The Cause.-The Eour--The Men!

The Cause.-The Eour--The Men!
Rally, boys, to the standard Of your
county! Mcssrs Horton, Hatch, and
McKain, as will be seen by their pos
ers, are raising company Of volun-
teers for the war. Whatever other eff
forts to raise companies in Pomeroy
have failed, and from whatever causes,
this effort will not fail.
Young men of Meigs County, your
country needs your services! That
country has never been ungratefui to
those who have upborne her banners,
and she will not be now! Duty, honor,
and interest alike, speak to your inmost
sentiments of loyalty and valor
Young men, you are juststepping upon
the active theater of life. But what is
life worth witsut country? You are
aboutsto enter upon the various callings
to which you have devoted your future
energies But what business can exist
or prosper without the assured suprem-
acy of the Government to protect it?
You are looking forward to the enjoy
ment of happy homes in the years to
come! But without the protection of
just laws, and the ii;aintenance Of con
stitutional rights, you can never have
homes!
Young men, your fathers have trans
mitted to you the priceless boon Of our
Free Institutions! In the schools they
established, you have been educated!-
In the churches they built, you have
worshiped! In the manufactures they
erected, you have found nployment!
In the stores and shops which they
founded, you have expected to build up
your fortunes! On the farm which their
toll stripped of the forests, you expected
to reap the golden harvests! Around
the bailot-box, which their devotion to
freedom made the center 6f sovereignty,
you have expected to gather, annually,
70 exercise the same ines unable rights
Of free men! From the history of the
past, you have fondly looked to the
promise ola still more glorious future
for yourselves, your anticipated homes,
your friends, your business, your sue
cess in life, the greatness and glory of
your country, which should forever
make it an honor and shield to stand
beneath the 'bahnet of beauty the
"Stars and Stripes which now bcckon
you to its rescue!
But all this, and more than the mind
can conceive, is now at stake! The
, bloody hand Of unholy treason has
raised the banner of rebellion in our
once happy land! The maddened de-
voices of an unhailowed ambition have
inarshalled their fanatic legions in dread
array against yatir country and all
that is dear to free men! The hopes of
the world are the stakes of the game.-
"Fictory or death, - is no longer senti-
ment, but an impending alternative!- =
Which shall il be? For submission to
traitors Never! Never! Ncvcr!!!

This warfare is similar to the Indian
mode-the Rebels shooting our men
from behind trees and rocks. There has
been a great many Union men killed
about hcft.
There were 200 Union men shut up
III the Court House for five days. The
Rebels fired on tn I'm from all sides, com
plctely riddling the windows with bull
lets. One Union man was killed, and
about 30 ''Scccsh." The Union man
was killed while ir the cupalo, and fell
to the ceiling, bursting through the lath.
His blood can be seen yet on the ceiling.
There was preaching there yesterday.

And wonderingly she went to tell her friends
that she must leave them.
Mr. and Mrs. Bel ord of course, made no
objection to her going, though they expressed
their sincere regrets that they could not keep
her longer but Ada and Alice, too young to
understand it, were loud in their lamentations,
and besought her, with many tears, not to 60.
To Estelle she succeeded in explaining it all,
who, though she could hardly restrain her own
tears, endeavored to pacify her sisters. Bot
Ada wouH not hear her, and running down
stairs, she began to entreal Gerald to go away
without her dear Miss Eulie Failing to per-
suadc him to 60, she came back saying,
Don't 60 with him, Miss Eulie doat go

Chinese Silk-Worm.
BE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT. !

A SUBSTITUTE FOR COTToN AMONG EUROPE
ANs.--In the year lS4S, the English Consul at
Shangha sent home 10 the Horticultural Soci-
ETY. numerous samples ST cocoons as we'll as of
the raw and manufactured silk from kind Of
skworm living in the open air, subsisting on
a hardy plant, the aliante, or Japan varnish
tree, and producing two crops year of strong
silk fibre, employed for centuries in China to
make clothes for the great mass of the popula-
ton. Numerous papa worms IN their third
state of existanco) accompanied the samples OF
silk, OF which, unfortunately, all we're dead
when they arrived in England, but the sam
pies were kept till the great Exhibition of 1851.
when the box containing them suddenly dissap.
peared, and was never recovered. In March,
1850, NJ. Guern Meneville addressed a note to
the French Emperor, requesting him to provide
tho means of making experiments on a large
scale for the rearing of these Chinese sk-worms
The request was immediately granted, and the
experimenter went to work. The result of his
first years trial have recently been published,
which are very astonishing. OF the new silk
worms, more than three iourths have produced
excellent cocoons, though the condition of the
atmosphere at Toulon and vicinity where they
were reared, las Jeen most unfayorable, From
the experiments made it is affirmed that they
will give profit of 100 per cent and often
much more, whereas the Mulberry or common
silk.worm is esteemed as yielding handsome
profit when it makes return of 10 per cent
on the capital employed. From this latter
the new silk-worm differs very essentiay-be-
ing of an inferior quality and more adapted
for course fabrics. The Japan varnish tree,
on which it feeds, corresponds to the alianthus,
one Of the hardest and commonest of Ameri.
can trees, aud which Crews on the most barran
soils. The cocoons may be prepared by the
peaslntry themselves, whereas the ordinary
silk requires much skill and care in dressing it,
NJ. Guerin Meneville is now studying the best
means OF prompting the production and manu-
facture of this silk worm, which contends will
soon take the place of cotton and supply the
chief clothing of the people The present as
pect of affairs in this country imparts additional
interest to this subjects in Europe, and the
facts that France alone annually imports l62,.
900 900 pounds OF cotton from this country
renders it one of vast importance.

retire to their villages on the mountain by
night. They rrigate their lands by means of
the small streams running out of the sides of
the mountain, Sometimes, when it tails to
snow on the mountains, in the winter, their
crops are bad For this reason they always
keep two or three years provisions laid up, for
fear of famine. Altogether, they are most
extraordinary people, far in advance of any
other aborigines yet discovered on this CONT

WHATS IN NAME The wife of dry goods
iobler one day thought to asonish her husband
by her exqusit3 taste in selecting dress. APP
pcaring at the breakfast table in new wrapper
she exclaimed " Don't you think this a beau
ty, and only two shilings yard-French ~
French ~ exclaimed the husband 81 that is
an American print, which I'm selling every day
at 9 IL cts ~
somewhat similar scene transpired at the
St. Nicholas a couple Of ladies appeared at
breakfast with what they supposed to be beau
tiful French wrappers. A mutual acquaintance
in conversation remarked that he was astonish-
ed at the improvement made in American prints
OF late years, enforcing his remarks by calling
the attention OF the two ladies to the quality of
their dresses "0h these are French y they
exclaimed. " | assure you, Mesdames," said
the imperurbable gentleman, " that your dres-
ses are Manchester prints!' The ladies did not
iaint-but their French prints passed into the
hands of the ctambermaid
