COLUMBUS, July 80, 1868.
Nathaniel AeriOn, Esq Rdrdea Of The Ohio
PenitsndGry:
Yo1 have been advised by formidable
and destructive raid through our State, OF
Il band of desperate men under the lead OF
the notorious John Morgan; also their cap.
tpre by the military forces of the Federal
Government, aided, however, materially by
the militia forces OF our State.
Upon consultation with Major General
A. E. Burnside, commander-in-chief of
this Military Department, learn from him
that he has not subject to his command, a
secure place in which to keep the princi-
pal officers of said band. I have, therefore,
rendered TO the Federal Government the
use of our Penitentiary, as place of safe
keeping for them until other provisions
can be made.
You will, therefore, please receive from
the officers of the United States Govern
ment, the ssid John Morgan and thirty
others, Confederate officers, captured with
him, "a list of whose names is herewith
handed you and safely aud securely keep
them within the walls of the Penitentiary
until other proVisiOH shall be made for
them.
You will carefully search each prisoner
as ne may De nanueu over TO you, ana take
from him all arms and articles of value
(money included,J and carefully preserve
the same until you may receive further di-
reGtions touching the disposition thereof
You will keep said prisoners, so far as
may be possible, separate and apart from
the couVicts. You will furnish them every
thing necessary in the way of food and |
clothing for their comfort, and impose only |
such restrictions upon them as may be ne
cessary for their safe keeping. You will |
permit no one to hold interviews, or com
munications, by writing or otherwise, ex-
cept by written or telegraphic order from |
Gen. Burnside.
You will employ such additional force,
for guard or other duty, as You may deem
necessary.
Should clothing be required for the pris-
oners, you will make acquisitions upon me
for the same.
You will keep an accurate account of all
cost to the institution consequent
upon compliance with this request and |
report the same to me from time 70 time,
as you may require funds to meet'the ex
Penditure-
-. Respectfully yours,
lSlgned DAVID Top,

Death of GEN. Cooper.

Brigadier General JAMES COOPER, COM
mandant of Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio,
died in that city on Saturday last, after a
short illness, of congestion of the lungs.
Gen. @. was born in Frederick county,
Md, May Sth, 1910, and after graduating
in Washington College, Pennsylvania, in
1881, commenced the study of law with
Hon. THADEoUs STEVENS, at Lancaster.
He was admitted to the bar in 1884, was
a Representative from Pennsylvania in
Congress in 1S3S-4O, was a member OF
the State Legislature from 1914 to 1916,
introducing and carrying through in the
face of desperate opposition, measures
to relieve tac credit of the State, then on
the verge of reputation. On his return
from visit to Europe, in 1s4s, he was
made Attorney General of the State, and
in 1S49 was chosen United States Senator,
and served till the close of his term, in
1855. In politics he was always a Wing.
After leaving the Senate he resumed the
practice of law in Philadelphia, but his
health being infirm, he removed to Mary
land in 1860. On the breaking out of the
great rebellion, he raised a brigade of 10y
al Marylanders, consisting of one regiment
of cavalry and three regiments of infantry,
and was appointed a Brigadier General
May II, 1861. AT the battle of Antietam,
and in the Shenandoah Valley campaigns,
and on all occasions, these troops, raised
under adverse circumstances, displayed
great yalOr.

The New York Journal Of Commerce, a
paper which many stupid politicians style
a copperhead, publishes an article to show
that the Union can never be divided. 1t
says:
The Union cannot be CIT IN t,cO.
We know that men have vague ideas of
stopping the war, and the more radical of
the anti-slavery men think that it would
be very easy to let the South 60 out in the
cold and try to manage the course of sla-
very so as to make the best of it; but it
cannot be done. And it is very strange
that the South does not see this truth
so plainly as to abandon at once the plan
of dsunion. \ very simple method
of testing the difficulties which create
this impossibility of disunion will be
found by any one who will take q map
and commence at the Atlantic coast to
fix the point of departure, and then draw
the line across the map. Shall the point
be the Chesapeake Bay? Will you draw
the line north or south of Maryland?
Will you leave Washington a frontier city
within reach of the cannon Of q foreign
country? Will you abandon Western Vir-
ginia? Eastern Tennessee? Kentucky?
Missouri? When you have given to. the
South all that you imagine they could pos
sibly demand, even to Maryland, Kentucky
and Missouri, do you imagine that the line
will remain permanent which establishes
custom-houses between the northwest and
the trade of the Southern States, along
the Tennessee, Cumberland, Mississippi,
and other great rivers? The mouth Of the
Mississippi is of less importance to the
northwest than the banks of those rivers,
No line that can be drawn will stay drawn
an hour. Nor can human ingenuity de-
wise line that will remain fixed.

AnecdOte of Gen. Sumner.

The Springfield Republican gives the
following amusing account Of the turning
point in Gen. SUMMERS early life:
Gen. Sumner, when young man, was
a stage-driver among the Berkshire Hills,
and this is how he happened to get into
the army. At time in winter when the
roads were dangerous, going down steep
hill, the stage slowed and turned over, but
the horses kept on. One of the passengers
pushed himself out of the door on the up
per side of the coach, and climbed upon
the box and attempted to take the reins
from Summers hands. "You let the reins
alone, or I'll throw you off! " said the dri-
yer, with determination. The passenger
wisely abandoned his attempt at interfer-
ence, and Sumner guided the team firmly
till it was safe to stop them, dragging the
overturned coach along, and SO saved pas
sengers and team. The passenger who
attempted to take the reins was General
Worth. He was so impressed with young
Summers sterling qualities that he cult
waited his acquaintance and induced him to
join the army, and the cool and determined
driver made an intrepid commander.

Designs of the Sioux.

The following extract of letter to
mercantile house of this city, is from a
gentleman who has unusual sources for
obtaining correct information in regard to
the Indians. 1t was written from the Red
River Settlement, under date of March
There have been some 200 lodges OF Sioux at
Devils Lake this winter, and have heard that
200 lodges of Yankton Sioux have recently ar
rived there from towards the Missouri to ioin
with the Others in campaign against the
whites in the Spring. 1t will require a great
many troops to keep the road safe between here
and st. Paul. If your people had hung the
whole three hundred at Mankato, it would have
prevented any further trouble. Halfway meas
ures with the devils will only tend to second
edition of the Florida War. * We had
a visit from ninety to one hundred Sioux re-
Gently. They made their headquarters at Fort
Garry"

ThurlOyv Weed and the lrrecOncila-
BILE Difference.

Thurlow Weed has written another let
ter, in which he speaks of the eleventh
hour repentance of Greeley, and his "con-
version, bordering upon the miraculous"
from the extreme radical views he has
hitherto held on the negro question as in
volved in the war. Weed, obviously, like
most other people, has little faith in Gree
ley's pretended change of heart, and de-
clares 'but for the teachings of the T1'i-
bune, in utter conflict with itself and now
repudiated, our country would have been
spare half the horrors of this war; In
the following paragraph Mr.. Weed tells
what the ''irreconcilable difference" with
his party was which caused his retirement
from the Ecening Journal:
was read out of the Republican party,
and driven out of the Eoening Jou,walfor
urging that this war should be prosecuted
to overcome a wicked rebellion, to re-
establish the authority of the government,
and to restore the Union. This alone was
the ground of ''irreconcilable difference
with my party" That was the length and
breadth of my offending. When I stated
that an effort was making in influential
quarters, to narrow and pervert the issue
from a question Of Union to one of Adolf
ton, the Tribune said it was Gle"
But now Mr.. Greeley admits that the
'arm of the nation" has been weakened"
by those whose 'party prGudices inapel
them to beliere that this is 81 ,car for the
Niger rather Mon q acor for tie Union."

The Telegraphic News.

The reported defeat ofthe rebels near
Somerset, Kentucky, by Gen. GILMORE, is
confirmed. 1t was complete rout, and
many were drowned in getting across the
Cumberland river. The action was near
the old Mill Springs battle ground 1t is
supposed more formidable invasion will
soon take place. A Richmond paper says
BURNSIDE is going to East Tennessee with
twenty-five thousand men.
"A dispatch says the rebels have raised
the gunboat Indianola and that tears are
felt for the Hartford and the Albetross,
wooden vessels of FARRAauT's fleet below
Vicksbnrg, from the rebel vessels Queen
of the West and William H. Webb. A
special states that the fight on the Yazoo,
at Fort Pemberton, we suppose, has been
renewed with every pospect of success.
The rebels made daring foray into
the town of Mount Pleasant, Western
Virginia, on the Ohio river, and burned
several houses, fired into steamboats,, &C.,
but were subsequently driven off by troops
from Gallipoles, Ohio.
The "Florida has captured Bos-
ton ship, the Star of Peace" and burned
her, with cargo worth half million dol
lars.
Pensacola, Florida, has been evacuated
by our troops and nearly all the houses in
the town burned by the soldiers, who sup
dosed the place was to be given up to the
enemy. 1t is said the troops were wanted
to reinforce Banks at New Orleans.
"A dispatch from Washington says that
draft of about 100000 men will soon be
made to fill up the old regiments, and that
the conscripted men will be sent at once
to the regiments in the field instead of
camps of instruction.
Gen. TODD, of Ohio, has been arrest
ed and held to bail on a charge of kidnap-
ping Dr. OLDs.
1t is stated that Gen. GRANT has got
battery in a position to lombard Vicks-
burg and was about ready to open fire.
The attack on Fort Pemberton has recon-
menced. The telegraph says there are
5000 boats at Young's Point.

Gen. Curtis, cotton speculations.

The testimony before the Mcdowell
military commission. in St. Louis, has al
ready developed the fact that three officers
of Gen. Curtis staff were engaged in buy
ing cotton at Helena. When it is known
that Curtis staff embraced nearly all his
family relations, it may be inferred by
whose authority and on whose account
they were engaged in cotton speculation.
1t is not probable that the evidence will
show that Gen. Curtis engaged personally
in the business Of buying cotton, but it
may show who was interested in the
profits. Let the investigation proceed.

The President and Gen. Banks.

Agate, the Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, gives the following:
Loon;tur an eminet Pennsylvania Congress-
man-"Sir Banks is failure isn't hep"
swell, that is harsh," said the President
"but he hasn't come up to my expectations
"Then sir, why don't you remove him?"
"Well, sir, one principal reason for not do
ing so is that it would hurt Gen. Banks feelings
very much !"
The saddest thing about this is that it is un-
deniably true.
1t will be remarked that the radicals still
retain the monopoly of abusing Mr.. Lin
coin. Here he is accused of keeping an
incompetent general in command for fear
of hurting the incapables feelings! The
charge, if it were tf6e, is most damaging
one. 1t is however only an ebullition Of
radical spite called forth because Gen.
Banks, in his operations at New Orleans
has evinced more regard for the Union
than for the negro.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce says:
1t has been known that General Hunter
was first-rate negro fanatic, and the
friends of the President are to-day declar-
ing that he is tip-top military humbug.
He seems to BIO another of those pet chill
dren of the White House, who have done
their country nothing but harm since their
promotion to responsible positions. Not
content with quarreling with Generals
Foster and Stevenson, he has now kicked
up row with Gen. Naglee. No sane
man can believe that everybody is wrong
excepting Hunter himself. To this fanatic
has been intrusted the most important de-
partment in the whole army, and very Sc
rious apprehensions are felt that bis entire
campaign will end in <'fizzle.';

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
DRIVEN and not of Dollars

The Chicago Tribune comments with
just severity on an absurd proposition in
troduced into the Wisconsin Legislature
by Mr.. CLARK that the State raise by
special tax the entire sum required for sub
stitutes for all her drafted men. That is,
if ten thousand men are called for from
Wisconsin by CONSUMPTION in July next, the
State-should pay the General Government
$4,000, 900 instead of sending the troops.
The same proposition was made, in effect,
the other. day by the st. Paul Press, the
only difference being its application to
towns and cities, and its agrarian sugges-
ton to the poor, "who have the most
votes" to take the money of the rich to
raise the sum required. The remarks of
the Tribune on Clark's proposition are
perfectly applicable to the position of the
Press on this question:
We thank Sat- Clark for this best possible
calculation of the true theory of drafting and
substitutes His policy is of course too weak
to stand alone, and topping over, it plays hav-
Oc with Copperhead hopes. Sat- Clarke and
all the other satellites of jeff. Davis may rest
assured that when the call comes for men, the
Government will not take dollars instead. The
Government makes conscripts of men, and not
of dollars For every man drawn, one man
must 60 with musket in his hand. Inasmuch
as many will desire for multiarious reasons to
procure substitutes, well and good. let them do
it, but at their own risk, but if there be no sub
stitute, the principal must go. 1t is men that
are wanted. At the same time, to put an end
to the vocation of substitute sharks the Gov
eminent takes the substitute business into its
own hands and fixes the uniform rate at $500.

An Infamous Order.

The following "Order" is exultingly
published in the Concord, New Hampshire
Democrat, an ultra Abolition paper:
