ISDusTRY is TALEEr.-Here is 4
truth that ought to be firmly and in
efaceably enstamped on the heart o
every young man, to wit: Industry,
nine times out Of ten, is talent" Is il
not so? Who is It that accomplished
great things? Surely not ;he idler
however much nature may have done
for him. All great men are indus
trious-not an exception, perhaps
even seeming exceptions not real
Many man may not be seen busily
engaged with his hands yet his mind
may be intensely active, working out
great results. Natural talent may ef-
feet much-yet not much without in
dustry; and surely mediocrity effects
more with stern labor, indefatigable in
dustry, than does most brilliant idle
genius. Industry Is talent.--Maristta

~"Tauglefoot" must be in grea
demand up Ksnawhs, judging by the
quantities nightly leaving Gallipolis in
skiffs, canoes, &c. The Aid to the
Revenue seems powerless to prevent
it. Indeed so long as parties are al
lowed to dispose Of it ad H5itum, the
revenue officer can do nothing beyond
refusing permits to the very fen who
ask them for that purpose.
II it were not for the effect Of strYch-
nine whisLey on our own soldiers, We
would say, give it to the rebels. A
small boat at the mouth of Kahawha
might gobble up some oaCls, but SO long
as few favorites with officers are al
lowed permits, even against the wishes
of the "Aid to the Revenue" it is
hardly worth while to deprive the rank
and file OF a "wee drop" So ego

The Cincinnati Enquirer. on the l6ll

The Cincinnati Enquirer. on the 10th
day Of May. 1861, said:
"The first great duty is to put down
the rebellion and maintain the Union;
and our Southern brethren must make
up their minds that this IS going to be
done, and that those who fought so
hard to keep them in the Union by COM
promise, are going TO be the main and
most numerous instruments in the good
work. Nobody but traitors will refuse
to cast all of life and property into the
contest. There must be no mawkish
sensibility on the subject" sff
We most respectfully suggest the
above to the Democratic Convention,
soon to assemble in Gallipolis. They
could embody it in their resolutions
1t is "ready, cut, and dry for use."-
We publish it for their special benefit.
True. it smacks pretty strongly Of
Unionism, and points out the traitors.
But what oil that! Fallandigbam pro-
fesses to be for the Union. 1t might
be difficult for Union man "castinp
all Of life and property into the con-
test" with Val's boast that "he never
voted man nor dollar to carry on
the contest" but Pugh, Cox d Co.,
can do it easily. So let us have tiff
you dare. Don't let us have any
"mawkish sensibility on the subject"

wRecruiting for the Union army is
being prosecuted with great success
among the 5000 rebel prisoners at
Fort Delaware. Already 600 recuits
for the Third Maryland cavalry have
been obtained from prisoners who have
taken the oath OF allegiance, most of
them Southern born. The remaining
400 can easily be obtained. snd it is
thought that as many as 1900 in all

was some slight doubt as TO the identity

for mistake. He was shot while pick

from Hutchinson, by farmer named
Simpson. Simpson fred upon and
wounded him, when Little Crow re-

~ Our neigbbor OF the Ports
mouth Times seems TO be out Of hu-
NOR, about the manner in which we
speak OF the famous surrenders o.
those two bodies OF militia from Scioto
County during the raid Of John Nor
gan. The Times insists that they were
portions Of the militia forces in camps
at Portsmouth, and not all properly
chargeable to Scioto county. This
may be so. Our object was simply to
save our Gallia militia from any share oI
the oblOquy and disgrace attending the
surrenders. This point is conceded BY
our nsighbor of the Times, inasmuch
as he does not charge that any OF the
brave boys did belong to old Gallia.--
Had the surrenders taken place in
Scioto county we should never have al
luded to it. In this county. we have
become so accustomed to Scioto claim
ing all the honors, political or other
wise, that we are naturally more jeal-
GUS of the little shred of reputation
they are forced to allow us, and all We
cared for, was to have it on record, J.,
that the forces under Col. Sontag and
Col.-- did not belong to old Gallia.
We must be allowed to congratulate
our neighbor on the fortuitous circum-
stance. that militia from other counties,
did actually happen to be in camp at
Portsmouth about that time. 1t has
served your turn admirably. Now let
US drop it.

A SPY ARRESTED WHILE IN U. s.
UNIFORM. -. Last evening about
O'Clock, Mr.. Riley. dry goods mer-
chant Of this city, went into the lager
beer saloon Of A. Krengel, on Vine,
near Sixth street, and there saw a man
in the uniform OF a captain 10 the U. S.
Army, whom he at once recognized as
a rebel captain whom be had seen in
Louisiana. The rebel was at table
drinking beer, and Mr. Riley i'm
mediately went out in search OF a
guard to arrest him. He found one
at the market house on Fifth street,
and sent it to the beer saloon. The
rebel had. however. got wind OF the
proceeding. and made his escape out Of
the back door and into Lodge alley
The Sergeant whs commanded the
guard, upon finding that the rebel had
escaped, sent his men back to the mar
ket house. but he himself persisted
in his efforts to arrest the supposed
spy.
He soon traced him to Lodge alley.
where he learned from boy that the
rebel had taken refuge in stable
The Sergeant Immediately returned to
the market house, and taking privates
James Gordon and James w. Gilpin,
went back to the stable and arrested
the man in the hay-loft. Upon beng
questioned he gave bis name as Nc.
Groarty, and said that he was a cap
tain 10 Louisiana regiment. He gave
no reason for being in the U. s. uniform.
McGroarty was taken TO the Military
Prison, on Columbia street, and upon
being searched papers were found
which will be sufficient TO convict him.
He stated that he had companion
now in this city. and gave the guard in
formation which will enable them to
arrest him.
Mr.. LOCKER, Superintendent Of the
market house. says that McGroarty
went into that building on Saturday
afternoon with a regiment of soldiers,
and took some dinner Cincinnati

! HS Some xise-aere in that great

procured the issuing OF IN order by the

effect Of the order is to make some in
nocent third party responsible in all
coming time. for the rsscalily or ignor-
anes of Quartermaster. The result
viii be as usual with all such orders,
that the original holder will have to pay
a higher fee for collecting his claim, or
submit to a greater discount il be

not be found. Instances of this kind
are numerous even in this locality,
where parties hold claims. on which.
10 common honesty. they should
long since have received their money.
and would have done so, but for the
obstinacy of disbursing officers, who
could best serve their country by re-
firing to private life, and allow their
places to be filed by men, upon whom
"brass buttons" would not have quite
so "magnifying" an effect Of their own
importance.
Below we publish the order, from
which our readers having old claims on
hand Of any kind, can see how likely
they are to get justice, especially If in
the disbursiug officers opinion, they
should not be pecuuiarily able to re-
imburse the United States for his ig-
norance or rascality.
1t may be well enough just here to
observe that Capt. Stealey has had no
notice Of the order, nor will he pay
any regard to it until officially obliged
to do so, viewing it as every sensible
man must do. the offspring of a brain
diseased by the tremendous response
bility attached to his peculiar depart
ment, ard who regards the knowledge
of chow not to do it," as a sine qua
non in the qualifications Of an A. @. NJ.
Hereafter no disbursing or paying
officer acting under the War Depart
ment, will pay any claim or account
presented through agents or collectors,
unless on regular powers Of attorney,
executed after the claim is due and pay
able, and unless such agent or collec-
tor is considered by the paying agents
or officers, amply sufficient to reim-
burse the United States, or such dis
bursting officers, in case such claims,
at any period hereafter. may prove un-
Just and fraudulent.
