THAT ROBBERY.

Now what has the editor of the Ga
zette to say in answer-Eagle.
Simply this, that your claim of s4OO
damages and the allowing of 1862, by
Council the majority Of whom were
your political friends, was an outrage
to which the people will not submit
The damage done to the type of the
Eagle was by turning it over on the
floor. Most of this could be saved
again with some trouble. The claim
Of 5000 for notes and papers and the
allowing Of this claim with reduction
Of $50 was the most outrageous part of
tho iniquity. We have about 5000 or
$500 in old notes and accountswhich we
would like to dispose of at that rate
Tho editor of the Eagle knew when he
made the claim that those accounts
were not worth 10 per cont. hardly 5
per cont. Every printer knows that
such accounts are hardly worth cbllcc.
ting. Moreover, what right had he to
claim that those notes and accounts
were lost, when the accounts could all
be made out aghin from the books, and
the notes could be obtained again. :
When some of the Eagles friends a
little more than year ago entered the
Gazette and destroyed two fonts oftype
scattering them over four squares Of
tho city, and putting us to an expense
of several hundred dollars for new ma.
terial, the Eagle knowing tho damage
done and what font of typo was
worth, gravcly stated that our loss was
not above S25, Now, by this mode Of
estimating, The damage done the Edglc
did not amount 10 IS, yet we wore
liberal enough to put it at 500 The
thing is being brought home to thu
Eagle. 1t is being paid in its owr
coin. .......... ....
Further, tho Council had no lega
authority to allow this claim to th,
Eagle. 1t is an assumption of power
Who gave cities of this class the pow
or to pay for property destroyed by q
mob? ....r

BG~ A creature called Gen. Bur
bridge, clothed in little brief author
ity, and cutting such fantastic pranks
as might make angels wo1p, has pro-
hibitod the circulation of the CIncin-
natl Enquirer in Kentucky. How long
are tho people to submit to such out
ges2-Erchdnge.
Just so long as the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer continues to encourage rebellion
and give comfort to the enemy. 1t is
notorious, and is not denied, that the
Enquirer is the organ of all the pesti-
lont rebels in Kentucky. 1t is meat
and drink to the Kentucky traitors
who invited and assisted John Morgan
to como into the State, and who have
become so rebellious, murderous, and
intolerable that Union men could not
live with them any longer, and tho
State government was compelled to
call upon tho President to declare
Martial Law. 1t encouraged tho trea-
son OF those thieves and murdercrs,
against whom Gen. Sherman has just
issued an order, declaring that they
must behave or bo sent down tho river
to "nower, ifnot better country"
Tho Cincinnati Enquirer, as we'll as all
papers of its kind, has always cncour-
aged interference with the liberty Of
tho press, when tho press was Aboli-
ton. Before the war, whenever the
Slave power, or any Of its allies in the
North, destroyed an Abolition news
paper, it was justified by the Enquirer
style of papers on tho ground thatAb-
olition journals were incendiary.-
This too, in times of peace, when the
processes Of the law were unobstructed
and thOro was no public danger from
any thing journal could say. But
now, when there is n gigantic and des
pcratc rebellion, making war upon the
Government and raids into our homes
and when newspapers can aid and on
courage it. these Same journals set "
u desperate howl about the liberty O
tho press whonovcr tho President or {
General prohibits tho circulation of {
disloyal papOr in any department o
tho Army.
Whom our OK gorcs your bull i
makes quito different case.

Governor Bramlette, Of Kentucky,
in his letter thanking Governor Nor

The Lancaster Gd-ctte seems to bo an

If wo were given to comparisons We

The Eagle COnviots itself OF TreRsOnabIC
Sentiments.

Tho Ohio Eagle during the year 81
doiondod tho right Of secession and
spoke in favor of letting the South go,
1t has always favored an armistico to
agree upon terms Of separation, and TO-
day it endorses Mr.. Longs declaration
that tho alternative is either subjuga-
tion or recognition, and it prefers tho
ldtter.
In tho Eagle of January "a, 1861,
just before tho war, appeared tho fol-
lowing article: ."'
"REpUBLIoANs ron DIsuNloN.-T The

THE RAID ON BALTIMORE AND
WAsHINGTON,

Our people have been kept in a boil
ing condition during the past week by
accounts OF the rebel raid on Wash
ington. The troops arc Ewell's and
BreckinrfHgc's, and arc said TO nun
Dor $1,000. Tuesday night it was re.
ported that Baltimore was In flames,
and Wednesday morning (among the
Copperhoads) that the rebels had car.
ried the first line of works in front Of
Washington. The latest reports arc
that telcgraphic communication be-
tween Washington and the North is
restored, and that the cities are safe.
The most encouraging nows We have
heard was brought by soldier who
arrived hcre on Tuesday evening from
Baltimore. He was in Smiths corps
which arrived at Annapolis from Po.
tersburgh on last Tuesday week. lie
reports that while ho was passing
through Baltimore, Banks corps, 25,
900 strong, was disembarking. With
the corps of Banks and Smith, and the
forces under Hunter and Couch, Wash.
ington is safe, and every ragged and
hungry rebel in Maryland ought tc
be captured.
Gen. Grant, with his usual intuition
foresaw this raid and sent troops tc
mect it long before the public know o.
its approach.
1t seems little strange that with
the experience Of three Summers, Tho
Government should leave the Shenan
doah Valley unguarded. Every Sum
mer tho rebels make raid down thi,
lsno and find the gate open. 1t is th'
old story over of a Summer raid,
panic, and rescue.

A british NAVAL DEFEAT.


Wo publish elsewhere somo official
accounts of tho result of tho naval
action between tho Kcarsargo and Ala
bama. The Alabama, our readers will
remember, was formerly called the
1890" and has been the terror of our
merchantmen since tho first summer
of the war. 1t was u British built
ship, armed with British guns, served
with British ammunition, and manned
by British seamon. 1t was com
mandcd, however, by tho rObcl pirate,
Sommcs, and claimed to bolong to tho
Confederate Navy" Tho British
journals and people are mourning her
loss and toasting her commander, who
was actually stolen away from tho
KcarsargO by n British "ncutral"
yacht, whose owner had been invited
by Scmmcs to como out and witness
tho fight, Tho rcbol Captain was
hauled into tho British yacht and
covered with sail 10 hide him from
tho boats of tho Kcarsargo whiah were
busy roscuing the crew Of the Ala
bama from drowning. 1t is said that
Minister Adams will demand Semmes
as a prisoner Of war.
In precisely ono hour, by tho time
on board tho yacht Deorhound, from
tho timo tho Alabama opened the
fight, she was gono to the bottom

damage and lost no livos. ~.

1t sounds like the history of the

another such example on record of the

dcnce. Ifany ono had told tho rebels
that in three years after they went to
war, there would be fifty thousand
sick and wounded men in their capital
and that the enemy would be thunder

@ How plainly the hand of Providence
is seen in tho results Of the war. Not

or actual and present war, except
Pennsylvania, and that only for
short timo. On the other hand not ;
slave State has escaped from being
overrun and invadad again and again
except Delaware, and that State cal

Slave States have suffered untold mis-
cry from the desolation, ruin, starva
ton, and all the evils attendant upoI

with their commerce, and mauufac
lures, and agriculture, growing richie
and stronger than ever, and knowing
the hardships of war. only in the los

Nearly every Copperhead Reprcscn-
tative from Ohio, voted against the re-
peal of the Fugitive Slave Law.--Ga-
zette.
All of them did so who were present
when the vote was taken.-Eagle.
So they did, and the Eagle defends
the vote on the ground that the Con-
stitution provides for the return Of flu
gitives from labor There is very
great difference Of opinion, among the
ablest men of the country, upon the
question as to whether the constitution
provides for tho return of Sldues, and
We shall not now attempt to discuss it,
But il the Constitution provides lor
the return of slaves, why have Fugi'
tive Slave LawP The Fugitive Slave
Law was a sop thrown to that mon,

guarantee after guarantee and became
so insolent that Providence, as father
who secs his children imposed upon
and takes up their defense, became
voxed and declared that the Slave
power should go no further. The Ea
gle concludes by saying that Abolition
Representatives are willing to make

AUDITOR.

DAVID PENCE, Esq, the candidate
for Auditor, is ono Of the best-likcd and
most substantial farmers in Pleasant
township. Having but one arm, hc
has not been able to take the field in
defense Of his country, but has con-
tributed in every other way TO the
crushing Of this internal rebellion
against God and man. Still, when
Kirby Smith, with his ragged and
lousy rebels, was menacing Cincinnati,
in the fall of 1862, Mr.. Pence was the
first man seen coming in from Pleas
ant township, carrying his trusty rifle
with his one arm, and inquiring what
time the train loft for Cincinnati. Hc
was one of the pluckiest of the "Squir'
rel Hunters" and deserves better re
ward than a county Office for his patri
otism and his contributions to the
great cause.
