A scone Of exciting interest occurred at the

publicity from the number of persons present,
ia which MIR. Lincoln exhibited the Jacksonian

A delegation from California called to pro.
test against the influence supposed - be sxer-

enter iDto any personal controversy. He said
he had known Mr.. BakOr twenty-five years,
aud did not credit the aspersons. To conclude

neglected prophecies

WASHINGTON, "Wednesday. April 3, 1851.
TIE $1,000. 900 LOAN.


The Secretary OF the Treasury deeided this
morning to accept Only snch proposals as reach
cd 81 aud upward. This determination was
taken upon the ground that better terms could
be obtained for the Government than had been
offered below that mark, which could not be
disrsgarded in the facc Of the discretion con
ferred by law, enabling bin to declare unac-
ceptable bids, and TO substitute Treasury Notes.
Il is probable that the latter alternative will
be adopted, as the Immediate wants Of the De-
partment have Teen supplied by the three mil
lions OF accepted bids. No formal decision
has, however, been announced, and the Secre
tary holds il ia reserve for future consideration
The right to decline offers which are not sat-
isfactory, enables him to resis: the combinatio
which have heretofore comparatively paralized
the Government, when the aid of capital was
most required. The disappointed bidders, who
proposed within fraction Of "a, dislike being
excluded, bnt the public are satisfied that their
interests have been better protected than ever
before.
Numbers of kilograms were received at the
Department after the result was understood,
offering to take the remaining $4,000 900 at
"a, or a fraction over it. These came mainly
from parties who had failed in their caIcula-
tiOns. The Secretary decided they we're all
too late, and could not be considered as coul-
pliance with his advertisement. Hereafter the
bidding for Government loans will probably be
concentrated within closer margin.
The whole arrangement of his business, the
dispatch which attended il, aud The tscilities
extended to eyary body, have been unusually
commended, and exhibit the infusion Of tbat
energy, directness aud good faith into the De
p6rlmeut which must inspire confidence at hone
and abroad. Mr.. Chase personally superin-
tended the matter, and efficiently aided By
Slr. Harrington, his able Assistant Secretary.
OVer 250 letters were written after the closing
of the bids yesterday afternoon, and mailed
this morning before the departure of the 6rst
traiu, pouches having been expressly prepared
aud kept open for the purpose. Evsry bidder
was notified of the result 10 his individual case,
and all the Sub-Treasurers and other public
officers received their instructions silnultane
ously 10 return or retain the depo,its which
bad been made. This work required the pres
eDce of the Secretary, bis assistant aud the
principal clerks throughous most of the night
But IL was finished before the Depart
closed Perhaps there is no other such instance
Of dispatch in our history.

Now is the Time to Enlist.

There are now four regiments forming in
the Northwest, and, to fill up this compli-
ment, it will require some effort on the part
OF all loyal men. Every one can do some
ttling-if he cannot go to war himself, he
can be instrumental in persuading others to
60. The need of more mon is urgent There
should he more in Missouri, more in Ken
lucky, more in Western Virginia, and more
on the Potomac. For want of men Fremont
could not aid Mulligan, for want of men
Kentucky is in imminent danger of falling
under the control of the rebels, and for want
of men M'Clelan's success upon the Poto-
mac is made doubtful Ohio is much be-
hind, and Wood county should have 1000
men in the field. The rebellion must be
put down, and whether it is done this year,
or whether five is required, depends entire
ly upon the number of men that can be
brought into the field. The larger the force
the shorter and less bloody the war. We
appeal to the young men of Wood to come
forward and join the great Union Army
Several companies are now forming in this
place that should be filled up Immediately
All should go that can, and those that can
not should at least give few weeks of their
time and influence to the work.

The Controversy Settled.

We see by the Independent of last week
that the controversy between E. A. Higgins
and our friend Callard, growing out of the
unwarrantable assumptions of the former in
certain matters, has been amicably settled.
Mr.. H. acknowledges that the tailor "sewed
him up in his own bag" and that the slang
phases were used by him to draw public
attention of, the subject sin controversy
After stating this fact, however, Mr.. Hig-
gins again puts Mr.. Callard in the same po.
sition the latter demanded retraction OF, and
there, with few "honey compliments" lets
the tailor rest In concluding, Mr.. Higgins
says in substance that Mr.. Cailard was
drawn into the controversy with the belief
the he was under promise to us not to en-.
gage in the newspaper business again in
this place. This statement is true SO far as
the paper business is concerned; but it is
not true that Mr.. Callard allowed himself to
be influenced by our private business to
engage in political newspaper controver'
sy, and it is gross injustice to an innocent
party.to make such faise'insinuation. Mr.
Callard's. remarks were based solely upon
the position taken by Mr.. Higgins, as q
journalist, and bad no more to do with his
private affairs than man in the moon. This
much II is proper to state to acquaint the
public with the settlement of the matter.

The Election.

The recent election exhibits one of the
grandest features in the Union movement
yet witnessed-especially was this the case
in Wood county The Jewett ticket receiv-
cd but 282 votes, while the whole Union
ticket received majorites ranging from
twelve to fifteen hundred In this county
Capt. Cook received l4sl votes; in Ottawa
5SS; making 2069-and as he had no oppo-
sition this of course includes the vote for
Representative. The vote is a very light
one, but it tells in the right direction. The
popularity of the candidates OH the Union
ticket accounts for the failure to get up an
opposition, and the light vote is accounted
for partly from the fact that many of the
voters have enlisted and gone to the war,
but mostly because there was no opposi-
sition to excite the people to an active po-
litcal canvass

"That Military Appointments"

Under the above head we last week no.
ticed and commented upon the appointment
and fitness of Mr.. F. Hollenbeck as one of
the Military Committee for this Congression-
al District. The article was hastily written
and contained some statements which may
and in fact have been misunderstood. In the
first place the alluson to Mr.. H.'s sons was
modified in proof, but somehow or other our
typos forgot to follow copy" or rather
proof marks. Our remarks seems to have
conveyed the idea that there was no patriot
ism whatever in his sons, while in fact one
of them was in the three months service,
and another would have been had not
physical inability prevented. That Mr.. H.
is Union man in the sense of supporting
the Government in putting down this mon
ster rebellion, we have no reason to disbe-
lieve in fact we know he made several
speeches in favor of prosecuting the war,
and otherwise assisted in raising company
of volunteers. The office, to which it was
reported that Mr.. II. was appointed, is one
of prominence, and as public Office, we of
course had right to speak of the matter
as we saw fit. However, we did not wish
to convey the idea that he was a secession
ist. 1t is also due to Mr.. H. to state that,
when he stopped the Journal, he paid his
subscription in full and the Sl0,l9 stated
to be due from him, was for legal advertis-
ing ordered by his son, and with which
he said he was not acquainted. Being
ever desirous of doing justice to any party,
who claims that we have done them an in
jury, VIC of course take pleasure in making
this reparation.
One word more. Several parties have
visited us during the past week, and by
threats and bragadocio attempted to intimi-
date us in the matter of selections for our
columns. Now we have no disposition ia
be frightened by any such contemplate
staggering, for if these individuals really
wanted to fight they would go to war. We
shall "invade" no gentleman's premises for
the purpose of raising "muss," and we
shall endeavor to protect ourselves in every
instance, if ours is.
