In a bad Fix

The editor of the Cincinnati Evenin0
Times, June 20, speaking of the appeals of
Gen. Burnside and Gov. Tod of Ohio to the
militia of.the State to turn out promptly for
the defense of the State from invasion, says:
"But these appeals will fall still-born.-
The spirit of the community has departed.
laundering Generals and a weak-backed
Executive have produced an apathy from
which the people can scarcely be aroused.
30 great is the carelessness of all, that
civil officers. whose sworn duty it is to ex-
ecute the Militia Laws of the State, have
neglected Il entirely. According to the en-
aotment OF last April, every militia com
pany in Ohio is to meet at i O'Clock nezt
Saturday. Oath of july and elect oficers.-
Wbere shall zoe meet"
Butthe Times goes on to express the opin-
ion that by extraordinary activity of sxsr-
ton, something may be done towards an
organization by next Saturday, the 4th.

How DEFAULTERs ARE TREATED.-Un der
the present despotia Administration at
Washington, it seems TO be more dangerous
to exercise mans constitutional rights than
to be a thief or public robber. If a man
should utter his opinions in favor of peace
to his distracted country; in favor of stopping
the wholesale slaughter of his countrymen;
in favor of arresting the accommodating load
of debt incurred by the war, and the ruin
and impoverishm of his posterity, he is
denounced as a traitor, and, perhaps, kid
mapped at midnight, and locked up in prison
or to endure whatever other outrages ty-
ranny may invent: But if he should rob the
people by official stealing, he may be re-
warded by continuance in Office, or, perhaps,
by having new office conferred upon him.
We would oall especial otice to the case
of one IKE Cook, Paymaster in the army,
who, few months ago, had a number Of
gamblers arrested in the West, for winning
his money Cor the people's,) at cards. Has
anybody heard of any legal or other pro-
ceedings against Cook? We certainly have
not. But we are credibly informed tn at
said Cook has never even been dismiss ed
from the service, and that he is now acting
officially, as Paymaster, at Louisville, Ken

ALFRED SANDERsoN, Esq.

GENERAL MILRoY.-The New York
Times Commercial Advertiser, Philadelphia
Inquirer, and number of other Republican
journals, are criticising with deserved Sc
verify, the feeble defense of Winchester by
General Milroy. Next to the surrender of
Harpers Ferry and Holly Springs, it was
the most disgraceful minor reverse of the
war. 1t has not redeeming feature. Mil
roy's record is very bad one. and his be-
ing in command of so important position
is discreditable to the Administration.
Like most feeble men, ne has been violent
and tyrannical. His cruel severity to the
unfortunate Confederate families in his De-
partment, led to the prompt hanging of a
number of poor Union soldiers by the Rich
mond authorities. and the Administration
was compelled to interfere and put stop
to his blood-thirsty proceedings. He is an
Aboltionist of the most violent type, and
our readers will remember letter he wrote
not long since, he threatening to set his SOL
diers upon the track of the Democrats, to
hunt them down after the war was over.
Generals of the Butler and Milroy stamp
are terrible fellows on paper, or when they
have women or children to deal with; but
fighting men is not in their way. There is
every reason to fear at Harper's Ferry if
Milroy is left in command of it.-Me0 York

Vandalism of the War.

Even the Tribune is forced to a half cen
sure of Colonel Montgom ery's conduct at
Button and Darien. 1t publishes in one
column the fact of the destruction of Darien,
Georgia, thus:
The inhabitants driven out and the town
sacked, the next step in Colonel Montgom-
ery's programme was to burn and destroy
every thing he could not carry off with him
in a few moments the principal buildings
were all in flame, and, a strong southwest
wind prevailing at the time, the whole viii
lage was soon enshrouded in flame and
smoke. and before the expedition returned,
not single tenantable habitation remained.
OF this letter and the results thus por-
trayed. the editor says:
It does not state why these expeditions,
which doubtless have a legitimate object,
are signalized by the sack and plumber of
unresisting towns, which is not, in ordinary
circu m stances, legitimate military opera
ton. There may be a reason for the license
which Colonel Montgomery allows his
troops, out if there is one it ought to be
m ade public, in order that his reputation
and that of the National cause may not be
sullied by the disgrace which such acts, IN
explained, bring upon them.

THE HARVEST is approaching, and we are
informed by reliable gentlemen from many parts of
the country that there is not sufficient force to
gather it, should it turn out to be large as it
promises to be. This is an important matter and
should receive the earnest attention OF the Govern
ment. If by any means, it can be done, without
detriment to the public interest, the farmers who
have been forced to leave their farms without
hands to reap the wheat and oats should be
furloughed for ten or fifteen days We throw
out this suggestion, thus early, that those who
have the power may take the matter into considera-
ton, and act for the welfare Of all concerned We
can assure them that unless something of the kind
is done thousands of bushels Of wheat and oats
will be lost; and what is true of Rowan county, is
also true of every other county ia the State and of
the MISUNDERSTANDING Watchn,an.

General seems, II is impossible not 70 fancy n a.
he Is wearing himself terribly by his restless,
sleepless activity, BY his midnight marches, aud
by the asceticism Of his life. The respect and
consciousness of his presence, and what that
presence means, exhibited BY bis staff, impressed
me very strongly, and seemed to exceed the re-
spect exhibited towards Gen. Lee He spoke o
few hearty words Of admiration Of Gen. Lee, say.
ing that he never should wish TO serve under an
abler commander. But his heartiest aud most en-.
thusiastic uttsrances were Ia admiration. Of the
Cathedral ediices of England, and notably of York
Minister. BE dwelt with great animation upon
the vibration Of the air produced by the deep notes
of the organ in York Minister, and which be had
never heard equaled elsewhere. 1t is rare 10 end
in Presbyterian such appreciation and sdmira-
tion Of Cathedral magnifcence.
1t remains for me TO say few words respecting
one other Of the most valuable officers Of the
Confederacy-an eminently combative man-Gen.
Longstreet. His frame is stout and heavy his
couuteaaHee norid and CHEEKY, and eminently
English in appearance. In every position which
be has occupied-frst, rs commanding n brigade;
secondly, as commanding division; thirdly, corps
farmee-he has grown In the affections Of his
men, and the confidence Of his commanding Off
GERS. As brave and imperturable under fire us in
his tent, remarkable for his promptitude in think
ing correctly when in the greatest danger, his
value TO the Confedeacy can hardly be overesti-
mated. review Of some 10000 Of his mcu took
place when We were at Winchester. Among this
body there were no shoeless or barefooted sufferers
a finer or more spirited body of men have never
been assembled together on the North American
continent. In conclusion, can safely say that,
although saw much suffering, great want Of shoes,
frequently very inadequate clothing, aIncng the
men of Gen. Lees army, / was astonishcd to OBJ
serve how confident was the spirit pervading the
entire body. No such army has ever yet been
assembled to fight for the Confederaoy. Any
battle into which these enter is half won when
the first shot is fired. Again and again they have
joined issue under most unfavorable circumstances
with their opponents, and have gained victories.
1t is not likely that the tide will be turned now
that tho Federals are every day lighting with less
and less appetite and now that the experience Of
lS months of war has given such confidence to
the Confederates in themselves and in their CON.
manding officers that tho day Of battle is surely
and :riumphantly looked on as necessarily the day
of victory

GENERAL IMBoDEN's SUCCESS IN WESTERN

GENERAL IMBoDEN's SUCCESS IN WESTERN
VIRGINIA-We learn that confmatory nte-
gence was received at Lynchburg, of the brilliant
success of Gen. Imboden in the Valley of Virginia,
and in the Northwest, some accounts of which we
have given already. He had at last accounts not
only cleared out the county of Pendleton, but
had driven the enemy through Randolph into
Barbour county in the extreme Northwest, killing
and woundng many of them, and capturing many
prisoners. He had also captured and destroyed
vast amounts of commissary and quartermaster's
stores, taken some seven or eight hundred head of
cattle and number of wagons, with the horses
attached to them. He was within short distance
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with nothing
between him and that great thoroughfare but a
routed and crestfallen enemy. It was expected
that he would continue his advance to the Railroad
and destroy it as far possible. His success has
been most brilliant, and all accomplished with the
loss of but three or four wounded-none killed.

which justified this step were as follows: Lieut.
Stone taken prisoner by Lieut.. j. A. Payne,
of the Black Horse Cavalry, who, while proceed

his horse from under him, and he was about

Lieut.. Payne safe to shore with great danger to
himself This circumstance, so ereditable to
Lieut.. Stone, was made known to the Secretary OF
War by Gen Stuart who bespoke kind treatment
for the captive. The Secretary of War issued an
order that he should be released uncondtionaiiy
and sent home, which was done yesterday. sI1ce
