About Rebels and Rebel Sympathi-

Much has been said from time to
time about the rebels on parole in our
city, and their sympathiSers. Cores
pondents Of papers outside Of the Cap
ital take pleasure in characterizing the
Capital of Ohio as "Secesh hole" 1t
is nm epithat that CRATES upon. the ears
Of our loyal citizens hnrshly, aud wounds
the feelings and hnmiliates the pride OF
oil lovers Of the Union bequeathed US
by our fathers.
That Secesh prisoners have been.
lionized and feasted, and even taken
as bosom friends by some Of our citi.
zens, and by effcsrs Of the United
States army, wo won't pretend to deny,
however humiliating the concession
NAV be TO us.
That rebels-murdorers Of our breth
ren-strut in the reception rooms of
our best hotels, feast in our dining
halls, aud in their bacchanalian revels
toast The "Southorn Confederacy" and
the hell.dyed traitor, JEFF, Davis, we
must admit.
That our citizens have given grand
suppers to which none but these Sscesh
vagabonds and scape gallowses, and
their Northern sympathizers, were in.
vited, we plead "guiIty."
That just before the last lot Of these
murderers were taken from this city to
the johnson Island prison, n number of
them had dinner at one Of our hotels,
at which the doors were closed and no
person admitted but the table servants;
and at which the most unholy secesh
revelry took place-we cannot, eonsid-
ering the source from which we derive
onr information, deny. And further,
the table servants we're enjoined to say
nothing about it.
That merchants of our city have
manufactured uniforms, with all the
Gaudy trappings called for by the rebel
army regulations, is SO currently re-
ported that it is generally believed.
That high county officer took reb
els to his home and feasted them, ant
on being called a traitor for it by gen
tleman, that the said official resented
the "soft impeachment a Ia Sayers

tleman Ia Hecnan. is current city gos

That certain lady, resident of th
Southern portion of the State, has beef
in the city in conference with thes
: robbers of our Government and ou
homes, and has made frequent trips t
the South, (some say as far as Nash
ville), and returning, given money t
her "boys" and her "pets," and make
herself otherwise obnoxious to our peo
pie for her rabid display Of sympoth
for the rebellion and its puppets-w
c cannot deny with any degree of SINGER
ity.
