@ The eminent American banker
IN London, GEoReE PEABODY, has do
mated the magnificent sum Of $3.50. .08o,
to the poor Of the city Of London
This splendid gift, has called forth the
highest praise from all quarters. and
will prove q more lasting monument to
his memory. than any thing the ingenu-
ity of man could devise. The whole
sum is placed under control of Eve d.
rectors Of whom the American consul
for the time being. is always one. The
profits of this immense sum, are to be
annually dispensed to objects of chari-
ty, under the control of the managers.
The world does homage to Mr. PEA
BODY. America may well be proud oi
him. Born at Dmvers in Mass, raised
a poor boy. he has by his own efforts
built up for himself colossal fortune
on which at the age Of so years. he
retires to seek pleasure in doing good.
to the poor and needy. 1t is needless
to say Mr.. PEABODY is actively op.
posed to secession. Men Of his stamp
are as rare 10 that region, as saints in
Hades-and yet Mr., PEABODY would be
sneered at by the robbers of seeessia
as a Yankee. He can afford it. Long
may he live, to see the fruits of his
work.

Ma. EpIToR:--We solicit small space
in your columns, to say few words to
your correspondeut-Miss "Sally."-
We are pleased to know that there is
one lady in Gallipolis, who thinks as a
Lady should think. and one too who
fears not to speak her mind. We
would like TO know who ''Sally" is,
but we know enough of her, to COM
mend her to the young ladies who have
been so love stricken, as to disregard
all time. but the present.
To Miss "SalIy" and the other
young ladies of whom she speaks, we
will say, that so long as they continue
to conduct themselves as they have
during the present campaign, they will
ever be called, and treated as the
Ladies Of Gallipotis by
MANY GENTLEMEN.

re- The Committee on the conduct
of the war have closed the testimony
in regard to the atrocisus conduct Of
the rebels, toward the dead Union SOL
diers Of Bull run.
Gov. Sprague and others testify that
the graves of the dead were opened,
their bones carried of, and manufac-
tured into trinkets and charms for Sc
cession ladies, to wear on their watch
chains. and set into the jewelry so ex-
tensively displayed by Southern ladies'
Drinking cups, for the high-toned, cbiv-
alrous Southern gentlemen to drink
their whiskey from, were made of the
skulls.
Those of our dead whom they inferred
at all, were buried faces downward, and
in many cases across each other. HUI
manity shudders at the bare recital of
such unparalleled barbarities. The most
brutal savage tribes, that for the past
four thousand years have at various
periods desolated the earth, have fallen
far behind these high born aristocrats
Of secession, in their demoniac treat
ment of the dead. The Hottentots,
the African bushmen, the Patagonian
cannibals, can furnish no such evidence
of fendish malice, as the report of
this committee will prove to have been
acted out by the infuriated villains
from the "Sunny South" Hereafter,
all that is Infamous, degrading, cruel
and bestisl must attach to the Southern
name, and generations must pass away
before the ignoring of the secession
practices will be forgotten. They new
er will cease to be remembered. Like
the shirt of Nemessus they will stick
to the very name Of Southern
and an infamy, such as now preserves
the memory of the blood thirsty actors
in the French Revolution from oblivion,
will forever overshsdow the term seces-
sionist, conveying in its meaning, all
that is wicked and abominable among
men, and too diabolical even for the
conceptions Of devils themselves.

Eg Nine companies OF the 60th o.
V. left our square Monday for Parkers-
burg. One company yet remains. and
about rs sick in the hospital. The
boys went off in high spirits, in fact
some were full of "sperits," and some
very "high," which was excusable when
we consider the wretcbed state Of the
weather and roads. Well, they are off
for the ''sacred sile," where If an op-
portunity offers, no doubt they will
make their mark. We presume Gen.
Fremont is preparing to advance. now
that the Goth are on the way, as we
were informed by the Col. that Fre-
mont had promised him that position.
If the manner in which Col. TRIMBLE
advanced on the whiskey shops before
his departure. be any indication. the
"secesh" may as well give in, as some
of our grocery men did. and yield them
selves prisoners OF war, rather than be
slaughtered by the fierce attacks Of the
gallant 60th. Seriously we have great
confidence 10 the regiment, and wish
them well. They behaved like gentle
men whilst with us, and bear with them
the kindest regards of our people.

PARsoN BRowNLow AT PHILADEL-
PHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, April 18.-Parson
Brownlow was received at Indepen-
dence Hall by the city authorities, this
morning--Mr. Tregg. President Of the
Common Council, receiving him with
words of the hearLiest welcome. Par
son Brownlow replied in characteris-
tic address of some length.
He recited the tribulations that East
Tennessee Unionists had Undergone
AT one time he had been within one Of
hanging by the sentence of a drum
head court-martial at Knoxville. The
one vote that saved him was Of cor
rupt drunken Secessionist, and he was
tempted to exclaim. "Great God, on
what a slender thread hang everlasting
things" He did not want office; he
wanted to go back to East Tennessee
with a cooked hat, sword. and coil of
rope. In closing he alluded to his
wife and children, now held as hosta-
ges in rebeldom; and spoke Of the Joy
and exultation with which the Union
army will be greeted in East Tennes-
see.
Parson Brownlow has received an
invitation from the President to visit
the White House.

NARROW EscAPE.-Capt. JAS. P.
DRoUILLARD, Of Gen. McDowell's staff,
came very near losing his life few
days since, in reconnaissance made by
a squadron of cavalry across the Rap
pahannock river, in Virginia. They
had deserter from the rebel army for
a guide, who. traitor ike, misled them.
They were fired on from a fort, and
seeing they we're misled, started in re.
treat, but soon found the rebel cavalry
and infantry in their rear, attempting to
cut them off. They dashed through,
every man on his own hook, endeayor-
ing to escape. Capt. D. rallied about
forty of his men, and started for the
river; there was no ford where they
came to it, but the gallant Captain told
his men to cling to their horses and fol-
low him. They crossed amid a shower
of balls. Five were drowned and two
killed. About fifty yards from the
bank, shell struck and burst right
under the Captains horse, tearing
away his whole breast, and throwing
the rider abouttwenty feet to the front,
spraining bis wrist and cutting his
head badly. The horse was very val
liable one. which the Captain paid $3.50
for, which will be refunded by the
Government, as he was shot by the
enemy

srIn these davs of universal

Hr In these days Of universal
grumbling abe1s prospective high taxes,
glance at the situation Of other ma
tions might not be out Of place. We
do this the more because we see that
the tax bill is about to be made a
weapon of attack upon the Republican
party, and the Administration of Mr..
Lincoln BY all the Breckinridge Democ-
racy over the free States. in order il
possible TO resuscitate the defunct insti-
tuition. and regain power.
In England the Government imposes
an excise duty on spirits of $3.50 per
gallon. The United States asks but
fifteen cents, the difference being still
more glaring il we consider England
at peace, and the Union engaged in q
war such as England never saw. On
tobacco, England charges 7s cts. per
pound on raw material-cigars Sc, l6,
snuff Ia, on stem and scraps 72 cts.
per pound. In the tax bill raw tobac-
co, stem and scraps, are free, cigars
and manufactured 10 cts, smoking FIVE
cts., snuff eight cts. We hope rum
suckers and tobacco chewers will look
at these facts when they grumble about
the Lincoln tax. We might carry out
the parallel still further, but the above
will suffice, as examples TO prove that
in no case, are our people taxed even a
1.-THE of any European nation. Not
only so but every mans property and
business under $500, is free. How
many thousands of our industrious poor.
will therefore be free from the collec-
tors call, not even poll tax. Every
effort has been made to realize the rev.
enue from luxuries, and the incomes
and profits of wealthy men. The
Committee of ways and means. have
performed their duty to the satisfaction
Of all honest loyal men, who wish in
all sincerity TO sustain our Government
in her hour of peril. 1t can hardly be
expected they would succeed in pleas
ing those whose qualification consists
in embarrassing the administration,
and covertly aiding our enemies. by
Withholding SO far as practicable the
means of crushing out the unrighteous
thieves and robbers, who, not content
with plundering and depicting the
Treasury at the outset, have entailed
upon us and our children an enormous
debt, and consequent taxation.
Reader, when you hear a man COM
plain abeut the war tax, inquire into
his circumstances, and in nine cases out
Of ten you will find he pays nothing,
is opposed to the administration, and
would,'if he dare, speak his sentiments,
sustain the confederate States. Mark it.

E The steamer city Of Memphis
brought up a large number OF wounded
soldiers from Pittsburg, both of the
Union and rebel armies. Amongst the
latter was W. H. Polk, nephew Of
President Polk, who was severely
wounded.
DR.. Simons, surgeon OF the U. S.
Army, had him taken into the ladies
cabin, treated with great attention, fed
with delicacies. provided with nurses,
and treated with the utmost tenderness.
During this time our own wounded Of
fcers of equal rank, were suffered to
lie on the decks and fed on pilot bread
and bacon. 1t is enough to say in ex-
PLANTATION of this transaction that DR..
Simons is native Of South Carolina,
and of course tainted with secession
proclivities. Tt is high time his case
was attended to. Such treatment Of a
Union prisoner by a secesh surgeon,
would soon procure him a passage TO
that other portion of secession-down
below. 1t twould that.

ports Col. CoRooRAE still in Richmond.

nies that Goreoran had any maps on his
person, or that there was any founds-
tion for his detention, other than the
usual breach Of good faith on part Of
the rebels. Probably JEFF. Davis de-
tains him as hostage for his own safe
ty. Corcoran says if he can serve his
country better by remaining in Jail, than
out of it, he is content to do SO. Our
prisoners are now confined in an old
bacon house, and treated with great in
humanity. Yet the secesh trash at
Columbus, and elsewhere, are allowed
every privilege they can desire. Is it
not time some mode of retaliation
should be used upon these scoundrels?

going 70 show that all Of the SD o. V.
did not run at the battle OF Pitlsburg.
Mr.. JONATHAN LAsLEY, Of Cheshire
township. Gallis county, cd Lieut.. Co.
g. was wounded BY Minnie ball which
broke the bone of his thigh. He was
left on the field during the fight Of
Sunday. and Of course captured BY the
rebels. who robbed him of his money,
watch, and revolver, and only left him
his boots. at bis earnest solicitation.-
Next day he was re-csptured BY our
forces and is now in the Hospital at
Cincinnati. The rebel surgeon dressed
his wound and with the exception Of
the robberies he was otherwise we'll
treated. He was general fayorite with
his regiment.
A Mr.. RArHBURN, also Of the same
regiment, passed up Sunday to his
home in Meigs county. He Informs
US that the regiment. though entirely
raw and unskilled, faced the foe man
fully at the onset, and if properly off,
eered would have sustained its position.
That the Col. was taken suddenly in,
and panic getting up, they were borne
away without knowing or caring whIth-
.er. Mr.. Rathburn joined an Indiana
regiment that took the place of the
SD in the line, and on Monday was
severely injured in the back by limb
severed from tree by cannon ball.
This much we have learned that not all
of the SD fed as soon as an enemy
appeared. That some did so may be
true, but thus far the record Of the
Gallia boys stands fair.

e Hon. BIZ. CRasE, lac member Q

Hon. Mr.. CRANE, late member of
Congress, and now Auditor Of State for
Western Virginia, addressed the citi-
zens Of Gallipolis at the court house on
last Saturday night. Although the
evening was unpleasant, yet the house
was Jam, and for two hours the spea-
ker held the audience with breathless
attention. His narrative Of the pro-
ceedings in the convention at Richmond.
Of which he was a member, by which
the State was voted out of the Union,
was full Of interest. He showed up the
iniquities Of secession in a way calcula-
ted to stir the blood of every Union
man, nor were the audience slow to
manifest its influence upon them. With
such Union men as Mr.. Crane at the
head of affairs, Western Virginia is
bound to cast of the yoke under which
she has so long suffered. He is terri
bly, in earnest, as any loyal man would
be who has suffered the loss of proper
ty, and indeed everything. as be has.
His speech was productive of great
good in this region, and a few such
made through the loyal States, ought
TO open the eyes of the sympathizers
with secession.
