the promotion of their interests and the
advantage oftheir callingl Many coun.

ter, aState society has been formed, and
why should this county, so we'll adapted
to improvements in agriculture, lag be-
hind, We hope some Of our farmers
will take the subject into consideration
and then act speedily. We should like
to name some, VINO ought to lead of, but
then we might be considered personal.
Each individual, who is interested, can
imagine us speaking to himself, and ifhe

be done, that need be done, to place it on

A Minister for War.

The Christian Citizen says that a Min.
lister before his congregation, in Boston, on
fast-day, thus prayed:
"Oh God we thank thee, that not only
have no serious disasters attended the
American arms in Mexico, but that the
national feeling Of the people has been
gratyfcd By pictOry!"
This man has come up to the full statue
ola patriotic, American minister, in the
eyes ola Locofoco. But how does the
sentiment of his prayer comport with the
spirit of that One, whom the Minister
processes to adore and worship, and who,
while on earth, taught the doctrines of
love, of meekneSs, of charity, of benevo-
leuce &c.2 How does his prayer look
aside ofthe sermon on the mount, when
Christ told his followers to love their enc.
miesl" His Minister did not do this; but
thanked Heaven that we had mol only
saved ourselves, but had destroyed our
enemies--that we had been permitted to
carry the sword and fire into Mexico to
burn her towns and kill her people. that
our passion for national glory might be
gratified.

AnoMher Chnncc for GLORY.

We learn that E. Steinman, w. Fergu.
son and others are making efforts to raise
another company of Volunteers, in this
county, to join the regiment, about to be
organized under Col. Irwin, and that some
thirty have already expressed their will
~lingness to go. Those, whose names are
now on the list, are generally fine young
men aud will make good soldiers and
gay companions. The Rendezvous, for
the present. is at Il. A. Skaters Hotel,
where some n connected with the com
pany can always be found.
The young men in this county, who
wish an opportunity to see the Gle.
phaut" before tho wal closes, will find
this an excellent opportunity. The pay
is, in addition TO the monthly wages, Sl2,
bounty, and 160 acres of land. With
proper economy enough can be saved to
improve the farm, which the soldier gets
at the end ofthe war.
We don't wish to be too meddlesome
that is not our disposition; but it strikes
us forcibly in this connection, that here is
another fine opportunity for the Junior OF
the Eagle to display his courage and pa
triotismj not to say any thing ofhis fdeli-
ty to James X. Polk and his favorable
opinion of annexation. What say YOU

But TO the items:

There is the respective amounts paid
for county printing in eight counties.
Does not the amount in "Old Fairfield"
peering high above all othors, strike the
mind of the beholder with W and ad-
miration at the magnifcence of the sum.
We have placed it nearest to the amount
in Ross and Muskingum, on account Of
the aptitude ofthe comparison-the three
counties being about equal in population
and Importance and consequently being
more likely, ifproperly managed, to be
equal in expenditures. But is it sol
More than twice as much expended for
printing as in Ross aud nearly three times
as much as in Muskingum, and yet the

show an equal disparity in regard to
some other expenditures, and all we ask

Commerce OF Newark.

Mr.. G. X. Warner, Canal Collector at
Newark, has furnished the Gazette with
a statement of the quantity of a few of the
principal articles of export cleared at that
office, from Nov. 18th, 1886, to the 9th
uItimo. The estimated value ofthe whole
exclusive of merchandise, is $445, Sal
Among the items of clearance, we notice
1861 95 bushels Wheat, 325,O13 do Corn
23,O47 bbls. Flour, 2.7S1 do, Pork, 3,19s
do. Whisky, and 300. 1872 lbs. Bacon.
A large share of the above business is
made up from the products Of the north
ern townships of our own county-and OF
the increase, which the Railroad will
bring to Newark, much will be cOmpos-
ed of a still further draw from us, unless
we conclude to match u neighbors and
have a road as well as they. In addition
to the road to Mansfield, it is nov conf
IDENTIFY expected that the great central
route will pass through Newark. If this
be the case. we can we'll anticipate an
eternal holiday in Lancaster, when pine
boxes, pine shingles and sharp pocket
knives will be in demand, not to say any
thing of corporation carts to haul away
the ~shavings. The b'hoys will have fine
fun then. There need be no laws about
flying kites and shooting squibs, as there
will be no teams on the street to be fright.

Important correspondence,

The correspondence between Mr..
Buchanan and the Mexican Government
will be read with interest. The rumor
that Congress had met aud rejected the
overtures of peace has not been confirm
ed and is probably without foundation.-
1t appears however from the correspon-
dence that even in that mis.ruled, anarch-
&c Mexico, more respect is paid to the
Sovereign Congressman in our own.--
When Mr.. Polk wished to the
war, he did not think proper to consult
our Congress, showing HIMSELF superior to
that branch ofthe Governments power,
which the Mexican acting President did
not dare to exercise.
Had Mr.. Polk and his officers been half
as anxious to dvoid tho war, as he now
appears to procure a peace, we never
would have been called upon to spend
our lives and money for the purpose of
"c%onquering a peace" But we must
cen be thankful that, at this late day, the
thoughts of the Government are turned
to peace and have only to hope hat the
propositions sem out by Mr.. Trist may
not be of such a nature that the Mexican
Congress cannot except them.

LANCASTER, OHIO:
Friday Morning, July 80, Is47.
News From Mexico.

We have nothing of any importance
from Gen. Taylor's army.
1t is reported that Gen. Guenta has re-
ceived positive orders from Santa Anna
to take no prisoners, but to put to death
not only all Americans who may fall into
his hands, but also every Mexican who
may be fonnd rendering service to the
Americans.
Eight ofthe prisoners, who have been
confined so longin Mexico, have escaped
and arrived at New Orleans. They say
that about 80 others attempted to make
their escape at the same time, but were
retaken and 3 we're shot in the pursuit.
We have several items of news con-
corning the movements o fGen. Scott and
the action of the Mexican Congress upon
the peace proposition, but nothing definite.
The latest we have received is the
following Geographic report tothe Zanes-
vile Courier.
PHILADELPHIA, July 25-11 P. M.
The barque Alabama has arrived at
New Orleans, from Vera Cruz, with dates
to the evening ofthe 9th inst.
BY this arrival we have no later news
papers, and but few letters.
Ms. Chase the celebrated heroine of
T'ampico. who is now in Now Orleans,
received. by tho Alabama, letters from
her husband at Tampico, at which port
the vessel touched on her voyage, which
state that intelligence had reached that
place that General Scott, with the army
under his command, had advanced on the
3Oth ult, to n point within nine miles OF
the City of Mexico.
This news is regarded with some doubt
here.

A few Facts to be Considered by
the T~ax-Payers Of Fairfield COun-

w.
We this week institute a few compari-
sons, between this and other counties, Of
the amount paid for certain purposes, as
appears from the Auditors reports oftho
differentcouuties, which we will extend as
time and space permits. We trust that
none of the taxpayers will overlook tho
matter. One ofthe Commissioners could
tell a tale, if he was so minded, how he
was cheated by the officers ofthe county,
that would make some men stare; but
then his head would pay the forfeit, for
the time has not yet come when the Red
Lodge has lost its power. Although the
nominations ofthe county are effected by
a different method, yet the same %inHuen-
cos are at work and the sumo results are
witnessed. VIZ respectfully ask that
Commissioner spoken of, if he considers
himself clear of all obligations to the
county and tho people, when he pays
twice as much for work done as it could
be done for at other places2 But, then,
it is probable he was over-ruled by the
majority, or else he was convinced that
paying $40 for u ream was cheaper than
paying 81, for a quire. The Auditor, too,
was requested by the Auditor ofState to
give the printing Of Assessors Blanks to
the lowest bidder, but then he did not
think himself under any obligations to do
so, and we suppose, considered himself
free from the responsibilities ofhis official
oath, when he paid $500, for what might
have been obtained for $50. And the
two other commissioners, the guardians
of the county, appointed by the people
to watch over their interests and to ad.
minister the affairs of the county in an
economical tanner and see that the re-
spective officers perform their duties and
to take care that no defalcations happen
to the county, how is it with theml Are
they quite certain that their skirts are
clean, when they permit an order to be
drawn for work done at double the price
it might have been obtained fort We are
not yet done. Of this our servants of the
county may rest assured; and we care not
whose head we hit, we intend to use that
"club" ofwhich the Eagle spoke in days
gone by, and which they thought should
not be given to US for $50, but rather to
them at $3OO.-Vory well-'to the vic
tors belong the spoils." we we'll know, is
the motto Of the Red Lodge; but an i'm
partial and economical administration of
public affairs in what we think the peo-
pie call for.

like to lay the blame on Gen. Taylor for
not allowing himself to be whipped at

The Tax LAW.

We desire no better evidence ola bad
cause than a disposition upon the part of
its advocates to misrepresent the facts III
the case. The Eagle, in endeavOring to
raise objections, to the Tax Law, made
a comparison between the valuation of
'46 and AZ ofthe personal property of the
county, and then stated that there was a
falling off on the amount from the old
|law-when this was not the case as any
well-informed man knows. But after
propogating the falsehood and having
since learned, if it was ignorant before,
that it told an untruth, it has not seen
proper 20 correct the error. We there
fore take it for granted, that it has no
disposition to give its readers the truth of
the matter.

GREAT News FROM CALIFORNIA;
There is no doubt that this portion of our
continent, we had almost said our coun-
try-but it is about the same thing-is
destined to be the most populous Of the
whole world. Here is what u Monterey
correspondent says: "The females, as
well as the males, are a very robust peo-
pie, and mostly live to a great ago. The
fecundity is extraordinary. Those in.
stances are very rare, whore a female
does not have a birth within each two
years after her marriage, and many of
them have a birth every year. There are
now no less Thar three women in this
town who have had u birth each year
since their marriage; and they have all
been married twenty years or more each.
! have no doubt on the whole, that all
the women who have been married with.
in the last twenty years in California,
would average each the birth Of a child

ES@In carrying out the barbarous and
false maxim, "In time of peace prepare
for War;" the United States have expen-
ded SEVENTEEN HUNDRED and
THIRTY FIVE MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS from 1889 to 1643! "The inter-
est of this sum-" says the Christian Cihi-
zen, "at the lowest American rates. per
cent--would construct 1000 miles of rail.
road in the United States every year.
While this vast sum has been expended
and year after year makes large addi-
tons to it, scarcely dollar can be had to
promote the arts of peace or advance the
agricultural, mechanical or commercial
interests of the country. To the above,
too, must be added the large amounts ok
pended while the country was engaged
in war. A fearful sum, truly, employ
ed in killing and destroying our fellows.
And who has given us the power thus to
take human life? Surely not him, who
