reading of especially in good Union Repub-
lican newspapers: y First that National
debt is National blessing" a sentiment
gotten up in the aborigine of despotism,
which is admirably calculated to create and
to fatton certain class of incorrgiblcs who
have made fortunes off of the public, and
would tax the future in lustry of the country,
for their especial benefit. Second ''Thc En-
pire of the Northwest theme which some
consum ate fools have invented, either because
they would substitute our republican insttu-
tons with "loyal Empire or find out where
the greatest number of fools are really con-
sentrated, whether in the Northwest or the
palaces where these fancies originated. Far
better will it be for the country that this class
: of guid nu,Ms should counsel how and when

ness should be paid and how the authority of
the National Government shall be recon

n:a- The following extract from letter,
written by Major General Phil Sheridan, was
read before public meeting in New York:
''Thore is no use to beat around the bush in
this Mexican matter We should give per-
manent Government to that Republic Our
work in crushing the rebellion will not be
done until this takes place. The advent of
Macmillan was portion Of the rebellion, and
his fall should belong TO its history Most of
the Mexican soldiers of Maximlian's army
would throw drown their arms the moment we
crossed the Rio Grande. The French inhu-
ence has governed by sheer impudence.
This letter from Gen. Sheridan was greeted
by all present with enthusiastic expressions of
pleasure and delight. ~

EEy" For some time the Ohio river has been
in unusually fine condition for navigation, du-
ring which vast shipments of coal from above
as well as this vicinity have been in transit for
the lower markets, which II casual observer
would suppose would glut the market with
this great staple; but such from the quotation
Of prices below appears not to be the case;
on the contrary we feel warranted in stating
that was the supply double what it now is
taking into consideration its increasing con-
sumption and the demand created in the
southwestern States,-thc market for this min
eral relying as they do on our waters for a
supply, could not possibly be overstocked and
Notwithstanding the vast capacity of the east
.eru portion of southern Ohio and Of the neigh
iboring West Virginia, to pour this treasure in
ito the lap of commerce, we believe the de-
mand considerably exceeds the supply, and is
likely to do so, until the interior of our fine
region of country for coal shall be penetrated
by railroads, giving new life and yigor to
commerce, and increased value to real estate.

SHORT WORK MADE OF A scouNDREL-
Tcrre Haute, Aug. A. Yesterday a paroled
rebel prisoner named Miller, who had induced
ia Mr.. Gregory, proprietor Of the Spencer
House, Louisville, to visit Shelburn, Sullivan
county, twenty miles below this city, under
pretcnse of selling him some land, attacked
Gregory murderously in the woods near Shell
burn and beat him nearly to death, stabbng
him several times, and robbed him of ninety
dollars and watch. The people turned out,

and hung him on tree near where the crime
was committed. Faint hopes are entertained
of Gregorys recovery.
