The BIus Noses On the Rnmpage.

The telegraph gives the delightful in
tslligenee that our strictly neutral British
friends in Halifax, have interfered and
rescued from the custody Of officers, the
pirates who captured the Chesapeake, and
who were in turn captured By o. e.
naval vessel in British waters, and were
given up to the colonial authorities in Hal
ifsx to await the demands of our Govern
ment under the extrkdiiion treaty.
The only way to make these Blue Noses be-
have themselves is to annex them to our
Union and bring them under the orderly
influence Of our laws and customs. The
principal objection to this course, is they
ere not exactly ft for decent society.
This, however, can be remedied by the
sure process Of oivili4ing them. The time
is not far distant when the Canucks and
Blue Noses will have the privilege Of vOt-
ing for g President In the meanwhile
they may as well prepare themselves for
their future changed and improved cOndi-
ton by sending ell the young Canueks
and Blue Noses to school, 50 as to enable
them to read their ballot when that time
comes.

The English Account of Rebel treatment

The English Account of Rebel Treatment !
of Wounded Prisoners.
The following is an extract from letter
written by an English Surgeon with the
Army Of the Potomac, published in the
London Medical Time and Gazette of Au-
gust 8. 1t is one other, and necessarily
an impartial testimony to the different
methods in which wounded prisoners have
been treated By US and by the rebels
"The rebel wounded in our charge have
Jared, SO far as comfort and attention went,
as our own men Jared. Before our sup
plies came up, they made no complaints
after their arrival, they declared they had
not had such gay time since the confede-
raey commenced to exist. The surgeons,
in bringing their cases to the table, never
examined previously if a man wore blue
pants or gray, but looked simply at the
nature of the wound. Had they been with
in their own lines, they could not have
been so well attended to. have seen
Confederate wounded in the hands Of the
Ubionists, and Union wounded in the
hands Of the Rebels, and 1 cannot but say
that in acting the Good Samaritan the
North bears off the palm. At Chsncellors-
vile battle, the rebels removed their
wounded to be cared for at Richmond, leav-
ing the 1000 Northern wounded to lie up
on the field. The Rebel soldiers near them
gave them what help they could, but the
Rebel Government did nothing-but CON
hscste the captured surgeons cases and
hospital knspsscks, looking upon them ss
Government property. On the misery be-
ing represented to those in authority,
sugar, -four, bacon and hard bread were
plentifully issued to the wounded. This
was all, they said, they could give, be-
cause it was all they had. Still, they
could have done more they could have
removed these l,200 men to Richmond
along with their own wounded, to fare as
they Jared they could have sent detail
Of surgeons from their army at Fredericks-
burg to attend them: and, from Richmond
only couple of hours away by rail
straw, at least might have been sent for
them to lie upon. What would have been
said had the Unionists acted similarly at
Gettysburg ?-had they removed their own
wounded by rail, and left ten thousand
Rebels to lie upon the field with simply
hard bread, bacon, sugar and -four, to sus-
tain them, and with no surgical assistance
save the dozen medical men whom Lee sent
over to take csreo Of them2 Had this been
done, God help the Yankees I'VE would
never have heard the end Of it."

The Lafe Major nIedIII.

The following letter from Major General
Pleasanton, bearing testimony to the brsv-
cry Of the late Major VIM. h. Medill, who
WAS killed at the battle of Gettysburg, was
addressed to the brother Of the deceased,
Mr.. Joseph Medill, of the ChicsgO Tribune.
Major Medill was formerly resident Of
this city, and served as foreman of the
LEADEE printing Office in the years Of
1854-5-6. He was a genial young man,
and was a universal fayorite with all who
knew him. The writer Of this can bear
testimony to his integrity and worth
HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY CoRPs, !
AREY OF THE PoToHAC,
December Is, '68. J
JOSEPH MEDTLL, ESQ, Chicago, IllinOis:
My DEAR SIR: My varied duties have
heretofore prevented the accomplishment
cherished desire on my part to communi-
cate with you in reference to the death Of
your brother, Major ". H. Medill, of the
7th Illinois Cavalry. He received fatal
wound while fighting most gsllsntly in
front of our lines on the Antietsm River,
after having passed through the Gettys-
burg battle and campaign, with honor to
himself and To his regiment l deeply felt
his loss, not only to the service, but as a
friend and companion.
Having been under my command during
the past eighteen months had many op-
portunities Of observing his 6ne abilities.
Ills coolness, clear judgment, and quick
decision had already distinguished him on
many occasions, and the future was fast
opening to him brilliant career, when
his life was closed by 8 rebel shot.
One remembrance occurs to me that it
may not be out Of place to mention. 1t
was 8 year ago last October when, with
eight hundred cavalry and battery Of
artillery, started for Msrtinsburg, Va,
to find myself opposed by four thousand
rebel cavalry and two batteries. Your
brother, the Major, commanded my ad-
vance; we fought our way through to
Msrtinsburg, inficting a heavy loss on
the enemy, and the Major showed SO much
intelligence, ssgscity and military skill
throughout the day as to command my
highest admiration.
cannot do justice to the memory or the
service of your brother in a communities
tion Of this kind; but feel that some tes-
timony of my appreciation Of him might
not be unacceptable to you, more especially
Of our friendly attachment.
Trusting may have the good fortune to
meet you hereafter, and with the assur
snce Of my warmest sympsthies in your
affecting bereavement, l remain, very re-
spectfully. and truIv Yours
A. PLEAsAEToE, MajOr-General.

The PontnI morer Order sr,rem.


We are glad to see that the Postmaster
General has again urged the adoption of
the system which has proved such con-
venienee in Englsnd, of allowing the
Postofices to act ss a medium for the
transmission Of money by orders purchse-
able at its different sub-ofises throughout
the country. Nothing has contributed
more to facilitate commercial transactions
in the United Kingdom than this plan,
and the wonder is that it has not been
sooner adopted here. There is no other
way in which small sums Of money can be
transmitted as inexpensi7ely and safely.
The system in England is not only self
supporting, but contributes q handsome
surplus to the Postofiee revenues. We
trust that Congress will not fail this sess-
sion to give it the legislative sanction
which is necessary to enable the Depart
ment to put it in operation.

Correspondence of the Leader.
The Herofsm Of our Troops at Lookout
and missian Ridge.

and miasion Ridge.
CHATTANOOGA, Dec. 18th, 1863.
The storming Of Lookout Mountain and
Mission Ridge by our veteran troops, was
one Of the greatest achievements in mill
tary history, and seems almost miraculous.
When gaze at the mountains, that 1 saw
climbed by the different roads that wind
along the mountains sides, cannot realize
what my eyes beheld. 1t seems all
dream, that I actually saw twenty thou
sand men go up these rugged ssoents, and
fight the grandest battle in modern times,
above the clouds, in the very region Of the
storms.
Can it be possible that mighty army
moved up the crumbling and broken face
of Lookout MountsinI No man can be-
lieve it now, unless it was his good for
tune to witness the deed. A visible inter-
position of God could not seem more aw-
fully grand.
The fnsl assault upon Mission Ridge,
crowned with batteries and encircled with
rife-pits from its base 10 the crost, was an
accomplished fact to the smazsment Of ell.
The orders were to advance and take
the rihe-pits at the base of the mountain.
But when this was accomplished, General
Bently told me he saw that the rebel bat
teries had ten enflsding fires ready to
open AMI that he could not stop there;
besides the unsecountsble spirit of the
men bore them impetuously up the imprao-
ticable sleeps, over the rife-pits on the
crest, and the forty cannon enfilading
every gully. Our men were SO fixed with
enthusiasm and determination to wipe out
Chicksmsugs, that each man felt equal to
Msjor- General
In some instances when men had ex-
pended their ammunition, they actually
picked up rocks and hurled them upon the
fleeing rebels.
You have through the papers a full de-
tail Of the grsndest battle in history. A
few more such and We can see the begin
ming Of the end. The wsrmight even now
close without endangering the proclams-
ton Of freedom. For that horrible insti-
tuition, that has filed the land with woe,
and widows and orphans, is plucked up
by the roots. J.H.

w>The malice and intent of the Copper
head clamor about the $500 exemption
clause of the Enrolment Act are evidenced
by two facts:
/. The scoundrels who are now making
it, when the law was first enacted denoun-
ced this clause as insanely as they do now.
g When it was reported that the clause
was held to be imperative, and therefore
void, and that no exemption could be al
lowed under it, these same villainous con.
spirators at once entered upon the work of
denouncing the law because it did not al
low such exemptions!
Everybody who reads the Copperhead
papers at all, or who hears the reptiles hiss
about the streets, knows these to be facts.
They meant and mean to throw odium
upon the law in any and every way posi-
sible. They design doing all they can to
weaken our armies and demoralize the
country. So! they accomplish something
of this kind, they do not care how many OF
their dupes become the victims of their
credulity, They are quite willing to sacri-
fee any number of the ''poor men" they
profess to love so very much, if by so do
ing, they can aid the traitors. That is what
it all means.

PROVIDING FOR THE FAMILIES On
DRAFTED MEN.-In Philadelphia the draft
is being made quietly, and has, in some
districts OF the city, been completed. The
Philadelphia journals contain immense
lists of drafted men. Wealthy citizens ara
contributing very largely to afford relief
for the families of poor men who are dram.
ed. The Philadelphia Press says:
"a number of wealthy and liberal citi.
gems have resolved that no drafted man
shall leave the city without full knowledge
that his family shall not only be protected
from suffering, but maintained in the posi-.
ton in which his industry has placed it,
This policy is universally commended
and is worthy all commentator, 1t will
certainly be followed throughout the coun.
try. 1t is not charity but justice There
is an absolute necessity that our old war.
worn regiments in the field should be filled
up, that our sons and brothers who have
gone into the army should be reinforced
The Government does not want money
but men; and the most liberal provision
must be made for the families of those who
have to go TO fill up the ranks. Efforts to
raise money for the relief of the poor from
the draft should be given in this direction,
The country is rich and prosperous and
the families of its defenders must not he

MS The chivalry of old Virginia and
the hatred of the negro exemplified by
Northern Copperheads, is well illustrated
in the conduct Of Mr.. Andrews 'of Vir-
ginia." He is a sort of resident agent of
the c. s. A. living in New York and led
the mob in it's horrible barbarities towards
the negroes, sacking and burning the hos
pital for colored children. When arrested
by the authorities this "F. F. w was
found reposing in the arms ola negro cour-
texan. This fellow is no doubt chival-
rous gentleman, stickler for the Consti-

ter of "niggers" and ''abolitionists."

Is Gov. SEYMOUR A FRIEND OF THE RI
OTERS 10 the Editor of the NeW York
Tribune :-SIR-Thousands of law-and-or-
der men, Democratic and otherwise, have
asked themselves this question during the
past week: In what speech or writing,
public or private, has he denounced them?
None. Even when circumstances seemed
likely to extort from him word in repro
baton of their Secession villainy, he has
so far refrained from uttering it, Witness
the following incident at the Armory OF the
Sth NJ Y. S. NJ, on Saturday evening,
when, in addressing that noble regiment,
he said:
81 introduce myself to you as the Com
Chief of the military forces of
the State, to thank you, as your Comman-
der-in- Chief, for the alacrity and prompt
pess with which you flew TO the assistance
of a sister State in distress and trouble
As your COMMUNICATIVE Chief, / thank you
for the honor which you have done the flag
of your State. ] do not intend to make
you a speech, and will only repeat that, as
your COMMANDMENTS Chief, l sincerely
thank you for what you have DONE"
The frequent statement of the fact that
81 am your COMMUNICATIVE Chief is wOr-
thy of observation, much more so the
omission TO mention the rebellion, the
riot, or the cause of the regiments being
called unex pectedly home. Let loyal men
and Order-loving men ponder.
AT the end of his speech the Governor
Immediately began to retire, but was stop
ped by the Colonel of the Regiment, who
said:
zone moment, if you please, Mr.. Gov
ernor. / wish to inform your EXcellency
that the men before you left their homes to
do what they could in the time Of their
service to put down this wicked rebellion.
They have uncomplainingly borne the IA
tigues and burdens and dangers of their
thirty days campaign, sometimes for
week together on half rations. They are
law abiding and ldV- enforcing men and
pledged themselves as they neared the
wharf in the riot-cursed city of their
homes, not even to see their families, until
order was restored here, and domestic re-
bellion subdued. The heart of every man
of them was throbbing with anxiety to
reach this city in time to share in the sub
jugation of the mob whose atrocities have
called them from the field, and they chafed
at every delay. They are men who are at
all times ready to fight rebellion in any
form, as well in New York as in the South
This speech and the laundering applause
which the regiment gave it, non-plused our
loyal law-and-order Governor (?) who
could only make, after the hellish scenes of
the week, the silly reply, 81 hope their
sweet-hearts and wives will be glad to see
them," and retire abashed from the pres
ence Of a man, speaking for a regiment of
men. JUNIUS.

SEIZURE OF CONTRARANDA ARMS AT GRIN
NELL-A DEEP LAID PLOT NIPPED IN THE
BUD.-Ye Yesterday Provost Marshal Henry,
of Davenport, seized two boxes of Mimic
rifles at the express office in Grinnell. They
were addressed to Peter S. Pierce, noted
Copperhead, residing about three miles
from the town. The arms had been shipp-
ed from Chicago, and were packed in short
boxes, the stocks and breeChes having been
separated, in order to avoid suspicion.
How Marshal Henry got scent OF them
we were not informed. He passed through
Wilton, on last evening, having the arms
in his possession.
Thus, no doubt, has been nipped in the
bud an attempt to inaugurate on the prai-
ries of Iowa the bloody scenes enacted in
the streets OF. New York last week. There
is evidence that the sympathizers of Pow
eshiek county are thoroughly organized,
and were expecting these arms (some 800
stand) in order 10 set at defiance the draft
officers. This is part Of the peace pro-
gramme Mahony, Thayer IL Co. have ar
ranged for the people of Iowa. We can
promise them, however, that if they un-
dertake any thing Of the kind they will
find it about as sore business as did their
cO-workers who participated in the riotous
proceedings in New York. Such demon
STATIONS at this time, to encourage their
defeated and disheartened Southern breth-
rem will meet with swift and severe pun
ishment from the indignant loyal masses
of the North.-ifuScdtine Journal.
