H1 We refer, with peculiar pleasure,
to the account of the formation, and
successful operation of the Children's
Aid Society, of Pomeroy, which will
be found in another column. 1t was
received just too late for our last paper.
It offers a noble example for other
places to initiate. The hearts of the lit
tie folks are always right on such occa-
sions, and their hands ready to do with
their might, whatever is within their
power. All it wants is for some direct
ing mind to point out the way. In this
instance, just the right person is at the
head Of the movement Angels might
we'll enjoy the spectacle of such con-
gregation Of willing workers in the holy
cause of country and humanity. The
patriot soldier who has offered his life
in the sacred cause, will feel his arm
nerved to do, and his heart-strengthencd
to suffer, if need be, by the assurance
that those for whom he strives are
worthy the sacrifice he makes. Let
such societies be formed everywhere.-
They will do good BY their contributions
to the suffering soldiers, but double
good by inspiring the hearts of our
children with a practical and lofty pat
riotism and love of country, which will
make US happier and better people
when the war is over.

Not a. Democrat.

The world, "and the rest of mankind -
are informed by the Democratic organ
at Marietta, that Major Smith, Of this
place, is no Democrat. Mr.. Miller,
with the evident design Of preventing
the Democrats from volun nteering, rep
resents the officers of the Regiment as
Republicans When referred to Majo
Smith and others, as proof to the con-
trary, he fatty disowns the Major, and
all such men. The only test of Democ-
raey, with the editor, is to place the
party above the country. Whoever will
not do this is denounced as an apostate,
and no longer Democrat.
The recent order from Secretary Stan
ton will compel the editor to be little
less open, at least, in his secesh sympa-
thies.

And Still Another Sign

The Hon. Robert Dale Owen, of In
diana, life long Democrat, and one OF
the most talented and influential men
in the party, has just published long
and able letter, in which he takes the
ground that Slavery is the sole cause of
the rebellion, and that it will be utterly
impossible to suppress the treason+ or
to preserve the liberties of the people
while slavery exists in any portion of
the country. He, therefore, goes for
its total abolition. His arguments are
unanswerable, and coming from him,
must exert a powerful influence upon
the party with whom he has always
acted. SO the ball rolls on

A Guerrilla Shot.

On Tuesday of last week, notorious
Bush -whacker, named Rhodes, was ap-
pretended above Racine, in this county,
and was sent on the Henry Logan to
Ravenswood, in the charge of Capt.
Gore. of the L 1th Va. Volunteers. just
before reaching Ravenswood, Rhodes
struck Capt Gore in the face with a
large tumbler, inhicting frightful
wound, and then seized his musket and
attempted to make his escape, the boat
being very near the shore at the time.
He was secured, however, and given
into the charge of the guard at Ravens
wood During THE night Rhodes at
tempted to escape from the guard, and
was shot dead. He had been in the
rebel army, was one Of the gang of
Moccasin Rangers which infest West
ern Va, and was, probably, acting as a
spy in Ohio, when arrested. He has
met the fate which ought to be awarded
to all such desperadoes.

Don't Thrive in Vermont.

We see it stated that there are but
three partisan Democratic papers left in
the whole State of Vermont. Ever true
to the Constitution, the Union and to
freedom, the Green Mountain State has
more than maintained her ancient re-
nown, during this rebellion. There are
probably fewer sympathizers with the
conspirators in that State than any other

The Work Goes Bravely On.

The quota of the 100000 volunteers,
assigned to Meigs County, to fill the
new regiments, was one hundred and
fifty men, or one Company for this
County, and one in conjunction with
Athens. By an arrangement with
Athens, the half Company was given to
her, and our Committee obtained from
Governor Tod permission to raise two
additional companies, making 800 for
this County.
Prof. Keyes, of the Tuppers Plains
Seminary, was recommended as CAPITA in
of one company, with 7. Mallory, Of
Racine, and H. L. Sibley, Clerk of the
Court of this place, as Lieutenants; and
J. G. Golden, Esq, of Seipio, Captain,
With J. c. H. Cobb, of Salem, and Ham
ilton Carr, of Salisbury, as Lieutenants
of the other. No better appointments
could have been made, and nobly are
the men responding. We believe both
companies will be full by Saturday.
But let every one work with a will to
insure that result. Let every one who
reads this settle it instantly with him
self as to his duty in. the PREMISES
No one who has the physical ability,
she uld hesitate moment under this
call Of his country.

Hard Knocks,

On Saturday last, in consequence of
the Democratic Convention, and the re-
cruiting efforts of those raising volun-
| teers, our town presented quite a
thronged appearance. In times of old
we are informed that when the sons Of
/ God assembled themselves together, a
certain other character appeared in their
midst. As there is nothing new under
the sun, it happened that while hun
dreds of patriotic citizens filled the
streets of Pomeroy, sprinkle Of secesh
appeared among them. Some of these
gentry, mistaking the spirit of the
crowd, ventured to let out their senti-
ments too freely. The result was, sew
eral "knock downs" The Etfreedom of
speech" was decidedly "abridged' in
several eases. A man could hardly
proclaim the war to be a cd Aboli-
ton war" until he was ruthlessly, and
without regard to constitutional
rights tapped on the head by some
''minion" of the "tyrant" Lincoln, and
there wasn't nary habeas corpus to be
had for his protection. A perfect
''reign of terror" ruled the hour, to such
degree, that it was utterly unsafe for
man to express his real sentiment, if
it happened to be opposed to the fanat=
icism which actuates the supporters of
the miserable ''despotism'' established
by the Constitution, and upheld by
ninety nine out of every hundred of
the people of the North. Bad times,
these, for gentlemen of the secesh per-
suasion.

The War Meeting on Tuesday
Night.

About sundown on Tuesday it was
determined to get up a war meeting at
the Court house, at night, to raise funds
to aid enlistments. There was no time
to issue posters, but the word was cir
culated as well as it could be in the few
minutes of time allowed Soon re-
spectacle audience appeared in the
Court house, when the meeting was Or
ganized by appointing Il. B. Smith,
ESQ, Chairman, and A. B. Donnally,
Secretary. The object of the meeting
being stated, several short speeches
were made, and it was at once apparent
that the fires of patriotism were burn
ing brightly upon all hearts. A com
mittee of Is was appointed to solicit
subscriptions, when it was proposed to
call for donations on the spot. Ard
here commenced scene that would
have struck dismay to the heart of a
rebel. One after another arose and an
nounced the sum he was willing to sub
scribe, and each announcement was
greeted with such cheers as made the
spirit Of the meeting unmistakable.-
Some gentlemen who had subscribed
$40, $50, $50, and even 500, arose to
increase, and sometimes to double the
amount The feeling of the audience
may be inferred from the fact that
about fifteen hundred dollars was raised
upon the spot! We would like to know
where that could be beaten.
We regret, however, that money was
more freely offered than men. But we
trust the men will yet be found.

thorities at Richmond for desertion. They
were convicted with two others, Mcguire,
who was sentenced to be publicly whipped,
and RoaERs, whose sentence of death was
postponed fourteen days. 1.-The Richmond
Enquirer thus describes the execution
scene: ~-l.t -
The clear voice of Assistant Provost
Marshal Alexander then broke with pain
full distinctness on the ear of hundreds, as
he read General Orders, !" condemning
MCGOWAN and Kelleher to be shot to
death with musketry, and Mcguire to be
whipped, for desertion. The respite of
Rogers for fourteen days was also an
nounced A painful pause ensued, while
all awaited in GREATNESS expectation the
enactment of the dreadful scene. The
condemned commenced taking off their
coats and hats. They were each calm and
collected. The firing squads were divided,
twelve to each man, and placed q little
apart. The men took their places in front,
and the minister Of God approached them
for the last time. He seemed to whisper
of hope and consolation, for they showed
no signs of fear. At their request, for they
said they could die like soldiers, their arms
were not pinioned. They wish the mus
kets presented to their breasts. In an
swer to the question whether they have
anything to say, Kelleher remains silent.

with emphasis, looking at his executioners,
Goodbye, boys" A white bandage is

The following summing up Of Stew
arts raid into Pennsylvania and his valor-
Gus reception, we clip from the Chicago
Post: 5.u ad ats n' p.... i~eal
The rebel raid on Chambersburg was a char
acteristic piece ofdaring impudence on the part
of the rebel commander.l Its object was two
fold: first, to whistle up the sinking spirits of
the chivalry by the boast that Pennsylvania had
been invaded: second to frighten somebody in
the Quaker State by the bodily presence of the
bold secesh. A third object may have been
DEMONSTRATING but owing to the hazard of the
undertaking not much could have been expect
ed in the way of plumber The other objects
were fully accomplished The militia COM
mandant at Chambersburg, Col Mcclure, was
nearly frightened out of his boots. He rushed
to the telegraph Office on hearing of their ap-
proach, and sent to the Governor dispatch
full of tremor and alarm. "The rebels are ad-
vancing on Chambersburg -" there is no
doubt of it whatever ~" they will certainly
give us call tonight !"-"we can make no
resistance as it would only exasperate them !"
And then Col Mcclure fastened out of town
with flag of truce to meet the rebel comman-
der. 15 .....
The rebels came and Chambersburg was
formally surrendered. A bright feather
in the crownless hat of the chivalry! In
the neighborhood some five hundred hors-
es were stolen, and then, hearing that pre-
parations were making to bag them, the
rebels proceeded hastily to make good their
retreat.
