Writing.

Mr.. EDIToR-Writing is something
more than merely forming letters with
pen; for it consists mainly i'll composing
accurately, which should be the highest
aim of the writer; for the pen reveals the
poscers and trrasures of the mind. This
little instrument is great tell tale, for what
would nations and individuals do without
knowledge of the art Of writing? Liter
ature, commerce, and all kinds of business,
are carried on through its agency, and by
its use we visit and converse with our dis
tant friends. Its universal application
proves that its component parts, as orthog-
raphy, English grammar, punctuation,
with composition should be thoroughly
taught in our schools. Perhaps there can
be no better evidence of scholarship than
accurate composition, for it shows mental
cm IRE. AS general rule, composition
can be improved, by drawing the pen
across every other word, which gives it
per,picuay and vigor. Writing is like
reading--like wheat, needs to be separated
from the chaff, which is done by thinking.
Writing is like talking. Before any one
speaks, he should be sure that he has
something to say, and then, be sure and
stop, when he has said Il.

ANOTHER CALAMITY. -" Misfortunes
never come singly,'' is an old and truthful
adage. On Monday morning of last week,
several of our merchants received intelli-
gence that flat-boat, containing their Fall
Stock of Dry Goods, had been wrecked
near Marietta. The boat sunk; but it was
afterward raised, and 5 per cent claimed
as salvage. The Goods were consigned
to Moore & Osborn, Donnally 4 Davis,
G. E. Donnally & Co., E. S. Edwards, and
Geo. W. Todd u Co. We understand
that two of the firms are fully insured.

FIGURES OF THE FIGHT.

FIGURES OF THE FIGHT.
II any friend of Fremont has felt dis
heartened, Or any supporter of buchanan
has been disposed to boast over the result
of the late contest, it might be well for
such to take peep at few Of the figures
of the fight.
Four years ago, Mr.. Pierce was elected
President by mcjority of the popular vote
over all other candidates of As, 1888. His
majority over Scott was 2o3,3O6. Buch-
anan will lack nearly or quite half mil
lion uotes of having a majority over all 9TH
ers. Buchanan's majorities over Fillmore
in the South are about 1850 Fremont's
maiorities over Buchanan in the North are
about $50, 900; to which add Fillmore's
vote in the North (95O, 600 morc) and we
lave something like the result. Quite a
falling off in four years.
Four years ago, the electoral vote stood
For Pierce, 254; Scott, az. This year, it
will probably stand; Buchanan ia; Ere
mont ia; Fillmore 8.
Will our Buchanan boasters please tell
us how many more such GLORIOUS victo-
ries their party can afford to celebrate!
The Republican party is less than three
years old. 1t has swept every thing be-
fore it in eleven States, by majorities rang
ing from $500 to $4,000, in spite of al
divisions within and combinations without
True, it failed to elect President MiY
time; but, remember, Rome was not bull
in day. We have yet to hear Of single
Republican who is not prouder Of his vo.'
for Fremont than of any other vote he eve
cast in his life. Such men will not b
likely to recede; but rather multiply il
number by accessions to their ranks. The,
are not fighting for the spoils Of Office, bu
for PRINCIPLE, for JUSTICE, for LIBERTY
for HUMANITY, for Truth, and though the
may not be successful at once, they hay
the elements of success within them, am
their final triumph is only question G
Time. A few thousand more votes i
Pennsylvania and Illinois would have civ
en- them the Presidency this time. A lit
tie labor, rightly directed, will secure te
times the requisite number within the mex
four years.
Below we give a table of majorities, a
reported in each of the States. The off
cial returns may vary tie figures LITTLE
but not materially.

RUTLAND, o., Nov. l2, 1856.


Pursuant to previous notice, the citizens
of this village met at the Universalist
Church, on Monday evening, Nov. Sd, for
the purpose of organizinga Ladies Kan.

measures to assist the FREQ State sufferers
in that Territory.
The meeting was organized by calling
JAMES PETTY, Esq, to the Chair who made
few appropriate remarks on the impor.
tance of the present movement.
Judge Arthur Merrill now came forward,
and addressed the meeting in his usually
clear and effective manner, on the present
state of affairs in Kansas, and urged upon
the people the importance of their render.
ing to the sufferers of Kansas, such aid
and assistance as they at this time so much
need.
E. s. Branch, Esq, now being called
for, came forward and addressed the meet
ing, particularly the ladies, on the impor.
tance of their extending their sympathy, to
those who have been made Widows and
Orphans, and rendered destitute because
they loved Liberty rather than Slavery and
thus encourage the hearts, and strengthen
the arms of the Free State men, who are
now fighting upon the plains of Kansas
the battles of Freedom.
The Ladies now organized, by appointing
Mrs. SrILLMAN LARKIN, President of the
Ladies' Association, and Miss M. A..
Branch, Miss M. L. Paine, Miss M. Rath-
burn, Miss Mary Richardson, and Miss NJ.
Skinner, as Committee to solicit aid, and
procure assistance for Kansas. After
which, the meeting adjourned, to meet on
the Thursday evening following.
The young Ladies of the Committee,
entered upon their duties with that spirit
and energy which always characterizes
them, when an appeal is made to their sym
pathy in the cause of suffering, down trod.

wise all quiet, orderly citizens whoa com
PEELED to be on the streets after dark, to
prepare themselves for defense. During
our long residence in Cincinnati, we never
witnessed as much ruffianism and heathen-
ish conduct in the same length of time.
A few evenings ago, friend of ours
as inolfensive and orderly a man as lives in
Pomeroy-was riding young colt along
Front-street. When near the Rolling Mill,
he was stopped by about twenty of these
Ruhians, who intended, as they said, to
put the horse and rider over the river bank
When he spoke to them, one or two of the
number recognized his voice, stepped aside,
and permitted him to pass, whereupon the
rest started in pursuit, yelling like demons,
frightening the colt badly. The rufians
had evidently mistaken our friend for some
one who lived in the country, and they
intended to handle him pretty roughly
but fearing detection, they abandoned the
idea, when they ascertained who it was
This was wise. Our friend tells us thai
he intends hereafter to be ARRAYS prepared
for such emergencies.
On Monday night of last week, a gang
of these scomdrels were parading th'
streets, yelling like fends, when a Mr.
Crowley was peaceably returning home
As he passed them, not anticipating IN,
disturbance, he was knocked down an,
severely beaten. The ruffians then pro
ceeded to Mr.. Dorst's house, forced a
entrance, and beat Mr., D. seyerel y-s
much so, that he was compelled to kee
his bed for several days. They next al
tackled woman who was standing at he
own door, tearing nearly all her clothes Of
Next, they struck Mr.. Enocks in the bacl
with boulder, or some other weapon
They continued their depredations until
late hourin the night, tearing down fences
gates, &C., making night hideous wit
their noises.
On Wednesday night, another party {
drunken rowdies, battered each other
. frontispieces with brick-bats in front of Of
office, while III every quarter of the tow
the feuds were shrieking like mad.
The only punishment inflicted upon al
of them, for these offences, was fine {
ten dollars for the attack upon Nr. Grow
ley. If this state Of things continues, +
volvers and bowie-knives are our only S
curity.
u We have heard it rumored that an q
, tempt was made on Tuesday night to S
y fire to the Rolling-mill; but of the tru
g of this we know nothing.
