@The press generally and many
leading men are eager for an advance
movement on the part Of our military
Generals. This interference we believe
to be wrong and highly sensurable, and
we hope no General will be Influenced
in the slightest degree by the cry Of
son to Richmond" until good ready
has been made. II our Generals are
pressed to an onward movement be-
fore they are ready, we suggest the pro-
priety Of placing these ''impetuous''
gentlemen in the van, so as to enable
them TO have an unobstructed view.

E The traitor Vallandigham re-
ceived well-merited castigation the
other day in the House from Mr.. Hutch
ins, also Of this State. Since the open
ing of this session this brawling seces-
sionist has been treated with scorn and
contempt, and allowed to "spread him
self'' without let or hindrance, no man
caring to defle himself by coming in
collision with such moral putridity. In
tent only on lettering the action Of Con-
gress, and furthering the interests of
JEFF Davis, by every barrier to the
prompt action Of our rulers, be was suf-
fered to yelp and bark at every Union
movement, as men suffer cur dog to
snap and snarl at them on the public
highway.
But the release of Mason and Slidel
afforded him room for spreading" his
cutter and strong condemnation" upon
the Administration. He charges them
with ''strutting iDsolently into a quar-
rel without right, and then basely
creeping out of it without honor
He furthermore prophesies war with
England in three months, or a recogni-
ton of the Southern Confederacy. He
expresses great anxiety that the war
should take place, in order that we
might vindicate our claim to be one OF
the nations of the earth.
Mr.. Vallandigham is neither a pro-
Phet nor the son of prophet, although
his father was preacher. The war
will not take place, nor will the Confed-
eracy be acknowledged. If our claim
to nationality depended on the efforts
of such ineffable scoundrels as be, our
existence as such would be very short.
As well look for support from jeff Davis
and his cabinet. They too, want this
war with England for the purpose of
bringing about this same recognition of
their Government. There is a striking
similarity in the wants and wishes or.
these Confederate khaves. Mr.. Val
landigham is very angry at the release
of Mason and Slidell; so is JEFF Davis;
so too, we Believe, are Mason and Sli-
dell. The Richmond Dispatch is as
angry as Vallandigham dare be; so too
the Enquirer and Wing. They re-echo
his sentiments, or be theirs, we don't
care which, and both are re-echoed BY
the English aristocracy.
Mr.. Hutchins showed up the party
in their true light. He congratulated
the House on the sudden conversion OF
Vallandigham to war measures. He
also showed how much we might expect
from one, in war with England, who
had done so much for the perpetuity of
the Government in this rebellion. 1t
is high time such consummate knaves
were expelled from the House. His
presence is pollution to honest men,
1t is stencil in the nostrils of every
patriot.

RIA large amount of clothing was
sent to our soldiers who were prisoners
at Richmond upon the solemn promise
Of the Confederate officers that il should
be faithfully distributed. So it was, but
to Confederate soldiers instead of the
poor Union men who were suffering for
want of il. No one need be surprised
at this late exemplifcation of Southern
honesty. After the exploits of Floyd
and his associates in the thieving line,
it is a matter Of surprise our rulers
should commit to their charge any thing
which could be stolen. When will they
learn that the Confederates have long
since abandoned every principle Of hon
DR. in carrying on this war?

R Gov. DEssrsos has delivered hi

4
E Gov. DENNrsoN has delivered his
tinal message to the Legislature Of Ohio,
now in session at Columbus. Its great
length precludes it from our columns;
yet we take great pleasure in laying be-
fore our readers few extracts going TO
show our growth and progress as q
State. On all points growing out Of
this civil war, the Gov. in clear and
perspicuous manner exhibits the posi-
ton of our State, and her noble efforts
to sustain the cause of the Union. To
this end, the labor imposed upon the
State officers at Columbus was enor-
nous, and the wonder is SO few mis-
takes were made by men wholly mex
perienced in the art Of war. Though
some Of the States which remained 10y
al, may have exceeded us in the dis
patching of troops and efficiency Of mill
itsry equipments, yet taking into ac-
count the fact that Ohio was entirely
without any military system or volun-
teer force. and her people wholly en-
gagged in peaceful avocations, her e1er-
tions in behalf Of the cause Of the Union
are truly great and surprising. Herre-
sources are shown to be ample, and her
ability to sustain her share of the bur-
den consequent upon this war is un-
doubted. We undertake no review Of
this State paper. Gov. Dennison has
stated every thing pertaining to himself
in modest, unassuming style, doing
impartial justice to all alike, friends and
foes. No one who preceded him in his
high Office ever had 1.-THE of the labor
and difficulty to undergo which has
fallen to his lot, and few, if any, would
have discharged the duties better. He
retires TO private life leaving an unblem-
ished record behind him, and whilst ad-
hitting errors in conducting his civil
and military administration, declares
his ruling motive to have been, an earn
est desire to promote the interests of
our people, and preserve the honor of
our State and nation. All parties will
concede to him this much, and that he
endeavored to do his duty as friend of
the Union, more than political parti-
zan. 1t is to be hoped his successor
will be Influenced by the same praise
worthy motives. We shall see.

DEsPoNDENcE AT RIcHMoND.-Stste-
meuts that the rebels are despairing Of
success have generally been regarded
as inventions of the ''relisble gentle
man." But here is paragraph from
a source that must be admitted to be
good authority. The Richmond Ex-
aminer Of Dec. 30th, after hinting thas
some Of the leaders are anxious for sub
mission, and are therefore allowing
their army to remain idle, says:
There is a somber aspect on many
faces; and the belief prevails that il the
war IS not waged IN earnest, we are
doomed, and that Virginia and all the
border States must inevitably be re-oc-
cupied by the Federal authorities But
we differ from the faint-hearted in one
respect Of opinion. We think the army
will not submit, whatever may be the
stipulations Of others.

Col. KuRTz.-A correspondent Of
the New York World tells the follow
ing story of Colonel Kurtz when he was
Captain in the Massachusetts Thirteenth
Regiment, and in command at Monocs-
cy Junction, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, when the greater por-
ton of the rebels in the Maryland Leg
islsture were arrested. The sdroit ex-
pedient used to accomplish the object
surely is creditable to the gallant Colo
mel of the Twenty third Regiment:
"He had received orders from Gen.
Banks to arrest them (the members of
the Maryland Legislature). but how to
who they were was puzzling
in the extreme. When the train ar
rived Capt. Kurtz entered the car and
announced, as usual. that every person
on board would be searched, but il any
we're members of the Maryland Legis-
ature they would be exempt. Of
course the gentlemen were only too
Happy to be relieved from such an in
iignity, and they politely stepped into
mother car, and were then put under
be care of g guard, and conveyed to
Frederick. They returned next day,
nth Wisconsin soldier each for COM
,anion, and their opinion Of Capt.
zartz very much depreciated."
