Fourth of July.

az Are we to celebrate the Fourth o
July in Independence Have we
ceased to regard the day with veneration
or has our town lost all of its life anC
vitality Have We sunk into apathy
from want of regard for the principles o
the Declaration of Independence, or be
cause the spirit and vigor of our com
munity have departed ? Have the citi
zens of independence concluded that i
is better for their material prosperity
better for the growth and popularity o.
the place, to have it go abroad that the
wide awake, go-ahead, lively spirit which
formerly characterized the place, has de.
parted Are our merchants to profit by
driving the citizens of the county to 9th.
er places to celebrate these anniversa.
ries ? Are we to satisfy our own citi
zens, retain new corners and draw strang.
ers, by showing that we lack every ele,
ment Of public spirit which anmates
our neighbors. After enjoying the pleas,
ing reputation of a town of great enter
prise and vitality, are we now to have il
go forth that Independence is dead, OF
gone TO sleep?
What is the reason for this lack of in
terest on the part of the men Of means,
the property holders and business men
Of the place, in projects calculated to
confer ecldt upon the town, calculated to
make us known abroad as people full Of
vigor? A reputation for dizziness is not
calculated to draw or retain settlers, and
is therefore not calculated to conduce to
the material interest of property holders
1t is therefore matter of some moment
to them to aid all proper and necessary
propositions to save the town from this
reputation. Even in the light of inter
est we cannot, therefore, understand why
our business men should not encourage
more fully the proposal of celebrating
the Fourth. But when, as now, every
incentive of patriotism is added to that
of personal interest, the apathy displayed
is incomprehensible.
Never was there time when it seem
ed so necessary that the people should
come together, and renew their declara-
tons of lealty to the principles enunci-
ated on the Fourth of July, l176. Never
was there time when love OF those
principles SO required exhibition. New
er was there a time when every consid-
Grafton of patriotic duty required a JOY
full exhibition of our faith in the doctrines
of the fathers. Why not, then, come
together and solemnly pledge our devo-
ton to the constitution, and by bonfres,
illumnations, cannon and fire works give
voice TO our appreciation of the benefits
conferred on humanity by those who on
tic uay Vi "nIch tnat 10 lie ahnNeisaiy +,
promul gated the immortal doctrines OF
the Declaration.
On Wednesday evening it is proposed TO
hold another meeting to take the subject
into consideration, and it is to be hoped
that every citizen who has spark Of
patriotic feeling will be on hand to aid
by his presence and voice in the adop-
ton of plan Of celebration. Don't
permit this supineness, but demonstrate
that Independence, as heretofore, will
not be behind her sister towns in life on
this national anniversary.

Wind and Dust.

Ec- A high wind prevailed through
out Friday and Saturday. sending the
dust in clouds OF dense thickness along
our streets, into our houses, stores and
workshops, penetrating to every recess,
filling the eyes, noses and mouths of Pc
destrians. making it difficult to see or to
breath. Good sized gravel stones were
whirled about and came with singing
force against the persons of those who
ventured to brave passage on the street.
The leaves were stripped from the trees
in great quantities, and shrubbery and
vines, as well as vegetables, were good
deal injured. A more disagreeable time
could hardly be experienced.

The Union State Ticket.

The Ticket which we place at the head
o: "nr columns to-day is one which has
Oui nos. hearty support. We some months
ago, expressed our opinion of MIR. Tod,
and we are exceedingly gratifed to know
that the sentiments then expressed have
received such an endorsement as the NOM
~ination, BY reclamation, vithouta dissent
ing voice, BY the late State Convention
Mr.. Tod deserved such o nomination; be
was the first leading Democrat in Ohio to
shake of party trsmmels and give his time
his energies. his money, and even held not
back his own son. when the country call
ed.
He is too we'll known in this vicinity to
need any history of his public or private
life. or description of his person at our
hands. Suffice it to say he has all the
qualifications to fill we'll the position he
is soon to occupy, and he will be elected
by the largest majority ever given to any
candidate for Governor in this, or any
other State in the Union.
OF the other candid ates the Cleveland
Herald says
Mr.. Stanton has long been known as
one of the strongest Republicans in Ohio,
devoted, heart, and soul to the maintain.
nee Of the Constitution and the Laws.
Mr.. Dorsey-like Mr.. Tod-is a prom
inent Democrat, but has never wavered in
his support of the war policy Of the Ad-
ministration since hostilities commenced by
the act of the South.
Judge Scott is a member of the Supreme
Court, as such well known and highly es-
teemed. He was elected before on the Re-
publican ticket.
Mr.. Riley is among the best business
men of Columbus, has a good name, and
will make an honest and faithful officer
He is a Democrat.
Mr.. Cowan comes from good stock, is
well known as the admirable Clerk of the
House, is now serving in the war and is
an upright, correct, intelligent and honest
business a He is a Republican.
Of Mr.. Terrence we know less than Of
the others, but he comes bearing the best
of reputation for capacity and integrity,
and was ardently supported by those who
knew him best. He was an American"
in politics.
Such is the ticket; strong in all its parts,
properly apportiOned between old parties,
yet nothing sacrificed to policy, nothing to
prejudice; every man fit for the place des-
ignated and every man will be assigned
such place By the people in a majority that
will be counted not by units but by tens
of thousands.

CAMP WADE, UNIVERSITY HIGHTs,
September 6, 1861.
Presuming that our many friends would
be pleased to hear from as, in regard to
our welfare since leaving our homes and
friends.
We, the undersigned, and in behalf Of
the entire Company, wish to say. that af-
ter we had taken our sad and aft ,ctionate
farewell from the loved ones at home, and
the vast multitude who gathered to see US
depart, we were attended by the Farming
ton Grays, in command Of Lieut.. Jas. G.
Kennedy, and the Southington Guards, IN
der Capt. E. Moore, as an escort to the
County Line. Soon after they left Us, We
were met by the Geauga Rangers, under
Capt. D. B. Hosmer, as an escort. At
Parkman village the public house of Mr..
White was thrown open, and catables and
drinkables in abundance scere free, and af-
ter a sOalstirring speech by the Rev. S.
P. Carlton, with the congratulations and
cheers of the citizens, we wended our way
to Troy, where the people had assembled
to greet US. We we're agreeahy disap-
pointed in finding a long table loaded with
the good things which only the ladies know
how to provide. After several patriotic
songs, and parting with the Rangers, with
the exception of Lieuts. Tilden and Bates
and Sergeant Pope, we proceeded. The
next important feature was at Pope's Cor
ners, where Esquire Pope had a table
spread with an abundance Of good things.
After we had partaken of his hospitality,
we went our way, and it was one c%ontinu-
ed ovation all the way through, baskets of
apples, pies, cake and cheese, waving of
handkerchiefs and smiles of The ladies, we
arrived at Chagrin Falls about sunset, es-
corted by the fine corps of Home Guards,
and Notwithstanding they had but three
hours notice, the people were out en- naGsse,
and seemed to vie with each other in min
istering to our comfort Great abundance
was provided for all. Next morning the
military escorted us out of town, and after
exchanging hearty huzzas we proceeded on
our way. We wish to make no invidious
distractions between our friends who SO
kindly administered to our comfort, but
we cannot avoid expressing our special
thanks to Messrs. Tilden, Bates, and Pope,
spoken of above, who remained with US
until We left Chagrin Falls, laboring with
untiring zeal for our comfort and conven-
fence. At Warrensville and other places
we received the same kind treatment, par
.ticularly by the ladies, (God bless theml)
We arrived at Camp Wade about two
P. II. Wednesday. and were mus
tered into the service of our country as s
full company, and some to spare. The
company organized by electing James Cald-
well, Captain, James D. Kennedy, LIST
Lieutenant, and A. MCGOWAN, I'd Lieuten-
ant, leach having a unanimous vote,) by
reclamation. We are now settled down to
camp life; all well. with slight ex-
and delighted with our location
and companions. We subscribe ourselves,
respectfully.

The Three Union Conventions.

Three Union Conventions, In the action

magnitude of the great issue before the

Calls for Union Conventions.
sENAToRIAL CONVENTION.

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
We, the undersigned. citizens Of Trum-
bull and Mahoning Counties, deeply SEN
sible of the importance Of a united action
on the part of all true patriots in maintain
ing the Union. the Constitution and the
Laws, and believing as We do, that party
organizations should always be subservi-
ent to the true interests of the country,
and that the present is a crisis in the his
tory Of our nation demanding the best en-
orgies of all loyal citizens TO put down this
wicked and unjust rebellion now waged to
overthrow the government under which we
have 50 long ~prospered, and that our faith
ers taught US to reverence, respect and
maintain
Therefore, We unite in a call for a Peo-
pies Union Senatorial Convention of the
counties Of Trumbull and Mahoning, with
out distinction of party, to be held at Niles
town on Tuesday. Sept. 18th inst, to put
in nomination a candidate for Senator to
be supported by the people of said coun-
ties at the coming election in October.
That the ratio Of representation in said
Convention shall be one delegate for every
100 votes cast for the Supreme Judge at
the last annual election, and one for every
fraction Of SO votes and upwards.
For the election of said delegates we
would recommend that the voters of each
township who are willing to unite upon
the principles embodied in this call, meet
at the usual place Of holding elections in
their respective townships on Saturday
eEenins, Sept l4th, at 6 O'Clock, and make
choice of the delegate or delegates they are
entitled to.

lery actually engaged in the fight. They
came up in perfect order; by columns in
front, and by sections IN the flank; and
notwithstanding the fact that our boys
were entirely surrounded, and that they
were fired upon from all directions, only
fifteen Of them were killed, and about 80
wounded. according to the account given
by the rebels themselves; they set down
their killed at so. They invariably fred
too high. The grape. from the riaed can
non. went over the boys heads, and cut the
branches from the trees. Capt Dyer. of
gainesville. was killed, and Capt. shurt-
lift Of Oberlin, was taken prisoner. All
the other officers escaped. They captured
one ambulance, one wagon containing pork,
two wagons loaded with hard bread, and
one old secession wagon with two tents.
This with q few arms is our loss. Co. A,
captured a fine flag, and brought it into
the camp, and also brought in the flag
bearer prisoner. The rebels say that the
7th regiment fought like tigers.
The results growing out of this battle
will more than compensate for our loss.
We have ascertained the numbers of their
forces, as well as the disposition to be
made of them. We have also ascertained
the names of their commanders, while We
have been laboring under the mistaken
idea that both Floyd and Lee were in
Richmond, they have been within one
days march of our lines, maturing their
plans for an attack. The 9TH regiment
has suffered a severe trial, but it is not
without its good results. The people st
home, need not be ashamed of the regiment.
The rebels say of them that they fought
with bravery that approaches desperation.
They saw no hope of success, but yet they
fought on, while the bullets were striking
all around them, thick and fast. Co. H,
was not behind the rest in bravery. They
were ordered to reserve their fire, so as to
cover the retreat of the other companies.
This order they Obeyed strictly. They
stood in perfect line, for aperiOd of a quar-
ter of an hour, and all that time the bull
lets were whistling around them. When
ordered to retreat. they did it in perfect
order. Col. Tyler said to me that Co. H,
won golden %laurels, though they never
fred a shot. He was with them till he
left the field. If our regiment ever has
another fight, 1 hope it will be a fair one.
There was only about 600 of our men en-
gagged in the fight.
At this place we have received many
papers from home. Some kind friend sent
me the MahOning Register, for which Ire
turn thanks.
l have much more to write, but will
wait till another time, as 1 have already
extended this letter beyond my proper lin
its.
Yours truly,
GEO. L. WOOD.
