! WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Tho Secretary
of War directs that officers ard soldiers
who are or may be taken prisoners shall,
during the mprisonmenet, be entitled to
the same pay as in he active service.
Notwithstanding the tone of some for
eign journals on the stone blockade, &C.,
dispatches received at the State Depart
ment are regarded as conclusive of the
complete restoration of good foeling
with tho Governments of England,
France and other continental States.
The Secretary State on Friday drec-
ted the release of all persons taken from
abroad in insurgent armed vessels.
1t is true the rebel authorities refused
to exchange the pirate Smith for Col.
Cocoran on the ground of difference of
rank.
1t is reported that the Government
has determined to place the rebel priva
teers now in New York and Philadelphia,
on the footing of prisoners Of war. Or
ders have been issued removing them to
military prisons, with a view to exchange
them for citizens of the United States
imprisoned in the South. This will pro-
badly result in the release of Colonels
Corcoran, Lee, Coggswell, Woodruff,
Wilcox, Vodges, and other officers, now
held as hostages. 1t is generally believed
that an exchange of all prisoners will
speedily follow.
1t is understood that the tax bill is be-
ing perfected in details by the Commit.
tee of Congress. 1t proposes a moder-
ate rate oftaxation on most articles ofnec-
essary consumption, with highh rates on
distilled liquors and articles ofluxury; also
on legacies and probatcs, on passengers
by railroads and conveyances, and on
newspapers and telegraphic messages
This bill will give to United States
bonds sure specie paying security.
The Committee are also considering
the subject of national banking law,
requiring deposit of U. S. stocks as Sc
curity for bank notes circulated as cur
rency.
The President stated in his converse.
ton with Conway Of Kansas, that he had
appointed Lane Brigadicr General with the
express understanding that he should
serve under Hunter. Lane expresses his
willingness to do so. 1t was never con.
templated that his expedition should be
Independent Of, offensive to, Hunter
Lane must receive his orders from Hun.
ter. The President ill be glad if Hun
ter, acting within orders and sense of
duty, can give such orders as will be sat
factory to Lane.

Reduce the Expenses.

The people have SO far quietly submit
ted to the wrongs that have been heapcd
upon them, but there is now feeling
abroad among the masses that the time
is near at hand when forbearance will cease
to be virtue. The enormous, bold and
reckless plundering Of the Government by
those whose duty it is to guard its interests
and protect its rights, the unparalleled
extravaganza in every department of the
government and the high salaries paid to
officeholders call loudly for redress. The
overburdened, almost bankrupt, tax pay
ers have the right to speak and demand
redress. We would be gad to sec the
people rise as one man and demand that
the pruning knife be applied wherever II
dollar can be saved. How would il be
if we set tho ball in motoa in Holmes
county by each township sending up del
egates to county covention to declare
our grievances and ask for redress.

Southern IfCp,ts.

The Savannah Morning News SAYS tha,
l3 Federal vessels, soven of which were
steamers of war, were reported off Skid
daway Island
Yesterday 10 vessels were also seen
from Fort Pulaski, bound southwark.
The Confederate steamers Savannah
and 81. Johns have reconnoitcrcd Walps
Cut and found the enemy trying to re.
move the distractions placed in that To-
cality. The Conlederatcs discharged mus.
kcts at the Yankees, who fled, leaving
their provisions, bedding, blankets, &c.
Intelligence from Savannah states that
8 Federal vessels had entered the river
back Of Little Tybc, and passed up the
North end of Wilmington Island, trying
to cut off communication between Fort
Pulaski and Savannah. The enemy she'll
ed Wilmington Island and fired on the
Confederate Scamer Ida, no injury done.
Commodore Ta,nells fleet was at Tlun-
dcrbolt, but arrived safe at Savannah.
Fort Pulaski has provisions enough to
last six months.
The New Orleans Crescent SAYS the
Steamer Calhoun entered q Louisiana port
on Tuesday night, where she accidentally
burst her boiler and became unmanagea-
bic. The Captain fearinga capture burned
the vessel. The cargo was very valuable.
Shortly after the commencement of hos.
tilitics the Calhoun was fixed up at New
Orleans as privatecr. She made several
trips and succeed in bl inging in num-
Der OF rich prizes.
The printing Office of the Sumter Re.
publican, at Americans, Ga, has been
destroyed by fire.
The Mobile Register, states that pri-
vatc dispatch from Pensacola announces
the safe arrival there of a Confederate
Schooner. The schooner Jesse Richmond,
while attempting to run the blockade, got
aground. The Captain and crew aban-
doncd her and burnt the vessel, including
about 100 bales of cotton.
The Governor of louisiana has sent to
the Legislature his veto of the bill to loan
the planters $7,000,000 of the State
Treasury notes This settles the question
as there is not sufficient majority for it
in either House to pass it over the veto.
The Mobile IiJune states that there has
been 9 Federal bodies picked up on the
beach killed by our men in the taking OF
the schooner Wifder, and expresses the
opinion that at least thirty of the enemy
were killed on that occesion. The British
Consul at Mobile has sent a message by
flag OF truce to demand tho Liberation OF
the schooner Wilder, which is claimed as

Lanes Expedition.

Gen. Hunters proclamation to his
troops that he will command tho expe-
dition across the plains in person is hailed
IN Washington by military men as an
omen of success.
Gen. Lanes expedition, about which
80 much has been said, was only the i'm
agination Of Gen. Lane himself, and wa,
never authorized by the President or Gen
Mcclellan. Gen. Lane when commits.
stoned by the President was informed
that he would act as n subordinate office,
to Gen. Hunter, and not independent o
him. Gen. Hunter will probably com
mand the division at Poolsville.

Suspension Of the IIabc;ls Cor
pas.

The Louisville JoMnal presents the
following condensed argument to prove
that tho power to suspend the privilege of
the haJeas corpus is vested in Congress
and not in the President
The language of the constitution in re-
lation to the matter is as follows:
"The privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus shall not be suspended, unless
when in cases of rebellion or invasion he
public safety may require it,"
Now, in the first place, in the British
constitution, from which this provision
Is derived, the power of suspension is
vested in Parliament and not in the Mon
arch Analogy, therefore, leads to tho
conclusion that in our constitution the
power is vested in Congress and not in
the President. And there is nothing in
tho nature either of tho remaining provi.
slons of the constitution or of the system
as a whole that does away with the force
of analogy in this particular. The pro-
vision, IN the second place, occurs in the
article OF the constitution wherein the
powers aud limitations of Congress are
tVa'cu uin'lilCllNcly' IL IcSultS from tnlS
naturally aud justly that the power Of
suspension is vested in Congress and not
in the President. And, in the third
place, the power is not an executive pow
cr but legislative one, The suspension
or repeal OF n law is the same in principle
as the making of law, and must of ne
ceSsity flow from the same authority
The notion that it belongs to the Presi.
dent by virtue of his office to repeal or
suspend what it belongs to Congress by
virtue Of its Office to enact is absurd
The authlity which under tho Constitu-
ton makes laws is the only authority
which under the constitution can unmake
or suspend them,
These considerations appear to us to
settle the point clearly against the right
in question, And herein we but concur
with the great body of the legal proieS.
sion Of the United States, The opposite
conclusion is opposed indeed to the ma
ture and fixed opinion of the enlightened
intellect of tho country.

Daniel Wcbstcr's Flag.

Saturday, the 18th, was the annive,-
sary of Daniel WebSter's birthday. The
proprietor of the New York Astor House
marked the event by hosting tho old
Webster flag with which they were ac.
customcd during his lifetime to mark the
presence Of that statesman in the h tel.
II is q large white banner, with red
stripe above and blue stripe below. In
the broad field appears Wcbster's i'm
mortal motto-"liberty and Union, now

The Burnside's EXDcditiOn.

There seems to have been some terrible
laundering, mismanagement and fraud
in connection with the Burnside expedi-
ton. 1t was a blunder most fragrant and
incemprchensible to send fleet to ope-
rate in notoriously shallow waters with
out ascertaining whether some of the m ost
important vessels in the fleet did not draw
from one to four feet too much to get into
those waters. There was mismanagement
in employing pilots whose loyalty to the
Union was not beyond question, and pla-
cling captains in charge Of important YES
sells who lay drunk on cabin floors during
terrific storms. That there was great fraud
practiccd in the purchase of many of the
vessels constituting the fleet there is evi
dence to show. A correspondent of the
N. Y. World, W no is with the fleet, says
"The vessels were purchased upon sworr
aiiidavits as to their draft, and there is most
excellent authority for saying that, ip one in
stance at least, one OF the steamers was sworn
to draw six feet and a half, light. while she ac.
tually draws, with water ont of her boil
and Goals and stores overheard, eigM fet
Thisi Is fair statement of the case with nearly
every steamer in the fleet"
1t is stated that parties in New York
have sold steamshi ip to the Government
for $l4O,O0O, which could have been
bought three months ago for $45, 900. 1t
is also charged that captains tried to wreck
their vessels in order to make profitable
sales the Government.
A resolution has been introduced into
the Senate directing the Secretary of Wal
to furnish the Senate statement in tab
ular form, containing all the particulars
concerning the purchase and charter OF
vessels comprising the above fleet, where
built, capacity. to what system of inspec-
tion they were submitted to, &c. Great
frauds will doubtless be exposed, and il
is to be hoped that those who have endan,
gered the Union cause to put money in
their pockets will meet with the punish.
mcn' their crimes deserve.-Pian Deoier

Rem, wade.

As the day draws near for the election
of United States Senator we perceive
quite an Improvement i'll the Legislative
proceedings Of Mr.. Benjamin Wade
During the present session of Congress
this abolition Senator has been feeling
his way with remarkable caution; he has
not uttered u syllable to which the most
fastidious STAKEHOLDER could take tho
slightest objection. The milk in this
cocoa nut is accounted for by the fact
that there is supposed majority in the
Ohio legislature who do not think pre-
ciscly as Mr.. Wade does upon the "irrc.
pressible conflict"
1t is very extraordinary that Senator
Wade should, in a crisis like the present,
remain so remarkable quiet as he has
done upon the causes OF and probable
results of the rebellion. Among the agi-
tators who were most fierce and defiant
in their denunciaton of every one who
did not worship at abolition altars was
this same Senator Wade. Indeed he
was the most dreaded Of them all by
Southern Hotspurs, because it was un-
derstood that-unlike Sumner-W ade
was, at all times, ready to give gentle
manly satisfaction to any one demanding
it. There was with him no dodging be-
hind his legislative privileges to avoid n
private communication anything he gave
utterance 10 in heated debate, he was
willing to stand to afterw ards, when
"roason resumed its throne" We are
therefore, amazed to find this abolition
bruiser so singular modest at tho pres
ent time we have now on hand re-
bellon which he did his share to bring
on tho country; the irrepresiblc conflict
between the free and slave states is raging,
and he has not, during the present scs.
sion, foil owed up his teaching by giving
abolition brethren a single speech upor
emancipation. While our abolitionist
in the Senate-whose term of Office de
not expire for several years--arc savag

Holmes County farmer. [volume] (Millersburg, Ohio) 1857-1926, 1862-02-06

There was a class of politicians in this
country not long ago, that ridiculcd the
members of the Democratic party as "Un-
ion savers," and who professed to believe
that the Union was of very small account.
The effort to restore the Union to what it
was in the days of Jackson is costing the
the Government ONLY about four millions
of dollars a day! People never fully appre-
ciate the blessings of good health until
they are prostratel on bel of sickness.

Gen, Stoncman, Chief of Cavalry, has
recommended the reduction of the seventy.
seven nominal regiments Of volunteer
cavalry, to fifty. All Colones and Lieu
tenant Coloncls are to be exam ined by a
board, and two'thirds put in command.
The best men and company officers are to
be kept. Those unfit are to be mustered
in as infantry. Gen. Stoneman believes
that there will not be more than fifty
good regiments in all. His plan is likely
to prevail,

does not. Many "niggers" are seen in
