The Cincinnati Gazette is very asnieble news
paper It's editorials If tne 18th inst, are PEI
sssiIaIiy anifable. The kindness, generosity and
humanity ii Displays, are calculated to excite
especial wonderrent. Speaking OF the FIRE opened
.upon the Star Of the West IRON Morris Island, in
Charleston hathor it uses the following refreshing
language.
Itremaius to be seen what course will be taken
by our Government in regard to this most extraor-
binary state of affairs. Would not the arrest CON
viciion and hanging Of score Of the rebel ring
leaders be the most effective remedy some OF
the traitors now at Washington shopid pc com
pTised in the list and also Gov. brown OF georgia
and otkers who have taken the lead IN selzing The
Government forts. The demand IS UNIVERSAL Tor
some PROMPT AND DECISIVE ACTION.
According to this innocent programme of the
Gazette, the Governors of North and South Caro-
Iina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and
Mississippi, as well as a score on more of other
s,rebel rngleaders,'' should be at once taken and
hung, without the benefit of clergy There is,
however, respectfully suggest, one little diff
Guilty in the way of carrying out this charming
proia of our Cincinnati contemporary. These
Governors and ssrebel ringleaders . are all stub
born, obstinate fighting men, and may object to
the harmless process suggested by the Gazette be-
ing applied to their own proper persons. This is
is TO come. These Governors and "rebel ring
leaders are sustained unanimously by the people
they represent; and before they can be taken and
hung, o bloodier contest than any on record must
first take place. This, we apprehend, completely
spells the purely christian arrangement of the
| Gazette. What pity!
| The following para raph is from the same paper
of the same date:
the Southern coast has been still further carried
out by the secessionists of North Carolina and
Louisiana. Our coast defenses have been scandal
lousy left in such a4condfton to invite this
conductor the part of the traitors, who have a
aeGret organization extending through most all
| of the Southern States.
g Traitors ~ Beautiful word that to apply to
| men who have merely obeyed law universally
recognized all over the earth, save in the benghted
regions Of Abolitiondom. Selfpreservation is the
| first law Of nature.n The fortresses in question
were erected for our own protection--not for pur-
| poses oppression, plumber and tyranny We have
seized them, as we had an indefeasble right, and
NE shall use them in selfdefense to the uttermost
extremity of human endurance and sacrifice Of
| this oar amieble contemporary may rest assured.
But, let not our readers misunderstood the
position of the redoubtable Cincinnati Gazette. 1t
is not a sanguinary journal Far from it. 1t may
talk blood and carnage, but it doesn't mean blood
or carnage, 50 far as its personnel is concerned.
Nothing of the sort enters into the imaginatons of
its editors. They are altogether too amiable kind
discreet and forbearng, to risk the smallest chance
Of damage to their precious bodies. They are as
brave as lions at a distance, but gentle as doves III
| close quarters.
| 10 demonstrate the truth Of these observations
/ we will relate an Misunderstanding the tale as it
/ was told to rs, without youching for its accuracy
| but which we believe to be about true, Judging
from the aniable reputation the conductors Of The
Gazette enjoy. In 1856 the Gazette advocated the
cause of " free Kansas, freesoil,' (, Z" freedom
/ and Fremont with great zeal and energy One
of their reporters, sub-reporters, had managed
| to insult three gentlemen, and they determined
upon having satisfaction In the morning one of the
gentlemen met the reporter, spit in his face and
slapped his jaws. An hour or two afterwards, he
was encountered by the second gentleman, who
denounced him in the most opprobrious terms, and
wound up by kicking him block or more. In the
afternoon the reporter unlucky enough to cross
| the path Of the third gentleman, who cowhided him
| dreadfuIly. All these chastisements the reporter
endured with amiability and christian fortitude
| wonderful to behold. Mark the result. The very
next morning this spit upon, kicked and cowhided
reporter, was announced as one of the proprietors
of the Gazette!
In view Of this, who can doubt the amiability,
christianity and powers of endurance Of the CON
ductors Of the Gazette? When they talk war they
mean peace. That is all.
