EARLY MOVEMENTS OF THE
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

New YORK, April %.
q. S steam frigate Pensacola, from
New Orleans, has arrived.
The Times Washington special
says that General Grant has left for
the front, and General Burnside for
Fortress Monroe.
tits understood by recent develop
ments, the intentions of the rebels
renders an early movement of the
army of the Potomac highly proba-
Bile.
The recent order Of General Grant
banishing suffers, rids the army of
over $500 supernumeraries.
The War Department has ordered
an additional $1,000 beds to the
present hospital accommodations in
Washington. All patients able to
bear removal, are be sent North at
once.
Reports gain credence that Lee
has sent a part of his army into the
Shenandoah Valley, with the view of
compelling Grant to divide his army,
by sending force in pursuit.

|, ETThe attention of the several
Township assessors is directed to
the advertisement of VIM. Nash au
ditor of Gaflia county. 1t is highly
important that the duties required Of
assessors should be promptly and
correctly done.
The time is short, and it is to be
hoped the assessors will improve it
by making out their lists at once
We make the following extract from
the 9Th section. .a> sos .,
every assessor who shall in any
case refuse, or knowingly neglect to
perform any duty enjoined on him
by this act, shall for every such neg
lect or refusal pay to the State not
less than 800, to be recovered be-
fore any court of record in the State
and shall be committed to the county
Jail until such fine and costs shall be
paid or be secured to be paid"

Mr.. STEWART:
Dear Sir:

We wish
through the columns of your patriot
ic paper to return our sincere thanks
to the Union loving people of old
Gallia for their kindness to us du-
ring our stay with them. To the
townships of Clay and Ohio we are
especially grateful for their many
erich feasts" and social entertain
ments" all of which we enjoyed as
only warworn veterans used to "hard
tack" could have enjoyed them.
Your kindness dear friends shall
never be forgotten, and even in the
hour of battle it will nerve our hearts
and help us by deeds of daring and
honor prove ourselvs soldiers worthy
of the name. We had the pleasure
of meeting buta very few of the
sNAKEY TRIBE during our sojourn in
Ohio, and the few we did meet "snea-
ked" away without showing any
signs of fight. Guess maybe they
were afraid of getting "StGGER' tain
ted.
But for fear Of wearying your pa
tience we will close by thanking the
kind people of Gallia and assuring
them they will ever be remembered
with gratitudeby the:

DETESTATION OF COPPER
- HEADS

We have always regarded the ex-
preston of Secession sentiments
with the utmost adherence, but if
there is a political wretch on the
face Of the earth entitled to be
Especially hated and despised, it is
the Copperhead. Now and then
we hear of one Of those detestable
creatures among us, and whai we
regret most deeply, is, that they hail
from the North. 1t is impossible for
them to conceal their paternity
The ear marks are too visible
Their cantlng professions of "love
for the South and admiration of
slavexy," in order to ingratiate them
selves in the favor of persons of
Southern birth and feeling are really
too disgusting to be countenanced
by any honorable man. Their sym
pathy with the Infamous traitor Val
landigham and his satellites, should
cause them to emigrate North, where
they can find greater number OF
congenial spirits than in this latitude.
As a general thing, the true Southern
man entertains for the Northern
Copperhead the most contemplate
opinion. How infinitely above such
political charlatans as Vallandigham,
the Connecticut Seymour, and the
New York Woods, is the estimate
placed upon such decided Union
men as Lincoln, Chase, Seward, Dix
and others. 1t seems absolutely
degrading to mention honorable
names like these last alluded to. in
the same sentence with the Copper
head leaders. We really ask pardon
for the offence. .i..

~The new 1910 loan Is being

Although the rate of interest is one
per cent less and the time fixed for
payment, double that of the 5-20s,
yet the desire for safe investments
renders the absorption of the. whole
issue in a short time, fixed
fact.
This loan is not subject to State
or local taxation, and even the In
come tax upon the interest is only
one half the amount to be paid on
interest from other sources Both
principle and interest of these bonds
are payable in gold.
We urged our readers to invest in
the 5-20s. Those who did so, have
found it profitable. As we predicte d
they are now at premium. The
IO-40s will be the same. All loyal
citizens who have confidence in the
stability of the Government will not
hesitate to invest their spare funds
in this popular loan. Money cannot
be legally loaned at q higher rate
than 6 per cent. Deduct State and

HWe see it stated that the Vet
eran Reserve Corps are to be dis
banded The officers to be muster
ed out, and those who desire it to be
placed on the pension list. 1t is
hardly probable so gross an act OF
injustice to brave men will be done.
This Corps now consists of about
$4,000 enlisted men, and 600 officers.
They have been SO organized, be-
cause by reason of wounds, or disa-
bility contracted in the service; they
are unfit for active duty in the field.
But for hospital or garrison duty
they are amply able, and for this
kind of duty they were specially or;
ganized. By this means large
force Of active ablebodied men were
sent to the field. Even in point of
economy, it would be injudicious to
disband this Corps. On the pension
list they would receive SSper month
instead of $3.50 that Goyesnment
has their services for S5 per, month.
We hope this change will not be
made. The Veteran Reserve Corps
are entitled to the gratitude Of the
nation. Offering their services at a
time when most needed; now when
broken down in health they still offer
to do their duty-and they do it
Just here we wish to say word OF
the Veteran Reserves at this post
AS a body of men we are bound to
say that they are not surpassed by
any company of men in the service,
for their gentlemsnly and soldier
like conduct. Always neat and tidy
in their appearance, observing the
rules of good order and propriety on
our Streets they are entitled to,
and receive the respect Of eur citi-
ZenS. 4s-ft- .sr q
In their performances of guard du-
ty at the hospital. they are rendering
most effective service, and we have
heard many of our influential and
most respectable business men ex-
press desire to have this force so
Increased, as to render our town
more secure in case Of raid than it
now'seems to be. ;-.<3Hs -. -5a5
