EDITORS JoURNAL:- was pleased at
reading your leader in your paper of the
18th instant, in relation to the conduct of
some of the citizens of your prosperous city.
1t is a we'll known fact among the disloysl
men-and they boast of it in the western
or lower portion of our State-that they
can get as many goods as they wish from
your city, and that large number of your
citizens are disloyal. The Union men in
this section-or some Of them-believe that
Mr.. Robinson has done his best to put stop
to any shipments of goods to disloyal men,
but men from Kentucky protesting to be
loyal have made large purchases in
your city for Smithlaud and Paducah, and
other points below here, during the time o.
the blockade.
But it is strange that any merchant
should sell as much as six kegs of powder
70 one person living where there is as much
disoyalty as at the place to which this
powder was shipped. You also speak of
disloyal men from Kentucky visiting your
city, ventilating their treason. There is
plenty of disloyalty in your own city,
which is shown by their acts, if not by
words A KENTUCKIAN.

~ The House of Representatives did
an excellent piece of work on Friday in
passing the Con6scation bill. An exami-
nation of its provisions will convince most
any one that it is calculated to hurt, and
hurt in the right direction. The House has
proven itself worthy the confidence Of the
people.
The Senate, Saturday, also passed the
bill, and it only awaits the Presidents sig
nature to become law.

In presenting this summary of their ope

result is not as favorable as might have
been expected in more prosperous times,
the cause is to be found, not in any lack of
zeal on their part, but in the increasing
apathy of stockholders, and in the anxiety
which pervades mems minds, consequent on
the disturbed and unhappy condition of the
country, and which withdTaws their atten-
ton, from what many consider to be nnim-
portant matters.

THE WAR NEWs-Our readers will observe from thessummary of the war news given m our issue of this week, that matters ion the Poto- mac, where we look for the most decisive work, ) remain pretty much as they had for a month back Since the great battle of Antietam. how ever, where Mcclellan put decided veto upon general advance of the rebels into the North ern States our army has been gathering strength every day, by new accessioDs, and by needful rest and rscuperation, until premonitions of an advance into the rebel country are growing more and more frequent and reliable. A gene ral engagement between our forces under Nc Clelan, and the main body of the rebels, under -Les,- cannot be delayed much longer ]; and while we have given up predicting, we cannot but hope that week longer will bring with it decided action and decisive victory. ,
 Our armies have met with signal success in the West, since our last, and we may hope for some better news from that quarter before many days are over In the South west a new order ot things IS being brought about, and w. pre- sume the country will be electrified and delight ed sooI with the announcement of an appoint nent in that quarter, which will inspire fresh confidence that something is to be done to drive out the rebels from Missouri and Arkansas. In d.cations are plenty that 6 new efficiency is to U, infused into all of the Depart ments, and hat hte ,uor ariU be p,osecutsd vigorously, du- ring the Fall and Winter mouths.

SPEECH OF GEN. PRESTlsS.-Gen. Prentiss had he compliment of a serenade Friday evening
 Washington. He spoke to a large and en- thusiastic audience. detailing the incidents of his capture and imprisonment. His description of the insults endured and the hardshids sustain ed was graphic and powerful. In the course of his narrative he bad occasion to speak ofths neg groes, who he said, were the best Union men of the South, when voice in the crowd exclaimed, " "we are fighting for the negro Yes. sir re- piled the General, |" fight for the freedom of every man on earth.' Immense applause. 1- He spoke of the cruelty with which Federal officers and soldiers were treated and of the reign of terror existing throughout the South. They were determined to fight it out, and they dd 6ght desperately, because they knew their cause was desperate. No one dared to express any more real slavery there now over whites than there was ove- blacks. There are more men, too in the Southern army than people at the North think for. Now is the time to strike, for their army is somewhat damoralized He saw thousands of men going home on parole and at the battle of Antietam the rebels Were pun ished great deal more severely than was gen. erally supposed here. He saw train after train of their wounded and Union prisoners, if they did not rejoice at the misfortune of their enemies cheered lustily for the success of the Union arms. He also remarked that President Lin coins Proclamation had done more to end the fought or anything else that has been done- He would take the field again the very moment he was ordered to by his commanding General. He would obey orders but let him once get and he would do everything in his power to crush out this heliish rebellion.
 The Generals speech was received with i'm mense applause. and afier lusty cheers and some remarks from Col. Mulligan, the crowd dispersed.
 NEW ORLEANS dates are the 7th.. Gen. But Ter is straightening things out with his usual promptness. An ex. ex.policeman gets six months in Fort Pickens with hard labor and 24 fb ball to his leg for sending an insultnga and seditious report to the Government. All prisoners of war who had been registered for exchange were to be sent to Baton Rouge on the sth Ofi- cers were to be allowed to take their side arms, and clothing in which they stood only. An or der fixed the price of flour at $7.50 per bbi. bread to be three ounces for one cent. Crowds of people of both sexes, of all ages and condi- tions, continue to attend daily for the purpose of taking the oath ofaliegiance.

GsSr The recent elections in Pennsylvania Ohio and Indiana, is they show nothing else. af tord Connecticut one lesson. which she will do well to heed The loss of several congression. al districts, and in two instances if not in all three of the State, can be distinctly traced tc the absence of the loyal citizens of those States now engaged in fighting for the Un ion, two thirds or three fourths of whom we know 10 be Union Republicans. In one district ip, Indiana, Mir. Colfax's, the Republican nett loss is 4, l40, and Mr. O., who was elected two years ago by majority of 5000, is now bare. y re elected. In Pennsylvania, Speaker Grow 8 district, the political loss to the Republicans, by close analysis, is between four and fre thousand, and MT. Grow is defeated.
 In Iowa, the soldiers were allowed to vote :; consequently the Republicans elect every Con gressman- six in all. How her soldiers voted may be seen by the returns from two regi- ments:
 29th Reg ment, Republican. PIP Dem s2
 39th Regiment, Republican, 334 Dem 109
 Had the soldiers from other states been al- lowed to vote, we should have had different and more desirable results
 No doubt this proposition to allow our sol u'ers to vote. will meet with opposition rom our democratic friends who hap. e"' enlisted. We presume that it will; but as no good reason is likely to be advanced why those who go forth to fight the battles of our country should be deprived of their elsc,iye.
 Ianchise at home, we do not believe such op h osition will meet with much success. unla.s a.his provision is made law by the Legislature, We are free to say that the result in this district will be very doubtful for the success of the tn. ion Candidates with it, ws should like to take 2 few hats on the triumphant issae, and election of q true War nap. ,- '.sa

SEVERAL boys were playing, in Philadelphia on last week, John Brown, i .. going through the form of hanging. At first they used dog as their. victim, when some of the boys playfully placed the strap around the neck of Chas. H. Aburger, aged fourteen years, and proceeded hy means of a crank to draw him from the earth Unfortunately the strap tightaned, and he was hung in earnest. He was cut down after two | minutes but the exertons of five physicians failed to restore him, and he expired in great agony the day following. L. Albert Holmes, son of Lemuel Holmes of Pomfret, recently died in California. He was editor of the Stockholm Daily Independent. He was man of great energy and ability, and Was quite distinguished as humorous writer. About sixty recruits for the 10th c.
