The Stars and Stripes now Wave over
- Columbus.


The Stars and Stripes now Wave ovel
/ Columbus.
| Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
CoLuMBUs. KY, via CAIRO, March 4. 1882
AT 10 O'clock this morning the 9th
SD and 55th Illinois regiments hoisteG
the stars and stripes over the rebel for
tifications at Columbus.
The gunboats Cincinnati, flag ship
Louisville, Carondolet, st. Louis and
Lexington /; four mortar boats in tow
of the steamer Lake Erie, and the 9th
Illinois, Col. Butort; SD Illinois, Col,
Roberts, and 55th Illinois, Major San.
ger, acting Colonel, upon the trans
ports Aleck Scott, Illinois, Magill, and
Ike Hammit, left Cairo this morning
at four O'Clock, for Columbus. The
fleet arrived at Lucas Bend, about two
miles above Columbus, at six o'clock,
and was drawn up in line of battle.
The drums beat for quarters and the
guns were manned ready for action.
Two Tugs were sent in advance recon
noitering, but failed 10 provoke shot
from the enemy. Everything about
the works was qniet. Glasses revealed
stragglers on the bluff and about the
water batteries, and in a few moments
a flag was raised, but its character
could not be made out. The feet
gradually neared the town and laid in
the stream off the Belmont battlefield,
while scouts were sent out upon tugs
towards the rebel works.
The tugs approached cautiously UNI
til within quarter of mile of the
batteries, found the works deserted,
and both set off at the top of their speed
for the honor of landing first.
The scouts rushed OH the double
qnick to the top of the bluff, and un-
furled the Stars aud Stripes, salutcd by
the crews of the gun boats, as they
steamed up TO the town.
The transports landed their troops,
and Columbus was in our possession.
The works were entirely deserted.
and the barracks, or rather rough board
and log cabins, were burned.
An immense amount of stores, coal
and ordnance fell into our hands.
Many of their cannon were thrown into
the river = six thirty two Founders,
some howitzers, and an almost innu-
merable quantity Of grape, canister,
shell and round shots, were found in the
batteries.
The Notifications are very extensive
and its natural position almost i'm
pregnable.
Columbus is completely deserted.
Every building was thoroughly ran
sacked and contents destroyed by the
rebels. The rebels commenced leav-
ing on Thursday last and finished yes
terday. The largest number ever there
was tlrirty-seven thousand. Beaure-
gard was not there.
1t is believed when the river falls all
their guns will be found. The land
forces, mortar boats and gunboat St.
Lonis remain in possession of the town.
The balance of the boats returned to
Cairo in the afternoon.

MiSslouS. 1hat IL nao been the de-
termined resolution and intention OF
the abolitionists, and their allies 1.-THE
republicans) to destroy this Union,
Nenry Shurter and two orthree others,
who have heretofore said that the
South ought to and would whip us,
cried good, good.) That he thought a
great deal more of Jefferson Davis
than he did of Charles Sumner, that
he was much more of gentleman.
That Bright ought not to have been
expelled from the Senate, and that the
only reason why he was expelled be-
cause he was democrat, and that such
men as Sumner and Lovejoy should be
expelled instead of Bright. He then
took his seat without any attempt at
applause, for it was evident that the
Convention was not harmonious.
George Redfield was then called out.
He said he had expected this state of
things, he had foretold it, that he had
warned the people against it; that the
last six or seven months had been a
time of impenetrable darkness to him I;
bnt that he now began to see some
little signs of light. He thought the
government was coming on the demo
cratic ground, and he thought some
thing would be done he thought the
extreme men of New England, who
had caused all this trouble, would be
put down that he was for the cOnstitu-
ton.
AS it is / could not help think
ing what a great charge had come on
the hands of the democrats since last
winter, when they so strongly recon-
mended the alteration of the constitu-
ton so as to forever establish and per-
petuate slavery in all the Southern
States and to hold them in the North
ern States. And it is very remarka-
ble fact that while two of their speak
ers attributed all the troubles and cause
of this war to the aboltionists and the
republicans, the other attached no more
blame to the rebels than to those who
are fighting for the Union; the one
attributing it to party strife, the others
to the abolitionists. Showing conclu-
sively that amongst the leaders of that
party there are two great factions, the
one in favor of slavery, and the other
to freedom.
After the close of Redfield's remarks
the Convention (what few remained)
adjourned, fully convinced, as 1 think,
that they had made very poor be-
ginning in their political campaign.
Yours, MICHIGAN.

sS The Northern apolorists and

s The Northern apologists and
sympathizers, with the southern seces-
sionists have declared over and over
again, that the guilt of the war was
chargable on the "Abolitionists." But
it would appear from the following
extract from the communication ad.
dressed by Mesrs. Yancey & Co. the
Southern commissioners to Earl Rus
sell, that they held fer different views
from their Northern sympathizers.
They frankly confess that they had no
fears of the liberation of their slaves.
They set up their bogus government
in the face of a proffered guarantee to
secure their institutions against federal
interference, even by amendments to
the Constitution. They knew that
their pet institution was safe enough
but they saw that they could no longer
control the federal government, and so
they resolved to destroy it. The ad-
dress says: 49,.
1T aoas from no fear that the slaces
aoould he liberated that secession took
place. The gerry party an poacer has
proposed to guarantee slavery forever
in tie states, if the South aoould but re-
main an the Union. Mr.. Lincohs's
Message proposes no freedom to the
slave, but announces sutjection Of his
oaoner to tile aoiHof the Union-in 9TH
er words, to the will of the North.
Even after the battle of Bull Run both
branches of the Congress at Washing
ton passed resolutions that the war was
only waged in order to uphold that
(pro slavery Constitution, and TO en-.
force the laws (many of them pro slave
ry), and out of l72 votes in the lower
House they received all but two, and
in the Senate all but one vote. As the
army commenced its march, the com.
manding general issued an order that
no slaves should be received into, or
allowed to follow, the camp. The
great object Of the aoar, therefore, as
s,oso officially announced, IS not to free
the slaves, but to Keep him en- Subsection
to his otcner, and TO control his labor
through the Legislative channels which
the Lincoln government designs to
force upon the master. The under
signed, therefore, submit with conf
dence that, MS far as the anti slavery
sentiment of England is concerned, it
can have no sympathy with the North;
nay, it will probably become disguised
with canting hypocrisy which would
enlist those sympathies on false pre-
tence. laa @ta Hes ~ r.4aaf @

The Treasury Note Bill.

The Treasury Note Bill which passed
both Houses of Congress on Monday
last, received the Presidents signature
on Wednesday, and has become law.
The bill authorizes the Issue of hun
dred and fifty millions of notes in adj
dition to those now in circulation; but
it contemplates the withdrawal of these
last from circulation, while the new
ones may be repeatedly paid out after
being received for government dues.
The old notes and specie will alone be
received in payment of duties on i'm
ported goods; the new ones are receiv-
able for every other kind of govern
ment dues, and are a legal tender for
the payment of all public and private
debts except interest on government
notes and bonds, and dues at the Gus
tom-house. The Senate's amendment
making the interest on all the obliga-
tons of the United States payable in
coin, is part of the bill as it finally
passed. The duties on imports are set
apart as fund for the payment of this
interest, and the creation of q sinking
fund for the liquidation of the princi-
pal.

THE CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE

THE CHEMISTRY OF MEDICINE
Among the special delights which have
so richly repaid our visit to New Eng,
land was the inspection, it was our
privilege to make of DIR. j. &. Aver Il
Co.'S Laboratory, at Lowell. Although
we knew by hear-say, that it was large,
yet we were surprised when we came
into view of it's magnitude, and still
more by the extent and completion OF
its truly immense business The whole
massive structure is in fact one vast
chemical laboratory, in which the pro-
cseses of this wonderful art are con
stantly going on. Medico- chemical
science has found that the curative
properties of any substance exist in
some one or more Of its component
parts. Thus the remedial effects of
opium are due solely to the morphia it
contains, although this is but one
eighteenth part of its weight +; the 9TH
err seventeen parts are gum, extractive
and inert or offensive matter. DIR.
Ayers system separates the medical
properties of each substance employed
and we are here shown the processes
by which the virtues of each remedial
agent are chased through the alembics
until they come out completely pure at
last. These concentrated, purified
medical properties, or virtues, are final
ly combined together to produce the
the remedies which have made them
selves reputation for unrivalled ex-
cellence, all over the world. Not only
does the Doctor disclain all secrecy in
his art and explain every process and
every particular, but he maintains that
this is the only process by which the
people can be supplied with the best
possible remedies for the treatment OF
disease. The formula by which his
remedies are made are published in the
medical Journals and have been pre-
scented to large part of the medical
Faculty of the United States, and are
constantly sent by mail to such physi-
clans as apply for them Daily Chroa-
icls, S1ti Francisco:

eW The following from the Albany
Journal expresses as near as we could
do it in our own language, our views
upon the now considerably discussed
question of apportioning the honors of
the recent victories: =, ..nu
st matters little to the country to
whom the credit of the late glorious
achievements in the East and in the
Southwest belong, SO that the result is
gained; but it does matter something
to the actors themselves. The ground
work was undoubtedly laid by Gen.
Scott. The sketch he left unfinished
was elaborated by Gen. Mcclellan.
The details-andi in war detail is every
thing-were executed by the Generals
and Commodores more Immediately in
command. The consummate strategy
by which the rebels were put on a
wrong scent, and the success of the
movements on the Tennessee and Cum
berland reduced to mathematical
certainty before gun had been fired
was due to Gems. HalIeck and Buell.
and the Brigadicrs who executed their
orders. FEfg'Es eaHsE
"Nor must the agency of the new
Secretary of War be omitted from the
summary. He breathed something of
a new life into orr immense army. He
reminded our commanding Generals
that war was something more than a
game of chess. He impressed upon
them the truth that the science of
strategy might be carried too far; and
that it was necessary to act as well As
plan. He undoubtedly fastened the
consummation of schemes that had
long been matured."

The Publication of Military News Re-
stricted.
The Secretaryof Waron Wednesday
issued the following important official
war bulletin: s.
War DEpARrnExr, WASHINGTON,
February 25 1862.
ORDERED That from and after
February 20, the President, by virtue
of an Act of Congress, takes military
possession of the telegraph lines in the
United States.
Second-All telegraph comn,un;ca-
tons in regard to military operations
not expressly authorized by the War
Department, the Generals command
ing, or the Generals commanding ar
mics in the field, in the several De-
partments, are absolutely forbidden.

tary news however. obtained, and not
authorized by official authority, will be
excluded thereafter from receiving in
formation by telegraph, or from trans
hitting their papers by railroad.
FourM-E. S. Sanford is made Mil
itary Supervisor of telegraphic mes
sages throughout the United Stafesy
and Arson Stager Military Superinten-
dent of all telegraph lines and Offices
in the United States.
F;tth-This is not intended to inter-
fere in any way with the ordinary bus
ines of companies or private business.
BY order of the President. ele
(Signed) EDWIN NJ. STANTON. ~
Secretary of War.
The order will materially restrict
newspapers in the publication of mill
tary intelligence. The object of this
new regulation is doubtless to prevent
the publication of such army move
ments and such facts relating to the
plans or operations of the war, as would
furnish the rebels with valuable infor-
nation, and have the effect of disar-
or embarrassing cur war move
ments. The Government, we feel CON-
fident, has no intention of prohibiting
the publication of any news that will
not have tendency to interfere with
the success of the army movements.
The only danger to be apprehended
from The Secretary of the Wars new
regulation, is the appointment of men
as censors who will act the tyrant and
pervert the " brief authority" placed
into their hands into an unwarrantable
extreme. This must not be allowed,
and would not be tolerated by free
people. What has been wisely intend
ed for the public benefit must not be
perverted iuto public nuisance or an
fundamentally of personal caprice or
tyranny. eeIf
