Democrats of the Golden Circle.

DemocratS OF the Golden Circle.
The White-fag Democracy have fair title
to the name of Democrats of the Golden
Circle. '~ Had the developments of the pa 1t
few days occurred month sooner, the
Union voters would have been stimulated
to action throughout Ohio, and the majority
Tor Tod would have been trcblcd. As il
was, the people had not dreamed that such
an organization as the knights of the Gold
en- Circle ply their devilsh Vaccinations in
our midst, breeding treason and preventing
enistmcnts A host of Democrats who
voted the White flag ticket, had no idea of
their association with the traitors who, in
fact, control their party, and we have not
doubt had Mr.. Jewett known what influence
it was that permitted his nomination, he
would have boldly repudiated tho wicked al
lance with such black hearted Williams. But
these traitors controlled the Democratic State
Convention, and only allowed respectable
men, and men who are true to their coun.
try, to he nominated to some of the offices,
that the purposes Of the order might be con.
ceaed.
This order exists over Ohio, and the
Columbus City Fact states positively that
two belonging to the order were elected to
Office in Franklin county on Tuesday. Co
lumbus is one Of the hotbeds of the Golden
Circle, and as q consequence fewer soldiers
have gone 10 the war from franklin county,
in proportion to the population, than from
any other county in Ohio. = Cleveland Her.

SELF SEALING STAMPED NEWSPAPER
WRAPPERS. The Postmaster General has
ordered to be placed on saleat the postoficc,
Il new and convenient form of newspaper
wrappers, which will supply long existing
want on the part of the public, These wrap.
lcrs are fornied Of oblong-sguare sheets,
glmmcd at one end, and adapted to any
size newspaper, The introduction of these
convenient envelopes will, doubtless, greatly
increase the postal revenues, and promote
the interests OF newspaper publishers by the
facilities which they afford in the transmits.
sion of their publications through the mails.
The venders of newspapers should supply
themselves with them, the better to enablt
purchasers of their papcrsto transmit them,
when read to their friends.

Another Evidence Of the Rebels
Disbursements.


The Richmond Wing is out with half a
column of complaint to the same effect as
those we have copied from other papers of
the same vicinity. 1t opens by cordially
admitting that the present war is likely To
be long one, though it had once hoped the
rebel forces would carry everything with a
dash. 1t then denounces with much bit.
terness, and at considerable, length, the de
tensivc policy which the Davis Governmen,
has seen fit to pursue, and avows its BELIEF
that invasions into the loyal States-in Other
words strictly offensive strategy--can alone
win the day.
1t further says the enemy have tho domin
ion OF the sea and the command of Chesa
peake bay, and with their powerful fleet.
can make incutsions on the Southern coast
The. Whig is confident that if its views arc
carried out, the bells have nothing to feaI
but everything to hope, but II affairs are t.
be administered as at present, it says, 1--WE
had as we'll be looking out for terms Of sub
mission, and the sooner the better Al
endless war, which affords no opportunity
tor either victory or revenge, is bootles,
undertaking.
1t concludes by bearing testimony to thu
unselfsh zeal with which the Southern peo
pie have offered themselves and their all fo
the war, but says an uneasy feeling has be
gun to exist, and sense Of uneasiness ant
distrust is gradually supplanting generou
confidence. Mutterings and com plnining
are heard many of the appointments whicl
have been made here filed the country will
apprehensions Of some great disaster an,
in short everything is going on at loose ends
This is the most truthful avowal We hav,
yet heard from the Happy Family"

ATouchipg Incident.

join his regiment, advertised that he would
take letters for his comrades of the same
regiment. He received a great many letters

from loved ones at home. 1t was interest

dropping their affectionate donations, went
on their way happier. There were old. young
and middle-aged, fathers and mothers, tC
sons, and sisters to brothers. There wa,
one, however, who attracted more attention
than the rest She was girl of some Ii
summers, scantily but neatly dressed, anC
but for the care which marked every feature
of her countenance, would have been termed
pretty. 1

received her, ''is for my brother. Will il
reach him, do you think?'
