{sie.oen " oleiler. hnu we venture TIN!
prediction: Another assemblage of ths
secret conclaye, referred to in our las
paper will extend this order over Ma.
son county, as well as jackson. Lee
gentlemen mark this, and direct some
of their choice epSthets atiCol. Frost, ii

But look at the order. GIN assem-
btages Of secession sympathisers arc pro
ht6ited IN Jackson. county" That is
good. But it would hardly be issued
by true Virginian if no such assem- :
eiages existed. And, if they exist in
jackson county, why not in Mason?-
"AH persons oho haze reason to bezieee

stay al home. y That's better! Colonel
Frost den t name his. game. He points
to the ear marks, and let's them, like
our donkeys here are doing, advertise
themselves. "Those who have reason
to believe they are suspected" Well.
we wonder if any of o1r. sranters'' have
reason to believe they are suspected?-
Ifso, they had better take heed to Col
Frost's order, and s'remain at home of
nights" They can't get into the "Cas-
tie" at Rayenswood, sure! We guess.
they will not try it in Mason again!--
But Col. Frests order proceeds Here
after se1es Of TIE Cincinnati Enquirer are
prohibited edviein the lioaits Of The C5u,.tyl.'
On thisswe make no comment, only to
say that it will hardly do to howl ssAb-
olitionist' at Col. Frost. There would
be butlittle use to prohibit the secret
meetings Of the conspirators, if their or
gan was permitted to do its work. In
Ohio, where the mass ofthe people are
loyal, Its circulation has been tolerated,
as yet, because it's circulation in the
loyal States is too limited to make it se-
rlously dangerous. Its support is
chiefly from the secesh of the border
States, whose organs have been sup
pressed. There, such orders as that Of
Col. arost, and similar ones. issued by
oyal commanders in Tennessee, Ken /
.ucky and Missouri, are, probably, nee
,sssry to prevent the uprising of the
'ebels. We greatly regret the neoes-
ity for such orders. But true men,
ike Col. Frost, know better than we
10, the effect such sheets are calculated I
Q produce upon population so much
livided as is that of the border States.
And, if satisfied that such. publications
re calculated to encourage the rebels,
nd stir intosopen sedition the desperate
nd depraved who have not yet taken
rms, duty and patriotism alike demand
heir suppression. There can be but
tile use tostop the organs Of discord
nd sedition in the South, if they are
ermitted to transfer their subscription
sts to kindred sheets in Ohio, and con-
nue. from thence to pour out their in
sndiary streams with out restraint. Il
