The Adjournment of Congress.

Thank God! Congress has adjourned,
and most active fosterer of the rebellion
lis silenced. jeff Davis, in our Judgment,
has not done and could not do half as
much to prolong the war, unite the South
divide and distract the North, as this Con-
gress has accomplished. Its course has
been just as disastrous to the cause Of the
Union as if its policy had been dictated
by the arch-fend of the rebellion. The
Buffalo Conanaercialexpresses our opinion
quite forcibly in the following paragraph: ::
"There are individual members of Con-
gress who, as we firmly believe, have done
their whole duty during the present ses-
sion, and to such we are inclined to award
full credit-but for Congress, considered
as such, we have the supremest contempt.
1t has wastedseven-nearlye yeight-months
in doing what could easily have been per-
fectcd in as many weeks; has seemed utter
ly to ignore the fact that the nation is en-
gagged in a, deadly contest, and that, in
such case, the only legislation needed
was that which should directly bear upon
the war; has fddled and fnmed over trivial
and foreign subjects; has refused to eject
from its pale those who were known to be
traitors; has snubbed the President and
his Cabinet; has insulted General Me-
Clellan-in short has done about every
thing that it should not have done, and
little that it should have DONE The

that we do not intend to '.sneer" at Con-

ON THE STUMP.

Hon. Hugh j. Jewett the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio last fall,
and an ardent supporter of our present
State ticket, and our excellent nominee,
for supreme Judge, Rufus P. Ranney,
have been invited by Gov Tod to speak
in different parts of the State, in company
with other gentlemen, to help to get men
to volunteer in defense Of their country.
They have accepted the invitation, and
are now on the stump urging the people
to assist in putting down this rebellion.
This act of Gov. Tod's gives the lie to
those republican sheets who have had the
treason in their hearts, to call these gen.
tlemen and their supporters, Secessionists.

club, tunes played by our band, the best in
the service, and everything else done that
could be thought of to commemorate our
natal day. The most wonderful part of
the performance was-that all this was
done without women. Now, my dear Mr..
Editor, 1 would like to see you lay back
and laugh incredulously. Iguess it would
be failure.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The weather is warm all the time, and
most "devilish hot generally here, and
the way it makes the "invaders sweat
and swear is caution. To what degree
the thing will increase, is hard to tell but
they say there is no end to it, as it in
creases just as the ''clerk" inclines. Wish
he would incline Northward.
The news of camp are various, but the
most interesting one news is that the enc
my are advancing on US. Most anything
would be relieving in these trying times,
even, if it was few thousands of the
rebels hunting for that last ditch. Ifthey
come many of them will find that often
talked of gutter, not far from here, we
assure you.
Col. Fuller has command OF the Ohio
Brigade, Lieut. Col. Kennel is on Gen.
Popc's Staff, and consequently" Major
Spalding is now in command. Nobody is
displeased, however, for the Major is a
general favorite with the regiment, and ii
would be death to any one to say aught
against him, in the hearing of 9th boy
The esprit comes to US, very regu-
larly now, and we get it about as soon as
some of the subscribers do in Monroe
County. The 9th reached here on the
18th, four days out. The boys read ii
over and over again, until it is worn out
advertisements and all. There is nothing
from old Monroe more welcome.
Well, we had nothing to write when we
began, and we have done as we'll as could
be expected-wrote nothing. Tell your
readers, Mr.. Editor, that they cannot re-
gret the dearth of news, in this scribble
more than BRIGHAM.
