rvThe LEGISLATURE has done little Of inter
est the past week. except making an apProPri-
alton of 81 or $4,000 to furnish the Executive
Mansion. As we predicted a, the time, the
purchase of iha, building was the beginning
of a new and endless source OF unnecessary
expense. Other Governors with less salary
found and furnished their own private dwell
inss, and were quite as good men. and admin
iSiered and relired with quite as much honor as
Packer has or Curtin will, although the two
latter will absorb twice as much Of the public
moneys Giih their stations.

came to Mason City and Pomeroy, with
the positive declarations that they saw
the troops marching in this direction -
This report was repeated during the
day, on Monday, by scores Of persons
who professcd to have come with ex-
press haste to give the alarm. Nobody
doubted the truth of their reports
Yet, when the preparations were made
to meet them, they did not come, and
scouts sent out have failed to find them
But whether false alarm or not, it
demonstrates that we have populatio Il
ready to fight any force that may be
brought. And if we had arms, FIVE
thousand men could be concentrated
here in twelve hours, or an emergency.

A light Mistake.


As suitable to the times, we intended
to publish the Declaration Of lndepen-
dence in to-day's paper. But by some
misunderstanding the type settlers got
hold of the Constitution, instead. We
did not discover the mistake until it was
set up. But We presume the substitution
will be quite satisfactory to our readers
For, as Tom Corwin would say: "There
Is heap of good reading in the old
Constitution.
Now, that the very depth of society
is moved in reference to this Document
it is well that every citizen should have
it within his reach. This is not easily
done in any other way. We have often
found it impossible to get copy of the
Constitution when wanted, and no doubt
most of our readers have found them
selves in the same dilemma. By pre-
serving this copy of the Telegraph, every
neighborhood in the County will be sup
piled.
We have lived and prospered under
this Constitution for three quarters Of a
century. Under its benign influence we
have prospered beyond any precedent
in human history But the equity OF
its provisions, securing, as it does, the
rights Of all the citizens, does not suit
the ambitious views Of certain scheming
demagogu who would sacrifice the
rights of millions to secure their own
selfish purposes Butthis Constitution,
made by our fathers, stands in the way
of their unholy ambition. They have,
therefore, conspired in reasonable re-
bellion to destroy this sacred chart OF
our liberties, that they may rule the
people as the petty tyrants OF the Old
World rule the oppressed masses there.
Whatever lying accomplices may say to
the contrary, this is the precise question
lying at the bottom of our present
struggle. 1t therefore becomes impor-
tant that all should understand the in
strument for which we are contending.

Great Excitement.

Our town has been in a state Of in
tense excitement for some days past
All sorts of rumors have been afoat.-
On Saturday night, a squad Of Seces-
sionists, under the notorious DR., Jen
kins, of Greenbotto,n, arrested and
carried off Messrs. Waggoner and Miller,
two prominent Union men from near
PIT. Pleasant. 1t was understood that
the understrappers of jeff. Davis and
Gov. Letcher, with writs in their hands,
were prowling over Mason County for
the purpose of arresting the chief Union
men, and especially those who had been
members of the " heeliug Convention.
Many of them, to avoid falling into the
clutches Of these desperadoes, came over
into Ohio.
Mr. Frost, Of Ravenswood, member
of the Union Legislature about to meet
in Wheeling, and Sir. Polsley, the
Lieutenant Governor elect of the Union
Convention, were both in town, having
left home to avoid arrest by the rowing
bands ofrebels, known to have been Or
ganized for that purpose. They both
succeeded in reaching Ohio, and from
here left for Wheeling.
1t was reported on Saturday and Sun
day that 0. Jennings Wise, with 1900
troops, was on the way to Rarenswood
and intended to sweep the river region
of all Union men, Everybody on this
side who could raise a gun, went to the
help Of their neighbors overthe river
and soon 800 troops from Parkersture
were sent down, and are there yet, form
ing intrenchments, and getting ready
for a fight
On Monday. couriers arrived thick
and fast, announcing the advance 0
Wise and his force to take Ravenswood
and then to- march on to Mason City
opposite our town. Of course thi
aroused the whole county. Our Hom
Guards were called out, and with tiei
neat uniforms and thorough drill, mad
very fine appearance. They passe
over to the aid of the troops, and tin
citizens already in arms at Mason City
Scouts brought in the ereport that the ad
: vancing army OF Secessionists wa
within five or six miles An attac
was therefore deemed absolutely certain
We believe all the women and childre
Of Mason City, Hartford City and Wes
Columbia, fed to Ohio fer safety. Gu
strats were filed with the fugitives.-
Many of them brought what they coul
of their bedding and furniture.
In the meantime the people from tn
back townships in this county cam
pouring in, armed with rifles, shot gun
and whatever else they could find {
we; pons; so that by night there was
very respectable army in Pomero,
Teauy 10 cross over at given signal, /
assist their friends On the other side.
The Secessionists, if there were an7
heard of the preparations for meetin
them, and retired; for our troops ser
out scouts in all directions during IL
night, but found no army. This (Tue:
day. morning, all is quiet again. Thos
from the country are returning to the
homes. The women are retiring t
their deserted habitations; and Il
question is everywhere asked, and n
where satisfactorily answered-"w
all a false alarm?" This is a questi,
we cannot yet answer, Many respon:
