The COoE DEFALcATIoE CAsE.-ARRRsF
OF GEORGE GIBERT.-The Cincinnati Gag
ette's account Of the arrest of gamblers in
Cincinnati, Cairo, Louisville, &C., who won
nearly quarter Of a million of Government
money frOu PaymastsT Cook, mentioned
Gilbert of Cleveland among the rest. The
Herald, ofWednesday last, said that the Gil
bert mentioned was not Mr.. Gilbert Of this
city, but "seme other man of that name,
real or assumed, belonging to some other
place" Friday evenings Herald corrected
the statement, and said the gambler Gilbert,
connected with the Cook affair, is George
Gilbert, Of Cleveland. It seems that Mr..
Gilbert called upon the Herald editor and as
cured him that he had no oconneotion with the
affair, which led to the insertion of the para
graph, but it was afterwards aseertained that
he was indeed the veritable man. He had
not been arrested, however, as reported, but
since the gambling operations with Cook, had
been staying at his farm in Euclid. For q
couple Of days past Officer simmons, Of Gin
einnati, has been in the city, seeking for an
opportunity to arrest George Gilbert. The
opportunity was presented last evening,
(Friday, at the Angler House, where Gil

discontinued that disreputabls course Of life,
as he had purchased fine farm in Euclid
and represented that he was giving his entire
attention to the peaceful pursuits Of agricul-
ture and grape growing. Always gentle
manly in appearanee and address, and pos
sessed Of talents that should TT him for bet
ter position in society than he had formerly
been ambitious to attain, he had numerous
friends in this vicinity who reioicsd at what
they considered his reformation, and hoped
that be would by his future conduct wipe out
the unpleasant record of the past ItapPears,
however, that he could not Withstand tho
fascinatiOns of the gaming table, particularly
when there was so fat bird to pluck as an
Army Paymaster. he with the rest were too
greedy, and they Pluoked their bird SO thor
oughly that they " O'errsaehsd themselves"
The affair will doubtless result in the gam
bIsr's disgOrging Uncle Sans " "greenbacks,
and the Paymaster retiring to private life.

No Conditional LOyaI.y allowed by Burn

No Conditional Loyalty allowed by Burn
side.
General Burnside tolerates no condition
al loyalty in his army. Shortly before the
Fredericksburg battle, he informed Col
Onel who had been recommended for
Brigadiership, that he had ordered his
name stricken from the recommended list
for his denuncistOry language toward the
Government. A Brigadier General was
placed under arrest by, General Burn
side for disrespectful language toward the
Government.

A gentleman direct from Holly Springs
reports the 109th Illinois regiment as hav-
ing mutinied, for some cause unknown to
him, just before he left. The men and
officers were arrested and placed under
guard. The Colonel, it is said, shed tears
copiOusly when compelled to hand over his
sword.

YIcl,nburr Abaudoned.

The siege of Vicksburg is abandoned
and MeClernand has commenced retro
grade movement to Napoleon, Arkansas
Thus this stronghold has again defed our
efforts to reduce it. It is disastrous that
Banks and Farragut could not ascend the
river to cooperate with Sherman and Nc
Clernand, and still more mortifying when
we reflect that the most formidable, and
indeed the only obstruction to their doing
so-POrt Hudson-might apparently have
been entirely prevented by ordinary pru-
dence.

cial affinity, inclined to sustain your do
nestle laws, if by possibility they might
be with safety to the Union.
Months Of experience and Of observa-
ton have forced the conviction that the
existence Of slavery is incompatible with
the safety either of yourselves or Of the
Union. As the system has gradually grown
to its present huge dimensions, it were best
if it could be gradually removed; but it is
better, far better, that it should be taken
out at once, than that it should longer
vitiate the social, political and family re-
latiOns Of your country. am speaking
with no philsnthrcpic views as regards the
slave, but simply Of the effect of slavery
on the matter. See for yourselves.
"Look around you and say whether this
saddenings deadening influence has not all
but destroyed the very framework of your
society.
81 am speaking the farewell words Of one
who has shown his devotion to his country
at the peril of his life and fortune, who in
these words can have neither hope nor in
terest save the good of those whom he ad-
dresses and let me here repeat, with all
the sOlemnity Of an appeal to Heaven to
bear me witness, that such are the views
forced upon me by experience.
"Come, then, to the unconditional sup
peri of the Government. Take into your
own hands your own institutions remodel
them according to the laws of nations and
Of God, and thus attain that great pros
perity assured to you by geographical po-
5ition, only portion of which was hereto
fore yours.

CELEBRATION OF THE PRoCLAMATIoE.-In
conformity to an appointment ola Committee
by the colored citizens of Cleveland at mass
meeting held at Metropolitan Hall, city of
Cleveland, January 9th, 1858, to take in con-
sideratiOn and make preparations for suit
able celebration on the 18th of the present
month, they beg to report tAemseIyss. n mn IN
deeming it under circumstances impossible
as to time given to call the citizens together
TO receive our report, TO celebrate as in
structed. Your Committee met with oh
staeles which are unavoidable and detrimen-
tai to our progress as Committe on eelebra-
tion for the people. The Committee, after
their appointment by the citizens, found a.
committee Of individuals who had made ar
rangements to celebrate something. That
Committee consisted Of Geo. Vosburgh and
others. The citizens Committee deeming it
expedient to acquiesce with them, bad an in
terview with them for the purpose of having
a general celebration, but failed to eOnsum-
mate any arrangement for the pleasure Of
the citizens at large, which we deemed that
every man, woman and child should have an
interest in. Therefore, in our minds, we
deem it out of the question to celebrate, as
We could not effect union thereon. After
which, we the Committee are sorry to report
no eelebratiOn-3nd wish this to be consider
ed a discharge from further duty as a Com
mittee and hope the matter Of celebrating
will be considered at a future day,

EDITOR LEADER.-DEAR sIR:-I send
you letter from the battlefield of Muir
freesbOrO, written by Sergeant BarrOws of
the 18th United States Infantry, (regu-
lars. Heis son Of Professor Barrows,
formerly of Hudson, but now of AndOver.
The young men mentioned in the letter
were college acquaintanees of his. 1t is
hoped, by news received from his friends
in Akron, that the wound received by
Lieutenant Carpenter is less serious than
represented
Lieutenant John F. Hitchcock, whose
death is announced, was the son of Presi-
dent Hitchcock of this place. He grsdu-
ated at Western Reserve College in 1859,
easily first in class of unusually large
numbers and exsellence, and was young
man of the finest talents and noblest char
acter beloved and respected by all who
knew him for his vigor Of mind and thor
ough manliness, united with the utmost
refinement and delicacy Of feeling; one
who would never have engaged in war for
love Of strife, but only from motives of the
most devoted patriotism. He died as g
man truly sssd 7azd brave wUuru Tcn0Ose
to die in these days. Peace has come to
him on the smoke of the battle

RAILROAD IMPROvEyfESTs.-We learn
from the Dunkirk Union that the large build
ing which has been erected by the Erie Rail-
way Company, for the transfer of freight
from one railroad to the other, is completed.
It is so arranged inside that the Erie and
State Line cars can run into the building and
load or unload. There is also platform on
the west side, SO that it would seem that the
facilities for the transfer of freight from one
road to the other must be ample. The
structure, though of wood, is slightly one,
and adds materially to the appearance Of
that part Of the town.

sand persons have been killed and wounded
By railroad, and over three hundred By steam
boat accidents, during tho past year, and

NEW CAR BRAKE.-The Michigan South
srn Railroad Company ars engaged in testing
aneWly invented car brake, which Is claimed
to dispense with brakesmen and place the
train under the control Of the engineer. The
inventor asserts that should two trains Be
coming together at the rate Of fifty miles An
hour, and be within forty feet Of each other
before the brakes we're applied, they could be-
stopped ten feet apart. The eOmpany now
pay for brakesnsn some SIT 900 year,
which item they will save If the patsnt
brake proves successful and is adopted. Il
costs $50 to attach the brake to ths engine
and tender, and SO to a car.

THEATER-There was an immense au-
dienee at the theater on Saturday night, the
occasion of Mrs. EIIsler's benefit and the last
night Of the season. At the close of the last
play Mr.. Ellsler was called before the cur
tain and made very handsome speech, in
which he thanked Clevelandors for the liberal
manner in which they have sustained him
during the past season. He said he should
return with the company and reopen the
Academy of Music in the spring.
The company leave for Columbus on this
mornings train, and will open the theater
there tonight. We commend manager Els
Ter and his company to the people of cOlum-
bus, assuring them that they are worthy in
every respect of being sustained. Columbus
viii have a treat in the way of theatricals
for the next three months.

DEAR SR:-I have only time to write
word as TO. our great battles here. The
rebels attacked US four times-twice on
the right once in center, and once on left
They have been whipped, and have fed
In the great battle on the right, on the last
day of 1862, this regiment lost in killed
and wounded more than half. We were
made breastwork of to hold the rebels in
check until e line Of batteries could be
formed, and we did Il, against charging
column four deep, who rose, advanced,
fired and laid down to load alternately
This brigade was without support, and
when we retreated, had to go obliquely
across an open field, so as to unmask the
batteries, which then broke the enemy with
a literal butchery. Williamson was shot
in the calf of the leg; Carpenter in the
breast, probably fatally; Hitchcock in the
left eye and instantly killed. His body is
in our hands, and his burial place is
marked

Congress. 1t is credtable to the Assembly that it
killed the absurd measure which passed the Sem

inflicted severe injury our commercial interests.
and driven good deal of business from New York
to New England, New Jersey and Philadelphia.
Gold will now rule at its natural premium. as de-
termined by the amount of paper money afoat
and by the extent OF public confidence reposed in
the government. 1t will be impossible for specu-
lators to force the premium up to an unreasonable
point, simply because such operations will involve
greater outlay Of capital than parties engaged in
gold gambling can command. And, on the other
hand there is no danger Of an unnatural export of
gold, such AZ would have ensued from arbitrary
Legislative interference with legitimate trade in
bullion and exchange.

marked change has come over the spirit Of the
Stock Exchange dealings within the past day or
tive. The spring rise, so confidently anticipated
by the veteran operators Of the Board, and 80 well
justified by the increase of railway traffic and the
steady swell in the volume Of paper money, has at
length begun to be felt. On Friday and yesterday
the increase of commission orders was very
marked, and the movement of prices, though ire
gular and spasmodic, was very decidedly indica-
tive Of q fresh development of speculation. As
usually happens at the commencement OF specu-
lation, the public show little discrimination In
their purchases. Many stocks rose extravagantly
last week, while others, with better claims to pub
lie favor, were either stationary only slightly
higher than they had been. Nothing can justify
the advance Of 8 per cent Cat one time) in Hudson
River or IA per cent in Toledo. Admitting all that
is urged by the friends of these properties. the
rise is too sudden TO be relied upon. Neither of
the two can compare In point Of solid worth with
Erie preferred, which can be bought at par. As
to the movement in Quicksilver, which sold yester
day at 81 IN that wretchsd fancy, Canton in Terre
Haate, which has actually risen 10 per cent in
week, and In other similar stocks, 1t can
only be characterized Is crazy. There are
two stocks on the List which fairly promise to
yleio seven per cent annuaiiy 70 tnen noioers,
and yet which sell at old prices. These are Erie
old and Cleveland and Pittsburg- There appears
to be every reason to believe that both Of these
stocks will yield hereafter as large an income to
their holders Michigan Central, Toledo. Galena,
Rock Island or New York Central. The earnings
Of the Erie this year will probably amount to
$40 OO0, 900; those of the Pttsburg26 per cent of
the combined earnings of the Fort Wayne and the
Pittsburs roads-to 81, 100000: In other words, rs
per cent on the gross cost Of each road. Con-
siderable activity prevails in the Michigan Southern
securities. The guaranteed IL sure of its ten per
cent this year, and the road is earning dividend
on the common stock as well.
We learn by q despatch from Milwaukee that the
