The sparit of Combin alton In omr Town.
The old Greek phalaux owed its force and su cess to
the . 'idity With which it moved together. Union is
strength, in anything or everything in this world. Our
town is attaining a great reputation abroad for the
pnanimity which pervades our people in all matters re-
iating TO the prosperity Of the place. While other
localities fall out and are w~rapgling by the cars. and are
impoteut through numberless divisions, Nining"r City
moves on as one solid body. The results is, that any
thing they attempt Is successful. The result Is. that
they have continued to grow during the worst Of times,
aud that the eyes of a great part Of the emit rating pub.
lie is now fixed upon them, and that numbers are almost
daily added to our population.
Let us hold together in the same unanimous manner,
and there is nothing We may not accomplish If We
continue to grow during the coming season at the rate,
or at anything like the rate Of its present growth, We
vii! be placed in such a position as to be almost beyond
the contingencies of fortune. %

WOOL.

Within. the past month considerable
wool has changed hands in Boston as well
as here and in Philadelphia, directly and

have beed in Bos,ol, aud coufined chiefly
to the low and medium grades, mostly OF
Foreign Wools. Prices show no essen

past two months. except Native Pulled,
which is scarce and held at high prices.
But Native Fleeces aud foreign descrip-
tions favor the buyer; and half the money
invested in the business last year in this
country and in Europe has been SINK.
Every manufacturer in this country has
been broken down, and the voice that

TIE Noble County Democrat and the
Steubenville Union propose that Mr..
KENNoN be proclaimed as a candidate for
Judge without the formality of conven-
ton. The Morgan County Enquirer
copies tho Unions paragraph apparently
with approval. We are confident that
the people of this county would cheerfuly
agree to such an arrangement. If we
have no convention we cannot be justly
charged with giving q political cast to a
Judicial election. Believing Judge KEN
NON to be the choice of very large ma
jority of the district, we put his name at

of course, if convention be held and
some one else ba nominated, we will de-
fer to the decision Of the convention.

From the Ohio Statesman.
THE BRITISH IN THE CULT.

Tho claim to visit ships for the pur.
pose of verifying the flag, set up by the
British. is alleged to be necessary for the
purpose Of suppressing the slave trade.
1t is averred, that ships of any nation, or
no ration, may hoist the American flag
over slave deck, and so secure impunity
for the traffic. To certain extentthis is
true; the Slave trade will, however, never
be suppressed by armed cruisers on the
Coast, or stationed round the Island Of
Cuba, and experience has fully proved it
There is q much more effectual way than
interfering with ships engaged in lawful
traffic The British have a treaty with
Spain by which the latter has stipulated
not to suffer the Importation of slaves.
Now, let them make Spain live up to it..
1t is well known that the Viceroys and
great officials of the latter power encour-
age the importation of slaves, and share
in the profits of the trade. 1t may be
true that they could not wholly suppress
the introduction of slaves from Africa,
but they could do more to prevent it if
they choose, than the British and Amer-
can cruising squadronss put together. II
Spain is helpless to suppress it, and the
civilized powers are agreed that it ought
to be suppressed, the Island should be
taken from her. @

The Republican Papers and Mr..

The lateligencer is so desirous of being

They seem determined to cry him down by
sheer strength Of lungs-to mob him
down by brute force. One week they will

Of tbs Republicans, for be never expected

appreciation and at the same time merit

their falsehood and acrimony.

Revolution i'm New Orleans
A BATTLE Expected!

New ORLEANS, June 2.-The follow
ing appeared this morning:
The citizens of New Orleans, after
years of disorder and outrage, and un
checked assassnation-the people unable
and unwilling either to bow down in unre-
sisting submission to u set of ruffians, or
to abandon the city in which their business
their social sympathies and their affections
cluster, have at length risen in their might,
have quietly taken possession of the Ar
senal and buildings in the Jackson square,
and have established there the head qnar-
ters of Vigilance Committee, pledging
each to the other to maintain the rights
inviolably Of every peaceful and law abid-
ing citizen, restore public order, abate
crime, and expel or punish as they may
sassins as the arm of the law has, either
from the infdelity of its public servants,
or the iueficiency of the laws themselves,
left unwhipt of justice. For the present,
the ordinary machinery OF police justice
is suspended. The Mayor and Recorder,
we understand, yielded up their power.
They confess to inability to provide for
the preservation of public peace and the
preservation of property, and the vigilance
committee will therefore Professionally act
in their stead, administering to each and
every malefactor the punishment due to his
crimes, without heat, prejudice or politi-
cal bias. Seven to eight hundred are
under arms now.
TEN O'CLOCK Several arrests have
been made 1t is reported that opposi-
ton will be made, in which case a severe
battle is certain. Volunteers are still

The Murder in the Penitentiary.

Mention has been made of the murder
of q convict in the Ohio Penitentiaryr
named Bartlett Neville, on the 9th, by
another convict named Myers. Neville
was sent there from Athens County for
horse. stealing; Myers, from Clark, and for
the same offense. The former had four
teen months to remain, the latter twenty
seven months. The murder was perpe-
trated with an ak, several blows being
given. The Journal says of the affair:
Neville, we understand, was harmless,
individual, who was not considered to have
sound mind and judgment. Myers is q
small man, of quick, fiery temper. Ne
vile was employed in doing chores about
the yard, and Myers in sand -papering
agricultural implements. About the time
of the murder Neville had gone to the
south entrance or wagons gate, whence he
was followed by Myers, who struck him
from behind, and smashed his brains out
almost instantly. Several persons saw the
deed done, but were at too great distance
to prevent it. Myers acknowledges that
he committed the deed. aud intimates that
he can hang for it without feeling Of re-
greet He is evidently hardened wretch.
No cause is known to exist for the murder,
and Myers assigns no provocation, though
he says he has q reason which is satisfac-
tory to himself We understand that he
has made threats that he would kill the son
of the chaplain, and he has been punished
a number of times for insubordiuation
We presume he will be tried for the mur-
der at the next term of our court
