country has gone to. The Pittsburg banks
lr their fright, answered the question in
part, which hes been often asked, by ship
ping on the 5th, $I5,OOOOOO in gold to
Cleveland. The gold of the country is in
tie vaults Of the banks, while their paper
is in the hands of the people.
New York FREEMAN's JoUREAL.-The
agent of this paper, T. NJ. Gilmartip, ESQ,
called upon us the other day. Truth com
pelS US to say that the Freeman's Journal
is one Of the bcldest and most patriotic
champions of Democratic princiI les in the
country. Its editor, ]. a. McMaster, Esq,
Is well known as a man Of unflinching po-
litical integrity-and though be was lock-
cd up in loathsOme Bastie for months by
the Administration for daring to express
his sentiments freely through his journal,
it did not daunt him in the least. His
paper is as firm as ever and Iashes the
violators Of the constitution with renewed
energy.
BSThe Chicago Tribune says that at
an abolition pow-wow at Fulton, on the
fourth, Rev. Benjamin Close pronounced
the benediction, and he did it in these
words: May God Almighty now bless and
6aally save this audience, and all loy-
al people," ...
That reminds us of prayer that Que of
the same class of self-pious ministers put
up some time ago. lie did it in these
words: God, l thank Thee that an not
as other men, even as this publican"
Of course the Tribune indorses the
preachers benediction as "good thing"
LOYAL LEAGUERs.-A census has been
taken of one of the lodges of Loyal Lea
guers in Philadelphia. 1t consisted of 533
members, as follows:
Contractors l77
Ohceholders 43
Administration editors lS
Those who support themselves:
Retired rich men 50
Bankers and brokers %
Railroad and canal officers 10
Only seven of the crowd have Gone any
thing in military way to put down the
rebellion.
This enumeration will hold good among
Loyal Leaguers everywhere.
R3rThe Abolition leaders will no doubt
repudiate their man Conway, since be has
made fau1 pas in his mission on their
behalf to England, but it is useless for
them to deny that be fairly represented
their secret sentiments. The war, so far
as they are concerned, is a malignant war
against slavery, without regard to whether
the Union be broken into two or fifty
pieces.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-On last FRIDAY
morning cattle train on the Chicago g.
st. Louis railroad ran into the rear of
another cattle train on the same road,
about 5 miles below Wilmington, smash
ing the engine and rowdy car, and instant.
ly killing two drOVers, named D, G. Gates
and P. Stout. The unfortunate men were
from Morgan county. The fog was so
dense that the engineer could see but
few feet ahead, hence the casualty. Corr
oner DAILY he'd an inquest, and the verdict
was accordant with the above facts.

HOme.-The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the commit
tee of ways and means in congress, in
letter to his constituents, recently publshA
ed in the New York Tribune, uses the fol-
lowing language:
Abolition yes. abolish eUerytling on tile
face ofthe earth but this Union; free every
slave--Slay every traitor-bmn every rebel
mansion, ifthese things be necessary to
preserve this temple Of freedom to the
world and to our pOsterity. Unless zee do
this ace cannot conquer them.
Now a letter from Lancaster, Pa, to this
same Tribune, says:
Hon. Thad Stevens has Just learned that
the rebels have destroyed his extensive iron
mills near Gettysburg and stolen his teams.
His lOes is OveE 100000. including mOet
Of bis fortune.
