4. L.. Harris.

The Coshocton Age, the Republican
paper Of Coshocton county says:
"The editor of the Holmes County Farmer was
nearly as virulent against the Union as the Dem.
oerat, here, and a crowd took him out, made him
read his reasonable editorial, and then made him
take it all back and 60 for the Union"
In penning the above, HARRIS, the cd
itor of the Age, knew it to bea lie from
beginning to end. We never uttered, or
wrote, or had thought against the I'm
ion. We were not asked by crowd, or
an individual, to take anything back, -
We have never been assailed by any man
or any set of men; except through the
press by the filthy brute who superviscs
over the columns Of the Coshocton Age

The Virginia Convention has pas sed an
ordinance Of secession. 1t will be sub
mitted to the people to pass upon on the
23rd of May, the day Of their annual state
election. If the good people Of that an
cient and renowned Commonwealth were
70 reject it, and still hold the land OF
WAsHINGToN, JEFFERSON and MADISON in
the Union, they would do deed surpass-
ing all tteir former deeds of greatness.
Such action on the part Of Virginia would
have a most happy influence on the al.
fairs o. the Nation.

The Dem Ocri,ls.

1t Is said that three fourths Of the Ohio
volunteers are Democrats. The Demo.
Gratis were in favor of compromise---oi
any kind Of compromise that would pre-
vent. civil war, The Republicans, like
the Seeessionists, rejected all compromise,
BY the mad folly Of these two extremes
the country has been plunged into war;
compromise now seems out Of the ques-
tion. aud the Democrats come mp prompt.
ly to 6ght for the country.

These terms had their origin in France.
Marquo literally means marsh or swamp,
and was the place on the border where
frcebootcrs hid their plunder, and leave
was given by the robbed monarchy to any
who were daring enough to pass over the
border into the marsh and make reprisals
thus leave to enter the territory of an en-
emy and tako prizes was denominated

Destruction OF the Norfolk Navy
Nnrg1.

We have now positive intelligence with
regard to the destruction of the Norfolk
Navy Yard, 1t was set on fire Sunday
morning, April 2lS,, by the Government
forces stationed there, to prevent it fall
ing into the hands of the secessionists.
All the most valuable property there was
destroyed. including the line of battle ship
Pennsylvania, the screw irigate Merrimac,
sloop-oi'war Germantown, brigs Plvm.
outh and Dolphin, frigates Columbia, Po-
tomac aud Delaware, the line-of. battle
ship New York, on the stocks, and other
vessels of less value, together with the
arms, munitions and stores, shiphouseS
and Storchouses, On a preconcerted sig
nal being given, the whole was set ON fire
simultaneously, and so rapid was the des-
truetion that Com. Rogers, of the Navy,
and Capt, Wright of the Engineers, were
unable to reach the point OF iandezvons
for embarkation, and were necessarily left
behind. 1t is estimated that the whole
amount OF property destroyed at this one
port alone by order of the Government
at Washington, is not far from forty mil.
lions Of dollars. 1t strikes us that this
was an unnecessary waste Of the peoples
treasure.

The Herald's correspondent has it from high
authority that Letcher has notified Lincoln that
no Virginia troops will be permitted to march up
on Washington. Their purpose is to defend the
soil of Virginia from aggress;ons by the North

troops to attack Washington. He has issued a
proclamation saying that in consequence of the
great number of troops coming to Richmond with
out notice, and before their services are required
he prohibits more from doing SO, but to remain at

HEALTH or THE TRooPs.ZPrivate letters
from Washington say that the heat for the
past week has been intense, but our troops
endure it remarkably well. There is a sur
prising absence of sickness. So far, the
army has been wonderfully favored in this
respect. August and September are The
months for epidemics, but there are no in
dications yet OF a sickly autumn, and the
utmost precantion will be taken TO prevent
the spread OF epidemical disease among the
troops. There has heen great improve
ment in the camps in that respect within
fortnight. The advice of the Sanitary
Commission viii be closely followed. -
