A BENJAMIN Come to Judgement.

When Gen. Grant declared that the
Rebels had robbed the cradle and the
grave, the Rebel Press denounced the
assertion without stint or measure. But
time tests the truth of all things; and
between time and Mr.. Ben amin, we have
double confirmation of Gen. Grants
pithy epigram. Il tell you," says the
Rebel Secretary, "that know not where
white men can be had.'
Trumpet blast could not be louder.
clearer, or more to the point Do you
think" he continues, 1--WE have worked
night after night by this Infamous gas
light you have here, and not found out
this thing?" Indeed we do not, nor do
the Rebels themselves. That, notwitll-
standing the infamous gas light every
nook and corner, cra.ny and dog-hole
were pried into, ransacked and turned
inside out, no one can doubt. The re
suit, no More able bodied white men;
all gone, used up, dead and buried or
lei. the country.
The war was begun upon two delu-
sions, and for the avowed maintenance of
two oligarchies. Cotton was king, and
slavery was divine. How has it turned
out? Cotton is not even heir apparent.
the divinity of Slavery is not so much
second rate paganism. The rebels them
selves are discussing the propriety OF
freeing the negroes, and they are burn
ing their idol King Cotton.
Having gone to war to perpetuate the
bondage Of the slave, they are now call
ing upon him to fight out the battle and
save them before they perish. .-Unless
these lines be re en- forced by black men,"
says Benjamin, '.they viii be forced to
disappear from your front" No doubt
of it.
5a The moral is plain. Elaboration need
not dwell upon it. One brief, closing
sentence contains the whole thing
For" concluded Mr. Benjamin lifting
his hand solnnly above him, Il tell you
there are not enough able bodied men
in the country"

Enlisting Rebel Prisoners.

The enlistment of rebel prisoners into our
military service reckless trifling with the
public danger. and with the work Of recruiting.
and with the Character Of the army. These
men enlist undcrduress. to escape imprison-
ment or return tcthe rebel army. No reliance
can be placed on ,uch men. None but the
worst rebel prisoers will enlist and thereby
make themselve.liable to be shot by the rebels

they are fit to first set free, and given to en-

thusiastic meeting Of the loyal citizens OF Psducah
.embed in Market square, the afternoon of
day. February 25 1855, to express the qualification Of
the community upon the reinstatement Of Gen. =.
Meredith in the command Of the District of Western
Kentucky. At thu suggestion Of Mr.. r. ID. Yeiser,
Albert Bradshaw, Esq. was called TO the chair and F.

the public feeling.
During the retirement Of the committee DR.. J. F..
Mackenzie eloquently rcced the services Of Gen.
Meredith in suppressing the rebellion described the
effect of his policy in rcelaimng this district to the
support of the Government denounced in strong and
fitting language the few n.agnants in the community,
rniscalling themselves Union men, who determn-
ed to be satisfied with nothing that does promote
their miserable sciishness, and concluded by
heartily commenting every act of the Generals ad-
mnistraton TO the applause of all true lovers of JUS
tice and the country.

received with signal marks Of favor the committee

munity overwhelmed with gloom nt the announce
ment of the removal Of commander Gen. =.
Meredith. to-day, in the full tide of rejoicing
because of his restoration to us, and q testimonial
to the world, declare that he is Of the
blcst of meu aad that the masterly manner in
which he has discharged the duties devolvei
upon him, his sincerity of purpose and devotion TO
his country, his agency in quoting the excitement in
his district and bringing the great body of the people
to the loyal support of the Government, meet our
highest regard and appreciation.
Reso,red, That we satisfied that the opposi-
ton to Gen. Meredith originated with irresponsible
men, who finding they could not use him, sought his
removal from command in the hope to subserve their
selfish interests, and without regard TO the public
good E-r
Rssoired, That large majority OF the original
Union men of the community. of the business men
and of the responsible, law-abding and honest sup
portcrs of the Government, throughout this District
ardently desire the permanent retention of Gen. Mere

Secretary TO communicate the foregoing proceeding
