PosrERITY MUST PAY.-The New York
Times says the burden Of the debt which
the North is now mourning for the war
sought not to be thrown on the present
generation, who suffer enough from the
privations and calamities of the war; but
upon posterity, who are to enjoy the calm
that will follow this tempest" Whether
or not posterity sought" to pay the debt,
there is no doubt but that if it is ever paid,
pOsterity will be compelled to pay it. The
present generation at the North appear
likely to ruin themselves, and their section,
and finally TO die detested by all, leaving
to their posterity legacy of hatred and
a crushing weight of debt. Posterity al
sought" doubtless TO feel very grateful
for the inheritance.

Jefferson City, Aug. 25.-The following
Proclamation has just been issued:
The power of the civil authorities being
insufficient to protect the lives and property
OF the citizens Of the State, /, Hamilton X.
Gamble, Governor Of the State of Missouri,
do hereby call into the active service Of the
State $4,000 Of the militia Of the State.
assigning 5000 as the quota for each mill
tary district, which is the same rs con-
gressional district.
The force thus called into service will be,
as far as possible, a volunteer force, and
will consist of one thousand cavalry and
thrty-two thousand infantry. If the num-
Der Of volunteers should exceed this req

become necessary to resort to draft.

Division Inspectors of the several military
districts the orders necessary to carry this
requisition into effect. The force called
out will be for six months unless peace in
the State shall be sooner restored. Arms
will be furnished as rapidly as they can be

Talking Right Out.

The Ironton Clipper is the Democrat or
gan ofLawrence county, the extreme South
ern county of Ohio. The Clipper flies the
name of David Tod for Governor, subject to
the decision of the People, and on the 9th
it talked right out in this plain, pointed
style ofspeech:
A few days since noted traitor of Vir-
inia boasted that in Ohio there are six hun
dred Knights of the Golden Circle, that
secret order through which the great con-
spiracy has been developed They are fast
unmasking themselves. They will be in
Columbus tomorrow. But let them be-
ware! The Dayton Empire, the Lancaster
Eagle, the Portsmouth Patriot and their
kindred sheets can no longer use tho magic
name of the Democracy TO misLedd, for their
position is known. They may, however,
continue their guerilla, like their friends in
the rebel army; but the great Democracy
of which they are libelers, will move on in
the vanguard of that embattled host that is
going forth to subdue the mighty rebellion.
Those who have attempted TO stop this
great movement are Tories; as such they
will be fitly denounced by an awakened and
indignant people, their memories will rot,
and their grave stones will have no mark
but the brand of infamy.

speech of Hon. David Tod.

The Chardon Democrat furnishes the
following brief synopsis of speech recent
ly delivered by Hon. David Tod at Little
Mountain:
Hon. David Tod, who has been spending
a few days at Little Mountain, for the ben
eft of his health, being called out on the
day Of the Sabbath School Picnic made a
brief but most stirring and patriotic speech.
After an appropriate introduction by Judge
Hitchcock, he proceeded without needless
formality, to define his position in relation
to the National crisis. He said he was for
the war without qualification or compro-
misc, and its vigorous prosecution until
treason and rebellion should be utterely
suppressed; and, if necessary, he was ready
to sacrifice his last son, his last pig of iron
and ton of coal, and his last dollar in money,
and then 90 to the war himself. He had
strenuously opposed the election of Mr..
Lincoln, yet he approved his war policy,
and doubted whether even Gen. jackson
would do better in this crisis He had but
one word of advice to whisper in Mr.. Lin
coins ear, and that was, that, when the re-
bellion should be suppressed, he would say
to jeff Davis, "You hang on that tree
| (pointiug to one near by) and to Bcaure
gard, "You hang on that" (po hitting to an
other) and to Wise, "You hang wherever
you can find hemp" He would have al
least thirty of the traitors suffer the penalty
of death.
In regard to the recent Democratic State
Convention, Mr.. Tod, was very severe in his
remarks. That Convention be said wa,
made up of the corruption of the Demo
cratic party which was purer for being rid
of it. He denounced its action in the
strongest terms, as giving aid and comfort
to tho enemy, and said if it was right, then
every Union soldier was n murderer He
bad one son in the war, and said he, "Car
| denounce my own son as a murdererl"
Mr.. Tod's speech occasioned great en-
thusiasm among the thousands who heard
it, and is a theme of general praise in this
community.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1861-08-30

The Messenger tauntingly asks, "Why is it that
so many about our town who carried the nice
tin lamps last fall and answered to the name of
"Widc-Wakes" do not step forth and enlist"
To this we reply that for every man in the
ranks who votes the Vallandigham ticket with
the Messenger man, we will show him two "wide
awakes." Out of about 100 "wide-awakes" in
Sandusky township, two-thirds of them at least
have enlisted in the service.
Let us hear if you please how many Vallan-
digham tories have enlisted. Capt. Bartlett
wants a few more men, and why don't the tory
Democrats, who pretend that that they are the
"only men that ever did support, and the only
men that ever can save the Constitution, enlist
under Capt Bartlett. The country needs them
now. Come, let the mot man, not a dollar
party" turn out few men.
When we say story Democrats" we do not
mean Ioyal Democrats-b no means. There is
a wide difference. We would honor and praise
those Democrats who manfully take hold of the
country's cause, and support the Laws and the
Constitution without ifs, and or buts, who can
for time forget party and obey the dictates of
patriotism, like E. F. Dickinson, WIN. E. Haynes
and a host of others. But the man who stays
behind, and would stop their pay, compromise
their honor, and spend his time in throwing
obstacles in the way of the Government at I
time like this deserves something stronger anC
| longer than public contempt. 1t is to such onl,
that we would apply the name of Tory.

The War News.
Rebel Scheme.


A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zettee, who has returned from tour Of OBJ
seryatiou aud inquiry in the Southern
States, gives, as the result of his investiga-
tions, what he regards as the scheme Of
tho rebels, which they have adopted, and
intend to carry out. 1t is grand under
taking. Ho does not think it is the inten-
ton Of the Confederates to make an immed-
late attack upon Washington. They will
delay this movement, he believes, until n
large number Of raw recruits are thrown
into the Capital, so that they can whip and
demoralize the whole crowd at once. Sim
ultaneously with an attack upon Washing
ton, there is to be movement against
Western Virginia and Missouri, and col
umn seventy-fve thousand strong is tC
march through Kentucky against Cincin
natl. The rebels are particularly anxious
to reduce that city to ashes. They vii
not destroy Washington, Louisville, ol
st. Louis, because they expect to subjugatC
the territory containing these cities.
Advices from Gen. Banks command statt
that large quantities of -four and un
ground wheat, belonging to the rebel army
have been seized at mill in the vicinity o
Harper's Ferry by Col. Gordon's Massachu
setts Regiment, who also disabled the mil
so that It will do no more grinding for SOM
time to come. They report no rebel troop
at the Ferry, but their pckets come il
there occasionally, Intelligence from the 9th
er side of the Potomac indicate that almos
the entire force under johnson has bee
concentrated at Leesburgh, in anticipatio
of movement on that place by Generf
Ranks.

RIOt at CumberInnd,

GRAFTON, Va, Aug. 24.-Last evening
while Gov. Thomas was addressing a crowd
in front of hotel at Cumberland, some Sc
cessionists raised a disturbance which re-
suited in their being driven home and the
destruction of the Alleganian Office, Sc
cession establishment.
The train, bound West, which had Gov
ernor Thomas on board, when about eight
miles this side of Cumberland, came sud
denly on several crossties thrown across
the track. At the same time a number
of armed men were seen rapidly descending
a neighboring hill. The engineer increas-
ed the speed of the locomotive and succeed
ed in throwing the ties of the track with
but little damage to the engine. Some
Federal Scouts then fired into the train,
it is supposed by mistake, but without any
damage. The design of tho secesssionists
was to take Governor Thomas prisoner.

Birds of a Feather Flock Together.

1t is significant fact that every man in this
vicinity who hurrahs for Davis and Beauregard,
supports and will vote for the anti Union ticket.
They will vote for Jewett and Powers, the two
leaders ofthe State and County Secession tickets.
1t is not only so in this county, but the Secess-
ion sympathisers all over the State are the most
active supporters of what is called the Demo-
cratic Union State Ticket-in fact it was that
class of men who were instrumental in having
it nominated. But it is gratifying to know that
they will have the pleasure of voting for it alone

ncvcIations of a Traitor.

New York, Aug. 2s.-According to the
confession of Anderson, arrested here yes
terday, he has for months past contributed
editorial articles for the News, Day Book,
and Journal of Commerce. An intercept
ed letter from Washington advised him to
go South via Kentucky, as passports could
not be obtained from the government. He
states that Ben. Wood and Isaiah Rynders
have communicated with the South as ex-
tensvoly as he has done. Anderson's cor
respondence gives great deal of i'm
portant political information, besides i'm
plicating parties known in this State.
A dispatch says the ship Simonds, q
British vessel owned in St. Johns, N. b.,
has been lying in port of Quebec some 8
weeks flying secession flag.

COnqmering a Peace.

We are told that the war must 60 on un-
til we conquer peace. There must be no

ball.-StdteSndn.

more gusto than the Statesman. That
paper knows full well that the Federal Gov
ernment askes 10 more than a cessation OF
hostililies by the Rebels and the surrender
of the properties of the Government held
by them. Let the Secessionists lay down
their arms and be treated according to thcir
deserts, and the object the war on the part
of the Union forces will have been accom-
plished. To talk Of compromise with arm
ed Rebels in sheer treason, INDUCED in on

the Government, and your resolves to depose

The Significance OF the National Loan.
Occasional" of the Philadelphia Press,
speaking of the recent Government loan
says well:
Now that the rebels realize the utter
disappointment of their prophecies in the
cheerful maintenance Of our national credit,
and contrast our healthy financial future
with the despair and bankruptcy staring
them 10 them in the face they will be able
to anticipate and prepare for the doom that
is at last certain to evertake them. They
have drawn from their sparse population
the larger portion Of their resourses. The
loyal States rest upon the solid assurance
of being able to raise army after army, and
Of being competent to feed and TO pay
their troops, while assisting internal manu-
features and stimulating trade and traffic
in all their manifold operations, The
American people are only beginning to ex-
hibit the affluance Of their patriotism and
the inhaustable character Of their unlimit-
ed elements in maintaining the govern
ment and the army. The rebels have been
many years preparing for the treason they
are now conducting amid the clash of arms.
The myriads who stand by the flag have
just taken the field, and have just commence
ed display Of their resolute determination
and their material advantages.

JOHN BRIGHT UPON THE WAR.-John
Bright, at a recent speech in Rochdale,
England, alluded to the war in this coun-
try, and among other things, said:-
~ saw that the war, be it successful ornOt,
he il Christian or not, be it wise or not, is a
war TO sustain the government and 10 sus-
tain the authority of a great nation; and
that the people of England, if they are true
to their sympathes to their own great act
of 1854, to which reference has already
been made, wW hare no sympathy for those
wAo aOish to build up great empire on The
perpetual bondage of millions of their .tsl-
low men," Loud cheers.
