r Si \ y : 11 " ''Striking Commentary upon the War. . Id the law reports of the Cincinnati ^Commercial we find the following deci* ion of the Superior AJourt or tnat city in | reference to some cotton speculartors in the military department of U. S. Grant ' ?the father of the tatter being the jf plaintiff in the suit. The facts developed in the case are a striking commentary on the war and upon the spirit of its prosecution. The father - of General , k 'Grant makes a contract with a speculating firm in Cincinnati, in consideration i df oue cfuarter of the released Det profits 'to procure from the headquarters of'Gcn. j Grant a permit to purchase cotton secure j transportation, and such other facilities as might be consistent with the usages : and interests of the army. It appears that Mr. Jesse R. Grant 'fulfilled his part of the contract. 'lie 1 It [procured the permit to purchase 'cotton ^bich the Court declared alleged unless EriV carried on by permission of tha President through the Treasury Department, 8| . 'The Court also declared that the secuT?ing of transportation, which the plain* tiff averred he did, was an improper and illegal use of government horses and wagons, or steaiuboatsj ;and that the j n,v?>?orTikri wrnv have beCQ DTir- i cured by honest or dishonest ioflu-1 ence. The Court very properly stated in its j opiuion tlipt the employment of the: plaintiff to procure the illegal co-operation of the military in a private enterprise if proved, was equally disgrace- j ful tt> the defendants and the plaintiff, and would insure the dismissal of the petition of the plaintiff to compel the j payment, by the defendants of one quar- i. ter of S40,000, the net profits in the j transaction, with reprobation to botli parties. We call especial attention to the remarks of Judge Stores whose "loval-j ty"and Republicanism cannot be ques- j tioned.? He felt "constrained to say j ttbat the whole of the trade, as disclosed j in the proceedings, was not only dis-1 graceful but tends directly to disgrace the country. It is the price of blood."; After these remarks of the Court, it is unncssary for us to add a word of condemnation upon the infamous outrages > which have been, and are being com- , milted, similar to those developed in 'this case, and with the consent, if not the participation of high civil and military officials. Says a "loyal" Judge,' ""this trade is a disgrace to the court ; 'try"?-uay mure, "it is the price of j blool." Hero is the damming evidence i that the nation is being impoverished I and hundreds of thousands of vuluaWc j lives, sacrificed to gratify the 'Cupidity , :aud avarice.of shoddy officials, contrac- | tors and speculators. If. all sense of P honor, pride and Jtrsricc is Tjot pnralized in the public mind, the day of r< tribu | tioti. fearful ;:ud ovvwhclmiug, will UOt ; long be utlaycd. A Gallant Rebel Widow Breaks her .Leg in Behalf of an Imprisoned ' "Lover. . ^ A good looking young widow, who "bosses" a sewing machine in Wheeling, Ya , is in love with a notorious rebel "busbwacki r, who has committed several murders of Unionists, and is now con. j .fined in the Wheeling jail. Ilis name is 'Geo. Dusky, a son of the notorious Pau Pu.-ky, and the widow's name is Mary i Briggs. Mary was allowed to carry delicacies to George until she was detected .}? attempting to p iss something of a contraband uature through the bars of his ! cell, after which she was debarred by the ! jailor from the premises. Past Wednesday night, about 10 o'clockt the jailor heard a-noise on the i outsido of the Southern wall of the pri.- . on, aud went round there with a lantern, j when he discovered a parcel on tin; } ground. While in the act of picking i up the mysterious package, the widow Briggs alighted on his back from the wall, which was twelve or fifteen feet high, and disputed his possession of the property. In the fall her right leg was broket?above the ankle, hut she struggled manfully, and in the contest a bottle of Ditric acid was broken, and the contents fti.j ?i... :..:i j n w - < sjniie'i upuu mi; jairor ?uu i'irs. range's, j both of w+wik -were stained and burned, j TPhc valient seccsh sank exhausted, and ; was carried into the jail and placed under surgical treatment. The jailor, upon examining the parcel, ; found that it contained a bottle of chlo- j roform, a bottle of uitric acid, a chisel, a ; box of steel pens and two love letters from Mrs. Brings, a copy of the Free- , mans Journal and a copy of the Cincinuati Enquirer! The Wheeling Jn/clli- \ ffenccr says that love is a word of hard- j lly sufficient strength to describe one of ; the letters. The infatuated woman had i climed to the wall with a ladder, and ! was about to attach the package to a long pole and .extend it to the window of her Husky's cell, when she dropped it, and was thus discovered.?

A Houston editor, writiog to ColThrasher, gives the following items of expense incident to publishing a paper in the Traps-Mississippi: "The press of this department is laboring undo burdens that I almost fear will sink *it. My telegraphing bills i# n v Pv "** . Tli" -Ck. * . * ? amount to from 8600 to 8800 per week. My paper cost me from 818 to 825 per ream, (24x30,) ia specie. I am paying 84 per 1,000 ems for composition, and printers cannot live on that. The Newi and Telegraph have been forced "to come to a specie basis, but whether they will be sustained by the people it is impossible to say yet. .It was theirouly alternative. Even to-day a lot of paper is offered me "for whicfc 835 is demanded Reduce this to currency at 35 for oue, and you will see tbev impossibility oi keeping accounts in 'Confederate "cotcs with oqt casltnr.ary -notions." The price of uewspapers rn 'South Carolina is'dLeaper thtm in any other State in the Confederacy. -In 'Richmond and At, lanta, the subscription is sixty dollars pc"r anuin. Here thirty, or about five prices advanccou the peace charge; while we pay for pap<?r fifteen times, rags thirty, telegraphing double the tariff of a montb-ago, and salaries r& proportion. The publication of a paper barely keeps soul and body together, and it is not impossible that a change may become uecessary. Until farther notice, the press of the State will 'continue its prescn't rates; but as a raa'tterofcconomy, we seggest to those who 'contemplate subscribing to do so promptly, before an advance is made. ' Gone up the Spout." A rumor, received through Yankee prisoners captured on Tuesday, in Charles City couuty, states that. Gen. Grant has been relieved from eommand of the Yankee army. Yankee prisoners arc by no means reliable, yet as McClel'au shared vejy much- the same treatment when driven to Harrison's Landing, it is not improbable that "Unonditioual Surrender" Grant has literally become "Up Spout" Grant. Whether relieved of command or not, Ulysses is no longer the "coming" hut "going" man; perhaps the "gone" man.?Itidiinond Examiner, Wc have seem telegrams in several of our exchanges which state Morgantou had been ocupied by the raiders, the bauk robbed, &c., &e., but we are pleased in being able to state authoritatively that there is no truth in the statements. The raiders never entered jlorgontou, aud i my be accounted for in this way: A rcconnoitcring party of the raiders occupied a prominent point within a short distance of Morgantou whore tlfcj' wie-t a negro, just from the village aiid learned from him, in answer to their i-n-tanrogatories, that about 500 soldiers were in town waiting for the in and ready to give battle.. This statement (entirely fabricated by the cunning dar^eyj had its effect and the raders left precipitately, to give the alarm to their comrades, then at Camp Vance. When Napoleon, had reached Wilna, in his invasion of Russia, in 1812, a deputation of serfs from one of the most popular districts of the country waited upon him and pledged that if lie would issue a proclamation emancipating the serfs they would join nim to a man. Rut he declined their overtures, for the reason that it would r#ve a ferocious turn to the war, causing horrible devastation and unheard of murders. lie should, he said, be espousing the .P1....1 :? cause 01 iwruansm against ininzation. lie could not for a moment entertain the proposition, lie it remembered that the Russian serf was a white man, of the same race with his master", and fully as capable of improvement; whereas, the negro is of African descent, and has never been left to himself in any part of the world without degenerating into a barbarism. Bv the employment of the negro the Yankee is actually warring against civilization. But leaving that fact out of the question, can anything be more pitiful than the position of the Yankee, calling upon the* negro to assist him in subduing a people whom he boasted of his ability to demolish in ninety days? What is it but a confession that we arc superior in the proportion of twenty to five?
