Who Is Daniel r. MlIleri

We take the following from the Piusburg
(Pennsylvania) Post. which thus speaks of d. F.
MILLER, the new Republican Justice Of the Su-
preme Court:
About twenty years ago a big, raw -boned,
brawny young fellow, ugly, Nkward and I'M
learned, migrated from this county to Iowa, and
after being in that young State about a year, he
was elected to the Legislature. This was consid-
cred by Dams friends here as one of the most ex-
iraordinary exhibitions of popular liberality ever
manifested by an intelligent people. His sudden
elevation to legislative dignity spread like a hur-
ricane throughout Western Pennsylvania, and TO
that fact is to be attributed the large migration
from this section to Iowa which Immediately fol-
lowed. Every young man among us who knew
Dan saw. in prospective. legislative and judicial
honors. Iowa was regarded ms the land of prom
Use, for. if her citizens would elevate Dan Miller
TO her Legislature. after a few months a~cquaint-
ance, what was it not possible the same discrimi-
mating people would do for Others And they
were right. too. Many of our young Pennsylva-
mans found fame and fortune in Iowa. But the
recent advancement of Daniel !. Miller to the
Supreme Bench of the United States is one of
the most unlocked for events we remember in all
our judicial and checkered experience. Were il
not so serious a matter, we should be induced 70
attribute it to "Old Abe's" propensity for practi-
cal Jokes.

A Card,


am authorized by the Major General Com
mandiug Department Of East Tennessee to raise
and recruit regiment of Infantry. Our military
authorities understand that the order has been
issued for the enrolment of the conscripts of
East Tennessee. The law will be rigidly enforc-
cd in its amended form. Those who prefer Sc
Letting their own officers and who desire the
usual bounty should volunteer at once now is
the only opportunity we will have of making our
choice. The drama Of war is being enacted on
the largest scale on this continent and every man
between Is and IS must do his part, and this is
desirable by those who would cherish the immor-
tai principles Of liberty and equality. Now is
the time. Tho shouts Of our victorious armies
are borne upon every breeze, soon we will have
the Joyous news of the disenthrallmcnt of Mary
land and redemption of Tennessee. The letters
of despotism that have so long bound down Mis-
souri,. and Kentucky are swapping and ere long
their bright emblems of sovereignty and power
will rise amid the Southern Constellation. We
are called npon to aid this grand contamination
and force the enemy to sue for peace.
Responsible gentlemen engaged in, or desirin q
to engage in raising companies, and who would
prefer going in our regiment will report to me in
person or by letter Swcetwatcr, Tennessee.

speaks of the probable results. Says he
the italic being our own:
GAS write terrible battle is raging,
and on its result must hinge the ,oar. If we
are successful that part of the army un-
der Jackson must be annihilated, and
that under Lee defeated; and if we are
not successful, and the rebels overpower
us, God alone can .toresec the future Of the Re
public. But we are hopeful; for thank
God and Lincoln's backbone, Mcclellan
is again at the head of the army.
l scarcely know where to begin to write
up the events of the day. They, or the
report of them, come in so thick and fast,
that one almost goes crazy in listening to
them !"

school for the last ten months, during which time
he has rendered ample, and, we might say, uni

pupils There never was o better time for men to
educate their daughters than now--money is
plenty everything farmer raises bears two
prices, and the Tuition to this School is the same
that it was when everything at low hgures-
What excuse can there be now for man who
neglects to educate hia daughter? None. Be
cause here, in Cleveland. healthy locality,.we
have an Institution, with excellent Instructor,
aided by sufficient corps Of Assistants, to in
struct all who may favor it with their patronage.
Let one and all put their shoulder to the wheel
and build up such School as will, be of incaleu-
liable benefit to us and an honor to our tewp.--
We have the building and We have tho teaohcrs-
the balance devolves upon the people. We hope
they may noby perform their duty.

patronage bestowed upon Mr.. Bradshaw hereto
fore, and are glad to know that under his admin
istraton, the Institution has not lost any of tho
enviabe reputation it sustained in "the better days
