Ba- CHARGED WITH STEAL1NG.-The
clerk of the steamer Golden Era, which
was lying at the Belmont Mills, yesterday,
made complaint before AID. Mccourtneyf,
charging the negro barber on that boat
with stealing twenty five dollars from the
Office. The negro was taken to the Alder
mans office. The only evidence against
him was that he was seen coming out of the
office, and that he was suspected of hav-
ing taken the money! The alderman
didn's consider the evidence sufficient, and
SO the intelligent. lcontraband was dis
charged.

what bruised. He was brought over to
the Sprigg House Hospital. and as he was
pretty drunk very little difficulty was ex.

is now doing well. The soldier was on his

occurred.

G9~ PosrAaE SrAMps.-Many of our mer-
chants are now using postage stamps for
small change, and the sales Mt the Post-cf-
fee have consequently largely increascd.-
Purchasers do not like to take the stamps
in change, as geperal thing, but it is
hoped that after a while oil will become
used to it, The ten cent stamp is used to
a greater extent than others, being much
more eoayepient in making change.

the termination of the rebellion, sweep
French commerce from the seas, and
end in kicking his red legged Zouaves
out of Mexico.

CAIRO, Dec. 6.-Gen. Hovey left
Helena on the 9th of November, with
about 10000 troops. He landed al
Friar's Point, on the Mississippi side
twelve miles below. From that point
he marched direct to Grenada, which
is 100 miles south of Memphis. The
presence of SO large a force in the
heart of Mississippi, caused most in.

Large numbers fled in terror. The
people of Grenada heard Of the ap.

in their fight by the extreme haste
with which the appeal proprietors

four cannon on the highest hill near
town, but they pointed north and could
not be used in an opposite direction.
Before leaving, the rebels burned about
one hundred cars.

he leans back and wipes his mouth,
there is an evident relaxation, and his
wife ventures to ask for the news.
When the roast beef is disposed of she
presumes upon gossip, aud possibly
upon jest; and when, at last, the
desert is spread upon the table all
hands are merry, and the face of the
husband and father, which entered the
house SO pinched and savage, and
sharp, becomes soft and full, and beam

The President Unidentified.

The House of Representatives on
Monday last, passed the bill of Thad
IDEAS Stevens, insuring the President
against legal liability for the arrests Of
persons charged with treason or dis
.loyMpractices.
2 In this, the,House did..right While
possibly few men have been or may
be restrained of their liberty, who are
innocent of acts or intentions of dis
loyalty, yet, under the present circum
stances in which the President finds
the country and the Government, Ger
stain arrests have been and may be
again necessary. That the Presiden,
who certainly would not permit the ar
rest and imprisonment of an innocent
person, Intentionally or knowingly
should be Unidentified against the con.
sequences Of mistakes of this kind,
committed by the agents or officers OF
the Government, is no more than
proper.
Of course the Vallandighammers in
the House opposed the resolution. Oh
course they delight to oppose anything
and everything that is favorable to the
President or his friends.

New Plan Proposed for Electing the
President.

Senator Garrett Davis, Of Kentucky,
ION Monday, offered a joint resolution
in the Senate, proposing amendments
to the Constitution, changing the pres
ssnt method of electing the President
and Vice President of the United
States. Instead of doing it by voting
for electors, he proposes that each
State shall send delegates to Con-
gress, which body shall, by open bal
lot, elect the President and Vice Pres
ident from among such candidates as
may be nominated from the several
States. In case of a failure of the
Congress to elect, the duty Of choosing
a President shall devolve upon the
Supreme Court.
In noticing the introduction of this
resolution, the Chicago Journal sug.
gests, and we think all loyal people will
agree with it, "that it might be quite
as well to attend to the great question
Of saving the country and re-establish-
ing it upon firm and sure basis OF
peace and unity, before squandering
much time in the discussion of election
laws, amendments to the Constitution,
or the choosing of future Presidents"

What the Rebels Expect from their
Northern SympathfZers


A rebel newspaper in Georgia, in
mourning over Bragg's failure in Ken
lucky. says that had the rebel General
done his duty, Louisiana would have
been ours, Cincinnati would have fur
nished us supplies, while Columbus,
Ohio, might have been our headquar-
tiers. Then would the Vallandighams
of Ohio, and the Brights of Indiana,
haye rallied to the issuing of General
Bragg's noted Proclamation; then
would many thousand friends in Indi-
ana, Ohio and Illinois, have joined the
Southern army; then too, could Gen.
Bragg, having cut off the Western
from the Eastern States, have whisper
ed terms Of peace into the North west
ern ear; and then might we have rea-
sonably hoped for peace"
This is a precious confession, but
doubtless in the main true, as to the
traitors mentioned.

abouts which you will observe have not

tients including about one dozen
"secesll' prisoners who, by the way,
are the most filthy set of beings that
ever existed in civilized society. One OF
the most filthy soloons or bar rooms in
all the Hoosier State, would be palac e
when compared with the apartments of
the rebel sick when they came into our
possession, and these statements will
be verified, when l tell you that for
the first ten days after l came here,
they averaged, at least, out of 60 sick
soldiers, one day that was placed be-
meath the clods of the earth-and often
have / seen two and three carried away
in the hearse at the same time, and
mind you, they were at this time under
the care of their own men. But this
is in keeping with the treatment OF
Prentiss, and scores, yea, thousands OF
oar soldiers from their traitorous
hands. Strange as it may seem, /
have conversed with soldiers here from
every rebel State except Virginia, and
nine tenths of them are tired of the
war, and say they would be glad to be
ont of it. The most intelligent among
them are from Georgia; yet as gen.
eral thing they are very ignorant and
can give you no correct idea of what
they are fighting for. Refugees from
East Tennessee and the country be-
tween here and Cumberland Gap have
been passing through here for the past
two or three days, going farther west,
where they may be able 10 support their
families during the coming winter, hav-
ing been stripped of everything by the
Rebels. Only day or two since, four
or five ladies with several small chill
dren passed by on foot upon the same
errand. But day of terrible retribu-
ton is in store for the rebels in that re-
gion of country. learned from a re-
sponsible citizen of this place who is
person ally acquainted with several in
telligent men from East Tennessee, and
who are now in the Union army, that
have had all their personal property
and buildings destroyed by the Rebels
of their own vicinity, and in some in
stances their friends murdered. Blu,
those Union men have their names and
they swear "by the eternal' that if our
army is ever brought in proximity to
til ose districts their lives shall pay the
the debt. All you tender, footed
"Union men" of the Free States could
you have the experience that those 10y
al men of Southern Kentucky and East
Tennessee have had you would endorse
the emancipation proclamation, or any
other means that would tendto embarras
the rebels aud suppress this internal
war. Nothing is too severe, in my
opinion, for the leaders and synapathizers
in this internal Rebellion. But there
is God, and justice cannot forever
sleep. remain as ever,
