Eighteenth Regiment o. v. NJ
Gov, Dennison.


ct. R. Stanley has been re-appointed Co.
lionel OF the Eighteenth Regiment. This
will be a great inducement for The old com.
panies to re-enlist. The Chaplaincy would
have been more in his line. Home Nelps,

Our State, under the military abuses
of Gov. DENNIsoN, has become the
laughing stock of all other States,
except Pennsylvania. She retains
our military status. We are not only
thus disgraced by our Governor, but
the vigorous prosecution of the war
has been very materially retarded by
the appointment of such material as
the Ns,cs allSdes to above. Now, in
this 18th Regiment, for the three
years service, we have Col. STANLEY,
who every man in the county knows
is net competent as an officer. We
haye nothing to say against him as a
man and a citizen, but as Colonel of
a Regiment of raw recruits, that re.
quires thorough drill and discipline,
Col. STANDBY is not the man. Lieu.
tenants Colonel BoLLEs has been out in
the three past months at OIarksburgh,
Va. lie has quick perception, ard,
if he will apply himself, will make a
good officer. The Major lGRovHNoR)
is a man, we believe, Of no military
experience, but''possessed of ability to
learn. They are al Republicans. Is
this the best you could do, Governor,
for a Democratic Regimenta Of
course, your nominations were made
without respect to party on the no.
party principle. ANDREWS and CLARK
civilians, gentlemen and Republicans,
are appointed Lieutenant. Colonel and
Major OF the Marietta Regiment,
seth, STILLS, Colonel o. F. MOORE,
Lieutenant. Colonel and ROBINSON,
Major, are appointed at Portsmouth
for the 33d Regiment; all Republicans
Col. SILL IS a military man ; and this
is, perhaps, under the late call fol
troops, the best Oficered Regiment in
the State.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Democracy and other Union men OF
Ohio, in Convention assembled, adopt and
declare the following resolutions as the ha.
sis upon which they appeal to all patriotic
Union and liberty loving citizens to unite
and rally in the support Of the ticket this
day presented.
lst--Resolved, That the civil war, BY
which our country is at present distracted is
the natural offspring of misguided sectional
ism, engendered by fanatical agitaton North
as well as South, and that the Democratic
party have equally opposed the extremists Of
both sections, and having at all times zeal
ousIy contended for the administration oil
the General Government within its Consti.
tutional limits, that party is no way respon-
sibIe for the calamities that have resulted
from departure from lis doctrines and a
disregard of its warning and advice.
2d--Resoved, That in this national emer-
gency the Democracy and other Union men
ot Ohio, bdnshing all feeling of passion or
resentment, will recollect only their duty to
the whole country that this war should not
be waged in conquest or subjugation, nor
Tor the purpose OF overthrowing or interfe-
ring with The rights or established institu.
tlons OF the States, but to defend and main,
tain the supremacy of the Constitution, Ond
TO preserve the Union with all the dignity,
equality and rights of the several States un l..
impaired, and that as soon as these objects
are accomplished, the war ought 10 cease.
3d-That while we deem it the duty of
every citizen to support and sustain the Gov
eminent, constitutionalIy administered, we
recommend that the Legislatures of the sew
eral States adopt the proper measures for
callOga National Convention for the pur-
pose OF settling our present difficulties, aud
restoring and preserving the Union.
4th-Ihat the corruption, extravaganza,
incompetency, and iavoritism shown in the
administration Of the War Departments vf
the State and Federal Governments deserve
and receive our unqualified condemnation,
and ought to be Immediately corrected and
reformed
5th-That the volunteer soldiers who, at
the call of their country, promptly went
forth to do battle in defense of the Consli-
tuticn and laws, and in many cases have
been compelled under inexperienced Off
GERS, are entitled to our hearty thanks for
the gallant manner in which they have dis
charged their duties.
6th-That the privilege of the writ OF
Habeas Corpus is one of the great buwalks
of freedom and that no citizen can be le-
gally deprived of'the benefit thereof, except
by Congress, and then in case of rebellion
or invasion, when the public safety may re-
quire it, and that the late attem pit of the
President of the United States to suspend
the privilege of the same is uGwarrSnted
by the Federal Constitution.

Captain A. Fenton's Company.

This, the second Company from
Vinton County, started on Monday
for Athens to join the 18th Regiment
If they do not go on to Marietta to
join the CUTLER Regiment. The com.
pany was first started for the CUTLER
Regiment, but on a spur vote in the
Court House last Saturday, a major
ity voted to 60 into the 18th Regi.
ment. About twenty-five, we are in.
formed, will not go in the 18th, as
they lack confidence in its efficiency.
This company elected, on Saturday,
Mr.. a. FENToN, Captain GEORGE
DUNKLE, First Lieutenant and Ho-
MER G. JONES Second Lieutenant
These gentlemen will make No. 1 off.
GERS, mark the prediction, if they can
only have q drilled and disciplined
Regiment. Captain FENToN has seen
service in Mexico, and is naturally as
cool as any other man. We most
cordially wish the boys success and
honors.
Our town, on Monday, presented q
lively appearance, filed up with wa.
gons, carriages and horsee. Men,
women end children bidding adieu to
the brave boys, perhaps forever, to
as they goto lay down their lives in
defense Of the Constitution and our
Flag. We saw but one man in the
company that we thought would fight
for de contraband.

Scorbutic diseases are the parent stock
from which arises large proportion of the
the fatal maladies that afilict mankind.-
They are bs it were species Of potato rot
in the human constitution, which under.
mines and corupts all the sources oil its vi.
talily and hastens its decay. They are the
germ from which spring, Consumption,
Rheumatism, Heart Disease, Liver Com
plants and EruptiVe Diseases which will BE-
recognized among those most fatal and des-
tructed 10 the races of men. So dreadful afe
its consequences to human life, that it is
hardly possible TO over estimate the impor-
tance OF an actual reliable femedy, that can
sweep out this Scrofulous contamination. -
We know then we shall proclaim welcome
news to our readers of one from such quar-
ter as will leave little doubt of its efficacy
and still more welcome, when we tell them
that it surely does accomplish the end desir-
ed. We mean Ayers Sarsaprlla, and il is
certainly worthy the attention of those who
are afflicted with ScrOfula or ScrOfulous
complaints.-[Register, Albany, NY,

Habeas Corpus.

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, one of
the most thorough-going and intense
Republican politicians that can be
found in the country, is not willing to
approve and endorse the acts of the
President in authorizing the Lieuten,
ant General to suspend the habeas
corpus, the great safeguard of liber-
ty. Mr.. Sherman knows that the act
is unconstitutional, and having taken
an oath 10 support the Constitution,
he cannot vote to authorize the Pres
ident to violate it. 1t il wonder
that there can be two opinlons upon
the subject, yet Democrats and Union
men few weeks ago had their loyal
ty impeached, and we're stigmatized
as traitors because they took the view
of!he matter that the Republican sue.
cessor Of Mr.. Chase, in She Senate,
has since expressed. 1t is enough to
say, that if all our written constitu.
tions and laws which all officers are
sworn to support, can be set aside
and violated whenever the President
processes to believe it is necessary to
do 50, they are not worth the paper
upon which they are written, and all
the peo pie hold their liberties at the
mercy and caprices Of that officer
But, in fact, this miserable and dan
gerons plea cannot be justly put in to
sustain the President.-SOuthsz o.

Narrow Escape.

On last Thursday evening the bridge
at Vinton Furnace gave way whilst a
heavy load OF ore and OK team were
crossing. The driver escaped as the
bridge was sinking. The team and
ore all fell some twenty, five feet, we
think, two Of the oxen hanging mid
way, until the yokes were cut, and
tbey fell into the creek. None seri.

State Ticket.

We this week place at the head Of
our columns our State Ticket, follow
ed by resolutions adopted by the Con
vention, which certainly is Platform
that every Union.lOviDg man can give
his hearty support We never before
felt such entire satisfaction with a
ticket as we do with the present.
They are all ofthe best men We havein
the State, and the fright men in the
right place." We have been person
ally acquainted with II. j. JEwETT
since 1910. He commenced his pro.
fessional career at the bar, coping with
such minds as Judge KENNoN, Judge
CowAN, Gen. BELL, Gen. GODDARD,
Gen. STOKELY, DAN. PECK, &c. He
ranks at the head of the profession in
Ohio. AS a fnsncier he has few su
periors, ard possesses Executive abil'
ity that but few men can equal. He
is a self made man, and justly stands
high in public opinion, on account Of
his professional abilities, amiableLess
of character, and benevolence Of heart.
If JEwETT and j. SoOUV HARRISON
are not two Of our plain citizens, and
Of the people, we have none in Ohio.
We shall have more to say Of the
ticket hereafter.
AS to the platform, the old land
marks are rot obliterated. That old
chart, the Constitution, is still the
base of the policy of the Democratic
a~d Union men Of our glorious young
empire of the West-OAio. Let us
as a people 60 to work in earnest and
redeem our State. Let us have men
in Office who will bring back constitu,
tlonal rule and order to the people
that will maintain the dignity and
character Of Ohio and that will sec
that our brave boys who go forth tc
battle for the maintainance Of oul
General Government, shall not b.
robbed oftheir provisions and clothes
by set of thieving Army Contract
, ors, Commissaries, &c.

Killing our Horses--.The Tru,h.

The Wheeling Press states outra-
geous and cruel conduct Of our Off
cials at Clarksburg, Va. Why are
not these gentlemen court-martialed
We have conversed with our men re-
turned, who say it is true. One Of the
boys says he saw three horses die from
sheer neglect, and it is believed that
at tie same post horses has been
bought for SIS and put into the Gov.
ernment OF $3.50, by an old political
hack from Chicago; but hear the
Press
We learn from reliable authority,
that in consequence Of the most cul.
pable neglect, many valuable horses
are lost to the Government by actual
starvation and thirst, at the post al
Clarksburg. A gentleman direct
from that place says that during the
excessively hot weather last week,
five and six horses day periShed for
want Of water, and that he knows that
for a week time horses stood tied to
stakes and trees without drop ol
water. Who is to blame for this p
1t is not only shameful imposition
upon the Government, but it is a
species of heartlcss cruelty that should
not be tolerated in q Christian land.

AGE AND DEBILITY.

AS old age comes creeping on, it brings
with it many infmities. Loss of appetite
and weakness impair the health, and want
Of activity makes the mind dscontented
and unhappy. In cases where old age adds
its influence, it is almost impossible to add
vigor and health, and although many reme-
dies have been tried, all have failed, until
BGRHAVE'S HOLLAND BITTERS
were known and used. In every case where
they have been employed, they have invara.
bly, given strength and restored the appetite.
They have become great agent for this
alone, and are used by many people who are
suffering from loss Of appetite and general
debility. In cases oflong standing chronic
diseases, they act as charm, invigoratng
the system, thus giving nature another op.
portunity to repair physical injuries. See

Shameful Treatment of Ohio Volunteers
The State Administration.

The State Administration.
George P. Buell., Esq, thus writes
to tn. Times Of the treatment our
brave volunteers have experienced at
the hands of the State authorities
ga few days ago, the Eighteenth
Regiment, Col. Stanley, of Ohio vol.
unteers was mustered ont of service
at Camp Putnam, Marietta, in this
county. Instead Of ceiving the r
pay at the time expected, the soldiers
were treated in a manner wholly nm.
worthy a great State like Ohio. They
were compelled to return to their
homes without even the means to
purchase the necessarieS of life, with
the assurane that if they should re.as.
semble at some underlined period, to
be determined by the Paymaster's
Department, they would receive their
regular dues.
"This regiment had been treated,
from the beginning, in such a manner
as to disgust most Of the officers and
nearly all the privates. The men
cheerthlly discharged every duty
watching bridges, making forced
marches, and smarting even under
such military burdens as Gen. Hill
they accepted without a murmur the
uniforms furnished them by the State
authorities, and which we're unfit to
cover the wax statues OF stationary
museums ; but they expected, upon
their return, to be treated according
to the usage of civilized governments.
One company refused to give up their
arms until they should receive their
pay, and many other companies were
ready, almost in solid body, to follow
their example.
"The miserable excuses of the au.
thorities that the pay rolls were not
completed, &c., &C., will deceive no.
body but the grossly ignorant. The
Ohio troops have been imposed upon,
almost from the beginning of this
war, in the most outrageous manner,
and trust the press will everywhere
take up the cause OF the volunteer. -
There has been fraud-infamous, stu
pendous fraud somewhere I; let the
records be searched. Why the civil
authorities Of Ohio and the city Of Co.
lumbus should be behind the authori-
ties of Indiana and the city Of Indian
apolis, demands a serious and radical
explanation. G. P. B."
The people will apply the remedy
to this "infamous; stupendOus fraud''
by turning the present State Admin
istrstion out of power and electiDg a
Democratic one in its place.
