A Military Hero.

The following amusing paragraph. con.
corning his own and General Cass's militia.
ry exploits, occurs in one of Mr.. Lincoln's
speeches in Congress in 1s4s: iua'
"By the way, Mr.. Speaker, did you
know that was military heroi Yes,
sir; in the days of the Black war, fought,
bled, and came away. Speaking of Gen.
eral Cass's career reminds me of my own.
1 was not at Sulliyan's defeat, but was
about as near it as Cass was to Hull's sur
render, and, like him, I saw the place soon
after. It's quite certain that I did not
break my sword for / had none to break

occasion. If Geneaal Cass broke his
sword, the idea is, be broke it in despera-
tion.. If General Cass went in advance

The Right spirit-Keep atwOrk.

We are glad to observe in our Republi
can exchanges and correspondence that the
friends of Lincoln and Hamlin in Ohio, do
not intend to slacken their efforts to swell
the Republican vote, until the final battle
is fought in November The brilliant vic
tories of last Tuesday, so far from alluring
them to a cessation Of labor, have increas-
their ardor. These victories have added
fuel to their camp-fires, which before were
burning brightly-but which, from now
until after the Presidential election, will
burn brighter than ever. From all quar-
ters we receive assurances that our friends
will do better for Lincoln than they did
for our State ticket. We have no doubt
that these promises will generally be re-
deemed. But there may be localities in
which Republicans may be tempted to
rest upon their laurels; and in regarding
our victory as certain, TO cease their vigil
ance and TO discontinue active and system
attic exertions in behalf of our ticket. If
there be any such localities, we beg our
friends there to bestir themselves, and to
have care that :heir confidence does not
cheat them out of votes that might be se-
cured with proper effort. Keep up your
organizations Keep at work! Canvass
your counties thoroughly by townships
and school districts. See that your local
committees are on the alert. Now is the
time to improve our late victory. The
harvest awaits the sickle! Only one
week yet remains of the Presidential can
vass. During that time every County and
Township committee, and every earnest Re-
publican in the State, should labor without
ceasing to swell the Republican majority of
Ohio to at least forty thousand. Pennsylva-
MIA will give over fifty thousand. Our
friends in Now York promise US from
eighty to one hundred thousand; and In
diana is crowdiug close upon our heels
Ohio must not fall behind, in the generous
race. She led the van in 1855, and she
ought not to fall in the rear in 1860.
If the Republicans of Ohio will it, they
can give Lincoln from 10000 to $4,000
majority in November! Shall it be done?

Pulpit wit.

In Pennsylvania there is clergyman al.
most as remarkable for eloquence and eccen-
tricity as Lorenzo Dow himself. On char
lily occasions his pathos, wit, and some
times bitter satire, are sbure to win more
good coin and bank notes to the State
than the decorous eloquence of half a doz-
en- men.
On late occasion he was preaching a
temprance sermen, which produced unusu-
al effect upon the audience. Among other
things be asserted as result of his own
observation that confessedly ''moderate
drinker" was sure to become confirmed
inebriate within five years after be reached
that state of indulgence.
He was interrupted here. by man in
the audience, who started up in a great
excitement proclaiming himselfa moderate
drinker'' of ten years standing, and one on
whom tie habit made no progress.
The clergyman stopped short, leaned
over the pulpit, and when the man had
ceased speaking called out: a!
81 say friend, stand up here and let ne
have look at you" ~
The man made an effort to brave the
host of eyes that were turned upon him,
and stood his ground. -'i : 81 Pc.
"Nearer, maui" cried the minister, beck
oning with his long finger. "Hold light
up to the brothers face, some of you
Step up on the bench, and give us good
look"
The moderate drinker was not only
mounted on the bench but also allowed
lamp to be held close to his face.
- The minister bent over his cushion and
gave the face long survey. - =.
"That will do" said he, drawing back,
shat will do, my freind and now I say,
if / owed the devil debt of a hundred
drunkards, and had paid him ninety-nine,
and he wouldn't take you in full payment
at the end of five years, I would never
pay him." naa1 =ifI raH l1-,s.i

"MALE CRINoLINE." Describing the
immense preparations made by both sexe;
of the invited to the Renfrew ball in
New York, the Herald says in regard to
the gentlemen's costume: .s,
The most costly. cloths have been im-
ported for the occasion, and those who con-
sidered forty or fifty dollars enough for a
ball suit have reached the amount of sew
enty and eighty dollars; not to speak Of
the other items, including embroidered
shirt bosoms, and, extraordinary as it may
appear criuolined shirt breasts; for after
all the ridicule which has been heaped upon
this commodious, expansive, light, airy, ell
egaut and indispensable article of female
attire, the gentlemen have literally taken
the crinoline to their bosoms. They are
formed of steel ribs, and are fastened round
the body by means of hooks and eyes
another innovation against which the Ia
dies have every right to exclaim. The OBJ
iect of this crinoline arrangement it is al
most unnecessary to say, is to prevent that
most disaqreeable of all things, collapse
of the shirt breast--a casualty which is not
bv any means unfrequent in the ball room,
for the prevention of which the gentlemen
are primarily indebted to that much abused
article to which we have alluded.

The Sandusky kidnapping Case
..MOst Brutal Outrages.

The Register of the 16:h gives some
further particulars of the infamous kidnap-
ping of two families near that city BY Dep
uty U. s. Marshal Manson of Cincinnati
aided by Conductor Sherman of the San
dusky, Dayton and Cincinnati Railroad. -
The persons stolen were as follows: Hea-
ry Burns, wife and one child. 1t is claim
ed that the woman is free.r Thomas Mar
sbal, wife and one child. The children
were each about six months old, and were
born iu Ohio. The Register says: sg
They first came here in December last,
as we are told, and sometime during the
winter, rented 80 acres of wild land for five
years, put up cabins, and moved ON it in
March last. In the spring they cleared
seven acres and put out crops, and the cul
tivated land is now covered with fine crop
of corn, &c, sufficient for their winters
supply. ,i
Several of our citizens have visited the
place, and they report that everything looks
as though they had been industrious and
were very comfortably situated. There
are other negro cabins in the neighborhood
none close by-apd no whites living
near. The colored man who heard Mrs.
Burns crying as she was being dragged
over the fence, and who shot at the kidnap-
per, was probably the first one of the
neighbors aroused, and the first to give the
alarm.
ONE OF THE PARTY NOT RETUsNED BEFORE
Mr.. NEwHALL. a--
Two gentlemen from this city, who were
passing, on Sunday morning, through the
field where the captives were taken, discov-
cred sheet lying partly concealed in a
shock of corn, Upon further examination
they found little child of q years part
ly wrapped in the sheet. 1t looked up
with pitiful, wild look, but was too much
exhausted to cry, it having been exposed
there two nights and one day, covered with
nothing but thin cotton sheet. 1t was
cold and swollen, and looked as though it
had nearly cried itself to death. 1t was
taken to house and cared for, and yester-
day had quite recovered and seemed cheer
full. 1t is probable that when the man
who was dragging the woman over the
fence was fired at, and called for help, some
one of the party was carrying the child
and threw itdown and, ran to the relief of
his companion. a.,r
What say you motbersl of that "insti-
tuition" which makes such things possible,
and allows them under cover of law?
There is much feeling here in regard to
the course taken by conductor Sherman
and much speculation as to what should
have been done by him. He should per-
haps be regarded as innocent until proved
guilty; but the case is such and the feeling
such, that some public explanation on his
part is expected and would seem proper.

REQUIsITIoN FOR MERRIAM AND BRowN-A
message was received on Wednesday from Gov
ernor Letcher in the Virginia Senate, embracing
the reply of Governor DenniSon of Ohio, in re-
1ation to the requisiton made by the Executive
of Virginia upon him for the persons of Francis
Merriam and Owen Brown, parties to the Harp
er's Ferry raid. The Governor Of Ohio refuses
to give up the fugitives for reasons, which, in
the opinion of Gov. Letcher, are entirely frivo-
lous. Gov. Dennison bases his refusal upon the
opinion of the Attorney General of Ohio, that
there is no enactment of the State clothing tie
Governor with authority to surrender to anoth-
er State fugltives from justice seeking refuge
there Gn Ohio } any power to surrender fugi-
tives must therefore be predeated upon the Con-
stitution of the United States-and. that ns5ru-
ment provides that it must be proved that the
fugitive actually fled from another Stale to IS
cape justice. The Attorney contends that there
was no evidence that Merriam ever was in Vir
ginia, and no allegation but in the requisitior
that lie ever fled from the State of Virginia
Upon this bubble the Governor of Ohio seeks Il
avoid duty imposed upon him. The conmu
nication of Governor Letcher is very lengthy
and ably meets the issue raised by the Attorney
General.
