Tho Duty. OF the Dav.


Every Union ,uan in Hancock
county, hiss a duty to perform with.
in the next two weeks-a duty that
in importance, exceeds any aud all
othcrs, and that is to give HE assist'
snce toward keeping tho state OF
Ohio out OF the hands OF semi-seces
siopists, who are now struggling for
it's possession. The eyes Of the
South are turned lobgingly aud anx'
iously to the Western states. They
were promised before they pcecipi.
tsted hostilities, the countenanoe
and support Of the Democracy Of the
North, and though disappointed at
the frat election, they still have faith
that q reaction" will take place and
that reaction they expect this fall.
They count upon it--the expectation
has stimulated them, has kept their
armies in the field, has Derved them
in their encounters, and If the Val.
landighamers obtain victory, their
howl Ct triumph will be echoed from
the Ohio to the gclf of Mexico, and
the fight renewed with tenfold yigor.
1t will be hailed by them as an ex
preston Of disapproval of tho war
by a majority OF the people Of the
State, and will DO taken as confrma
tion of the promises Of Vslandig.
hsm, that the Democracy should
side with them in the event OF war
In addition to this, We must have
dothing but sound Union men to
control the state, and to represent ne
in Congress. The boast OF Vallan.
ham that he had never voted dollar
to carry on the war, was but an
open confession OF the policy agreed
upon by that wing Of the party, and
give them the control Of affairs, and
that policy would be rigidly carried
out.
The Vallsndighamers have laid
the ropes we'll, for the election, and
il will require the most efficien,
work on tho part Of the Unionists,
to save the state from their unhal
lowed hands. They have held back
their men from volunteering tha,
they might have them at the polls,
and they have been laboring steadily
and INCREASINGLY for year poisoning
the minds OF .he people against the
administration. They have worked
are now working, and II we would
save the state the time betwixt thi,
and this election must be we'll en-
ployed.
Union men Of Hancock, let yonr
share of work DO we'll done. Or
ganizo every School District, thor
oughly, and SEQ to it, that we do NJ
ialI behind from pure neglect. III,

Death of Gen, Nelson.

Scu. ANetsOus
General Nelson, one OF the mos,
brutal tyrants now in the army. wac
shot in Louisville last week by Brig
Gen. JEFF. c, Davis of Indisne.--
This shooting was a righteous affair
and will teach military tyrants a
lessTn. The following are the par.
ticulsrs of the sfiray:
LOUISVILLE, September 20. AT
the Gait House, at about 8 O'Clock
this morning, a difficulty occurred
between Brig. Gen. Davis and Mai
Gen Nelson. 1t appears that there
has been difficulty between the
parties for some time. Nelson was
in the office of the Gait House when
Davis approached and spoke to him
Nelson refused to listen to him, and
used some insulting language. -
Davis Immediately borrowed q pis-
tol and followed Nelson, who was
going up stairs to his room, and
whilst on the stairs, shot him, the
ball entering the heart. Nelson af.
terwards walked to his room and
wss laid on a matrsss. lie died
about hall past s o'clock.
LATER - Many conflicring &C.
counts OF the shooting Of Gen. Mel.
son by Davis.
About week ago Nelson placed
Davis in command OF the home
guard forces Of this city. At nigh,
Davis reported to Nelson the mum
Der OF men working on the eotrencb
ments and enrolled for SERVICE
Nelson cursed him for not having
more. Davis replied that he was a
general tfficer and demanded the
treatment ofa gentleman. Nelson
10 an insulting manner, ordered bin
to report at Cincinnati, and said he
would ord,r the Provost Marshall to
tject him from Il g city.
This morning, Gov. Morton and
Gen. Nelson were stan ling near the
desk at the Gait House. Genera!
Davis approached and requested
Gov. Morton to witness the conver
sation between himself and Nelson
He demanded Of Nelson an apology
for the rude treatment no had re-
ceived last week. Nelson being q
little deaf, asked him to speak loud
or. Davis again demande an apol.
ogy.
Nelson denounced him aud slap.
ped him on the face. Davis steppsd d
back clinched bis fist and again de,
manded an apology. Nelson slap,

nounced him as . coward. Davis
turned away, procured q pistol iiom

was going mp stairs. Davis told
Nelaon to defend himself, immedi.

As election approaches, tho Val.
lsndighamers are belching out lies
faster thao ever. The lset one is,
that it costs the Government so per
cent to collect the national tax. -
This abominable falsehood is being
spread through the country as fast
80 possible. The TACT is that il there
is one collector appointed for each
Congressional district, and this col
lector receives exactly four per cent.
OF the amount collected, and that
four per cent. is all he receives
'put Of this he pays his deputies and
sll other expenses.

The Proclamation IN the Army.

The army endons the Emanci-

the prominent tfficers in Virginia
speak of it highly-Democra,ic as

the soldiers new energy. They see
now a prospect for the close Of the
