THE NEWS.

There is no war news from any quarter
With the exception Of operations before
Charleston. where matters are said 10 be pro-
crossing satisfactorily, all our forces seem TO
be enjoying brief season of rest preparatory
10 The fall campaign, the time for commencing
which is near at hand.
The Washington correspondents of the city
journals continue their ever varying specua-
iioDs and predictions in regard TO movements
of the armies of Meade and Lee, but they
amount to noihing. There are occasional col
Isio rs between the cavulry forces, growing out
OF reconnoisancts. but no general engagement
Sc ms probable for some time TO come.
Gen. Gilmore is said to have been re-en-
forced 10 an extent that renders his position
on Morris Island perfectly secure. aGd the
heavy but,erifs he is engaged in erecting il is
hoped will be able to reduce Sumter without
first taking Fort Wagner. The rebels evil
IDENTITY regard the city as in extreme peril.
Private advices from The Department of
Gen Rosecrans represent that he continues to
advance gradually toward Chattanooga. but
il is not likely general ErwarJ movement is
contemplated at present. The rebels ap
prehensive thai his intention is to march
through The State of Georgia TO Savannah.
As fnrloughs are being liberaly issued to
both officers and men by Gen. Grant, il is not
probable he anticipates any immediate agrees
i've movement on an extensive scale. The reb-
els insist that large proportion of his Iorce
is being sent TO Meade
Banks is re capturing and occupying that
potion OF northwestern L uSiana temperate
ly absndoneci during the seige of Port Hud-
son. The rebel claim of IA victory in thai
Department is gruundless fabrication.
Gen. Burnside was al Lrxing, on, KY, few
DAYS ago, AID there is said to be considerable
activity in military affairs 10 that region,
which probably Indicates preparations for
movement against East Tennessee.
A recent reconnaissance under Maj War
den, OF Gen. RansOm's staff 10 Woudve, 20
miles from Naichez destroyed 5 locomotives,
43 platform and IL passenger cars, burned
rebel cotton factory at WoodviiIe; also cotton
and manufactured goods to the amount OF
100000.
Accounts from various rebel sources concur
in representing the greatest dependency and
gloom prevalent throug bout rebeldnm-aud
the late appeal Of JEFF. Davis to the soldiers,
the tone Of The rebel press, and the terrible
depreciation of their currency, aft ,rd addition
al proof of the desperate state of their afflirs
Without outside aid of some sort the whole
concern must speedily collapse.
The President in reply to letter from the
Governor OF New York states that the value
Of time and the requirements of the army de-
mand that the draft shall not be postponed
in that State, aud it will accordingly proceed
The report sent out from Washington last
week that the state of affairs between this
country and England rendered a war almost
inevitable, has been aulhoritativeIy CONTRA
dic!ed.

Vallandigham in his first epistle from Cana
da says he did not in all his journeyings through
the rebel States find single man, woman or
child who was not inAexibly determined to
fight to the bitter end for the attainment Of
their ohject-that is, the achievement of their
independence by separation from the North
ern States He manifestly is not close Ob-
server, or else, what is most probable, came in
contest with none but the rebel fire, eaters
A correspondent of the Chicago Times Tone
Of his special organs) declares the whole State
Of Mississippi is thoroughly subdued and most
Of the people ready TO return to their allegiance
TO the Government. The Richmond Enquirer
Richmond Examiner, aud the Mobile Register
all denounce in severe terms the people of thai
State for their haying manifesteda disposition
TO submit to the rightfui authority of the Gov
..rnmant The same feeling is acknowledged to
prevail to such an extent in North Carolina as
TO render speedy appliealio ion for restoration
To the Union highly probable-and in portions
Of Alabama, Geura ia, Louisiana, and through
out East Tennessee, it is equally notorious thai
he same state of affairs exists. The only way
TO restore the Union, and 10 secure peace, is
by conquering the rebels. When that is done
thoroughly and effcctually. they will be will.
ing to return to their allegiance and agree to
continued Union with the loyal States, and
not before.

Judge Rufus P. Ranuey, when in Ravenna
few days since, we have good authority
for saying, stated, that he would bet $50
that VallanGigham would get more votes in
Ohio than John Brough, exclusive Of the sol
diers vote" Judge RanDeys faith in the state
ment was tested on the spot, a gentleman of:
ering to take the bet, and as many more as
the Judge desired on the same proposition
but the Judge did not bet. Judge Ranney
does not greatly differ from the opinion of Cox
but he chooses another way to show he be-
lieves the same thing. There is very little
comfort in being a Valandighamer.- Raven

The Union meetings now being held through.
out the State are in point of Numbers in at
tendance and enthusiasm unparalleled since
the memorable days of 1910. The meetings
are in almost every case spontaneous uprising
Of the people en- masse and if signs indicate any,
thing the Union party of Ohio i'll achieve on
the second Tuesday Of October next one of
the grandest victories that has been witnessed
within her borders since the organization of
our State At Urbana. BeIlfontaine, Find
lay and KentoD, the meetings held the pas
week were such as were never before seen
in that section of the State. AT Urbana
the number iu attendance is estimated by re-
porters for the city press at 2O.OOO-one town
ship alone sent delegation of 6OO-and the
procession is said to have been nearly ten
miles long. At BellfoDtaine the demonslra-
tion was equally imposing. At each place
named the opposition had recently held CON
ventious, but the Union men out-uumbered
them Eve toone and expect to do as well at
the polls.

Conviction for Treason.

'Fhos. Z. Shack!eTIe, was tried for treason
in the o. S. Court at Louisville, Kentucky,
and convicted Judge Ballard pronounced
the sentence upon him on the 22d ult., 10
which he said:
In the exercise of that discretion, and IN
der full sense of my responsibility to God
and my country, l have concluded to spare
your life, but the magnitude Of your crime
demands that your punishment be severe
The judgement which I approve. and which
the Court now makes, is. that you be imprs-
oned and confued in the Jail of Jefferson
county, in the State Of Kentucky, for ten years
from this day, that you make your fine to the
United States by the payment to them of ten
thousand dollars, and that your slaves be free y
Thank God for that decision 1t will do
more thar great victory TO conquer the re-
bellion. A man Of great wealth, an exten-
sive STAKEHOLDER occupying high social posi-
lion, madly conspires against the life OF the
Government which protected him. He is in
dicted by a Grand Jury, in Slave State
is tried by Court and Jury ia a Slave State
is convicted as a traitor, and sentenced 10

years, and all his slaves to be free

Three Facts.

The New York riot turned up three curious
facts, which stand out so sharply that CONNECT
would dull their edge:
l. The detective policemen who arrested John
Q. Andrews, "of Virginia" the most conspic-
uous ring-leadRr in the assaults against the
negroes, found him in bed at midnight, by the
side Of negro woman, with whom he cohabit-
ed.
2. These detectives say that when he was
nabbed he protested agains his arrest as "un-
constitutional"
3. They say also he confessed that his speech
to the mob was the identical speech which lie
made at Fernando Woods late peace meeting
in this city.-Ner0- York Independent.

The President is determined to carry into
effect his recent order relative to the retalia-
tion upon prisoners of war. He has ordered
that three prisoners from South Carolina shall
be held in close confinement as hostages for
three negro seamen captured OF the gunboat
Isaac Smith. and who are now in prison at
Charleston. All other prisoners, whether
white or black, treated by the enemy in
manner not applicable to prisoners of war,
will be equally represented by southern men,
Mr. LiucOn is determined that negroes in the
military and naval service shall be treated the
same as white men.

This war of the rebellion has been sauguin.
ary enough to fill the whole land with mourn
ing, and yet there have been wars far more de-
structive of life. 1t appears from the best his
toricai testimony, that of one million two hun
dred thousand men enrolled in the armies oI
France in 1913, only one hundred thousand
were alive in 1914, and that the loss of the AL
lied Powers in the wars with Napoleon was
according to the London Times, not less than
"ten millions of men in the prime of life
France in the same period, lost about six mil
lions.

The Canadians do not all agree with their
distinguished guest as to the prospects of the
inal success of the rebels. Vallaudigham. in
his first episile from the Clifton House, de-
clared the rebels have at no time since the
CONNER cement of the war been in a better
rendition for accomplishing the success of their
undertaking than at present. The 1Orout"
Globe thinks differently. 1t regards the
recent order of JET Davis for levy
en- nrasse of all able bodied men between the
ages of Is and As as affording abundant
proof OF the desperate position Of the Confed-
eracy," and adds: "The contest is hencelortb
unequal, ard with the most ordinary good
management on the part of the Washington
Govern neut, ought to be finished in yea
from this time"
The rebels themselves also differ with their
Northern champion. The brilliant operations
OF our armies during the month of July
which resulted in tie destruction or capture OF
nearly one hundred thousand Of their men. the
luss Of their stronghod4 on the Mississippi, thu
col quest of the greater portions of the State
of Mississippi anl Tennessee, and the capture
of cannon. small arms, ammunition and sup
plies in almost unlimited quantity, they re-
gard as some what weakening them, aud their
papers speakers and chief officials d. not hes
itate to acknowledge their situation as almost
desperate sHd their prospects OF success,
gloomy indeed. Vallandigham. however, sees
ii dfftrently-he is both hopeful and boastful
and bodily avows his belief that ihey possess
the power to triumph over the Government,
and that their Efforts will be crowned witt,

The latest news from Charleston states that
about one thousand sailors were engaged in
erecting shore batteries bearing on Sumter. 1t
is said that Gen Gilmore could take Battery
Wagner at any time but the fire from Fort
Sumter makes it untenable. Hence the ne
eessity of siIencing the fort, after which Wag-
ner and every other forlifcarion will be occu-
pied. The Charleston papers admit that the
fall Of that place will be the most disastrous
event of the war, and, Judging from the tone
Of their editorials, have but little hopes of be-
ing able TO hold out.
