Rg Bob Tyler, renowned as the son

~Bob Tyler, renowned as the son
of his illustrious daddy, John Tyler, Of
blessed memory, has at length found
the latitude of Philadelphia quite un-
congenial to bis spirits, and rather un-
propitious to the growth of his "se-
sesh" principles. Being one of the F.
F. VS. of Old Virginia, he was OF
course born to Office. These becoming
scarce for men of his stripe in the
Quaker city, he HES to Richmond, and
there he is appointed "Register of the
Treasury" Good Office, that, no doubt.
Yet it is an Office, and offices were
made for Tylers? When the locofoco
paper in Philadelphia called the Penn
syluan;an, lost the teal at the treasury
it had been sucking for so many years,
master Bob lost it too, and be and the
paper went down together so quietly,
that their immediate neighbors knew
naught of it. After all, Robert is
among his friends again. A traitor
among traitors-a rebel amid rebels
Good bye, Robert Tyler, wish we could
say the same to some others, who we
think would benefit this State as you
have done Pennsylvania-by leaving.

Dr.. WORKMAN COMING AGAIN.--We
are pleased to announce to our readers
That this justly celebrated Physician
will again visit Gallipolis at the urgent
request of his many friends. He will
be at the American House on Saturday
and Sunday, September 7th and 9Th
DR.. Workman is too well known here to
need any recommend from US, having
travelled here over two years up to
1859. We would say however to all
those afflicted with any form of chronic
disease, give him call. His charges
will be low to suit the times, and much
lower than formerly, so be authorizes
US to say. Remember the time and
call early.

ESeveral locofocos of our town
have lately predicted that General Cox
would be driven out of the Kama wha
valley within ten day, unless we send
him reinforcements. How do they
know? Is the wish father to the
thought? Have they means of knowing
the number of the rebels better than
Gen. Cox? Should not wonder if it
was so. Birds Of feather, &c.

EEThe Hon. Thomas A. r. Nelson
exerted all his power and influence to
induce the people of East Tennessee to
resist The action OF the State and the Con-
federate States. He got himself elected d
TO the Congress Of the United States,
and, whilst endesvoring to make his way
to Washington, he was caught BY the
Confederate authorities, taken to Rich
mond, and imprisoned as rebel against
the Government. Not being able to
stand the little Inconvenience Of i'm
prisonment, he wrote letter to JEFF
Davis, promising. that, il released. he
would be quiet citizen under the Con-
federate Government, and, upon this
promise he was released.
We have always had high opinion
Of Mr.. Nelson, but his act. under all the
circumstances, is as cowardly a one as
a coward ever committed. The case of
Mr.. Bridges however, who, like Nelson,
was elected to the U. S. Congress. and
ike Nelson, was caught by the Confed-
crates while attempting to escape to
Washington, is still more curious. He
didn't wait to be put in Jail. but pro-
cured his discharge by pledging himself
to his captors TO raise regiment to fight
against The United States. And he is
now raising his regimentl

~The current of events in CALI
polls was somewhat varied last Satur-
day morning, by the birth of a young
earthquake. Those Of our citizens,
not addicted to early rising, enjoyed a
rocking of this mighty planet. as unex-
pected as rare, and which few care to
experience again. The shock took
place about fifteen minutes past 5 A.
NJ, and lasted about two minutes. The
vibrations of the earth were very SEN
sibly felt, and sufficiently violent to ring
door bells, open doors, &c. Fl. .''iF
No perceptible noise attended its pro-
gress. The motion seemed to be from
the South, toward the North. So far
as we7can learn, no damage whatever
was done by it. Those persons who
were out of bed walking about, felt no
motion whatever, whilst MANY were
awakened from sleep in consequence Of
the jarring of china ware, or violence
OF the motion. The motion resembled
that Of skiff when affected by The
waves of steamboat, though not to SO
great an extent. Have our seseshers
had any special visitation, about Cape
Girardeau or New Madrid? An earth
quake! Trulywe have fallen on strange
times. y A comet early in the season,
and now an earthquake. What next?
Anything worse? Yes,ASecesss;io1.

GEN. RosEcRANs AND THE PRESs.
Gen. Rosecrans has issued the follow
ing general order from Clarksburg, Vir-
ginia, which we sincerely trust will be
obeyed by those concerned. Interest
ing as it is to get the very latest move
ments Of our troops, yet every one must
see that the safety Of our armies, as well
as the success of our armies, is jeop-
ardised by such publication. Here is
the order: a. .'r@ ...
"The General commanding the Army
OF Occupation in Western Virginia and
the Department of the Ohio, invite
the aid of the press TO prevent the
enemy from learning through it the
position, strength and movements Of the
troops under his commend.
Such information is Of the greatest
service TO the enemy, and deprives the
commander Of our own forces of all the
advantages which arise from the secrecy
Of concentration and surprise-advan-
tages are constantly enjoyed BY the
rebels, whose press never appear to be-
tray them. (Signed)
W. S. ROSECRANS.

at Is high time that the people OF
the North understood the nature of this
war-that they understood that it is a
war for liberty, and that it will be waged
while there is a man left at the South.
If The Union is to Be restored, the t0ar

in Gallipolis men are found who urge
honest, unsuspecting men to become
subscribers, and thus unwittipgly aid in
supporting this vile sheet. The agent

tended only for circulation in brothels,
or houses Of i'll fame, who should en-
deavor to palm it off on moral. pious
men, becomes respectable when COM

RHINocERos IN THE RIvER-On the
10th inst, collision occurred between
the steamers Key City and Luzerne, OF
the Mississippi, in the vicinity of La
Crosse. The Luzerne had on board the
circus, trained animals, &C., belonging
to Dan Rice. The cage containing the
trained rhinoceros, weighing over 1000
pounds, was knocked into the river.
The door Of the cage was open, and the
animal fastened with a chain and ring
in his nose. Some of the meu-in the EN-.
ploy of Mr.. Rice watched day or two,
in hopes the monster would make his ap-
pearance; but supposing him TO be
drowned they left. Subsequently he
was discovered frolicking in the Missis-
sippi, but sank on being approached.
At the last accounts, he had taken a
slough, and the La Crosse Democrat of
the eth inst. thus records one Of his
land pranks: as a.ra-
Sunday afternoon, Charles Wrightson,
F. W. Brown and Robert Eggleston,
while roasting green corn on the bank
of the slough, FIVE miles below here,
we're half scared to death by hearing a
heavy tramp and in few moments the
Rhinoceros as he appeared here on the
occasion of his first visit-in July, minus
the blanket and chain in his nose, rushed
upon them with a terrible below, catch
ing Eggleston on his snout and throwing
him, as he says, at least fifty feet over
and back of him, breaking an arm and
two ribs in the fall. The monster
plunged into the river, and the other
two persons badly scared but not
hurt, procured buggy, took the seat
out, filed the box with grass and
blanket, and brought EggIeston to his
home in this city, where he is now
under the care of Doctor Cameron.
The RIBS were evidently broken by the
snout Of the animal, as the flesh was
badly torn. m lul s3issi III
The Rhinoceros was seen the forenoon
Of the eth swimming in the slough,

and capture him. r.

~No small amount OF information
has been furnished JEFF Davis and bis

the employ of the Government. and who
themselves have only been able to fiut-

derived from that neyer-failing source
to denizen of that city, viz: the o. S.

ate meal or purchased an article Of

active in promoting the cause of the
traitors than these despicabie creatures.

its attendent horrors and evils, to which
their own sex are liable from the un-

be lacking in those finer qualities
which make the true and loving woman,
an object Of alteration.
From common bawd we expect
only the fruits of depraved taste and
vitiated understanding. We pity but

done long since. Americans are pro-
