which anybody but Yankee Doodle would ever have thought of manufacturing officers. In short, few of the volunteer officers now in limbo were recognized at home as gentlemen, and cannot be expected to succeed in a character which they have never even attempted. We have enough of such cattle to feel perfectly sure that, if treated according to their deserts, they would be meek and humble as lambs. At the same time, forbearance and humanity should still be exercised to these men, until the Lincoln Government fulfills its threats of putting to death Southern prisoners. It would be entirely consistent with this forbearance and humanity to make some disposition of the prisoners, which would abate the cost of their maintenance and increase the difficulties of their escape. As our gallant privateersmen are immured in that foul criminal prison, the Tombs, of New York, we would suggest that the prisoners here be removed to the Penitentiary, which is the spacious, cleanly and comfortab

he exception of officers of the old regular army, who are generally gentlemen, and can appreciate the courtesy which treats them as such, acts of compassion and indulgence to these prisoners are simply pearls cast before swine. Their volunteer officers especially are, in general, perfect caricatures of officers, knowing nothing of the art of war, and many of them ignorant of the decencies of civilization. The original vocations of some of them were about the last from which anybody but Yankee Doodle would ever have thought of manufacturing officers.

life would have been spared. And we believe, moreover, that the North would have been right, as we believe that the South would have been, if a had pursued such a course. We are quite sure that the forbearance of the South has had no other effect than to exasperate and embolden a cowardly and cruel foe to fresh acts of barbarity and oppression. Our prisoners put in irons and threatened with death; peaceable citizens arrested and sent to Fort Lafayette; the proclamation of martial law in Missouri, where every man who takes up arms for his freedom is menaced with instant death; the preparations to bombard and lay in ashes the city of Baltimore upon the approach of a Confederate force; these, and a thousand like instances of unexampled barbarity, show that the mild and merciful course of the Southern Government has been imputed to fear by men who themselves never abstain from evil except under the same principle. It is not at all surprising that among the prisoners themselves the
William M. Hammond (search for this): article 1
Another Daring robbery. --Our readers have by this time become prepared for hearing of almost any sort of diabolism; yet the story we are about to tell of a robbery which has been committed in this city will stagger their credulity. On Friday night last, the house of Dr. William M. Hammond, on Eighth, between Grace and Franklin streets, was burglariously entered and robbed of every valuable article upon which the burglars could lay their hands. They entered the house through the window in the basement of the rear of the house, taking out the window and leaving a clear track for escape in case of detection in the act. Among the goods stolen, were the Doctor's valuable surgical instruments, a guitar, a set of Britannia ware, chandeliers, a number of fancy articles of furniture or ornaments, caps, capes, laces, and, indeed, a most varied assortment of articles which it is not necessary to name. The entire loss of Dr. H. is estimated to be not less than one thousand dollars. Some
Sydney (Ohio, United States) (search for this): article 1
A meeting will be held this Evening, at 8 o'clock, in the Sidney Methodist Church, for the purpose of forming an Association and establishing an Hospital for the benefit of sick soldiers. A full meeting of the citizens of Sidney, and others who feel an interest in the object proposed, is very desirable. A previous meeting having been held, and a Committee appointed to ascertain the prospect of success in such an undertaking, have found them most flattering. Members of the Committee. se 16--1t

Floyd and Rosencranz. --We publish this morning the official telegraphic report of Gen. Rosencranz of his engagement with Gen. Floyd on the Ganley, which happened on Monday last. This report has hardly any inclination of an engagement on the yet without any letters or dispatches from the army of General Floyd touching this engagement! Nevertheless, we have conver driving in the advanced guard and vigorously assailing General Floyd in his position a short distance from the north bank ofl, with evidently a severe loss. The pickets informing General Floyd that the enemy was making a movement with the view of firection of Gauley. He states that it was understood in Gen. Floyd's camp, that Rosencranz had twenty-two thousand men ! This we doubt; but if it be true, Floyd's gallant hide army has a greatly superior force in numbers to cope with, and covered i It is merely an extravagant statement of the fight between Floyd and the Federal General.
