is TO guard against the spread of small pox
in our city. The boatmen are required to
stop outside of the corporate limits and have
the crew examined, and to secure n permit
from the Consulting Physician before they

very prudent one on the part Of the city

EDIToRs TRIBUNE
Last Saturday evening our citizens
had the pleasure Of listening to an ad-
dress from Col. Gibson of the 49th Reg.
o. vi. Liberty Hall was well filled
although but few hours notice had
been gwen, and the roads were in very
/ b.d condition.
The COL spoke two hours and a quar-
ter yet no listener thought his speech
too long. | think | EN- correct when |
pronounce the Colonel's effort here on
last Saturday evening as one of the
greatest of his life. He was dressed
Just as he was while leading his Brigade
at Stone River, and fought the Butter
nuts here, as fcarlessly as h, did the
rebels there. II was VAIN place for
the lick-spttlcs OF JEFF. Davs--and il
seems they had presentiment of their
fate as but few entered the Hall. When
curing the day any of them were asked
whether they were intending to hear
Col. Gibson speak, replied that they
thought not, and when asked for the rea-
sou, said they were afraid I'll. ~ smight
catch the Small Pox." They did well
to stay away, for had they come, they
would have caught worse than small
por. But would not have your readers
infer that Fostoria did not have some
Butternw Traitors in il last Saturday
evening, by no meons--there were some
but these contented themselves by con-
grcguting in a certain doggery not Car
from the Depot, place whose loyalty
had long been suspected; and there
doubtlessIy talked over things in their
own way.
But to return to the address: ] believe
the Col. answered every argument the
Butternuts have advanced sgainst the
administration, and its policy. Il was
evident from the demonstrations of sp-
plnuse that the views advanced by the
Col. met the hearty approval of the aud.
icnce.
] would gladly give brief synopsis of
the address but well know your space
will not permit. Allow Inc to say the
address was Ill the true friends of the
Union could have desired-he could have
said no morc--they desired him to say
no less.
The most remark able development Of
the evening was the high estimation in
which GEN. FREMONT 10 held by this
community. Every time the name Of
FREMoxr fell frem the lips of the speak
er, the audience grew wild with enihu- /
