For the Holmes County Republican.
Where is ShrOek.

Mr.. CAsKEY little over one yeaI
ago, it was the privilege of the people OF
this county to select Prosecuting Attor-
ney, TO stand guard over the States rights
in the county, 1t was then asserted that
if the present incumbent Of that office
should be successful, that it would be the
last of the prosecutions against SHRocK.
His friends assured the people that he was
an enemy TO GILBERT, and an enemy to
crime generally, and that if elected he
would ferret out the whole transaction Of
the plundering of the county.
How has this turned out? On the 18th
of November, SHRooK's time expired II
the Peni,entiary, and there is now pending
some.halfdozen or more indictments against
him. Why is it that the Prosecutor has
all at once become so tame, and so forget
full of the pledges made by him and his
friends? Does he know that it is his duty
to have these indictments disposed Of by
an arrest and trial! What influence has
wrought upon him since his election to
cause him to slumber upon the rights Of
the peopleG Let him emerge from his
hiding place, and tell US where SHRocK is,
and why he has not redeemed the pledged
virtue Of the party to which he belongs,
that crime should receive no countenance
at his hands. Is it be cause he is fearful of
incurring costs upon the county, that this
plunderer is TO go unwhipt of JUSTICE If
so, all a man will have to do, to protect
him in crime, is TO commit greater ones, and
the people will suffer them rather than in
cur the costs of prosecution. z

What Democratic Victories are
Made of in Illinois,

Everybody has been astonished at the
vote Illinois Egypt" gives for Buchanan.
When the tremendous majorities given for
Frement by the intelligent citizens of the
northern counties were reported, the State
was given up, even BY the Democratic
press, as having gone for Fremont and free
dom. But, To- the Southern counties went
almost solid, many of them, for Buchanan
and to the amazement of all, the State is
carried by the BUCCANEERS, Now we pro-
pose to throw little light upon the sub
ject. We submit the following table as
giving an obvious explanation.

The Wicked Gnash their Teeth.

The following is from the Washington
Union, organ of the Pierce and Buchanan
Administrations
PRIEST RIDDEN New ENeLAND.-Yhe
result of the Presidential election in New
England proves that a majority of her peo-
pie have bowed their necks to the domin-
ion of religious fanaticism. While their
hearts are bleeding over the condition of
slavery in which the negroes at the South
are placed, they seem to be wholly uncon-
scious that they are the victims of far
worse servility themselves. They are the
slaves of passion, of prejudice, of religious
tyranny and yet they hug their own chains
Of absolute subjection to puritanical fanati-
cism, and think they are doing God service
in shedding tears over the seryility ofsouth-
ern slaves, who neither desire or need their
sympathies. New England to-day is
groaning under despotism which challen-
ges parallel in any other part of the
world. They labor under the delu-
sion that they are free men, and they boast
loudly of their devotion to freedom. But
there is no freedom in New England
The church is supreme over the minds of
the priest-ridden people. They do not
think for themselves, but the political ora
cles of the pulpit do their thinking. The
worst species of despotism is that in which
the mind is enslaved. That is the despot-
ism which broods over New England. The
slave of the South is happy and contented
with his condition. He knows that he was
not fitted by nature for freedom, and he is
contented with the guardian protection
which he enjoys from humane and kind
masters. The New England men are de-
luded with the idea that they are free, and
yet they are wearing the chains of en-
slaved intellectual beings. They look to
their religious teachers for their thoughts,
and they follow the dictates of bigotry and
fanaticism with slavish submission. They
accept whatever falsehood, whether of doc
trine or of fact, that their religious guides
choose to impose upon them. Church and
State are virtually one in New England
The power of the pulpit is supreme, and it
has Just been exerted in debating the vote
cast for Fremont.

PRICE OF WooL.-There has been a
steady rise in the price of wool ever since
May, with no prospect of decline. This
should induce farmers to take good care of
their sheep during the winter. The woods
of Jefferson and Harrison are now selling
at home for from SIS to so cents pound,
and the fine woods of Washington county,
Pennsylvania, are held at 65 cents. Good
ale & Co., Cleveland, have furnished us
with the following:-"The wool market
presents an upward tendency; our sales
amount to over 100000 lbs. within the
last three days, at an advance over former
prices. We are anticipating still further
advance between this and February, owing
to the short supply on the market, bnt not
owing to any ability of the manufacturers
to pay higher prices, for it is evident that
woods bear much higher rates in proper
ton, than wooden goods s.'-Ohio Farmer.

Be Faithful TO Every Trust.

In those scenes of confusion, flight, hor-
ror, and agony, which took place on the
Atlantic steamer Arctic, which struck an.
other steamer and sunk in four hours, car.
rying down three hundred persons, there is
one act, between the time of her accident
and her sinking, which looms up with a
mournful grandeur never to be forgotten
the fireing of the signal gun. This duty
belonged to Stewart Holland, a young man
of the engineering department, who, when
all his comrades deserted the ship, faced the
danger and stood at his post. e
about two hours after the Arctic was
struck the firing of the gun attracted my
attention" says the third mate, ''and l re-
collect when l saw Stewart, it struck me
as remarkably strange that he alone, of all
belonging to the engineering body, should
be there. He must have had good
chance to get in the chief engineers boat,
and be saved; but he did not, it seems,
make the slightest exertion to save himself,
while there was duty to be done on ship
board. l Irecollect that, about an hour be-
fore the ship sunk, | was hurriedly looking
for spikes with which to make raft.

We're in little groups, clasped together,

came out again, the scene that presented
itself was one that l hope never to see
again. Here and there were strong, stout
men on their knees in the attitude Of pray
er; and Others, who, when spoken to, were
immovable, stupifed. In the midst of
this scene, Stewart came running up to
