it. Gen Lander Withdrew the guard from

as much as possible, when down they
pounced and cut of our communication,

Gen. lNndcr's mach on Bloomery Gap.

Eg The loss OF the Federalists in
killed and wounded at the battle of
Pittsburg, is variously estimated. The
most reliable account places it at from
thirty-fve hundred TO four thousand
Two thousand of the wounded were ex-
pected to reach Cincinnati by this
"wednesday evening, where ample
accommodations areprepared for them.
The rebel loss in killed is supposed to
be much greater than ours. One cor
respondent states that he could ride
through the battlefield where our for
ces were posted, but the dead we're so
thick in the enemy's lines that he could
not do il there. Gen. Beauregard and
Johnston commanded the rebel right,
and Gen. Polk on the left. Johnston
was struck in the head by cannon
ball, killing him instantly, and Beaure-
gard had one arm shot of, and, accord
ing to rebel accounts, subsequently,
died Of his wounds.

~ The news Of the great battle at
Pittsburg landing. and consequent suf-
fering and death of our brave soldiers,
met with q warm and cordial response
on part Of the citizens Of Gallipolis.
A subscription was promptly taken, and
in few hours nearly s400 were paid
in. and BY telegraph placed to the cred
it Of the Sanitary Committee Of Gin
einnati. Never was there q greater
willingness exhibited by cur people to
contribute to this fund. We know Of
but two refussls. This is a highly re-
spectacle donation for a village like
Gallipolis. and the more SO, when Il is
considered that the charities of our
people have been constantly taxed for
local subjects, for nearly one year past.
We, have always had sick and wounded
soldiers among US, who received the
kindest care and attention Of our peo-
pie. In the present instance, our citi-
zens did not stop with money contri-
button. Our ladies, God bless them,
with that commendable zeal and activity
which has rendered them famous all
over the State. for charity and kindness,
set TO work preparing clothing, hospi-
tai stores, food for the sick, and preps-
rations for the wounded. in immense
quantities, all of which were duly
shipped, by E. DELEroMBE & Co. on
the Ohio No. 8. yesterday.
1t gives US unfeigned pleasure. thus
to chronicle the efforts Of our people
in behalf Of the sick and wounded SOL
dIers. 1t speaks volumes in their favor,
and cannot fail TO bring down the
blessings of Heaven upon them and
their children. They are thus "casting
their bread upon the waters" but ere
long It shall return to them an hundred
fold. It is a further indication that
none Of the demoralizing effects Of
war are felt among us. That all the
finer feelings Of human nature are yet
warm and glowing in our hearts, and
that sickness or suffering meet with a
prompt and cheerful response from
every one. no matter how humble their
station in life.

H From a private letter received

R From 9 private letter received
here from Capt. GRArux Of the 4th
Va. Regiment, stationed n Ceredo. We
learn the death OF Major BURx, Of the
l4th Kentucky, who died at Catiets-
burg on Friday last. Four companies
Of the 4th Virginia were detailed as q
funeral escort, under command OF Maj.
Hall. Maj. BURk was q merchant, and
doing a good business in Catletsburg,
before the war began, but gave up his
business and his life for his coun-
try. He was only 2s years of age.
We are grasified to learn that the
4th Virginia Regiment was compliment
ted by the officers and soldiers of other
Regiments, who were present at this
funeral, for the discipline and good be-
hayior Of the companies composing the
escort. We are proud of the Gallis
boys in that Regiment.

H We are informed that the Sec
retary Of the State Agricultural Society,
has procured for gratuitous distribution
about 700 bushels Of cotton seed. Our
worthy representative, Jos. BRADBURr,
Esq, says he can procure from, three
to six bushels for distribution in Gallia
county. We take this method Of ad-
vising our farmers in regard to it. If
any think proper to go into it, now is
the time to obtain. We see no reason
why it should not be cultivated in
Southern Ohio as well as Southern H.
linois. The only thing in the way is
the lateness of the season, and the dull
prospect for preparing the ground in
season for corn and oats. Still, if there
be any who conclude to try the expert
ment, they can let us know, and we
will advise Mr.. Bradbury OF it in time.

E ANY thing pertaining to the af-
fairs Of our neighbors across the river
must be interesting to our readers
The election lately held in Western
Virginia has been a subject Of consid-
cradle anxiety, in the minds OF all true
friends Of constitutional liberty. Al
though the returns are meager, and the
vote small, we CLEAN therefrom the fol-
lowing facts: In Ohio county Wheel

Enough is known to justify the belief,
that in 80 counties comprising the new
State of Western Virginia, the majori-
ty in favor Of the constitution is go to

Now If Senator Carlisle can not see in
this vote, that his course is contrary to
the wishes of his constituents. be would
better resign, and allow an honest man
to fill his place. He well knows that
slavery in Eastern Virginia. bullied the
whole State into treason. Why can he
not see that freedom only can bring her
back to'a respectable standing among
the States. Alas! none are so blind
as those who will not see, and Mr..
Carlisle seems to be chief among this
class.
Give US Western Virginia as free
State, with her mines of coal, salt and
iron. her oil and timber, and she will
move forward after this war, with such
gigantic strides in point of wealth and
prosperity, as she could not have
reached in century under the accursed
law of slavery oligarchy. from which
she aoE bids fair to cut loose forever.
Let her ally herself with free labor, and
her future is one Of great and glorious
prosperity. Can not Mr.. Carlisle see
it? s-. tsr

For the GallinoIis Journal.


DEAR Mn. HARPER:-I want 10 let
the world in general and the 60th Reg
iment in particular, know through your
kindness, that there are some young Ia
dies in Gallipolis who do not desire TO
partake of the celebrity which the "Gal-
hpolis girls" by their insanity on the
subject Of "bIue coats and brass buttons, +"
have gained far and near. claim TO
belong TO the GallipolIs ladies, not girls,
and I can truly say that there are not
more than dozen in the Regiment who
are acquainted with US, and they either
came recommended by friends, or knew
us before the war broke out. In say
ing this, we do not wish to insinuate
that from the mere fact Of their being
soldiers we should look down upon
them. We would do all in our power
to make them comfortable, but we do
not know who are, or are not, worthy Of
our esteem, and it becomes us TO be on
our guard for this reason, to say moth
ing Of the forfeiture of their respect,
which is, and which must be, the natur-
al consequence of thus throwing aside
the modesty and reserve belonging to
our sex. They may write as much sill
ly poetry as they choose to the Gsllipo-
lis girls, but they do not, and can not,
if they be gentlemen, feel one particle
Of respect for them. There may be a
few instances, in which the Gallipolis
girls will be remembered by the 6oth
after they have left US, but it will be as
a source Of mirth, from their anxiety
TO catch "soldier beau," not with the
least degree of esteem. Do they sup
pose that ridiculing our own gentlemen,
(whose least attention they were glad
to have before the war, by calling them
"Home Pets" "Door-y yard Rangers"
ETC., makes either the soldier, or those
whom they thus deride, have any higher
regard for them than they otherwise
would? II they do, they are very
much mistaken.
I confess there are some boys, good
for nothing, lounging animals, digni-
fed by the name Of men, whom l should
like TO see driven off to war and placed
in front, where, If any must suffer, it
would be them, for they are not Of the
slightest earthly use to themselves, or
any one else, but l do not think those
epithets ought to be applied to all who
have not volunteered, for If you drive
of our farmers, mechanics, manufac-
turers, &C., what shall we do for food,
arms, tools, clothing and the other
neeessaries Of life?
II the Gallipolis girls entertain so lit
lie respect for themselves as TO act as
they do, I have not the slightest OBJ
eciion, but Others with me do object, |
most strenuously, to being classed with
hem, for zoe have no ambition. 10 have

~ Necessity is said to be the moth

between the two classes. One Of the
richest took place at our wharf on Sat-

Detective CROWLEY concluded to inspect
the lard, which resulted in bringing to
light several dozens Of TASKS filed with

was placed, and few inches of the
lard spread on very nicely. But it was

~ The introduction of some reso-
lutions passed by the Senate, into the
House, relative to the treatment Of
secesh prisoners at Camp Chase, and
their slaves, created quite breeze in
that august body few days since
The conduct of the rebels was so out
of keeping with the treatment our men
received at Richmond, that steps we're
taken to enable the gentlemen to COM
prebend their situations. This aroused
the virtuous indignation of their friends
in the chamber, and a friend then pres
ent, informs us the 'secesh" element
exhibited itself stronger than he pre-
sumed it dared do. So we go. Our
gallant boys are treated like brutes at

niggers supported by our government,

And when public opinion demands
more rigorous treatment, the dough-
faced renegades elected as Union men,
get up a hubbub, and show the clOven
