MiIitary.

The County Military Meeting on last
Saturday was very well attended, consid-
ering the unfavorablencss of the weather.
Col. MCook and Major Swayne were
both present, and made able and effective
speeches. Mr.. Sampson, of Stock town
ship, one of the volunteers in Lieuten-
ants Urquhart's and Timmons company,
presided, and opened the meeting with a
few well timed remarks. Several new
recruits were added to the number on
that day, The company at the present
time Monday morning) contains about
20 men. and we have faith to believe that
it will be full against Thursday morning,
the time that the company leaves for the
camp at Mt. Vernon.
Thomas Lee Canadian, Sergeant i'll
Capt. Cunningham company in the 30th
Regiment Ohio Volunteers, has been ap-
pointed First Lieutenant in Capt. Cas-
tells company in the 18th Regiment, in
place of Lieut.. Conwell resigned. We
also learn that a Mr.. Murdock has been
appointed a Second Lieutenant in capt
Castcll's company in place of Lieut.
Timmons resigned. We have no knowl
edre of or acquaintance whatever witt
Mr.. Murdock.
We had a call from our old friend, Ma
ior Bartleson, of the S0th Regiment, nov
in camp at camp Meigs, on last Saturday
The Major looks well, and feels well, and
has no doubt of the early and complete
organization of his regiment. Their
are already some 400 men in camp, anc
they are coming in rapidly every day
Old Tuscarawas is doing her full duty il
this great emergency.
We also had a call on the same da,
from capt. Wallar, of the 18th Regiment
now forming at GAINESVILLE. The captain
is an old Harrison county boy; havin;
went from this place to the Mexican war
where we first became acquainted witt
him. His object is to get our peopl
more fully aroused in sustaining the Gov
ernment--not in signing unconstitutiona
abolition petitions, but in signing tn
muster rolls of the country and helping t
defend the Government against all kind
of fanaticism.

attack. Our failure to sink any of the
of the vessels which passed our batter
les is owing to the poor practice ofour
artilleriSts.
The enemy's ships which passed our
batteries can be distinctly seen from
Beaufort. Forts Walker and Beanre-
gard are still firing. The enemy has
lost one gun boat, which was burned.
Shells could be seen from here bursting
in the woods.
Our lines of communication are COM
pletely cut off, unless more troops are
sent here, with artillery and cavalry.
Four ships are now in sight over the
land and up as far as Skull Greek.
There is reason to believe the enemy
are now preparing to land large force
at Hilton's Head, either to night or
to morrow morning.

squadron had been almost entirely dispersed bv

besides strong laCd forces, which the rebels
were concentrating at Charleston and Savan-
nah. 1t was deemed proper TO first reduce the
fort on Hilton Head, though to do this a great
or less fire might have to be met from the bat
teres on Bay Point. At the same time our
original plan of cooperation Of the land forces
in this attack had TO be set aside in Consequence
aof the loss during the voyage of The great por-
ton OF our means of Decentralization together
with the fact that the only point where tho
troops could have landed was five or six miles
from the anchoring place Of our transports, al
together too great distance for successful de-
barkation with our limited means 1t was
therefore agreed that the place should be rsda-
esd by our naval force alone. ..., .y.lsy
was mere spectator Of the combat, and it
is not my province to render any report ofths
action. deem it an imperative duty to say
that the firing and maneuvering of our feet
against that OF the rebels and their formidable
land batteries was a masterpiece Of activity and
prof ssoRal skill.
| After the works were reduced took possess
sion Of them with the land iorces. The work
on Hilton Head was severely crippled, and
many OF the guns dismounted. Much slaugh-
ter had evidently been made there, many bod
les having been buried in the fort, and some
twenty or thirty found some half mile distant.
After landing and taking possession of the
forts Gen. Sherman issued q proclamation to
the people OF South Carolina, saying: "In obe-
dience to the orders OF the President have
landed on your shores with small force OF Ma
tional troops. We come among you without
feelings OF personal animosity We have no
desire to harm your citizens, destroy Your prop
erty, or interfere with any Of your lawful laws,
rights, Or social or legal institutions, beyond
what causes herein alluded to may render una
vOidable."
General Sherman then reviews the action Of
South Carolina in the present rebellion. and
implores tbs people to pause and reflect upon
the consequences Of their acts, and says we
have come among you as loyal men, fully i'm
pressed with our constitutional obligations tc
the citizens Of your State. These obligations
shall be performed as far as in our power; but
be not deceived, the obligation Of suppressing
armed combinations against constitutional au.
thorites is paramount to all others.
If IN the per ormance OF this duty, minor
but important obligations should be neglected,
: 1t must be attributed to the necessities OF the
: case, because the rights dependent on laws OF q
> State must necessarily succumb to military sx-
igencies created by insurrection and rebellion

The abolitionists of this vicinity are
getting up petition to congress, asking
that body to abolish slavery because it is
the cause of the rebellion. This reminds
US of the thief who thought stealing could
in no way be stopped SO effectually as by

Under the Balls.

Who has not seen the church under the
bell Those lofty aisles, those twilight
cchapels, that cumbersome pulpit with its
huge carvings, that wide gray pavement
fecked with various light from the ieweIled
windows, those famous pictures between the
voluminous columns over the altars which
twinkle with their ornaments, their votive
little silver hearts, legs, limbs, their little
guttering tapers, cups of sham roses, and
what not? L saw two regiments of little
scholars creeping in and forming square.
each In its appointed place, under the vast
roof; and teachers presently coming TO them.
A stream Of light from the jewelled windows
beams slanting down upon each little squad
of children, and the tall background of the
church retires into grayer gloom. Patter-
ing little feet of laggards arriving echo
through the great nave. They trot in and
JOIN their regiments, aathsnod usder tho
slantlng sunbeams. What are they learn
ing? Is it truth? Those two gray ladies
with their books in their hands in the midst
OF these little people have no doubt of the
truth OF every word they have printed under
their eyes: Look, through the windows
jewelled all over with saints, the light comes
streaming down from the sky, and heavens
own illuminations paint the book A sweet
touching picture indeed it is, that of the
little children assembled in this immense
temple, which has endured for ages, and
grave. teachers bending over them. Yes,
the picture is very pretty of the children and
their teachers, and their book-but the text?
Is it the truth, the only truth, nothing but
the truth? If l thought so, I would 60 and

the precious lesson with all my heart
