GE- The latest capture of blockade
runner was that of the Banshee, Clyde
built iron steamer, of three hundred and
sixteen tons burthen, and very fast, which
is said to have run the blockade from
Nassau to Wilmington no less than eight
times. She had a valuable cargo, which
did not reach its destination among the reb-
els, but will go towards rewarding ''Uncle

&s-The cargo OF the Peterhoff, the prize
vessel about which there has been so much
talk and legal dispute, was sold at auction
in New York last week by order of the
United States Court. The cargo had been
appraised at $3.50, 1000. The actual amount
it brought at the sale was about three hun
dred thousand dollars!-fifty thousand
more than the appraisement. That was a
valuable cargo. The prize money will
doubtless make glad the hearts of the gal
liant "tars' who participated in the cap
ture, however much the original owners
may mourn over their misadventure. Rut
nobody will sympathize with them. In
this part OF the world, at all events, their
disappointmentis rather matter of glad
ness. We would like to see all who try to
aid rebels blessed with the same sort Of
luck.

No The base whelps who run the Cop
perhead machine hereabouts have now
showed their hand.p They have deliber-
ately made up their minds to deter men
from volunteering just as much as they
can with safety to their miserable and
worthless carcasses. Nobody ever sup
posed that the leaders of the gang would
volunteer. Nobody ever asked them to
volunteer. Nobody wants them to volun-
teer. They would disgrace and dishonol
the loyal men who now make up the rank
and file of our gallant regiments in the
held. They profess to be opposed to the
war. They profess sympathy with the
rebels. They delight in uttering praises
to Saint JEFF. They love nothing so much
as to indulge in denunciations of the Presi-
dent, the Government, Congress, the
Courts, the Army and Navy of the Union.
They find nothing good in the whole land
but rebellion and treason. No man is wor-
thy of their honor but traitors and those
who give to traitors "aid and comfort
They seek the overthrow of the Union.-
They mean to ensure its overthrow if they
can. They are dastards, of course. How
could volunteer traitors be otherwise p
They put themselves in no danger. But
they do not hesitate to push others into
danger-their ignorant dupes and blinded
partisans. Nobody expected, or asked, or
wished that these rotten and shameless
partisans of traitors would volunteer. But
we did not know but that they might have
gained so much of sense as to hold their
tongues, and if they would not encourage,
at least say nothing that would discourage,
volunteering. They have proved wanting
in even this small share of judgment. They
are blind reptiles, after all. The emphatic
rebuke lately administered by the people
seems not to restore them to even a slight
consciousness of their madness. They are
determined that all the world shall know
that, come what will, they are resolved to
wallow in the mire of unequalled infamy
all the days of their lives.
They have now made this so plain that
no one can fail to perceive their INTENT
They don't want anybody to volunteer
When the draft comes, they won't want
anybody to be drafted. AS much as they
dare they will oppose that, and endeavor to
induce others to oppose it. If they could
succeed in totally obstructing it, they wo'd
be rejoiced beyond measure. But this can
not be done. So they mourn as those who
will not be comforted, because the Union
will be reinforced and rebels will
probably be compelled to submit to the
laws they themselves enacted! This is the
picture of their position. They display it
Their animus is now evident
to all. All loyal men-all men who have
any love for their country, must see and

@-One way, and the best way when the

many who would prefer EARNING their

&a- 1t is said that among Gen. Grants
prisoners just captured at Chattanooga, are
large numbers of the men he paroled at
Vicksburg, and who have never been ex-
changed. Grant, it is said, has already in
quired what he shall do with them. Ac-
cording to Military Law they are guilty OF
the highest offence and stand condemned
to immediate death. We presume they will
claim they are to be treated more leniently
on the grond that their higher officers have
declared them exchanged, and that they
have been forced to return to the field by
irresistible authority. How much they
are entitled to leniency on these grounds
we do not know. They will get all they
deserve we have no doubt. More than that
it would be mere folly and cruelty to our
own men in prison to extend to them
This violating ofparoles shouldbe stopped.

a fate have they sought, and how terribly

ward supplies for the Sanitary Commission.
In the late battle at Chattanooga there
were many wounded aud disabled-not so
many as at Chickamauga, or at Stone Riv-
er, or at Shiloh; but still number large
enough to require large supplies. These
have doubtless gone forward from depots
in the rear, which in their turn need 10 be
replenished. Grants movements are, we
think, but just commenced. He will have
other encounters with the rebels, success
full ones we verify believe, but all to be
won by battle, and certain to increase the
count of those who need Sanitary succor.
Burnside, also, is likely to have severe
fight, unless the retreat of Bragg shall also,
as it may, necessitate that of Longstreet.
Meade is moving on Lee,-a great
battle on the Rapidan, or in advance of it,
may occur any day, may even be taking
place as we write. All these probabilities
call loudly for work in preparing to min
lister promptly to the necessities of our gall
liant soldiers at these distant points, on a
moments warning. The way to do it is
to have the supplies ready in advance
We must keep the repositories nearest the
front plentifully stocked. 1t is too late to
do this after the battles are fought, and, it
may be, many of our own friends and rela-
ives are sacrificed to our want of fore
thought. We need not fear that too much
will be done-that supplies will be super
abundant. There is no danger of that. Do
all we can, it is still probable that the sup
ply will not be full-some one will still
lack whom we should be glad to aid. So let
all keep on in the good work. Prepare all
things which are essential in abundance
Let us continue to do our whole duty. If
we do that, our consciences will be clear
whatever befalls

what Grant has Done.

Whether Grant is merely ga lucky dog
or really great General, it is certain that
he has had the good fortune of reaping the
most brilliant laurels of this war. Column
bus, Fort Pillow, Donelson, Shiloh, Arkan-
sas Post, Vicksburg, and other less impor-
tant battles and successes, have been won
under his command, and constitute for him
q blazonry Of homer and glory, unequalled
by the achievements of any other leader OF
our armies. And Norwegian, judging from
such information as has reached us while
we write, another flower has been added
to the chaplet, which illustrates his fame,
and strikes another deadly blow at the Re.
bellion.
Nothing since the commencement of the
war is more brilliant than this short cam
paign Of Grant, since he succeeded Rose.
Grams. Bragg has been tempted into divid-
ing his army, the largest and best in the
Confederacy, and sending large force into
East Tennessee. This was Grants oppor.
tunity. He has hurled his veteran troops
upon his weakened foe, and at blow bro
ken and destroyed Bragg and sent his lie,
gions flying, and panic-stricken back into
Georgia. His army is thrown between the
defeated troops of Bragg and the thanking
army of Longstreet in East Tennessee, and
ajunction is an impossibility. How Long.
street is to get out at all, is more than We
can see. Bragg must display better gene.
ralship than he yet has shown, to save his
army from humiliation. We shall see
what will be the finale of this short, but
swift and terrible campaign. In the mean
time We cannot award too much praise to
Grant, Thomas, Hooker, Sherman, and the
veteran troops which they command. Our
Western Armies are victorious upon every
field. -rs: #.taH

of our speedy success and will bring us
peace and security, and perpetual Union
and that speedily.


~ It used to be said that "evil commu-
nications corrupt good manners" If old
maxims are not altogether false, in what
"parlous state" are all men of honest
Intentions, who have, nevertheless, made
themselves the companions of men who
openly declare themselves the friends of
rebels and traitors? Have these better
men ever reflected upon the danger of their
position7 Have they ever seriously ex-
amined the nature of their connection with
the Mahonys, Woods and vallandighams
of the North? How can they reconcile
their support of such villians-villians who
make boast Of their sympathy with trea-
son, and whose conduct shows that they
are even worse than they profess to be, with
duty to their country, to themselves, their
conscience, and to posterity? If they have
not calmly reflected upon their unfortunate
and sad completely with these most infa-
nous of mon, is it not time for them TO do
so? If they will not do this-if they still
neglect, in this hour of comparative politi-
cal quiet, to re-examine their position in
the light of facts and truths which must be
apparent to all who do not Intentionally
blind their own eyes, can they expect a
further completely in the evil purposes OF
the vile and reasonable to be regarded as
anything but a deliberate choice and per-
sistent and wilful sanction of the treason
able schemes of their frenzied leaders,
The time is rapidly drawing near, when to
have supported Butternut ticket, and to
have been a candidate on such one, or to
have in any mode publicly sympathized
with it in any way, will be burden no
man can bear. All such are already con-
signed to political graves. Hereafter they
will find it also consigns them to social
graves from which there is no possibility
of resurrection, except in those instances
where known honesty of purpose is believ-
ed to have been deluded by false profess
sions and unfortunate prejudices. But
there is limit to this consideration. Men
are expected to see it some time. Those
who fail in season will reap future har-
vest of shame and infamy to which Arnold's
was but faint example.

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE

~ 1t is pleasant to glance over the ex-
pensions Of delight which come to us in all
loyal journals over the recent success of
Grant at Chattanooga. The warm gratu-
lations of all patriotic men in all parts ofthe
country evidence their uniform high esti-
mate of the signal advantages already Sc
cured, and their sanguine anticipations of
still other and greater yet to follow. These
expr essions of gladness and thankfulness,
various as they are, are uniform in their
tone Of hopefulness and promise of the fu-
ture. All men seem to realize the fact that
the late hurling of Bragg ont of his strong
hold, ofitself, is victory fraught with tre-
menduous consequences to the rebels, and
bright with most glowing prospects for
immediate effect than to ensure our occupa-
ton of East and Southeast Tennessee,
that, of itself constitutes signal success,
and opens the road to future movements
which will inevitably make "Dixie'' too
hot place tor any rebel leaders.
~ 1t was an egregious mistake-that
made by the Powers of Europe at the out
break of our hideous rebellion, in acting
on the idea that Americans We're subject to
the same control as those in Europe. They
acted upon the ground that we were unable
to reach the level of our danger, and at last
override and successfully throw it aside
forever. They have fonnd out their error.
They have discovered that in all respects
we have been equal to the emergency. We
have created vast armies. We have built
a navy better and more to be dreaded than
that of any other power. We have found
money and all other material Of war in
abundance. We have, in fact, proved to
the world that what they imagined would
turn out to be weak and feeble nation,
has done more than any other could posi-
bly, have achieved. They are sadly disap-
pointed. They find it necessary to change
their policy. They are trying to regain the
position they have lost in our regards. 1t
will not be long before they will be suppli-
ants for our friendship, and their tone will
be as humble as of late it was insolent.-
Don't they wish they had been wiser? r..
