We are glad the bagged rebeli is in such
\ good humor. He evidently feels a great
deal more comfortable now than he has felt
for many months, and hence, from being
sulen and merose, he actually undertakes
to laugh and jest. Perhaps he experiences
a sense OF relief on account of being quar-
tered ir a safe retreat where hostile bayo-
nets gleam not nor hostile bullets sing and
whistle, and yet how he can manage 10 en-
ploy his iime wilhosI wea ariness where there
are no bridges or locks and dams 10 blow

seize and confsca!e, 10 horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs TO steal. is really more .hau we
can conceive. We hope he will enlighten
Us upon this point in his next epistle. By
the way, we are not surprised at his having
carefully cut out the figure of the American
Eagle that was stamped upon the corner of
the sheet we have received from him. No
doubt he regards that terrible bird with
dread and horror, almost fearing that even
a paper eagle may pick his rebel eyes
ont.
We are glad that The big rebel, in subscri-
bing for The Journal, has had judgement
enough 70 send us good Uaion money in
stead oil the rebel shinplassers he has SO Of
ten forced upon as good Union men as our
selves Il seems that he avowedly sob
scribes for our paper because he thinks il
surpasses all others in misrepresentation -
Now if he has such delight in merely
reading faIsehoods how deep and keen must
be his rapture in telling them. Beyond all
doubt, his life must have been one OF ex-
qnisi,e enjoyment But we cannot because
he is cooped np and can no longer exercise
his vandalism u pon other noble aud useful
public works, permit him, nnEe6nked, to at
tional safety, that noble lock and dan in
the stream of political intelligence, that
double.Irack railroad tor the promotion OF
the great interests OF the couatry, the Lou
isvile Journal. Accustomed 10 rob and
steal with mpunily, he yet must not be al
lowed to steal the Journals character, al

truce, propose TO move Immediately upon
his works" We suppose he will pro-
nounce our course 'ungenerous' and "un-
chivalrous,n y but we can't help that.
If our distinguished correspondent, as
the end and upshot of all his reasonable
, deeds, shall uadergo. on his emerging from
Fort Warren, the fate of those that it is said

us ticket of invitation to The interesting
little entertainment. If he shall think prop.

fully pay him back the two dollars he now
sends Us. Ah,i he had come to Louisville
last fall as he intended, and caught ns, we
should have been dangling spectacle for
his eyes instead of living TO anticipate his

well, and that the dinners he eats in Forl
+ Warren lie more lightly upon his stomach
, than the famous ones he didn't eat here
, We wonld kindly suggest TO him, that, if be
has any time TO spare from the reading ol
The Louisville Journal and from repenting
, of his sins, he might devote it 10 carrying
on and cousumma,ing the negotiations
which at the time he occupied Bowling

; running OF the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road.
