result The South may be subdued,
after animmense sacrifice O human
life has been made, myriads Of
money expended, and business ru-
ined, the farming interest crushed,
and much good property destroyed
but where will the old and glorious
Union Of former days beg We
seriously ask-where?
While, then, every preparation
is being made to prosecute the war
with vigor and success, on our part,
let us. not forget that the South is
also awake, and at work to give us
a warm reception, and, consequent-
ly, it is the solemn duty of all the
friends of peace, order, prosperity,
and harmony, to use all the legal,
moral, and Christian means within
their reach, to bring about, if that
can be done, the reconciliation OF
all parties, and the reconstruction
of the Union, on its former but
still frmer basis; but should that
not be possible, the best must be
made Of things as they ire. The
history of the past should teach
nations, as well as individuals.
wisdom and moderation in all
things. We have never said one
word against the propriety, or ne.
cessity of making the most ener-
getic, comprehensive, and complete
preparation for the war, but VIC
have advocated-and we still adj
vocate-the necessity of having
peace restored, so as to save oul
best men from death, and the ma.
ton from being ruined. Three
months hence, there will be mil.
lions of converts to our views Of
the necessity of making this war a
short one, and of reaching the goal
OF peace as soon as possible.

Imprisonment for Debt.

eve believe nearly, if not every
State in the Union, have long ago
abolished the uncivilized, odious
law of Imprisonment for debt. And
it now remains for a Republican
Congress and a Republican Admin
istration, to again inaugurate this
hated law. The Congress Just adj
.journed, passed a bill for the col
lection of the direct taxes, making
it an offence punishable with i'm
prisonment for any man to refuse
to pay his proportion OF the said
tax when called upon by the Gov
eminent tax collectors. lie is to
be ~incarcerated, and there remain
until he pays not only the tax lev
led, but six per cent. thereon, from
the time of his Imprisonment. 1t
makes no difference whethera man
has the money or not-whether he
refuses to pay because of opposition
to the law, or from necessity, to
prison he must 60, and there re-
main until he does pay the original
sum, with the six per cent. added.
Some may ask how can a man be
expected to pay his tax after he is
confined in Jail, where he has no
opportunity to either make or raise
the money? Don't ask such fool
ish questions, or you may lay your
self liable to the charge of being a
"traitor," and then God only knows
what they might do with you! 1t
will be enough for you to know
that Mr.. Lincoln wants six hun
dred millions Of dollars, and you
must pay your share of it, though
your children go without bread.
He has commenced a very costly
war for the purpose of maintaining
the Chicago Platform-(he might
have compromised the whole mat
ter, but wouldn't do it)-and after
bankrupting the country, will have
to, as he said himself, compromise
in the end. We shall lay these
things before the people in their
proper light during the next few
weeks in the meantime let every
man take under reflection that
which he is already acquainted
with. And we would here say
that the present state of affairs is
only the beginning of the end, I'M
less there be a speedy termination
of this unholy war.

The Blockade

The blockade Of the Southern
ports, and of the Mississippi river,
are beginning already to hnye its
Legitimate effect, We copy the
following from theIowa State Jour
nal, which shows clearly that the
blockade will have to be removed
from the Mississippi or the North
west will be ruined:
"The blows dealt blythe Admin
istration to punish d~isloyalty are
most fearful in their recoil. The
10y al Northwest i stbeing ruined by
measures taken to harass and dis
turb the country of the Southern
Mississippi. Whether the Admin
istration knows it or not is a cues
ton somebody else must answer.
Wheat, in this city, of q good mer-
charitable quality, will not bring
twenty cents per bushel ; corn has
been sold and delivered one hun
dred miles east Of us for seven cents
per bushel, and still down, down,
is the fearful tendency. 1t always
appeared to us that the better pol
icy was to drain the South of spe.
and concentrate it here.
The loyal Northwest and the dis.
loyal South feel alike the blow.
The last, stimulated to greater en-.
deavors, sows broader acres, and
lives while we languish. We can
tell the "blood invoking" advocates
of this war, that the "plain men
of Mr.. Lincoln' proclamation are
becoming aroused. They see ruin
staring them in the face. They
see every avenue which has hith-
erto brought wealth choked up
more, they see evidences of the
animus of this war, and ali Of them.
Republicans as well as Democrats.
are beginning to think. From ev.
cry hilltop of Iowa the cry will
soon come, "PEAcE, take off re.
strictions, unlock the channel Of
trade, give us peace and life" We
know it we state nothing from
hearsay or conjecture it is the
monotone of the people which will
become stronger with the need.
The Mississippi must be opened
and the Northwest saved.

Latest from England.

Another fire of considerable mag
nitude had occurred at the wharf
Of Curling q Co., on the Thames,
not far from the scene Of the late
confagration. Fortunately the
fremen succeeded in confirming the
flames within narrow limits. and
the loss was only about $4,000.
The London Times gives place
in its city article to an anonymous
letter, calling attention to the pro-
posed AmerApn loan, and suggest
ing that British subjects taking
part in it will Offend the neutrality
proclaimed by the Government.
Mr. Ten Broeck's American horse
Starke, after running second for
the Goodwood Stakes, on the 31st,
succeeded on the following day in
winning the Goodwood Cup. The
race was a fine one, as Starke only
beat the Wizard by a head. The
American horse Optimist was third
(three lengths behind,) and Nor
manly was fourth. ThetAmerican
horses had the usual liberal allow
ances in the weights carried, over
their English competitors, and a
movement was on foot to modify
these allowances to foreign bred
horses.
News of the battle of Bulls Run
was received on Sunday, the 4th,
and caused a profound sensation
Northern Americans were much
depressed, and the Southerners cor
respondingly elated. There was
almost a collision in the Liverpool
News-room. Mr.. RusselPs letter
to the Times was confined to graph
ic details Of the rout of the North
ern Army. He calls it a cowardly
rout-a miserable causeless panic,
and disgrace to men in uniform
not soldiers.
The Times, editorially, says the
victory was a complete one. The
Union army lost all their military
honor, and wishes it could find
something to congratulate either
victors or vanquished, but says
nothing but what must stimulate
the evil passions Of both combat
ants.
On the last day of the session of
Parliament Lord Palmerston ex-
pressed his views, and said if the
blockading fleet should allow any
vessel to enter any blockaded port
on paying duties, from that mo-
ment the blockade was raised. A
belligerent may seal up a port, but
when he lets a single vessel in, his
right is gone.
Parliament closed on the 9Th.
The Queens speech was read, 1t
says our foreign relations are
friendly and satisfactory, and trusts
there is no danger of the peace of
Europe. She says of American af-
fairs She has determined, in COM
mon with the other powers of Eu-
rope, to observe a strict neutrality
between the contending parties.

RGT AS much is said about the
attitude of the European Pow
ors threatening the blockade, after
special inquiry at the State Depart
ment there is authority for saying
that in the instance when the Nj
agara was off the station of Charles
ton Harbor for twenty-four hours,
Lord Lyons brought the subject to
the notice of the United States
Government. With that exception,
which happened twelve weeks ago,
no foreign government has ex-
pressed a word of discomfort con-
corning the blockade. On the con-
trary, it is universally respected by
foreign governments, although
some OF their subjects are very ac-
tive in endeavoring to evade the
blockade, and are very clamorous
against it.

AS the train which left Syracuse
this morning, having on board rs
passengers and about 250 United
States soldiers, passed q point two
miles west of Lookout Station,
about thirty shots were fired at it
from behind a woodpile and the
brush skirting the road, killing

of the locomotive cab, had hishead
shot off by a ball.

This paper completes the year.
All subscribers to the Democratic
Press, are hereby informed, that
all subscriptions and arrears, anG
also, all advertisements, not paid
for and now due, must be paid
forthwith at the Press office. All
old subscriptions, not paid within
two weeks, will be charged at the
increased rates, which are published
on the first page of the paper.
The price Of the paper is, if paid
in advance, 81 80 per year if not
paid in advance, 50 90 a-year. We
do our best to serve our readers
with a paper which is well worthy
of their support and we mean to
make it still better as we proceed
on our journalistic career. But as
the laborer is worthy of his hire,
and as we have to pay office rent,
the printers, and for paper every
week, in hard cash-saying moth
ing of house rent, or our own per-
sonal labor as Editor, &c.-and will
soon have to engage more hands,
we cannot 60 ahead without ready
money, and, therefore, we must
insist upon receiving pay for the
paper in advance. What we want,
and must now have, is five hundred
new subscribers, and pay in ad-
vance. The Democrats Of Preble
county can do these things if they
like. We suggest that where an
honest and hard working man is
struggling with hard times, that
his better to do neighbor should
supply him with the paper for one
year. What one cannot do, the
many ian. Friends we are in your
hands, and do not fear the result ;
bring us fresh subscribers, and new
advertisements, and thus let our
neighbors see that you value your
principles, and that you are fully
prepared to pay for them, and to
die for them.
The time has now fully come
for us to use all the Legitimate
means within our reach, not only
to make the Democratic Press a
permanent institutional first class
family paper, and an able and un-
hinching advocate of the great con
stitutional principles for which
General Washington fought and
successfully conquered, but also an

Sir - have often been surprised
at the patience and good nature of
the Company and their servants at
the Eaton Depot ; for, of all the
rude, daring, and thoughtleSs care
lessness with which men, women
and children rush into the jaws of
death, the Eaton lookers-on beat
all and there can be no doubt, that
if the boys and girls are allowed to
throng the cars on their arrival at
Eaton, as they have SO long been
permitted to do, the death Ct more
than one must be the price paid
for their venturesome boldness.
The whole thing is a shame and
disgrace to parents, and their pre-
cocious offspring, | warn the peo-
pie Of Eaton in time, to keep their
own persons, and their forward
children from the cars as they APP
proach and leave the depot. Stran-
gers have expressed their astonish-
ment at the thoughtless way In
which the people rush to the cars
in Eaton, and the Company and
their servants feel dreadfully an
noyed by such outrageous conduct.
All can do as q passenger, is to
give the warning.
Yours truly,
A RAILWAY PASSENGER.
Richmond, Aug. 10, 1861.
