EDITOR LEADER-SR As the condition
of the country is such that the Government
is obliged to call upon the people for their
support against those who would destroy it,
and as it is the duty of every well wisher Of
his country to render whatever aid he can
for the protection Of the Government, feel
it my duty to present to the public for the
benefit of the people an implement of war
which I have been to work at for eight or
ten years past, and for which I have lately
obtained letters patent. It becomes a
double duty as other parties are trying to de-
fraud me of my rights, and are introducing
my invention in the seeded States to be
used as q means of destruction against the
Government and the Free States.
My invention consists of centrifugal gun
which discharges balls with great force and
rapidity,-from one to five hundred per min
ute with force equal to gunpowder,-and
they can be thrown in any direction. Many
inventors have worked to accomplish the
same thing, but have failed to direct the
balls. This accomplish with my machine,
What wish in this exciting time Of war and
trouble is, for some patriotic persons who
have means to aid me in presenting this in
vention to the public for the public good.
five look at the past, we readily discover
that civilization and freedom advance, and
war diminishes, just in proportion to the dis
cOvery and invention Of implements to take
human life. The introduction of my inven-
ton, together with the other great engines
of war, will soon bring this crisis to close,
and on the side of liberty and justice.
For the truth of what say of my inven-
tien, can refer you to experiments made by
myself in this city, and those in Boston
made by parties infringing my right, and
who are now in the South with the machine
built in Boston. WM. JosLYN.

RIFLE GUARDS
A company of sharp-shooters, to be armed
with that deadly weapon known as the

at No. II Public Square, near the Court
House. 1t is called the " Buckeye Rifle
Guards" and is composed thus far of athe-
letic young men, accustomed TO exercise, and
expert in the use Of the rife. As soon as
the requisite number have Joined, they will
elect their officers and at once tender their
services to the Government. Parties from
neighbOring towns wishing to enlist for
three months, can do 80 by applying
ct once at the headquarters, or address
ing Rife Guards, P. o. Box 2925, and are
required to hold themselves in readiness to
report at headquarters at an hours notice.
The Government pays $11 per month and

The full board of officers has not yet been

are at National Hall. To facilitate the hll-
ing OF the company to its full complement,
German mass meeting will be held this
evening at National Hall, when good speak
ers will be in attendance, and the Lists open

adopted country.
