p6-CIRoULArE THE DocUMENrs.-W

b@.CIRoULATE THE DOcUMENTs.-We
publish In THE CHRONICLE this week the
great letter of Hon. Robert Dale Owen to
the President, Hon. George Bancroft let
ter, and Parson Brownlow' speech, and we
also re-publish Gen. SCOTS Vindication,
one Of the most important documents ever
presented to the American people.
We hope our Union friends will circulate
this paper among the opposition. There il
no use in loaniug the paper to real copper
head; but there are many thousands who
voted with the copperheads who honestly
believed they were doing right, and who
will desert them the moment they are con.
Vinced Of their error. Let such men see
the gospel pure and undefiled, as given oy
Gen. Scott, Robert Dale Owen, Parson
Brownlow, and George Bancroft, none Of
whom hnye ever been Republicans, and'ca
not be accused of "Abolitionism."

cincincinnati Market.-November a

Cincincinnati Market--N ovember 4.
Mess Pork was sold to fair extent at
$40 81. For one small lot $ll is said to
have been paid. A good demand is noticed
by some at $40 50 and yet a large lot is
said to be Offering at $40 so. From this
confusion OF the reports it would seem diff
ficult to arrive at the proper quotation, but
the sale at $40 rs, we take it, represents
the figures at which seller and buyer may
meet in handling good brands of city.
Bacon and bulk meats are neglected, and
quotations merely nominal.
Lard for delivery ahead, is offered at Ole.
There is not much demand at any thing
above 8c.
Red Wheat is dull at 95c. and White at
$l l0(Gl Is for prime and choice.
Corn remains firm Mt 40c for Shelled, and
42c for Ear.
Oats have a dragging market. New are
quoted down to 48c. and Old at 53c.
Green Hams are to be had at &c, but are
not in much request at that figure.
Hogs are sold at 81, SO and at S. to day.
The weather is again regarded by some who
have stock in the pens, as safe for killing,
and q considerable number were put upon
the hooks to day. There was also some
cutting of Hogs, which were slaughtered
yesterday. The figures quoted above are
the minimum of the market range, and al.
though packers are not very willing to ope-
rate at $3.50, the offerings at less than
$4,65 are light ''oi,l.5 ,'.

Treason i'm High Places.

The Washington Globe says that if the
war for the Union fails, cts failure will
probably be caused more by treason than
by force of arms. There is every reason TO
believe that the success of the rebellion
hitherto has been secured almost wholly by
reasonable communications from trusted
men in our own ranks, or employed in the
management OF military affairs. Many
such communications are known to have
been made, and many more are suspected
to have been made, ever since the begin
ming Of the war. Again and again the Con-
tederates have boosted of tkeir previous
knowledge Of all the movements OF our
armies; and many facts have proved their
boasts true. We have just learned most
astounding circumstance, which may well
make every patriots heart sink in dismav,
and almost in despair. An officer of hieh
character has informed US that to his knowl-
edge, on the day when The Pensacola ran
che gauntlet Of the rebel batteries, and be-
fore the usual hour for communicating the
couniersign Of the day to our p;ckets oppo-
site one Of these batteries, the rebel pi, kets
boastfully shouted the correct eoantersian
across the river, and added The Pensq,
cola is coming down to night" What
does this fact prove? It proves that the
4 osn.ersigns which are sent from the War
Department to our camps, are made known
10 the rebels by traitors in confidential posi-
lions in or near that Department, and that
other information in reference to conien,-
plated movements Of our naval forces. Is
likewise communicated TO the enemy =

partments, 50 as 10 save our country from

longer and rising, he said, with aA the ear
nestuess that could be expresses IN ds bold
and reSolutv features. Mr.. President il +
my duiy as your legal adviser to say that
you have no right TO give up the property
of the government. or abandon the soldiers

the course proposed by lhe secretary Of the
interior, it followed, is treason, and will in
volve you ard all concerned in ueason.
Such language had never before been head
in Buehauan's cabinet, and the men who
had so Icing ruled and bullied the president,
were surprised and enraged TO be thus re-
buked, Floyd and Thompson spraug TO
their feet with fierce, menacing gestures,
seeming about 10 assault Stanton. Mr..
Holt took step forward to the side of at
iorney general. The imbecile-president
implored them piteousiy to take their seats.
After few more bitter words the meeting
broke 2p. That was the last cabinet meet
ing on that exciting question in which Floyd
participated, Before another was called
all Washington was startled with rumor
of those gigantic frauds which have made
his name so infamous. At frs; he tried to
brazen it ont with his customary clustering
manner; but the next day the cabinet wait
ed long for his appearance. At last he
came the door opened, his resignation was
thrust into the room, and Floyed disappear

! II ever a crime deserved summary and ex'
treme Punishment, surely such base BE-
I irayal Of confidence as is shown by smell
acts should be most promptly and severely
visited with the laws leaviest penalties,
Whether prompted by love Of the rebellion,
or by brides offered by the enemy. or by a
mercenary wish to proloug tho war, and
I profit by plundering the Government and
the poor soldiers, such acknowledgement
a thousand-foll by the confidence reposed
I in the traitors merits everlas ing shame
and contempt, and should receive such pun
l ishmcnt--torture evrn-as viii make the
boldest forever shrink from following the
base example,
Such, indeed, are some Of the main OBJ
stacles with which the Government has
had 10 contend since the rebellion began.
And now we have news that the pilots at
Hatteras, to Burnside's expedition, proved
to be traitors and as consequence we
have lost several ships, and more than half
a million dollars Sill further, it is no o.
rious that hundreds of Government en-
ployecs in and around Washington, are Sc
cessionists and traitors, and it is passing
strange that many of these have been re-
tanned, even after their treason has been
fully proved.
Now there can be no possible doubt that
there are loyal men enough in whose hands
the country can be placed with safety, and
the Government should, in every Instance,
trust none who are not known to be thor
oughly loyal. There are great plenty of
such, and they ought at once to have the
places of all who have any symathy what
ever with secession.
Up to this time we have not dealt with
rebels with that severity which their crimes
deserve, and this is the reason we have made
no greater progress. Ssme are so eternal
ly +" conservative that they constantly hold
up tie Constitution between US and the reb-
els, and thus we are kept back, when the
fact is the war power is above the Consti-
tuition and all civil law. The time has al
ready come when we should exert and use
every power in our reach to crush out the
rebellion. Those who pettifog and stop
TO daily about echnicalities, are doing SER
vice forslhe traitors.
