- Colambus Journal
While the Cleveland Leader and kin
dred Abolition sheets are daily sending
forth their lamentations and appeals il
behalf of the "contrabands," and are now
urging upon the next Congress to make ap'
propriations for their especial benefit, a
poor white woman whose husband was
killed in this "cruel war;" dies from star
walton, in Columbus, the capital of the
great State of Ohio, and the home OF the
father Of greenbacks, i'm a city that has
grown rich out Of the war, and where
shoddy rolls in splendor and fares sumptu-
ously every day. But what of that ?
There is no political capital to be made in
urging charity for the poor, starving white
people--the negro is the trump card now,
and must be played for the Presidential
election.
There was a "greenback" wedding in
Washington city few days ago, And
shoddy was theye in royal splendor. Dia-
monds flashed from the brows of beauty
and costly silks and satins reflected back
the brilliancy of golden chandeliers. The
bride stood forth in her costly robes, be-
decked with rare jewels and sparkling
with diamonds, the admired of all admir-
ers, And yet, while this brilliant and
costly scene was being enacted in Wash
ington, in Columbus, the recent home of
that richly adorned bride, a poor woman
"a soldiers widow,--was starving to
death. The value Of one of the smallest
diamonds that flashed on the brow of that
gaudily attired bride, would have saved
the life Of the poor soldiers widow, and
made her comfortable; but, alas amid all
that gay throng, there, were no thoughts
of the suffering poor. Shoddy has grown
rich on the blood and ruin>of his country,
and his heart is closed to charity and>steeled
to tales of pity and suffering. But shoddy
ranks with the "royalists" of our land
now. Times have sadly changed, and
honest men are no longer found in the
councils of the nation. Oh the terrible
retribution that will sooner or later be Wis
tied upon the soulless, corrupt men who
have amassed wealth out of the blood and,
ruin of the country, and brought misery
and starvation upon innocent women and
children.

Hon. G. l.. VallandIgham.

A correspondent of the Democratic
Standard published at Anderson, Indi-
ana, writing from Ann Arbor, Michigan,
makes the following allusion to Hon. G.
l.. VALLANDIGHAM. lie first speaks of
the visit of the students Of the michigan
State University" to Windsor, and of
the address delivered to them by Mr. VAL
LANDIeHAM, and says:
Il have always been most enthusiastic ad-
mirer OF the man; but upon making his ae-
quaintance, my fondest expectations were
more than realized / found in him not only
the shrewd adrot politician, but the courte-
Gus gentleman, the eminent scholar, and the
christian statesman. What wide difference
between him and his petty and cowardly re-
vilers and trsducers High above the mis-
cradle hords of placemeD and catering dema-
gogues, who are ever ready to bow the servile
knee to the elevated cap of every Gesler, and
for what that they may be granted the slav.
ish boon, of basking in the sunshine Of Execu-
tive favoritism (Greenbacks.) he stands the
true exponent of principles, well founded and
Just, instead of men, and with his character
istic fearessness he denounees the "minions
ol uhufpeu power anu WIN nls lnhgnamlty
of soul, he challenges to honorable debate all
who honestly differ with him.
He is biding his time
Sand time sets all things oven"
Let not his enemies lay the fattaring une-
tiOn to their souls that be is dead
"That not their trespass but his madness speaksi
IL viii bat skin and film the ulcerous place"
The great, warm patriotic heart of the coun-
try beats in unison, with that of the patriot
exile. His noble and unselfsh sacrifices for
constitutional liberty, his untiring labors in
behalf of his distressed countrymen will sur
yiye the mutations of time, and aa the memo.

The Cost.

More than 100000 pounds of solid
shot and shell, and over $4,000 pounds
of powder have been expended on Sumter
by General GILLMoRE's batteries. Uncle
Sans bill for ammunition used against
the rebel stronghold already amounts to
over 100000. Every "Greek Fire"
shell thrown at the cradle of the rebellion
costs 81 AS, and every five shells bursts a
