singular Condolences Mt Galveston.

A Richmond correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury relates the following
incidents of the capture of the Federal
feet at Galveston:
DR.. Holland, of Texas, who bore a use
ful and distinguished part in the recent
capture of the Harriet Lane, at Galveston,
arrived in town the day before yesterday,
bringing with him the signal book which
was taken by the gallant Leon Smith in
that splendid engagement. This book is
worth, perhaps, more to the Confederacy
than all the prizes that were secured, even
more, possibly, than the prestige of the VIC
tory. It was found upon the dead body Of
Commander Vain wright, and was worn by
him, in the breast pocket of his coat where
it was pierced by the bullet Of a navy re-
volver, discharged by Capt Smith, whose
second fire killed his antagonist. DR.. Hol-
land was one of the boarding party that
cleared the decks Of the Harriet Lane
Some of the scenes and incidents he de-
scribes transcend in strange interest the
narratives of Alexander Dumas.
Some years ago when the famous steam
er Merrimac, afterward changed into
ram by the Confederate Government, made
her trial trip across the ATLANTIC, she en-
tered, as We all remember, Southampton
waters, and her officers were received with
great hospitality by the authorities Of
Southampton Commander Wainwright
was then the Merrimacs First Lieutenant
and on going up to London was entertained
by DR.. Holland, who was then living in the
great metropolis The Doctor never saw
him again alive and recognized with a
feeling Of astonishment in the dead body
of the commander of the Harriet Lane, ly-
ing upon her decks, his guest Of some years
ago, in London The saddest Of all the
terrible tragedies of this Internal war was
enacted upon the same crimsoned and slip
pery stage, when Major Lea, of the COnfed-
crate Army, encountered, in the dying
Lieutenant OF the Federal steamer, his own
son Can history or fiction afford any par
allel to this 1t is curious fact, too,
which has not been stated, that Capt. Leon
Smith, to whose skill and gallantry General
attributes the entire success of
the attack on the enemy's fleet in Calves
ton Bay, is the brother of Caleb B. Smith,
until very recently the Secretary Of the
Interior in Linoeln's Cabinet"

democratic. 1t embraces all classes ex-

toned, the circumstances of the party
claiming exemption be such that he can
not render an equivalent for personal
service. Also, 1st, The Vice President Of
the United States, the Judges of the va
riOus Courts of the United States, and the
heads of the various Executive Depart
ments Of the Government.

Border STATE Loyalty and Northern DiS-
Inwuffv


Where Unionism once gets foothold in
border slave State, it establishes itself
with firmness which sets good example
to all parts of the land, and puts to shame
the eoWardly caviling and opposition Of
the semi-traitOrs Of the North In Mary
land is good illustration Of this. The
Baltimore American, the oldest and ablest
paper in the city, says: aThs duty of the
loyal is plain-they must insist that the
Government shall no longer tolerate trea-
sOnable displays within the Union lines )
that if such are ventured upon, imprisOn-
Onment here or transportation across the
rebel lines shall be the penalty st once to
be enforced" The two Maryland Con-
gressmen, Messrs. Thomas and Lesry, in
their recent noble speeches, declared in
the most emphatic terms that the arrests
by the Government were heartily approved
by all the Union men of the State, and that
the only fault found was that they were
not sufficiently numerous. While the bOr-
der State journals thus speak out and COM
, plain that too few arrests have been made
for disloyal practices and utterances, we
find COpperhead journals throughout the
North which are fercely indignant that any
arrests whatever should have been made.
These last have discovered nothing SO
sacred as the rights Of disloyal citi-
zens to oppose the Government with all
their might, and to denounce, in most un-
mea. ured terms, the Administration and
all its acts. This they claim upon the
plea that the Administrative course is de-
struetiye of Unionism in the Border States.
On the other hand, those people of the
Border States themselves who are indeed
loyal are earnest and hearty in the sup
port of the most extreme war measures
against all traitors, North and South.
The Bdtternuts and Copperheads are
now loud in their advocacy of fAe
speech and claim the right of Vallsn-
dighsm, or Salisbury, or Powell, or Olds
to spew out venomous abuse of the Admin
istratiOn and the war ad Ibitum. The
Border State lOyalists in Maryland have a
higher idea Of what constitutes free
speech and they declare that Vallandig-
ham shall not utter his treason in Balti-
more. There can be but one cause for this
radical difference between the people of
Maryland and of ohio or New York
1t is that the former are true Union
lists, jealous Of the integrity and the
fsir fame of their Government and
the latter are not. They go for spOils to
their party, and victory to the rebels
They have no true patriotism and no love
OF country. They are tories, submission
lists, copperheads, Democrats.

A Frankfort dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette, dated the 24th, says:
Intelligence has reached this place that
Charlton Morgan, brother to the famous
guerrilla chief, John Morgan, and Theoph-
illus Steel, another rebel, we're taken pris-
oners in skirmish near Lexington, last
evening.
1.-THE rebels are reported moving on Mt
Sterling from Winchester, closely pursued
by Colonel Runkle with cavalry. They
encamped within eight miles of Paris last
night but have left again, taking all the
horses in the neigh Sorhood. a battalion
Of the 18th Kentucky cavalry is now at
Paris to guard the BRIGGS on the Ken
lucky Central Railroad, and the rebels are

ginia line, pursued by our forces"

In published letter, General Sherman
thus defends his conduct before Vicks-
burg:
GAS to my military conduct since left
Memphis, cannot speak, but the proper
authorities have all the means of knowing
whether l have fulfilled well or i'll the part
assigned me. People at great distance
in their quiet homes cannot measure the
difficulties here, and cannot judge of acts
and events so remote. I can well afford to
wait and see others do better. No amount
Of detraction or defamation viii change
what conceive to be the only proper sta
ten among the nations of the world, viz:
g cheerful, willing and intelligent submits
sion to the laws Of our country and the
constituted authorities Of the Government.
1t is not true that l attacked Vicksburg
because McClernand was expected. l had
not the least idea that McClernand was to
come until after the troops had been dis
embarked at Yazoo Island, and orders is
sued for battle. McClernand did not ar
rive uutil after the troops were re-embark-
ed, and reported to him forthwith, per
orders, January %, 1868. The number of
troops in Vicksburg when we reached it
was about Is, 1000, and were rapidly rein
forced till they outnumbered us at all
points.

More Neutrality.

8, A recent Trustworthy letter from Eng
land says that the Lairds, Of Liverpool,
are building four steamers, two iron rams
and two like the Alsbsms. The writer
says the rams are certainly for the rebels,
and prObobly the wooden vessels also. It
is possible that the public opinion of Eng
land, which is now setting strongly in IA
vorOf the Union, viii induce the Govern
ment to stop the construction ofthe steam
era, or at least prevent them from leaving
port. But more likely that the capitalists
viii have their way in the furthersnce of
their secsssion-helping schemes.
