be among the troops to participate in the

of them leave other ports besides New York

Of the expedition, when it is stated tha
one Of the transports--the Daniel Webster

ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE,

he cou,iu lfQitaru commiltees Of Ohio:

J
TO the County Military Committees of Ohio:
GENTLEMEN: You have been called upon
by the Governor of the State in his procla-
nation of this date, to take prompt and ac-
tive measures for procuring from the citizens
a supply Of clothing and blankets for the
troops now in the field.
In carrying into effect the views of the
Governor expressed in that proclamation, it
will be well for you to consider the follow
ing suggestions:
Endeavor to have the object presented to
the people on the Sabbath. Let the ap-
peal be made in the morning, and the con-
tributions in the afternoon. Appoint trusty
agents for the purpose of making collections,
who are known, and in whom the people
have confidence. Let every article be
marked with the name of the contributor,
and whether it be given or sold, let your
contributions be collected at your county
town without delay, and a complete invoice
carefully made, with the name of the con-
tributors, the estimated value of the arti-
cles, and note indicating whether they are
to be paid for.
AS SOON as your packages are maue up,
forward them to the Quartermaster at this
place, and send with each copy of the in
voice, and also copy by mail complete as
above described.
Arrangements are made TO forward them
to the army without delay. Every thing
you receive should be all sUool. Shirts and
drawers should be made Of flannel, colored
grey or red. Socks should be heavy and
very strong. Blankets should be colored, il
possible, and thick, to weigh four pounds or
more, and not woven too tight.
Comforts will not do for troops in the
6eld-when wet they are worthless and re-
quire long time to dry; but they may
well be substituted by families at home for
woolen blankets, while they send the latter
to the soldiers.
Let your action in this matter be prompt.
Immediate supplies are needed, especially
of blankets. Obtain assistance from as ma
ny patriotic citizens as possible, and let the
next ten days see our Quartermaster's ware
house we'll filed with the tangible eviden-
ces that Ohio does not forget her patriot
soldiers in the field. G. P. BUcKNGHAM

infantry and squad Of rebel cavalry apoar-
Cd in view around q house occupied by
widow Childs, about three miles from Min.

slant on both sides, when the rebels we're
driven from tho house. One of our men
was wounded. 1t is impossible to learn the
rebel loss. It is believed that number
had secretsd themselves in the outbuildings
but after the firing Of the first ball .from
Miners Hill they left.

the rebels last night approached the posi-
ton occupied by the Federal troops of Gen

could make no exchange, as he did not re

This well-advertised body of green-coat.

exhibit their skill on the rebels. Last week
the enemy made demonstrations Of an ad.

Iowa aud rIInnesola Elec,Ions.

The result of the elections in these young
States on the 9Th of October was a substantial
Union triumph in both. Gov Kirkwood is re-
elected in Iowa by an increased majority. He
is thorough Union Republican, and has de-
voted his best efforts to placing Iowa on pro-
per war footing in the contest with rebellion
The vote in Minnesota is smaller than usual and
yet the patriotic Republican Governor Ramsey
is chosen again by majority greater than two
years ago. Minnesota has not been backward
when regiments were called for, and Governor
Ramsey has efficiently sustained the Federal
Government and the reputation of Minnesota.

Tho war in Missouri.

RolIa, Mo. l4.--The report brought here
day or two ago that battle took place
on the 9th between a body of Kansas
troops under Montgomery and Dennison
and the advance guard of McCulloch's army
and some State Guards under Judge Che
neault, is confirmed by parties just arrived
from Springfield. The battle commenced
near Shanghai, Burton county, and the reb-
els were driven back with considerable loss
and pursued some forty miles. Montgom-
cry then fell back on Greenfield. Great
alarm was felt in Springfield lest Montgom-
cry should attack that place, and the troops
there had rested on their arms several
nights, Montgomery is said to have had
5000 men and the rebels 2,400. This
statement can hardly be relied upon, as we
have had no previous advices that such a
force of Kansas troops was in that vicinity.
A band ofLhree hundred marauding reb.
els eucamped at Wilson's Mill, on Bryants
Fork of the White river, in Douglas county
were attacked some days since by body
of Home Guards, and fifteen killed and
wounded. 1t is reported hero that that the
18th Illinois Regiment, under Gen. Wy
man, had surprised and taken Lebanon, in
Laclede county, with all the stores and pro-
visions of the rebels, but this needs confr-
nation.
St. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. 14.-Eighty ol
Major James's Cavalry at Cameron on Sat.
urday came upon 25 or 80 rebels in g
cornfeld, 20 miles south of Cameron, in
Ray county. The advance guard of nint
routed them, they seeking refuge in the
timber.
Our guard was reinforced by 80, when
they completely drove them from that sec
tion, killing eight and taking five prisoners.
| -Four Federals were wounded, but none Kill
led.
Our cavalry were at first fired on by rs
men. One Lieutenant has 80 bullet holes
in his clothes and six scratches on his skin,
Renick, Mo-, Oct. I5.-The train on the
North Missouri R. r. from st. Louis, was
stopped at this place yesterday morning by
party Of 80 armed rebels, and six Federal
recruiting officers on board taken prisoners
The rebels then searched the train, but fol
some unknown reason did not enter the ex,
press car, in which there were 800 Enfield
rifles and two tons of military clothing, des
tined for Nebraska. Two of the captured
officers we're released on the spot, and three
or four others were set at liberty few
hours afterwards. No shots were fred and
no one hurt.
St. Louis, Oct. IA guard of 20 Fed.
eral troops stationed at the bridge ovel
Big River, on the Iron Mountain r. R
about so miles south of here, were captured
by band of rebels on Monday night ant
the bridge burned. On receipt of this in
telligence Gen. Curtis dispatched severa
companies of troops from Camp Benton
and a squad of bridge builders to the scene
of trouble.

why DO Teeth Decay 2

All theories, that time and again have
been advanced in answer to this inquiry,
have long since vanished before the true
doctrine of the action of external corrosive
agents. The greatand all-powerful destroy
er of human teeth is acid, vegetable or min
eral; and it matters not whether that acid
is formed in the mouth by the decomposi-
ton of particles of food left between and
around the teeth, or whether it is applied
directly to the organs themselves: the re-
suit is the same. The enamel is dissolved,
corroded, and the tooth destroyed. Much,
very much of the decay in teeth may be at
tributed to tho corrosive effects of acetic ac-
id, which is not only in use as condiment in
the shape of vinegar, but is generated by
the decomposition of any and every variety
of vegetable matter. When we consider
how very few persons comparatively, take
especial pains to remove every particle ol
food from between and around their teeth
Immediately after eating, can we wonder
that diseased teeth are so common, and
that their early loss is SO frequently deplor-
ed? Practical DENTIST.

THE K. G. C.-The Mansfield Herald,
speaking of the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle, known to exist all over the State, says:
Some weeks since we were informed that
it had 1000 members in Richland county.
Our informant at the same time gave the
number in Ashland at 1,l00, and in Mari
on at 800. The recent exposure proves
that he was correct in his estimate of the
latter county.
The Logan Record and Monitor, giving
result of the late election in that county,
uses the following language:
The southern Influence, through the or
ganization of the Knights of the Golden
Circle, was brought to bear with powerful
effect upon the voters of the old Democratic
party. The members of that organization
exerted themselves TO the extent Of theiI
power-made death struggle, and succee.
ded in electing their secession candidates.

1t is a significant fact, that all the papers
which sustain party in this crisis and how
ever they professedly support the Admin
istration, will not forego an organization in
opposition to it, are unfrieDdy to Gen. Fre-
mont. True, some papers Of different or
der are unfriendly to him, but there is no
break in the class referred TO. There is
special significance in this fact and a sig
nifcance worthy the attention Of the Ad-
miDistraton and its tried friends.

The following shots from late number

perils which environ Kentucky, have not
taken off the point of Prentice's pen in the
least. He cuts and thrusts just as vigor-

Most Of the secessionists say there isn't
