happy condition of our country and devote our
space and attention TO the preparation of our
people for the defence of their country and
their homes Under the time-honored banner
Of the Union, we will stand or fall, tor the lib

Personal.

The tongue OF malice has been wagging bu-
silly in this community during the last week
Hoary headed pusalanimty, joined hands with
the lily-livered cowaFdice OF overgrown brag-
CARTS, and the neghborhood, nay the whole
county, was flooded with malevolent, but ride
ulous and harmless faIsehoods concerning our po-
sitIon in regard to the war. 1t was reported
thar We were a Secessionist z -; that our Of
fee had been surrounded by mob; tba. we
were TO be hung that we were compelled TO
hoist the Stars and Stripes, Sc, sc. Now, it
is hardly necessary TO give formal conradic-
ton to this puerle gasconade of malicious,
frightened and excited opposition. But for the
benefit of those weak enough to be misIed by
such silly iabrlcatlonS, we would say,
/. It is lie that We are SecessIonist, and
the man who dares to say it, is a coward and
poltroon.
2. Our office was not mobbed, nor was there
any attempt to do so, and il is just as well for
all parties concerned, that there was not.
3. We have not been hanged as yet; if we
have. we must have been under the influence Of
chlorcforrn, whilst that pleasant operation was
going on.
4. We hoisted the flag of our country OF our
own free will, and its folds were unlurled above
our Office by the hands OF our friends, unpollu-
ted BY the touch Of those who are our enemies
for opipIon's sake.
