E The Patriot says the Hannibal

ting Of their Western connection from

The Patroit would like to get up cock

BUTcHERY At FoRT ST.. CHARLES, Ar
kANsAs.-It is stated by Col. Sanford that
the bodies Of about forty men were recov-
cred from the water off Fort St. Charles,
all of them shot in the head and breast.
Some of them had FIVE or six balls in
them. They were sailors. and had jump
ed overheard from the steamer Mound
City when her boiler exploded. Col. Fry,
the rebel commander, denied, when be
was taken prisoner, on being accused of it
By Col. Fitch. that he had given any Or
ders to shoot our sailors when struggling
in the water, bot one of bis officers chare-
ed it to him. and one of his men who
was mortally wounded confessed it to .
surgeon. The order was in these words:
"Sboot every id Yankee who sticks his
head above water" i sEG -as

Ter, a week or SO ago. before the speech
was made, defended Ed. Russell in a lit.

RusselPs Robinson speech. and is respou.
sible for it. This is the tenor of the
Patriots slang. 1t can be easily seen
through. 1t is the veriest kind of dema.
goguery. and has ono object. That OBJ
ject is to set up IN excitement upon q
false issue. in order to crowd through q
programme which has been determined
upon. The ex-Surgeon. and ex every.
thing else. is but performing the work
for which he was imported into the Coun-

any other style of warfare will not pay
therefore, we shall herafter observe our
original intention to '.let him flicker" {"
A remark Of Judge Kingmsn's hits the

that ! It's just what be is after. He
wants to be kicked into notoriety and If
you don't do it, he will not last long"
The gentleman desisted, and true enough,
the ex soon "played out," and took bis
departure. The system has lost none of
its virtue. We shall henceforth, as fer
as practicable. adhere to it.

~ The report comes, that when the
rebel army entered Maryland. farmers and
citizens who had pretended to be loyal,
made haste to take supplies to the traitors,
and shot at the retiring Federal troops
from their houses. Also. that there il
scarcely loyal man to be found there
now. That is one good result of the in
vasion Of Maryland. It shows who are
white men. When the rebels are driven
back. two or three regiments of Jennisons
ought to be sent in the wake of the ar.

TEE NEws.-The oulv new, of much

TIE NEws.-The only new. of much
importance, this week, is the intelligence
that the whole rebel army has succeeded
in crossing into Maryland, with little or
no opposition. They occupy Frederick
and Hagerstown. and now no one knows
whether they intend to make cash upon
Washington. Baltimore. or Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia. The authorities at
Washington do not appear to be much
concerned about it. Perhaps thsy know
what they are about. We hope they do.
But If they have not got things in bet
ter shape than heretofore. they will be out
generated. and the result will be most
disastrous. Even if the rebel army is
routed. they will leave destruction in
their wake; and there is no calculating
what effect the present position of Affairs
will have upon European Governments.
The present ia indeed dark time.
While traitors are united and rampant.
our armies appear to be inactive: commu-
mites overrun and frightened out Of their
wits by rebel bands which might easily
be crashed; jealousy and chickering's among
our Generals: charges Of treason against
high officers; and our brave soldiers abus.
ed and wronged by traitor-sympathizing
officers. because they desire to make war
upon rebels. If the darkest moment is
just before day. daylight must be nigh at
hand. ....--.
