hsS~The Republican papers of this State
almost without exception, are bitterly abu.
Sive Of Senator Cowan, because he has had
the manliness io resist several of the un-
constitutional and oppressive measures of
his party. He, however, need have no
fears that his reputation will be injured by
the malicious attacks that are being heapod
upon him. The people admire states,
man of courage and integrity, and more
than all, they admire it when it is shown
in favor of the right. His own party may
desert him, but he will find an army Of
friends, more reliable, honest and valua-
BILE, rising up in every part of the Com
monwealth. Let him perseyere in his
sound course. - Compiler.

Colonel Rodney Mason.

This officer, whose name is inseparably
connected with that Of GAINESVILLE, is re-
ceiving fearful shower Of curses from
the press for his unparalleled polToonery
in surrendering a strong fertilization,
well gmrisoned, to an inferior force of
guerrillas armed with shot-guns. We
have conyersed with some loyal citizens
of GAINESVILLE, and they pronounce his
conduct as cowardly beyond description.
We learn that MASON and one of the
guerrilla Captains made complimentary
speeches to each other at the surrender!
We suppose all hands then got drunk
We wonder how much mason was paid
by the guerrilIas for selling out his COM
mand? The Louisville Journal gives the
wretch a terrible but very just excoria-
ton. It says:
1t is scandalous thing that Colonel
Rodney Mason was entrusted with the
command of our troops at Gainesville
He is a poltroon. This was known many
months ago-more than a year ago. lie
was at Bull Run. His own men charged
him with seeking place of safety during
the fight, and some of them asserted that,
TO their personal knowledge, he buried
himself behind log. His name became
n by-word throughout his regiment
None supposed that he would ever pre-
sumo to make his appearance in cpau-
letles again. But he persuaded Governor
Dennisop, Of Ohio, to appoint him to the
command of another regiment, promising
that, at the first opportunity, he would
wipe out the foul stain upon his name r.
His next battle was at Shiloh, and there,
at the first fire of the rebels, he started
and ran for his life, followed by his regi-
ment. General sherman charged him
openly with base coWardice. lie should
have been cOurt-mariialed and punished,
and we cannot understand why he was
not. But instead Of that, the miserable
hound was entrusted with the important
command at GAINESVILLE, and we see the
result. In the name of heaven aud earth,
how long shall such things be?
II remarks, in another paragraph
we learn irom the Olncinnau tm-tie,
that Col. Rodney Mason, who commanded
the Federal troops in tho infamous sur
render az GAINESVILLE, was accused by
General sherman with coWardice at Shi-
lob, Whether coward or traitor, we
hope he will be hung or shot il the facts
OF his capture were as they are stated
The country needs Just such an example
as his trial and execution would make
Let him be arrested forthwith
The whole army officers and soldiers
hereabouts, will shout a hearty amen Ia
that. Such treachery and cowardicc
must be punished terribly, or our army

perhaps for two, five or ten years--God I

that there were some evils connected with
the Federal Goyernment-and no human
Government is perfect--still we affirm
that they were evils which not one in five
hundred thousand ever was conscious Of
feeling. They were Imaginary eUi1s for ihe
greater part and the evils which were

with the least Of the evils which are
consequent on a state Of civil war. What

that few hundred negroes should be

blockaded, or Virginia devastated by
100000 soldiers; or Tennessee and Ken

A Long Tramp.

A young woman named Elizabeth
Ramsey arrived here last night from
Washington county, Arkansas, having,
like many others, been driven from her
home by the guerrillas Her father and
mother dead, and her two brothers (the
only remaining members Of che family
besides herself) being in Prices army,
she was left alone, at the mercy of every
marauding band that came along. In
this situation she conceived the desperate
idea Of making her way 10 an uncle in
Chicago. She accordingly, with six dol
lars and half in her purse, started on
her journey. Shortly after leaving home,
she was stopped by party of guerrillas,
who, finding that she was on her way
"North," robbed her Of her money, and
treated her in the harshest manner. She
informed US that she sometimes suffered
from hunger, but occasionally met with
generous-hearted persons on the road,
who deeply sympathizetl'w ith her, and
relieved her more pressing wants. The
wandering exile finally succeeded in get
ting beyond danger and reaching the
Pacific railroad, over which she arrived
last night. With the exception of the
trip by railroad, the whole of the distance
from Washington county, Arkansas, was
accomplished on foot.
The poor creature appeared this morn
ing at the Central Police Station, and was
much Frustrated by her long and tedious
tramp. She was miserably clad, and is
afflicted with weak eyes. She tells a
clear, straightforward story concerning
her troubles, and evidently is an intelli-
gent girl. Her two brothers. now in the
rebel army are named Frank and John
and are aged respectively fifteen and
seventeen years.
She is now properly cared for at the
Central Police Station, and will remain
there until arrangements are made to send
her TO her relatives in Chicago, st. Lou!
