Loan Agents in the West.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN, have just received
September 27th) a letter from o wealthy old
farmer located in central county Of Indiana,
complaining very much against the non'sp
pointment Of loan agents In either Decatur or
Shelby counties, of that State. Each Of these
counties have sent near thousand soldiers TO
the war, and cons quently have a good many
poor families left behind 10 be supported by
the remaining patriots is, the gentle
man thinks, the reason the Government don't
appoint. The counties Of Rush and Johnson,
adjoining, says, my "War OF 1872" cores
pondent, have not turned out so many troops,
yet they have agents appointed to receive the
seven and three-tenths per cent. loan. He
thinks this "slight t"-an attempt to "cut
their acquaintance" No doubt $780, 900 could
b. subscribed in each of these counties, Deca-
tur and Shelby. were there agents appointed
otherwise, perhaps. not $4,000 will be ad.
vanced. The farmer suggests the appointment
Of Hon. VIM. J. Robinson for Decatur, and Jno
Elliot. Esq, for Shelby. Grcenburg and Shell
byville are the county seats, and are the cen
tres Of rich agricultural countis, having each
population of about three thousand.

CALIFORNIA ITEMs.-The Agricultural State
Fair opened at Sacramento on much greater
scale than heretofore Persons who have at
tended the State fair at the East, state that the
exhibition of stock at Sacramento equals the
exhibitions at the National Fair at Richmond
three years ago, and Chicago two years ago.
A new directory Of San Francisco, under the
supervision OF parties regarded as undOubted

fully canvasscs the basis for estimating the
present population of the city at s3,223, com
posed of 10000 white males, $1,000 white ie-
males, 5000 Chinese, and 1000 colored. Con
sdering that the city polled IL ,l25 votes at the
recent election, the estimate of the directory
appeass not too high.
The same authority rates that 1,0l3 wooden
buildings were erected In San Francisco during
the year ending with August, being above one
eighth of all the buildings the city contains.
1t is the general remark from 6scertained
facts that San Francisco was never SO prosper
Gus as at present.

REBEL REGIMENTS FROM VIRGINIA IN KEN
TUCKY.--On Sunday last, two regiments of the
Confederate army arrived at Bowling Green,
and took up their quarters in its immediate
vicinity. They came from Virginia, and We're
transferred by rail direct to the locality Of
Warren county, of which Bowling Green is the
county seat. This was all done 80 quietly that
nothing was known of their movement until
the rebels were in their new quarters. The
Course of travel was by the Virginia and Ten
nessee railway TO Nashville, thence by tho
Nashville and Louisville road to Bowling
Green. The distance from the latter. named
place to Louisville is about 90 miles, with good
travelling facilities to that point
1t is also known that there are more troops
in course Of transportation from Virginia to
join the rebel invasion of Kentucky soil. We
did not learn to what command this detach-
ment of the Confederate army belongs, but
surmise that it may be portion of that under
Gen Lee, as he has suddenly disappeared with
his troops from his former position In Virginia
and his whereabouts have lately been un'
known Cincinnati Press, Sept. rs.

THE NAVIGATION OF THE POTOMAC

THE NAVIGATION OF THE POTOMAC.
The firing Of shells from one Of the points
Of Occoquan Creek, last week, into hay-load
ed schooner, has caused the general circulation
Of the statement that the navigation of the
Potomac Is closed. This has been followed,
naturally, by q rise in the price of heavy arti'
cles Of general consumption such as coal, hay,
&C., which we receive by the river, and must
embarrsss the chartering and sailing of vessels
for this port with Government stores. The
coal dealers here are said to have put up the
price Of coal from six to eight dollars per ton.
lis not believed by naval officers who have
been cruising on the river, that the point OF
the Oecoquan Creek, from which the hay loaded
schooner was fired into, was fortified with a
view TO impede the navigation, for which pur-
pose its advantages are 20 much less than those
of many other places, where the channel is
much nearer the Virginia shore. This Deco
guam battery is. in fact believed to have been
constructed to prevent the landing Of troops
there, on the supposition that our generals
might mediate flank movement in that di.
rection against General Beauregard.
Upon the general subject of the closing of
the Potomac by batteries on the Virginia shore,
1t may seem to be surprising that the enemy
has not attempted it before, considering the
number Of places at which it may be done. and
the fact that he is 80 admirably supplied with
artillery. He has probably been restrained
from It by knowing that he would be bepromptly
dislodged from any point at which he might
make the experiment, and that any stoppage of
the navigation which he could effect would
only be temporary. Our Government, of course,
cannot occupy the whole line of the Virginia
shore Of the navigable Potomac. All it can
do, is to hold the naval and military forces in
readiness to break up and scatter any force
which may actually attempt to take position
on that line and to fire into vessels moving mp
and down the river This the Government has
done and is doing, aud it has no doubt OF it
power to keep the navigation substantially nn
impeded hereafter, as 1t has been heretofore
We do not believe that there is any occasion
for serious alarm upon the subject.
This whole difficulty, greater or less OF tn
occupation, by the enemy, Of the right bank q
the Potomac, will be ended by the retreat, o
defeat, of his main force, of which the head
quarters is at Manassas, one or the other @
which events cannot be long postponed.

Heliglon in the uonle-Circle.

Religion is often made repulsive to chill
dren instead of attractive. BY the way in
which their parents speak Of it they begin to
think it is something very auscre and gloomy
and that the God they are taught to serve is
a being without love for his creatures for
when the subject OF pioty is referred to, it is
only to deprive them Of some fond pleasure
| and introduce them to some unwelcone duty.
Church and Sabbath-school, and study and
prayers are referred to as though it were a
painful task to attend to them. 1t is not
represented as desireable TO attend the Sab
bath school and to 60 to church, as de-
lightlul exercise to pray, and as G pleasing
recreation to read and study. They soon be-
come accustomed to look upon these things
as dull dry studies. When they DO wrong
they arc sometimes roproved in such fret
ful aud passionate mood that it is just calcu-
lated to give them distasto fot q piety that
always drives but never leads them to what
is right. Some parents go to the opposite ex-
treme, letting their children take their own
course, instead Of training them in the proper
course and firmly, yet with all affection, in
sistiag that they should walk therein. Fssm-
ness should be used combined with love ;
but commands should never be made unless
it is intended they should be obeyed, and
threats that are never carried out are worse
than useless.
There are other ways in which piety is
made to appear undesirable to children.
Perhaps at family worship if that is prac-
ticed at all, the longest and least entertaining
chapter in the Bible is read in . dull, monot-
onous strain, which leads them TO think the
Bible is an unattractiye book, and the read
ing Of it is only an intrusion. Then long
formal prayer is offered, which the family
group have listened to thousand times with
out any emotion, and were only glad when it
was over. There is interest ia the Bible,
and there is power in prayer let family
worship be conducted with Judgement and
entered into with earnostness, and then It's in-
nuence will be sweet and powerful in all af.
ter years.
There is often wanting subdued, religious
cheerfulness, instead Of that morose silence
or selfish severity that SO often prevails in
the homccrc!e. Children will play and
ought to play. To reprove them for it is un-
reasonable, and leads them 10 suppose that
thei rparents are opposed to their happiness.
When they commit acts that are improper
and SINFUL then is the time to reprove and
punish in such way as to show the earnest
regard of tho parent for his children's well
fare, and then the correction will be needed

change, whose " Sun "mig ght safely 60 down
to rise no more until the close Of the war.
We who preach against sin, must dcpounce
treason as cne Of its specific forms. There
is not reason that would urge us to pray for
the country and for the Government that does
not call loudly for our c.bhorrence of traitors.
With US treason is not mere political here
sy, destitute of moral character, but a foul
sin, and it is for want of distinct conviction
Of the true moral character Of this crime, that
we have seen so much vacil4tion in regard to
it in the loyal States. Because it puts in
jeopardy political interests, men have labored
to narrow it down to political question:
Those who would be shocked at the bare
thought of hesitating in the choice OF sides in
regard 10 the African slave. trade, or any in
fcrior form of plumber, seem to think 1t ex-
cusableto hesitate here. And yet a moments
thoug ght would show them that murder, theft,
arson, and perjury, on scale frightfully i'm
menae, are all parts of this so-called political
question. IF there ever was a moral ques-
ticn, touching every virtue and every vice,
pregnant with the fate of millions, living and
yet to live it is that which the nation is now
discussing with the rifle and the sword.--
Treason against this Government is treason a.
gainst God and against humanity, and tht
| Church, reused and inhamed by this aspect
of it, will fan the fires Of patriotism with tho
holy breath of religion.
No ingenuity Of crime can alter its true
character no apology can mitigate it.
Treason is only the viler when seen in the
light of the secessonist theory, or when at
tempted to DO excused by the election of
Lincoln. When criminal ambition Is strong,
reasons for doing its bidding may well afford
! to be weak. The leaders Of this rebellion,
with whatever OF romance surrounded, by
whatever genius or courage characterized, are
auong the worst Of mankind and should al
ways be remembered as the deliberate authors
Of the misery now affecting the nation. Ard
il seems to US that whoever ROW pratos OF
" peace or Of "oliye-branehes, whoever, by
word Or deed, in public or private, orally Or
in print, does anything to weaken the Govern
nlont at Washington, to give " aid and COM
fort to the enemies of the republic, or to help
in the escape of traitor, is at heart, Ill SYM
pathy with the basest treason On which the
sun has ever shned.
