II is dishonorablo in q journalist to
attempt to bias the minds ofthe public
for or against persons indicted for
high crimes-Edg
.Thisis trne where a crime has been
committed, where a person has been.
arrested charged with it's commission,
and where uncertainty exists as to
whether or not the prisoner is the
guilty person. But whore two men
have been killed, in open day, in a
public place, with u score OF witnesses
standing by, and where there is no
question as to the person who did the
killing, then it is the province of a
journalist, if no thinks it murder, to
say SO, and to condemn the act in the
severest terms, without waiting for
Grand Jury or for Court to determine
the degree of guilt Especially is il
his province to condemn the act, if he
thinks the Grand Jury and the Court
partisan or biased in the prisoners
favor. There is not a Journal in the
country which would not have con-
demned the murder in more severe
terms than the Gazette has. Indeed
the friends of tho Gazette have charged
it with being exceedingly tamo on, th'
subject Of this murder. But the same
on this particular subject, may we'll b'
said of the community in which the
Gazette is published. We have ne
desire to play upon the passions of thu
people, but there is degree of indig
nation and outraged feeling in th'
community which ought not to be sup
pressed, and which properly find
vent through public journal. Ifsucl
crimes are to 60 uncondemncd ant
unpunished, then there is no sccurit,
to society and no peace among men.
The Eagle is compelled either L
condemn the killing of Little ant
Michaels, or to hold that no guilt at
taches to the killing. If the killing
is murder, tho Eagle must condemn it
If it docs not condemn the killing, i
holds that no murder has been com
mitted. The Eagle does not condemn
it, therefore it justifes the killing

hard working men and women, and by
the young who have but few dollars at

the leading men of this town should feel
it to be their privilege as we'll as their

Prior Grove, March 10. 1864.

EDITOR GATE CIrY:-Much dissaiisFac-
tion has been, and is being manifested in
this part of the country, in regard to the
order of Provost Marshal General Fry,
which is, in substance, "that persons en-
listing in the United States service under
the late calls of the President, shall be
credited to the locality where they re-
ceive their local bounty" Now, if this
order is to be adhered to in the coming
draft, it will work great injustice to the
farming districts or townships, which are,
as general thing. too poor to offer large
bounties, while the wealthy towns and
cities can; and tho result is that our coun.
try boys 60 to the towns and cities to
enlist where they can get the largest
bounty, and the cities are credited with
them and the country not; the city is out
Of the draft and the country is to be
drafted, where nost of the men have al
ready went from; the country is stripped
Of laborers and producers, which are toe
scarce now for the public good and should
not be further drained. if thereby the city

Drunksn mcDsuraIl.

The Washington correspondent of th.
st. Louis Democrat writes as follows o1
Che two California Senators:
The loyal press Of California are unani
NOUS in their expressions Of Indignation
in regard to the course Of Senator Nc.
Dougall, and are following up the rcques,
Of the Senate of that State for him to re.
sign, with the most scathiDg and bitter
denunciations Of HE political course and
his personal habits. But am told that
ne will probably pay no attention to the
official sotion Of the Legislature Of his
State. He continues to sink lower and
lower in his brutishness, and lower and
lower into the depths Of Copperheadism.
Whisky and disloy atty have gained com.
plete mastery over him. All personal
Intercourse between Senator CONFESS and
himself has, believe, ceased 1t 10 the
most lamcntable instance of Senstorial
degradation known in Congress for many
years. The contrast between McDougail
and Conness renders the case more espe-
cially noticeable. The latter is man Of
unusual dignity Of department, and the
very opposite, in every respect. of his coli
league. Senator Conness is, indeed, IN
ornsment'te the Senate and an honor to
the State which sent him. 1t is well known
that he was not elected as a Republican,
but as War Democrat, 90 thst the Ad-
minisfration had only right to expect
that he would support it 10 its general
war policy. bat he has wicked constantly
true as . member Of the Unioa party, and
to-day there is not more reliable and
efiiciest aali-slavery man than he 10 the
United States Senate. II there we're any
thing to console California for her betrayal
BY NcDougall, it would be the faithful
approximation. BY Conness, Of her inter-
ests and principles.

way will repay hundred fold.
