HThe jackson Standard has q
long article rejecting pretty severely
on our citizens for the cool reception
given the jackson county militia. on
their arrival last Sunday week. to aid
in defence Of our town. We admit the
justice Of the Standards" remarks in
g great measure, but must take up the
cudgels in defence OF our citizens at
large. Very few of our working
men" knew anything Of their arrival
for hours after they were in town, and
many of them indeed, not until after
their departure. Our neighbor Of the
standard" should know, that in mill
tary affairs, he is the greatest General
who can keep matters hidden from the
enemy. The Genersl-in-chief Of the
militia, knew too well the effect Of CIV
ing publicity to the fact that five hun
dred men had been sent for to Jackson
county, and were then on their way to
Gallipolis. The excitement in our
community was up to the highest point,
without adding fuel to the fame by
giving Information which would at once
have set every woman in town to cook
ing. AID preparing for the hospitable
reception of our jackson county friends.
Besides, were we not waiting for Jen-
kins to come and be bagged? And did
not our General know perfectly well
that if the said jenkins got wind Of our
being so largely reinforced, he would
not walk into the trap we had SO nicely
arranged for him? OF course he did.
To argue anything else. would be to
prove that we had man at the head Of
our militia forces who "didn't know
beans" No, Mr.. Standard. The
whole trouble originated in the fact
that your forces were ignorant Of how
essentially necessary it is. in time OF
war, to withhold knowledge Of our con-
dition, from the enemy. So essential
was it deemed by our commander, that
admission to bis presence. even BY some
of your own officers, could only be had
BY leave Of the guard. who carefully
kept back all intruders at the point Of
the bayonet. This was a military ne
cessity, known only in times Of war
That your men should be fed and
lodged comfortably. was none OF his
business. Other and more pressing busi-
ness was on hand. Our citizens, having
no notice Of your arrival. should not be
blamed for not doing what they were
not hidden to do, and which. il they
had done, might have given the enemy
information that you were at hand,
ready and eager for the fray. As TO
our citisens "taking no interest in the
matter" &C., YOU are slightly mistaken.
In camp Hardscrabble. of course you
could know but little what our citizens
were dpsng: A1fow us to say the TttIe
you did get. was through their efforts
The military had other duties on hand.
These things will happen in the best
ordered communities. Besides, our
town was crowded with sick and wound
ed soldiers. on whom our women were,
as angels of mercy. waiting with the
greatest attention. We have fed much
larger bodies Of men since this war be-
gan, on very short notice, and stand
ready to do it again. But we must not
be fettered by any military regulation
as to quantity, quality, or anything
else. The next "big scare" comes of,
call around and see how we do up
things in Gallipolis as civilians.

Z~ Camp Hardscrabble was finally
broken up on Wednesday last and the
"milishia" dismissed to their homes
just in time to prevent their dismissing
themselves. The "horseback address"
of the B. G. on the previous evening
had proven too strong dose for good
Union men, who were forced against
their will to listen to sentiments, as
gratifying to certain members of the
"staff" as unpleasant to tie crowd who
were compelled at the point Of the bay
onet, to hear, and denied the privilege
of reply. We submit it to all candid
men, if it was not an outrage upon
common decency. That portion of our
citizens for whom it was designed, knew
nothing about it--and il they did. would
hardly have been allowed the privilege
Of coming into camp. 1t will hardly be
doubted, that il the militia had been
dismissed with leave to go home. ten
minutes before that speech was made,
scarcely a corporal's guard would have
remained to hear it. Yet 1900 men
were restrained of their liberty. massed
in solid squares. end instead Of being
drilled in military tactics, were "bored"
until sun-down with a bitter partisan
speech from their Brigadier General on
horseback. We were at first disposed to
treat the thing as capital joke in
tended only as a burlesque. but the Ian
guage Of the speaker soon convinced
as. that settled purpose to vilify and
abuse men fully his equals. was the de-
sign in view. How fully he succeeded.
was shown by the groans and Kisses
mingled wilhthe cheers amid which he
and his Union-loving staff rode off the
ground. Instead of citizens "sitting
in the shade" and disorganizing, or SOW
ing dissension among the "militia." a
little inquiry outside of the "staff"
would have furnished evidence, whence
came that feeling. Had the com man
ding officer been as careful to mingle
little among the people. as to keep his
headquarters guarded with bayonets.
he would have learned facts which are
patent to the eyes of everybody. He
may learn it hereafter. It avails but
little now to say that some who appear
ed on the staff were not members of it.
So much the worse. If not. then he
should at once have ordered them into
the ranks. But that would have been
degrading. So they were suffered to
ride in company, and of course be
counted in the number. 1t is not de-
MED that the militia were dissatisfied.
But it was not owing to any means u.s.
eI by those who "sit in the shade. -
The people themselves best can tell.
To them we leave it with perfect conf
dence. They well know the untiring
efforts Of Messrs. W. H. Langley, Del
etombe, Black, CIeuzet, and others al
luded to, as those "who sit in the shade"
We say they well know that these men
have contributed largely Of their means,
and have labored diligently in the Union
cause since this war commenced. To
the people we submit the whole oues-
tion. Public opinion is generally right.
We dismiss the whole subject, never
again TO be referred to-jrst as the
militia have been dismissed, never
again to be collected, under the same
officers.
