Last Saturday, the 24th inst, will long be re-
membered by the voters Of Fairfield township.
1t was an election for Justice Of the Peace
merely, yet IL was one Of the hardest fought
battles for 80 small an office, ever held In this
county. 1t was a contest between Constitu.
tional Democrat on one side, and Bogus Dem
ocrat on the other, the latter receiving the Re-
publican vote. Joseph Ewing Constitutional
Democrat) was elected over John H. Mesler
(Fuslon) by twenty majority This, under the
circumstances, is one Of the greatest victories
ever gained in the township. The Republicans
used their utmost exertions to get up a,bitter
feeling among the country voters against Ew-
ing, because he resided in the city, and would
leave the county portion Of the township with
out magistrate, TO defeat Mesler. They de-
nounced Ewing as secesaionist and traitor
They obtained the affidavit Of some poor tool,
setting forth that he (EWing) had been heard
to say, that "if he (Ewing) had had two legs
in place of one, be would have been In the
Southern army" This availed them nothing.
"The truth il mighty and will prevail" The
Democracy win in the end conquer. Woe,woe,

pie are aroused, and are awake TO their consti
tutional rights, and are in quest Of those who

Our manrfIeId- volnntears.

Our peaceable city last Monday morning was
thrown into an intense state of excitement, on
receiving telegraphie dispatch from Governor
Tod, calling on this county for two hundred re-
cfuits, as the Capital of our beloved nation
was in imminent danger Of rebel invasion, and
called upon the patriotic citizens of Ohio for
volunteers for its defense. Placing confidence
in this dispatch, and believing that Washington
City was in great danger, our citizens immedi-
ately took steps 10 secure the men called for,
and by three O'Clock, some sixty or seventy had
enlisted for thirty days, who left here at
o'clock in the afternoon for Columbus. A
great many OF our best citizens, and some OF
our business men were among the volunteers
They went at a moments warning, and agreed
to 90 for thirty days, believing that by that
time all danger would have passed away, and
that they could return to their neglected duties
of home. But what was their astonishment
on arriving at Columbus to learn that Governor
Tod would not accept them for o less period
than three months; nor was their sstonishment
much diminished when they ascertained that

7 Union meetings in tennessee.

The Shelbyville, Tennessee, Ne,Os of the
9Th ult., gives glowing account of the Union
meeting held at Murireesborcugh, Rutherford
county, on the preceding Saturday. The rsso-
lutions Of the recent Union Convention at
Nashville were unanimously adopted. Speeches
were made BY Edmund CooPER, Esq, Of Shell
byville, and by Governor ASDREw JoHNsoN.-
The appeals made by these gentlemen to the
people to be faithful in their allegiance to the
Constitution and the Government of the United
States as sthe only anchor of hope and safety,
found an echo In the hearts of all present. ~
The same paper publishes the notice of q
Union meeting Of the citizens of Bedford
county, which was to take place on the 29ih
ult. The cause of the Union seems to be stir-
ring up loyal men all over Tennessee, and
needs but sympathy and corresponding action
in what are called ''loyal States" to drive be-
fore it the last vestige Of secession.
