RaIriOtic LetterfrOm General ROseerans.
Governor Tod sent to the General As
sembly on Tuesday, this following spirited
and patriotic letter from General Rose
Grams It has the right ring to it:
HEADorARTERs DEPT. OF THE CUMBERLAND
MURFREEsBORo,' Tenn, Feb. 3.
f" To the honorable, the General Assembly
Of hs State Of Ohio:
The resolution Of thanks passed By
your honorable body, to the army Of the
Cumberland, its Commanding General and
his staff, has been duly received and pub
lished to the troops of this command On
behalf of aI, return you my heartfelt
thanks.
"This is indeed war for the mainten-
ance of the Constitution and the laws
nay, for national existenee-sgainst those
who have despised our honest friendship,
deceived our just hopes, and driven US to
defend our country and our homes. By
foul and wilfnl ISLANDERS on our motives and
intentions, persistently repeated, they
hsve arrayed against us our fellow citi-
zens, bound to us by the triple ties Of con-
sanguinity, geographical position, and
eommercislinterest.
Let no man among US be base enough
TO forget this, or fool enough to trust an
oligarchy of traitors to their friends, 10
civil liberty and human freedom. VOlun-
tary exiles from home and friends, for the
defense and safety of all, we long for the
time when gentle peace shall again spread
her wings over our land bat we know no
such blessing is possible while the unjust
and arbitrary power of the rebel leaders
eonfronts and threatens us. Crafty as the
fox, cruel as the tiger, they cried mo CO.
ercion while they were preparing to strike
u.s. Bully-like, they proposed to fight US
because they said they could whip five to
one and now, when driven back, they
whine out no invasion, and promise us
Of the West permission to navigate the
Mississippi, if we will be good boys, and
do as they bid us.
Whenever they have the power, they
drive before them into their ranks the
Southern people, and they would also drive
us. Trust them not. We're they able,
they would invade and destroy us without
mercy. Absolutely assured OF these things
am amazed that any one thinks of peace
on any terms He who entertains the
sentiment is fit only to be slave; he who
utters it at this time is, moreover, traitor
to his county, who deserves the scorn and
contempt of all honorable men. When the
power Of the unscrupulous rebel leaders is |
removed and the people are free to consid-
er and act for their own interests, which |
are common with ours under this Govern
ment there will be no great difficulty in
Between our tastes and |
social life there are fewer differences than |
between those of the people of the northern |
and southern provinces of England and |
Ireland. Hoping the time may speedily |
come when the powers of the perfdious and |
cruel tyrant of this rebellion having been |
peace may be laid on the |
broad foundation of national unity and |
equal justice to all, under the COnstitu-
tiOn and laws,
1 remain your fellow-eitizen,

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Feb. u.
Morning papers contain hardly an item
of news additional to the regular associat-
ed press dispatches received last night.
Times dispatch:
Reconnaissance made by Colonel Wynd-
ham as far as Manassas and Smokers 8
Gaps, and to the Rappahannock River,
shows that there are no armed rebels this
side of the stream, with the exception of
few of Whites guerrillas who hover
about Leesburg.
The proprietors of newspapers published
here, including those of some Of the lead
ing New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Western papers, had an interview with
the Committee of Ways and Means to-day
with regard to the repeal of paper duty.
No definite results weae reached, but the
prospects are more favorable.
The British bark SPringbOk, from Lon
don for Nassau, arrived this evening in
charge Of prize crew from the United
States gunboat Sonoma. She was captured
on the Sd off the Bahamas in consequence
of having some articles on her manifest
which the Captain could not account for.
The officers of the Sonoma report that
when off the Bahamas, on the first, they
saw steamer to windward lying to, ap-
parently waiting for her to come up. She
proved to be the pirate Florida As soon
as she made out what the Sonoma was she
turned tail. The Sonoma chased her SO
hours, but the superior speed of the pirate
enabled her to escape.

The Plans for the Reduction of Vicksbnrg.
General German, with about FIVE hun
dred men, carrying pickaxes and shOvels,
has been sent by General Grant to Yazoo
Pass, six miles below Helena and near
Delta, on the Mississippi shore, to cut the
levee built across the bayou or pass lead
ing from the Mississippi river into the
Coldwater, about fifteen miles above its
mouth. The water south of the levea is
about ten feet below water level of the
Mississippi at its present stage, cOnse-
quently the destruction of the levee at this
point will at once result in the overflow of
the country for fifty miles in every direc-
tion, and open nsvigable channel for or
binary boats TO the COldWater, thence to
the Tallahatohie and to the Yazoo.
A navigable channel will thus be opened
to the rear of Vicksburg, in a direction
which is not fortified by the rebels, and
nothing to prevent our mosquito feet from
moving Immediately into the Yszoo and
taking possession Of the rebel steamers
that run the river.

MORNING LEADER.


tA-luAAA AlnaHllNAf
The death Of Nicholas Longworth, Of
Cincinnati, deserves 3 passing notice
he had become famous for his horticultu-
raj taste and experiments, and especially
FOR his grapes and wines. he was born
at Newark, New Jersey, in 1888. He re-
moved many years ago to Cincinnati,
where he founded strawberry culture as q
business. BE was also The leader in the
gFape-groEing ranks. He made the Ca
tawba famous, and was never weary Of
experimenting to secure better grape
than that. He had resided at Cincinnati
since 1904. BE was a liberal patron Of the
arts and Of deserving artists. It is relat-
ed OF him that few years ago he saw a
notice in Eastern papers of an artistic
snow statue made by a Vermont boy,
whose address was given. Mr.. Long
worth anonymously sent the boy money
with which to buy tools and marble, that
he might carve statues in material more
durable thar Snow.
As an illustration Of the way Mr.. Long
worth made his immense fortune, g me-
mOir in the gThe Cincinnatian" Of ls52re-
lates the following story, having promised
that he was poor when he went to that
city, but acquired property by dealing in
land:
aAs a, .,or,-,1o - H. f,.;t;+ ;.t,
which small amounts, comparatively, Sc
cured what has since become of immense
value, it may be stated that Mr.. Long
worth once received as a legal fee, from a
fellow accused Of horse stealing, and who
had nothing else to give, two second hand
copper stills. These were in charge of
joel Williams, who kept tavern adjacent
to the river, and who was a large property
holder here in early days. On presenting
his order, Mr.. Williams told Longworth he
could not let the stills CO. for he was just
building q distillery in Butler county, but
he would give him a lot Of thirty-three
acres on Western Row in Lew Of the ar
ticles. Mr.. LongWorth, whose view Of the
value of property here was always in ad-
vance of public opinion, gladly closed with
the proposal. These thirty-three acres oc-
cupied a front on Western Row from Sixth
to Seventh streets, running west for guam
tity, and this transaction alone, taking
into view the prodigious advance in real
estate here, would of itself have furnished
the basis of an immense fortune, the naked
ground being now worth nearly two mil
lions Of dollars.
HMr. Longworth went on adding lot to
lot, acre to acre, in this mode, until, al
though he has sold more lands and lots
than any man in Cincinnati, he is still the /
largest la1dholder in the city.
What Mr.. LongwOrths property is |
worth, is rather difficult TO determine but 1
as his taxes for 1850 were upward of sew
enteen thousand dollars, the largest sum
paid by any individual in the United !
States, William B. AstOr excepted, whose
taxes for the same year were twenty-three /
thousand one hundred and sixteen dollars, /
the presumption is that there are few in |
dividuals Of higher reputed wealth in the
United States. If, however, he were
man Of wealth and nothing more, this no
tice would not have appeared in these
pages"

The GRAND JURY's REPORT ON THE Cox
DITIoN OF THE JAIL.-As is customary, the
Grand Jury made an examination of the
County Jail, and reported as to its condition,
previous to being discharged. They com
mend the discipline and order that prevail,
and speak well of the management. They,
however, find fault with the condition in
which they found the bedding, which they
report as being old and filthy in the extreme.
The present Sheriff, who has had control of
the Jail but for short time, found the bed
ding in the condition in which it now is. He
applied to the County Commissioners to fur
nish the Jail with new bedding in place of
the old, which has been in use for several
years, and was informed that it was expected
of the Sheriff to furnish proper bedding.
This, we are assured, has not been the Gus
tom heretofore, the bedding having been
furnished by the county. Some arrange
ment should be arrived at by which the Jail
could be furnished with decent bedding. The
Sheriff considers it unfair that he should be
required to do what none of his predecessors
have done.

CONGRESSIONAL.


! AObohs
The Naval Appropriation bill debate was
resumed on Culverts amendment that no
part of the appropriation should be ex-
pended for the pay or maintenance Of the
sixteen acting midshipmen appointed du-
ring the recess of Congress by the Secre-
tary of the Navy, in violation Of law, and
that they be discharged from the Naval
Academy in consequence of their illegal
appointment.
Culvert, Wadsworth and Washburn de-
nounced strongly the action of the Secre-
tary of the Navy as a gross Outrage upon
the rights Of members who were author
ized to make the nominations.
Sedgwiek and F. A. Conkling defended
the Secretary of the Navy, and the latter
called attention to a statement of the Sec
retary that the appointments were made
with the full authority of law, and that
the condition Of the country would not per-
NIT compliance with previous usages.
Various other gentlemen participated in
the debate, when the amendment was
agreed to, As against 46.
Stevens offered an amendment that here
after, while this rebellion lasts, each Con-
gressional district in the loyal States shall
have one additional midshipman, to be ap-
pointed as heretofore on nomination of
member Of the House, and the delegates in
the present House shall each be entitled to
one additional midshipman.
Amendment agreed to.
Without coming to a conclusion on the
bill, the Committee rose, and the House
adjourned.
.H SENATE.
The consideration Of the bank bill was
continued.
Howard, Davis and Carlile spoke against
and Wilson of Massachusetts, and Doolittle
spoke in favor Of it.
The Senate then adjourned, with the un-
derstanding that a vote should be taken at
10 clock tomorrow.

Washington dispatch Of the 10th says
that on that day caucus of Republican
Senators was held in the Senate Chamber,
before the meeting Of that body for the
daily session. Aftera brief organization,
the subject-matierd discussed was the course
which the Senate should take on the reve-
latiOns OF Secretary Stewards pretended
correspondence with NJ. Mereier, French
Minister, prior to his departure for Rich
mond, last summer. Some Of the Senators
were for the most radical measures, but
after debate, more conservative counsels
prevailed, and It was finally determined
that the following resolution, which was
subsequently adopted in the Senate, would
elicit the information sought:
ResOEOsd That the President Of the
United States be requested, if not, in his
Judgment incompatible with the public
interest, to lay before the Senate any cor
respondence which has taken place be-
tween this Government and the Govern
ment st France, on the subject Of media
tion, arbitration, or other measures look

Dimculfy Between Generals Bragg ana
BrecEfurfdae

DimeuIfy Between Generals Bragg aud
Breekinridse.
The Nashville Union publishes an ac-
count of deadly fsud that exists between
Bragg and Breckinridge The former,
not long before the battle of Stone River,
cOurt-martialed a private in Breckin-
ridges division for some trivial ofFense,
and ordered him to be shot Breckinridge
protested, and the war of words led to his
arrest by Bragg. The Kentuckians were
up in arms instanter. The news of the
arrest few like wild ire throughout the
Kentucky camps, and created storm of
excitement and indignation. Company
after company rushed out aud stacked
their arms, refusing TO obey any orders
until their General was released. Revolt
and secession were the watchwords of the
Kentucky troops at that time. A most
alarming condition of affairs existed in
the rebel army, and Bragg, not daring to
proceed any further, telegraphed to JEFF
Davis to come and settle the broil. Davis
came and Breckenridge was released, but
the soldier was shot The difficulty was
still not settled and Bregg, in solemn ST.
lenee, waited for a chance to revenge him I
self At MuTfreesboro', after he had fully
determined to retreat he ordered Breckin-
ridge, on Saturday night with deyilish re-
fnement Of malice, TO make an attack on
our lines, which he must have known
would be unsuccessful Breckinridge and
his Kentucky troops Obeyed the order, and
we're repulsed with q shocking loss. They
were literally cut to pieces. The only
thing which Bragg regretted was that
Breckinridge was not left on the feld, and
that his division was not exterminated.
he had exposed them to the Federal bat
teries with the same purpose that King
David exposed Uriah to the armies Of the
Philisines, and was ready to ease the pain
Of Confederate repulse with the thought
that the victims were only Kentuckians.

Specials from Cairo to-day:
The news from Vicksburg is to Satur-
day. The ram Queen of the West had re-
turned from below. The trip down the
river was most successful. She met three
steamers with provisions for the rebels st
Vicdsburg, and succeeded in sinking them.
She took about sixty prisoners, one a
Colonel. The ram went near enough to
Port Hudson to draw the fire from the up
