several fiourishing nations on this cont

From the Cincinnati Commercial. Editorial.
We are not in favor of blookading the
Southern coast. We are not in favor OF
retakiog by force the property of the
United States now in possession of the
Seceders. We would recognize the ex-
istence of government formed of all
the seeding States, and attempt to cul-
tivate amicabie relations with it."
The articles from which these extract.
are taken appeared in the Commercial
after Mr.. Lincoln had been inaugurated
President, and had administered the
Government for several weeks. Its
policy was to let the Union 60. From a
paper of such antecedents we can safely
stand the charges that we sympathize
with the Secessionists and are opposed
to the Union, false and Infamous as such
charges are.-Euquirrer.

DEAR SPIRIT: Months have elapsed
since your gentle readers have read from
your spirited columns, word for Co. K.
Of the lst Ohio Artillery. Why this is
so is because the dull aud mohotonous
life in Ohio camp furnishes no interesting
matter for letter writing; but we was not
destined to always remain there, for about
the 20th of January we were ordered to
Virginia, and on the way the hand Of af-
Fiction was laid upon the writer, anc was
absent from the company until the 18th
of the present month, when he rejoiDed

boys in excellent health and Sfne spirits
and packed up ready to move; but this

mile each day, and constantly being ex.
posed to the enemy s. FIRE, for they shelled
our camp every day without any damage
to our side, although ou- firing proved
very much to their displeasnre, during all
this time our battery was in the advance.
They won this position by their gallant
conduct on the field Of Winchester.
When "Stone walp' was getting ready to
feast at the sumptuous table of the Win

Gen. Shields in his report places ths
honor upon the battery as firing the frs
gun in the calling contest, and not only
that but as firing the first offensive CUR

his death blow, bis name is Jacob Yager

To show what kind of paper it is
that impugns the loyalty and Union feel

THE CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL OPPOSES A
WAR FOR THE sUBJUGATIoN OF THE SOUTH
(From the Cincinnati Commercial, Editorial.)
War for the subjugation Of the Sece-
ders would be unwise and deplorable.
There is no province in the world, con.
quered and held by military force. that is
not a weakness to it's master Many of
the English colonies have drained Eng
land of her wealth. The English people
are now eaten up with taxation to hold
distant possessions ia military subjection,
and carry on her world. wide system of
6libustering, which has fo, centuries been
a national passion. The wars, which are
visited upon her in her monstrous national
debt, were occasioned by the pride of her
aristocracy and the intrigues of her poll
ticians, and were not, with an, exception or
Two, in the interest of her people. India.
upon which she has lavshed her strength,
and which is the most magnificent trophy
of wars of conquest held by any nation,
is an incumbrance to ber to-day. Algiers
is costly and Improbable appendage of
France. Venetia Is the weak spot of
Austria, and the life's blood of the en-
pire is drained to hold that territory,
which is absolutely worthless to the Aus
trians, and fetters her armies in the quad.
rilateral. The history of the world cer-
tainly proves that it is not profitable to
govern people without their consent.
THE COMMERCIAL GOES IN FOR SEPARATION
| OF THE UNION. a.
(From the Commercial, Editorial
The logical lesson of this fact in this
country is, that if there are two nations
here who have been living in an unuatu-
raj Union, they should, for the benefit oi
one or both, be separated. We do no,
entertain the opinion that forced alli
ance between antagonistic nationalities
has existed iu the Union which our faith
ers made. We believe, whatever the diff
ference in domestic institutions, in TEN
permanent. in soil and climate, aad in ideas
of local government, to be found within
the limits of the land, that each interest
was secure within the Uuion, and that oil
sections were more prosperous and happy

RADWAY'S REGULATING PILLS

Are the great regenerative medicine of the
age. Ladies for years the victims of depress-
ing, lite-consuming complaints of a special
nature, are restored to health and vigor by
their use. All the ordinary affections of the
stomach, bowels, and liver, yield to the first
second dose. Six Pills c-,fice in the worst
cases, and they operate in from three to six
hours, more effectually than 80 of the drastic
class given in such nauseating quantities.
Coated with sweet gum the Pills have no dis
agreeable flavor. They not only cure Costive-
ness quickly but permanently. I'd in bilious
ness they are infallible. Dyspeptics who have
suffered for years, recover in few weeks un-
der this painless operation. They act power
fully upon the circulation of the blood, rem
derng it uniform and equable throughout the
system. H fdtH bibs
