Death of Gen. Sumner.

The country loses brave and noble
old patriot in the death Of Major General
Edwin Y. Sumner. He was aged about
sixty-fve years. He entered the army
as Second Lieutenant of Infantry, March
8, 1919; was promoted to a First Lieu
tenancy in 1928; appointed Assistant
Commissary of Subsistence in 1927
promoted to Captaincy of Dragons in
1888, and appointed Ma jor of the Second
Dragons in 1916. He received brevet
as Lieutenant Colonel for his conduct at
Cerro Gordo, where he commanded the
Mounted Rife Regiment, and was
wounded. He recovered rapidly, and
took part in the subsequent battles in
Mexico, receiving a brevet as Colonel
for his gallantry at Molino del Rey. In.
1913 he was appointed Lieutenant Colo
mel of the First Dragons, and in 1855
Colonel of the First Cavalry In 1857
he commanded and was distinguished in
an expedition against the Cheyenne In
dians in Kansas He was the first Brig
adler General in the regular army ap-
pointed by President Lincoln, having re-
| ceived his commission March l6, 1861.
| Soon afterward he was made a Major
General of Volunteers. The reputation
| of General Sumner was that of one of
the bravest men who ever lived He
never hesitated to expose himself to the
thickest dangers, and was always vigilant
and energetic. His good conduct and
doing of the right thing at the right time
saved two divisions of our army at Fair

BT The opinion prevails that the
"post of danger " in this country is now
occupied by General Rosecrans and his
glorious Army Of the Cumberland. The
enemy are believed to be gathering their
masses, from all quarters, with the pur-
pose of hurting them upon the victors of
Stone River They have peculiar facili-
ties for this operation, their railways be-
ing available to transport troops from
Virginia, the Mississippi and the Gulf
coast, at Chattanooga, and thence to
TullahOma. 1t is fortunate that the noble
Army of the Cumberland is in such ex-
cellent condition, and is so competently
commanded. 1t is full of enthusiastic
confidence in its leader, and glories in its
conscious strength. If the enemy should

have shown themselves possessed of dash

which they were not, for time, credited.

informed, but on the alert Cincinnati

A LOYAL HoOsIER GIRL.-The DAYTON
JOu'"u6 seJa, 10 friend homo f-e--, 4ha
A private Of the Sd battalion of Pio-
neers, recently wrote home a letter con-
tanning some reasonable sentiments
His niece, the young lady in question, re-
siding in Vincennes, Indiana, whose
name unfortunately we could not learn,
Immediately on learning the contents of
the letter, wrote to Capt. Clemens, of his
Company, giving an extract containing
the obnoxious sentiments, requesting him
to make an example of Drake-adding
that though he was her uncle, she refused
to acknowledge him as such from that
time She denounced him as a traitor
to his country, and concluded by asking
Capt. Clemens to read her letter to the
battalion in presence of Drake Accord
ingly, the next day, during dress parade,
much to the surprise of the Individual, he
was arrested and placed under guard be-
fore the battalion, and in presence Of
men and officers, the letter of his niece,
the noble Hoosier girl, was read to him.
The sentiments contained in the letter
created the widest enthusiasm, and
round upon round of cheers rent the air,
and awakened the echoes for miles
around. Their unworthy comrade was
placed in confinement to await his trial

war in the North, universal chaos and
mob law. We call upon the President
to execute the laws; we call upon him
to enforce the conscription act in order
to strengthen our armies in the field
without loss of time. We call upon the
people of the loyal States to stand by the
side of the Government, to support it.
and to irown down all attempts in every
quarter to create riots, instructions, and
bands of lawless cut-throats and robbers.
The Jacobin teachings of Vallandigham
and Company, as we are advised, will
not be much longer tolerated by the Ad-
ministration. When refugee Unionists
IN the South are hunted down by blood
hounds, President Lincoln, no doubt, is
inclined to believe that itinerant North
ern copperhcads, in pushing their oppo-
sltion to the Government to blatant trea-
son, have passed the limits of the law of
forbearance.

The Rebels andthei Humble Servant

The rebel papers contain many arti-
cles eulogistic of Vallandigham. The
following, taken from the Planters Ban
ner, of the 18th ult., published at the reb
ell General Manton's headquarters, at
Franklin, Louisiana, reads like one of
the customary puffs in the Dayton En-
pire, which should copy it by all means:
Vallandigham's great speech will be
issued from the Banner Office in few
days, in the form Of an extra, at fifty
cents each. Those at distance can OBJ
tain it by forwarding the price by mail.
1t is tremendous thunderbolt thrown
into Lincoln's camp. 1t was delivered
in the lower House of the United States
Congress last month, and is by far the
greatest speech of the war. 1t has put
the whole Northwest in blaze, and,
has electrified the South. 1t is lengthy,
there being enough ofitto fill the Ban
ner full, and two columns beside. Cop
les of it can be obtained at this Office any
time after next Wednesday.

A new postal law, which took effect July
1st, was passed by the last Congress; and as it
makes some radical changes in relation to
postage, etc., we give few items of the
most general interest to the people.
The postage on weekly papers is changed.
It is now 8 cts. per quarter, instead of ST.
But the new law makes postage on papers
printed in aud out of the State the same.
Formerly twas only half as much on those
printed in the State. Section provides:
''That no mail matter shall be delivered by
the postmaster until the postage due there
on shall have been paid This section,
according to accompanying instructions,
absolutely prohibits the delivery of any
letter, newspaper. pamphlet or package
whatever, until the postage thereon shall be
paid" and every postmaster is hereafter
required, when he makes his quarterly re-
port, to make affidavit "that he has not
knowingly delivered, or permitted to be de-
livered, to any person, any mail matter on
which the postage has not been paid at the
time of delivery"
It is made felony, punishable with one
thousand dollars fine or imprisonment three
years, for any person to "remove or cause
to be removed from any postage stamp or
stamped envelope the canceling or defacing
marks thereon, with intent to use or cause
the use of the same second time, or to buy,
sell, or offer for sale such washed or restor-
ed stamps"
Any kind of writing or marks conveying
information, other than the direction, on a
newspaper or magazine, subjects the same to
letter postage.
The ten-cent rate to the States and Terri
tories west of the Rocky Mountains, is abol-
ished, and letters are now transmitted to
those countries the same as to other parts
of the United Stales-for three cents.
Letters accidentally dropped into the of.
fee without being prepaid, are to be for
warded, and double postage to be charged
on them, and collected from the person re.
ceiving the letter.
The fee for registering letters is twenty
cents, instead of five, as formerly.
All drop letters are now two cents for the
single rate, and four cents for double rate
They are positively required to be prepaid
The franking privilege has undergone
important changes. The new law does
away with the frank among postmasters a

ness.

Every one will want to read it. 1t is clear

ofus may differ with the President in re-
gard to his policy sometimes, yet, We
should do every thing in our power. indi-

We learn from Mr.. A. G. Proctor, who
took trip into Greenwood county last
week, that serious complaints are made
against small numbers of United States SOL
diers who frequently make their appearance
in that region, looking, as they report, after
Government stock. The soldiers of the
Kansas 9th were in that region, the fore
part of this week, and went to several
houses, while the men were out harvesting,
and shot the dogs-Ordering their dinners,
and talking in an indecent manner to the
women. Mr.. Proctor said he heard much
complaint among the farmers, and they talk
of organizing TO prevent such occurrences
in the future. We mention this to call the
