Taking Richmond.

General Butler proposes to call for one
hundred thousand men to enlist solely lol
the purpose Of taking Richmond, and
whose term Of service shall expire when
that result shall have been accomplished
We think Butler will find the one hun.
drcd thousand men hard to get for that pre-
else purpose; but he can easily find that
number, or even three hundred thousand
who are perfectly willing that somebody
else should undertake the operation There
are five thousand clergymon who have not
the slightest objection to furnishing men
out Of their congregations for such purpose;
there are ten thousand Government Contrac-
tors who are perfectly willing that any other
ten thousand men should enlist To take Rich
mond and there are not less than five hun
dred thousand abolition editors and Office
holders, who are patriotically anxious 90
take Richmond, providing some one else will
perform the operation. Butler can get any
quantity Of this class Of men TO take Rich

is much the shortest and decidedly the weak

Chief Executive of Ohio. Ton, in this, his
last message. takes thclibcrty to depart from

and the old political harlot embraces the op-

ungcncrous filings at Mr.. CRITCHFIELD
which a village tattlcr would make against
any innocent person at whom an injury was
aimed.
The State officers are elected by the peo-
pie and are responsible to them for the man
ncr in which they discharge their duty, the
Governor having nothing to do with them;
but suppose he had, what kind of Cover
nor is it who, under such circumstances,
would throw out hint that an officer had
not discharged his duty without pointing out
wherein he had been remiss? After com
plimentng some other officers TOP says he
can say so much for the Attorney General.
The reason is because his prejudice and vim
dictivencss gets the better Of his love for
truth
When we say TOP ha, not discharged his
duties we give our reasons for it, He has
violated his oath of Office by violating the
Constitution of Ohio and the Constitution
of the United States, He has let political
prejudice control him in his official acts -

Late official reports show that in Boston,
in the House of Correction, the prisoners,
male and female, are obliged to batho in
the same room in common that boys and
young girls are lashcd upon their naked
bodies with heavy cart whips and rattans by
athletic overseerS that the inmates were
systematically starved; and, finally, dcpriy
of religious teaching. Nobody who knows

New Church Orga nizatiOn.

Certain men in this State arc moving to
effect an organization of churches in which
politics shall be excluded, and the Gospel
pure and simple, oxpounded. The move
mcnt is very joculary treated by the New
York Tribune, in a recent issue. This is
not strange, as the most effective allies of
the abolition party are preachers Of the abb
clifton persuasion. Their efforts are more
effective in contributing to the success of
the party than even the reckless partizan-
ship Of its press The result Of abolition
preaching is felt at the balot-bo and this
effect it is which has secured clerical politi
clans Of that mold so hearty support from
the fanatical press, and has strangely miXeC
cant with political essays in newspapers
and political dcmagogueism with the ser
mons Of our divines, Many of our churchc;
now are merely political wigwams, in which
congregations are influenced, under a hypo
critical pretence of Christianity, to vote lol
such creatures as Callicott and Cameron. -

The Dictator.

The ocean iron-clad Dictator recently
launched in New York, is by far the most
formidable vessel ever constructed in this OF
any other country. Her frame is composed
Of iron, over which is a 'skin'' of wood
three and half feet in thickness, and over
this again six one-inch plates, making the
thickness Of the armor eleven inches Iho
English ship Warrior and the trcnch snip
Lo Gloire both considered by their rcspcc-
two p,,;ons as model iron-clad vessels, have
only a plating of four and half inches.
The Dictator has single turrot, which is
covered with iron fifteen inches in thickness,
and is worked by machinery of an improved
pattern. The ram is twenty-five feet, ofoak
and iron. and can be removed or shot away
without damaging the vessel Her machin-
cry is enormous The boilers are six in
and have fifty-six furnaces; the
cylinders are one hundred inches IN diane
ter, and work piston with four feet stroke.
The propeller is true screw" two and u
half feet in diameter, has thirty-lour feet
pitch, weighs about twenty tons, and is so
protected that a shot, in order to strike it,
will have to pass through 2G feet of water.
1t remains to be seen whether the Dtcta-
tor, which presents but little surface above
the water line, and which will require one
hundred and sevcnty-fve tons of coal per
day, will be able to cross the ocean. From
her lowness in the water and her enormous
weight, the result seems doubtful.

SIirLS Of n Feather

Vice President HAMLTN and several abo-

notorious SIMON CAMERON at his residence

force himself into the Senate by bribery un-
paralleled, in this country, in boldness and
