eIDefenses Of GnIresIOn.

A Galveston correspondent of the Hous-
ton Telegraph gives the following report
of the rebel defenses of that city;
The armament upon all three of our
rams are Of the heaviest calibre, and of
the longest range. The breech-l0ading
rihed cannons, which constitute q portion
of the arms of offense and defense upon
these rams, can throw a ball nearly four
miles with the certainty and precision of
a rifle. The most peculiar and remarkable
weapon is the newly-invented ram with
its ponderous bow attachment. Upon the
ram striking any object this instrument,
connected as it is with the propelling mo-
ton, strikes with the greatest velocity and
power, crushing and destroying every OBJ
stacle it comes in contact with. 1 under
stand so successful have they deemed this
new warlike appliance, that the other two
iron rams, Avenger and SO, are to be sup
Piled at once with similar ones. We have
added since the dawning Of the new year
one war steamer and two additional gun
boats to the number we had at the time of
the re-capture of Galveston-the Yankees
having had the generosity to supply us
with this additional number"

what Horace Greeler Rellers..

In a reply from Horace Greeley, through
the Tribune, to the remarks of Senator
Doolittle, Of a few days since, the following
is the concluding paragraph;
al believe the only true, enduring Peace
is to be attained through immediate, ener-
getic, and successful fighting, and that the
National resources are fully adequate to
its achievement intend to stand by the
National flag 30 long as it shall wave !;
but patriotism need not be blind. The
Democratic leaders must change their course
must giUs hearty and prompt supportto the
Var for the Uaion-or the National cause
is lost. Such is my undoubtins conviction :;
and the emergency is such that it would
be moral treason to suppress it. If they
persist little longer in their factious
course, the Union is doomed. So believ-
ing I speak out though I give offence to
my friends. may err-so may you-but
the nation is not dying of your or my mis-
takes, but Of something vastly more for
midable-of persistent and wide spread
detection from her service in this trying
hour among those who profess to be loyal
to the Government and the Union

The Louisville Journal in commenting
upon the declaration of JEFF. Davis, that he
will deliver over to the Governors of the
States wherein they are captured all Fed
eral officers fighting under the PrOclama-
ton, says
Then let Mr.. Lincoln, if he would keep
his name from being jointly aecursed with
that Of JEFF Davis, and if he would save
this broad realm from being made the thea
tire Of woes and horrors unutterable and
almost inconceivable, make all haste to
repeal his ill-siarred proclamation"
What miserable and cowardly counsel is
this? Because the enemy has chosen re-
taliatory measures to Offset military act,
therefore the act should be withdrawn !
Because the rebels say that they do not
like the Proclamation, and will hoist the
black flag if it is enforced, therefore Mr..
Lincoln should beg pardon for having
dared issue it without first consulting
them, and, on his bended knee promise to
do so no more! Because JEFF. Davis swears
that he will hang officers found Obeying
General Order No. L" therefore we should
acknowledge the rebels to be our masters
and revoke the orderi What contemplate
folly and egregious cowardice.
None can mourn the calamities of war
more than we, or deplOre more heartily the
fate of any officers who may fall victims
to the infamous decision of Davis; but it
is one Of the incidents of war, and as such,
to be met bravely. The Proclamation is a
military order, to stand and be respected
as such.

plnns of the 1IIInols copperheads.

In Springfield, on Friday, the resolution
Of Senator Underwood TO take a recess
until June, came up. Its design was to
postpone final action upon State and ma
tioual matters until the Democratic cop
perheads could hold their proposed Con-
Vention at Louisville, and hatch some
dishonorable plan which would grant all
that the South desire. This is now the
fa7orite scheme of the Democratic plOtters
Of Indiana and Illinois. 1t is traitorous
in design, and would be so in execution,
but the originaters and supporters of the
plan care nothing for that The Republic
ans opposed the resolution, one Of them de-
nouncing the Committee on Federal Rela-
tions as traitors. He was interrupted by
Democrats, who asked why he was not in
the field. he answered that he was
I" Where danger gas most imminent and wAere
traitors t0ere most numerous" This brought
down the galleries and lobbies with shouts
Of applause.
At length, after much discussion, the
resolution passed the Senate by vote Of
II to I. The Republican members held a
caucus, and sgreed that there should be no
more legislation unless the Democrats
withdraw the resolutions calling Con-
Vention at Louisville, and pledge them
selves not to again present them.
The Republican Senators have already
left the city, and viii not return until the
pledge is given, SO that the Legislature is
virtually dissolved.

Narow Esenpe OF Jen. Dnris.

A correspondent states that JEFF. Davis
had remarkable adventure and a wonder
full escape the other day at Mobile. 1t ap-
pears that the Confederate Chief, accom-
panied by his staff and several others, had
started on tour Of inspection to Fort
Morgan, when some portion of the ma
chinery Of his steam tug gave way, and
they found themselves drifting out to sea.
An extraordinary expedientwas suggested
and adopted with success. They went in
a small boat, as they pretended, for the
English Consul, who was, at the time, in
one of the steamers of the blockading
feet. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to add
that the notorious rebel and his friends
succeeded in regaining the sacred soil I"
Of the ConfederaeY.

The young lady who was married by
telegraph few days since, to soldier
stationed near Washington, lives near
Fulton, oswegO county, New York. The
Fulton Patriot gives the following account
of the affair:
"Our village yesterday was honored by
very singular proceeding, it being moth
ing less than a marriage by telegraph
The parties are Chas. s. Gardiner, now in
Washington, and Miss Angeline E. Parmi-
ter, Of North VOlney. The officiating
clergyman is Reverend S. Carr, of Wash
ington. The bride came to the telegraph
Office in this village, where the ceremony
was duly performed by telegraph in ao-
cordance with previous arrangement. -
The groomsman availed himself of the
privilege Of his Office, thereby getting
decided start Of the happy husband"

Governor Morton, of Indiana, has sent
a message to the Legislature, urging upon
them system of paying the troops from
that State, which is similar to that pro-
posed by Massachusetts, of which a full
synopsis was given in the LEADER a few
days ago. The plan is simple and effec-
tive; it will not only greatly encourage the
soldiers in the field, who know that their
pay is on deposit at home for the benefit
of their families or themselves, but will
'remOre ono great hasis uDon which the
seeessionists of the North build up their
structure ofOpposition to the Government.
They appeal strongly to the excited feel
ings of those who suffer for want of the
pay Of their soldier providers, who, in
turn, influence their friends in the army.
Wide spread dissatisfaction can be best
prevented by prompt payment of the SOL
diers, and Governors Andrews and Nor
ton are quick to suggest the remedy.

Mr.. t3riswoId and a Reduction Of the Pr
per Duty.

uAas SNtAHftoAe
Mr.. s. o. Griswold, of Cuyahoga cOun-
~, member Of the Ohio Legislature, has
made another exhibition Of his disregard
forthe wishes and interests Of his constitu-
ents. On Friday, the Committee of the
House on Federal Relations reported back
the Senate resolution favorable TO a re-
duction Of the duty on paper, when Mr..
Griswold moved to lay IT upon the table,
which motion prevailed 1t is claimed by
his friends that this motion was made 10
allow discussion; but this is no excuse
whatever. The people understand the ques-
ton well enough for all practical purposes,
and they are personally and pecuniarily
interested in its immediate operation. Fur
thermore, the motion was made in order
that Mr.. Grouse, who is paper manufac-
turer. might make speech opposing the
resolution. Mr. GriswOld has therefore pro-
claimed himself opposed to any legislation
upon the subject Now, there is not one
man. woman or child in twenty, in Mr..
Griswold's constituency, whose interests
do not demand that legislation shall come
to their relief The high duty
upOn foreign paper enables prices
to be kept up enormously in this
couptrv Under its influence, print
inc naner has more than doubled in
price. and writing and wrapping paper has
also increased in cost to great if not
an equal extent. The merchant must pay
more for his bill heads, shipping blanks,
invoices and all documents used in his
business; the lawyer, the doctor, the teacher
and the clergyman, pay more for the paper
tbev necessarily use the farmar pays
more for his weekly or his daily, while the
lsborer and the poor mother must exc out
sfsv more cents or dimes to provide school
books for their children There is hardly
a nerson in community who does not feel
the influence Of the increase in the price
Of paper, and, consequently the duty upon
It. Mr.. Griswold cares for none of these,
but opposes any legislation.
There are other men in official station
who are not so anxious for high prices
Hon. John. D. Defrees, Superintendent of
the Government printing Office, expresses
the opinion that the abolition of the paper
duty would save one hundred thousand
dollars in his Office during the next year.
Secretary Chase gives the whole receipts
from the duties on all kinds of paper,
writing as well as printing, at less than
$4,000. Thus, for the sake Of securing
this income of less than $4,000, the Gov
ernment is submitting to an extra expense
on its own printing Of 100000
The Ways and Means Committee have
agreed, it is said, to recommend repeal
of this duty We are glad of If. The
country will be glad of it. But the people
will not regard with any special admira-
ton those men who sought to continue the
tax upon them.

morning at 6 o'clock, to form part of a

way that provisions are conveyed. At 2
in the afternoon, we reached place called
La Virgin, but all that was seen was the
Tuins Of a town We built eamp-fires and
rested as well as we could without sleep
ing a wink, in the rain. At FIVE in the
morning Of Tuesday we resumed our
march, the rain having turned to snow
We reached Murfreesboro on Tuesday, at
5 o'clock in the afternoon. We had hard
time fording the river, about two miles be-
yond Murfreesboro' Colonel Barnett met
us here, and escorted us to camp. We
have been assigned to the ID Brigade, ID

Direct accordingly.
