waking UP.

WAsHNGTog, June 8.
The summary action Of Governor Stanley
bas opened new slavery discussion. IL 10
understood that The President and the Cab
met have united IN the determination 70 give
no quarter to secession slave owners.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The House adopted
resolutions that the army Of the United
States in r bel States should be subsisted &,
as far as practicable, upon the property Of
Rebels
These two dispatches are shooting
streaks Of light piercing through the
clouds which cover the political sky at
Washington. We have advocated and
urged this policy from the first as the
only one which would cripple the rebels.
The persuasive policy, pursued hitherto,
has tended in some cases to make the
burden and inconvenience of war fall
more heavily on loyal men than on reb-
els, and in all other cases TO place them
on the same footing. We hope that the
last fugitive has been restored to a rebel
master. Rebel masters left or tried to
leave the Government to get their rights,
and now let them get their rights without
the help of the Government. We hope
that no fugitive, after the war is ended,
will ever be returned to a traitor who
has attempted to destroy the Union
Such men have outlawed themselves.
What right have they to claim the guar
antees of a Constitution which they
have attempted to destroy by armed vio
lence? The blow strikes just where it
ought to strike--upon the heads of the
arrogant, domineering, self conceited ar
istocracy, whose wealth has hitherto
compensated for the lack of principle
and brains. 1t will tend greatly to de-
grade socially, and annihilate the inhu-
ence of those detestable cliques which
have hitherto cursed the beautiful South
with their leaden incubus, and retarded
its population and development Let
such Oligarchists feel in the bitterness of
their hearts that their political power is
gone forever, so far as it rested upon what
their rebel Vice President calls "the
chief corner stone of the Southern Con-
federacy." These men have been plot
ting treason for thirty years, by their
avowal, and attempted to execute it SO
soon as they were deprived of their long
held monopoly of power.
The second dispatch is still better.
1t will tell terribly and fatally on the
monied power of the rebellion. Let
our soldiers be fed on the pork, mutton
and beef, and be warmed with the fuel
grown on the farms of rebel owners, and
teams and cavalry horses be furnished
with provender from the same sources.
Let the burden of sustaining this unholy
and righteous war-unhOly on the part of
the rebels, and just on the part of the
Federal Government-fall on the shoul-
ders of the rebels exclusively. Let it
press upon them until the blood starts
from their pores, and they beg for mercy.
So long as clemency is extended and we
might say forced in some instances,
our malignant, intelligent, and influential
rebels, who sell their produce for large
prices to our army and then send the pro-
ceeds to JEFF. DAVIS or IsHAM G.. HARRIS,
so long will the rebellion continue.
Thank Heaven new era is beginning

southern Currency.

We predict that commerce will revive
very slowly at all the Southern ports.
The same difficulty will be met with in
Charleston, Richmond, New Orleans and
Memphis that merchants encounter here;
and that is the great and universal de-
probation of State currency. OF what
advantage is it, for example, to dealer
if he can sell any quantity of goods, if
the funds he receives in payment are at
from % to 30 per cent discount, and
cannot be used abroad at all 1t will
therefore be a great error to infer lack
of disposition to trade from the small
amount of goods sold. 1t results, as we
have shown, from necessity, and can be
cured by time alone.

MisbehevlOr Before the Enemy.

A general order just issued from head
quarters announces the dismissal from the
service of the United States of Second
Lieutenant Oliver Walton, of Company d,
LIST Massachusetts Volunteers, on the charge
of misbehavior before the enemy. Colonel
Cowdin, of the same regiment, was Presi.
dent of the courtemartial, which was con-
Vened by order of General Hooker. The
charge was cowardice and misbehavior be-
fore the enemy but the court martial neg
atived the charge of cowardice, but substi.
tuted the remainder. The fact of the case
is that on the 5th of May, at the battle of
Williamsburg, Lieutenant Walton left his
company, without permission, while lie bat.
tie was raging and went to the rear, and
remained absent till the next morning. The
accused pleaded not guilty. Gen. McCIel-
Ian, in confirming the finding of the court,
says:
"The proceedings in this case are con-
6rmed. The Major General Commanding,
cannot, however, appreciate the negative of
any part of the charge. The very witness
called by the prisoner, in his own defence,
testifes to his timidity and retreating under
fire. The sentence is too light. The pen.
pity for such conduct is Dedth."

Savage Engine.

The federal rams in the naval battle at
Memphis, were provided with companies OF
sharpshooters, who picked otfthe rebel gum
ners, and thus kept their guns silent while
the ram was running into the vessel. The
rebel boats were also provided with sharp.
shooters, but they, like the rebel gunners,
did not succeed in hitting anybody. When
the ram, Queen of the West was running
into one of the rebel gunboats, company

The Annual Financial budget.

Senator Fessenden estimates that the an.
Dual budget would be hereafter one hundred
and eighty millions of dollars, fifty millions
of which would be for permanent military
establishment of fifty thousand men. The
navy would require twenty-five millions a
year. An elaborate paper from military
source was published some time since show
ing that the expense of keeping up legi-
ment OF infantry of the regular army 10 the
time Of peace, was about halt million of
dollars year. Considering the state OF
things that must for years require MILL
tary occupation of the South, fifty millions
OF dollars on army account is not an over
estimate. But twenty-five millions for the
future aavy is altogether too low figure.
As the navy was before the war the appro~
priations were fifteen millions, more or less.
MIR. Fessenden's estimate of one hundred and
eighty millions year for government ex-
peDditures is not extravagant. Of this there
will be about fifty millions in the shape Of
interest ca the public debt, should it not ex >
coed one thousand million dollars.

The Toronto Gyo5s, under the head Of
. Waglike Rumors," says that reports are
current il many quarters in the Provinces
that $4,000 more troops are to be sent
from Great Britain to Canada. I'bo
Globe thinks that if this report be true, it
has some reference 10 the difficulties grow
ing out OF the steamers Emile st. Pierre
and Bermuda, the former having been re,
captured from American officers by the
British crew, and the latter captured by
our blockaaiog squadron while she was
RAINING, as is claimed, from one British COL
ony to another, but having contraband
goods on board, intended for and consigned
to the rebels. The Globe thinks and hopes
that these difficulties can be settled in the
same manner as was the Mason and Slidell
difficulty, and depricates the sending of any
more troops to Canada.

MIR. Everett's Lecture.

We believe it is the unanimous opinion
of the audience that MIR. EVERETT fully sus-
tanned the very high reputation be has
achieved as an orator, and that the lecture
justi6es the encomiums which have
been bestowed upon it in other cts
les. 1t commanded the undivided at.
tentiou of the audience, and many pas
sages were loudly applauded. The hall was
filled by intelligent and appreciative ladies
and gentlemen, some of whom came long
distance for the sole purpose OF hearing
the lecture.-Daily, 18th.

The First Minnesota.

In the account @! the battle of Fair

ciaL, it is said that G. Colonel Sulley's LIST
Minnesota, though delivering fire and re.
ceivipg it from the time of entering battle
until the enemy were repu!sed, lost but two
men killed and two wounded. This happy
result is DE to the skill of Colonel Suley,
who took advantage of the crest of the hill
TO cover his men," TIE Commercial also
says: The honors of the dy were won
by Germans brigsds and Kirbys battery.
1t was his fortune to bold the right of the
line. Had the fight opened GU Sunday
Burns would hare held the post of honor.
But Gormao sustained the position MOLLY.

they broke. Dana's 18th Michigan and Goth
Massachusetts, on .be left, won equal dis,

Among staff officers who were conspic.
uous in the fight, the following on General

Wonderful Marksme n.

One of the remarkable features of the
brilliant naval battle at Memphis is the fact
that not one of DIR gunboats received any
injury, although engaged with the rebel
gunboatsa at distance of less than half q
mile And it is an actual fact that the rebe
els fired at our gunboats at distance of
scarcely forty rods, and failed to hit them !!
We had heard of the rifieman who at that
distance could not hit barn door, but hith.
erto would have been willing to wage q
reasonable sum that even the most indiffer.
ent gunner could not fail to hit steamboat
at that distance. Thus unaccountably the
events of war upset previously established
ideas.

Munson, on Sunday evening last, wds.an
unusually large one. 1t was addressed

what il is 10 be valiant in the cause OF his
country.
There was very large turnout a: the
meeting in this village, on Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Hutchins, who had been
announced to speak, being too unwell to
attend, brief but appropriate and effective
speeches were made by Messrs. Thrasher,
Chapman, Tinker, OF Painesville, and
Williams. The Chairman, Mr. Wood.
bury, stated that Geauga's quota for the
l05th Regiment was full, and that persons
wishing 10 enlist could Go so only in the
old Regiments. Before the meeting ad
iourned, three hearty cheers werv given
