Warren Chase lectu, ed on the atfa rI Of the
Nation, at !he Disciple Church in this vii
lage, on Thursday evening of last week.
Starting out with the proposition that three
things arc essential to a true democracy,
viz, free lands, free labor and general edu.
cation, he proved pretty conclusively that
the present Rebellion owes its origin to the
undemocratic social system of the South,
which mouopolizes land, enslaves and do.
grades labor, and prohibits general educa-
tion. He thought tho surost way to pre-
vent future Robelions was, to extend tho
Northern social system over tho South
We had never heard Mr.. Chase before, and
were much pleased with his remarks.

Honorable ~ Mention,

We were publishing some months since, a
"Roll of Honor" We purpose now to COM
mence the publication of another and
very different roll, which shall include the
names Of such persous as have defrauded
us out of our just dues. 1t is we'll known
10 newspaper publishers that there is class
of worthless and, for the most part, name
less vagabonds, in our country, especially
in the larger cities, who subsist on the Gre.
dulity of the public, and are enabled to do
80 by advertisements for which thoy never
pay. We have number in our mind, who
may receive attention hereafter, but will
mention only two at this time.
c. T. DUPONT.
This gentleman, (successor to Church g.
Dupont, of New York; is largely indebted
to US, and probably to many others, for ad
vortising. A friend of ours made numerous
calls at his head, quarters, months ago, but
could never find him at home. He has now
removed, nobody knows whore. We have
no confidence in him, and would advise all
who may be so unfortunate as to have any
deal with him, to watch him closely.
E. II. SANDS,
An itinerant doctor, who halls from Con.
neautviIle, Pa, owes us for more than q
years advertising, and, although we have
repeatedly written to him, and offered to
make liberal deduction if he would settle
the bill, has nevor deigned to answer. We
have given him fair notice that, if We did
not hear from him, he would obtain an un-
enviable notorietY, and we now warn tho
public not to harbor or trust him on our &C.
count or his own. He has no plaster that
can stick him to his obligations. III to be
hoped that such Sands will quickly run out
Other willful deIinquents need not feel
slighted if their names do not at onco ap.
pear. They shall be noticed in due season.

How FLOYD, THE GUN-THIEF, WAS
FORCED TO REslsN. - Mr. Thurlow
Weed writes letter to the London
Star, of February 18th. in which he
gives the following account of the man
ner in which John B. Floyd was
brought to resign his place as Secreta-
ry of War, under Mr.. Buchanan, which
he had used to further the ends of
treason:
In February. Major Anderson. COM
manding at Fort Moultrie. Charleston
hsrbor, finding his position endangered.
passed his garrison by a prompt and
brilliant movement, over to the strong
fortress OF Sumter; whereupon Mr..
Floyd. Secretary OF War. much excited.
called upon the President to say that
Major Anderson had violated express
orders, and thereby seriously compro-
missed him (Floyd). and that unless
the Major was Immediately remanded
to Fort Moultrie he should resign the
War Office.
The cabinet was assembled directly.
Mr.. Buchanan. explained the embar-
rassmeut of the Secretary Of War. re-
marking that the act OF Major Anderson
would occasion evaporation in the
South. He had told Mr.. Floyd that,
as the Government was strong, for
bearance toward "erring brethren
might win them back to their ale
glance" and that that officer might be
ordered back. After an ominous ST.
lence the President inquired how the
suggestion struck bis Cabinet.
Mr.. Stanton, Just now called TO the
War Office, but then Attorney General,
answered: "That course. Mr.. President,
ought certainly to be regarded as most
liberal toward erring brethren; but
while one member Of the Cabinet has
fraudulent acceptances for millions oi
dollars afoat, and while the confidential
clerk of another-himself in Carolina
teaching rebellion = has just stolen
S9o0,0 from the Indian Trust Fund,
the experiment OF ordering Major
Anderson back to Fort Moultrie would
be dangerous. But If you intend to try
it. before it is done beg that you will
accept my resignation.
"And mine," added the Secretary oil
State, Mr.. Black.
"And mine. also." said the Post
master General. Mr. Holt.
And mine, too" followed the Secre =
tary OF the Treasury, Gen Dix.
This. Of course opened the bleared
eyes of the President, and the meeting
resulted in the acceptance of Mr..
Floyd's resignation.

Gov. WISE AND HIS DEAD SoE.-The
Norfolk correspondent Of the Richmond
Dispatch, under date OF the 18th inst,
writes:
Last night, when the steamer arrived
at Currituck, Gen. Wise directed that
the coffin containing the remains of his
son be opened. Then, I learn from
those who were present, scene trans
pired that words cannot describe. The
old hero bent over the body Of his son,
on whose pale face the full moon threw
its light, kissed the cold brow many
times, and exclaimed, in an agony of
emotion, "Oh, my brave boy, you have
died for me-you have died for meP'
That powerful old hero Of Eastern
Virginia, as famous for the general i'm
pulses Of his soul as for his indomita-
bic bravery and prowess, recovering
now from his illness, and nsrved
perchance more strongly by the great
loss he has sustained, will fight the enc

~ The exhibition under charge OF
the "Soldier's Aid Society,"" came of
at the court house on Wednesday night
last, and was in great measure a sue
cess. That it was not entirely so, was
more owing to portion of the audience
than to those who took part in the ex-
ercises. The low rates Of admission
caused the house to be completely
jammed. The half price tickets to
children, enabled crowd Of rude, un-
mannerly boys to get in, whose sole
aim was to display their Vulgarity and
low breeding in style that would make
the 6ltbiest negro on our streets hide
himself for very shame. One of them
was so incomparably mean, as to cheat
the door keeper out Of his dime by
passing counterfeit ticket. We con.
fidently expect to see that sneak thief
at no very distant day, not out but in
side of the bar in that same room, re-
ceiving a ticket for admission TO the
State prison at Columbus. Such con
duct as that at the exhibition, is oply
precursory to that end.
The proceeds of Wednesday night
were S69,75 cts. On Thursday night
the exercises were repeated gratuitous'
ly for the benefit of the soldiers in the
6Oth regiment o. ", by whom the
house was completely filed.
OF the performers. it might seem
invidious to speak Of some, where all
were deserving. yet to speak of all,
would far transcend our limits. Suffice
it to say, the ladies were tasteiully at.
tired, looked charming, even in the
dim twilight caused by the few lights
fgrnished-acted their parts admirably
and acquitted themselves, under the
circumstances, in a manner highly COM
mendable and gratifying to every one,
who can appreciate any thing Of re-
fning tendency.

~ The second auction for this SCI

re- The second auction for this sea-
son of condemned U. s. horses came
off in Gsllipolis, on Saturday last, un-
der charge of Capt. H. H. BOeoEss,
Assistant Quartermaster. Predictions
of low prices had been made, under
the impression that many purchasers at
the former sale, finding themselves bad
ly "taken in," would be more cautious,
and further, that the animals were
much inferior in quality, which was
strictly true.
Yet the average prices on Saturday
were four dollars better than al the
first sale. Spectators from Cincinnati.
Petersburg, Marietta, and divers 9TH
er places were on the ground, but we
take it, were hardly paid for time and
expenses in coming to the "fair."-
They found to their great surprise,
that it was fair sale, that no combina-
tions on their part, could deter our citi-
zens from bidding up on them. Unlike
the sale of Government bacon at PIT.
Pleasant short time since, every man
had an equal chance, and "Uncle Sam"
received in consequence Of it, full val
ne for every horse.
We very much doubt If the spscula-
ting gentry from abroad will trouble
themselves hereafter to attend any sales
of Government property held in CALI
polls. 1t don't pay. The Quarter
master being an honest man, with whom
they can effect no collusion. and our peo-
pie able and willing to purchase at fair
rates, these keen. sharp. trading gen.
tlemen are out OF their element, and
uofully mistaken in their calculations.
As we heard one remark at the sale, alt
amt no use to come to Gallipolis for
bargains. There are ten men for every
horse, and the devil Of it is, they've al
got the money to pay for them; wish
had staid at home" We concurred in
his opinion.
Gen. Rosecrans has very wisely Sc.
lected this place as head quarters foi
the live stock required In his division,
and If all offered for sale to-morrow
would bring full value. At the sale on
Saturday 81 horses and mules were sold.
The lowest price. $500, paid for bro
ken backed horse which the buyer would
most probably pay 81 additional TO
have somebody shoot-the highes.
$3.50 for three fooled mule. The
average price was sa6.s7 and the net.
proceeds s1.47o.5o. At the close Of
the sale few were offered on private
account, bought at the former sale, and
sold at greatly increased prices.

RE- DR.. JONATHAN MORRIS, Surgeon
of the 9th Virginia regiment, who wa:
captured at Guyandotte in November
last, and taken to Richmond, reached
here Saturday last, on his way home
at lronton. having been exchanged
The Doctor bitterly complains of i'll.
treatment by Col. Clarkson and bis
thieving followers, who numbered ff-
teen hundred. For the first two DAYS
after leaving Guyandotte he was fur
nished but one meal, and for the whole
distance TO Richmond, the prisoners
were allowed only half rstions, and
those of the meanest kind. He states
that Clarkson murdered Col. Bailey in
cold blood after he had surrendered,
and also confirms the statement made at
the time, that Jim Hereford was one OF
the leading devils at the Guyandotte
massacre. He saw and conversed
with him, which puts at rest all doubts
on that score. We hope the Doctor
viii furnish an account Of "his trayels''
