that this was the finest looking regiment

Astounding discovery in France.


The following sounds very much like the
stories of the Arabian Nights, or Sinbad
the Sailor, but as it comes from respecta-
bic source, We give it for what it is worth
1t has been great mystery to English
bankers, and to the Directors of the Bank
of England, how the bullion of the Bank
of France could be so greatly increased
within the last three years, while the insti-
tuition has been constantly sending gold to
England, to Germany, and 10 America
Not long since the Bank of France drew
some fifteen million francs in silver from
tho Bank of England, which it paid for in
gold bars with the French Mint Stamp on
them. At its last report it showed bal.
ance of one hundred and seventeen million
francs in gold, while the amount one year
ago was under eighty millions--nearly one
third increase. 1t is whispered that thi:
abundance of gold is the result of scientific
discovery, which the Emperor Napoleon has
secured the monopoly Of. Gold is at the
present moment manufactured in Paris in q
secret manner The principle articles used
are lead and arsenic; and, though it is moi
known how extensively the precious meta
is produced, several hundred weight of the
material are taken to certain place on the
first of each month. Everything is con
Quoted with the utmost secresy. None o
the workmen arc allowed to leave, and moth
ing definite can be known; but the fac
that gold is produced is beyond per.adven
ture. How long Napoleon III will be abb,
to keep this wonderful secret remains TO b,

The nrl.I.h Troop. In Canaaa.

Considerable discussion has arisen upon
tho recent reinforcemenls ofihe British mil
tary forces in Canada, the apprehension of
some being that they bad some connection
with the policy Of the homo government in
regard to the present condition Of affairs IN
the United States. Whether that view be
correct 10 any degree we have no means Of
knowing, but the following extract from an
article on the subject in the British Army
and Navy Gazette, indicates that other oh.
jects were had in view in sending additional
troops 10 Canada. That paper says;
"Few people acquainted with Canadian
affairs are not aware to what height politics
run among certain and very powerful sec.
tions of that mixed population; and with a
rabid war, in which much sympathy is felt
for one side or the other, close nj hand, it !:
utterly impossible to forcscc what combina
tions may he formed, or how events may
run in the chances and opportunities which
may suddenly and unexpectedly turn up

tingency that the Government determined

Of body Of thoroughly disciplined troops
around which her militia and volunteers
might rally; so that neither fllibusters from
without nor desperadoes from sOithin should
suddenly have chance Of subvcrtng order
and prosperity into anarchy and chaos"
Apropos Of this statement, Wilmer
European Times gives currency to the fol
lowing bit of startling gossip:
"a strange piece of information come
from Paris to the fleet that number 0
French Canadians have arrived thers t
claim the aid Of the Government in reliev
ing the Colony from its connection with thc
British Crown. The presence of Frencl
Canadians in Paris on the errand indicat
cd has excited no ordinary interest in quar-
ters little sensitive about such an event.
Another paragraph in the samo pape
says:
"a paris letter says a deputation iron

The scven,y-Second Regiment.


r. p. BUcKLAND, as Lieutenant Colonel
Of the 72d Regiment to be formed at this
place, has issued an appeal to the people
in this section of the State, which will be
found in the JOURNAL to-day. We hope
this appeal will be earnestly needed by the
loyal and patriotic men of Sandusky county.
How the impulses of the souls of the sons of
New England throb and fire with truo he
roism, at the mention of Lexington and
Bunker Hill? What have not the descen-
dent Of the Pilgrim Fathers dono in this
dark hour that their names may be inscrib-
ed beside the Liberty-devoted sires who
kept watch and guard when Freedom was
first cradled on blood-stained fields? Men
of Northern Ohio have you not the same
incentives to deeds of noble daring? Who
of you has forgotten the noble CRoGHAN,
and his devoted band of brave Kentuckians,
who defended Fort Stephenson on the I'd
of August 1918! To the gallant men Of
Kentucky we owe lasting debt of graft
tude. In our infancy and weakness they
fought our battles, and drove from our sol
the naughty Briton and the merciless say.
age. They gave us peace and with Gods
blessing prosperity and happiness has exalt
ed us, our name and fame is known through
out the world.
Now are we called upon to show how VIC
appreciate the gratitude of our sister State
Kentucky. Her soil is invaded by traitors
Her loyal men arc shot down or forced to
fee their homes for safety. Kentucky calls
upon us for succor. Her hour of peril is at
hand. Shall she call in vainl Shall hel
appeal be unheeded by those who tread
Fort Stephenson's halloved ground! Base
ingratitude will be written against us if VIC
come not boldly and Ar-oNcE to her deliv
erance. Already the mon of Fremont are
standing side by side with their Kentucky
brothers. The 4oth Regiment, in which il
Capt. Bartlett's Company was the first Ohio
command TO enter that State. But they
need and call for more support.
A few weeks since in receiving the Flag
from the Ladies of Fremont, presented tc
the Home Guards, Hon. R. p. BUcKLANr
told them that they would protect it and i
need be, ,Oould peril their lives in IT'S de-
fense. Right well has he kept his word
He lays aside his business, and has. accept
ed commission to raise regiment of men
He has entered on the duty. Camp Crog
han will be established on the Fair GrounC
in this village, and the recruits prepared fo
active service. Men of Sandusky county
the call is unto you. Will you not respond
to itl This regiment should be filed u
in less than thirty days. Laurels of victory
are awaiting the gallant soldier. Who vii
wear them, come now and achieve them.
