E The Southern rebels and their
European friends, are terribly shocked
at the wickedness of cur Government
in shutting up Charleston barbors.-
But when this same South removed the
lighthouses, stole the buoys, and de-
stroyed every safeguard and guide to
commerce and navigation on the coast,
not a word Of rebuke was heard 10
either quarter. 1t was perfectly in
keeping with civilized warfare for the
traitors 10 obstruct the harbors at Nor
folk, Charleston, New Orleans and Mo-
bile, at the commencement of this war.
Not word from the London Times on
the subject. But so soon as our Gov
eminent chooses to render the block
ade effective. which English vessels
would not otherwise respect, then Ian
guage was inadequate to express their
horror of the outrage against the civil
lied world.
England forgot her adoption Of the
same mode in shutting up the harbor Of
Bolougne, and even Savannah, in 1873,
and that she first taught us the lesson.

existence" &C., all of which we have
no right to do. The South has "the
poisoned rhalios commended TO hor n~n

to taste OF the same cup. Rail On. but

R Our worthy fellow citizens,
Captains DoNNALLY and Hurs INPILLAR,
are now running a pair Of "Grey
Eagles" on the Ohio river. between
Louisville and Henderson. The U.
S. Mail is carried upon their boats. and
from reliable sources we learn that they
are doing splendid business. We are
proud OF them as our townsmen, and
wish them increased success. Aside
from their qualities as men of integrity,
energy and skill in their business, their
sterling worth as loyal Union men, is of
the highest Importance. If whole
souled devotion to the Union, and un-
remitting attention to the best interest
of our country's cause, in this her
hour Of peril, be worthy of praise and
the patronage of the public, we know
of none more entirely deserving Of it,
than the captains of the "Grey Eagles" "
The authorities need give themselves
but little trouble in searching either
boat for "contraband" goods. We
think either of the captains as likely to
admit bombshen into the hold of
their vessel with a lighted fuse attached,
as any article they knew or even sus-
pected to be contraband Of war. Nor
do we hesitate to accord to all the Off
GERS on board the same sterling quail
ties. So far as we know them person.
ally they are right, and where unknown,
we are willing to endorse them. be-
cause we do know that none other than
loyal men would be suffered to walk
the decks Of the proud "Grey Eagles. :"
Success to them. Their enterprise de-
serves it all.

eE As an evidence Of the pro6ts |

H As an evidence Of the profits
derived from this war BY some of our
citizens. we publish the following from
the report OF the Commissary General
for 1861. That very large sums Of mo-
ney have been paid out by the govern
ment to our citizens, is an undeniable
fact; and from time to time. as oppor-
tunity offers, We intend furnishing the
proof, if for no other purpose than seal
ing the lips Of some who are prone to
murmur at the hard times and scarcity
Of money. At no period of time has
money been more abundant in the hands
of our working men than now. Those
who are willing TO earn it honestly, can
do so snd get it. Others do get it,
whether honestly or not, they get it.
Of course we are not alluding to any Of
the parties named below, as they are
amongst our most worthy and respect
able citizens. and no doubt fully earned
their money. One thing we do know
it was long enough in coming. and too
much Of it is yet due to others. but it is
to be hoped our State will pay all just
demands.

N We learn tha, a movement is o

re- We learn that movement is on
foot to establish general horse hospi-
tai somewhere on the Ohio river, for
General Rosecrans' Division. The off
GERS were in our town on Saturday,
looking up locations. In consequence
Of the late heavy rains, our streets and
the land around town were in very
soft and unfavorable condition. This
however ought not to prejudice the in
spectors against our locality. for so far
as heard from. every other place is in
the same deIectable state. Without
saying anything against Parkersburg
or other points under consideration, a
slight view Of the advantages our town
has over any of them may not be out
of place, inasmuch as the officers
seemed not to care about consulting
any Of our citizens who might feel in
terested.
So far as danger from high water is
concerned, Gallipolis bears of the palm.
Her central situation, near the mouth
Of the Kanawha, whence the cripples
come. and whittier fresh horses gener-
ally go-nearer the Western forage
market. which is always lower than the
East-convenient landing. and efficient
officers already in charge Of the post.
ought to weigh something in the minds
Of the inspectors. Besides we can
furnish the men to do the labor. Many
Of our citizens by this war are thrown
idle. except what employment they get
from the Government, and having fam
lilies to support. this labor becomes to
them matter Of great moment. Our
citizens deserve the patronage OF the
Government for the liberal and patriot
ic support they have given it, and ty-
pecting to bear their proportion Of the
taxes imposed for carrying on the war,
it is nothing more than right that they
should have the preference over towns
situate in Virgins, which at best have
given very doubtful evidence of patriot
ism and loyalty.
In view of these facts. We sincerely
hope that Gen. Rosecrans will not suffer
anything to deter him from locating
this hospital at Gallipolis. especially the
question Of soil. or rather mud. Sew
eral Of our citizens we are assured will
give ground gratuitously for stabling,
which for the next 10 months will be
as dry as necessary. The large guam
tity Of Government stabling now erect
ed here. will be saving. and materi-
ais as well as conpetent work@en can
be had for any more required. 5000

Of quarterIng in the best houses OF our

possible annoyance. as did the 41st,
these brave fellows, without murmur,

hideous with the bellowings Of drunk

conduct is commendable in the highest
degree. and indicative OF the ability of
Col. Trimble to. govern. as well as the
willingness on part Of the men to obey.

circulation that the regiment have small

truth in it, but a wholesale SANDER and

by that truth-loving sheet, the Cincin-

Our citizens, and farmers in the
country, may rely upon it, that there

kind amongst them. Such reports are
calculated to do injury, and most likely
that was the object Of the Enquirer.

~From the tone of the Southern
papers we infer that the mission OF
Messrs. Fish and Ames will not prove
Of much account. The Norfolk Day
Book considers them as "oficial in
spectors of our defenses and general
condition." From the fact that the
clothing sent TO our men was appropri
ated by the Confederate thieves to their
own use. we may judge that men of
ability and tact, like our Commissioners.
will hardly be allowed to have perfect
freedom in the city of Richmond.
As to the exchange of prisoners. the
time has come when economy demands
it, il nothing else. We are feeding a
host of worthless scavengers from "Se-
cesh," who are living better than they
ever did before, and at the same time
are in duty bound to pay, clothe and
feed our boys who are pining away in
the prisons of Davisdom; both parties
entirely inactive, and of no earthly ben
eft. We thus discriminate against our
own men by SO much as we treat our
prisoners better than the rebels do
theirs. and against our interest in feed
ing and supporting a large force Of
non producing men. Our Government
offers poor inducement to the mothers
of our land, who have given their sons
to its service. by allowing them TO Ian
guish and die in loathsome cells. Let
the poor prisoners come home. g

~ We publish letter from =" oc-
casionsl," Of Forney's Press, which con-
tsins some wholesome truths, and we
commend it to the earnest attention OF
every friend Of the Union. 1t is un-
mistakable, that efforts are making in
the loyal States by the Breckinridge
Democracy to regain the control of the
Government, and it behooyes every
Republican and Douglas Democrat to
be on the alert and "scotch the rep
tile" before it again obtains a foothold.
These men are found everywhere,
and quietly instilling their poisonous
principles into the minds of honest but
ignorant men, whom they attempt to
mislead under the garb Of Democracy
and abuse Of the Black Republicans.
Union men OF Gallis, avoid such trail
tors as you would the arch-fend. They
are doubly more dangerous than open
secessionists. Without moral courage
to openly avow their detested doctrines,
they nevertheless give "aid and COM
fort" to the enemy, by their refusal to
act in concert with us against them.

NThe Government has raised the
pirates Of the Petrol and JEFF Davis to
the dignity Of prisoners of war. 1t
may be a military necessity, to save
the lives Of our soldiers who are priso-
ners in hands of the rebels, but the best
way to avoid such humiliation hereafter,
is to let the pirates go down with their
vessels. Had this course been adopted
with the JEFF Davis, her crew would
not have given US this trouble. We
hope the Tuscarora will inaugurate the
system in her expected brush with the
Nashville. Such men are the enemies
Of the human race, and lenity to them
is only affording premium for its con-
tinuance.
