SYRACUSE, o.. Nav %, 1861.


Ed. 7slegxapN:-We are happy to an
nounce that the citizens of our town
have succeeded in making a demorstra-
ton in behalf Of our country. Although
we do not, and have not, entertained
anything but strict Union sentiments
and principles, yet we have been, for
some unseen cause, rather slow To- act
on the all important Issue. However,
We think we are now fully aroused to a
sense of our danger, and our true duty;
and in correspondence with this feeling
eur hearty friend, Mr.. Isaac Carleton, a
few days since delivered on the ap-
pointed ground, "peeled hickory pol =
eighty five feet in length, and On satur
day last it was raised by our "Home
Guards after which beautiful flag
constructed through the libesality Of
Messrs. Parker, Blair and others-was
run up amid the cheers of the enthusi-
astic crowd.
: The people then retired to the shade
and listened to an address by Mr.. H. l..
Sibley, delivered in his usual interest
ing, instructive and patriotic manner.
The Syracuse "Home Guards, !" num-
Der about ninety, with prospects of in
crease, that will carry the number above
Il hundred.
The officers SO far elected arc:

Thc -esRon. Frankltn.o

This is a new side wheel steamer,
which has permanently come into the
Wheeling and Cincinnati trade. She is
entirely new, admirably furnished, and,
in addition, is thought will prove to be
a speedy craft. She is commanded by
Capt. Jack, an old and experienced
steamboatman. Col. Billy Battelle, with
whom our community is we'll acquainted
and in whom they have the utmost con-
fidence, is her obliging purser, assisted
by Mr.. Pearsel. She passes Pomeroy,
going up, on Monday mornings; going
down. on Thursday afternoons. The
Franhlixwiil be welcomed into the trade
in these times when Steamboats, are so
s.scarce.' K

Wewant money. We cannot continue
to publish the Telegraph without it
There is a large amount outstanding
We have not insisted upon payment, be-
cause tho times have been hard and we
had other resources from which to draw
These resources have failed, and we must
rely upon the income of the Office to pay
its expenses, OF contract debts, which we
do not choose to- do. The prostration of
business has diminished the amount of
job-work very materially. It has also
affected the income from advertisements.
We must look, for the present, to our
subscribers for the means necessary to
continue the paper. If every subscri
Der should pay promptly it would not
defray the expenses of publication
But, with the debts due the office, which
we trust will be attended to, we could
keep the Telegraph alive until a revival
of business shall place us in better po-
sition.
We earnestly hope, therefore, that all
who are indebted will make an effort to
pay up. 1t is exceedingly unpleasant
to make the call, but it is absolutely
necessary, and we shall not continue the
publication unless the call is liberally
responded to. We ask no charity, but
simply what isjustly our due. And we
will receive any kind of produce that
can be disposed of in the stores, or that
we can use. Please consider US in earn
est, and act accordingly. .-z

PLANT CORR.

To all our farmer friends We would
say phaticall y, plant coraf and then,
..pLANT MORE CORN" Don't let foot
of ground that can be cultivat d be idle
this year The spring is b edward, to
be sure. But corn may be planted un
til the middle Of June, with every pros
peet of success. AnI erery bashsl that
can be raised, ,cil! be 1cuntedt 1t will
bring a good price, too. You will be
doing your country and mankind SER
vice; and no more acceptable worship can
be rendered to God in the present state
of things, than to feed his Children
On the farmers Of this country is, laid
the duty of supplying the wants of the
armies now congregating, not only at
home, but abroad. 1t is pleasant to
know that to the farmers this duty will
be proftub2e one. You need not fear
for market! A half million of men,
called from the peaceful pursuits of in
dustry, will be in the tented field in our
own country during the year, and they
must be fed A million more in Europe
look to US for their supplies. The
roreign demand for breadstuffs promises
to be unexampled. Supply the demand!
1t will feed the hungry and fill your
purses at the same time
Plant corn, then, whoever has rod of
ground that can be so cultivated Don't
be alarmed! Whatever other interests
suffer agriculture must flourish.

HARVEST PROSPECTS.

In the last week we have passed
through the counties of Franklin, Mad
ison, Clark, Green, Clinton, Warren,
Clermont, Highland, Ross, jackson,
Vinton, Athens and Meigs. During the
whole route we paid especial attention
to the appearance of the wheat fields,
and it is no exasgeration to say that we
never saw so fine prospect for an
abundant crop. Everywhere the fields
were covered as with a carpet. No bleak
points, or low flats, bare from the effects
of frost: or the ravages of insects. But
over all the broad acres was an evenness
of growth and richness of luxuriant green
that we never before observed or
course the risks Of blight and frost, and
storm, and insect, has yet to be encoun-
tered. But at present the prospect is.
that the farmers of the State will reap
such harvest as has never before been
gathered in any past year.
We congratulate our farmer friends
upon the prospect before them, and give
it as our deliberate opinion, which they
are at liberty to remember against us if
it shall prove erroneous, that, notwith-
standing the connections, the war, the
stagnation Of trade and the failures
among commercial men, the coming year
will be one of unusual prosperity to the
farmers of the Free States. We have
not time to give the reasons for this
opinion at this time, but will do SO here
after. But of the realization Of the pre-
diction we have no doubt whatever.

Science Aiding in the Defense Of the
TIr,1n

The Government has made an arrange
ment to use the Calcium light at For
tress Monroe, and the apparatus will be
set up on the parapets in few days
This famous light possesses xtraordi-
nary Illuminating power. One of the
reaectors, which was once placed on tie
Latting Observatory in this city, cast a
distinct shadow at Tarrytown, thirty
miles distant. By the aid of this light
the garrison at Fortress Monroe will be
able to detect any vessels that may at
tempt to pass the fortress at night, and
give its artillery distinct object on
which to be effective, no matter how
great the surrounding darkhess.-N Y.

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

We regret to say that there are some
half dozen papers in this State, whose
editors are unable to conceal their sym
pathy with the traitors. who are in arms
against the Government, for the purpose
Of subverting the Constitution they arc
sworn to support. Unborn funkies,
they are incapable of a manly or pat
riotic emotion, and in utter servility,
would prefer to be the scorned menials
of nabob, yoked in mental, if not
physical bonds, with the cringing slave
that fawns the more he is fogged
The universal outburst of patriotism
awed these natural tories into something
like external decency, for time, but
the constraint was more than they could
bear To save themselves from popular
Indignation, thin pretense Of support
ing the Union was put on for time
But, as the pressure Of fear Cor their per-
sonal safety diminishes, the inherent
toryis,n Of their hearts is again cropping
out, and unless chased back to its lurk-
ing place will soon venture into open
treason
Nothing but fear of personal chastise-
ment can keep such creatures from overt
acts Of treason to their country 1t is
their nature, and perhaps they cannot do
otherwise But there is no reason why
Eaad dogs should be permitted to bite,
simply because it is their nature.

We publish in another column, an ad-
dress Of the Governors of Ohio, to the
volunteers, to which we would call the
special attention of all persons inter-
ested, and especially the companies now
stationed here. 1t may be a long time
before another opportunity will occur to
enter the service. Aud all those whose
tastes lead them to the choice of a SOL
dier s life. had better embrace the pres
,ent occasion. Why cannot Meies county
furnish her proportion Of the men
wanted? Read the proclamation and
then act. There will be no difficulty in
getting all the men wanted. The only
trouble will be in the disposition of the
surplus. But our companies, if they
offer their services, will stand as good a
chance as any others, and will probably
be accepted.

pOLE AND FLAG RAISING.


On Saturday last tall pole and beau
stiful flag were raised near Nye's Saw
mill, at the upper end Of Pomeroy.
The volunteers and Home Guards, to-
gether with large concourse Of citizens
assembled, and as the '.Banner of beauty
and glory gave it, ''stars and stripes
to the breeze, such cheers were giyon as
could only come from the deep fountain
of patriotism in the hearts of the multi
tude present.
A poetical address to the flag, was
deliytred by young Master Postle-
thwait, in style that showed the germs
of the future orator, and was cheered as
it deserved by the vast crowd.
The writer hereof was then called
upon and addressed the audience in such
terms as his abilities permitted, when
the crowd dispersed, with three cheers
for the '.Star Spangled banner,
--------------And long may it wave,
Ger the land of the free, and the home of the
brave"

More of Floytl's Rascality.
The New York E.rpress says:


A most important evidence of the mis-
conduct and treachery of the ExSecre-
tary of War, Mr.. Floyd, has recently
come to the notice of the State authori
ties in Albany. Within few days the
Governor has discovered that the models
and drawings of machine, owned and
patented by the: United States, for making
musket balls, and in use in the Water
Welt Arsenal, near Troy, were some time
SINCE handed over to an experienced
workman in Troy, to enable him to make
a similar machine on an order Of am in
dividual in New York. Upon inquiry
of Major Mordecai, he justified his own
conduct in the matter by saying that he
delivered the model and drawings upon
the order of the Secretary of War, Mr..
Floyd. Fhe mechanic was at once ar
rested and the machine seized. We are
happy to say that it has since been COM
pleted, and is now in the possession Of
the Government There are but TWO of
these machines in the United States, and
they are capable Of producing forty thou
sand musket balls each, every twenty
four hours. In the hands Of the Con-
federate Government, such prize would
have been invaluable.
B@-Andrew Jackson Uonnefson, the
adopted son, and heir of the hero Of
New Orleans, is out for Secession
What would the old patriot of the Her
mitage say to this, if living? There is
nothing in the man himself Of the least
importance, but bearing, as he does, the
name Of the great jackson, has brought
him occasionally into notice. That
simple fact, with the supFosition shat it
might affect the votes of some Of the old
jackson Democrats induced his nomi-
nation as Vice President on the Aneri-
can ticket with Fillmore in 1856.
