From the" We st,
We are indebled to Dr. Marshall, of
■’en.Jno. 11. Morgan’s command,, for
incinnati and Louisville papers of rc
•nt date. From thee we get no
newer telegrams than those received
▼ia Richmond, bnt through their col
umns we arc given several glimpse of
the revolution in progress “out West.”
The newspapers there are certainly
speaking out as decidedly as any., enc
cbtlld wish, and’ more so than ’most
men could expect. The Cincinati I* n

abolition contemporary and neigh*
bort
Times, a concern of
ths mulatto breed which would bo ex
tremely noxious if it were not utterly
contemptible, is trying its utmost to
promote disorder in this community—
clamoring about Traitors and urging
■on the Oovernmenf to deeds of violence
upon peaceable citizens. The Time;
has better consult prudence a little and
look out for its own safety; for if the
process which is daboring to introduce
should ever begin we would guarantee
that within a time not'»unreas»nably
long, will be scraped up, and thrown
out like the it is. It will
be a good place to begin; and .here is
concern will
render it sacred abave those whom it
wishes aid is laboring to have destroy-

We hope the advice which we give
the Times will be accepted as sincere,
•nd in good faith.* We do not want
our streets sprinkled ""with blood,kasi

whom it "calls by all the blackguard
names it can invent, are in the major’

larger. It will not accept in quiet the
practical adoption of the policity it is
laboring inaugurate; and L will net be
apt to forget, in the hour of,, retribution
the dogs big or little, that have been
laboring for base purposes to gain a
factitious and unwholesome notoriety
by putting theirjlives er their liberties

TUB COST OF THE WAR.
The Dubaque (Iowa) Herald, pre
sents a lugubrious statement 'concer
ning the“cost of the war,’’ for the cons
temptation of the far Westj’it says:
A million of dollars in gold will weigh
about two tunsf 1,550,000,000 would
therefore weigh more than 3,000 tuns.
A single tun ia a full load fur a wagon
with one pair of harses; placed in one
lister and allowing thrity three feet
to each team, the number of teams
necessary to haul this amount of gold
would occupy a road of about nine 4 '
teen miles in length. This is lhe
amount of solid gold thut will be nec
essary to pay the indebtedness now
proposed to be authorized in addition
to that whi.ch we already owe. This
is the debt we shall sooner or later
hare to pay in gold or its equivalent
with interest or else resort to repudia
tion.

We clip from die body of d 1-rng ar
ticle in ths Cinc nnatj* Enquicr upon,
the clergy ai d the church, the-follows '
ing paragraph, strikingly illustrative]
and true.
The ‘•business” of the Christian i
Church, of every clergyman and of ev n - '
! ry rebgious journal and its conductors
is to save souls. A. large prop >i-tioil '
of the clergy oi tie? North, and nearly
al! of tb<’ religious journals and the'r
conductors, have for the last two years
greatly sFghted or bdidiv abandoned
the work of saving; souls, and turned
I their attention to war and politics.
, Os ail tl.e citizens? of the country, the
clergv, and of all the journals, the re
ligious, have been the moßt bitter, ''ex
treme and inexorable for carrying on
the war; ar.d have shown the h ast
consideration for its dieadful hazard
a d deplorable conseqvmces. dii -y
have seemed to be most delighted wh.-n
blood was most copiously shed; and
. with an infatuation at whmh'ihe future
j will wonder, have-even gloried over the
, slaughter which our own arm'es have
, suffered,--a? if there was something plea
i sing to them in the mental, c mtempla *
j t on o; a vast human sacrifice.
] The characters of men are to by
i judged, not by their [professions, but
by their acts. Where a man a-vqnnes
to have experienced the rdi \on of
Jesus Christ, and (■. live accord
ing to its precepts it is' porfec-ly ’‘dr
to conclude that he lies. ■ All his pYc
fences of sanctity, love of the Savior
and tender care lor the souls of men
when unaccompanied bva correspond
ing life and conversation, are simply
I midges of that meanest and ‘most cow
j ardly of offenses against God and man
—hypocrisy. It i.-i not to be d’w-mlod
