GRAFTON, Angus. 24.-Last evening. while
Gov. Thomas was addressing a crowd in front OF
a hotel in Cumberland, some sec. ssionists raised
a disturbance, which resulted in their being drIv
en- home. and the destruction OF the Alleghenian
Office secession newspaper.
This morning, the train bound west, which had
Gov. Thomas on board, when about eight miles
this side of Cumberland, came suddenly on sew
eral cross ties thrown across the track. At the
same time, number of armed men were seen
rapidly descending neighboring hill. The en-
gineer increased the speed of the locomotive, and
succeeded in throwing the ties off the track
with but little damage to the engine. Some fed
eral scouts then fired into the train it is supposed
by mistake, but without doing any damage. The
design of the secessionists was to take Governor
Thomas prisoner.

Now Is the Time To Subscribe-Keep
the Ball Rolling.

We appeal to the Democracy of Indiana to lib
orally sustain and encourage their press. In
time like this, every Democrat should take
Democratic paper, ard see that his neighbor takes
one. Great events are occurring, which may
change the character Of our Government, if the
people are not vigiiant in maintaining those pop
ular rights which haye made us a free and pros
porous nation. The press is a powerful agency
in exposing the designs of those who, in the
name of liberty. would strike down all that is
valuable to freemen. The Sentinel will endeavor
to do its whole duty in boldly speaking for the
right; in maintaining free speech and free press
to expose the coruptons of the party in power,
and the eorrupting influences at work, which, if
permitted to continue, will undermine our free in
stitntions and substitute therefor despotic cen
trail power. In battling manfully for the
Constitution and the Union, for the preserva-
ton of those great popular rights which have
been both the glory and boast of our ma
ton, we ask the Democracy of Indiana to
strengthen our hands. Let the influence
Of the Sentinel, in maintaining Democratic princi.
piles, be felt in every part OF the State. The way
to accomplish this end is enlarge its circulation.
We want 20 900 more subscribers-20, 900 more
readers, in ninety days. This can be done if the
present subscribers of the Sentinel will see his
Democratic neighbors who do not take it and get
them to subscribe. Democrats of Indiana, little
effort on your part will put the Sentinel into the
hands of every Democratic family in the State.
We urge every Democrat who desires the triumph
OF Democratic principles and the preservation OF
free government-the rule Of the people not the
servants of the people, to go to work at once. II
you want paper to sustain your principles, give
US the material aid in the way of subscriptions.
Don't delay. Let every Democrat constitute
himself an agent to raise clubs in every township,
and forward the names as fast as received
