destroying a large number of Ameri-

surrendered to an English guard ship
at the Mersey on the 9th inst The
privates were released on parole and

would be an infringement of British

S We are gratified to lean that
Gallia Academy is in a more -four
ishing and prosperous condition than
at any former period. The rooms
are crowded to their utmost capacity,
and if the building was enlarged it
would still be full. Prof. Sears and
his accomplished lady, assisted by
their present corps of competent
teachers have rendered universal
satisfaction.
We respectfully suggest, that the
Trustees expend a portion of the
large fund they now have on interest,
in enlarging the building so as to
afford the teachers and pupils, lit
tie more air and comfort. There is
no reason to doubt, that such an in
vestment would pay at least 6 per
cent interest and benefit the whole
community instead of one or two
individuals. We need selecS school
for young ladies There is no rea
son why they could not receive in
struction in Gallipolis, as well as at
College Hill or other localities to
which many of our young ladies are
now sent.
The Trustees have the funds. -
The citizens of the county have a
right to all benefits accruing from it.
The latter should speak out at once
in favor oft. Our columns are open
to all who will aid in moving in the
measure.

S The first bounty law passed
by Congress was the payment of
800, to ell who should serve two
years, and only payable after. the
expiration fthat time. A very large
number of volunteers failed to re-
eeire it, because they were dis
charged on Surgeons certificate of
disability before the end of two
years. We know of cases where
The soldiers served 20 to % months,
but received no bounty. This was
grossly unjust to men who volun-
teered more from patriotic motives,
than high bounties, the last of which
induced many 20 enter the service.
when the war was nearly over, who
carefully avoided entering it at the
beginning. Congress will be urged
to correct this evil by granting to all
volunteers eqaal bountles' Without
regard to length of time they have
served. This should be extended
to the three months men of 1861, as
well as II months men of later date
Petitions are now circulating IN va
rious parts of the State, and being
extensively signed, praying Congress
to amend the bounty act, and thus
do Justice to the brave men, Who
entered the army in its darkest
hours, and when the life of the ma
ton seemed about to close.
Soldiers and their friends should
at once take steps to get up peti-
ton of this kind and forward to our
member of Congress NJ. Bundy, who
is well known to favor every thing
that will conduce to the comfort of
the soldier. The law being so amen
ded, all such claims for bounty if
presented to us as Ohio Mil Ag't.,
will be collected free Of charge.

H Our exchanges are filled with
accounts of murders, riots, &c, orig
mating in the two free use of ardent
spirits. 1t would seem as if the
principal business in many places
was selling whiskey. 1t can net be
derived that intemperance, is largely
on the increase since the close Of the
war. In every town and village,
grogshops appear to be located on
every corner. The result is. that
rohberies and even worse crimes are
every where prevalent to an alarm
ing extent
When it is considered that all such
traffic in whiskey, is in direct viola
tion of the statute of Ohio, and rem
ders the dealers liable to fine and i'm.
prisonment, it seems strange that il
should-be carried on with 30 much
impunity.

to it, as at present carried on in G Gal

police who look after these matters
and when they are brought before
our Mayor, he shows them very lii
tie mercy. We merely advert to i
now, to show that our city is no
alone, in suffering from the evil.

s One of the most impoftsr

items Of business, that will come be-
fore the Legislature of Ohio Shortly
to convene at Columbus, is the elec-
ton of .. S. Senator for six years
after the 4th of March, 1867.
Hnns-John Sherman the present
incumbent, Gen. Schenck of the
House, and Jno. A. Bingham, are the
candidates now most prominent for
that office.
The course of Mr.. Sherman for
four years past, has met the approval
of every honest man. and stamps
him a man of talent, statesman, and
possessing in an eminent degree the
qualities required for discharging
the duties of his high office with
credit and honor to the State.
He has shown himself thoroughly
conve rsant with parliamentary tao
tics. He has not been mere follower
Of other men, but has himself been a
fearless leader, at times when to fal-
ter would have been destruction.
His knowledge of the finances and
state of the country is not exceeded
by any one in tt e Senate, and must
prove of exceedingly great value to
the Union party, in the work yet to
be done by it. IL view of all these
facts, why shouldthere be any changer
Why should faithful servant tried
and experienced be dismissed, and
another selected, whose friends can
not claim for him, the same degree
OF exp, rienee and statesmanship?
This rotation in office has in years
gone by, been the bane of the North.
New and inexperienced men were
constantly filling up both Houses OF
Congress from the North, whilst the
South acting more wisely, retained
her old experienced members, and
thereby YVES enabled to gain an as
cendancy over Northern members
they never otherwise could have OBJ
tanned.
Shall this course be again pursued?
Shall we never learn wisdom from
our enemies. Is it wise, at this cri-
sis, with the contest transferred from
the battle field to the halls Of Con-
gress, to change our leoders merely
from whim or caprice?
No discerning mind will deny. that
the perils which vet environ the ship
of State, are very great, and will re-
euire the united efforts of the strong
est and most experienced minds in
the nation, to watt her safely
through.
This being the case is it wise or
prudent to change men of vast ex-
rerience, true devotion, and giant in
tellect, for others to whom such
qualifications are not conceded
We are not to be understood as op-
posed to Gen. Schenck or Mr. Bing-
ham: Both are gentlemen of ability
and patriotism. Both in their re-
spective spheres have done their
whole duty, and none more entitled
to the thanks of the nation. But
there is work Cor them to do where
they are. We require aen of ability
in the lower House Of Congress as
In the Senate.
Gen. Schenck comes from the
Dayton district and probably the
only man who can carry it. We
conld not afford to lose him there
merely to place him m the Senate.
In view of these facts we see NJ
reason why Mr.. Sherman should b,
ousted. We do not think it likely
he will be- He is decidedly tn,
choice of the people of the It'll
District, and believe the votes o
her members will show it.

death, Corporal in the It'll Iowa Cav

Connection with the Republican ceased,
he was for time employed in the In
teEgsncer Office at Charles City, and

listed in the service Of his country. In
all the relations of life he maintained
an honorable position a kind hus-
band and father, an earnest and faith
ful friend, Industrious and honest, he
was esteemed by all who knew him.
Although he died defending our West

had he fallen at Vicksburg or Fort

A despatch summarized from a reb-
ell narrative, gives a detailed dcscrip,
ton Of Sherman's occupation of Co.
lumbia, S. G. Apart from the interest
which attaches to it, as showing how
complete was the destruction of the
rebel capital, the tribute paid to our
splendid Western army is remarkable,
coming as it does, from rebel paper.
No plundering or marauding occurred.
The army was under strict discipline,
and marched as if it had been out only
. day, instead of weeks. No private
buildings were robbed, and no ladies
were insulted. The men were in the
best of spirits, in good condition,
looked well and were we'll fed and
clothed. This is the rebel commenda-
ton. That such an army, rejoicing in
the prestige of success, an army that
had never yet been defeated, can meet
with misfortune is well nigh an impos-
sibility.
