More Cheering.

It now looks as though the rebellion is
about TO feel the full force Of the gigantic
preparations which have Sc long been pre-,
pairing for its especial benefit. The news
for the past week has been of a stirring kind
and favorable to the Union cause. The cap.
ture Of TT. Henry, an account Of which may
be found in this paper, is an event Of great
magnitude to us. An exchange thus de.
scribes its Importance as stragetic point:
g Fort Henry is situated in Tennessee, on
the East bank of the Tennessee River, near
the State line of Kentucky and Tennessee,
and on the railroad from Memphis to Bow.
ling Green, sixty-fve miles from Nashville,
the capital of Tennessec--ninety miles from
Bowling Green, and about sixty miles from
Columbus. 1t is the grand centre of rail.
road communication and is easily reinforced
by the rebels from Columbus, Bowling Green
and Nashville, by railroad g.. .. .... .
Besides this, Fort Donelson, on the Cum
berand River, and about twelve miles from
Fort Henry has probably ere this been at
tackled and captured. At last accounts Burn
sides Expedition was ready to make an at
tack on Roanoke Island, which is said to be
defended by $4,000 men, commanded by
Gen. Wise. An expedition has sailed from
Port Royal to attack Savannah. Gen. But
Ter sailed last week with a division of 10000
men, probably to operate at the mouth of the
Mississippi. .... ... ...... .fr.t....
We call all this cheering news because it
indicates that the time has come, FOR which
we have all been so anxiously looking, when
forward movements will be in order, and
quick, decisive blows struck at rebellion from
all quarters. The attitude of foreign powers,
the impotence of our own people and the
rapid manner in which the national treasury
is being exhausted, all combine to render it
necessary that there be no more dilly daily
ing, but that the rebellion must be crushed
right speedily if done at all. Already is the
press beginning to talk in the manner which
precipitatcd upon us the Bull Run affair.
Then we were not ready for offensive opera
tons, but it seems as though we ought to be
now, if we ever intend to be. We are not
among those who clamor and howl against
Mcclellan for his apparent inaction. We be-
lieve he has been playing a slow but sure
game, and that the hour Of his triumph is
near at hand When he does strike he will
deliver n blow from the effect Of which trea-
son will never recover. No one doubts but
that the President and the Cabinet desire to
see the rebellion quelled as speedily as pos
sible, and the perfect understanding which
exists between them and Gen. Mcclellan is
proof conclusive to us that his plans are I'M
derstooG and approved of 10y the Government.

A WESTERN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY
PApER.-This paper has been the leading
one of its class in the West, for twenty -one
years. 1t has ever been the farmers friend,
guarding closely the interests of the produ-
GERS of the great west, aiding the husband
man by timely hints and suggestions to
adopt the best systems of culture and avoid
the sad mistakes made by others. The pub
fishers seem to spare no labor or expense
necessary to make it reliable and interesting.
In its various departments, much attention
is given to General Farm operations, the
Orchard, the Garden and the Household
The Market intelligence is prepared with
evident care, and the digest of news contained
each week, keeps pace with the great events
of the day, giving such results ofmovements
and occurrences as really take place, without
giving currency to the many rumors made
to-day, to be contradictcd tomorrow.
The paper is made in very convenient
form for binding, being Of 16 pages, with in
dex in each number, and full index of the
whole volume every six months. It's value
to the producers is such, that theirs is the
loss, lift is not taken. .a

A Traitor Disposed of.

On the 9th inst. Jesse b. Bright, of Ind,
was expelled from the Senate of the United
States, on account of his reasonable scnti-
ments, and proven sympathy with the rebel
lion. Thirty 1.-TWO Senators voted for expelling
and fourteen against There being two
thirds majority in favor Of the motion, the
Vice President announced that Mr.. Bright
no longer represented the loyal State Of In
diana in the United States Senate. When
the result Of the vote was announced, the
gallery burst into applause. The IA who vo-
ted against expulsion, were James A. Bayard,
of Delaware Edgar Cowan, ofPennsylvania;
Ira Harris, of New York; Anthony Kennedy,
of Maryland; Milton S. Latham, of Califor-
MIA; Geo. w. Nesmith, Of Oregon; James
A. Pearce, of Maryland; Lazarus A. Powell,
of Kentucky; Henry NJ. Rice, of Minnesota ;
Willard Salisbury, of Delaware; John G.
TenEyck, of New Jersey; John r. Thomp-
son, of New Jersey; Waitman I. Wiley, of
Virginia.
| 1t is said that when the vote was announ-
ced, Bright bundled up the portable property
on his desk, turned his back upon the court
which had tried him, went to Secretary For
ney's room and drew his pay to the last cent,
and, with defiant stride, passed into the
Public Land Committee room, where his wife
awaited him. In her presence the actors
costume fell off. The ruined politician sat
down and, haggard and crushed, contempla,
ted the wreck he had made of his fortunes
The Senate is resolved to rid itself of all
treason aiders and abettors, and Bright's case
is the first step in that direction. The same
fate will likely befall some ofthe above names
recorded in the negative.

Another Victory!

LATER FROM BURNsIDE's EXPEDITION
We have not yet received the particulars
of the bombardment Of Roanoke Island, but
We are probably safe in saying that the Fed.
erals have been unqualificdly victorious. A
Fort Monroe letter dated the 9th states that
the firing ceased on that morning, when it
was supposed the rebels had surrendered
The same dispatch says: s. .,..ur.., ... ,,u
1t was rumored at Norfolk on the morning
of the 9th that eight regiments had been re-
Gently sent to Roanoke Island, and as there
was no chance of escape they are all probably
captured. ' 1888 +4l '-.l E i.@ XII IL
The rebels acknowledge that the only OBJ
staces Of importance to retard Burnside's
march upon Norfolk are swamps, marshes
and sickness.
we should be rcjoiccd to hear this news
confirmed, though we cannot but think it is
somewhat exaggerated. A great victory has
doubtless been won, bat we doubt there being
eight regiments of rebels captured.

The Burnside Expedition.

Most Of the vessels had got over the bar,
and about 5000 troops had been landed
Gov. Wise in command Of $4,000 troops,
daily reinforced, is at Nagshcad, on the outer
beach, and 800 on Roanoke Island, separated
by Roanoke Sound. A vigorous defence OF
their position is expected.
Gen. Burnside's force, which will be large,
will be landed under his own and flag officer
Goldsborough's guns, on the lower end and
side of the Island. The former will engage
the batteries on Croaton Sound, at short
range, and the latter will push his forces to
that part of the Island where the enemy will
be found. a gunboat will be sent on the
outside to shell Nagshead. -
LATER.-A flag of truce to Fortress Mon
roe brought the news of an engagement at
Roanoke Island. No particulars were learn
ed further than that two rebel gunboats had
been sunk by the Federals. Later news had
been received at Norfolk, but was not COM
municated. We shall await the particulars
with anxiety.

NATIONAL EXPENDITUREs.-ln the United
States Senate on the 9Th, Mr.. SHERMAN, OF
Ohio, said: A year ago we were physically
weak with no public debt, now we are physi-
cally strong, but financially weak. The total
amount of the expenses for next year, will
probably not be less than five hundred and
fifty millions Of dollars. This is greater
expense than ever was borne by any nation.
The highest expenditures of Great Britain
was nevcrfivc hundred million dollars year,
not even in the war with Napoleon. Mr..
Sherman here quoted from the London Post,
the government organ, which said that we,
the United States Government, were APP
preaching national bankruptcy. In his
judgement three propositions were needed
First, the prompt levy Of a tax of not less
than $l5o,ooo,oOO. "
Second, A careful revision of the law reg
ulating salaries and compensations.
Third, Rigid scrutiny into the disburse
ment of all public funds, and prompt punish
ment of every officer taking money or allow
ing others to take it for property in the ser
vice, of which the Government does not re
ceive benefit.

TROUBLE WITH FRANCE APPREuENDED.-
The Senate was startled the other day by in
formation from France received by private
letters averring that Napoleon would recog.
nizc the South, and break the blockade, fix
ing January 9th as the day. A letter from
Thurlow Weed expresses apprehension thai
Napoleon will announce that policy in ad
dressing the Chamber on the 25th. The
French Minister at Washington, however
says that he has received no official intima
ton to that effect. .

A Hard Flint.

In the Iowa Legislature. on the 30th ult.
one Flint, who he is, or where he's from we
do not know, much less care introduced in
the House bill for an act to regulate the
settlement Of negroes and mulattoes in the
State of Iowa. The bill provides that no
| negro or mulatto shall be allowed to settle in
this State without bringing satisfactory GER
tificate of his freedom, and filing with the
Board of Supervisors bond of $500 for good
behavior; that any negro or mulatto failing
to comply with such regulation shall be hired
out to the highest bidder for the benefit of
the county; that any citizen haftoring such
person shall be subject to heavy tine; and
that shareholders shall have the right Of tran
sit across the State for their slaves.
We did not believe that there was man
in the Iowa Legislature who was in favor of
lcgslating for the benefit Of slavery until we
saw the above in the minutes but it seems
that this Flint is in favor of making Iowa a
slave State. Every negro in the State who
cannot produce satisfactory certificate Of
freedom is to be enslayed in the free State of
Iowa. Any person who shall give employ.
ment or bestow charity upon negro who
cannot prove his freedom in black and white,
is to be subjected to heavy fine, and all
shareholders shall nave the right of transit
across the State for their slaves. sa-se
This Flint should go South where he evil
IDENTITY belongs, instead Of standing up in the
Legislature to insult the common sense of
the State. We have no doubt but that this
man would vote, if he had the opportunity,
to make Iowa slave State. He is opposed
to having free blacks in the State, but does
not care how many enslaved blacks there
arc. Hewould allow shareholders to come into
the State with their slaves, and have the laws
protect him in holding his human chattcls
lie would allow shareholders to call the roll
Of their slaves within the shadow of our State
Capitol, and itwould no doubt be refreshing
sight to this delectable law-maker to see a
negro or two logged every morning, and
perhaps he would like to assist merely for a
little exercise before breakfast Flint would
prostitute the power of the State to throw
every safeguard possible around the "pecu-
liar institution and to place every obstacle
possible in the way of freedom. Flint de-
serves Brigadier- Gencralship in the rebel
army. The constituency whom he disgraces
have our deepest sympathy, and We'll war
rant he is serving his last term in the Iowa
Legislature. We are happy to be able to
state that the "Flint's folly" was indefinite
ly postponed by humping majority.
Flint, your spark flashed in the pan, and
nobody but yourself is hurt. ..
