WooL.-According to the New York

by the last Congress, and shows the
great injustice done to the Western
Wool Growers by the late Republican
Congress. Hadthe Eastern manufac-
turers (the getters up of this tariff
been as HONEST as they profess to be
LOYAL, (for it was under the tyrant cry
of "LoYALTY" these oppressive and
CORFU measures were carried through
Congress and forced upon the people,
the tariff law when excluding the i'm
portation of MANUFACTURED woolens
should have also excluded the impor-
tation of RAW WOOL and then all would
have been served alike, and if all liked
it. then so far so we'll. But this ini-
quitous tariff was not only as we have
stated, forced through Congress under
the cry of "loyalty," but for fear the
Western agriculturalists might com
plain and expose the injustice, these
manufacturers secured military orders
in the West, declaring it TREAsoNABLE
to denounce the revenue laws, as they
were part of the acts of the Govern
ment, "adopted to put down the rebel
lion" The Columbus Crisis in speak
ing on this subject says: "We suppose
for writing this article exposing the
Yankee trick land only one in thou
sand) upon our Western farmers, we
come under the military law, and the
cry will go forth as usual, suppress
The Crisis before the Editor tells more
trnths about us. He will defeat our
cause, and we had better submit to a
TEMPORARY MILITARY DEspoT1sM than
have our acts exposed"
The present wool clip of Harrison
county should average 81 y lb; and if
our wool growers do not receive that
price, they can lay the blame no where
else but on the last Republican Con-
gress, which passela a law that foreign
woods should come into the United
States free of duty; and that a heavy
tariff should be paid on all manufactu-
red woolen goods. They should also
recollect that all laws passed by any
party in opposition to the Democratic
party, (no difference by what name
it may be called, are always favorable
to capital and monopolies and in oppo-
sition to the agricultural and mechan-
ical interests Of the country.
n@g~ The 98th Ohio are now at Tri-
une, Tennessee, as we learn by let
ter from Colonel Poorman to the Bel
mont Chronicle. The Colonel favors
consolidating the old regiments, and
either muster out of service the sur
plus officers or transfer them to new
commands. He is opposed to placing
new men in old regiments. So are
we. Old troops are seasoned, and 1t
would take long time to get new
ones equal to them. The Colonel has
the following item in his letter, which
coming from some people, would not
be considered loyal, but coming from
a rank Abolitionist, we suppose it may
be considered very loyal:-
There are large number of regi-
mcnts here, but they are nearly all
small ones, AMI the effective force is
much smaller than appearances would
indicate. Gen. Gilberts command is
composed of six regiments, divided in
to two brigades--in order TO make dl-
vision Of it.-for no General likes to
command less than division, ifhe is
only entitled to the rank and pay Of a
| Captain-and has less than two thou
sand effective enlisted men for duty.
One Brigadier with six staff officers,
two Colonels commanding brigades,
and six regimental organizations, for
two thousand men. Is there any
wonder that this war is costing SO
much money.
Have we not "beautiful admins
tration?" A very economical, saving
one? One that is not only looking to
the interest Of the army, but also to
that of the people? But we will say
this much for Col. Poorman, that he
is the greatest grumbler in the service
-he is eternally grum5ling.
?. S. Since writing the above, we
learn from private letters that Colonel
Poorman has resigned and come home.
When we read his letter to the Aboli>
ton meeting in St. ClairSville short
time since, we thought his patriotism
would soon run out, andwe have not
been disappointed. Colonel Pearce
now has command of the Regiment
