Yankee (search for this): article 2
Punishment of extortioners The Legislature have decreed to punish the keepers of gambling houses with the lash, and it is a pity they had not adopted a punishment as severe for the worst kind of gamblers — speculators and extortioners.--The "tiger" ruins a few people, who have themselves to blame as much as the tiger for the distress which they suffer. But the extortioner fastens his fangs upon innocent victims, and grows fat upon the life-blood of the whole community. The most efficient punishment which can be adopted for these criminals is to put them all in the army. Not one man convicted of such practices should be permitted to remain in civil life. It would then be Yankee fight Yankee, and if they were all slaughtered, the world would be better and happier.

day was of an uninteresting character. We note a few of the cases: John Musgrave, charged with attempting to rob David Wright, appeared at the bar with a confusion on the left cheek and a bump on his cranium, which were given him in the affray that ensued. Wright and a companion stepped into a saloon on Main street, near 21st, in the night time, to get a glass of beer. Wright paid for the treats, and as he approached the door, his money in his hand, Musgrave grabbed at it, but failed to Wright paid for the treats, and as he approached the door, his money in his hand, Musgrave grabbed at it, but failed to get it all. Musgrave then ran, and was pursued by Wright and his friend, who finally overtook him, and after giving him a few blows turned him over to the police. In order to get at other facts the examination was adjourned until this morning. Wright and his friend, who finally overtook him, and after giving him a few blows turned him over to the police.

ng will be severely punished, unless it be shown that they are receiving less than half rations. This is significant. Some of his pickets have offered to exchange an overcoat or a pair of shoes with our pickets for a gallon of meal. At other points on the lines, however, they say they have sufficient supplies. The reinforcements--two corps d'armes--sent out from Meade's army under Hooker are at Bridgeport. They number about 12,000 men. One corps is commanded by Slocum, the other by Williams. The river at Bridgeport is divided by an island of considerable length. Two pontoon bridges have been thrown across from the north bank to the island, and at last accounts preparations were being made to lay a third bridge from the island to the south bank. This latter work has probably been completed by this time. Hooker's pickets cover Sand Mountain to the distance of eight or ten miles this side of Bridgeport. Sherman, with other reinforcements, supposed to be 15,000 in number

The New York Herald states that the small-pox has broken out among the Confederate prisoners in Fort Delaware. There were 150 cases last Wednesday. Brig.-Gen. Corcoran, U. S.

Waterhouse (search for this): article 9
The Manchester Paper Mill, which, by the enterprise and energy of Messrs. Harvey and Waterhouse, have been constructed under every disadvantage within the past twelve months, commenced operations yesterday. This mill will partially supply the great scarcity of printing paper, and thus enable the newspapers to enlarge their circulation. We wish the proprietors the greatest success.
Vallandigham (search for this): article 2
eward's Bell Ringing again. The Herald, of Thursday, says: United States Marshal Murray made some very highly important arrests in this city yesterday, and succeeded in getting, with the parties, a large number of documents of a very valuable character.--The contents of these have not yet been divulged, nor has it been deemed prudent to give the names of the parties arrested. The subject matter of the papers is said to be most peculiar, and to throw light upon certain operations relative to Vallandigham and the rebels, with which the general public has not yet been made acquainted. Some of them may at some future time be given to the public press, but are held back at present for "good and sufficient reasons." The parties arrested were yesterday conveyed to Fort Lafayette in carriages by the proper officers. It may not be contraband to state that three of the parties are well known business men and merchants of this city, and that one of them is a prominent Republican.

e better man of the two by 10,000 men. Thomas is a good fighter when he gets warmed up to the work; but ordinarily he is a slow man, and possesses neither the gift to organize an army and move it promptly nor the capacity to project a campaign on a broad scale. Thomas is a native of Virginia, and belonged to the Calhoun school of politics. He was on duty in Texas at the time the States seceded, and so warmly did he sympathise with the Confederates that he tendered his resignation to Gen. Twiggs, the officer then in command in the Southwest, who, instead of accepting it, advised him to take a furlough and proceed to Richmond, and send in his resignation from that point, especially as it would enable him to travel that far free of expense. He acted upon the suggestion, went to Richmond, made a written application to Governor Letcher (which application is now on file in Richmond) for service in the Virginia State Guard, and then went North for his family. He had married in Troy,

s labor is not definitely known, but if the result is for the world it will be one of greatest value and importance, and also be another monument to one of the greatest and most successful warriors of the age in which he lives. Lincoln's religious Experience — Joe Miller has often wished that he was more devout. The members of the Baltimore (O. S.) Presbyterian Synod, now in session at Washington, called on Abraham (Hanks) Lincoln one morning last week. When he appeared Rev. Septimus Tustin, D. D., the Moderator, addressed him to the effect that the Synod had come to pay their respects and salutations; that "each member belonged to the Kingdom of God," and, what was of more importance to Hanks, that "each was loyal to the Government." We copy the following account of this touching interview from a Washington letter: The President in reply spoke as follows: "I can only say in this case, as in so many others, that I am profoundly grateful for the respect given in e
