MPseudo Patriotism.n

Under this caption, The Neoark Advocate
publishes the following communication,
relating 10 the recent frightful accident on
he Central Ohio railroad:
Mr.. EDIToR:-Still another specimen of
the bogus patriotism. of our Abolition
friends comes to our notice. Your readers
are well aware of the frightful railroad ac-
cdent that occurred at Columbia Center last
week, an occasion where the smallest spark
of humanity would show itself if it existed
at all. Among the sufferers were number
of soldiers, who, having done their whole
duty at the front, were now mustered out
and returning to their homes. These were
lying manned and bleeding about the track.
Everybody in the neighborhood threw
open their doors to the sufferers, and Demo-
Gratis as well as the rest, did all they could
to alleviate their suherings and bind up
their wounds. 1t was left for the ''loyalty"
TO show the cloven foot, which it did as fol-
lows: One j. l.. Robinet, rampant nigger-
loving Abolitionist, who lives in the neigh
borhood, having his team near the scene of
the disaster, was asked to haul load of the
wounded soldiers to place prepared to re-
ceive them; but this soldier-louing patriot
refused, except on the payment Of $12 90.
lie was offered ten, but would not take it,
when the bystanders, heartily disgusted
with his inhumanity, took his wagon, as
they, ought to have done, and paid him
nothing.
One Charles Neff, also living in the neigh
borhood, and who has shouted for the mig
ger and id the copperheads for the last
tOur years with remarkable gusto, charged
$36 for hauling load of the same wounded
soldiers from the railroad wreck to Fairfield
county. Others exerted themselves for the
suffering ones, but no one dreamed of charg-
Ing anything. Houses were opened, and
beds prepared by the epeople, physicians and
surgeons attended, but none charged any-
thing, and it was left to the above brace of
patriots to show their real feeling for the
soldiers, which they did.
, Soldiers, you see how it is. The loyalists
have no further use for you. When Demo-
cratic printing offices were to be mobbed,
or butternut breast pins to tear off, YOU
were patted on the back and told to do it;
what they had not the pluck to do them
selves. But now you are mustered out, you
must give way to the sooty, scented sons of
Africa; you are not black enough for the
occasion. You should have taken the pre-
caution to black your faces and kink your
hair, before getting smashed up on the cars,
at Columbia Center. More anon.

Gen. TOrbett Relieved by Gen. En-
Ory--Dick Taylor Visits Jeff:
DaVfs. .f H

New YORK, Aug. 1.-The Times Wash
ington special complains of the action of
Gen. Emory, in command of the District of
the Shenandoah, in relieving Gen. Torbett.
Itappears that Gen. Torbett went to Wash
ington few days since, and Gen. Emory,
learning the fact. relieved him from his
command at Winchester, and directed him
to report at Baltimore under arrest. Gen.
Emory also preferred charges against Gen.
Torbett, among which was one with being
absent from his post without leave, at a
time of great Importance. The Times cor
respondent institutes comparison between
the officers much to the damage of Emory.
A special to the World from Washington
says: 1t is understood that the rebel Gen.
Dick Taylor obtained permission for an in
terview with his brother in-law. jeff. Davis,
and left for that purpose on Saturday for
Fortress Monroe. His application for a pa
role to visit Europe, it is said, was refused
him.

The Government Printing Omce--
Returned HOme--Crops in Vir-


WASHINGTON, Aug. LIN the course OF
the present month the new addition TO the
Government printing office will be COM
pleted. Fifteen new steam power presses
are added to the already large establish
ment. Owing to the extraordinary demands
for printing by the War and Treasury De-
partments, some of the work ordered by
Congress remains unexecuted. The increas-
ed facilities will insure more promptness in
the future.
A number Of persons prominent in the
late rebellion, who had been here several
weeks waiting to see the President have
left the city, without thus being gratied.
There are not more than two thousand
patients in the various Government hos
pitfalls in this city and neighborhood. Nearly
all of them are now being vacated and the
patients concentrated at Armory Square,
Douglas and Stanton hospitals.
A gentleman who has just returned from
a tour through the counties of Stafford, She
nandoah and Orange, Virginia, reports that
he found the inhabitants generally in a
very destitute condition, with no money
and very little of anything aside from the
present crops. The corn crop, though not
very extensive in acres, will be unusually
large in yield. 1t Is thought that more corn
will be raised, in proportion to the number
OF acres planted, than was ever before pro-
duced in that section of the State.
The common people are very well salts
fled with the termination Of the war; and
the rebel soldiers who have been longest in
the field appear to be the best satisfied with
the present condition of affairs. The
preachers, editors and politicians of the old
State Rights school are the only ones who
still adhere to the idea of Southern inde-
pendence. In many instances ex-rebel
Lieutenants, Captains, Majors and Colonels
are engaged in tilling the soil, who, before
the war, would have considered such an oc-
cupation degrading.

Presumption Claims TO Indian
Lands.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-The Heralds Wash
ington special says: In cases where pre-
emptions have been recognized on lands
within the Sioux Indian Reserve on the
Minnesota, by the pre-emptor proving ti-
tie according to law, the latter has been
made to pay the appraising value of the
land, and also the value of the Indian inn
provements. In this connection case has
recently arisen and been decided by the
Commissioner of the General Land Office,
that when the presumption claimants alleges
there are no Indian improvements on the
land in controversy, and filing affidavits OF
the same at the laud office for the District
in which it may be located, an examination
shall be ordered by the Commissioners at
st. Peters, and the Presumption and Indian
Agent notified of the proceedings; and if
the former shall succeed in establishing the
proof of his avowment, ne will be allowed

don, o., Democrat of the Goth ult. says:
The great crisis is over, and the buyers
and sellers Of wool have come to terms, so
far as Madison county is concerned. Dur
ing the present week several wagons load
ed with wool, sacked and ready for ship
ment, have passed our office window, and
the trade may now be said to be fairly open
ed. The principal buyers, as far as we have
learned, are Messrs. w. & JyFarrar, of the
Cowling Warehouse. On Tuesday last these
gentlemen purchased over 10000 pounds at
GO cts. per pound. This price is paid only for
good wool; an inferior article will not bring
that price. We are glad that the market
has finally opened, as it will bring into cir.
culation several hundred thousand dollars
that has been lying idle for some time
past, and which was badly needed by our
farmers.
