The IIiHeFence.

We have always given the rebels credit
for sufficient Valor. Recent events lead US
to doubt whether We have not conceded
more than sufficient to them. At any rate,
their deeds are far behind their words.-
Look At the battle Of Roanoke. The rebels
were sntreuched with all the advantages
that position could afford them. The Rich
mOnd papers told us that their famous
company, the "BlueS," fought until all but
seven had been killed or wounded. Ii
turned ont that only seven were killed, and
that their fort was surrendered. The
whole number of rebels killed on the island
was only Mirtesn, aud yet all the forts and
cannon, the whole army, three thousand
stand of arms. seTenty,fiye tons of ammu-
milton, and large quantity of stores were
sarreudered into our hands. That surely
was not a very desperate defence. Just
contrast it with these words, which Gov.
Wise used At Richmond 10 public speech
last June-the same redoubtable Gov.
Wise who made so good time over the
beach road from NAgrs Head to Currituck: :
"If the enemy's guns reach further than
yours, reduce the distance, meet them foot
TO foot, eye TO eye, body to body, aud when
You strike y blow, strike home. Your
true blooded Yankee will never stand still
In the presence Of cold steel. Let yOuraim
therefore be to get into Close quarters, and
With n few decided vigorous movements,
always pushing forwards, never back, my
word for it, the soil of Virginia will be
swept of the Vandals who are now DOllut-
ing its atmosphere"
This was very brave talk at the time
sounded terrtble-but see what it amounted
TO in practice. It turns out that the YAM
KEGS are the parties whe have given battle
at close quarters, who use tue bayouet
when they get a good chance. And on
the other hand, it turns out that the Ex-
Governor and his fellows squirm as other
people under the application of cold steel.
We fancy that Europe will not very lavish
" praise the valor of men, who, after
losing only thirteen men, ran before
charged bayOnets, and surrendered such a
position dS that Of Roanoke. The differ
enoe between the Northern troops aud the
Southerniis that between men of deep
y
conviction, general Intelligence, calm, pa
tieut appreciation of liberty, and uueou-
Querable resolution. aud meu of heat, of
elrervescence, Of very limited intelligence
aud short endurance. The Northern troops
are the true Warriors of this contir emit
They are not 6raggarts-dO not delight ia
war as an OccppatiOn-but when they. are
in for it, they make it their occupation,
aud will die in thetr tracks or ,sacseed.
Like Mortimer the world oser, and in
every age, they are always tho material for
soldiers, and they always conquer. There
is Rot an instance where they have failed.
The course of conquest has ever been from
the North to tue South, and never, In u
SingIe case. from the South to tue North.

Prentice on Arbitrary Arrests.

The Louisville Journal has an article on
the case OF ex Marshal KANE, OF Baltimore,
to which we have already alluded. Though
conservative Border State sheet it takes
a sensible view of the case and the duties
OF the Government Instead OF lamentiDg
the suspension OF the writ of habeds corpus,
clamoring about "Bastiles," and the sort
of clap-trap in which such sheets as the
Chicago Times and Milwaukee Neos
abound, it says:
Here was leading, active, and very in
duentlal rebel engaged in rallying armed
meu to resist the passage OF U. s. troops
through Baltimore. To allow him and
others like him to proceed uuopposed in
their reasonable work would Itself have
been no better than treason. To alLoO
the operation Of the aorat Of habeas corpus
aoould haze been to permit Kane to proceed
aoi.h awpunaty IN his operations against
the G0Uernnaent. And If Kane's case had
been submitted to a jury, there would not
have been the remotest possibility of his
punishment, for there aoas so large pro-
portion Of Uiolent rebels among the popu-
lataon Of Baltimore, that no jury could
haze been found to render verdict against
rebel for any act Of treason, however
henlons,or however conclusive established.
The only alternative before the national
authorities was either to let Kane and bis
accomplices muster whatever armed forces
they pleased Tor the murder OF loyal troops
ard the practice of treason in all other
conceivable ways, or to take the response
bility OF thrustlng them by the strong arm
OF Executive power where they could do
mischief. And we don't believe that in
this case the Government chose the wrong
branch OF the alternative, tor Baltimore
was place, in which, at such crises as
then existed, the most vigorous entire
ment Of vigorous policy was absolutely
indispensable to the safety of the republic.
It E!anton Duncan and John Tompkins,
when one was parading his rebel regiment
through the streets Of Louisville, and the
other advertising for recruits at his rebel
recruiting station in our city, had been ar
| rested, and the operation Of the b. beas
| corpus been permitted, both of them would
at once have been discharged as guilty of
no offence, for Judge Monroe who would
have oticiated in the case, was bitter
rebel, who looked upon treason as loyalty
and soon afterwards fed to the Southern
Contederacy, and, if they had been indict-
ed and tried by Jury, We all know there
would have been no earthly chance of
their conviction, no matter what the proof
against them, for there was enough of
fierce treason IN cur city to render inry
trials for treason tue most utter mockery
on earth.

Volunteer Aid Fund.

The volunteers. and their families and
friends generally will be interested il the
following circular just issued by the Sec
rotary of State and State Treasurer:
To the Vices and Families Of Wisconsin
Volunteers:
Believing that many of you are re-
strained from sending in your applications
for the extra pay promised to you by the
State, under the impression that the mon
ey in the fund is exhausted, we deem it
proper to state to you the following facts ::
Farst.-In consequence of the neglect
on the part of the officers of some of the
regiments to make out the reports re-
quired By law, the families belonging to
these non-reporting regiments are unable
to draw the money due to them, and as
quite number of the regiments are de
linquent in their reports-some of them
never having even furnished the list OF
those entitled to extra pay--the money,
which in other circumstances would have
been paid to these families, remains in the
Treasury undrawn.
Second-We are informed by the Quar-
termaster General that arrangements have
been made by which claims against the
war fund, amounting in the aggregate to
over eighty thousand dollars, have been
paid direct by the Q. S. authorities. As the
State had made provision for the payment
of these claims it leaves large amount
that can be put to the credit of the Vol
unteer Aid Fund.
7hird.-Gov. Solomon has procured
from Washington, on account of advances
made by the State, some forty thousand
dollars more than had been calculated up,
Oh, thereby placing this amount in the
Treasury to be used in the payment of the
claims Of the families of the volunteers.
By reasoplof the facts above stated, the
money in the fund is still unexhausted
and We hope to be able to continue the
payment of all applications until some
time in January, and possibly longer.

Secretary of State.

RAyAGEs OF DIPTHERIA.-The following
from the GAINESVILLE Gazette, tells sad
story OF family bereavement and desoa-
ton:
DIED.-1n the town of La Prairie, on
the 10Th of November, John Cummings
sparrowk, aged % years; On the 18th, his
sister Rewey Catherine, aged II; on the

the 23d of the same month the Youngest
and only remaining brother, Charles Hen
ry Harrison. aged II.
All swept away within two weeks by
that most malignant disease, dIptheria, all
children of JOHN and Hannah Sparrowk.
What wreck of a once large aud unusual
ly healthy family. The grave swallowed
them up in moment
