ces have so exasperated the white
boatmen that it was exceedingly
unsafe for negro to pass along
the landing without receiving the
blow of stone or a club on his
cranium, and the hugh and cry
"ki.l the nigger," &C., being raised
by all the white boatmen as they
pursued their colored enemy out

they term the levee.
During the past week a number
of knock downs have occurred, and
on two occasions the negroes were
compelled to jump into the river
and swim for their lives. Yester-
day afternoon the difficulties cul-
on the levee, between
Ludlow and Broadway, In a grand
riot, in which not less than one
hundred persons participated
Stones and clubs few lively and

were driven off, badly beaten.
The police were soon on hand in
large numbers, and succeeded in
arresting Godfrey Frantz, Frank
Daniel Calbert and Henry
Bowen. Others will be arrested

great against the negro population,
and in different portions of the

and knocked down without any
questions being asked. In the

Packing Fruits for Long Distances.

A correspondent of the Cottage
Garden describes the following
method for packing fruits Of vari-
GUS kinds. This system he has
practiced with success for twenty
years, and he has sent fruit from
distances varying from fifty to FIVE
hundred miles:
Take box, soft paper and sweet
bran. A box is chosen in size
according to the quantity to be
sent; A layer of bran is put on
the bottom, then each bunch of
grapes is held by the hand over a
sheet Of paper; the four corners Of
the paper are brought up to the
stock and nicely secured then laid
on its side in the box, and so on
until the first layer is finished
Then fill the Whole over with
bran, aud give the box a gentle
shake as you proceed, Begin the
second layer as the first, and so on
until the box is completed. Thus
with neat hands the bloom is pre-.
served, and may be sent to any
distance but with clumsy hands,
quite the contrary, anl often. an
entire failure, as the putting and
taking out OF the box are the most
points to be Observed
l have Invariably packed sixty or
eighty punches of grapes, and fifty
or sixty dozens Of peaches or april
cots in oncbox, and received letters
from persons who said they had
arrived as safe as if thcy had been
taken from the trees that morning.

In our issue OF July 3D., we called
the attention Of our readers to the
arbitrary arrest Of J. W. Kees, edi.
tor of the Circleville Watchman.
A very large and enthusiastic
meeting was held at Circleville on
the I'd inst, when the following
resolutions were passed:
Resolved, That we denounce the
cIandestine seizure without legal
process, and forcible carrying off
of said John W. KEGS out of this
State and judicial district, by the
emissares of the Administration,
as a gross violation OF his consti-
tutional rights, as an infraction of
the laws Of our State, as o high
crime, and an Infamous outrage.
ReSOlced, That we denounce the
illegal and despotic suppression Of
the Circleville Wotch1nan as a ty.
rannical attack upon the liberties
of speech and tile press, for the
purpose Of infueReilg the coming
October elections.
ReSoIred, That we suggest to the
Democratic Central Committee of
Pickaway county, to call a Mass

Circleville, at the earliest con-
venient day, to take counsel togeth-
er, how to preserve our political
and constitutional liberties and to

Call for More Troops.

another army of three hundred
thousand men. In pursuance OF
this call, Governor Tod addresses
the people of Ohio as follows;
PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Columbus, Ohio, July, 3, '62.
FelloD,ct5zcaS: Another appeal
to your patriotism has become nee.
essary. The enemies of our Gov
erument, now assembled at Rich
mond in hostile array, largely out.
number any disposable forceat the
Presidents command.
J The army under General Nc
Clellan as been driven back,
merely by the force of overwheIm-
ing numbers rapidly concentrated
there.
Additional troops are alone nee
essary to hold the important posi-.
tons already gained, and speedily
crush the rebellion at all points.
Literally and gallantly as Ohio
has heretofore responded to the
calls of the President, he has ever
been assured that we had but to
know that further aid was needed
from us, to insure a prompt answer
to any further calls he might make
upon US This knowledge we now
have, and the call has also been
made.
And now, citizens Of Ohio, one
and al, shall this call be responded
to? Something whispers me that,
with one voice, you say it shall be
answered.
Arouse, then, and let every man
be able to say that he has done his
duty.
There is work for all to do. The
aged can stimulate the young; the
wealthy contribute to the wants
and necessities of the destitute ;
and the ladies, who have already
done so much, and whose kind
hearts will prompt them in the
continuance Of their good work,
can encourage, by their noble ex
ample botn old and young in the
performance of the great duty
What is wealth, or even life worth,
if, to reserve either. We have to
confess to the world that we are
unable to maintain our glorious
Government.
Gallant and worthy recruiting
officers for the organization of new
regiments and the filling up of
those already in the field will be
appointed in all portions of the
State, and specific instructions Civ
ell to them.
The eLlistments will be for three
years, or during the war.
l can not at this time indicate
the number of troops wanted from
Ohio, but can safely say that the
Government will accept all who
may offer within the coming forty
days.
Promptness and vigilance are
indispensable. Forty thousand re-
crultS within the time indicated
would be of more service than
twice that number at a later pc
riod.
The gallant men of the State
may rely upon my best endeavors
to discharge the highly responsible
duties devolving upon me, with an
eye single to the preservation of
our Government, and with the
sincere hope and belief that, when
the great struggle of life shall be
over, my children can claim for
me an honest and faithful perform
ance of my duty.
Invoking the smiles Of our Heav.
emily Father upon our good work,
| am your humble servant.

to use one that contains articles Of real use in

PUTTING Down THE REBELLIoy'-.
The New York World (ReppbIican)
editorially says;
Here, in this second week Of
July, sixteen months after the first
gun at Sumter, and twelve months
after the warning of Bull Run,
the Confederacy has as many eff
fective men under arms as the true
Government, and the first great
battle has yet to be begun with
the advantage OF numbers on the
loyal, and not on the rebel side
That is the record. We challenge
any living man to confute it. Our
success, thus far, is mainly attrib-
utable, pot to what our armies
have done in the field, but to what
our ships have done on the water.
Well may every cheek mantle with
Indignation. Three times more
true men than false in the land,
and yet, in the grapple, the false
ever outnumbering the true! This
thing must stop, or the cause must
fail. The gunboats can achieve
but little more. They have nearly
reached their limits. The rebel
lion can be met in Its last interior
strongholds by the army alone
Woe betide US if that army shall
not be strong enough for that final
terrible encounter.
