lied much ON their all. Gen. Urea had dispat-

Kcarney has much trouble in keeping order, and
will probably find il more difficult TO discipline

DAMAGE BY THE RECENT RAINS.

Our worst fears as to the probable damage from
the recent heavy rains, in this neighborhood, have
been realized. The flood of Tuesday night
spread havoc wherever it extended. The most
serious injury happened to the Alexandria canal,
gravcllv run, on Mr.. Curtis's land, where, as We
learn a serious breach occurred. 1t will proba-
ably take some time and considerable expense
to repair this breach. A culveu on the Middle
Turnpike road, about five miles from town, was
carried away, and the road at that point rendered
impossible. Some damage has been done to a
culvcrt on the Little River Turnpike road, near
town. lIooh's Run oyerflowed its banks, and
the low grounds on both sides were covered, down
to Hunting creek, injuring the meadows and farm
lots all along, belonging 10 different gentlemen
Mr.. Becrs's and Mr.. Hooff's meadows were ospe-
cially injured. At Cameron Mill Farm Mr.
Wmdsor's) great damage was done, by the loss
of shocks of grain and hay standing IN the telds
and considerable fencing. The farm of Mr.. Har'
rison, on the other side of Cameron run, was al
so much injured, and theloss considerable. Much
wheat was lost, by being washed away, from the
farm of General John Mason; and Mr.. Petel
Tresser sustained much damage in his grass lot

THE INVADING ARMY.

We no longer use the title of the "Army of
Occupaton." Its progress seems to be onward,
and therefore its name must correspond with It's
objects. The government organ has distinctly
ayowcd the purposes of the Government to be, a
conquest and indemnify, and consequently suila-
bic phrases must be employed to Indicate these
purposes. From a computation of the forces
now under the command of General Taylor, it
seems that he has not less than eleven thousand
men, regulars and volunteers, and will probably
in a short time have double that number.
So that we may look out for the Occupation oi
Monterey by GcnotaI Taylor, and the capture oI
several pors on the Pacific by our fleet, ere the
waning Of another moon. 1t Is easy 10 lorosee

1t is no small satisfaction to us to find that the
views heretofore expressed by ,his paper, in favor
of pacific ovcrturcs by this country, coincide
with those of Mr.. Webster. He is for the most
solemn and formal mode of manlesting our de-
sire for peace, by sending special embassy to
Mexico 10 invite it; and the great Senator puts
such proceeding distinctly upon the ground that
We are the victorious and superior party, and that
we owe such step alike to our conceded strength
and to the claim or 10 the condition Of q weaker
American Republic.
We hope the President will prove the sincerity
of his professions of desire for prompt and
peaceful termination of the war, by accepting the
suggestion of Mr.. Webster, and that he will at
once seek to stop the drain of human blood and
of the National Treasury by institudng an en-
bassy of peace. The accounts received ycster-
day from the army all seem TO show that the pro-
gress Of our arms is unreslstcd, that our soldiers
are kindly treated, because they observe exact
discipline, and deal as honest men, and not as
conquerors, with those among whom they are

July 5, 1916.
We. the undersigned, commandants Of COM
panics in the second regiment Of Ohio volunteers,
having noticed an article in the editorial col
umns ofthe Ohio State Journal calculated TO i'm
press the public mind with the belief that dis
cord and dissatisfaction exist among the officers
and soldiers Of this regiment, feel it incumbent
upon ourselves, and bu, justice to our worthy
and popular officers. TO make this public corac-
ton of the error into which the editor of the
Journal has been led. So far from this being
the cusc, although the most rigid discipline has
been established and enforced, yet the utmost
cordially and good feeling prevail amoug our
comrades. officers and priymns; and SO far from
any company or companies wishing to be trans
f.rrcd, there is no iuduccmcnt which could in
nuance u single company 10 submit to u trans
fer.

Journal made the statement is utterly false and

CHANGE OF STORES, &c.

The L. S. Officer Capt McCrca, Commis-
sary Of Subsistence, took possession Of the stores
at Camp Washington, ON Wednesday last.
Heretofore they had been in the possession Of
Ohio: the accounts were all settled and paid off,
to the contractors for supplies to the troops, in l8
hours after the transfer and inventory. We un-
dcrsland from good authority that the whole
number Of raIions issued to the soldiers under the
State. was 1880, and that the cost Of each ra-
tion was 3 7-lO0 cents or 6iccnts pcrweck cost
for boarding. In the above were over 1000 ra-
lions to othrsupusroops, which the United States
refused to pay, or, in other words, could not re-
turn them to Government. No doubt but the
State will promptly settle that amount, as under
the circumstances ii would be gross injustice ii
she did not.
Expenses to the amount, probably. of several
thousand dollars, have been incurred by Gov.
Barley in complying with the orders of the War
Department. Although the officers of the United
States at Cincinnati, have refused to mcetthcm,
lis hoped that Congress will not adjourn without
making all necessary provision for expenses IN
