Another Victim of the Rebellion.

Elias Curtis. q member Of company D.,
9th Indiana Regiment, died m the Hospi-
tai at Mound City. On Tuesday the 18th
inst. from wound received at the battle
Of Shiloh. For some time after young
Curtis received his wound, his friends had
strong hopes of bis recovery. but his phys
icsl system was so Frustrated by suffering
that other diseases set in and hurried him
off into eternity. He was young man
highly respected by his fellow soldiers and
tho public at large. Thus another victim
hiss been offered upon the altar of slavery:
another life has been sacrificed that the
Government might not be destroyed BY
rebellious shareholders. And can it be
possible that we have men in our midst
who spend their time in apologizing for
such outlaws. while they are numbering
our sons and brothers? 1t would seem
impossible. but It is sorrowful fact that
triumphant smile passed over the features
of some of our citizens when il was first
reported that the federal forces bad almost
suffered defeat on that memorable battle
field.

how THEY DO IT.

Only few short years ago clustering
slave driver. whose acquaintance with the
good points of . negro slave wero much
better than with the ordinary forms Of So
ciety, threatened in the Senate Hall. ct
Washington. to "ere long call the roll Of
his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill
monument" Has he done il? Has any
other bullying trader in the flesh and blood
Of human beings accomplished what the
braggart Toombs has signslly failed in
doing? Not one. and they never will
while a northern arm. not already palsied
by sympathy with the unholy rebellion,
possesses the energy TO repcl such an in
suit and curse on Northern freemen. But
strange IL may seem. many of these
same blusterers are stopping near Bunker
Hill monument at this time. aud they and
not their slaves respond to the roll call.
but it is the commander of Fort Warren
that summons them. and they ere the hu-
initiated prisoners of an outraged and in
dignant people.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The Senate passed the Pacific Railroad
bill on the Goth with some essential modi-
fica,ions of the House Bill. The starting
point in the Territory Of Nebraska. at or
near the hundreth meridian west Of Green
wich. is undoubtedly intended 10 be To-.
Gated by the bill as Fort Kearney. This
will best accommodate the whole country,
being precisely in the track pointed out
by nature in the valley which the late SEN
ator Benton said the buffalo had selected
as the route for the great thoroughfsre of
the continent.
The Bill provides for three branches:
one commencing at Sioux City and anoth-
er at q point on the western boundary Of
Iowa. which will probably be at or near
Omaha City or the mouth of Platte river.
both these branches to be constructed By
the Union Pacific Company. which con-
structs the main road. The Kansas
branch. commencing opposite Kansas City.
to be constructed by q Kansas company.
The Hannibal d ST. Joseph road. author
lied to connect with the Ksnsss branch
The main road is to run by the most direct
and practicable route. to be subjected to
the approval OF the President.

JAMES HUGHES SPEECH.

We feel like apologizing to our readers
for occupying the whole Of our outside
psge in the publication of speech. and
yet doubt very much the propriety Of so
doing when we come to consider that the
majority Of our readers will be pleased to
read such q sound and sensible speech
from the lips of leading Democrat ofthe
State. We think ell good Union men will
rejoice to find that there are men in the
State of Indiana independent and honest
enough to sacrifice party affiliations when
their party are seeking to drag them into
the support Of the present rebellion. and
into a position of direct sntsgonism to
their country. The Bright Democratic
party Of this State are no more loyal than
the Ciaib jackson clique Of Missouri.-it
is opportunity and not disposition that is
wanting to enable them to throw off their
assumed garb OF Unionism-and when such
men as James Hughes. Henry Secrest. Jo-
seph A. Wright. Daniel Mace. and hun
dred others of the leading Democrats Of
the State. repudiate the secession Con-
sention Of the 8th Of last January. and lie
disloysl pro slavery platform. we may
well assume that its doom. IS . political
party. is sealed. and It's hopes Of blocking
the wheels of Government materially wes-
kensd. We ask . careful perusal Of the
speeckon the outside Of this paper.

DEMOCRATIC PERTINAoITY.

and tor the purpose of covering.up the traces
Of its hun,iliating defeat in that matter. 1t
still insists with wonderful pertinacity.
that Colfax cheated the Government. out
of II cents by ranking the correspondence.
What pitiful cbarge-trsipe eentsl Bot
with its usual mendacious disposition it
falsely represents even this triling matter.
for we understand that the correspondence
consisted Of but tuo letters. instead OF four

cents! which is much more than its milk.
and-water editorials usually worth to
its own party. But the Democrat, oil.
ways ready to misrepresent political OPP
ponent, entirely ignores the fact that Col
fax has always been ardently in favor of
abolishing the ranking privilege. Every
speech Colfax he's made. and every vote
he has cast on the subject. has been against
the exercise Of the Thanking privilege. and
for its sboliShment. AS Chairman of the
postal committee. he has acquitted himself
IN such a satisfactory manner that even
The Democratic papers (all that pretend to
be respectable and CONSISTENCY are forced TO
acknowledge his able and efficient services.
The Democrat says that Colfax has it in
his power to correct defects in our present
postal system. The sbsurdity of such a
statement we shall not spend time in cor
recting. as the most stupid child in the
community ought to know that Colfax's
power in amending bills is but little better
than that Of any other member. We
would like to know If the Democrat does
not receive the secession speeches which it
occasionally publishes. under the frank Of
some Democratic member OF Congress; and
we would also be pleased to know if the
same liberality which allows Congressman
60 send their letters free of expense is not
extended to newspaper exchanges. On
the same principle the editor Of the Dem
ocrat cheats the public every week out of
not less than fifty cents postage on its ex-
changes. Why don't the whining concern
pay Its own postage before it commences
growing sbous economy on the part of
others?

Copper Tubular Ligh!n ing Rod.
w ITH
SPIRAL FLAN GEES.

Munson's rod is the most complete protection
against disaster BY lightning evsr invented. Its
chief points OF superiority, are:
It's Great Conducting POwes.-Copper is
the best conductor of Electricity known, except
silver. 1t is eight times greater than iron.
Its Tubular Spiral Shape.--This form
gives the greatest strength at the smallest possible
cost. 1t is the shape of the "Fulgarte," the Wit
rifed tube formed by electricity when striking up
on sand, thus indicating the form required. Il is
better than solid copper rod four inches in cir
conference, and its cost 10 not quarter a. much
such q rod would be.
It's Great Amount Of Surface.-The sur
face only Of a conductor is used by electricity
This rod has a surface pa times greater than the
iron rod, and being times better conducting met
rods in their best condition, while its peculiar shape
adds SO per cent. at least, to this estimate.
IL Does not Rust.-Copper will not rust,
but will always re tain its power of conduction,
while an iron rod soon rusts, and then not only
looses its usefulness, but becomes absolutely dan
gcrous.
Its Perfect Joints.-The manner of con
Quoting the joints is such that perfect continuity
formed from and To the other Iron rods
connected by nuts, that in many cases are imper.
feet when first put on and the best of them become
disconnected by the action of the wind and xyda-

Its Gold Plated Point.-The point, besides
reaching upward has four prongs. all of which
sharp and bright, so as to receive the electrical
current from any direction. Ii is OF solid copper.
and plated with pure gold.
Its DurabiIity.-Thsr rod will remain good
