The $4,000 men from California, TO

Nine companies of infantry have already
reported to Gen. Sumner, and the 500 cav

Terrible Battle at Cross Lanes.

GALLIPoLIs, o., Aug. 2S.-The battle
at Cross Lanes, near Summerville on the
26th inst, proved to be bloody affair."
The following are all the particulars we
have learned. The 7th Ohio Regiment,
Col. Tyler, was surrounded while at break
fast, and attacked on both flanks and in
front simultaneously. Our men immed-
lately formed for battle and fought bravely,
while they saw but little chance of success,
the enemy being too powerful. Col. Ty-
Ter sent forward to the baggage train, which
was coming up three miles distant, and
had it turned back towards Gauly, which
point it reached in safety. Companies B,
c and suffered most severely. They par
ticularly were in the hottest of the fight,
and stood up to it bravoly, and finely
fought their way through against fearful
odds, making dreadful slaughter in the en-
emy's ranks.
The rebel force consisted Of 5000 infant
ry, 400 cavalry, and 10 guns. The Fed
eral forces scattered after they had cut
their way through, but soon formed again
and fred, but received no reply or pursuit
from the enemy. Our loss cannot be def.
nitely ascertained, though not over two
hundred are missing out of the nine humid
red engaged.
The rebel loss is fearful.
Lieutenant Colonel Creighton captured
the enemy's coIors and two prisoners.
The following is a list of officers known
to be killed:
Capt. Dyer, Co. D, Painesville; Capt
Shurtlif, Co. c. Oberin; Capt. Sterling
(uot James,) Co. I; Adjutant L. De For,
est, Cleveland; Lieut.. Cbas. Warrent, and
Sergeant-Major King, Warren, o. The
other Field Officers are all safe.

THE TAX ON LAND AND ON CAPITAL
The share which Ohio has to pay of the di-
rect tax of twenty millions is just II mills
to the dollar of her land valuation. That
is, for every thousand dollars worth of real
estate, tho tax is 80. 1t is actually even
less than this; because homestead valua-
tion to the amount of $500, is exempted
from taxation entirely. Now this is the
whole direct tax that the farmer of Ohio
has to pay. His land being taxed, he has
no further tax to pay on the income he de-
riyes from it. How many farmers in Ohio,
think you, reader, will it brake to pay a
dollar and half year on each thousand
dollars worth of their propertyG Now look
at the other side. The capitalist of New
England, be he merchant, manufacturer oI
banker, has TO pay three dollars on every
hundred dollars of income above $780,
If he makes only six per cent. on his capi'
tai, this is 81, 80 on every thousand dollar;
worth he owns. But AS six per cent. is two
or three times less than the trading classes
actually calculate to make on their capital
the actual tax paid by them, if honestly
levied and paid, will be two or three times
as much, or say $3.50 on each thousand
dollars of capital. Besides this, the profes
sional man, who has no capital, pays three
per cent. upon all that he receives over $500
per annum, while the well-to-do farmer, lei
him make ever SO much on his crops, pay:
only the one and half mills per dollar on
the valuation Of his farm. The truth is
that although no system of taxation what
ever is free from inequalities, this direct
aud income tax distributes the burden, as
between the agricultural and other classes
of citizens, with far moro and impartial
hand than the covert enemies of the Gov
eminent ale willing to have appear Gin

We are often asked whether Congress passed
the resolution approving the acts of the Presi-
dent in regard to the war. In bill No SO, enti-
tied "An act to increase the pay of privates in
the regular army, and of the volunteers in the
service of the United States, and for other Plr-
poses" which passed both Houses Of Congress,
we find that the acts of the President were ap-
proved in the following words'
"sEo. And be Il further enacted That all the acts,
and orders OF the President Of the United
States after the 4th Of March, 1891 respecting the army

THE CONVENTION TO-mORROw.

The numerously signed call which has before
been published in our paper, is again printed
with additional names This call is signed by
the prominent working Democrats of the coun-
~ and by the leading Republicans. Any man
who is acquainted with the political partisans of
this county will on looking through the list see
not the eleventh hour but the full-time lahorers
on the muster-roll They have subscribed to a
platform--read it--"No compromise Nth traitors
Me Union and tie Constitution must and shall Be
"preserUcd; and by that platform they will
stand, putting "aside, for the time being theii
foalty to party" and party attachments. What
clearer defined or more patriotic platform can a
true patriot suggest.
These men, with we believe hundreds whose
names have not been subscribed, viii meet al
the Court House in this village, tomorrow, (Sat-
urday) in Mass Convention, at o o'clock for the
purpose of nominating Union-not partisan
candidates for the following offices:
One Representative to the State Legislature
One County Auditor.
One County Treasurer.
One Sheriff.
One County Commissioner.
One Prosecuting Attorney.
One County Recorder.
One County Surveyor.
One Coroner; and
One Infirmary Director
They will also appoint Delegates to the UnioI
State, Senatorial and Judicial Conventions.
We hope every true Union man in Sandusk,
county, without regard to his former polite:
who can and will stand and vote by this plat
form, who can leave his business will do so ant
come up to this Convention. Come in you
strength, and give force and effect to your la
labors. Let the untimely partisans in our mids
see and feel that the hands and votes of true I'm
ion men can reach and overthrow their traitor
Gus platform and the secession abettors VIII
stand upon it.

world is made in the Confederate States-is about
forty thousand bales, raised the coasts of South

liberal calculation to allow half OF this to South
Carolina, and still more liberal one to state one
third Of this amount likely to fall into the hands
Of the snemy--one fourth or Eve thousand bales
would be found to far exceed the fact. This at
