Alex. II. stephens Speech.

On our first page we publish part
of Alex. II. Stephens speech, delivered
in tho Georgia Secession Convention
1t settles the question as to who is re-
sponsiblc for the war, and gives the lie
direct to those lick-spittle politicians
who proclaim that the North arc re.
sponsible, and that the South had any
just cause for rebellion. Mr.. Stephens
spoke to the South like prophet, tell
ing them that they would have their
"ldSt Sldue wrenched from them By stern
military rule" or by "decree Of unirer-
sal emancipation which may reasonably
be expected 10 Gollow.' But he was un
able to calm the storm of passion and
madness which swept over the South
They had gone mad, and we bolicv'
that nations as we'll as individuals car
go crazy. How true that saying of tn,
ancicnts, whom the gods wish to dc
stroy they first make mad.

NO DRAFT IN OHIO.

Gov. Tod in his speech delivered at
Springfield last week, made the follow
ing statement concerning the draft:
1t was supposed that the draft would
be heavy in Ohio. The Secretary of
War thought it would be $4,000, but
when he camo to look at the number
Ohio had sent into the field, it was found
to be from $4,000 to 10000 in excess of
her quotas, leaving her but from 5000
to 5000 to raise on the present levy |!
The way this happened is, that instead
of taking nine months men and hav-
ing the job to do over again, I called
for men for three years or during the
war, while Pennsylvania took nine
months men and has the job to do over.
Ohio should and will most cheerfully
submit to the draft, and furnish, now
or hereafter, her full share of support
to the Government Applause.

Intelligence oftho Army.

1t is common for the \ allandigham
press aud speakers to represent that
the soldiers are imposed upon by their
officers, and that they are not allowed
to understand the issues before the
country, We believe that the soldiers
to-day arc the most intelligent body o.
voters in the country. The slavery
question and all the issues of the war
arc daily brought home to them, anc
made practical, while the home voters
arc deceived by demagogues, theorists
and catch political phrases. The sold
iers too, can we'll see who sustains then
while in the field, Brough or Vallan
digham.

Ba- The gloomiest picture of affairs
in the Southern Confederacy that we
have seen, is that given by the New
York World, and derived from a gen.
tlcman who escaped from Richmond a
few days since. He says there is a
general feeling that the rebel cause is
utterly hopeless-that the army is de-
moralized, and the country full of de-
serters-while the frantic appeals of
Lee and jeff. Davis are disregarded.-
Davis is a confirmed invalid, tottering
like the Southern Confederacy, near
his grave. There is still a faint hope
among the rebels, in France, but it is
aided by those who have Confederate
currency on hand, and are anxious to
shove it off before it becomes absolute
ly worthless. There is no reason to
doubt the authenticity of the New York
Worlds Richmond news.-Cin. Com.

DD- The Greek fire shell in use at
Charleston is, we learn, the invention,
patented few months since of citi-
zen of Buffalo, and adopted by tho
Government. The base Of the terrible
agent is petroleum, chemically COM
bined with other highly infammable
ingredients, the whole forming an utter-
y inextinguishable compound, which
once ignited, burns triumphant over
all ordinary means Of quenching fire,
burns even in water, and can only be
put out by being burned out. This
fearful war agent is contained in light
metallic chamber, inclosed in the COM
mon form of a percussion shell, that,
itself discharged by striking the object
aimed at, ignites the fire, which isscat'
tered broadcast.

A ssA.m. to Elect vall.nd,sh.m.

We invite the attention ofour read
crs to an article on our first page dis.
closing an infamous scheme tor the
election of yallandigham. There may
be something in It, as we believe the
vallandigham leaders desperate and
wicked enough TO do anything. II
will do no harm for the Union men to
watch every new man who comes into
the county, and to see whether he at.
tempts TO vote.

Yes, YOU did prophecy disunion. and,

Yes, you did prophecy disunion, and,
as the Cincinnati Gazette says, your
party did their best to fulfill it. Now
let us see whether this same logic does
not hold the South and Mr.. Pugh's
party responsible for the war, The
people of the North prophesied that if
Southern aggression continued and if
the Democratic party allowed itself to
be used in the interest of Slavery, that
evil war would be the result. "Now,"
to use Mr. Pugh>s own words, 'there
is no prophecy or holy writ more com
pletely fulfilled than that" Mr.. Pugh's
logic leads to just this, that whenever
he or any Southern fre-eater rises up
and proclaims that the election of a
certain man or the adoption of GER
tain measure will produce rebellion,
the people, the majority, are not to vote
their sentiments. They are to becowcd
and compelled to submit to an in
solent and refractory minority by the
constant threat Of rebellion and civil
war.
Again, Mr.. Pugh's stock in politics
at present consists in ''free speech" and
"free person. But in 1856 when the
territorial laws of Kansas were un-
der consideration in Congress, Mr..
Pugh, then in the Senate, defended the
following provision:
IF any free person, by speaking Or
writing assert or maintain that persons
have not the right to hold SLAVES in this
Territory, or shall introduce into this
Territory, print, publish, write, or cir
culatc, or cause to be introduced into
this Territory any book, paper, maya
zine, pamphlet, or circular, containing
any denial Of the right of persons to hold
SlareS in this Territory, such persons
shall bc doomed guilty Of felony, and
punished by Imprisonment at hard la
Dor for a term of not less than two
years. Laws of Kansas.
Mr.. Pugh defended this provision il
the following words:
Sir: I regret the necessity for sucl
legislation but wherercr slavery e.rist
as an institution, lars of that chdracte
must be adopted.
Now, Mr.. Pugh is on the Copper
head ticket because, in his opinion
Mr.. Vallanaigham has been banishe'
for exercising freedom of speech. y
Let us apply Mr.. Pughs own logic t
tho arrest and punishment of Mr. Val
landigham: Sir, we regret the nccos
sity of such arrests, but wherever mil
itary departments arc established an
men arc found within such depart
ments weakening and interfering wit
tho operations of tho Army, measure
of that character must be adopted.
These men can defend the most il
famous measures when proposed in I'll
interest of the South or Of a party, bl
. when severe measures are adopted
save the Government from overthro,
they raise tho howl of "tyranny" an
of violated liberty.

Captain stinchcomb at Cnrdington, o.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writing from Cardington, o.,
tells the following:
At the other stand n soldier of two
years standing made two hours
speech. His name is Captain Stinch-
comb, an old Democratic stumpper,
formerly of this county, and latterly
of Fairfield county. He whales the
Butternuts with his fist and skins them
with his tongue. He greatly interested
the people, He whipped a Copper.
head during the last fifteen minutes
before commencing his speech, under
the following circumstances A Val
landighammer was saying that the sol
diers were waging id Abolition
war-a war for freeing the negroes
Capt. Stinchcomb said to him:
"Well, what Of it?"
Butternut.-"It is an Abolition wal
for freeing tho negroes and making
them equal with white men,"
Stinchcomb,-'I don't fear them be
comingequal to myself my children.
Butternut.-"Well, you are engaged
in a id pretty business anyhow
fighting for the niggers."
Capt. Stinchcomb brought his fis
into solid contact with the Butternut
head, brought him on his knees, sec
ond blow felled him, and one or TIVE
extras satisfied both parties, whoreupol
the Captain proceeded to the stand anC
spoke two hours, as if he had not jus
whipped the fortieth copperhead.

The Butternuts have been very in
dustrious in circulating q report that
on the night of the fire we advised the
crowd to slot DR.. Olds' store burn, as
he was nothing but a Butternut. -
This is simply Buttcrnut lie. 1t cod
have originated only in the ignorant
and weakly malignant brain of a But
tcrnut. In a time like that of last
Thursday night, we know no politics,
nor think of any, 1fDr, Olds' proper
ty were on fire, we would work as
heartily to suppress the fla mes, as we
would work in politics to suppress the
owncr. The facts are, that Mr.. Work S
building was the point of danger, be-
ing only about twenty feet from the
fire; that it caught repeatedly; that
we carried water for nearly an hour tC
prevent its burning; and that we said
nothing about DR.. Olds' store, nor
thought of it. We arc compelled tC
make this statement in order to stop q
malignant lie, which the Butternuts
are circulating to injurc us. There arC
numbers of these men who would dc
anything to excite the rowdics of The
city to mob us and burn us out, bu
when pinned down, they shift the res
possibility of the falsehood to thu

When the rebel batteries opened on
Major Anderson in Fort Sumpter, in
April, 1861, giving him only half
hours notice, the wharfs, house tops
and windows of Charleston were crowd
cd with southern "ladics and gentle

ofthe war, and waving their handker-
chiefs and hats. We advise them now
to select another point Of observation
if they desire to witness Gen. .Gillmore's
pyrotechnic display.

Gen. Beauregard charges Gen, Gill
more with inhumanity for throwing
shells into Charleston at a distance of
five miles Well, the people of Charles
ton have known for some months that
there were number of shell and shot
outside whose destination was Charles
ton, and if they don't want to be hurt,
why don't they get out of the way
We are willing to admit that Gen. Gill
more should throw shells according to
the forms of the constitution. He ought
not to do anything unconstitutional, as
the rebels have a tender regard for
that instrument, and aIe in constant
fear that it will be violated. People
who live in brick and wooden houses
ought not to make war.
1t sounds bad for Gen. Beaurcgard q
to talk about humanity. A number
of our.colorcd soldiers with their white
officers were murdered in cold blood
after being taken prisoners, at the frs
assault on Battery Wagner.
Inhumanity! We have often heart
of throwing shell, but we 'never hearC
it called by that name before"

who has kept q coffee saloon on King street, was
brought before the Police Court last week, charged
witb:.seliiug liquor in violation of the law, and fined
S262 so snd costs. On Monday Mr.. Somers, en-
ployed in the same saloon. was tried for the same
odense. and fined SI25 and costs. There is no ex-
cuss for any one in violating the liquor law, and the
penalty in both cases is just. Foreigners who come
here and carry on business in open defiance of the law,
must expect to pay the penalty involved; for this is,
and We trust may long remain. a law-abidiDg country,
where the rights of every man are guarded by the
courts.
In passing, VIC must say that the Police Justice
made some comments in the above cases, which
struck his hearers as out Of place, and tending to
excits prejudice against the prohibitory law, which,
TO say the least, we're unbecoming in n magis-
trate. The laws should never be held up to public
rdicule. whatever may be the private views of the
judge administering them. Ii ne is unable to discern
