A Trip.

A trip through fifty miles Of Eastern Ohio
will remind one that the summer is almost
gone. The ground in the thickly wooded
sections is covered with: dead leaves, which
"Rus,le to The eddying gust y
And 10 the rabbits tread"
The yellow pumpkins are beginning to
peep out from among the scar corn stalks
and shucks, and everything indicates the
approach of the melancholy days"

A War Democrat on the Presidents
Proclamation.

Major. General McClurnand and staff are
here tonight, having come on from Altoona
with the Governors. As Democratic
politician of some note. in political times,
and now fighting, Gen. McClernands S opin-
ion ofthe Presidents proclamatiopis worthy
of note.
He is heartily and openly in favor of it,
and says it will greatly tend to quiet the
public mind; that large portion of the
loyal North demanded some such declara.
tion as matter of principle; that the loss
loyal classes were constantly predicting that
some such policy was sure to come and de-
claring in advance the heroes it would pro.
duce. Tho thing was now done, the hero
would not be forthcoming, and thus their
thunder would be taken away, while, since

it will not injure us at the South becaus the,
have known all along that it was coming
while in Europe its OBJECT cannot but bt
favorable. .-tWash. Cor. Gin. Gaz', Tues
