The Killing of Col. Kimball.
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
The painful rumor in relation to the
killing of Lieutenant Colonel Kendall, of
Hawkins New York Zouaves, by Gen.
Coreoran, is confirmed by the dispatches
this morning. The manner in which the
event occurred adds greatly to its lament
able character.
Col. Kimbal was brother of B. Fl.
Kimball, Esq, of Rock Island, in this State.
He was captain of the only company raised
in Vermont for the Mexican war, and
served with distinction, being promoted to
major for gallantry and bravery in battle.
He was the first over the walls at Chepul-
tepec, and himself cut the halyards and
hauled down the Mexican flag. After the
war he was employed for some time on the
New York Herald, and afterwards held an
office in the New York Custom House.
On the breaking out Of the rebellion he
was one of the first to offer his services to
his country. His bravery and daring were
signally displayed in the terrible fight on
Roanoke Island, and in many other bat
ties of the war.

WHO ARE TITEF9

The character anl purposes Of the enc
mics Of the Government, in the North, arc
no secrets Commencing in New York,
where Northern disloyalty has its seat, and
going thence 10 tic furthermost nook Of
the free States, the inquirer into the habits,
associations aud antecedcnts Of those who
are IN sympathy with the enemies of their
country, would find that treason or semi
treason is crime that never stands by
itself; that, like murder, it is antidotcd by
lesser lapses from tho law Of right and that
it is the elimination of mental ond
moral disease, that Inns its manifestation in
IN hundred other obliquities. Fernando
Wood, or perhaps his brother Berthe
most decent man of the two-it there are
E1adaions in the lideous leprosy with
which the twain are aff1icted-is the normal
type Of that kind Of morality and good citi-
zcnship that blossoms, in politics, into the
treason Of which the Woods ars guilty.
As We have intimated, accession is plant
that has its root in moral decay; secession
for the sake Of human slavery and the un-
utterab1c denominations Of which it is the
parent, is the product Of utter rottenncss
So we see that, where the stews Of vice are
the hottest, and the s1ums the most
noisome, where the pests Of society do
most vigorously flourish, where wicked
ness pays no tribute to virtue by wearing
the likeness in which virtue was created,
and where the crimes that harass and af.
dlict the race have their origin, the deif-
cation Of slavery is the only religion pro-
fessed, and disloyalty the only form Of
politics practfced. The rule has not many
exceptions save among persons whose mo-
ral sense was perverted, by contact,
from their birth, with the upas tree that
has sent death into all the land. No man
looks into tile churches, the lYeeums, the
lhi1anthropic associations, into commercial
circles distinguished for their probity, into
the ranks Of the intelligent agriculturalists,
or among the worlds inventors. for syma-
patty with secession and its works.
JEFF. Davis recruiting offices in
the North are the gamblers dens,
whisky shops, the bawdy houses,
the pohee-courts, the coiners' hiding places,
and the murdcrers' haunts. The men
who make this world, as good as it is,
who keep faith in God alive, who pay trib-
ute to humanity by good works, who at
tend to the interests Of education, and who
are foremost in all that makes the earth
habitable for an advanced civilization in
which freedom and law rield each other

[Ftom the Detroit {Coppcrhead> Free Press, 18th.
OH SPRINGS, c. ", March 16.-A riot Of
Il serious character occurred here on Saturday
night, owing to grudge sgainst the colored
people.
The rioters, to the number Of eighty or
one hundred, assembled at the east end Of the
town, chose captain and marched to the
dwellings Of the negroes. On arriving ut
their destination they ordered the negroes to
leave town, and, before they hadtimc to obey
the order, the mob commenced their work Of
longing to tic negroes, md d. then ini fred tie tie
houses, Of which four were destroyed, and
beating any negro they could catch. Detective

succeeded In capturing three Of the rioters.
It was reported that one negro was killed,

PURIFIER INCREASE OF FORCH.
Our force has also been increased By the ar
rival Of two mortar boats. The huge 200 pound
shells thrown by these monsters, added to the
heavy metal we are prepared to throw in un-
limited quantities from sundry nine, ten and
eleven inch guns, will have startling effect
on the nerves Of the quiet people Of Yazoo
City. These mortar boats, with the rams,
bring our little expedition up to formidable
dimensions. 1fany anxions ant1cipations were
previously indulged in, growing ont Of the dar-
ing and almost reckless character ofthis move
ment, they have been entirely dispclled by
these re1nforcements, and we now are all In

Riyer despite any obstacles the enemy may op-
pose to Us.

this expedition. They are scattered through

boat to act as sharpahooters and to aid in
working the guns where the regular crews arc
light. They are 3 fine body Of men, and enter
into the spirit Of the new service TO which
| they arc detailed with infinite credit to them
selves. Their services On the boats arc inra1-
uab1e, as most Of the crews are far below the
regular allotment, and there exists most de-
| plorable scarcity Of seamen, which prevents
their being filed up. Indeed. all the boats in
the squadron are light-handed. and it is al
