Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-09-16

1t seems, says the Richmond Enquirer,
the most insolent and truculent of all
Southern papers, that the recent victories
of the Confederate army has aroused q
feeling for peace, which is beginning to
find public expression in Northern cities.
We are informed that a late copy of the
New York Times has been received that
says: IF the combined armies of McClel-
Ian, Burnside and Pope are defeated, then
we for one are for settlement We have
not seen the paper, and do not know
whether or not any qualifications were
added. Those who informed us of the
Times expression added that the whole
tone of the article was that of disappoint-
ment and sorrow. The only terms which
the Confederate States can accept will be
the immediete recognition of the present
Confederate States, and the permission TO
the other States to elect their own destiny,
and to decide whether their future shall be
with the Confederate States or with the
United Strtes. We are of the opinion that
the principle of election should be applied
not only to the Border Slave States. Not
that any of the Northern States are want
ed in the Confederacy, but as an acknowl-
edgment of the right of secession-for
which this war has been waged.
The peace which ends this War, should
acknowledge the ends for which it wss
fought, and apply its principles to each
and all Of the United States. We do not
see the necessity of any proclamation to
the Northwestern States about the free
navigation Of the Mississippi river, that
has already been sufficiently declared, and
the Northwestern States have, notwith-
standing that offer as vigorously sustained
the war as any of the Northern States.
We are unwilling to mitigate the force of
our victories by extending fayors or offers
to any portion Of our enemies. The aBili-
ty to conquer peace has been demonstra-
ted-let us do nothing that will appear
like an effort to purchase it.

The New-YOrk Times, of Saturday, con-
tanned severe article upon the Admins
tratiOn, which was the sequel of several
similar ones. Of these attacks the Wash
ington Republican says;
"The antics of the New-York Times and
World, in the present crisis, excite general
contempt and indignation. No two pa
pers have more persistently sustained the
policy which has brought Us into our pres
ent deplorable position. They now both
turn round, and, with consummate effront-
cry attempt to court popularity by abusing
an Administration, whose advisers, organs,
apologists, and sycophants they have here
tofore been. The World displays the
cloven foot in its call upon the people to
defeat the reelection of the Republican
members of Congress, who have notorious
ly opposed the manner in which this war
has been managed. The World wishes to
carry over whatever capital it can make
by denouncing the President as 'imbeeile,"
to the side of those who have sustained the
President in the precise measures which
constitute the Himbecilityp about which
the World makes such o noise

The siruntion nt GnIInnIis.

From private letter from gentleman
connected with the Quartermasters depart
ment at GallipOlis, dated on the 18th, Fri
day last, we make the following extract :.
There has been great deal of excite
ment here the past week jenkins has
made quite raid through here. We have
now about - thousand troops here
Point Pleasant came very near being at
tackled last week by Jenkins. All the
troops were sent up from here to assist in
defending the town. We reached there
about 10 o'clock in the evening. Just
then two Of our scouts were taken by Jenk-
ins who psroled them, and gave them so
dollars each for their horses, but thinking
that we had heavy force he retreated and
is now at his farm, about IS miles below
here. He has about l 500 men who are fine
ly mounted and well armed. Colonel
Lightburn was forced to evaeuate Gauley
yesterday morning. He burned all the
Government stores and the hospital. With
only 1000 men he cut his way through
twelve regiments. His loss was very heavy,
100 killed and double that numbe I. E.wounded,
The wounded viii be here tonight. think
the rebels will soon regain the whole pos
session Of the valley. The country is full
Of guerrillas. The boats that went up this
morning had their pilot houses planked up.
The militia have been organized, and when
armed will do more towards the defense of
the border than troops that are sent here
from other places"

The New Rebel Iron War steamer.

L-gAAA1l LlAAEs lfyAl4NLAlG -NNH AgAA@ 4AAAlN5sl
LoSDoS, Tuesday, August 26, 1862.
As the British Government gives no sign
of Interference in American affairs English
capitalists appear to have taken the mat
ter into their own hands. It is said that
the iron-plated steamer which left these
shores a few days ago and Of which you
will have probably heard before this
reaches you, was purchased by the South
ern Commissioners; but as she is reported
to have cost some S7,OOO,0O0, it is hard to
see where they got either the money OF
credit to purchase her.
It appears that this steamer was built
for the British Government, but rejected
as not up to the contract. She is very large,
can steam eighteen miles an hour, is COW
cred with six inch iron plates, and has an
armament Of which the heaviest guns are
rifed 120-pounders. If the reports circu-
lated here are true she will be far the most
formidable antagonist the American Navy
has ever met with. Should English capi-
talists, interested in cotton, fit out half
dozen such steamers, as they can very cas-
lily, and take cotton for pay, when they
can get it, you will find a use for all the
iron-elad ships you are building. It is true
that the steamer of which have spoken
may be the only one, and that not to be
despised, but there is nothing improbable
in larger number; and know not how
otherwise to account for the high spirits
of the secessionists here, who hint of some
terrible blow to be struck, and who speak
confidently of the return of peace, and of
resuming their occupations in the South,
and even in cities now occupied by Nation
al troons

To the Loyal Women Of the Uuited states.

To the Loyal Women of the Uuited States.
The LEADER of September 9th contains
the following from Halls Journal of
Health:
"0ut of one thousand soldiers, one hun
dred and four are sick; thisis the constant
proportion, as reported by the Sanitary
Commission. The autumn always increases
the number; by reason Of the hot days and
cool nights, causing diarrhDas and dysen-
teries, Of every shape and degree. One
yard and half of stout woolen flannel,
fourteen inches broad, worn from August
TO November, tightly and constantly around
the abdomen, in such a way that it will be
double in front, with bit of tape strongly
sewed on one end, and about one yard from
the other, according to the size of the per-
son, for convenience Of tying, would do
more toward preventing bowel complaints
among our brave and self-denying soldiers
than all known human means besides
This simple device arrested the onset of
cholera in three days in one of the largest
divisions Of the Prussian army, when the
terrible scourge last visited Europe.
Let every family who have a member
in the army, forward such an article on
the instant of reading this; if you can do
no better, send an old worn petticoat, for,
by reason Of its softness and pliability, it
is better than anything else"
Each soldier should be supplied with two
bandages, for one worn constantly, accord
ing to directions, would soon become very
dirty and create disease.
Loyal women will contribute to the ex-
tent of their ability. Many cannot com
mand a dollar in the purchase of flannel,
neither can they give pettieoat, but near
ly every family has some article which can
be converted into bandages. A wool shawl,
if double and large size, will make ten,
which may save the lives of Eve soldiers.
A sheet will make several. Dresses,
shirts, any clean, stout flannel, even if
half worn and of all eolors, except black,
can be used for that purpose. What is
done in that direction must be efficient and
be done quickly. Let every woman who can
give but one, send it Immediately. Let
those who can send dozens aud hundreds,
and thereby prevent fearful suffering and
mortality in the army, widOwhOOd, orphan
age, broken hearts and blighted hopes at
home.
There is a great demand for hospital
supplies of all kinds, lint and bandages
are among those most needed Women
who have Wheeler s Wilson's sowing ma
chimes can, at an expense of twenty-five
cents, have them arranged to materially
facilitate the preparation of roller bandsge.
Take the spool spindle to a machinist to en-
able him to cut a screw Of the required
size; the shank should be one inch in length,
the spindle seven inches long and one six
teenth of an inch in diameter The remov-
al of the needle, the cloth plate and the
feed bar win prevent injury to the machine.
One woman can, with the machine, accom-
plish the work of twenty, which is an i'm
portant consideration in this emergency.

Excitement in Indiana.

There was considerable excitement at
Madison, Indiana, on Friday night, and
the Courier says unusually heavy pickets
we're thrown out, by order Of the Colonel
commanding, information having been re-
ceived that the enemy designed an attack
Everything was arranged inside and out
side of the place to give the enemy warm
reception. No hostile foe, however, ap-
peared, though it is said that rebel spies
have been prowling about for several days,
and scouts say the movements indicate a
contemplated raid.

The Feeling AT WashingtOn--What the
President Thinks and Snys.


A private letter received in Chicago, dat
ed September 5th, from Washington, says:
"The Presidents anger is up, for once,
and now look out to see the fur fly. He
has been disappointed and mortified be-
yond speech by recent events. 1t will take
a week ortwO to repair matters, and then
for Uigor. Some of the peacock officers who
have failed to come up to the scratch will
have to give place to men of brains and
stability. No more fooling-no more tri-
fling will be allowed. 'Old Abe is mad
his old Western danger is up, and l have
heard him use some pretty strong Ian
guage within few days past, in private
conversation.
"The mousing politicians, who came here
from the North, pretending to represent
the wishes of the whole world, are almost
annoying the life out of the President and
his cabinet officers by asking impossible
things of them, will now be tabooed. They
have kept the wheels of the war machine
locked long enough, and the President and
Halleck will now run the machine them
selves, and entirely on war principles.
"You folks in the West cannot possibly
feel more ehagrin at the discouraging sit
uation Of affairs at the present moment
than we do here, and the President feels
worse than any other man in this nation
possibly can. But we are full of courage
Are we going to be whipped to deathP
asked an Ohio Congressman of the Presi-
dent, yesterday. Whipped? exclaimed
the President Indignantly. There's no
such thing in the books-these Southern
rascals will find themselves buried under
a Northern avalanche sooner than you
think, and like the boy who was struck by
lightning, they won't know what allied
them. Never say whipped while there's
God in Israel This the President said
with great emphasis. He does not dream
of such thing as failure in this war. He
sees how great mistakes have been made,
and they will be remedied as far and as
soon as possible, and guarded against in
the future His great wish just now is
that he was a military man. If he was,
1 actually believe he would go forth and
lead our army to battle

IN THE Trenches BEFORE FORE MICHEL, KY, as
September II, 1862.
Ed. LEADER:-0n the ninth wrote you
from our picket outpost, on the Lexington
pike. That evening we Learned positively
that the advance guard of the rebel army
under General Kirby Smith, was eneamped
within seven and half miles of us. We
spent the night in watching but saw no
enemy. JusL as We were relieved on the
following morning, civilian arrived and
reported the enemy advancing in consid-
erable force. According to orders from
headquarters, Captain Tibbitts marched to
camp and reported to General Swayne.
The camp had been alarmed during the
night, and we found large number of
regiments, including the 1O8d, in the
trenches and formed in line of battle We
Immediately Joined the regiment in the
trenches before Fort Mitchell, which posi-
ton we still occupy, having slept on our
arms for two nights. Yesterday, picket
firing and skirmishing all along the line
served to define the rebel lines, which, op-
pOsite our works (the center) are only
about one and fourth miles distant, they
being posted in a heavy wood on either side
of the turnpike. A few Federal pickets
were wounded yesterday, and rumOr says
one or two killed, but am unable to give
any particulars.
A heavy rain yesterday and last night
has made much mud in the trenches,
and the men are soaked to the skin. Alto
gether we are far from comfortable this
morning, but keep up good spirits, as we
feel confident of our ability to repel any
attack
This morning we were called up at 81
o'clock, to prepare for an expected attack,
but no enemy has yet appeared at $50. ALI

stantly on the alert. Our gallant little

nothing escapes his observation. ComPa-
ny puts its immediate trust in Captain
Tibbitts, who, as the campaign advances,
developes still more the true character of q
soldier. Lieutenants Sergeant and ScO-
field are constantly with us, and do all in
their power for the comfort Of the men.
We feel that we are fortunate in securing
so good a corps of officers.
M-Picket firing is being resumed
to the right with considerable briskness,
and the suppOsition is that the enemy in

we have no fears for the result.

District to bury party feelings and nOmi-
nate a man for Congressional Representa-

at any cost, one who would strip every

Commodnre Vanderbilt.

Commodore Vanderbilt is a good sort of
man to have around. He is reputed to be
worth about twenty millions of dollars.
He has taken. a million and a quarter of
Government bonds since the rebellion
broke ouf and presented the Government
the steamship Vanderbilt, worth $500, GOO.
he has built Moravian church on Staten
Island, and supports the ministry there.
And now we hear of his building large
academical institution sdjoining the
church, to be endowed by him, for the free
education Of worthy young men and wo-
men. Such man, the Hartford Post
says, must take comfort handling money.

The son of Governor Robinson was ia
ken prisoner a few days ago on the Nash
vile railroad. He was in compa ny with a
lady, who had been placed under his
charge. The "highwaymen" stopped the
carriage, ordered him out, and after keep
ing him ten hours in close confinement,
agreed to let him 60 if he would take the
oath of allegiance to the bogus govern
ment His reply was " Gentlemen, don't t
wish to be personally offensive in this mat
ter, but am native born Kentuckian,
and beg leave to call your attention to
the fact that I'll see you I'D first, and
then I wouldn't do il" After a little con-
sultatiOn, they agreed to let him come
home. Mr.. Robinson belongs to the oath

know this or they would probably have
detained him longer.

Onlu SICK ana W OuMueu E0l0lefas
A NJ. Gangewer, Secretary of the Ohio
Relief Association at Washington, writes
that most of the men are doing well, and
were patient and cheerful under their suf-
ferings. The association is doing what it
can to relieve them. 1t takes all kinds of
people to make world, and everybody is
not as reasonable as might be- Some of
the soldiers seem to think that the associ-
alton Will supply them with all they want,
whatever it may be. One of the Ohio boys
who was sent to the Rhode Island Hospi-
tails, and who describes himself as Sap
preaching convalescence, states his wants
as follows; one wrapper, one pair slip
pers, one bottle spiced blackberry wine,
two cans peaches, two cans tomatoes, two
bottles blackberry jelly, two bottles currant
jelly, two bottles peach jelly, two cans
concrete milk, two cans pears, two cans
cherries, one bottle mustard, one bottle
Of sherry and one of some other medical
wine, and anything else you choose to
send BGr'A A few dollars in money" In
the same letter was enclosed a similar list
Of wants from another Ohio soldier, except
that he did not ask for money. Any one
in reading their list of wants will come to
the conclusion that though they may have
been sick, they are getting better decided
ly; or, it may be that they intend to open
q grocery.
