Of all the loyalty which remains in the coun.

New York NI0uaA and its namesake in
Chicago. An article on the first, page Of
this paper, FROM the pen Of that sturdy old
Republican, Thurlow Weed, late editor Of
the Albany Evening Journal, rasps the
former to the raw and the appeded extract
from the Chattanooga Rebel, shows clearly
the effect produced by the latter. Our
readers will remember that heretofore we

ing oil Democrats "copperheads," ''scces
sionists," ''rebels," TRAITORS" ETC., was to
stimulate the belief in rebeldon that the
strong Democratic party of this nation was
in = condition Of incipient rebellion, and
thus has given prestige and hope to the
sece ssion leaders.
The evidence that we were right in this,
is before US, and we leave our readers to
make such deductions upon the subject as
to them seem apparent. Here is the ex-
tract:
1.-THE Chattanooga Rebel of tho 9th inst.
contains batch of editorials copied from
tho Chicago Tribune, affirming that the
democratic part at the north is in favor of
acknowledging the independence of the
southern confederacy; and also the recent
editorials Of Horace Greeley declaring in
favor Of making the best attainable peace.
&c. The publication Of these articles is
arguing that the course Of events in the
Yankee government is decidedly suspicious
to the rebel cause, and exulting over what
the Rebel is pleased to term the despond.
ency Of the dominant party, the abolition
lists.

The CONSTITUTION UNcoSsrIrUrroxALLY
the 10th inst, some sew.
enty.five convalescent soldiers from the
hospitals at Keokuk, proceeded in body
to the Office Of the Constitution newspaper,
and without ceremony broke in pieces the
presses, and destroyed all the type of the
Office, upon the conclusion of which the
crowd were arrested by a squad OF armed
soldiers and marched of. There is no ex.
cusc or palliation for this attack on the
rights Of the press.
For what cause this attack was made we
know not-whether for supposed rebel
proclivities, or whether for something re.
flecting upon the soldiers in the hospital
but one thing we do know that the acts OF
this mob was disgraceful and wrong There
are still laws in the land, courts to decide
upon them, and officers Of the law to exc
cute judgment, as the ringleaders in this
affair may yet learn to their cost.

On Thursday evening Of this week,
Prof. McAfcrty- Of whom allusion was
made last weck-wilI give one Of his read
ings and Rotations from the poets, at the
Congregational church, in this city. We
have never bad the pleasure of listening to
this gentleman, but smons large humber
|of notices which be has received from the
press at tho west and east. we extract tho
following from tho Milwaukee daily Wiscon-
.in: Monday evening Prof. AcAfferty
gave one Of his readings 1t the Academy
Of Music, and certainly succeeded not only
in affecting and entertaining his audience;
but also in convincing his hearers of his
eminent ability to read well whatever he
undertakes The Prof. has fine voice,
highly cultivated and under full control
His renderings Of pathetic passages cannot
be surpassed It would seem impossible to
read the little poem: "Will the New Year
come. tonight, Mamma?' better than Prof
McAfferty reads it. He is at home, also,
in comedy. The famous, graphic poem
Nothing to Wear" was admirably done.
The Prof: reads chiefly from modern poets,
which fact renders his entertainments somc-
thing different from the ordinary Shakes
spcarian readings. Those who heard him
read Poe,s Raven" and tho Famine" in
"Hawatha," will not soon forget the effect.
Reputation, VIC believe, is all that the Prof.
now needs to ensure him large audiences
We understand he proposes to read in dit
=.
ferent places in this state, and we bespeak
for him worthy patronage" "'''

Friend Gharky Of the Fayette county
Pioneer, West Union, in his issue Of last
week, scores the business men Of that town
for their neglect to advertise their stocks in
trade, and very truly informs them that
this neglect is not only mistaken economy
on their part, but also reflects disastrously
upon the town, wherever the local papers
circulate. The Pioneer is right. It's one
Of the most interesting, wide-awake papers
which comes to our table, but from the
meagrc, starved appearance, Of its adyertis-
ing columns, - did we not know otherwise
I'VE should suppose West Union Was a
town Of from two hundred and fifty to'thrse
hundred inhabitants, instead Of the large
and excellent business town which it really
is. On the contrary, the journal which has
well filed advertising columns, is always
pronounced to be the representative, Of .
live, thriving, prosperous town. Business
men are too apt to take narrow view Of
this matter. Suppose BY this measure Of
short.sightedness, the good people of"west
Union should starvs their local papers out
of existence. who shall estimate the loss
which would accrue to the whole cornmu.

to- reflect upon by our neighbors in the
