sgBr The Clark County Democrat, whose
editor was delegate to the 9Th ofJanuary
Convention, thus pays its respects to the
principal orator of that body
In the absence of the Committee on
Resolutions, the notorious John G.. Davis
took the stand and bored the Convention
at least the respectable portion of it-for
two long hours with one of the most pros
criptive, illogical and disgraceful harangues
ever inflicted upon a public assembly We
will not insult our readers with even
synopsis of. it. Suffice it to say, it was an
insult to the intelligence and good sense of
the audience; disgrace to the party he
professed to represent, and, at the same
time, so vilely misrepresented, and eharac--
teristic of the man who SO lately shame
fully betrayed his own party by going De
fore regular Democratic Convention in the
Seventh District as candidate for Congress
and, after failing to obtain the nomination.
bolted the ticket and was elected by the
abolition vote. Characteristic of the man
who, when a member of Congress, endeav-
ored to sell out to the Abolitionists for the
position of Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. This is the man that occupied
all the time of the Convention until after
the Committee on Resolutions came in with
their report, rendering it out of the ques-
ton for any Democratic Speaker present to
address the Convention.

Columbus.

/ Soldiers who have recently reconnoitred
i in the vicinity of Columbus, say that for sew
/ eral miles around the place the timber has
/ been felled, top outward, and the limbs cut
| on and pointed so as to stand out against q
charging column like so many bayonets.
Nearer the rebel camp-ground are numer-
GUS rifle pits and heavy stockades, and every
approach is guarded by guns of very heavy
caiIbre. An advance upon the place from
the rear, therefore, would be attended bv
great slaughter. The rebels have had time
to provide against attack from that quarter
and have improved it. We have no doubt
from all we can learn, that landing Of
troops directly in Columbus, from transports
under the cover of our gunboats, would be
attended with less loss of life than would a
passage into the city from the rear. Per-
sons who claim to be advised in the premi-
ses say that the shower of shell that our
hotilfa will throw into Columbus, must at
once drive the infantry back from the river,
and that the exposed condition of the hat
teries is such thatthey certainly cannot hold
out successfully against days cannonad-
ing Silence the batteries, which our gun
boats must do to take the place, and what
Is to prevent the approach of transports
When Bowling Green falls into the hands
OF Buell., Columbus can be safely taken by
the Federals by the occupation of Union
City and New Madrid. Our troops at these
points could effectually cut off the rebel
supplies, and in less than two weeks compel
a surrender. In ADVANCE of a success at
Bowling Green, the occupation of Union
City would be perilous, as Buckner's and
Folks columns might surround our forces
there, and turn the tables on them. Occu- |
Ply Union City, and five thousand men can
drive JEFF, Thompson out of New Madrid |
and hold it.
The supplies at Columbus are received
altogether by the Ohio and Mobile railroad,
and the Mississippi river, from Memphis. |
These channels of communication under |
our control, the Columbus army could be |
conquered without bloodshed.

Bl5~ The Republican organ is very much
dissatisfied with the Democratic State Con-
vention, for its refusal, as it charges, to en-
dorse Senator Douglas and Ex-Governor
Wright and failure to notice in the official
proceedings a resolution to that effect The
gentleman who offered the resolution with
drew it himself a0hen he found the Congen-
ton 1oas i'adisposed to consider mere personal
endorsement for political effect Indiana
Sentinel
We stated last week that a resolution re-
ferring to the lamented Douglas was hooted
down in the Convention, and as it was de-
MED by some, we thought we might have
been3imposed on, but the Sentinel confirms
the fact of its introduction in the foregoing
extract and its having been left out OF the
published proceedings, Princeton Clarion.

Effects of the Victory at Somerset,
kentucky.

The New York Post in commenting upon
the recent victory at Mil Spring, where
zollicoffer was routed and killed, says that
sc this nation can be convinced that this
stroke is but the preliminary to a succession
of blows ); that our Cabinet and Generals
are terribly in earnest that no compromise
or parley will be suffered until the arms of
our brave men have beaten the eonceit out
of the arrogant noodles of the slave drivers,
then there viii be no want of money, no
want of men, and nc division of sentiment,
even as to slavery or any other question.
The war ITSELF vigorously prosecuted, will
settle all troubles, whether in the Treasury,
IN Congress-. in the camps or in foreign
councils Success is the most convincing
logic and the most persuasive eloquence that
can be addressed eitheEite the North, the
South-or to- Europe. It wild .un1oose the
pockets of the money-holders; it will cheer
the hearts of the masses whose brothers and
sons are in the field; it will compel the re-
spect of our foes and it will defeat the
Vaccinations of their agents abroad. John
Bull will see a nearer road to his cotton
through our victories than his own doubt
ful interpretations Louis Napoleon will not |
undertake to cut knot that we have al
ready united; and the g reconstruction - of /
the Union, when it comes, will be best ad- |
l0sted for the interests of freedom after the |
armies of freedom shall have raised their |
flags over the stolen fortresses /
and all the recreant cities of the land

A STARTLING SrATEMENT-The Chicago
Tribune publishes the following paragraph
editorially:
We have before us three cartridges
brought from Annapolis by friend. They
are portion of the ammunition for Enfield
rifles served out to Burnsides forces for the
great expedition. To the eye they are all
alike in appearance, and the Slight differ
ence in weight could not Instantly be de-
tected. But the difference is that one of
the three contains not a particle Of ponder
Il prominent officer of the expedition told
our informant that this was about the pro-
portion throughout the entire lot of Enfield
cartridges - one-thiId of them carefully
put up without powder. Now, here is
a case for investigation. Is it fraud, or
treachery, that seeks to palm off upon our
brave troops, on the eve of an expedition,
sham cartridges? Let US have an explana-
ton of the affair, Secretary Stanton.

BIS The Roekport Democrat abuses the
New Albany Ledger for saying that the
Southern part of Indiana was very thinIy
represented at the Indianapolis Convention.
The editor of that print was the only repre-
sentative from Spencer county, which was
entitled TO seven or eight delegates
He is the same editor who opposed the
entire Democratic ticket from Congress
man down to Coroner a very little time
age-the same VINO got up detestable and
Nillainous forgery to defeat Democratic
candidate for the State Senate 1t the very
last election for Senator in his county-a
forgery winch we were called upon to ex-.
pose and denounce. Such an editor is a
very proper person to denounce the New
Albany Ledger and impeach its Democracy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24th.-The following
has been issued by the War Department
This department recognizes as it's first
duty to take measures for IKE relief of the
brave men, who imperilled their lives in the
military service of the government, and are
now prisoners and captives. 1t is therefore
ordered that two Commissioners be appoint
ed to visit the city of Richmond, Virginia,
and wherever else prisoners of the United
States army be held and then take such
measures as may be needful to promote the
wants and contribute to the comfort of the
prisoners, at the expense of the United
States, to such extent as may be permitted
by the authorities under whom the prisoners
are held. EDWIN M. STANTON,
"a aogd Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25--Brigadier Gen.
G. W Sherman, in a communication to the
NatioLal lntelligencer, deems it due to the
interest of the public service to publicly
proclaim the utter falsity of the statement
made in several journals of the country, re-
peatedly brought to bis notice, that a pro-
jected plan for the continuance of the expe-
dition was abandoned in consequence OF a
disagreement or misunderstanding between
Commodore Dupont and himself He says
the most friendly and cordial feelings, and
entire harmony of action, have always ex-
listed between them.
To-day being devoted by the Secretary
of War, for business with members of Con-
gress, a very large number of them are
availing themselves of this arrangement.

fresh supply from Boston, and found the
wholesale price five cents yard more than
it had retailed for. A trader in the suburbs
of this city came off as badly with tea. Be-
fere he heard of advanced prices he sold out
at fifty cents pound, and, to replenish his
stock, was forced to pay seveuty-fve cents
for the same quality.

WASHINGTON, January 24.-The under
signed committee, appointed by the SigeI
Mass Meetings, held on the 10th and 18th
inst, in New York and Brooklyn, in order
to present these unanimously accepted reso-
lutions to his Excellency, the President,
hereby report that his Excellency, the Presi-
dent has honored us this morning by an
audience; and after the reading and pre-
sentation of the resolutions, we have re-
ceived the following reply:
"Neither the original resignation of Gen.
Sigel nor any official dispatches from the
Commander-in-chief of the army of Mis-
souri, have been received in regard to it by
the President as yet and all the informa-
ton the President so far is in possession of,
has been gathered from the daily journals
However, being DESTROYS to retain in the
service of the United States SO eminent an
officer as Gen. Sigel, whom none could es-
TEEN higher than his Exeellency, he had
already before been informed of the petit
tions and resolutions of the citizens of Ger
man birth, and instituted inquiries, with a
view to redress any wrong which may have
been done to Gen. Sigel."
AT the same time the President assured
US of his determination, that while he should
decline the acceptance of Gen. SigePs resig-
nation. he intended to give him a command
in or out Of Missouri, in accordance with
his established abilities. The interests of
the service did not demand an addition to
the number Of Major Generals of the army,
but as soon as such necessity should exist,
the claims of Gen. Sigel should be consid-
cred as among the first in order.
The President further remarked that since
Sigel had been appointed a Brigadier GEN
eral nothing had transpired to diminish his
exalted opinion of the eminent talent and
capability of Gen. Sigel, but, on the con-
trary, all ascertained facts had combined to
confirm the same in every manner possible
His excellency, the President, took further
occasion to express his sincere satisfaction
with the patriotism shown by the adoeted
citizens Of German birth, during this unho-
~ rebellion, and particularly acknowledged
the so well known and meritorious services
of General Franz Sigel.
Signed by the Committee.
The Senate confirmed Judge Swain as
Judge of the Supreme Cour., and P. H..
Watson as Assistant Secretary of War
The House Committee on Commerce has
before them the question of reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Great Britain.
