Our Duty md Onr Interest.


The City OF Wheeling and the county
of Ohio have vital Interest in the sue
cess orthe Union ticket tomorrow. Our
Legislature will be largely, Overwhelm-
ingly Union, whether we fall or stand
for the good cause. 1t makes little diff
ference, except to ourselves, how we
vote. The Stnte will be right ut all
events. DO we, the people of this man

lntion-somanyg grants, charters and spe-
cinI nets; do we want to stand ut nntag-
onism with that gOOdly company, the
loyal sisterhOOd of our counties? 1t Is
not only the part orpntriotism, but also
orsound policy to stand one and insep-
arabic with themP Why do we want

Secretary stanton. !.

The following testimony has just been olic-
tied before the Committee on the Conduct

y TESTIMONY OF GEN. MEADE
@. You have been in the army almost
since the war commenced, and have had an
intimate connection with and knowledge Of
the Army of the Potomac as any General,
know. For that reason desire to place on
our record your answer to the following in.
quiry: In what manner has Mr.. Stanton the
Secretary of War, performed his duties in
regard to the supply Of the army and the
support Of the military operations under
your charger
A. So far as my knowledge extends, and 1
have had many relations with the War
Department, ] can most cheerfully say that
everything | have required, or that thought
ought to be done, has been promptly atten-
ded to by Mr.. Stanton as the head of the
War Department.
! @. What do you say of the talent and
ability with which Mr.. Stanton has con.
Quoted his department. A. consider that
the department has been conducted with
great ability. There may have been some
matters in which may have differed with
Mr.. Stanton and might have criticised his
! operations.
Q. Speak of the general management Of
the Department. A. As to the general
management of the War Department,
consider it has been conducted with great
ability. -..., ,..... n'.I.

particular, between you and the Secretar.
of War, since you have been in command
A. Never any expressed to me; never hat
any reason to suppose that any fault wa
, found with anything | had done; so far a
the Secretary Of w ar and myself are concern
ed, he has never interfered with my duties
never thrown any obstacle in the way of an

tated course of campaign to me, and nev
or inquired what | was going to do; he ha
, always seemed satisfied with what did, an,
has heartily co-operated with me.

The Marvel EXPLAINED.

Mr.. Jay Cooke has just made an explain.
alton OF the means he employed to obtain
in one week subscriptions to tho National
Loan, amounting to nearly one hundred
million dollars. The explanation is in a
single-word-hs ADVERTISED This ex.
plains the marvel. He did nothing more;
but he did it well. Ho accomplished moth,
ing, that another man may not accomplish
in his own business. Liberal advertising in
the papers was the rod with which he smote
tho rock and performed financial miracle.
Mr., Cooke, in 1861, after the banks ol
Philadelphia had refused to take the State
loan OF Pennsylvania at over ninety pei
cent, undertook to place tho whole ($3,
000, ,O0o) at per by an organized appeal tc
the people through the Press, This no did
in less than three weeks, and while United
States securities were selling under par, =
He was afterward sent for by Mr.. Chase tC
apply this successful system to the United
States loans; and through his extensive sys
tenn Of advertising, he has since placed the
whole OF our immense national obligation.
at par.
There are people to- whom everything
seems easy Of doing when II has been done
But Mr.. Fessenden, after trying the exper
iment OF placing the first Sevsn-thrty loan
through the banks in vain, was obliged, in
the interest OF the nation, to recur 10 the
experience and enterprise Of Mr.. Cooke. -
II is as certain as any thing can be, that nc
loans have ever been placed, by any Eu
ropean government. at nearly so small an
expense to tho government as ours have
been; and simply because OF the mean,
made use of to reach the people. There i,
not a branch Of business, not dealer of any
kind. that cannot profit correspondingly,- =
Mr.. Fessenden thought il was expensive tC
advertise and quit doing it. He got nc
money and into trouble. Mr.. Cooke spent
literally, but in tho end il proved vastly the
cheapest method. Let the business man
the dealer, great aud small, apply the les
son TO himself. The secret Of our financia
marvel, the wonder of all countries, is ad
vsrtising.

ROBERT NAYS, %
Stated Clerk ofPres. Of New Lisbon.

The Chattanooga Gazette of Thursday
says, from every direction in Georgia ac-
counts reach it of starving women and chill
dren. For miles there is not horse or
mule to be seen, and no seed for the people
to plant, Gen. Wilson has ordered that all
the produce gathered for the rebel Govern.
ment, in the shape oftaxes or tithes, should
be distributed to the people, and that all
the extra animals and wagons should be
loaned out TO them, his Quartermasters
taking receipts for them. But all this, good
as far as it goes, is not sufficient. Some
means should be adopted to feed these wo.
men and children now, or they will posi-
lively die Of starvation.

Important Disclosures by NIr.
EO0te--Jef Davis and his Cab
met Responsible for the STAR
walton Of our Prisoners.

New York, May lS.-The Herald $
Washington correspondent says that the
question which has long been agitated, as
to who is responsible for the cruel treatment
OF our prisoners confined in Libby and 9th
ers prisons in the South, may now be con-
sidered as definitely settled through no less
person than ex-rebel Senator Eoote 1t
appears that Mr.. Foote twas member of
the committee in the Senate to examine
into the treatment Of the prisoners, and the
reports of their harsh usage and starva-
tion. His story, as told by his own rela.
tives, shows deeper intention than has
been generally supposed, and fastens upon
jeff. Davis and his Cabinet crime both
startling and appalling in its details. Mr.
Eoote, it is said, states that the investiga-
tions showed conclusive evidence that it
was decided in Cabinet meetings, to reduce
the rations served out to the prisoners that
it should so weaken their constitution, in
connection with their confinement, that it
would destroy them as soldiers, and make
them, when exchanged, worthless.
Senator Foote determined to report these
facts to the Senate, but the balance OF the
committee overruled him and suppressed
the facts My informant further states that
it was on this point that the quarrel between
DuNls anu roole pEoke OUT alTesl, Wnlcn re-
suited in the latter leaving Richmond, and
seeking some ''sequestcred spot" where
such horld deeds were not committed. =
Here then is the evidence conclusive of } eff.
Davis and associates guilt in the diabolcal
deed Of starving our prisoners, decd which
makes the most stoical person shudder to
contemplate. Men who will coolly aud de-
libcrately plan a scheme like that will con.
spire to assassinate President or any Other
person. It is fitting sequel that the au
thors Of such deeds should end their careers
in cowardly manner, dressed in petticoats.
No wonder JEFF. Davis's oloyen foot reveal
cd who he was. nd '..., fr ...

a RCmfntsCCnCe OF Jen. Davis.
Many persons, upon reading the dis
patch announcing the capture of JET
FBRsoN DAVIS in his wife's dress, were
inclined to discredit the latter part of
the affair. Rebels in the South and
their friends in the North and in Eu.
rope for four years and more have been
trying to make the people believe that
DAVIS was highly-bred, gallant, chiv
alrous gentleman, far above all other
men. Mr.. GLADsToNB-British Min
lister of the Exchequer--said he had
"created a nation" The New York
News--BEN. WooD's paper--said Of
him, only few days ago, May ID, "He
is one of those rare types Of humanity
born to control destiny, or to accept,
without murmur, annihilation as the
natural consequence Of failure"
We call to mind circumstance re.
lated to us while in Woodsfeld, in 1860
by Hon. WM. F. HUNTER. Mr.. HUNTER
was a member Of Congress from this
District during Gen. TAYLoR's Admin.
istration, and was in Washington al
the time of the quarrel between Col
BIssELL and JEFFERSON DAVIS. Col
BIssELL was member Of Congress
from the Springfield (Ills.) District
had been Colonel of an Illinois regi
