HGeneraI Burnside's D0ings in Iht
Weat.D

Under this head the New York Times, q
leading Abolition and Administration paper
publishes the following in its Issue Of the 4th
inst:
Unless we arc greatly mistaken, the Govern
ment will very soon find ii necessary to check
the intemperate patriotism of Gen. Burnside in
bis mode of dealing with disaffected persons
and presses in the loyal States. Whether the
powers which he claims to exercise over free.
dom of speech and OF the press do actually be-
long to his ofice or not, IL Is very clear that
they should never be intfuttsd TO any man
whose zeal outTuns bis judgment. An over
jealous friend will often do ten times more
harm by restless and injudcious meddlng than
an open enemy; aud 10 the exercise of powers
which, however necessary they may De, Gre al.
wdys U6ious, an excessive prudence is alwaye
preferable to a headlong and reckless temper
We have no doubt that Gen. Burnside thinks
he Ia rendering the country an essential ser.
vice in suppteasDg the Chicago Times and in
fOIbdding the circulation of the New York
World within bic lines; and We have just ss lit
tie doubt that be is utterly mistaken. He will
very speedily hnd that he Ia multiplying ten.
fold the very evil he seeks TO extirpate. IL Il
very rarely that military man can be found
who is capable of understanding what public
opinion 70, or who can be made 10 comprehend
tnat the press has any other rights than those
which he may be pleased TO c0nfer upon it,
We do not know that we should gain much or
either point by appealing from the camp TO the
Government; but our interest In the welfare O
the country lmpels us to risk the experiment o
cOunseling President Lincoln to put CHECK
upon Gen. Burnside's super er-serviceAbe ant
dangerous proceedings as speedily es possible

The Banner that was Torn Down al
RarnesViIIe.

The banner containing the motto, "Do Right
and TTust TO God Vallandignsm," while
spread out in front Of the Mills Hotel, was
torn from the flagstaff and dragged 10 the
street by O paroled soldier belonging to the
Third Ohio regiment. This, We suppose, was
done at the iDsiigation OF come OF the Abolition
Loyal Lesguers OF Barnesville.
While MIR. Jesse Hunt and others were at
tempting TO rescue the flag from the hands Of
the mlscresnt, the soldier drew o 4nfe and
ltabbed MIR. Hunt, cutting him from the tenn
pie doSn through the cheek to the lower Tart
OF the jaw, INJECTING quite an ugly wound. A
warrant was issued Tor the soldiers apprehen
sion, and We learn that he has been bound over
to the nexs term OF Court, 10 u penalty of Two
hundred dollars. 10
We understand by letter frcm BArnesvilie
thatis Is asserted that the flag was a Secession
flag, a1d that this ID the reason forts 0eing torn
doWn. This We say is false, let who will assert
it. The soiled banner is now u the National
Hotel in this pace, and may be seeu by any one
who desires. IL is fig of thifty-four stars,
and is composed OF red, white and blue. IL has
no resemblance to Secession fag whatever. Il
is more than probable that twas the motto that
gave ofense TO the Loyal Lesguers of Baroes

the importance Of his subject. He sald the
people would require, 10 due time, Of Gov. Tod
and President LINCOLN 10 hand over into the
hands Of Clement L Vallaudigham the great
eeals of their respeo i've oficcs. This brought
fcrth ,hree rousing cheers for Vailandigham
from the crowd ~ Aas, M
At the close Of Mr.. Kennon's speech, he in-
troduced to the audience the Hon. George L,
Converse, OF Columbus, who proceeded to de
liver one of the very best speeches We ever
listened to upon political eubjectsy Az the
close Of his remarks, q number Of bcquets were
thrown upon the stand by the ladies present.
The next speaker was Hon. j. RI Morris, the
Representative in the last Congress from this
District. He said, despite the order of Gen,
Hascall, he claimed the right to speak TO his
old constituents, and gave his reaeons for 70
ting against the Copscription bill passed by
the last Congress-. He also said that the man
who clamored for the "laSt dollar and the last
man" and was himself out of the army, "was
coward and o scoundrel.n Mr.. MorFis's
speech was replete With good sense, and was
listened to with great interest by the whole as'
sembly. ,.-. rBtt
Hon. ]. w White-our present Representa-
tive in CongresE--next addressed the meeting.
Among other things he spoke Of the arrest Of
Mr.. Vallandigham as great outrage upon tne
rights OF an American citizen, aud violation
of the rights OF the States, which called for re-
dreGs at the hands of the people. Mr., White
said the Republican party attempted 10 justify
the banishment of Mr.. Vallsndigham by saying
that they had sent him to his friendf. Now,
said he, when the Democratic party comes into
power--and they will surely come into power
SO soon as the elections occur-if they act on this
Black Republican, principle, and retaliate, then
We will send the Republicans 20 their friends In
Africa, where they would learn the effects OF
banishment from their wives, children, home
and friends. Here the audience cheersd most

At the conclusion Of the speeches, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by The unani-
nous voice of the Convention:
Resolced That the Democracy this county here
by constituted Delegates to the State Convention to e
held at Columbus on the I1th Of June, with power to
those who may attend to cast the vote OF the county

The Charges AEainst the New York Ps-
-" lice Comm issiOners.


The World Of the 81 inst. states that the
charges against The Police Commissioners Of
New York city had been per eoted and would be
on chat day served on the Commissioned The
charges embrace twelve or fourteen counts, con-
tanning distinct specifications az to the manner
in which the affairs ofthe department have been
administered, and refer especially 10 the arbi-
trary arrests made by the police, and the treat
ment Of prisoners
Eight days notice 10 required to be given be-
fore the investigation can go forward. The ex.
animation can bc made before the Governor 10
psison, or beforea county judge. When the in
quiry is concluded, the Governor decides the
case from the testimony furnished, and from his
decision there is no appeal rc o. a7.a-
The World anticipates that ID the case Of the
Police Commissioners the investigation will
only take two or three days, and that in the
course of three weeks the matter will have been
concluded, and the charges of grave official mis-
conduct cleared up, or the administration of The
department changed. ssa.. i..5

The Mexican News-The Fall of PuebIa
Doubted.

Some days since il was reported that COMMON
FORT, reinforced from Mexico, attacked the
French in the rear, at the same time attempting
to throw convoy OF supplies into Puebla; but
was said to be entirely defeated with great loss.
Then breach was made in the Notifications,
and the French stormed and captured Puebla.
We were told that ORrKoA surrendered nncon-
ditionally seventeen thousand men and all his
munitions. Il was also further stated that the
French had sent forward force to the City Of
Mexico. These statements, though not in de-
tail, were substantially confirmed by advices
said to come from an official source.
Bot Immediately upon the heels OF .his news
comes French gunboat to Washington from
Vera Cruz, the Captain Of which throws a
doubt over the truth Of the report of the fall Of
Puebla. The next report Ia derived from 0
steamer which arrived al New York on the 81
inst, having left Havana on the 3Olh of May
By this arrival we are Informed that the news
of the French success 10 not confirmed, and
that the parllsans Of the Mexican cause in HI
vana assert that the reported datesIender thai
news improbable. +
II seems as difficult to find out what ia reallJ

We have one day exciting reports that are con-
trsdicted the next day, and sometimes on che
same day. Bot 10 II not written that in the
last days "there shall be wars and rumors o.

be expected to turn out false, or If true, to b.

Hon. George L.. Converse at Barnes

Mr. CONVERSE vas one OF the speakers at the
Belmont county, which was held at Barnesville,
on Saturday, May 30th. Ii was an immense as
semblage, and the speech Of Mr.. C. was an ablo
and eloquent defense of the Constitution Of tho
United States, and noble and powerful vindi-
cation Of the rghts of the citizens and the rights
OF the State, under that Constitution The st.
Clairsville Gazette Of last Thursday contains
the following notice of the speech:
At the close of Mr.. Kennon's speech no in-
Produced to the audience Mr.. Converse, of
Columbus, who proceeded to deliver one Of the
very beat speeches we ever listened to upon
political subjects. Mr.. Converse has thoroughly
studied the Constitution Of his country, and
with that instrument Ia bis hand he would prove
al over match for Mr.. Lincoln and his whole
Cabinet on any question which be might affirm
or deny. Mr.. Converse has clear, silvery-
toned voice, with volume sufficient to be heard
at any reasonable distance His enunciaton is
diatinct and full, and he ia evidently close

plished and agreeable speaker. He must be
heard to be rightly appreciated With his gifted
mind and persuasive eoquence, he has it In hle
power to do much toward rescung his country
from the hands Of men who are now driving il
In the moot needless and headlong manner to
destruction. His speech was one connected

Spades Trumps.

The various reports from VIcksburg agree
that General Grant has determined to resort to
the spade and regular approaches, after having
In vain hurled his brave troops against the enc

in preventing that retreat from becoming COM
pleis disaster. But the radical journals aud
Hooker ridculed General Mcclellan for using
the spade at Yorktown, though it had The effect
OF causing ito evacuation without loss of life.

better general, is compelled to fell back upon it,

I The Abolition Union Leaguers and radical
supporters Of the Administration met with a
scathing rebuke in the result of our municipal
election to-day. The issue between the two
tickets In the field was plainly and empha!ically
made by ad official organ as for and against the
Administration. The anti Administration can
didates for the general city offices were elected
by majorities ranging from 1900 to 1000. The
Councllmeu on the same ticket were elected In
the several wards. The triumph was complete
in every respect. Thus the issue presented by
the Chronicle was accepted, and q most signal
rebuke has been given by the conservative mass
es of the National Metropolis to the Abolition
radicRls. .nM. ~
