LoyaILeague Traitor.
Correspondent of the Pittsburg Post


Isee by the New York papers of yester-
day that ,"loyalist" of the latest and most
approved pattern has permitted his over
jealous patriotism to get him into Fort
Lafayette. The name of the unfortunate
Patti IT is A. NJ. Palmer, and he is said to
be the relative as well as the Private Sc
cretary5 of the Collector Of the Port Cf New
70 K, Mr.. Hiram Barney. He is also said
to be Secretary Of the "Union Committee"
and it appears he was in the habit of at
tsndingn Republican meetings as speech
maker, nj which capacity it was his custom
to denounce severely those disloyal scamps,
'the copperheads." He was heavy on al
who give aid and comfort to the rebels by
voting the Democratic ticket. But he lad
an eye to business as we'll as patriotism, and
seeing chance to make monee by assisting
to get goods intended for the rebels through
the New York Custom House, he went in
strong for putting down the rebellion by
shipping goods to the rebels in Nassau. The
thing worked splendidly for a long time, and
-meuey yrelledinto- the pockets Palmer as
fast as ever it did into shoddy contractor.
As his pocket expanded, his loya.ty and
patriotism were trengtheDed and stimula-
ted, and he would cheerfully have contribu
ted to the purchase of a repezto hang such
traitors as Governor Seymour. But the
mask fell of at last, and another was added
to the long list of Lincoln abolitionists who
have preached patriotism and practised
treason. rand new Palmer the Union
Lacquer and Government Official, has gone
to mortify bis flesh and aflct his spirit in
that grand receptacle Of traitors, Fort La
fayette. A poor private in the army is shot
for deserving aud going home to see his
wife and childreo, or his father and mother.
Should any better fate be reserved for this
Loyal League scoundrel, who, while draw
ing a salary from the Government OF the
United States, was engaged in furnishing
supplies to the enemy? 1t 10 altogether
likely that 2almer's distinguished lcyaly
will bring him out of this scrape unharmed;
but if it doSS, some one higher in authority
ought to beJfupg in his stead.

CURIOUS LOGIC IL THE SENATE.-On the
resolution of Mr.. Hale, the other day, call.
ing for an invest stigation into the affairs OF
tho Navy Department, several Senators op
posed it, and used the curiou. logic that the
measure would cast some reflections upon
the management of the department and on
the course of the administration and Hon
est Abe. This argument is almost tanta-
mount to an admission that there is some
thing wrong somewhere. Surely, if there
be, Honest Abe Lincoln would be the last
man to object to an investigation. Ii is the
duty of government to investigate all frauds
in the public service, whether they may lie
at the doors of members of their own party
or not. The logic Of the dissenting Sena
tors is thus very bad, if not very suspicious.

Greek Fire q Humbug.

From letter received by relative in
this city, from our former townsmap, Gen
eral Truman Seymour, within two days be-
tors, the starting of his expeditien, we are
permitted to make an extract which will be
read with interest. 1t charaeterizes Greek
fire as humbug, and says that Charleston
is not to be burned up, just yet:
"Ycu ask why it is, since the shells are
being constantly thrown Into Charleston
that the city is not destroyed. Simply
because it cannot be done. To fire build.
ings with shells is not generally possible
under favorable circumstances, and these
circumstances are certainly as unfavorable
as could possibly be. To keep up heavy
and continuous fire many guns would
be required, and points that l can
not now explain, connected with
this new co"dision Of the service OF
artillery, have . teicvcstieated and solved,
and new material provided in accordance
Herewith, bcio:e such bOmbardment as
that now going on can be considered de
structive-at least to the degree that the
the public hatred of Charleston seems to de-
mand. And as you may suppose that Greek
fire can do now what the journals have so
generally reported as having already been
done, it may add that Greek fire is only
one of the numerous humbugs of the day
and that not she'll containing it is known
to have entered Charleston. On the con,
trary, it has been complete failure, from
the premature explosion Caused by its use.
Such | understand to be the merits of the
Greek fire question. Finally. tn. re is prob
ably no intention of burning Charleston, as
such acts are not now considered quite as
consonant with the spirit of Northern war
fare Chat is of the highest type Of civilized
warfare) as even many folks consider admi-
rable. .n-TrOy Times.

Details Of the Ewen Raid.
CUMBERLAND, Jan. 9, 1854.


Perhaps by mere accident rather than
through gross negligence, on the part OF
Rebel brigade commander, we have be
some possessed Of an official document set
ting forth what was intended to be the
original plan of General Early's late op-
erations.
have not now the opportunity to enter
into details, but in a general way will state
that General Early was to cut the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad at Martinsburg,
and by combination of movements, at
tempt the capture of such Union forces as
were between Martinsburg and New Creek.
At tn latter place, General Early, hav
ing b card that we were concentrating
troops at Martlnsburg, and having also
been reliably informed that Gen. Averill
was there with strong cavalry force, de-
termined, after consultation with several
Rebel commanders, to alter his plan-he
coming to the conclusion that he could not
attack Martinsburg with any likelihood of
success, and that he could not now retreat
without bringing censure on himself fer
having advanced on so hazardouss enter
prise without also having at least maze an
effort to secure his object or ipjure us IN
some way. He therefore dispatched Gen
erals Fitz Huhg Lee and Rosser TO attempt
the capture of the garrison at Petersburg,
Hardy county, How this failed the reader
already knows
Rosser was to try and get into Cum.
berland aud capture or destroy the stores
there.
Both Lee and Rosser failed because Ear
ly could not get to them the promised re
endorsements, with artillery, &c. There is
| what the official Rebel document says IN
regard to the late movements aud different
plans adopted.
We have also become possessed Of very
! important information in regard to the
strength and position Of the Rebel commands
and the avowed intentions of several Rebe'
officers in high position.
A report is in circulation relative to the
capture of the garrison at Jonesville, West
I Va, leaving the inference that the COM
mander of the Department Of west Va, is
I responsible for our loss at that place. Such
is not the fact. The command thus cap
tured was hin the limits OF Gen. Fosters

The effort was made to follow them up,
and our cavalry did attack the rear of one
or two Of the enemies columns, picking up
stragglers and the like, but on a careful
consideration of tbe whole facts Of the case
it was found that a general movement at
that tine would have been hazardous in the
extreme, from uncomfortable physical
causes entailing fatal effectsto large num-
Der of men and horses from the severe state
of the weather. Besides, what would have
been gained? Even conceding the. fact that
our plans would have been entirely success
full, the result obtained would not have
been anywhere near an equivalent for the
losses from the effect of the weather and
other causes, that we necessarily should
have been compelled to sustain. General
Fitzhugh Lee at one time believed his OBJ
ject to have been secured effectually, and
gave out that Ae had captured the garrison
at Petersburg, and that he would certainly
get into Cumberland or New Creek the fol
