CAMP DFysIsoN, Nov. Gath, 1861.
DEAR PnEssi This is a gloomy Sabbath
day, and having nothing else to do, l have
concluded to pen you a few lines relative to
matters and things going on in camp. We
returned safely to Camp Dick Corwine from
our visit to Eaton, and were highly pleased
with our trip, and especially with the wei.
come reception given us by the good people
of Eaton and vicinity also with the citizens
of Seven-Mile, at which place we quartcred
both going and comipg, and partook of their
hospitality,
We got back to camp late the evening ac
ter we left Eaton, and found that our regi
ment had been ordered to Camp Dennison
the next day we came here and are fixed u
on a good site, The boys in our compa ny
are all IN good health, and the regiment orc
generally healthy. Last night we had the
first snow Of the season, about two inches in
depth, but it is melting away fast, and our
camp is getting considerably muddy. We
have no PREACHING in our camp to-day, ow.
ing to the inclemency of the weather; we
have a gentleman for our Chaplain who is
well liked by allthe regiment. There is now
in camp, besides ourselves, the 4th Regiment
ofCavalry, a Regiment of Flying Artillery, a
zouave Regiments and the 18th and SD
Regiments of Infantry, which makes quite
an army, using all kinds of arms. Other
regiments are coming soon among which is
McLcan's, a part of which is from old
Preble.
1t is likely thatin a few days we will be of
for Kentucky, to take a more active part in
supprcssing this rebellion. The boys arc
anxious to be off, and arc bound to report
themselves as being inferior to none in val.
or, Of all the thousands that have responded
to their country's call.
We are anxious to see a paper from home,
and you will confer a great favor on us by
sending the Press occasionally. A respect
able number Of us are Democrats, and OF
course have a preference. You may expect
to hear from us occasionally, as we have
time and opportunity
Yours with respect,

DIED, at ElDorado, o. Nov. ID. 1861,
Bro. Richard Jaqua, aged 80 years.
At a called Meeting Of Fellowship Lodge
No. LOG, for the purpose of paying the last
tribute Of respect to Bro. JaQua, that of
burying him according to the established
usages of the Fraternity, it was voted uran-
imousIy that a committee of three be ap-

WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Divine
Ruler of the Universe to remove from time
to eternity our friend and brother, Richard
Jaqun, and whereas by this dispensation We
have been deprived ola worthy member, his
family of a kind parent; and his wife of u
fond ana alfcctionate husband; therefore
Rcsoicei, That we deeply deplore lis loss
as a brother and friend, and the Fraternity
have lost a worthy member, and the com
munity a good and useful man.
Resolrcd, That the Members of Fellow.
ship Lodge deeply dopIore the affection thus
visited upon the family of our deceased
brother, and tender them our sincere sympa-
thy and coincidence in the irrcparablc loss
they have sustained.
Rcsoircd, That We bow in humble submis-
sion to the dispcnsation of Providence, and
so square our lives, circumstances and de-
Sircs, that when the Great Architect of the
Universe shall say to us at is enough" We
shall be prepared to say, tits well.
Rcsolvc3, That as a testimony of our re

Weekly Summary,

We met an old Dutchman anC
~conversed with him the other dav
who complained that the papers
contained little more than u num-
Der Of prepared lies, published
to deceive the public and cXtort
money from them. We sorrowful-
~ admit that there is too much
truth in our friend, the Dutchman's
remarks. Thousands Of lies have
already been made and circulated
relative to the capture, and its con.
sequences, Of Mason and Slidell.
The same thing may be predicated
of much that we hear and read
about battles fought, won or lost.
1t is now stated in the Washing
ton and New York papers, that
the army on the banks of the Po-
tomac is nearly ready to start and
fight its way to Richmond, and
that the army in Missouri will soon
be ready to cooperate with a large
fleet of gun boats, which are about
10 fight their way down the Mis-
sisSippi. Our news direct from
camp, is cheering. The boys in
Kentucky are well, and anxious to
quit themselves like men. May
their lives be preserved !; they, like
ourselves at home, have been Wis
tied by q beautiful snow-storm.
We look for sharp fighting in Ken
lucky soon.
1t would appear that some sharp
lighting has taken place between
the defenders of Fort pickens and
inc garrison OF PENSACOLA. We
infer from the news which has
reached lis, that we have not gain
ed a victory over General Bragg.
Our ships Of war suffered.
The most important Congress
ever held on earth, will assemble
in Washington OF Monday next,
ID of December, 1861.
FROM EURoPE.-The ILungarians
refuse to pay the war taxes levied
by the Austrian Government, and
it is likely that Hungary will Sc
cede from the Austrian yoke, The

The Seizure Of Mason and Slidell-HOw
Received in Canada.
The Toronto Leader says:

The Toronto Leader says:
The proceeding is rendered worse
by the tone which the Americans
have uniformly maintained in re-
lation to the right Of search. They
have held that the flag Of a coun-
try is an inviolable shelter to the
persons who sail beneath it and
they went to war with Britain
rather than to submit to the right
which our government claimed Of
taking British sailors from Amer!-
can ships. They perilcd every
thing rather than acknowledge for
eign authority in American YES
sels and, tacitly, their position has
been a~cquiesced in. Now, however,
they venture to do what they
treated as a cause Of wal when
done by another power. They
have asserted their right to search
British vessels, and to take from
them parties whose whole olfcnse
is political in its character. Clear
ly, if such an act be tolerated in
this instance, it may be multiplied
indefinitely, and the proud boast of
England, that her flag guards all
beneath it, will be heard no more.
If an American man-oI.war may
coerce IL British vessel in the chan
mel Of the Bahamas, American Off.
GERS may stop and search the Gu
nards, the Canadian steamers, or
any other British steamer, when
and where they please. If they
may outrage the British flag at
sea, they may defy it on land, and
they may drag from Canada the
refugees who are seeking shelter
from Federal despotism. The pre-
tension can not, will not, be tolcra.
ted. And this arrest Of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell will probably
bring the question to an issue. 1t
is not the first attempt which the
Northcrners have made since the
commencement Of the war, to do
as they will toward British author
ity. The incnrsion Of armed ruff
fans into Essex, to capture British
subjects who had left the Federal
Army, was q sample Of what we
might expect if Mr.. Stewards
agents were permitted to tamper
with the loyalty of our people but
that occurrence, though gross, was
trivial compared to the proceedings
of Commodore Wilkes. The ar
rest of Mason and Slidell strikes at
the root Of British authority, and
alirms a right on the part Of tie
Northern States to which the
mcancst nation in Christendom
could not honorably submit.
We assume that Lord Lyons
will at once demand from the
Washington Government a dis
avowal of the act of their Commo-
dore, and the release of Messrs.
Mason and SlideII. Not to assume
this, would, be to suppose that
Britain is indifferent to the rights
and honor of her flag. OF these
contingencies we need not say
which is the more preferable.

and in due form, is-Are the
American peoplc-Democrats and
Ropublicans-prepared to arm the
blacks to Stay the white people of
the South, and thus violate State
Rights, and let four millions of
helpless creatures, including men,
women, and children, loose upon
society, without making any pre-
vious arrangement for their safety?
Democrats, your hardest battle
has yet to be fought, and, in our
opinion, Americas bitterest foes
will be found to be those Of her own
House. II the contest, now raging
between the North and the South,
must be converted into q war
waged between freedom and sla-
very, it Is high time that the Demo-
cratic millions of the Northern
States knew it, that they might
gather up their political strength,
and make one grand and deter.
mined effort to save their indepen,
dence from the aggrcssions of pow
cr. The more openly the Abolition
section of the American people
Nvow their determination to use
the present war as q means to put
an end to slavery by fire and death,
the more earnestly and systematic
calIy ought the Democratic section
to make a firm stand in the gap,
and thus confne the war to its
original design. We hope the
Union will be restored and pcrpetu-
atcd, but we do not want to see
the old landmarks removed, or
liberty sacrificed, and a military
power become dominant. The
States cannot be deprived legally
Of their inherent sovereignty, but
there is no telling what shape the
present contest may assume, and,
therefore it Is the bounden duty of
the Democratic party to let their
voice beheard in the halls of Lcgis-
)Iation, and it d%cvolyes upon us to
keep our readers well posted,
and to report the progress Of pass
ing events. Democrats keep awake.
To talk, as many do, of freeing
the slaves Of all who are in arms
in the South against the North, by
a PROCLAMATION, or otherwise, while
the Union men of the South are
to be permitted to retain their
slaves in slavery, is the language
ofmen, who cannot be relied upon
as safe guides at such a time as
this. The whole thing is a pal
pabIe absurdity, and, in the nature
of things, an impossibility. We
shall return to this momcntous sub
ject again, and do our best to aid
those whoIaro both able and will
ingto guidcth the State vessel through
the shoals on which unskilful mari
ncrs have thrown her, and on which
the watcr-kcIpies Of the Abolition
school threaten to wreck her.

from fire, we remind our readers
that, for the preservation of chill
dren from that calamity, their
clothes, after washing, should be
rinsed in water, in which q small
quantity Of saltpetre (nitre) has
been dissolved. This improves the
appearance, and renders linen and
cotton garments proof against

adopted with window and bed

A New Shell from the Enemy,


Returning to the transports VIC
were still within easy reach of their
riAed cannon, and at this time the
enemy fired 81 pound shell, ap-
parentIy at General Grant and his
staff, who were upon the river
bank. 1t passed with a most ter
rifle whiz right over their heads,
and buried itself ten feet into the
solid earth 100 yards distant, The
shelI-a perfect curiosity--did not
explode, and was dug out Of the
bank, and is now on exhibition
here. 1t is IS inches long, and 81
inches in diameter, a sort of bolt
Of iron "a cannon within a cannon,0
with a brass percussion fuse on the
end, that generally cXpIodes upon
hesIightestimpression being made
upon it. This shell does not an
swer the description ofany known
ancient or modern missile Of war
fare. 1t is q mongre between a
llotchkiss shell and some of the
English patents. 1t is said it was
made in Memphis. 1t was fired
from a rihed cannon eight tons in
weight. The piece on the shell
that fits the grooves of the cannon
is about two inches in depth, and
is made of brass and cast to fit the
grooves. My informant told me
he saw where one of those shells
had been thrown over three miles,
md took effect on Il large oak tree
twenty inches in diameter, and it
airIy cut the tree down as though
+ had been a sapling.
