she was able to obtain there only $50 guns, and
these were all the arms she took back on her
return. The New Orleans militia, therefore,
are not yet supplied with arms.
The rebels have Withdrawn their pickets from
the Ocoquan, about 20 miles from Alexandria.
A rumor at Cairo that Columbus had surren-

Dispatches have been received at the Navy
Department from Flag-oficer Dupont, dated

A Big Haul!

The rebels made big thing out of
the surrender of Harper's Ferry. They
were out of provisions, out of ammuni-
tion, whipped, dlspirited, demoralized,
surrounded and helpless. So said the
official dispatches of our commander,
and they were, no doubt, true. By the
surrender they got, as it now toots up,
fourteen thousand Union prisoners, with
all their arms and accouterments, about
one hundred cannon, one hundred tuns
of the very best powder, a very large
amount of Commissary stores, and teams
enough to haul away the spoils, supply
ing all their wants and enabling them
to recruit their strength, after crossing
the Potomac under an armistice, granted
for the ostensible purpose of burying
their dead

Compliment to Pomeroy.

A soldier sends US an article, cut from
some paper which is not named, and we
cannot, therefore, give the proper credit,
desrcibing the retreat of Col. Light
burn, from Charleston. We have room
only for so much of the article as refers
to our town. The writer says:
"At this point, however, we have to
pause, having no words at our command
in the English vocabulary, no rhetoric,
poetry, or figure of speech, by which to
convey to the reader the almost inesti-
mable blessings we received and enjoyed
at the hand of benefcent and patriotic
ladies and gentlemen-we mean the la
dies and gentlemen of Pomeroy. 1t
was there that the way worn soldier en-
tered an asylum, heven Of momentary
rest, joy and gladness. Upon every
street, at every corner, door and avenue,
were strewed in rich abundance with
everything the heart could wish to in
vigorate, nourlsh and strengthen the
physical and inner man. The ladies,
more especially, are called upon to ac-
cept tender of our thanks and kind re-
CARDS. God bless them, we love them.
Their sparkling eyes and smiling lips
eclipse the sun bright venus.

1t is not an unreasonable one, and we

1t is this: We desire each one of you,

hour in looking over your neighbor-
hood, and noting in your mind every
man of your acquaintance whose loyalty
is suspected, and consider how he will

COnsOling,

The Boston Courier, an intensly pro-
slavery partisan paper, after denouncing
the Presidents proclamation in the
usual style of the party organs, consoles
his followers with the assurance that
slavery will be maintained in the country
in any possible event. Whether the
Union is saved or lost; whether we break
up into one or ten divisions; whether
the war is suppressed speadily or lasts
for years, slavery must be sustained. 1t
concludes its article in these words -
ain fine, Notwithstanding any mum Der
or species of proclamations, we rest our
true Union faith upon these following
plain propositions: If the rebellion is
speedily brought to close, slavery in
the States will remain undisturbed.-
If the war proceeds through Mr.. Lin
coins administration, slavery will re-
main equally undisturbed. IF sepa-
ration of the States should be the result,
then certainly it will continue undis-
turb ed"
Could fanaticisin go beyond this? The
Courier "rests its Union tath," upon the
sole idea that human bondage is to be
preserved, under any and all circum :
stances

Our County Ticket.

We have not said anything in the
Telegraph in reference to the county
tickets, for the reason that we have not
deemed it necessary. The candidates
on the Union ticket are all we'll known
to the people, who know them to be true
and loyal men, in addition to their we'll
known capacity for their several sta
tions, and their perfect integrity of
character AS they will be elected, of
course, there is no use to make com
parison with the party ticket, which is
run in opposition.

Richmond and other cities, at forty cents
q pound, while it was not to be had in the
country at any price. 1t is now selling

The capture Of the salt, and the

can well be imagined. But we conf

joicing is about over. The new recruits

army that will be perfectly irresistible.
With this force in the field, nothing
less than general conspiracy among
our own military chiefs to sacrifice
these men, and betray their country.
can prevent the speedy overthrow of the
rebels. The dismissal Of some of the
subordinate officers, for their open com
plicity with the rebels, is hopeful sign
and gives promise that their superior'
will be attended to after while.

the conquest may be made in sixty days
Let US hope it will be accomplished.

Is, that we have won victory at Corinth
as it will be seen by the official report
of the battle, and are getting "a good
ready" to gain final triumph. We
believe that the coming week wiU bring
startling news. True, we have said so
every week for a month. And we did
believe it, too. But in spite of all our
