Union, yet, unfortunately, traitors and
Secessionists have found their way into
nearly all the offices of the State. He,
politicians, for. the sake of retaining
power, would betray the people, and
ruin the prosperity Of one of the nobles
States in tho Union. But, thanks tc
the noble free labor host of St. Louis
and the liberty-loving German popula
ton throughout the State the plots OF
| the eonspirators were frustrated, and the
U. S. we're enabled to concentrate suffi
cient, forces to keep the rebels in check
And now, in spite Of the traitors, Mis-,
souri, will be found true to the Union
and her great power aud resources may
be added to the q States above-named
Kentucky, too, is passing through the
ordeal: Her politicians, like those Of
the other Southern States, are traitors Of
the deepest dye, and have almost sue.
ceeled in dragging that noble State into
the vortex Of open rebellion, and conse.
quent ruin. But the hearts of her peo-
pie were always right. And now, that
the power of tho, National Government
is being manifested, treason in Kentucky
will be put down by her own loyal sons.
Kentucky may therefore be added to
the list, making twenty-,hres States
,loysLto the Constitution, and ready
with their men and means to maintain
the institutions of the country AZ our
fathers bequeathcd them to US.
On the other side are the remaining
Slave States in open rebellion. Virginia
is divided in sentiment-the western
portion being as loyal as any State in
the Union; and the same is true of Ten
nessee. It requires no prophets vision
therefore to foresee the result. With
out MEANS and surrounded by slayes
whom they fear, the coasplrators are
waging this desperate game of hopeless
treason against the best Government in
the world.
The utter madness Of the effort to de
stroy the Government of the United
States under these circumstances is so
transparent that our readers may be in
clined to doubt, either the facts thus
briefly stated, or the sanity of the lead
-ers of the plot. But it should be re-
mem tered that these leaders did not look
for such state of things. They thought
the Democratic party in the Free States
would aid them in the overthrow of a
Republican Administration. They made
the grave mistake ofsupposins that the
Democrats Of the North had sunk the
patriot wholly in the partizan. But for
this mistake there would never have been
movement made toward secession
And when this wicked rebellion is put
down, and it is clearly demonstrated,
that outside of the mad oligarchy of
slave drivers, there are no traitors in this
country. secession and its kindred fanat-
icisms will be dead forever.

SENATOR EoCGLAs.

1t is with profound regret that we
learn from the last accounts, that the re
covery of Senator Douglas is scarcely
hoped for by his friends. He is lying
at his home in Chicago.
We have never been an admirer oil
Mr.. Douglas. We have always thought,
! and still think, that to him, more than
any other living man, belongs the re-
sponsibility of the calamities under
which the country now labors. But we
do not believe that he foresaw the con
sequence of his policy, and that he never
n,eant evil to his country.
This, we think, is clear, from the noble
stand he took when the hour of deadly
peril was made manifest. With an eff
fort which rose to the grandeur of moral
sublimity he came to the rescue, and by
his great in fuence over his party friends
made the sentiment of patriotism to tri-
umph over partizanship, and united the
whole North in favor of the Constitution
and the Union.
Senator Douglas, from his peculiar
position, held the destinies of the Union
in his hands. If he had Joined his
former political associates in this trea-
son, his great influence in the North
would have paralyzed the arm oil
the Government, and a revolutionary
usurper would have been seated in the
chair once occupied by Washington, in
stead of the President elected by the
people, Happily for the country, for
the world, and for the fame of the Sen.
tor, Mr.. Douglas, at the critical moment
came to the rescue, and by sinking the
Partizan in the patriot, saved his coun-
try from the anarchy and demoraliza,
ton which has so long cursed our
neighboring Republic of Mexico. In
this he has atoned for the errors-ii
such they were-of his past career, and
his loss at this time would be deeply
deplored by every true friend of hi:
country. We hope still for his recov-
cry, Notwithstanding the critical condi.
tion he was in at the last accounts.

PROMPT WORK.

On the last day OF the. session oil the
Legislature, a. law was passed by an al
most, if not quite unanimousvote, pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors
within two miles of any ehcampment of
soldiers, and authorizing the officers of
the military, as we'll as civil officers, un-
der certain circumstances, 10 destroy the
liquor. The law is similar to those pro-
hibiting the sale Of liquor near camp
meetings and fairs, but with some addi-
tional penalties.
On Thursday last, while in Athens, We
saw what was supposed to be an execu-
ton of this law. On Wednesday night,
some Of the soldiers in Camp Jewett,
found the means of leaving the camp,
and after visiting the grogshops Of the
town, were prepared to play the soldier
on their own account.
Mistaking gate posts for rebel officers,
and pickets for secession armies, they
charged upon the foe, and when victory
perched upon their banners, there were
fewer front fences in Athens than the
owners contracted for Of course stir
was created in town, and no less one in
the camp, It was soon ascertained
where the liquor had been obtained, and
squad of soldiers, with muskets and
bayone.s, were detailed "to execute the
lup,," aforesaid And they did execute
it in short order.
From shanty to saloon, and from
dosgery to hotel, the squad marched.
and in their trail flowed, if not blood,
streams of very bad whisky. We
happened to sec the "battle of the
Valley House" This Was the last en-
erenc ament of the enemy which was
stormed and taken, The proprietor
protested that there was but half kee
of liquor in the establishment, and that
lit should not be sold in Athens. But
the story was not believed, and search
made. when seven and half barrels
and a.quantity of kegs and jugs of the
vilest rot. gut" ever made was rolled
out and emptied into the gutter.
The stencil was nauseating in the ex'
treme, but the sight of the empty casks
was absolutely disgusting. Long plugs
of "dog-leg" tobacco, Jumps of putrid
flesh, dead mice, and other denominations
without name, showed the material:
| out of which delirium tremens are man
ufactured! And tais is the stuff thai
villains sell and fools drink-that sends
madness and Voc into thousands oi
homes, and destroys more lives than war
pestileucc and famine combined!
But, it is free country, and why
shall not everybody sell poisoned whisky
if money can be made by it? This is &
question zee do not propose to answer
But, for the present, Athens, at least, if
meta ''frec country, in that respect. W.
suppose the grog sellers of that place
will have to come to Pomeroy, where the
trade can be carried on with safety and
nrafit -e-..-.-. ... .... = --..

THE LATEST NEWS.

We have news from Washington to
the 18th inst. Everything indicates a
vigorous prosecution of the campaign
by the Administration. Two hundred
and twenty thousand men have offered
their services during the war. No more
three months volunteers will be received,
nor will volunteers for the war be ac-
cepted until those now offered are dis
posed of.
A new Military Department, en-
bracing Eastern Virginia and North
Carolina, has been established, and put
under the command of Gen. Butler, with
his headquarters at Fort Mcrroe. He
has now Is, 900 men under his command,
and more are coming. It is expected
that demonstration will be made on
Harper's Ferry, Norfolk, &C., within the
next week.
A large encampment will be formed, of
picked regiments, on Staten Island,
ready to be transported wherever wanted,
by means of fleet of steam transports,
to be concentrated in New York Harbor
Indiana's six regiments for the U. S.
service are all uniformed and equipped.
The Legislature of that State has called
into service six regiments more, for the
defense of the State Four regiments
more to serve for three years, or during
the war, is the quota of Indiana. An
immense rush is made for places in these
regiments. They are all full, and more
than twenty companies have been re-
jected.
By late order fGov. Chase, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, shipments of pro-
visions to Baltimore and Washington,
may be made by the way of the Penn
sylyania Central and Northern Rail
Roads.
Twenty four large boxes, containing
powder. muskets, and other munitions
of war, were seized at St. Louis the
other day, on board the Siour City
steamer, bound for the rebels. They
were marked g Family Soap" Hope
they will be made to ''clcan OUT some
of the dirty Secessionists.
The presence of General Butler and
his troops at Baltimore has made that a
very decent place Of late. The Grand
jury has actually indicted three of the
mob that murdered the Massachusetts
men in the streets short time since.
This is progress.
Many of the regiments who volun.
teer for three iii onths are changing theil
terms, and are being sworn in for the
war. This is as it should be. It is
not probable that the ''hash" of the Seces,
sionists can be fully settled in three
months from the date of the call, and
to discharge them and gather fresh re.
cruits would be great waste of men
and money.
1t is said that Ex-Goy. Wise, of Vir-
ginia, is dangerously i'll. 1t would be
most unfortunate if he should die be.
fore he is caught. He has been one Of
the leading spirits of the great con-
spiracy. He had his plans laid with
every prospect of success, to. capture
Washington and prevent the inaugura.
ton of. Fremont in 1856 in case of his
election. The unexpected election of
Buchanan, who was tool in the hands
I of the conspirators, deferred the plot
There is not another traitors neck in
all the South, that would SO grace a
halter as that Of Henry A. Wise, and we
hope he may NOT die of his present i'll.

CHARACTERISTIC.

The history of the world shows moth
ing like the present game of treason
now playing by the desperate political
gamblers Of the South The whole plot
is founded upon the most stupendous
falsehoods. The tyranny Of the usurp,
ers makes it death to read a Northern
paper, unless it be tory sheet. And
having thus cut off the people from all
access to the truth, deliberate system
of premeditated falsehood is publish ed
in the lying Secession papers for the
purpose of misleading the people and
inhaming their passions to madness as
the only means of enlsting them
against the Government.
We give sample of this policy from
the New Orleans Picayane. 1t is from
the Washington correspondent of that
paper, published as an absolute truth,
and as such endorsed and vouched for
by the editor. 1t is as follows:
"AU the Massachusetts troops w,o IN
Washington are negroes, ,eith the exception
of t,ro or three drummer boys. General
Butler, in command, is a nattve Of; Libe-
ria. Or readers may recollect old Ben,
the Barber, aoho Kept shop IN Poy7ras
sfreet, and emigrated to Liberiiu soith a
small competence. General Butler is his
son" n 4a.'
Now, probably nine -tenths of the peo-
pie in the>South will believe this mon
st:oas liz, and be lashed into fury ly it.
Here is paper of wide circulation and
commanding influence, whose editor has
met this same General Butler in every
National Democratic Convention, prob
ably, for the last 20 years, who has
known him as a leading Democrat for
quarter of century, who has seen
him in Congress and in the Cabinet,
holding the highest positions which
Democratic Administrations could con-
fer, deliberately declaring that he is a
Negro, the son Of Old Ben, the barber,
whom his city readers knew, and who
emigrated to Liberia, where this son,
Gen. Butler, was born! And to cap the
climax, and fan the fanaticism of his
ignorant readers to fire heat, it is delib-
erately asserted that this negro General,
the commander of the Massachusetts
troops, has under him an army of negroes,
with only two or three white drummer
boys in the whole army of fifteen or
twenty thousand, which are holding Bal
timore in check
: Is it any wonder that treason -four
ishes where the only mental food is
falsehood?
