With regret propertionate to the confidence
he had won In such relation. The partial
adoption Of lis recent financial measures and
:he effect already begun to be realized had
seemed widely to establish the wisdom and

mcazure, giving fresh proof Of the determi.
nation OF the Government to tax as much as
possible to pay It's expenses, and to borrow
ss little as 1t can. The moment thorough
taxation and borrowing in open market are
ctermined upon, money rises In value aud
commodities fall. The new law absolutely
prohibiting increase of United States notes,
assured the public that the volume Of the
currency had reuched Its maximum, and It's

But part Of the measure remained to be
executed, and must not fail. or the whole
would be tmperilled. It ia Just here that
the Secretary has been thwarted. The full

A MuRDERous REBEL MIssILE.-A Young
man named Kinney. formerly Trojan. but
now belonging to Western regiment, reached
Troy few days since. He served for long
time under General Sherman, and was woun.
ed at the battle of Altoona. The circum.
stances attending his injuries are such rs we
do not recollect to have seen recorded during
the war. Young Kinney was shot in the
lower part of the leg by bullet. apparently
an ordinary rifle ball. 1t lodged in the limb
but did not prevent his walking to the rear.
He had just seated himself in an ambulance,
half hour after being hit. when the bullet
exploded in his leg. shattering the limb ter.
ribly, making four distinct openings and car
rying away quantity Of bone Despite the
severe shock the young hero travelled to his
home in Troy, and is now under the care Of
our surgeons, with chance of recovery. He
is patriotic as he is brave. "Save my limb,
DOCTOR" he said, :" for Gods sake; want
TO get back and join my regiment. But ii
I've got to lose both legs for my country, why
it's all right" The use of missiles that ex
plode half an hour after lodgment in any part
of the body is an English, practiced only by
rebels.

SENSIBLE TALK-~he Boston Journal, a
conservative and patriotic paper, gives its
readers the following sensible talk: But it
is felt BY some, and perhaps by the great
majority. that the war might be carried on
more successfully than it is. The Admins
tration is variously blamed under this head.
We do not pretend that it is free from mis-
takes-but what then, again? Would the
only kind of administration which stands
any chance of succeeding it be likely to do
any better-that is, an administration rely
ing on all the peace men in the loyal States,
all the draft rioters. all the discouragers of
volunteering; an administration inspired and
shaped by the Seymours, the Woods, Vallan.
digham. and Franklin Pierce? How would
these men continue the war? Even if the
war wing Of the party should gain the ascen-
dency, its embarrassments would be tenfold
greater than those which 5eset the present
administration. And besides, what should
we gain to have Grant, Sherman, and Sheri.
dan put aside for the favorite generals of the
opposition? The emancipation and general
negro policy of the President is an eyesore to
some. But what would it profit us to cast
the hundred thousand colored men out of the
army. and to require our troops to pay par
ticular attention to guarding slave property ?
In short, how on earth can we do better than
to fight out the war on the line which treason
and uncomfortable events have established.
taking not single step backward, and paus-
ing not by the way? 1t is high time we
had settled that question once for all.'

THE OLD PIUrE-A sort of mongrel sheet
protesting to be neutral, but always opposing
the Administration and Government, died
on Monday last at Virginia City. From its
ashes springs into brief existence the Con
stitution-'. as it was'-under the editorial
control Of that full blown patriot, statesman
lawyer and lecturer, "Caxton" Rhodes, for
merly of Red Bluff. "Caxton" can't live
where there is fixed population. Either he
or the population must be " floating" Al
it is. the latter that floats in Virginia, We
may reasonably hore that the eastern slope
will for some time have the benefit of his
talents, natural and acquired, in preference
to the western. 'Caxton" left our side be-
cause Of having been beaten in race for leg
islative honors by mudsill.

A TERRIBLE WEAPoN.-A charge Of as
sault with deadly weapon, preferred in the
Police Court yesterday, against Jacob Fried
berg, was dismissed, at the request Of all par
ties concerned, because of the scandal it
would occasion to the Jewish Church to let
the trial proceed, both the assaulted man
and the man committing the assault being
consecrated servants of that Church. The
weapon used was butcher knife with blade
more than two feet long, and as keen as a
razor. The men were butchers, appointed
by disnitaries Of the Jewish Church to
slaughter and inspect all beef intended for
eaie to their brethren, and in dispute some
time ago, one of them partly split the others
head open, from the top of the forehead to
the end of the nose, with the sacred knife,
and also slashed one of his hands. From
these wounds the sufferer has only just re
covered. The Jewish butcher is not appoint
ed to his Office in this country, but is chosen
abroad by college of Rabbis, and sent
hither. He kills beeves designed for con-
sumption by Israelites, Tor anv one else, if
they choose to buy. and after careful exam.
ination, if he finds that the animal is in any
way diseased, it is condemned and discarded;
if the contrary, the seal of the Church is
placed upon it. and it is permitted to be sent
into the market-a custom that might be
adopted with profit by all sects and creeds.
1t is said that the official butcher always
sssures himself that the sacred knife is per-
fectly sharp and without wire edge. before
be cuts bullock's throat; he then draws it
with single lightning stroke land at any
rate not more than two strokes are admiss-
ible), and If the knife is still without wire
edge after the killing, the job has been pro.
perly done; but if the contrary is the case,
il is adiudged that bone has been touched
and pain inflicted upon the animal, and con-
sequently the meat cannot receive the seal of
approval and must be thrown aside. 1t is a
quaint custom of the ancient Church, and
sounds strangely enough to modern ears
Considering that the dignity of the Church
was in some sense involved in the misconduct
of its two servants, the dismissal of the case
without hearing was asked and granted

A Terrible Scene.

A man named McComb was under sentence
Of death in Ottumwa county, Iowa, for the
murder of girl named Laura Harvey, and
however, got an appeal to the Supreme Court.
but on the day he was to have been hanged,
some 1900 people gathered at the Jail, and
avowed determination to hang the prisoner.
A woman mounted the fence and made an
exciting harangue, urging on the mob. and
saying if they would leave it to the women
they would attend to it themselves. A rote
was taken, which was decided to be in favor
of the hanging. A rush was now made for
the Jail, which was forced, and the prisoner
brought out He asked for an hour, which
was given hiu; to prepare for death. A
clergyman was sought, and he was finally
taken into the Catholic Church and baptized.
After this he was placed in a a wagon and
started for execution. The rope was then
fixed and they were about to throw it over
the limb of a tree, the prisoner himself assis-
ting, Before this was done McCOmb reques-
ted permission to make few remarks. He
said -" have the rope around my neck,
as you see, and have but few minutes to
live, but am an innocent man. If you will
give me until next court, will prove that
George Lawrance is living, and that | did
not murder Laura Harvey" At this point
q cry was raised all through the crowd,
Take him back. take him back, accompan-
led with the cry hang him, hang him."
The leaders, fearing that the tide was turn
ing, said that it was getting lats and they
could wait no longer. An attempt was made
to throw the rope over the limb. but several
resolute men jumped into the wagon and seiz.
ed the rope. A short struggle for the pos
session of the rope followed, when the rope
was cut, McComb hustled out of that wagon
into another and driven rapidly to town, and
lodged safely in his old quarters again.

The following extract is from Mcclellan s
speech on the 18th fJune last, at West Point.
We print it for the benefit of the Peace Dem
ocrats who may be deluded into the support
of the "young Napoleon" by the principles
of the platform on which he stands, or pre-
tends to stand, we do not know which. John
r. Ridge. ofthe Grass Valley National, speak
ing of the speech before the nomination was
made, said that it contained sophomorical
twaddle enough to betray the fact that its
author was General T. F. Meagher:
To efface the insult offered to our flag. to
secure ourselves from the fate of the divided
republics of Italy and South America, to pre-
serve cur Government from destruction, to
enforce its just power and laws, to maintain
our very existence as nation-these were
the causes which impelled US to draw the
sword. Rebellion against Government like
ours, which contains the means of self adjust
ment had pacific remedy for evils, should
never be confounded with revolution against
n despotic power which refuses redress of
wrongs. Such rebellion cannot be justi.
fed upon ethical grounds, and the only al.
ternatives for our choice are its SUPPRESSION
or the destruction of our nationality. At
such II time as this, and in such struggle,
political partizanship should be merged in a
true and brave patriotism which thinks only
of the good of the whole country. It was in
this cause and with these motives that so many
If our comrades have givsn their lives. and
