this morning, that the Union men of Marion

Marion has set good example. Other

SAD APPAIR.-A poor man, living in the
southwestern portion of New York, who
earned his living by clearing wild land and
making slaves, had a little son iveye of
age, to whom he was devotedly attached,
and whom he used to take into the woods
with him;a short time since he took the
little fellow out with him, rs usual, to a
spot where he was to fell number of huge
oaks, to make slaves of, aud in the course
of the day, the child getting asleep unbe-
known To his father, the latter felled tree
across the spot where he was lying and
crushed him to Jelly. The hearth broken
man carried the mangled remains home in
his arms, and laying them on the little bed
of his SON, sat down beside them IN state
of stupor, from which it was impossible TO
arouse him, even after the lapse of several
days.

Tne pro,Idont and the paople.

No man stands higher in the affections
of the American people than President
Lincoln. Amidst all tue detraction and
criticism which have been visited upon his
councillors and agents, no word has been
uttered against the President himself. He
possesses the confidence of the American
people more thoroughly than any other
public man since the days of Andrew
Jackson. They feel thnt he is an honest
man, that he has the conscience of this
fight, and that lie labors with but n single
eye TO the glory, the greatness, and The
perpetuity of this Republic. Aud, after
all, honesty is the soul of public service
the source of thu pablic welfare-for with
purity at the head of the nation, the body
is healthy and happy.

An A.vful Thunderholt.

The Philadelphia Bullefis thus describes
thunderbolt lately witnessed in that VI
entity
II seems that the building was in full
sight of several persons when twas struck,
and all agree in declaring that a huge ball
of IRE, which some say was as large as q
barrel, left the clouds and descended in a
direct angular line to,the barn. The thun-
derbolt struck the apex of the roof, and
the flames appeared to run over and
through the building in an instant. A
man who had been sleeping in the barn,
aud who was awakened by the crashing OF
the thunder. declared that the FIRE poured
through the roof at the point where the
lightaiug struck, and that it descended to
tue ground in line with the course 1t
took in coming to the building from the
clouds. he says the fire descended in a
glittering spangled mass, which spread
through the building and wrapped it in
flames in an instant. The man only
escaped by flying from the building with
out a portion of his clothing. He de-
scFibes stro1g sulphurous smell which
pervNded the interior Of the structure at
The time.
There were four horses in the barn.
Their stalls were arranged upon both sides
OF the passage way. In this passage way
the bolt struck, between the horses. That
portion Of the structure did not take fire
on the instant, and several neighbors rush
ed in for the purpose of rescuing the
horses. They were all found lying upon
the ground. Three were motionless and
apparently dead, while the fourth was
kicking and struggling. An attempt was
made TO rescue the surviving horse, but
the flames came on so rapidly that it had
TO be left to its fate. 1t is believed that
three of the horses were killed instantly
BY the lightning.

TnE Dayton to.l Journal tells a good


The Dayton Co.) Journal tells a good
story of the vivacious secession Congress-

among men of his class, refusal to pay
for his drinks, or nm inclination to "scub''4

way OF it was this:

of his friends before the election last fall
he was too deep in in secession not to take
up with the kindred trick of reputation.
So he determined to repudiate the whisky
bill, and marching into Sol. Helchelaode's
grocery imperiously denied that he owed
the bill. Sol. insisted that it was right.
aud finally becoming somewhat irritated
by Walls mean attempt at repudi-
he was dirty scoundrel. There was
something so true, as we'll as pointed, in
Soils declaration, that Val. took fire.,
gritted his teeth, scoTled au awful scowl,
and called Sol. a scoundrel; whereupon

Some days ago we clipped a paragraph
from the Cincinnati ComniereiaII charging

ing deprecated currency. Al the time we
had heard of nothing Of the kind, and
gave the assertion an unqualified denial.
Our neighbor Of the Pres, we believe, did
the same. Yesterday we received n letter
from Clarksburg, from subscriber, who
takes as to task for denying the charge Of
the Commercial He says, "OW Quarter
Wastsr IN his place is paying of hGnds i"
W7esiiag money. HissO, and 4 can PrOrs

premium it commands, pocket that pre-
MUM, and pay or with the deprecated
currency thus obtained, it is low and
villainous manufacturing less. They
do not swindle the Government, but they
do swindle the men they pay, out or the 8
or 10 cents on every dollar of their hard
earned cash.
We do not know who the Quartermasttr
at Clarksburg is; neither do we know any
thing, further tha1ewe have stated, in ref
erenee to his guilt or innocence Of this
charge.
The charge should be investigated, and
we hope, for justice and deceney's sake,
It will be found to be mistake.
ADDITIONAL.
Since writing tile foregoing we find
letter in the Pittsburgh Gazette, which we
reproduce in another column, in which
occurs this passage in regard to this very
matter:
"The Quartermaster at this post is Leib,
Of Chieago. Most of the talk have heard
here in army matters consists in denuncia-
lions Of this gentleman, both loud and
deep. He cOmpels tue Transfers, carpen-
tiers, laboFers, and all, who must submit, to
take their pay in Virginia money, which,
even on the spot, he can buy at 10 per
cent. discount"
This, If true, is indeed Shameful and
the evidences of its truth are accumula-
ting. The Government pays its quarter
masters and all other officers salaries that
ought to relieve them the necessity Of
stealing the earnings of the poor soldiers
or teamsters. There is nothing that can
SO thoroughly, or will so certainly, demon
alike our army, as the system of petty
robbery, of which this appears to he a
sample.
Here lisa case that calls for investigation
by the proper authorities. If thisp party is
innocent, let justice be donei If guilty, let
justice none the less be meted out.

A mistaken idea prevails among musi-

a second fourth, the pay of a corporal OF

the remaining half, the pay of engineer

Precisely at half past 10 Lyon fell and a
bullet from the same vollcy hit Col. Mitch

short distance when Col. ". wis pierced
through the groin with bullet. The man
who fired upon him was shot with five bull
lets. Weakened by loss of blood the Col
onel retired to shade and dismounted
from his horse. AS lie was in the act of
lying down he Uncovered two mounted
Texans rushing towards him. The Colo
mel drew forth volcanic revolver and shot
one of the men in the pit of the stomach,
and the other was stunned with II blow
from his sword so that lie was compelled
to run. By most singular coincidence,

body of his antagonist, killed in the above
encounter, and caused it to be decently

The Government here Is obviously of the
opinion that war is meant by the Lincoln Ad-
ministration, and that 1t is useless 10 trust any
longer to the influence Of diplomacy. Il can
come 10 no other conclusion than thst a refu-

commissioner is a constructive declaration Of
war, and that Forts Sumter and Pickens, and
he forts at TeTtugss, are obstinatelv held for
the purpose Of making war.
It being understood that the above call
would be officially issued. the utmost zeal and
enthusiasm have already been manifested in
this community to render an efectual response.
