Government teams, were ordered by the

late President of the United States. It dis
cussss some Of the most essential issues of
the times in manner that must mmand
unqualified admiration; for the speech is
sound in principle, resistlessin argumentative
logic, lofty, noble and patrioticin spirit, and

with all these attractions. its most valuable

and happiness of themselves and Posterity,

Tbe T,stest from Morgan.

We have but little to add to what we
stated of the whereabouts and movements OF
Morgan. He was at Chester, 8 miles from
Pomeroy, at 4 O'Clock last evening, COM
pletely surrounded by our forces, both ill.,

and defended, so that his escape from his
present position is regarded as impossible
He may attempt a bold dash through our
lines toward Blennerhassetts, near Parkers-
burg, or to Burlington; but in the event oil
such movement he will be met by strong
opposing forces on land and feet OF gun

distance twelve miles above Parkersburg.-

Another RAID upon Maysville.

Se~@@N
Early on Tuesday morning last, a party
of about IL men, said to belong to the ro-
wing forces commanded by Underwood Of
Carter county, made!their appearance, arm :
ed with carbines and revolving pistols, in
our streets. They remained in town till
the afternoon was far spent, meantime com
hitting divers depredations upon private
property, and inhictiDg personal violence,
though no serious injury upon some indi-
Ziduals. OF their acts of law lessness, we
can Only mention part, as we have not
bsen able to get correct statement of all.
The first we heard of, was the taking of
James HALLS noted family carriage horse
dressing his head with Union flags and pa
rading him through the streets. The next,
was demand on Alex. Maddox for money
and goods, accompanied by threatening his
life; though Mr.. Maddox escaped to place
Of safety. They took from his clerk small
amount of money and goods; and kicked
and otherwise abused young man (after
pointing pistols at him) name ed Deacon, who
happened to be in the store, his crippl led
hand being carried in a sling. Several of
them went to J. s. Gilpin's Jewelry Store
IN the morning, looked around and went out
without any sort of misbehavior. After
wards one of them (said to have been Un-
derwood) came back alone, but heavily
armed, and ordered Mr.. Gilpin to hand him
over the watches, hanging on the relvet
show-board. Mr.. Gilpin of course refused
and ordered him out of his house. He
jumped on his horse, saying he would soon
bring men enough there to "fx him.
Mr.. Gilpin immediately fastened his win
dows and doors and left; when immedi :
diately party of them came, bursted the
doors, and carried off about twenty watches,
(the property of Mr.. Gilpin's customers0
and quantity of jewelry, chiefly female or
namerts- Three of the watches were re-
turned upon the solicitation of Capt. Carr
White. They entered the clothiDg-store of
Blum & aeckinger, where they furnished
themselves with clothes od i5itum, hats
and other goods, and also required Blum to
hand over the contents of his pocket book,

Jacksons's Livery Stable, but allowed him
to redeem them on payment of SIS; and

tary. the names of whose owners have es-
capped our memory.
It has been said on the streets, though we
have not been eble to trace the statement
to any authentic source, that they got pos
session, in some way, of number of pistols
or other srms belonging to the Provost
Guard.
In regard to such outrages as these, we
cannot but repeat the indignant denuncia-
ton We uttered on the occasion of similar
lawlessness perpetrated by Everett's men
when lately in this city.

MoRaAN's LAST RAID.-There is nothin
that we remember in all history 30 remark
able and daring in some features, disastrous
as II proved in the end, as John Morgan's
last raid. With but about four thousand
cavalry, without infantry or organized artil-
lery force, he trsversed four populous and
powerful States. on line of march, meas
uring its meaderings, of some eight or nine
hundred miles, and nearly all the way
through hostile territory. Does history ex.
nlbit parallel to this2 Far from being
surprised at his capture, we are only amazed
that he was not captured at point more than
Ave hundred miles in the rear of that at
which he met the inevitable fate of his fool
hardy audscity. While some may admire
his daring, none can justify his military dis
erection; for We hold that no leader on either
side in any war, should expose his men,
however willing and obedient as followers,
to the unavoidable hazards of attempting
npossibilities.

Freedom of Speech and the Press.

Reverdy johnson, the great Uhion leader
in Maryland, who was never a Democrat,
has written letter to the Concord On. H.
Democratic celebration, ir which be says:
"Freedom of speech, aud of the press, too,
must not be abridged. This is provided for
by an express constitutional guarantee,
which it is an improbable offeuse to disre-
gard. The military, too, should be in
structed to conduct the war on the hum ane
principles of the modern laws of war. The
burning of private or public buildings, where
they are not being used by the rebels for
military purposes, and the appropriation of
private property, except for our own mill
tary purposes, must end. To tolerate this
is to make an effective restoration of the
Union impossible. Such acts of vandalism
plant deep in the hearts of the sufferers
bitter hostility. In the words of the poets
of the heavens
Never can true reconcilement grow
'Where wounds of deadly hate havc pierced so
Deep
"Such outrages, too, are bringing upon US
the indignant contempt of the world
Slighter enormities of like kind, occurring
during the wars of 1776 and 1912, met with
our universal reprobation. The burning of
the public buildings in Washington, at the
latter period, caused Wellington to blush
for the good name of England. So sensible
was he of the disgrace. that it is known that
he never permitted the subjec to be referred
to in his presence. And in the war it'll
Mexico, no such outrages were permitted by
our gallant leader, Scott; and yet, to our
shame, they are now being perpetrated
without, so far as the public know, Govern
ment ebuke. On this day, too, it will be
the duty of all political parties to do justice
to each other. During the canvass 10 New
York and New jersey, which resulted 10 the
election of Seymour and Parker, their OBJ
ponents denounced them as disloyal and
traitors. The last few days have established
the gross injustice of the accusation"
