The Expulsion of German and
Irish Women from Richmond

We have previously had occasion, Incl
dentally, to notice that class of Irish and
German women in our midst whose hus-
bands have gone over to the Yankees,
and many of them entered the Yankee
service. Those women and their chill
dren, some fifteen hundred or two thou
sand in number, are wholly supported by
the public and private charities of the
city. They do not pretend to do any
kind of work, and spend all their time in
running from one place where charity is
dispensed TO another, just as hogs in the
Fall of the year run from one apple tree
70 another. If we had abundance of
food, the support of this worthless class
might be passed over in silence: but see
ing that there is barely a sufhciency Of
food in the community to supply our own
peOple-to keep from absolute suffering
the wives and children of our soldiers
We should have nothing TO give those PEG
pie. II would not answer, il ia true 10
let them starve in the streets; but such
an event could be easily obviated. We
recommend that q census be taken OF
them, and their number and names as
certained. that they may be sent in q
body beyond our lines, having first been
supplied with the rations necessary to
support them till they could reach some
Yankee post. This would be n harsh
measure, but one fully justified by our
necessities

the Cincinnati Times of the 10th inst,

fights in Kentucky was, ~prehaps. a little
more than was expected from raw forces

Grams could not have fought with more
courage or been handled with more ease.
MORGAN had with him picked troops. the
greater number OF whom had been under
fire, and what is equally important in a
contest, knew every mile of the territory
over which they fought. The record of
the Hist o. n. G.'s is all that could have
been desired by Ohio, for it cannot be
denied that even in their first engage
ment, when but a few weeks under arms,
they won for themselves imperishable
~iaurels. All honor is due to these brave
soldiers, and every true patriot in our
State will award them that degree of
merit to which they are entitled.

there is nothing else democratic about it
but the name, of course sneer at the

That party which, where it has the most
absolute ascendency and the largest ma
jority-viz., in South Carolina-suffers no
man to vote unless he owns ten slaves or
is worth ten thousand dollars, must of
course have its gibe and jeer when the
Republicans select q farmer, or, in Cop

iouwast the goose himself. Our Presidentno
doubt was every handy at splitting his rails,
and the Copperhead party rails at him be
cause they fear he will split his %railers.

The Apathy of the People.

We believe ourselves to be right when
we say that the cause of this terrible civ
il wal shows nothing more aggravating
and lamentable than the fact that so
many of our ablest class Of citizens have
left their interests in politics and given
their attention exclusively to business
and the pleasures Of social life. They
have left the adventures 10 govern the
caucRs, to control the conventions, to
name the candidates for public office, and
to direct the affairs of the Nation. Then
they have complained of the corruption
and of the tyranny and imbeciIity of
the Administration that was guilty of
those crimes because of their neglect.
Certainly it is the man of business, and
of wealth, that appreciates a good Gov
and that demands it. that all his
rights may De protected; that his proper
ty may be of value to him; that his social
privileges may not be marred by public
commotion or by private intrusions.

Attempted Deserfion eG Con.
scrtpts,

The Hartford Times, of June llth, con-
tsins the following statement:
Nine of a carload of eon.cripts, who
we're en- route from Boston to Cincinnati,
Wednesday night arranged and executed
an exceedingly desperate plan of escape
between Chatham and Schodae depot,
New York. The doors of the cars were
locked, a guard being stationed on the
platform. But while the lights were
turned down 80 that he could not see
plainly through the window in the front
door what was going on, a hole YVES cutin
the door of the car large enough to admit
of Z mans body. The hole was cut over
the wheels, the plan seeming to be to
crowd out, and by holding on the brakes
effect an escape when the train was stop
ped or moved slowly. Only four of the
nine were so foolhsrdy as 10 attempt this
mode of escape, and they paid the penal
ty with their lives, their bodies being
shockingly msngled. The other FIVE
jumped from one of the car windows,
while the train was moving thirty five
miles an hour, three of them receiving
~ipjurie. of which they have died, while
the other two were not expected to live.

The Cleveland Herald saws:

A marked feature about the Atlantic
& Great Western Railway is its punctual-
ity in fulfilling promises. Whenever Mr..
Kennard announces that the cars will be
running through TO a certain point on a
given date, il invariably follows that the
date and the cars arrive together.
II had been several times announced
that the broad gague cars would be in
Dayton by the Goth to-day, and, accord
ing to promise, a private dispatch just
received the completion of the
A. & G. w. road 10 thst point, and the
arrival at ten to day of Mr.. Kennard's car
with q select party of gentlemen.
Their arrival in Dayton was the signal
for considerable enthusiasm and rejoicing
over the completion of this magnificent
undertaking. 1t will be several days be-
fore the arrangements can be perfected
for throwing open the whole line to
general traffic, and when that is done, we
understand that a grand demonstration
will take place in honor Of the important
event.
The broad guage is now complete from
New York to ST. Louis, a distance of
twelve hundred miles, and cars leaving
one city can run through without hind
rance to the other. As soon as the ar
rangements can be perfected, the class Of
cars put on this line and the provision for
the accommodation of passengers will
completely r%eyolutionize the system OF
passenger travel.
