~Four old regiments. viz: 50th,
37th, 47th Ohio, and 4th Va, came
out of Kanawha Valley on the 1st

Brigade was under command of Gen.
Ewins. Their destination was a secret
not to be aseertained, but from what
we know Of the officers and men, they
will be sent where there is work for
veterans like them to do. We predict

lowing remarks, which at this crisis al
will do well to heed. Speaking Of the
Northern Democracy and their con-

would enable US to exhibit in behalf OF
our beloved country self sacrificing
wisdom. both in opinion and action, in
all matters pertaining to our defense.
With such a unity, such wisdom, such
a faith in each other, we shall be pre-

Honest Democrats Of old Gallia,
what think you of the above? Can
you not see at once, whittier your
leaders are tending? Will not such
proceedings as have taken place at Co
lumbus and Indianapolis within the
past week, greatly tend to strengthen
that hope Yancey speaks Of? Look it
in the face. and ask your
selves the question, if these leaders are
not to-day, doing everything they can
TO enable the South "to wrest their in

EFOne L. K. CRICHFIELD, whom
the Democracy of Ohio at the last elec-
ton elevated to the Office of Attorney
General, took occasion to manifest his
secession principles at the 9th January
supper in Columbus, by declaring it as
his belief that the people of the North
cared little whether JEFF DAVIS or ABE
LINCOLN. occupied the White House at
Washington.
The next day in the Senate a resolu-
ton to notify him Of his election, which
previously had been laid on the table,
was called up again, and on it quite an
interesting discussion took place. An
effort was made by his Democratic
friends to excuse his reasonable re-
mark, on the ground that the speech
was made at a supper, where wine
flowed freely, and, as usual on such Oc-
casions. as wine flowed in, wit or sense
flowed out. In other words, that

The sentiments uttered by a drunken
man, are most generally taken, as be-
ing his real belief when sober. An
appeal from CRTcHFIELO drunk, to
CRIcHFIELD sober, will hardly serve to
change the verdict Of the people, that
he is at heart a traitor, deserving the
scorn and contempt of every honest
man. and in taking an oath to support
the constitution of the United States,
he is doing that which every man be-
lieves to be moral perjury. Yet thi'
