of the election here to know the
strength oftheir sympathisers? Wewoult
not wonder. And yet that will not b.
a fair test, as many persons voted il
such a way as not tc show their real
sentiments. AN who voted with Val
landigham, will not join the Rebel army
even if it should penetrate into GU
State.
Our friend, DR.. J. H. Coulter, of Co.
lumbus, is appointed Consul to Monte
video, in the Republic of Uruguay, il
South America. We don't believe the

We hope to have something better b,
