Y 18TH Of JJL1 CONf I'm llON. {
i, 10 the Republican Voters of CALI
County.
| At "a meeting of Republicans. cop
posed to the repeal of the Missouri Com,
promise, and the extension Of slavery
assembled in the Court House in Cali
lpolis, on Thursday, August 24th, 1854
w. @. Kephart, A. D. Saunders, and
L. D. Vanzant, were appointed Coun
ty Committee of correspondence, DC.
with power to call future meeting OF
meetings, when thought expedient.
The State Central Committee have
recently published call for ga Repub-
lican State convention. to be composed
of delegates chosen by Independent and
Anti Nebraska voters of Ohio. who
| participated in the glorious triumph ol
last year, and such others as may SYM
pathize with them" to be held in Co
Iumbus on the 18th of next July. The
call of the State Committee contains the
following recommendations:
"It is recommended by the committee
that the Republican friends of Freedom
in each county meet at the usual place
of holding county conventions, on Sat
urday, the 7th Of July, for the purpose
of choosing delegates. according to the
above apportionment, to represent them
in the State Convention to be held on
the 18th.
The spportionment agreed upon by
the State Committee, allows to Gallia
county two delegates in the State Con-
vention. The main principles upon
which the Republican movement is
based, are: the restoration OF the anti
slavery clause of the Missouri Compro-
mise; opposition to any further acquisi-
ton of slave territory; opposition to the
admission of any more slave States into
the Union; divorce of the General Gov
ernment from the support of slavery.
In accordance with the above recon-
mendation of the State Central Commit
tee, we recommend to the "friends of
Republican freedom" in Gallia county
to hold their primary meetings in the
several townships. at the usual place of
voting. on Monday, the ed day of July,
and elect delegates to meet in county
to be held at the Court
House in Gallipolis. on Saturday, the
7th day of July next.
1t has been agreed that the ratio of
in the county Conven-
ton shall be one delegate for every fifty
votes cast at the last fall election for
Judge Sscan (the highest Republican
candidate, } and for every fractional ex-
cess, one delegate for five votes or up
wards. This apportionment will give

1t is hoped the friends of freedom
will be up and doing. Never was there
time when every right held dear by
freemen was so much in peril as the
present. An armed band of hireling
assassins, headed by the traitor Atchi-
son have invaded Kansas, with pistols,
bowie-knives and cannon, forced the
friends Of freedom from the polls, and
with Missouri Uotes decided the election
of that Territory. Every where, and
by every means, the slave-power is
Strengthening itself and preparing for a
final and desperate struggle for the
overthrow of the last vestiges of our
free institutions. Will the friends of
freedom be true, in this issue, to the
blood Of their revolutionary sires?
W. G. KEPHART.
A. D. SAUNDERS.
P.S. The friends of freedom, gen.
orally, are requested to attend the coun-
ty Convention, on the 7th July.

AeRIcULruRAL MEETING.-At NEE
ting of the Gallia County Agriculture
Society, held at the Court House OF
Saturday, the 18th inst, the officers ant
members present agreed to increase tn,
fair grounds from two and half to fiv,
acres. After the views and opinions O
all present were heard with regard t
the location ofsaid ground, it was agreed
to take 5 acres from Mr.. /. r. Caiohan
on his farm adjoining Gallipolis city
The meeting then proceeded to discuss
the question as to the best method Of
raising the necessary amount of funds
to fence the ground and erect the neces-
sary buildings.
A sense of the meeting was then ta-
ken, in order to arrive at some probable
conclusion. 1t was then found (notwith-
standing the meeting was small) that
stock to the amount of $3.50 at least
would be taken by those present. This
being regarded as very fair express
sion the meeting then proceeded to ap-
point one or more persons in each town
ship of the county to get the requisite
amount of stock taken, and at the same
time solicit donations to the society. A
resolution was then passed, constituting
$500 to be share, that each mem
Der be entitled to one vote in all the pro-
ceediugs ofsaid company for every share
taken.
The President then appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen, committees for the
different townships whose cooperation
with the foregoing proceedings is anx-
iously solicited:
Cheshire-Lewis Titus and Joseph
Mauk, Jr.
Addison-Valentine Switzer and A.

GREAT DAMAGE TO CoRN AND WHEAT
CRoPs.-On Monday afternoon about AZ
O'Clock, small section of Shelby bor-
dering on Franklin county, was visited
by the most violent storm of wind, rain
and hail ever experienced in that region.
In the vicinity Of Christiansburg, Bag
dad and Consolation, it ragged with un-
precedented violence. On the farms of
some ten gentlemen the wheat was so
completely prostrated as to make it un-
fit for harvesting, and the corn was
damaged to almost an equal extent
Large fruit trees were blown down, and
fences carried off by the sudden rising
of streams of water that were never be-
fore known to run SO full.
The storm came up suddenly, and
passed off in very short period. In
the railroad cut near Bagdad the water
run in stream so deep that it reached
above the trucks of the cars coming at
full speed despite the fury of the ele-
ments. Capt. Taliaferro, and other
gentlemen in the cars, state that it had
been raining but three or four minutes,
yet SO violently that the gullies and beds
of streams perfectly dry before the
storm, were roaring out with water three
and four feet deep. The hail also drift
ted in some places FIVE and six feet high.
We heard yesterday one hundred thou
sand dollars fixed as the probable ex-
tent of the pecuniary damage caused by
the storm. This we esteem low fig
ure, judging by the almost unparalleled
works of its devastation that we wit
messed yesterday, in passing by on the
cars. Over three hundred acres of
wheat were entirely ruined, and almost
as much corn. Mr.. Basket and Mr..
Taylor were heavy sufferers.
The storm was very erratic one. 1t
pursued no particular line, or course,
being zig gag in its progress. A large
wheat field of one gentleman was de-
stroyed, his adjoining corn crop was un-
touched, while wheat field belonging
to neighbor, and only separated from
the corn by fence, was devastated.

The PORTLAND CoNsPIRAcY.-A cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Portland, under date oI
June 9th, says:
The Portland Advertiser of yester-
day, contained full and reliable ac-
count of the recent troubles in this city.
Thousands of extra copies sold, and the
demand was greater than the press
could supply. One gentleman ordered
1000 copies, and only got 200.
1t is understood here that the Board
Of Aldermen will order an inYestiga-
ton of the whole affair by reliable
Commission, when this nefarious plot,
which was laid month ago in order
to overthrow Neal Dow, the law and
the Republican Temperance party, will
be completely exposed.
Already sufficient has been brought
to light to place the people of this city
in better position than ever; the plot
having signally failed and the recoil
overthrow of the conspirators. Per-
sonally, Neal Dow is stronger than ever,
being sustained and applagded by the
great mass of established citizens. For
the promotion of the Maine Law princi-
pies, were the whole to be enacted
again it could not be mended. The
enemies Of law and order have fallen
into the most perfect contempt, and are
thus buried in the pit they had dug
for Neal Dow and his friends.

Dates from the Baltic to the q6tb.
which are the very latest, say that
when the steamer Driven was sent into
the Baltic ports to serve vessels with
official notice Of the blockade she found
an American vessel, the Samuel Apple
ton, of Boston, upon which she also
served notice, with warning to clear
out withing six days. A day or two af-
ter, when on cruise, she felfi id with the
Appleton, and an officer was sent on
board to examine her papers, which
were found in order. The officer then
demanded to see the bills of lading. to
which the American captain objected,
and began to make difficulties; but the
British officer insisted, and it turned out
that the Samuel Appleton had Just Ian
ded at Baltic port. fifty thousand ri
fes, and ten thousand revolvers, besides
about eight hundred bales of cotton, as
an ostensible part Of her cargo. The
ship was then carefully overhauled, but
nothing contrabsnd of war was found.
A French private dispatch from Var
ma, states that the allies were in pos
session of Tchernaya on the right bank
of the river, and that two Russian bat
teries and several battalions were de-
tached from the north of Sevastopol, to
support the returning force. 1t is re-
ported that the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, has resigned his position as Grand
Admiral of the Russian navy, and that
the peace party was in the ascendant at
st. Petersburg. These reports caused
the British funds to advance further on
Saturday morning.

are hardly worthy of quotation. An
occasional sale of Flour barrels is made
at 2Oc; and Whisky barrels range from
64 to 75c. In the event of the wheat

EFFECTS OF THE CANEoNADE AT SEvAs
qoPoL.-The Louisville Courier, of the
14th inst, says: at has hardly beer
supposed that the people of the United
States would feel any Of the effects oI
the war in the Crimea. But this
proves to be false idea. Here it is the
middle of June and fires would not be
at all disagreeable. In seeking to &C.
count for this mysterious freak of the
weather, we happened upon the theory
of French savant, who ascribes the un-
usual rains and atmospherical disturb
ances over a great part of Europe to
the prolonged and terrible cannonade in
the Crimea. 1t has been observed that
this fact was strictly in accordance with
the theory of Professor Espy, and was
assented to by Arago and some othes
of the most accurate meteerologists in
Europe.
The cannonade at Sevastopol was
succeeded, late accounts show, by pro-
fuse rains, which filled the trenches, and
the same influence extended over re-
gions thousands of miles distant. This
famous siege of Sevastopol promises to
be subject of interest to men of science
as well as to men of war.
In conversation with some gentle
men attached to the navy, we were in
formed that during the Mexican war,
when large number of armed ships
arrived at about the same time at the
Pensacola navy yard, their continued
firing as each came into the harbor was
succeeded by a tremendous whirlwind,
which did much damage. Would not
this interference with our weather priv
ileges furnish a sufficient excuse for the
United States to "take hand" in this
Eastern war? Let us ask the fiIlibus-
ters what right these people have to in
terfere with our summer privileges.

the door of the church was temporarily
thrown open, and assembled to the pull

to leave the house, but no attention was
paid TO him, when he repaired to the
pulpit and elected MIR. T. by force. Mr..
Taylor offered no resistance further
than to hold on to knob that was at
tached as an ornament to the pulpit,
and in breaking his hold of it, he lost
his balance and fell over the railing to
