A Happy Thought.

They had draft in Gallipolis, as every
body knows But every body did not
know how to escape when drafted
Three of the drafted men, however, were
wiser than their fellows, or, at least,
thought they were. Perhaps they
learned in the ''Castles' But wher :
ever learned, the idea was a brilliant one.
They just stepped over to jenkins and
got parols from him, swearing not to
serve against the South during the war
If that is not strategy" weg give it up
We learn that one of them has since
become ashamed and has procured i
substitute. But will that mend the
matter? IF he is pledged by his honor
and his oath to jenkins not to take up
arms against the South during the war,
is it not as much a breach of his parol to
send a substitute as to go himself.
We think jenkins, if requested, would
open an Office on this side of the river
for the granting of parols, and thus save
our men the trouble of journey to him,
or some of his gang. We think We
could reco ommend the right man for an
agent in this place.

Latest War News.

All quiet on the Potomac-all quiet
in Kentucky-all quiet on the Kanawha
all quiet everywhere. If the rebels
have got supply for their armies we
don't suppose they will disturb us any
more till spring, Now is a good time
for our Generals to build their winter
quarters. With proper industry it can
be done before winter sets in We don t
believe the rebels will disturb them if
they will only keep quiet. They may
take their stores to supply a pressing
want, but these can easily be replaced .
They may continue to capture and kill
our detached parties, but ,ohite men don't
cost anything, and we can easily replace
them. Let our armies then go into
quarters at once. If jackson
finds it necessary to forage in the rear
of our camps, he will politely so around
and not make Il fuss by disturbing the
quiet of our camps. Bragg will do
likewise. Are they not of the renowned
chivalry? And by spring, perhaps, we
will be ready to close the game

A Glorious Victory.

Another glorious victory has just
been achieved. We are assured by a
gentleman just from Charleston, that
the rebels have left that region. and will
not return again as long as the salt they
have secured suppl es the wants OF the
Southern Confed deracy! This grand vic
tory was obta ined without the loss Of a
man on our side! Ourarmy can now win
ter on the Gauley Mountains again with
perfect safety! The rebels will not want
any more salt for six months at least.
By that time Vi ashipgton will probably
be in danger again, and Gen. Cox will
be drawn there to help gain a great vic
tory in that direction The rebels will
then probably come for another supply
Of salt, and when they get it and leave,
we may record another victory! ''Oh!
for thousand tongues to sing the
glory of military ''strategy."

Served him Right.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Con,-
merciul gives an account of the killing
of Maj jor Phelps, of the 9TH Va. ReSi-
ment, by Major Dayton, of the 4th Va.
Regiment The facts are about as fol-
lows: Major Phelps, by forging a Ii
cense, procured some one to marry him
to sister of Major Dayton-not being
able to succeed in his designs upoasthe
lady without marrying her. He being
a married mau, could not legally marry
her, and consequently took this plan to
accomplish his ends. He carried her
away from home, and no one knows
whore she now is. Major Dayton was
informed by letter from his father, and
became almost crazed. He learned Of
Maj or Phelps being in Gallipolis, and
went there, but the Major had started
for Cerodo Major Dayton followed on,
overtaking him near Millersport, and
shot him, four balls taking effect Mai
Phelps lived few hours, and before
dying acknowledged he had been served
right. | neglected to state that the
mock marriage between Major P. and
Miss d. occurred neer New Greek, Va.
Major Dayton has not been arrested by
either the civil or military authorities,
B1~ The Provost Marshal at Point
Pleasant has suppre ssed the circulation
of the Cincinnati Enquirer in that vi
cinity, 1t may be necessary to sup
press such sheets in the border States
and in the army, as it is found necessa
ry to shut up the grog shops in the vi
cinity of camp. Were poisoned whis-
ky allowed to be sold to the soldiers, while
nineteen out of every twenty might not
touch the vile stuff, She twentieth one
would, and might create riots and insuo
ordination that would disgrace the VIII ole
camp, and endanger the neigA borhood
And so with the Enquirer. Whitley atri
otto soldiers-nineteen out Of every
twenty ofthe volunte ers, would not touch
it, yet the twentieth, by imbibing it dis
loyal sentiments-and especially if he
could get the whisky with it, nigh t
cause a mutiny in the service. Hence
it is suppressed in the army.
s@- 1t would seem, from correspon-
dent of the New York Times, an ex
tract of which will be found on the first
page, that the planters of Louisiana do
not submit very kindly to the order of
jeff. Davis, to burn their cotton and
destroy their sugar. When these plant
ers build forts to protect their cotton
from the destroying hands of their
friends, it will not be long before they

Point Pleasant.

On Sunday last we made short visit
to Point Pleasant, where we had the
pleasure of an interview with Maj Gen.
Cox. The very high opinion we formed
of the Hon. J. d. Cox, as a scholar, a
gentleman and statesman, on an init
mate acquaintance and unity Of senti-
ment during two sessions of the Lcgis
lature, prepared US to see him grace, by
his military department, the title of
Major General, just conferred upon him
in acknowledgement of his eminent
abilities, and gallant conduct as com
mander. The service contains no truer
heart or sounder head than his, and no
one whose personal appearance more
unmsta kably stamps him a soldier
He, with Col Lightburn aud their staff
Off "ers, reviewed the troops at the
Point, in the presence of crowds of spec
tators There were four regiments and
battery of artillery on the lower side
Of the Kanawha, which looked ssevery
man hero" The 92d Ohio made a
splendid appearance with their new uni
forms and guns, and seemed as if alone,
they could march through all rebeldom
The 18th Va was cam ed on the upper
side of the kanawha, and were fine
looking set of men, but have not been
organized long enough yet to be very
expert in drill. A short time will
make them effective. We do not feel
at liberty to publish much that we
learned of interest in the way of facts
and conjectures as to the future move
Y ents of the forces concentrating in the
Valley. We may safely say, however,
that, whatever our forces may do, the
rebels Will not be likely to disturb the
border again
We were greatly disappointed at the
appearance of Point Pleasant From
what we had heard of the depredltions
of the soldiers, we expected to see the
town almost ruin. But nothing is
| farther from the truth The fences are
not torn down. The gardens are not
trampled upon. The shrubbery is not
destroyed. And there are no signs of
anything like injury to property in the
place. And we were assured by relia
BILE citizens th,t extraordinary regard
has been paid by the soldiers 10 the
rights of property, as we'll as the per-
sons of the citizens. All with whom
we conversed bore uniform testimony
in this respect. Out of town, we were
told, some fences were used by tie boys
on their first arrival there, in a Ease of
actual necessity, in the total absence of
any preparation being made by which
they could otherwise cook their provis-
ions. But as soon as fuel was placed
within their reach, the taking of rails
wholly ceased.
Another thing we are glad to record
We saw no drunkenness on the ground
either among the officers, soldiels or
spectators. There may have been
drunken men there, but, if so, 1cc failed
to see them. This speaks we'll for the
discipline of the troops, and will tel
not only upon their health and morals
but also upon their efficiency as theil
country's defenders.
Upon the whole, We had a pleasant
visit, and saw the holiday side of var
We suppose a deadly confict, in the
midst of mud and rain, or snow, Grim
soned in the blood Of slaug tered hln
dreds, with the groans of the WOUNDED
and dying for music, would present ia
other aspect. God preseryc~tne bors
