Wood County Reporter:
How 1t Works.

When will our rulers learn the folly of
.,,empting to concliate their enemies at
tbe hazard of the best interests of the
country
In the vain hope of uniting all parties
at the North in a vigorous support of the
war. imbecile pro slavery Generals have
been kept at the head of our armies; reb-
Ell sympatbizers have been retained in the
Denartments who have done their utmost
to betrsy the country by giving informa-
ton to the enemy; and corrupt scions of
the old regime have chung to all the quar-
termaster and commissary departments of
the army, specializing upon the very life
blood of the nation, while their depreda-
tions have all been charged to the Repub.
Iican Administration.
Out of the very swindles, frauds and
regulations of the men whom the Admin
istration has retained in place or appoint
ed from the opposition, with the best and
most patriotic motives of reconciliDg politi-
cal animosities, and welding together the
Ioyal masses of the North, but with what we
have always deemed mistaken and short
sighted policy, some of the most effective
weapons have been wrought and employed
by the Democratic party against the Ad-
misistration, for dividing and weaken
ing the loyal sentiment of the country.
The recent robbery of the Government
by Democratic clerks injudiciously re-
tanned in the New York Custom House is
only another exhib of the Democratic
principle, which releases the Democracy
from its allegiance to the Government as
soon as it passes from the control of the
party, and makes it party duty to de-
stroy the Government. This every one
does according to his several ability. The
ruling class rebels, while the followers in
the North howl their accusations against
the Government and plumber it. The Gov
eminent has to encounter Democratic
rebellion in the South, the cowardly
rnalignity of ,he same party in the
North, and its robberies when
ever the Administration has mag
unanimously retained it in office, or given
it any opportunity to touch the army ex-
pendtures. If our afflicted country sur
wives all this, it will be miracle of vi
tality.

THE REBELS ON DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.
Tie Richmond Dispatch concludes an
article on the late elections in the loyal
States as follows:
ct may be that Democratic Congress
might propose to the Southern States, as
condition of re-entering the Union, to
legalze slavery everywhere, and this be-
fore proceeding further with tire war;
But even were the South disposed, under
any circumstances, to re enter such state
OF bondage, 1t must be borne in mind that
the present abolition Congress has still
one ear to run. In that time some OF the
most desperate battles the world ever
heard of will have been fought, and the
Yankees will already have conquered Us
or been expelled from our territory. SO
far, then, as the war is concerned, We shall
gain nothing by the late Democratic vic
tor es, at least for the present. As IN the
case of expected intervention, we warn
our people to trust to themselves, and to
nobody and nothing else. Nevertheless,
it is pleasant to fnd Old Abe thwarted in
the dearest wishes of his heart"

81 The New York Tribune has ad-
vices that the three iron vessels building
at Glasgow, which Mr.. CAMERON reports
are intended for rebel rams, are not de.
signed for such purpose. 1t asserts that
our Government has all along been thor
oughly informed on the subject, and that
the vessels building in England for the
rebels are swift steamers designed to run
the blockade.
In regard to the alabama, or 1890" it
says: "The American Consul at Liver.
pool seems to have made every effort to
persuade the British authorities to pre-
vent her from leaving port on cruise
which all men knew was to be piratical.
The Government at last consented to inter-
tere, and the day after the alabama had
sailed issued an order restraining her from
going to sea-"

The PAsSIAO SUCCEss.-The famous
Ericsson battery Passaic, built at New
York, on Saturday tried the experiment of
firing within the turret, and with perfect
success. The Is inch gun was fired three
times, with 90, so, and 35 pounds of pow
der, and $50 pound balls. No difficulty
was experienced; the noise and smoke
were Insignificant; the recoii slight and
easily reducible, and the shock to the yes
sci scarcely perceptible. Many scientific
men asserted that it could not be done.
The success of the achievement is of the
greatest value. 1t will cause revolution
in naval warfare. By means of it the gun
is not exposed but for an instant, and the
gunners bear a charmed life, for so soon as
the piece is fred a thick ball proof screen
is slid across the aperture, against which
the enemy can amuse himself at leisure,
without affecting the feelings of those in
side.
A charge of thirty five pounds of pow
der and $50 Id hollow shot was thrown
from her fifteen inch gun, which weighs
twenty tons, and is nevertheless easily
worked by four men.

The President. Comm, nGer in-Chief of

the orderly observance of the Sabbath by
the officers and men in the military anG
naval service. The Importance for man
and beast of the prescribed weekly rest,
the sacred rights of Christian soldiers and
sailors, becoming Difference to the best
sentiment of 3 Christian people, and a
due regard for the Divine viii, demand
that Sunday labor in the army aud navy
be reduced to the measure of necessity

they defend be imperiled, hy the profana

God and their country, without abandon
ing themselves to vice and immortality"
The first general order issued by the Faith

Independence, indicates the spirit in which

and trusts that every officer and man aoiU

GONG TO VINDIOATE HIMsELF.-The

damnation of some of the Municipalities

position if he can. The country is entl-
tied to know who is at fault.

Mr.. Golden.

One of the first of English statesmen,
Mr.. RICHARD CoBDEN, in recent speech
at Rochdale, expressed views respecting
America in marked opposition to those
lately announced by Mr.. GLADSTONE. 1t
is but two years since Mr.. GOLDEN visited
America, and few Englshmen have had
the advantages which he has enjoyed for
becoming familiar with the people of the
united States, their character, and the re-
sources of the country. After speaking
OF the distress among the operatives in
Lancashire, caused by the cotton famine,
and expressing the opinion that, if private
aid proved insufficient, Parliament should
make provision for their relief, he referred
to the American war, and said that it
would be waste of time for foreigners to
attempt to influence the combatauts. To
Interfere in the war, or to recognize the
South, would do more harm than good,
and fail to bring forward cotton. As to
how the contest was going to end, be
confessed his inability to form any opin-
ion; but if compelled to make a guess, he
would not make the same guess that Earl
RUSSELL and Mr.. GLADSTONE did. He did
not believe that if the war should soon be
brought to termination, it would end in
the separation of the North and South
