FoURrEES TRAITORS in CoUNciI.-The
the city and State of New York, held a
meeting at the Astor House, on the 9th
ult, and after passing a series OF high
sounding resolutions, and filing their treach-
erous hides with Jersey chamgaign, adjourn
ed, satisfied that they had done their duty to
posterity and to the Democratic party, which
seems-as appears from someIof their resolu-
tions-still to be in the land of the living.
It's not astonishing that there should be
fourteen traitors in New York, but that they
should have the effrontery to bIazon their
shame before the world, passes belief. To be
lukewarm in the present contest, would seem
to be degradation enough for the meanest
/ Democrat, but to fetter the hands of the Gov
eminent when it Is struggling for existence.
to applaud the acts ofmen who have trampled
upon our flag, insulted our nationality, plum
dered our treasury, and defiad every moral
and social obligation-this is business emiz
nently fitted for such men as met in New
York last Thursday.
We are notunmindful of the fact that there
are men in our own midst whog claiming
to be Democrats, are doing every in
their power to embarrass the Government
and who daily talk of "cSheessious," and
compromise and peace, when we have {
menaced capital, dishonored flag, obstruct
ed commerce on the Mississippi, pirates OF
the seas pursuing our merchantmen, ant
the gibbet threatening every Union man il
! the South. They only ask just what Davi
asks :" Peace
! We say, however, to those people VIII
advocate these dishonorable attempts t
} procure peace, that they are most efficient
ly serving treason, and giving as much al
and comfort to the enemy as if they sen
General Beauregard copies of Secretar
3 Cameron's private dispatches, or deplete
our arsenals for the use of che rebels. An
i it behooves the patriotic people of the Mort
i to keep vigilant eye upon the traitors i
their midst, and promptly rebuke any al
g tempt to bring dishonor upon our flag.

Ltbrarv Association.

The Board of Directors of the Library
Association, instead of calling the stock
holders together to nominate candidates for
Offices, have assumed the right to take the
duty of nomination into its own hands
This assumption may be very satisfactory
to those dressed in "little brief authori-
ty" but may not be equally satisfactory to
the " sovereigns who are to decide who
shall and who shall not rule over them
For one am persuaded that the permanent
cy of the Institution depends greatly upon
al avoidance of all dictation and tTickery
in the election of officers, and I can see no
reason why the fair and unobjectionable
plan for placing candidates in the field,
adopted and carried out at the two last cleo
tions, should not be continued.
These remarks are not made from any
objection to the ticket presented by the
Board, but simply because the Board has
disregarded the rules established to prevent
dissatisfaction and to secure q friendly rival
ry in the choice of affairs. As the associa-
ton is not in a state of war, there is no
reason why martial law should be proclaim
ed and the established usages be set aside.
l therefore suggest meeting of the Share
holders on Friday evening to nominate a
! Regular Ticket in opposition to the Irregu-
lar Ticket nominated by the Board OF
Directors. A. SHAREHOLDER.

The cavalry regiment ordered to be rails
ed in the counties bordering on the Ohio
River, is fast filling up, and in many details
the organization is already perfected. Con-
rad Baker, Esq, has been appointed Colo
mel; Mr.. Carter, of Rising Sun, Lieut..
Colonel, and Jno. S. .Gavitt, Esq, Major.
Capt. Owen is recruiting in Posey, Captain
Brow in Vanderburgh, Capt. Walker in
Warrick, and Capt Barter in Crawford.
Within few weeks the regiment will be in
camp. We have been requested, by the
officers of the regiment, TO lay before our
readers plan proposed for furnishing hor-
ses to those unable to buy them, and for Sc
curing to every man horse in case of loss
Every one selling horse to a member of
the regiment who is unable to pay for it,
can be secured, by an obligation given by
the soldier, whereby the yender may draw
the pay of the vendee, until the horse is
paid for. A form of this obligation, drawn
by Judge Baker, and declared by him to be
sufficient, can be seen at this office. Itsecures
the purchase money Of the horse, payable as
fast as the soldiers wages become due. No
one need hesitate about disposing of their
horses to the members of the regiment. The
pay will be certain.
The Army Regulations state that cav
airy soldier who is dismounted by the loss
of his horse, and who is unable to replace
the horse, shall thereafter during the time
of his enlistment, serve on foot The Re-
giment in order to guard against this con-
tingency, propose that each member shall
pay into common treasury of the Regi-
ment from fifty cents to one dollar month
thereby creating fund for the purchase of
horses for those who may at times be dis
mounted. This arrangement will keep the
whole Regiment mounted during the war.
We commend these plans to the attention
of those wishing to enlist. To those who
have horses for sale, we would state, that
Colonel Baker viii draw the recruits
money and pay it to the owner of the
horse, until the last cent of the purchase
money is paid.

THE New GUN-The trial of the rifled
cannon yesterday proved it a perfect success
in every respect. At an elevation of TWEEN
ty degrees, it threw seven pound ball
three miles and half. The quantity of
powder used was one and quarter pounds.
The workmanship of the gun reflects great
upon the " boys" and is an evidence of the
fact that we have workmen among US VINO
understand their business in all its details
AS defense to the city it is invaluable, and
will prove n terror to all invaders. The
railroad employees have organized an artil-
lery company, and, with this new cannon,
thew will be an efficient addition to the
Home Guards.
