Pomeroy weekly telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio) 1860-1866, 1862-01-10
1t is reported that our forces at

true. But it may do to hang a very
slender hope upon.
IA British ship, loaded with salt
for the rebels, attempted to run the
blockade at Georgetown, South Caro-
lina-was chased by one of our gunboats
run ashore and destroyed. Wonder
if England will not demand satisfa ction.
1t is said that Tom Corwin, our
Minister to Mexico, is about to return.
1t is said, further, that he comes with
out leave, the Department having re-
fused to grant him leave of absence.
---- Fugitives report that the rebels
are fortifying Centreville and vicinity,
with great vigor.
---- The Cavalry Regiment raised in
Northern Ohio by Wade and Huchins,
has been ordered from Camp Dennison
into Kansas. They will form part of
Gen. Lane s forces.
1.-The Legislature of Michigan
met on the 1st inst. The Governor re-
commends thn..Legislature to assume
the collection and payment of that
States proportion of the National tax,
and, alluding to national affairs, be at
tributes our complications abroad and
trouble at home to inactivity of the
army, and says the people will not
tamel y submit to see our armies used
to protect slave property of rebels,
when the most active means should be
taken to suppress the rebellion, sparing
nothing and apologizing to nobody for
our actions.
Secretary Chase has refused to
pay milage to members of Congress for
the extra session. He holds that in vo-
ting themselves a yearly salary Of
$4,000 and milage, their whole time be-
longs to the country, and that, having
drawn milage for the regular session,
they cannot have vacations and draw
pay for the same, and milage again on
their return. We 'sguess" Gov. Chase
is right. But there will be some tall
swearing among some of the members.
1.-The rebels in Ky. have torn up
and destroyed about a mile of the Louis
vile 4 Nashville r. R., so as to prevent
its use by our army.
IA fire in Nashville has destroyed
nearly million dollars worth of prop
erty.
----Gen. Benham, who was placed
under arrest by Gen. Rosecrans, and
has been under charges for permitting,
through disobedience of orders, the es-
cape of Floyd, has been discharged
without trial. He is charged directly
with being coward and a drunkard,
and is suspected of somthing worse
But he didn't hurt the rebels!
----A forward movement is promised
from Port Royal and other points. We
hope this promise will not be ''sus-
pended" like those of the Eastern Banks.
The Government is collecting
cotton seeds at Port Royal, to be distri-
buted to such portions of the West as
promise success in its culture.
The English are still pouring
troops into Canada by the thousand
Whatever may be the effect of the sur
render of Mason and Slidell, it seems
that we are to be menaced on all sides,
with view to weakening our effective
forces against the rebels.
I'VE are now assured that there
will be no battle at Green River, in KY,
for several weeks to come, unless the
rebels make the attack. Our forces, we
are assured, will not.
---- The secession papers of the South
are in such a frantic rage at the smren-
der of Mason and Slidell, that their
into com parative moderation. The Civ
ing them up hurts their cause worse
than defeat Of their grand army would
have done.
---- The var advocates in Canada are
not easily pleased. The Montreal Ga
@ette, which was perfectly ferocious over
the capture of Mason and Slidell, de-
manding their release, or war, now that
they are given up, is nader than ever,
and thinks the authorities at Washing
ton ought to be kicked cut of their
places for doing it.
The people of Nashville are hav-
ing grand Jubilee, and would have IL
Illuminated the city, but for the want of
candles. The cause of their joy is, that
the Bank of Tennessee, at that place,
has issued a large amount of five and
ten cent notes! There being no longer
any specie in the land of secessia, there
was no way of making change. Of
course these notes are not redeemable,
but neither is any other notes. The
papers of that city represent the rush
for the little shin -plasters as perfectly
startling.
--- The Missouri Democrat of Mon
day announces that the North Missouri
Railroad-which was SO badly torn up
by the rebels the other day-would be
in order Tuesday morning LAST
