In this issue of our paper our readers
will not receive the usual variety of news,
items. &C., owing to the publication OF the
great speech lately delivered by Hon. S. S,
Cox in the United States House of Repre-
sentatives, but if they will peruse the speech
carefully, they will certainly not find fault
with the amount of space it occupies in our
columns. Thereha been no speech deliver
ed during the war that will find so univers; ]
a response in the minds of all Union-loving
people throughout the entire country than
this effort of Mr.. Cox. Read it, every one.

WE regret that the length of Mr.. Cox's
speech prevents us from publishing it on
tire In tills issue. IL is the crowning effort
of his public life, and must make deep inn
preston upon the minds of the American
people. He speaks like patriot and states
man, and the highest hopes of his friends
are redlized. The words of wisdom con-
tanned in this great masterspeech of Mr..
Cox, will reflect undying credit upon its
author. We will conclude its publication
in our next issue, and trust that no one will
be deferred from reading it on account OF
its length.-Cldrke County Democrat.

s.Reast" Butler.

The facts related by Governor Pierpont,
of Virginia, concerning Ben. Butler, will
not surprise any one. When Reverdy john
son, in 1862, informed the authorities at
Washington, after his return from New Or
leans, of the corruption and cruelty attend
ing the administration of affairs in that
city, his representations were as unheeded
as if they had not been made. If there is
man living who has been guilty of great
er cruelty and more shameful prostitution
of Office than Butler, his record has not
been made public. Quantrill has not tor
tured as many victims, nor with such des-
picable motives. Butler is possessed of
the devil of avaIice. He has imprisor-
ed, starved and murdered his victims to get
their money. He has stolen from banks,
corporations and private dwellings, and Or
ganized, with his brother, black mail sys-
tenn to plumber the Government and eXtort
contributions from all who did business
within his lines. The President has been
repeatedly informed of his criminal excess
es, and the information has been accompa-
MED with evidence which should at once
have secured his arrest and trial. The
Beast has bullied the Administration with
as much confidence and impunity as he has
plundered his victims.-Ch Chicago Times.

Gen. smith,s strategen,.

A correspondent describing the battle on
the Peninsula, in which the rebels under
BEAUREGARD attacked the Union forces un-
der cover of a fog, says:
The attack was not. confined to the ex-
tremc right, although it was there most de-
termined. 1t was simultaneously under
taken along our entire line of two miles and
a half In length. On the left, however, it
was scarcely more than feint compared
with the fury which characterized it on the
other end. Wistar's and Burnham's brig
ades, also of Weitzel's division, were set
upon with the same impetuosity exhibited
toward Hickman. The rebel plan of mass
ing brigade after brigade in line of battle,
and hurling them in rotation against us,
was here tried with very bad result. Gen.
Smith, with that forethought which is char
acteristic of him, anticipating some such
move on the part of the enemy, had ordered
large quantity of telegraph wire to be
intertwisted among the trees and under
growth which lay in front of our position.
Wistar and Burnham received the order
and obeyed it. Hickman failed unfor-
tunately to get it. When, therefore, the
rebels charged upon our intrenchments in
the dull light, hundreds of them were trip
ped down and unable to tell the cause. AS
they lay upon the ground our musketry fire
kept many of them from ever rising more.
As with the first line so with the second.
They met the same fate. The third line
Jared no better, and this simple agency of
wire, interlaced among the
trees, played more havoc in the rebel ranks
than anything else. The dead lay like au-
tumn leaves before the front Of Wistar and
Burnham.

"Honest Old Abe" has given hjs chief
presidential rival (FREMoNT) an unhand-
some cognomen, which Is likely to stick to
him for years to come. The story is thus
told In a letter addressed by ELrzUR
WRIGHT to Boston paper:
After the retirement OF Fremont, was
present alta conversation with the President
when he was urged toplace Fremont in ac-
tive service, either in the remote South.
with a view to making the most of colored
troops, or to replace Stanley, the reactive
military governor of North Carolina. The
President expressed the highest respect for
the character, talents, and patriotism of
General Fremont, gave not the slightest
hint that he looked upon his military career
as failure (though it had just been lauded
before him), and stated as the sole reason for
not gicing him command suitable to the rank
of his commission, that he sods "bespdttered
refoTmer." The latter were the exact words
he used. Every body knows what they
meant, and where the mud came from
that made the reformer so unacceptable to
Mrs. Grundy of the border States. Is it not
nearly time for the same reason that sent
Fremont out Of the service to send him in
again.
1t was these contemptuous epithets which
has doubtless stung Fremont into open OPP
position to the Lincoln dynasty. The 'be-
spattered reformer" is trying to split his
railer. iNi1A Att-4 sf-sitAl 'ti

Tnx RiII-Ynfe of NIr. Cox.

The Republic of this city is astonished
that Mr.. Cox should have voted against the
infamous tax bill, which even Thad Stevens
refused to record his name for, and which
he would have voted against, (as he saiD if
he were only locofoco. This bill will come
back from the Senate all "mangled," (as
Stevens said the House had done it, over
again by amendment after amendment.
The bill is discrimination against labor
voted for it and looked tax payer in the
face. 1t does not follow that because Mr..
Cox was inclined to vote for money and
supplies that he must also vote for euery tax
bill. No one but natural-born damaged
article of fool would ever hold such an
idea.-Sprinqfeld Democrat. ss..,

WeddeII House, Cleveland.

The old WEDDELL HOUSE in Cleveland,
greatly enlarged and improved, and now
conducted by J. H. & A. w. KIRKwooD, is
undoubtedly one of the best Hotels in the
United States. The WEpDELL has always
maintained the reputation of first class
hotel, but under its present management it
is destined to achieve additional celebrity.
The KIRKwooDs have a national reputation
as landlords, gained by many years of ex-
perience in the business, and in keeping
such hotels as Browns and Kirkwood's in
Washington, and several other famous re-
sorts in New York and Boston. THE WE'D
DELL is supplied with every facility belong
ing TO the modern hotels; its corps of wait

clever, active, energetic and accommodating
that can be found in months travel.

That heroic, gallant, chivalrous band of
well-disciplined warriors, the Ninth Mas
sachusetts Infantry, have been almost an
initiated. They, like the old guard of the
Empire, knew how to die; surrender they
knew nothing of. Their rich Irish blood
(from Colonel to private) has stiffcned the
wild flowers and rank grass of the evil
derness." Stark, stiff and proud, their we'll
knit forms, their athletic bodies lie on the
breast of the bloody field. In few days
the once noble band of Irish-Americans will
be buried in the bowels of Virginia. In
their coffinless graves they shall speak to
the future; shall point with their broken
forms to the supremacy of the laws, the in
volatility of the Union. These were the
men whom Gardner and Banks disbanded
on account of their birth; these are the men
the attenuated, sensual, cadaverous, mar
rowless shadows, called natives" would
make helots of these are the ignorant, mis-
cradle foreigners who were injuring the
country by'voting as they thought best;
these are the men to keep nation erect,

Murder!

We have little envy for the man who
could read without tear the melancholy
tragedy of love and death recently enacted
in Charleston. The daughter of ex-Gov.
Pickens, who had long devoted herself to
| the alienation of the miseries made by this
cursed war, and leaving ease and luxury to
those who could enjoy them, passed her days
and nights in ministering to the sick and
wounded i'm the hospitals, yielded at length
to that fond weakness which is woman's
chiefest strength; and was affianced to an Off
Ger of Huguenot descent, whose sick bed
she had tended. They were at the altar,
and the surpliced priest had just began
the sacred formula, which was to make
them one forever, when bombshell from
our fleet burst through the roof wounded
many of the company, and laid the fair
young bride bleeding, dying corse beside
the feet of her betrothed. What pen can
paint the agonies of father, mother BRIDE
groom at that fearful moment? She had
yet two hours to live; and the sad ceremo-
ny was concluded while the life-blood we'll
ed from her true heart, and stained her
bridal robe. She tried to smile upon her
husband as she gasped her answers in the
service promising to be true wife still
DEATH us do part;" and breathed her last
amid the sobs and wailings that could
scarcely drown the curses, low but deep,
that showered upon her murderers.
The death of that sweet girl was MURDER.
Why are those guns fired on Charleston?-
Not to weaken its defenses. Not with any
ordinary purposes of war. Not in fair fight
with armed men. Not to aid the siege or
lessen the improbability of its success
Why then? To murder innocent non-com-
.batants like this fair victim to a thirst for
blood. What wonder is there that her broken
hearted husband should have sworn ''to die
in battle with the Yankees?" Thousands
of rebel hands will clutch the sword with
yet fiercer grip when they shall hear this
this woful tale; and once again, what Won
derP If we must fight, and wound, and
slay. in Gods name let us fight with men,
not women and their children. Let it be in
the fierce heat of battle, not to glut dew
ilish as well as useless thirst for blood
Meanwhile, that girls death was MURDER.

The News.

The fourth week of the campaign against
Richmond has opened, but from all accounts
there have been no material changes in the
position of the Army of the Potomac for a
week. This state of affairs will doubtless
undergo change during the current week.
1t Is obvious that the rebels have deter
mined to drive General SMITH from his
menacing position on the peninsula. For
that purpose they are doubtless concentra-
ting all their available forces against him,
and unless the utmost caution is exercised
he will be driven from his foothold.

Dislrict Convention.

So The Miscegen party of the Twelfth Con-
gressional district held their Convention
at Circleville, on Thursday, May 10th. DR..
C. A. TRIMBLE, of Chillicothe, presided. 1t
is said to have been most noisy and tur-
bulent gathering, from first to last. The
fight between the friends of Col. CoNNELL
and Jon e. STEVENSON, who were candi-
dates for the Congressional nomination, was
terrifcally bitter, and resulted in the slaugh-
ter Of both, and in the nomination of the
President of the Convention, who was so
overwhelmingly beaten by Mr.. FNcK, in
1852. JOHN A. HUNTER, Of Fairfield, and
Mr.. KILGoRE, of Pike, were elected delegates
to the Baltimore Convention; and j. r.
GRoGHAN, of Hooking, and G. w. GREGG,
Of Pickaway, alternates. H. F. PAGE, of
Pickaway, was chosen district elector. The
delegates are understood to be in favor of
Old ABE's denomination.
