MORE TRAITORS EXPELLED.-We are happy
to see that the Senate OF Kentucky on Satur.
day purged itself by the expulsion of two
notorious traitors, DR., j. NJ. Johnson, of Pa,
ducab, and ". T. Anthony, of the Warren,
Allen and Edmondson District. The enor-
mi.y of their colusion with the rebels was
so notorious that even Senators Grover and
Chambers voted for their expulsion. Now
that the cautery has been commenced, why
jenkins, and others undergo an investiga.

The Erpnt Sell

Between eight and nine thousand copies of
the DAILY Press were disposed of yesterday
in few hours. The rush for them exceeded
any thing ever before seen in this city. 1t
was 'fat' day for newsbOys, and busy
one for our pressnen. Our press seemed to
work off the good news with greater ease
and facility than usual.

months, to the value of about 5000, 900. The

nEnOcaATs AND TREASON.

Il 10 charged by abolition stump

the democratic ticket are traitors; or,
10 other words, they draw . line-tha,
line Is the emancipation proclamation,
and then tell the people: nov all OF you
who arc on our side Of the line among
the abolitionist., are loyal men. All
truly loyal men stand here, consequent
" oil of you wretches who stand on the
other side are traitors to the govern.
,nent. Upon this point, however, there
appears to be little difference Of opin-
ion among the foes Of the democracy
since the elections in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Before that time Forney, Of the
Philsdelphia Press, was loud 10 his dc
nunciation Of democrats who would not
stand up 10 support of the unconstltu'
tional acts OF the President. Hear the
miserable, cringing renegade non. In
a late issue he takes it all back and tells
the democrats of Pennsylvania that they
are not traitors
"The men who voted against the ad
ministration in this and other States on
Tuesday last, and the men who arc now
waiting clsc~ here TO follow their exam
pie, must not and can not be called dls
loyal"
That is Forney oil over. lie seei
where the shoe pinchcd him. lie knew
as other republican politicians know thai
the action Of the democracy in opposing
the illegal acts Of President Lincoln, is
just and proper, and though it was aw.
fnl to do 80 before tho Pennsylvania
election, it is wrong in his opinion to do
30 TOW. The abolition paper OF this
city charges ali who vote the democrat.
ic ticket with being disloyal. How will
il settle this difference OF opinion be-
tween itself and the High Priest Of the
Press. We shall be satisfied with any
disposition that may be made OF the
case.
The election Of yesterday will proba-
bly, have a tendency to increase the
number Of Forneyi,es, aud cause those
sbolltionists who do not agree with him
to hold up their hands in horror at the
alarming increase of democratic traitors.

Captain Semmes, the Pirate.


Captain Semmes, Of the Confederate
steamer Alabama ("2oO') sports q huge
moustache, the ends OF which are wax
ed in manner to throw that of Victor
Emanuel entirely in the shade, and it is
evident that it occupies much of his at
tention. Ills steward wakes it every
day carefully, and SO prominent is 1t
that the sailors of the Alabama term him
"Old Beeswax." The Cheers of the
Alabama are reported as very dainty
gentlemen. In plundering a ship they
take nothing but articles that sui, them.
If replenishlng their stores, they inva-
riably reject brown sugar, tak,ng moth
ing but the best loaf. With kid gloves
It 10 the same; they refuse colors, and
will have nothing but pnre white. And
SO it is with them all the way through.
They appropriate everything they fud
worth having, and destroy the rest, and
are pirates in every sense OF the word,
except that they do not take life or,
rather, they have not yet done so. The
plan that Semmes has adopted to bring
fish to his net is as follows: Wnen-
ever he captures ship, after taking from
her all that he and his officers want, he
lays by her until dark, and then sets
her on fire. The light of the burning
ship can be seen many miles, and every
other ship within seeiug distance stands
toward the light. thinking to rescue q
number of poor fellows from destruc-
ton.
Semmes keeps in the immediate vi
clnity awaiting the prey that is sure to
come, and the next morning the poor
fellows wLo have, to serve the cause OF
humanity, gone many miles out of their
course, find themselves under the GU,
OF the Alabama, with the certainty that
before another "a hours they will share
tue fate of the ship they come to serve.
This plan will enable him to destroy an
immense amount Of property without
much cruising. lie can lay in one 20.
silion and gather ships around him dur.
ing the night ready for operations on
the coming day for weeks to come. for
it will be long time before his deure.
Citations can be made known, 30 that
our unsuspecting merchantmen will be
on the look out for him.
Again, he will be enabled to cruise for
an indefinite length Of time for be
uses no coal, depending upon his canvas
entirely, which, it seems, is all sufficient
for lis purpose. He carries stores for
eight months. and can always repleuish
from the prizes he may take. He will
