a Fighting Family.

MIR. Jesse llcadington, one of our sub
ScrlbcrS, residing in Liberty township,
Knox county, came in last week to settle
his account, and bid us good by, stating
that he had volunteered and was about
going to war. Jesse is the sixth voun-
tccr this family has furnished to put down
the rebellion-hc having already five
brothers in the service. Two Of these
brothers fought in the Mexican war. Their
father, Laban llcadington. served his
country IN the war of 1912, and their
grandfather was one Of the gallant men
who assisted in achieving our indepcnd.
cnco, in the War of the Revolution. 1t
is ScarScly necessary to add that all these
men, grandfather, father and sons. have
been Democrats, for men who have so
faithfully stood by their country could
not be suspected of having belonged to
any other party,-Woam Vernon Banaer

1t Is an almost universally conceded fact
that the present Abolition Congress has done
moro 10 strengthen secession and destroy tho
Union than our armies have been able to
counrrbalancc. In view Of this fact it is rs
much the duty of every Union man to vote
against such men and use every effort to de
feat them as it is for our gallant soldiers TO
hght against scccsSionsts. There Is no way
to preserve the Union but by putting down
Abolition at the ballot box and crushing SO
eeSSi"n by force Of arms. II both the trca-
sonah'o elements are not crushed all is lost
Let either OF them live aud eternal ruin and
endless wars will be the future history orou
country. Hon. George Bliss the canddatc
for Congress in this district, is the kind of a
man to elect five would hope for bcttcr things
Than we have at the present His distin.

starvation Imminent Virgin


The Christian Banner, published ot
Fredericksburg, Va, has the following
editorial statement:
Men may laugh and sncer at the idea
as much as they please, but facts before
us prove that Nirgenia will be starved ont
IN twelve months, if the war continues in
her territory. Every body knows who
has brains to think, that there is but lit
tie now produced in the State. Admit.
ing that the amount OF land was put in
cultivation last fall and spring (Which is
not the iact) that has heretofore been
cultivated, we know that thousands on
thousands of the laboring hands have left
Virginia and gone to the Federal troops
while thousands of others have been sent
South, and nearly all the poor la6oring
white class have been forced into the
Southern army,
AS we have stated in previous num-
Der of the Banner, two large armies are
mainly spportcd from what remains in
Virginia which, at best was merely enough
for the citizens, with the exception of an
excess of corn and wheat, and as but lit
tie of these staples in comparison will be
raised this year, what will become Of the
citizens next year? The Confederate army
in Virginia numbers at least 800, 900
men, the New York Tribune to the con.
trary Notwithstanding, and in short
time the presumption is that there will be
at least an equal number of Federal
troops, so that we may safely say there
is an almost absolute certainty that there
are or soon will he from six hundred
thousand to one million of men aud horses
all foriaging in Virginia. What will be
left for the citizens? A parched earth. n
iesolaic country and a pestilent atmos-
pherc, This is what awaits Virginia in

Facts are stubborn Things.

From my reading the papers, and from
the observation of events for about Is
months past, deduce the following fact,
viz:
|. That the election of "honest old
Abe' was the drest calamity that has
ever beiallen this country.
. That the Republican party is the in
vctcrate enemy Of free speech, . free press
free institutions and & free people.
3. Thata Republican Congress is ii
capable of lcgi,lating for the interest Of
white men or black
t, That Republican Cabinet is the
most corrupt of any that has ever assem-.
hled in Washington.
D. That the Constitution may be sns.
pended by a republican minority President
with the approval ofhis party constituents,
who think more Of their Chicago platform
than they do Of the Constitution of the
United States.
u. That the greater the thief the greater
the reward at the hands of "honest old
Abe, as in the case Of John Cattle Ere.
mont and Simoa Magnus Cameron.
I. That the Union army could not have
been successfully led, except by Demo
cratic Generals.
s. That tie republican abolitionists
desire the SuIiugaion of all the slave.
holding States, and not the restoration of
the Union as it was.
.. That the party now in power would
substitute negro labor for white labor.
whether the climate and other crcum.
stances for SO doing were favorable or
not.
10, That investigating committees and
the proceedings Of Congress have given
us indubitablc evidence that tho nublic
treasury is not safe in the hands of the
present administration.
II. That the liberties of this country
arc IN great danger to-day from the cor.
rnptlons and proHigacycpracticed in the
various departments of the government
than they are from the open enemy in the
field.
II. That wo never had a session of
Congress through which it was more ca
- 10 thrust party measures without con.
without debate, ll-adviscd. and
to the prejudice of the best interests of tho
whole country, than that which has lust
IL. That the stealing of the oflice-hold
ers under this administration already
very far exceed the entire expenditures of
the administration Of James Buchanan.
and | admit that was more eXtravigant
than 1t ought to have been.
"A, That New England manufactures
rule the party in power to the great iniu
~ of the northwestern States.
10. That SO long as the Republican
party continues in power the people must
be enormously y taxed, ana the laboring
population must bear the bulk of the
burden.
l6. That the continuance of the Rcpub-
lean barty in power will perpetuate see
.ionaI hostility indefinitely.
II. That the Republican press and ora
ors arc not to be trusted, because they
seldom tell the truth.
Is. That the future dominance of ma.

he only reasonable hope of maintaining

"a proud record for the State would it be- if the
Tenth regiment could be ready in ten days to
march to Washington, and how would the en-
thuSIastlc greeting all along the way, which has
met the Ninth, be redoubled to welcome the
flashing bayonets Of the Tenth. But more and
better than this need of praise, would be the
Thanksgiving that Yermonters on the Peninsula
would offer up with their prayers, that the
