Hon. William Allen says IL Could
h0ve been settled.

Hon. William Allen introduced Messrs.
Ewing and Ranney at the war meeting in
this city last Friday evening. In Introducing
Mr.. Ewing, he said: a ,r
Had the measure proposed by this gentle.
man IN the Peace Convention been adopted,
THIS WAR WOULD HAVE BEEN A.
VERIFIED, and, therefore, there would be no
occasion for this meeting"
This is the testimony of our distinguished
fslow-cItizen, who has narrowly watched
matters, and who had not spoken in the
presence ofa public audience si1ce the com.
mencment Of the war nntil Fr day evening.
A fearful responsibility, then, rests some.
where. The matter could have been settled
the testimony OF Douglas, given under the
solemnity Of his Senatorial oath, is, that II
could have been settled; and in that testimo
ny ex Senator Allen concurs. s.-- CtikscotAe

could the people Of nine States, by ratifying
the Constitution, break up the compact un-
der the articles OF confederation solemly en-,
tered into by thirteen States? ..iA
"The question is answered at once by re-
curing to the absolute necessity OF the case;
to the great principle Of self preservation; to
the trSnscendant law of nature and OF ma
ture's God, which declares that the safety
and happiness ofsociety are the objects at
which all political institutions aim, and to
| which all such institutions must be sacri-
| feed"
Here he fairly by his course Of argument
admits what every body knows to be true,
that in this Government as our fathers made
it, it is the constitutional right OF the States
10 have slavery il they wish it-that such
right is part Of this grand political instilu.
tion established by our fathers, and. that to
divest The States Of that right requires the
sacrifice Of the Government as originally
made. And he claims that the necessity for
such sacrifice exists and that it must be
made. lie thinks it must be done upon the
same principle upon which nine States, by
ratilying the. Constitution of the United
States, broke up the Confederation entered
into by the original thirteen States. lie
believes that the aim of this Government
was to secure "the safety and happiness of
society" "to which all such institutions
must be sacrificed" HI has argued himself
into the belief that this Government does not
secure the safety and happiness OF society;
which IS the object Sat which all political
institutions aim, and to which all such inStI-
tutions must be sacrificed" And therefore
ha; &c for h 81 rhaf
our "a theirs OF nine States did with the old
Con e leration of thirteen States. He says it
"must be sacrificed" Thus Mr. Bingham !
writes himself down on Abolitonist, and a
Government des tructioniSt, and declares
that already the Union Of thirty four States
which once was is no more. Bingham is the
ayorite candidate Of the editors ot the Advo |
cate, and is gravely put forth for the support
of men who love the Union as our fathers
made it, who are willing to give their lastd
dollar add even life, il need be. to sustainit.
Honest voters have no more love for the !
Advocates canidate than they have to hear
his dangerous principles advocated, ID
| have supposed that we were as a Gov.

Additional Particulars of the
Death of Gen. K. L.. MeCOOiS.

From Capt. Burt we hare obtained
some additional particulars of the sad
catastrophe, ending General R. L.
Nc Cooks earthly career. tes
The General was not riding in ad.
vance of his whole brigade, as the first
accounts led usto suppose, but between
the several regiments composing it
The 18th regulars and part of the
1st Ohio Cavalry, had passed over she
road ahead of him. The rebel assas-
sins lay in waiting in brush adjoining
the road all the morning, and mana
ged to remain undiscovered by the ads
vance body of the brigade. 1t is sup
posed that they were fully appriscd by
citizen spies, of the Generals helpless
condition and mode Of travelling, and
formed an ambush for the special pur>
pose Of his assassination. They were
about one hundred and fifty strong,
and partly composed of Forests Cav
airy, and partly of residents of the
vicinity. The individual who shot the
General is known to be one of the lat-
ter. The cowardly murderer goes by
the name Of Charles Woods.
The General was accompanied by
his usual escort of twelve of the LIST
Ohio Cavalry, on the day of his death.
Unfortunately, just before the gueril-
las commenced their work, he sent
three of these with orders to different
portions of the brigade. At the time
the attack was made, three others were
off the road, looking out for q camping
round. The escort was thus reduced

We cannot, must not fritter away another

tour dear Southern brethren 1t is high
time that we knew our men-that we knew
the enemy--a wicked band of consplrators
and dealt with them In a becoming man

made Immediately to feel the crushing power
with which they are contending. The ape-
culiar institution" should no longer remain
untouched A stroke there will make them
feel. The property Of every rebel in arms
should be confscated. Such blow to their
pockets would make them feel. If all such
blows fail, the neck should be- the next spot
in order. Try them there, few hundreds Of

The DImcuIty with Gen. Grant.

Much interest has been ielt in the causes
which tended to Gen. Grants supsrcedure,
as reported from Washington. The Buffalo
Commercial has this explanation, which we
hope is unfounded:
We learn from trustworthy source that
the difficulty in relation to Gen. Grant, the
hero of Donelson, to which the telegraph
has lately made allusion, grows out of his
gross habits of intemperance 1t is said that
he left the army for this cause, some years
ago, and afterwards, in q good degree, re-
formed, but that, since he returned to mill
tary duty, the old thirst bas seized upon him
and he has yielded to its cravings. If so, he
should be pitied rather than reproached. No
man should indulge in any but kind words
to an officer who has fought the deadliest
battle ever known in our history. We should
all over leok his failings for the sake OF his
heroism.

Next to the movement against the rebels,
the election of the United States Senator
from the State of Ohio most interests the
Northern-bOrn population Of Washington.
All who have at heart the success of the war,
earnestly desire the presence of Ben Wade on
the floor of the Senate, in the War Depart
ment, in the White House, and in the Mill
tary Committee Room. There is no single
man under this Government to whose cour-
age, zeal, wisdom and disinterestedness men
look as hopefully in every department of the
public service in this most trying time, as
they do to Ben Wade. Every voter in Ohio
should struggle for his reelection. Wash.

transportation Of the sick from point to point
under orders of the Generals in command.
She has now gone to Mound City, under
the medical direction of DR.. Hubbard, Bri.
gade Surgeon of Missouri Volunteers, and
will then be turned over to Assistant Sur
geon Wagner, United States Army, who
will remain in charge. His orders are to
take boat load of sick and wounded from
Mound City Hospital TO Cincinnati-unless
other more urgent service should be required
for the wounded in battle.
The boat was purchased By Gen. Halleck's
order, and has been placed in the hands OF
the Western Sanitary Commission to be fit
ted up and furnished. They have supplied
the bedsteads, mattresses, bedding and ell
hospital supplies of every sort-exeept med
icines. They also provide male and female
nurses-at their own expense--and several
surgeons (of whom one or more came from
Boston for the purpose) render voluntary
service. The hospital outfit is complete in
every respect.

How the VirsInians try TO Escape the
Draft. I'D


The muster rolls just handed in to the
colonies of the Ieth and 10th regiments are
the most ridiculously curious documents it
has been our luck to encounter. In their
anxiety to get clear of military duty, hun
dreds of the men have attached to their
names the record of some permanent injury
or horrible distemper. The rolls are thus
made complete catalogues of all the ills that
hesh is heir TO-. The great number Of one
eyed and deaf men, the prevalence of chron-
ic. .diarrhoea, and rheumatism in all their
varieties, is truly astonishing. Some par
ties, who perhaps could think of no particu-
lar af1iction, have stated in general and
comprehensive terms, that they were 'physi-
cally disabled" and in 'had health"
One old gentleman, who avowed himself
hypochondriac, actually appended his will
and cOdicil to his signature. Great numbers
have signed themselves exempted by the
Governor and numerous citizens, though
only perhaps making a pair of shoes for q
clerk in the Treasury Department, have fol-
lowed their names with the imposing an
nouncement, "employed on Government
works." s 49, sie. y 80
1t is our opinion that that this city has
already contributed her quota to the army;
but we hope these muster rolls will be pub
lished, that the world may know. the men
who would shirk to muster themselves, and
only parade (in many instances assumed
diseases when Il cir country calls for SOL
