The senatorlal QueatIon.

Your pending Senatorial election attracts
great attention here The universal senti-
ment is that the choice should be given to
one who has legislative experience as well as
ability A new man, however great his tai
ent, must necessarily assume, at frst sub
ordinate position in the Senate. Leading
positions there are attained only through
long and laboriOus perseverance, and devotion
to business; and now in our present emer-
gency we need all the experience and devo-
ton and power that can be obtained in any
one individual. The South controlled this
Government so long, by continuing their able
men from term to term in Congress, while
the North pursued the opposite policy of fre-
quent change. We have an able representa-
tive, and one who stands among the FIRST on
the Senate floor, always ready, always col
lectsd, and powerful in influence through the
accumulated experience of years Of hard ser
vice. What great necessity calls for a
changef- Washington CorrsspOndsnes Of Ohio

rhe PronInImInr General.

The achievements of Gen. Halleck in the
way Of proclamations and otaers are tre.
mendous, and the fondness Of telegraphie
operators at st. Louis for sending to the
whole country every word Of all those issued,
is really touching. Gen. Halleck's military
Secretary must have the organ Of "Order "
wonderfully developed by this time, as
scarcely day passes without the telegraph
brings some voluminous General Order re-
garding local affairs, which the Eastern pub
lie have but the smallest possible interest in.
We fondly hope each days quota will be The
last but like the rszOr-strop man, he has
always "a few more left."

The rebels have evacuated Columbus, and
rstreatei to Fort Randolph, where, Of course,
socording to their usual Wanting style they
viii make "a desperate stand" The num-
Der Of the desperate stands which the rebels
have made in this war is remarkable, when
viewed IN the light Of the small mortality
Iisss'of our armies. Columbus was considered
one Of their strongest points. It Is situated
upon high bluff, f,OHsring superior advantages
for dsfoaos. Extensive earthworks were
erected upon the bluffs at the nOrihward OF
the town and also below the town, while
bsiisrlss were constructed immediately upon
The banks Of the river under the bluffs. Co
lumbus is Eve hundred and thirty miles from
New Orleans by rail, and about one thou
sand miles BY the river. Elsewhere we pub
lab tie statement Of a gentlemen who says
hs isii Columbus few days ago and knew
Of BeauTegard's saying that they must eVAc-
nate the town. The public viii be curious
70 know now what was the nature Of the
conference held between our officers and the
rebel officers at Columbus few days ago.
TIT was an armistice, We are sorry for it.
The rebels should not have been permitted,
Tit could be helped, to quietly svacuSts the
place, taking all their guns and stores. We
should hsvs been grstihsd to have seen the
town captured by the vslOr of our western
troops with unconditional surrender" the
only terms Of capitulatiOn.
Oolunbns is one step towards New Or
leans. It is reported that Fort Randolph
will next be held. Other reports have put the
paint Of defence ct "Island No. TO-" This
Island is situated about fifty miles below
Columbus ct the northern entrance Of the
Madrid Great Bend. Here the river makes
great detour 10 the west and back, leaving
narrow peninsula, fifteen or twenty miles
long and two or three wide, upon the eastern
bank. Just above the neck Of this peninsu
IA lies Island No. 10. But as the rebels have
failed 80 signally to defend their coasts, then
river cities and their Inland towns, we do moi
imagine they viii make very desperate
stand On an island.
Fort Randolph is about sixty miles above
Memphis It's situated upon the east bank
Of the Mississippi and the south branch o.
ths Estchez river, which smpties into tho
former between Forts Randolph and Wright
Fort Randolph has three tiers Of entrench-
nents and is very heavily armed. The
blufs here are thirty or forty feet above the
river and are well adapted for defence. Al
this point also there is-Or was, few Eeekl
sgo-a heavy chain extended across tie nv
eF to stop navigation.
Whistler there will really be any fght
north Of Memphis, can only be cODjeOtured.
Tbs rebels have shown such a decided pen
ahant for running away that they may con-
iinus the praetiee, but it is probably that 8
dsssncs VIII be made from behind the iortif-
cations ct Fort Randolph. But whether
dsfsndsd or not it will be taken, as Fort
Donslson was, and then ''On to Memphis aud

bill in Kentucky a synopsis Of Senator
OlAFks bin for the abolition Of slavery in
the District; the promotion Of soldier for
gallant cOuduct At Fort Donelson and other
matters. OF these, not one vas contradicted
by the Associated Press dispatches.
Now what does the Register mean BY such
sweeping assertions without any facts to bate
them upon. Out Of all these items Of news
furnished to the Cleveland Morning LEADER
in advance only one was cOntradicted, and
this only BY inference, because no official re.
port Of ithad been received at Washington.
All we ask Of cur newspaper heighbors is
common fairness and honesty, but whether
treated fairly or unfairly, cOurteOusly or dis
cOurteously, we shall still keep the people
advised OF important matters, hours or days
in advance of Jealous contemporaries.
We suspect the cause Of the appearance Of
the above in the Register was the constantly
increasing circulation of the LEADER upon
the railroads leading from Ssndusky south
ward.

Nearly every sensation item Of the special
dispatches to The papers of Saturday morn
ing, was expressly contradicted in the regu.
lar dispatches from Washington of the same
evening. This shows their surprising relia-
hility. Whatever complaints may be made
inrsfsrence to the uncertainty Of regular re-
ports, they are infinitely more reliable than
the manufactured sensations Of the specials.
--Sazdsly Register.
An We have ever asked Of the public is
fair comparison between the Morning LEADER
and other papers Of Northern Ohio, in the
matter Of news. To ensure to our readers
the earliest possible information from all
points, We procure special dispatches from
Washington and Cairo. And just here we
may say that We pay for our telegraphic re-
poris moro than double tie GmOunt paid By the
too Other Cleveland papers and the San
d1skg Rsgister esmbiasd And yet we
furnish our paper as cheaply as they
But in doing this, we expect TO incur the i'll
wiz and opposition Of less enterprising
sheets, that are CALLED by seeing their dis
patches anticipated half q day or day by
the Morning LHADER. We are not surprised,
therefore, at the spirit Of the above, but what
We wish 70 caglsttentiOn to, is its utter want
Of fairness and truth. It says that ''nearly

Seeing the Prisoners Under DimoultIeu.


A young man in his anxiety to get sight
at the prisoners on Saturday, followed them,
fell to the rear OF the long line, and march
ed with them through the big gate into
Camp Norton. But his curiosity got the
better part Of his judgment, for while
marching with the prisoners he got mixed
up with them in such a manner that the
guards refused to let him go, and actually
held him a prisoner with the others until
Sunday. In vain did be persist that he was
a Union man, citizen of this place, and on
ly there out of motives of curiosity. They
would not believe his story, and he was
marched off to quarters. When rations
were served be was so rampageously mad
that he refused to take his share or eat any
thing. But when right came upon him he
quieted down and bunked with a secesh. In
the morning he succeeded in getting the ear
Of the officers of the post and through the
influence Of some leading citizens outside,
who vouched for the truth of his statements,
he was finally released. tf
The best part Of the joke is that the young
man had previously said that he despised
secessionists so heartily that he would not
speak to secesh prisoners, but would rather
slap their jaws. Yet he bunked with them
We are assured on excellent authority, that
the story is true in every particular. He
F0Ws he never will 60 into Camp Norton
again unless be has an official pass both in
and indianapolis Journal.

surreon-GeneraI yEeber.

DR.. G. G. E. Weber, Surgeon. General of
Ohio, returned to his home in this city yes
terday, direct from the hospitals at Paducab,
Cairo, Smithland and St Louis. DR.. Weber
arrived at Fort Donelson on the Thursday
after the 6ght and took an active and lead
ing part in the care of the wounded. he
states that although the suferings of the
poor sick and wounded were terrible
though they had no cots, many Of them no
blankets, no hospital stores, nothing to eat
but the hard crackers and salt pork of the
quarter-master's department-yet they bore
their sufferings like true and noble heroes,
every one of them. With the raging fever
driving the blood through their veins at 100
or lao a minute, and with every muscle in
their shattered and bleeding limbs quiver-
ing with anguish, they would siII smile and
issbly shout at the rehearsal of our glorious
success and would cheer each other up with
prophecies of the valiant deeds they would
yet do-if they ever got well.
The wounded are now all completely cared
for, and are in good hands.

Bolivar never was particularly noted for
beauty of construction or location. Still
less, when The Inhabitants had left was It en-
titled to consideration.
The houses were occupied by our soldiers
Immediately upon their arrival, and although
In many cases the windows and doors bad
been destroyed, they afforded better prOtec-
ton than the thin canvas tents. Fires were
kindled in the fre-places, heaps Of wood
gathered from fences and frame structures
were collected. and in the evening the ra-
tions were distributed 70 men, who, however
tired and hungry, had at least roof over
their heads and cheerful blaze at their feet

ture had been left A story went the rounds
rather to the discredit Of Western Regi-
ment They were quartsred comfortably,
when (sO the story gOes) three of the men
undertook "a play national air upon very
valuable piano, using their feet, however, in
stead of their fingers. As a sequel, my in
formant states that the whole regiment was
compelled to turn out and take to their tents,
not being esteemed proper boarders for
houses having pianos. It must be said, for
the honor Of all concerned, that private pro-
perty has not been wantonly destroyed, and
that in all cases depredations have beer

sHEIIINa A RAnROAD TRAIN.

About ssventy-fve miles from Beltimore,
on the line Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, and on the north bank of the Poto-
mac river, is Berlin. It is small scattered
settlement of no particular Importance
While passing this place on Friday morning
last train was shelled by the rebels.
The track is laid close to the river bank,
which is nearly level. The opposite shore
well wooded, consists of a series of undula
ting emlnences. Down the valley, between
two of these, the enemy managed to bring q
gun, and, as freight train was on the way
from Sandy Hook to Baltimore, threw about
fifteen shell in rapid succession. Very few
of the missiles exploded and 10 injury was
done TO the cars, although one heavy iron
shell fell within fifty feet of the engine
The train was occupied only by the conduc-
tor and brakesmen, having conveyed a reg
iment 10 Sandy Hook, and being on the re-
turn.
The engineer put on the steam, but having
G great number of cars could not move very
rapidly. The affair was evidently intended
as piece of impudence, being within sight
of our pickets, and almost within hearing Of
Sandy Hook. The gun was brought down
through the narrow valley by a squad of
rebels, headed by one officer, vnd after the
train passed beyond its reach was withdrawn
and taken back into the forest
About two hours after this occurrence the
regular passenger train from Baltimore to
Harper's Ferry passed along, proceeding
cautiously and making no halt at Berlin
No signs Of the rebels were apparent and
there is no probability that the msneeuVrG
will be repeated. The river at the point
where this incident occurred is about one
third of mile in width, with rapid cur
rent. .

In the movement through Harper's Ferry.
many of the United States officers met with
a hospitable reception from citizens whom
they had previously met at Frederick. None
of the regiments halted for sufficient length
of time, however, to receive many courtesies,
but advanced by the road leading southwest
to Winchester.
A reference to the map will show the rela-
tive positions Of Hsrpers Ferry, Bolivar,
Oharlestown and Winchester The distance
from the Ferry, via Bolivar, to Charlestown,
is about ten miles, and to Winchester, thirty
two miles.
The roads on Thursday, were in excellent
order, the few preceding days having dried
the mud, and rendered the mountain soil ss
hard az the most impervious clay. No diff
Guilty was experienced on the advance, from
broken wagons, or horses houndering in seas
of mud. The March winds, by their drying
influence, were of the greatest service. Re
connoisanees were made by csvalry compa-
nies before the infantry reached Charles
town, but no enemy appeared, and not shot
was fred.
Shortly after the occupation of Charles
town, Gen. Mcclellan and staff made their
appearance, being greeted by the soldiers
with the most vooiferous cheers and the great
est enthusiasm. The party extended their
dents remained, not more than hali-dossn
males being visible, although women and
children were more abundant showing that
the enemy had faith in our willingness to
protect non-combatants.

the most effectual remedy which the medical

Hence il should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other afTcc-

in "impVify ofhe blood" is founded in truth,
