The Washington News Censorship.

The Wellington News censorshiP.
Unjust be apparent to any one that there
has been for the past week an almost total
suppression of news from Hooker's army.
We have had none but the meagerest and
vaguest accounts Of its movements. This::is
to be regretted. We do not infer that,
therefore, we have suffered disaster. We
iufer, simply, that there is stupid and
i'll judged censorship at Washington over
the Transmission of news, which does
more harm by its mutilation and suppress

sibl6 do. Tue people are not afraid to
hear news, WHISTLER good or bad.

An AppenI 70 MN mood

We trust that our citizens have at length
come to see, 10 its true light, the duty We
have been endeavering to point out TO them
for, some days past. Indeed, the difficulty
to be overcome was not one arising out of
any denial OF that duty-for no one dis
puted or;doubted. that under certain. cir
cumstances,- the people ought to organize
and prepare to meerand repel any attempt
of the enemy to invade our soil. The
whole question and difficulty just resolved
itself practically intosthe denial of another
thing-that such circums tauces as would
render military organization, aud the
construction of Notifications, aud 10 gen
eral the setting on foot of a system of
home defense necessary, did not exist. 1t
was in vain to urge that, while the advance
of the re bel army for the purpose of occu-
plying this portion of Pennsylvania, had
become more aud more difficult aud i'm
probable since their loss of Western Vir-
ginia, vet to such leaders as Stuart and
er than has often appeared in West Wiz
ginia, the enterprise Of riding through
Western PennsylvaniA, aud sacking Pits
burgh, would not, by any means, be a
formidable one. @
But what would have been vain to urge
but yesterday, or, at any rate last week,
needs no urging Rotc ,-for all men that have
eyes to see and ears to hear, realize now
the immineuce of the danger. Would that
we could say that all are equally ready
aAd inspired with the right spirit to meet
it. STILL good beginning has been made,
and almost one good days work has been
done already.

John BrOush Nominated for cover

It will be seen by a dispatch to the
GAINESVILLE Courier from its editor, which
we print elsewhere, that John Brough was
nominated on the first ballot, for Governor
of Ohio, by the Union War Convention, at
Columbus, Wednesday.
John Brough is au. old democrat, and
twenty years ago was quite prominent in
Ohio politics. He was brought promi-
nently before the State by the reporters OF
the Cincinnati papers. 10 his great speech
at Marietta. That speech, so noble in its
patriotism and go wise in its suggestions,
touched cord in the hearts of all the
loyal people of Ohio that seemed to thrill
them from one end of the State to the
other. Tue feeling spread With at azing
raptdity to every part of the State, that
John BrOugh was just the man with whom
to Stay the Copperheads; and now we fnd
him aImoss unanimously elected on the
dfot ballot by the Conventional Columbus.

The Occupation OF New Greek of
DoubtEnI RxnedioncY.

DOubtEul E1pedtOncY.
The concentration of troops at New
Greek and the preparations there for at
tack or siege, indicate that it is the inten-
ton of our military authorities 10 hold
that post against rebel investment. Peo-
pie have been used to accepting as gospel
the current assertion that New Creek is a
military point of great strength and i'm
POrtauce. Latterly, we have heard good
many men who claim no more than COM
mon unmilitary sense, expressing differ
ent opinion. 1t was just SO with Winches-
ter. We have been fighting for its occu-
Paucy ever since the war began, aud it has
cost US two or three severe battles. Ev-
erybody said the possession Of Winchester
was Indispensable to the protection of
Northern Virginia and tire Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Banks was driven from it
last season, but such was our ANXIETY for
the place, that as soon as the rebel army
was driven south after last Septem.
Oer's campaign in Maryland, troops were
thrown forward to occupy it; and ever
SINCE We have had a large force there in
the idle and prO6tless occupation of torti.
Tying. AS soon as large force is thrown
against the place it is found utterly indie
feasible, and the costly work of months
and all the artillery, munitions, &C.. all
lost, aud the garrison itself saved only by
desperate valor. Winchester is point of
no military strength, because it presents
NO front to the enemy. 1t can be attacked
from all sides. The country roundabout is

CAIRO, August 5.-The steamer Ruth, val
ued at $4,000, was burned at midnight at the
foot Of Island No. l.. Sine was bound for
Helena, and had ON board eight paymasters
and their clerks, with S2G00,000 in green
backs, to pay Gen Grants army. The fol-
lowing is Il list of the names Major u. ).

Meriden Hall, of Pennsylvania John ID.
Fork; Major w. w. White, of Burlington,
Iowa; u. S. Graves, clerk; Major, Geo.
Iilden, of Julesburg; d ID. Martin,
missing; Major j. W. Brigdane, of Erie;
j. w. W. Loomis, clerk; w. ii. Jameson OF
Boston, head slightly scorched 5. q. Camp

Wheeling, Va; ii G. Fletcher, clerk; Frank
.. Gilsby clerk Of the steamer, lost; TWO ne
gro deck hands, the chambermad, and col
ored woman and cabin passenger, lost.
The captain, the first and second clerks,
and all the rest Of the crew were saved. Thir-
ty.one soldiers OF Co. |, 9th Wisconsin, acted
as guard to the paymasters, under command
of Lieut. Courier. OF these one corporal and
four privates were lost and three killed by
stage plank falling on them while in the wa
ter. Altogether about thirty lives were lost.
The boat had aboard 80 herd of beef cattle,
l20 mules, 400 tons of commissary and suit
lers' stores, and about 100 tons OF private
freight, which were lost.
There were about 200 persons aboard. The
boat is insured for $4,000. The fire broke
out in the att part of boat, some say between
decks. others in the nursery room. As soon
as the hre was discovered, the boat was head
ed for the shore on the Missouri side, and
struck the bank with full force. The fire
having driven the engineers from their posts,
the engines consequently continued to work.
AS soon as she struck number Jumped
ashore, but her stern swung around down
stream, and as the engines were still working,
her bow was turned from shore and she again
started down the river. When she left shore
there were about thirty persons aboard, near
ly all of whom must have persisted.
The steamer Shinghess brought the passen-
gers saved to this city this morning. The
soldiers are said to have acted herocally, and
to have stood by the boxes containing the
money till it was certain that all was con-
sumed. The boxes were iron-bound and too
heavy to be removed; besides, the flames
spread all over the boat in less than five min
utes. There is nothing satisfactory as to how
the fire originated. 1t is believed, however,
to have been the work of en- incendiary in the
interest OF the rebel government.
