Thc Leader as HascnIIy as Ever

This precious sheet quotes Mr.. VAL
LASDlGHAMs speech at Dayton, but after
the fashion of the Abolitisnists, garbles,
mutilates and omits. The Leader quotes
as follows !: r
"Nallandigham himself, at Dayton,
on the 2nd of August, 1862, said: i
have not voted for any army or navy
bill, or any army or nary appropriation
since tho meeting of Congress on tho 4tL
Of July. 1861"
And leaves out tho following words in
the same sentence
Neither have l voted against any
such bill from the beginning. | appeal
to the Giode and Journai Of tie Xouse
Jr proy."
The position of Mr.. VALLANDIGlIAM on
this subject of supplies is thus set forth
in his speech in Congress of January II
1868. He said:
"But to return. The country was al
war, and | belonged to that school o.
politics which teaches that W hon at war
the Governments do not mean tho ex.
ccutive alone, but the Government is
entitled to demand, and have, without
resistance, such numbers of men, such
an amount of money aud supplies gen
orally, as may be necessary for the war,
until an appeal can DO made to the peo
plc."
After quoting Mr.. CALuoUN on thi
subject he added
Il could not. with my convictions
vote men and money for this war, and
wonld not, as Representative, vote
against them. | want that the President
should take, wiAom opposition. all M'
men and money Mat he should demand
and 10 hoid linn 10 a strict accountability
10 tie proprietor tie results. Not believ
ing the soldiers responsible for the war,
or its purposes, or consequences. | have
never withheld my vote when their sepa
rate interests were concerned"
If the Leader has made anything by
this piece of pettfogging, we =" don
see it. - PiaiRdeaier.

DAYTON. o.. October 7. 1S6,

DEAR SIR In reply to yours OF yes.
terday, have to say that supported all
the measures in the last Congress looking
to the giving of invalid pensions to all
the soldiers wounded or incuring disabil-
ity in the military service. Upon qucs-
ton like that, no human man could hes
itatc for moment. Every soldier who
has performed service is entitled to the
pay and bounty promised by law; and all
disabled in any way during service are in
titled to pensions; and have never di-
reetly by vote, or indirectly by refusing
to vote, withheld either, where the SER
vice had been rendered or the disability
incurred nor would do so.
g. L VALLANDlGHAM.
But the Times says
"On the % of August. 1862, Mr.. Vail

omitted "Neither have | voted dgaiaSl
any such bill from the deginning; | appea

rebels receive theirs in a similar state.
IF our men have been starved until they
are skeletons, the rebel authorities should
receive skeletons in exchange. IF our
men are rendered unfit for future SER
vice, the rebel prisoners should be rem
dered unable to do us any more damage
The lea taAonis should apply in all of its
cruelty-an eye for an eye, and tooth
for tooth In no other way win we put
stop to the cruelties that are numbering
our noble volunteers. Thousands of
wounded men who fell into the hands OF
the rebels in Virginia, died for want of civ
ilized treatment. The tales of physicians
and chaplains who remained with the
wounded, and were captured, are well
calculated to freeze the blood with nor
ror.
We hope the Government will mo-
waste any time in protesting Apply
the corrective first, and protest after
wards. Many precious lives will be
saved to their friends and country, by ;
little determined action on the part o
the Government in relation to this mat
ter. The people will sustain it in adopt
ing the most rigorous measures of retail
iation. 1t is nonsense to appeal eithe
to the humanity or generosity of pei
jured scoundrels, who are in rebellio
against their Government. Their fear
are the only medium through which W
can influence their actions.

How to Fix the Goose Pond, alias
"Big Ditch"

Inc UooSC nzNcd, OF Oak
Hill Cemetery enlarged. The pond is an
intolerable nuisance, as thousands can
testify It produces disease and death
in the midst Of the city, and depreciates
the value of every foot of ground in the
corporation Strangers going to and
from the Depot cross this muddy pool,
and instantly read upon its Shiny surface
disease, death.
Question-What shall be done?
Ans.-Abate the nuisance at once.
Puestion-How shall this be done2
Ans-"Take the bull by the horns. ="
Take legal steps promptly and prosecute
with energy and determination to accom-
plish the work at all hazards-brush
technical distractions out of the way,
and begin to fill the ditch at once
Question-What shall the city do for
water?
Ans Resolve that at suitable time
they will build water works
2. Provide a temporary supply of wa
ter in one Of the following ways:
|. Construct small brick or wooden
tunnel in the center of the old ditch
from the "city limits to the present ter
minous, of sufficient capacity to supply
water for the city; or
2. Construct flarge brick tunnel to
supply water at present, and to be con-
verted into a central sewer, when the
water works shall have been established.
In either case, let the banks of the old
ditch :be leveled off, and at suitable
points, let there be left small Temporal
ry sinks, connecting with the tunnel, to
drain any accumulation of water after a
heavy rain. Andi let no drain from
other streets connect with the old ditch.
In the meantime, let the deposits from
sewers, cisterns, cellars, &c, be thrown
into the ditch Or the city require each
property holder on the old ditch to fill
his proportionate part, and for so doing
receive fair compensation.
Let reasonable time be given in
which to accomplish the work, and each
man be held responsible for any aecu
mutation of water in front of his nrAnai
This being done the nuisance may be
at once abated. A small ditch could fur
nish supply of water, while the tunne
is being constructed The work coulc
progress by sections, and the intolerablt
nuisance be abated, before anothe
summer should scatter its poisonous va,
por. If the City Fathers prosecute tn,
work with energy, let them be endorsed
by eUe7y citizen, if not, let successors b,
elected who will regard the interest o
the city, and the health and life of citi
zens. OMEGA.

Rebel Brutality,

The treatment our prisoners receive
at the hands of the rebel authorities in
Richmond, calls for prompt and thorough
action on the part of our Government.
To temporize or demonstrate has but
little effect The rebels regard expostu-
lations as an acknowledgment that we
viii resort to 70 e ethPe4E remedy and iGp=
ings Of the men who have been so unfor.
tunate as to become their prisoners.
During the Peninsula campaign, their
treatment of our wounded who fell into
their hands was most barbarous, and
from that time until the present they
have gradually become more and more
brutal and fendish, until they have ar
rived at the point where civilization sinks
into the savage.
1t is evident that there is motive in
this treatment of our men beyond that
growing out of mere desire to inhict
pain The rebel authorities intend that
every CAAOA SOAulSE WHO ldllS INTO Jnelr
hands shall be made unfit to enter the
service again. The prisoners they cap
ture are to be as effectually placed hors
du combat for the entire war, as though
they were slain in battle. See how nicely
their plan is workingl The rebel prison
ers that we capture are more comforta-
bly, provided for than if they were in the
rebel army. They are plentifully fed
and warmly clothed; if sick, they have the
best of medical attendance, and are
speedily restored to health. If wounded,
their wounds are neatly dressed and
quickly healed. Thus, stay of a few
months in the North as prisoners, is the
best thing that can be desired to recruit
the health and strength of rebel soldiers
They are restored to health and then ex.
changed for men who are made useless
to our cause by the brutal treatment they
have received. We exchange able
bodied men, ready to go into camp Oh
fight, as the necessity may require, for
men who have been as efectually inca
pacitated for further service in our arrnie.
as though their right arms had all beer
severed from their bodies by an act O
