Beat It if You Can.
RACINE, Oct. 1st, 1876


Editor of the TslegrapA:-We have
seen several paragraphs going the rounds
of newspaperdom, boasting of the pro-
portion of the population sent from GER
tain localities, to the war. The largest
sent from any one place, if we remem :
Der, was frem Jefferson town, Ashtabula
Co., o., and was about on. .fonrth of its
voting Inhabitants. But Meigs County
can beat that. The Racine school dis
trict, in Sutton Township, with ono ham,
dred and eight voters, has sent out forty
one volunteers, or more than one third
Of its votiag population, who are now
in the army. Set that down, if you
please, and give general challenge to
the United States, cor any other man, y
to beat it.
We would also state, that D. S. Ell
LOTT, who lives just below Racine, on
the Virginia side, (Mason County, aeith
has three sous, is in the 4th Va. Regiment
The father is Drum Major of the Reg
iment, and all the boys are Drummers
We count that pretty good representa-
tion for one family with only four male
persons in it. E. A. NJ.

last we heard of it, was not full. Here
is chance for those wishing to serve
the country. There are still many men
in this County who ought to volunteer

1@A very interesting article headed,
'negroes as spies, will be found in an
other column. It is copied from the
N. Y. Post, the ablest paper in that
city, and one not liable to the charge
of s'radicalism. It is certainly worth
rejecting upon. If we are ever to have
peace again in this country, it may as
we'll be understood at once, that the
cause of all our trouble must be removed
and so far removed from our ndtioha5
politics as to cease its disturbing in
huences. Without this, it is utterly in
vain to hope for peace. While it is
left possible for mere sectional class in
terest, in which not one in a hundred
of the people have any interest, to con-
troll the country: the effort to so control
it will be repeated. Confne the rule
of the "Cotton Lords in future to their
negroes, and the interests of white men
may receive the attention of the Gov
ernment, and peace and prosperity re-
turn =

@The food, the first of this week
must have done immense mischief, as
the River here was covered with raft
of drift, including the wrecks of build-
ings, and the sweepings of farms, for
several days. We learn that both the
Kanawhas were higher than ever be-
fore known, and that the destruction of
property along their course was beyond
all example. This is truly unfortunate.
Western Virginia has suffered greatly
by the rebellion, and now to be visited
by this great calamity, is truly distress
ing.

The 'Ersct Society.

Our ncighbor CAsKEy has high opinion Of the
healing efficacy OF the Abolition Tracts circulated
by the American Tract Society. Tie Rsp"Jtcan
Of last week says;
1--WE cannot voucll for the influence these tracts
have had upon the army but IL is not improbable
that it is to their efficacy that the country is in
dcbtcd for the conversion OF such political slime )
as Benz +. Butler, John Cochrane and the Sec.
rctary War"
From tile aborc We infer that they are equal to
Brandeth's Pill or Hobensacks Worm Syrup. A
heavy dose of these Tracts caused neighbor Cas-.
KEY to make tracks from the Presbyterian Churcl
Immediately after our worthy Pastor voted the
Democratic ticket. "I'hcm Tracts is a powerful
thing" Old ions Blows should have had them
GoRDoS should have had tliom. FnEMoyr shoul
have had them, and, Cameron should have ha,
them before On ABE' compelled him to modir
his Abolition Report.

seeing statesman, he must be aware That MS
proposed scheme of colonization cannot be
carried out in the face OF the opposition II
will meet from the Abolition adhcrcnts OF his
party, and that their plan of general eman-
cipation, which he seems to favor, VIII fill
the present free states with swarms Of
negroes whom the Aboitionists, whenever
they have or can gain the power, will place
on political equality with white men, and
bring their labor into direct competition with
that of FREQ white men, aud even give it a
prcfcrcccc. Would it not have been well il
the President, while he was warning free
laborcrs against the approach OF d"spotism
in another form, had warned them also
against its approach in the shape oi this deg.
