he tried TO destroy, and whose citi-
zens he aided in starving to death
by thousands. His paper ought to
be suppressed and he tried and hung
for treason. The license assumed
by such spirits was what brought
about the rebellion, andit is exceed
ingly bad policy to permit tbe same
rote to be played over. He should
not be regarded as a human being.
He has forfeited all rights; and no
more deserves to live than the prowl-
ing wild beasts. He should be re-
garded as moral pestilence that in
fects the very air which he breathes,
and carries deadly moral contagion
with him into every place which he
can reach. He is a curse to his race,
foul blot upon human nature
more malignant than the devil him
self, and lower and meaner than the
tabled dog Cerberus, that kept the
entrance to the Internal world.
The Richmond Editors did more to
implant spirit of implacable hate
in the bosoms of Southerners against
the people of the North than any
other class, aad they aided in pro-
longing the struggle. They prompted
the rebels to deeds of murder and
violence. They were the apologists
for every diabolical act committed
by rebel guerrillas. They urged
their so-called Government to unjust
and unjustifiable retaliation. and this
Mitchell was at the head and front
of them. He out-Heroded Herod
and out -deviled Beelzebub. But the
English language does not furnish
words adequate to the description of
his villanies. Imagine the fiendish-
ness of all the devils in hell concen-
trated in one individual aud you will
have a faint conception of John
Mitchell, the out law.

SrR.-The long wished
for Hotel accommodations in your

enterprlsing townsman, Mr.. Dufour,
who, without regard to cost, has erec-
ted a magnificent. tasteful and com
modious building; and now under
the guidance of Messrs. Dudding &
Co, who by their gentlemanly way
make their guests feel at home at the
table, and no less so when retiring to
their rooms. In word, the house
and furniture is new, neatly and taste
fully arranged. 1t seems to me that
every thing that heart or stomach
desires can be found at the Dufour
House.
1t has been said, and truthfully
too, that Gallipolis is preferable
place to locate, on account of the
public spirit manifested in manufac-
turing, schools and churches, and
now the last thing wanted in the
public enterprise can be found on the
upper side of the Public Square at the
Dufour House. / advise evry one

R Alexander n. Stephens Vice

H Alexander Fl. Stephens Vice
President of the Southern Confeder-
acy, that Uas,- has presented a pet-
ton covering seventy two pages of
foolscap, to President johnson for
pardon. He seems to have gone into
the business of secession, under a
firm belief that Yankees would not
fight, and that there would be no
war. His convictions on this point
were strengthened by assurance
from Northern Copperheads that the
North would not fight, and If they
did show signs of it, they, the afore
said Democracy would take care that
nobody should be hurt. No doubt
his convictions were further strength
ened by the infamous 5th resolution
of the Ohio Democracy in January,
1861.
Mr.. Stephens acknowledges him
self in the wrong. His special plead
ing, however is in had taste His
speech in the spring Of 1861, at Mil
ledgville, proves that he knew better
1t proves that at that time he had a
full knowledge of the horrors that
would ensue if secession was adopt
ed as the remedy for Southern
wrongs alleged, but which he then
asserted were groundless. Notwith
standing all his arguments unan-
swerable as they then were, the bribe
of the Vice Presidency of the new
Government, proved too much for
his patriotism. He feels as no other
Southern man did, for he knew the
right yet chose the wrong. Under
such circumstances he should be held
to a strict account. Had Mr. Steph-
ems maintained his ground taken at
the outbreak of this war, and WELD
ed his influence for the Union instead
of against, no one can tell the
result AS it is he suffered himself
to be influenced against his convic-
tions, and only after four years of
war, terrible war, has he seen fit to
acknowledge his error. His fate is
a sad one, and probably the severest
punishment which could be inflicted
upon him, would be to allow him to
live out his days in Georgia, despised
and scorned by the very men, who
by his teachings were induced to
take up arms against the Govern
ment. Mercy to Stephens is proba-
bly, the most righteous retribution.

See the rebel JEFF approaching, Davis who
for his bad cause,
Seeking only his own glory, trampled on
our flag and cause,
Quondam President and ruler, would be
despot DER the free,
Hero, when he talked of battle, foremost
among those that flee
He the naughty, stern dictator, ruling with
an iron hand,
Mighty in the field and council, none ginning
his least command,
at his beck the armed thousands, mustered
in the tented field,
For their institutions rally. strike or die
but never yield,
Winter cold, and Summer sultry, athirst
and starving, days or nights,
son to victory and glory" battle for the
Southern Rights"
These his words, while safely sheltered,
girded by devoted bands,
High his tone and proud his bearing guarded
by true hearts and hands,
Rush the legions to the contest, shot and
shell and sword and spear,
Till the land with blood and slaughter,
wounds and death both far and near,
Thousands upon thousands perish, in the
dungeon, in the fights
Manned and weak and pale and CORY, this
the price of Southern rights
Mothers send your best and bravest, maidens
lend the cause your charms,
Send your lovers, wives your husbands,
send them forth to arms, to arms,
On they sped, returning never, death had
marked them for his pray,
Widows tears and orphans sorrow, mourn
the loved ones far away.
Still he urges on the tardy, scarce a third
obey his call,
Holly press the Fed'ral legions, battles roar
and strong holds fall,
Now before the works of Richmond. host
on host in dread array
With the signal TO encounter forever friends
but foes to-day.
They met, they clash oh! God eternal,
bloodin torrents floods the plain,
Dying men with oath's internal, writhe
amid the heaps of slain,
The City's lost, few still struggle, hope
lessly but yet 10th to yield,
"Spare them" are they not our brothers?
''see their leaders flee the feldI"
Follow close, these are the Traitors, those
the tools andled astray,
"Secure the chiefs,'' on them let vengeance,
fall with double weight to-day
Foremost amongst those retreating- hiding,
erouching ike "a thief
Guarding his i'll gotten treasures, fast and
furious flies the chief,
Over plain and over mountain, on and on
by day and night.
"Save Yourself" for death awaits for nought
can save you now but fight,
Hush they eomei Oh hide JEFF. Davisi hide
him Oh thou wretched wife
A felons doom awaits the traitor, justice
claims the rebels life
Sealch the woods, secure each outlet. Harkl
''he's here the cry arose,
Seoff him, shoot him, hiss him, scout him,
skulking off in woman's clothes,
Chivalry! look on your champion, erst Of
Eoble crest and mein,
He who should be clothed in armour, girt
around in "Crinoline,"
Out upon such craven YoemeB, drag the
bastard to his fate,
Give his earrion to the Eagle, cries for
mercy come too late.
