Capture or Federal Rams.

The most serious loss which the Fc-
'leral forces have sustained lately has
been the capture by the rebels of the
rams Queen ofthe West, and Indianola.
The ram was captured on the 18th nit.
up ked liver while engaging Fort
Taylor. She ran aground at that place.
All the cannon Of the Fort centred at
proved to much and she surrendered
after receiving considerable iniur, to
her machinery, and about half Of her
crew had escaped. She was i'm
ncdiate'y refiued and used by the
rebels with one Of their own rams. IN
attacking the Indianola TWENTY-FIVE
miles from Vicksburg, and obliging her
70 surrender. Fuller particulars Of the
capture Of the latter have not yet ar
rived.
This news is somewhat dispiri,ing to
the Federal cause, but if the passage of
the conscription act by Congress and
the reported call for GOO 900 more men,
Is not more than four fold as dispiri,ing
TO tie rebels, We are ready to hang our
harp on the willow, for season at least.

Oar loyal people must awake up, and
came forward to the support ofthe adj
mnis.ration. 1t needs just now the
cheerful support of every man who is a
friend to the government, friend to the
constitution and laws Of the United
States.
The rebels have some some little time
past, ard still arc relying for success
On their part, upon the disatfection
which is being created in the North.
They have almost entirely given up the
hope Of foreign intervention, and are
now looking for aid to those fools, aye,
TRAITORS in the north, who are con-
stan'ly finding fault with the govern
lncnt, and cndcayoring in every possible
manner they can, and at the same time
avoid arrest, to block the wheels Of
government, SO that the South will
achieve her desperate designs.
They receive great encouragement
from the cry Of Peace, and take it that
the people Of The North are getting tired
ct the war. THIS nerves them to re-
newea action and continued resistance
an: the consequence is the war is con-
timed, more battles are fought and
more Of our soldiers, who are fathers,
husbands, brothers and sons, are sho,
down in battle, MANNED for life, or
slckos, and die in hospitals, tan there
would il this deceptive and destructive
cry Of Peace had never been raised by
l.or,hefn traito,sfor southern encourage
mcnt and purposes.
This cry or Peace, now before the
rebels have lain down their arms, IS the
real wolf IN sheep sciuthing, it is satan
transformed into an angel OF light, it is
the stealing Of the livery of heaven to
serve the de>lish rebels with, and none
hut enemies a, heart to the government,
will raise it. Mark the man who cries
Peace and if he is sufficiently intel
lige,lt to be responsible for his own
actions, you mark rottenhear:ea
traitor, who deserves the same treat
mcnt at your lands, that the southern
rebels frequently get at the mouth Of
the loyalists cannon.
