Prsteetian to Traitors.

Judge George w. Lane, of Huntsville,
Alabama, one of the Union refugees,
writes to the Secretary of War from Dan
vile, Kentucky, demonstrating against
the treatment which the Union men III
the South have received from our militia
~ commanders, and their mistaken leni
ency towards the rebels. He says:
-fFhe guilty are ever the first to appeal
to the law for mercy. Rebels were the
first to sue General Mitchell fol protee-
tion. Those who were Union at heart
did not ask for that which was their due,
and thus all the protecting power was
granted to the disloyal."
The policy recommended by Judge
Lane is as follows:
Il trust, sir, that the administration, Of
which you are so powerful and important
an officer, has another policy for the fu,
ture, for justice demands that another
course should be pursued. Justice de
mands that the officer now leading our
troops to the re-occupation of Northern
Alabama should announce beforehand
that the disloyal are guilty citizens, and
are t be punished as such. The army OF
General Rosecrans goes with power, to
push into the interior of Alabama and
Georgia, and should be precededby a proc
lamation from General Rosecrans or the
President. announcing that those guilty
of aiding the rebellion by word or deed
must keep beyond the lines of the army
or be punished. The oft-broken oath Of
allegiance should no longer be a protec'
ton to them.

The New Haven Journal has the follow
ing, which is a ifepicture of thousands OF
the craft:
1.-THE typo who ''sets up" this article
has a history which is a fair sample of ma
nv of the trade. Born in York State,
brought to New Haven in infancy, he
went to Ohio when about ten years old,
in a year OF two went into a printing office

while, then left home and went to Detroit,
stayed five years, finished learning his
trade, then went to Nashville. Tenn.

and went on the railroad as a fireman,

THREE BROTHERS BURIED ALIVE.-On
Friday night last, three sons OF Mr.. Jona-
than Smeigh, in Windsor township. York
county, Penn, came to their death I'M
der the following painful circumstances f:
1t appears that sometime during the fore
noon on that day. they came to the house
for a mattock to dig out a rabbit that had
taken shelter from the dog pursuing it un-
der the roots of large tree that had been
felled by a late storm. The trunk of the
tree was cut off the usual distance from
the roots, leaving an ordinary length OF
stump, but very heavy, as the tree had
been a very large one Three lads, the
oldest about fifteen or sixteen years OF
age, commenced to dig under the roots,
to which was attached a large quantity OF
soil, and, from some cause or other, the
whole mass turned oVer to its former
place, burying the unfortunate children
alive. The bodies were discovered and
extricated sometime afterwards, but the
poor children had long since ceased to
breathe, and all efforts TO restore ANNA
ton proved in vain.-Pihsburg Chronicle.

iDRUNKENNEss IN THE SERyIcK.-We
have no doubt that the evil of drunken
ness outweighs all others that exist in
the army. The drunken scenes enacted
even in Gen. McClellan's staff, on his re-
tirement from the army were disgraceful.
We see in the trial of Gen. Mcdowell, by
Court Martial the following
Col. X. S. Goodwin, of New York, tes-
tilted that he has repeatedly seen General
Mcdowell drunk on the streets of Wash
ington.
He swore specifically that he saw Gen.
Mcdowell drunk, first on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets, about a week or two be-
fore General McClellan's going with the
army to Fairfax Court House. The next
time was at Fairfax Court House, about
the time that Gen. Mcclellan ordered a
countermarch to Alexandria.

National Currency.


The Government, unable to supply the
nation with a retail currency from the
mint, has undertaken to do it from the
paper-mill. As a measure of public ben
efcepce, this adoption of the postal cur
rency was one of the happiest thoughts OF
the Treasury chiefs. As a stroke of 6nan-
eiering. it probably has no parallel, even
in this age of paper tokens. Its size and
character are such that it can be manu-
factured at a low cost, yet the vast loan
thus obtained from the people will pay
no interest. When it comes to be re-
deemed or funded. the innumerable cas-
palties TO which such a currency is nee
essarily exposed viii have e~xtinguished
probably treble the cost of manufacture.
Even coin is made ~perceptibly lighter by
use, but with paper the same amount of
use implies destruction. Ii hundreds of
tuns Of paper thus to be worked up into
currency, every one can see that it must
be a work Of time. The Government is
in as great a hurry to produce it as the
people can be Il obtain it. Patience
must therefore be the word, knowing
that the good time is really coming

A TRIcK OF THE ENENY.-The New
York Evening Post says:
"No doubt the rebels will hasten on
the completion of their iron-clad feet in
England all they can. But we are conf
dent that we need not fear their assaults
in our northern ports this winter; not one
of them will appear in American waters
for five or six months to come. Mean
time our Monitor feet will he at work j IN
southern waters, before thirty days are
past. There is reason to suspect that the
recent stir made in England and here
about rebel iron-clads was made in the
interest of the rebels, who are, as we hear,
much alarmed at the prospect before
them, for a general and effective attack
OF their ports. They are trying to spread
alams in the North, in the hope to induce
the public to demand that some of the
Monitors be kept at home, to guard our
principal ports. Thus they hope to es-
cape a danger which threatens them. as
they know, with a loss of all their ports,
and with a naval campaign into the cot
ton districts, which will be most disas-
trous to them.

care, skill and attention, which first created itsim-
mense and unprecedented sales of over one million
bottles annually 1t is still sold at 3 large
bottles. Two million bottles can easily be sold in
a year when it is again known that the Kathairon
is not only the most delightful hair dressing in the
world. but that it eleanses the scalp Of sOurf and
dandruff. gives the hair 3 lively. rich luxuriant
growth. and prevents it from turning gray. These
are considerations worth knowing. The Kathairon

The Rebels Expected Aid from VAL

a writer in the Atlanta, Ga. Intelligen'
GER lone of the most ultra traitorous pa
pers of the South, sharply reviews Bragg
Kentucky campaign, blames him severely
for failing t. take and burn Cincinnati
and openly admits that forcible aid wa:
expected from Vallandigham and men o
his ilk. He says:
Had General Bragg done his duty as
well and promptly as General Smith did
Louisville would have been ours, Cincln'
natl would have furnished US supplies,
while Columbus, Ohio, might have been
our headquarters. Then would the Val
landighams of Ohio, and the Brights Of
Indiana, have rallied to the issuing Of
Gen. Bragg's noted proclamation; then
would many thousand friends in Ohio
Indiana and Illinois have joined the
Southern army; then, too, could General
Bragg, having cut off the Western from
tho Eastern States, have whispered terms
of paace into the Northwestern ear; and
then might we have reasonably hoped fol
peace. But now all hope of peace is in
definitely postponed, and our prospects
are gloomier than when we began TO cross

near the Ohio has caused many a man tC

The New CASTLE AND BEAVER VALLEY
RAILIoAD.-The editor of the New Castle
C0udat details a recent ride over the line
of the New Castle and Beaver Valley
Railroad, and describes the present con
dition of the road. So far as the track OF
the P. n. c. & C.. road was used, the road
bed required but little grading. but the
masonry was poor, and has been mainly
rebuilt. The old piers at the crossing OF
the Mahoning river have been torn down
and rebuilt, and two or three new ones
added. The superstructure comprising
six spans of one hundred feet each, is be
ing built. Section seven passes through
a very rough country opposite Connoque'
Messing creek, and section nine crosse:
Bakers run on a ninety foot bridge
From this point the road is an air line tc
Homewcod, and crosses Stockman's run
on a heavy trestling. Section ten termin
ates the road at its intersection with the
P, F. w. K C. r. R., and is nearly com.
plete.
