The 4lst and their Flag.

From a letter from Sergeant Adell OF
Company C, 4lst Regiment, published in
the Ohio State journal, we make the fol
lowing extract:
1--WE crossed the river on Sunday night,
and Nelson's advance stopped them from
coming any further. We lay on our arms
Sunday night, close by the river. 1t was
a hard night, for it rained a good deal
At daylight Colonel Hazen moved his
brigade of three regiments, the 9th Indi-
ana and 9th Kentucky in Line of bat
tie" and our regiment as the reserve. 1t
was not long till we met the rebels. We
drove them back over the ground they
had gained the day before.
1T was a strange looking sight-that bat
tie field. 1t had all been in the woods.
Union men and rebels lay scattered
around-wagons, horses, cannon and guns,
were to be seen on every hand.
The 9th and 9th continued the fight in
our position: other troops were engaging
the enemy in other places. We could
hear the firing. but could tell nothing
about them. All that we knew anything
certain about was our own brigade.
About 9 o'clock the rebels were advanc-
ing on us in strong force. General Nelson
rode up and said, go in 4lst." Wewent
in, but am sorry to tell, came out with a
very heavy loss. | have heard a great
deal of troops rushing into battle, but
think the 4lst has not been surpassed BY
any. We went nj perfect run after the
first fire; we drove the rebels about a
quarter of a mile, when our regiment was
so badly .cut up that we fell back, and
Other troops took. our place.
Our company lost four killed and four
teen wounded. a suffered more than
any other, as we had the flag. All our Of
tieers are gone, so ! am in command of
the company now / escaped without a
scratch, though the others were falling all
around me. | had a hole shot into the
barrel of my gun.
John Dunn was carrying the flag when
he fell. Captain 0pdycke picked it up
and it was not long till he was wounded.
Captain Wiley then took it, he soon fell
wounded in the leg. 1t was not three
feet from him when he fell. list Lieut..
McCleery. of company A, took the flag
after Captain Wiley fell, and he was soon
wounded in the hand so badly that it had
to be taken off. Such is the history of
our flag during the fight on Monday. A
little fellow of company 4 carriedit safely
through the fight, after Lieut.. McCleery
was wounded.

Ohlo's Care For Her Soldiers.

1t having been inSinuated that Ohio
was not as SOLICITORS forts soldiers as some
other States, and that Gov. Tod was rath-
er Indifferent to their welfare and inter
ests, Prof. Peck, of 0berlin, has address
ed a letter to the Cleveland Leader, con-
tradicting the report, and vindicating the
State Authorities. The writer says:
ITO come at once to my subject-what
the authorities have done and are doing
may be summarily stated as follows:
J.. The Legislature has given the Gov
ernor n military contingent fund of Sl03-
900, which fund is, of course, at his unre-
strieted disposal. 1t has authorized His
Excellency TO appoint and send whatever
nurses should seem to him necessary, and
to put into the field thirty extra surgeons.
And | may say hat it has never declined
dropping any business, however urgent,
to take up any bills the object of which
was to promote the welfare of the soldiers.
.. The Governor has given himself,
body and soul, as | learned from many
concurring witnesses, and as | judged from
my conversation with him, TO the matter
of keeping our troops in as good condition
as possible. That he will not do such a
thing by halves, if he undertakes to do it
at all. all who know him will believe.
And as to what he has done, he has,
since the battleo of Pittsburg Landing, sent
four boats on relieving expeditions to the
field: the relieving parties being careful
ly made up of such men as Lieut.. Gov.
Stanton, and Drs. Weber and Cushing of
Cleveland. ex-Mayor Senter and Colonel
Bliss of Cleveland, and Doctors S. N.
Smith and Ide, and ReY. Mr.. Goodwin of
Columbus, with picked nurses in suitable
number. To the means which those no
bic charities, the Ladies' Aid Societies
and the Sanitary Commissions has sup
piled, he has supplemented whatever
more was needed. His instructions to the
expeditions have been that every Ohio
soldier, near the field of the late battle,
who IS disabled By either disease or rounds
should Be- brought home"

lied to enter l6O acres of any

ty cents per acre.
During q discussion on the bill to con-
hscate rebel property, to aid in defraying
the expenses of the war, Senator Wilson,
of Mass, offered as an amendment to the
9th section of Mr.. Collamer's substitute
authorizing the President to make a proc
lamation and free the slaves of those who
continue the rebellion for thirty days.

How to Fix Them.

A prominent Tennessee rebel, named
Judge Guild, was recently arrested for
disloyalty by a Sheriff named Col Myers
When the Judge was arrested, his female
relatives were particularly demonstratiye.
Mrs. G. wished she had just the power,
she would drive the Yankee Hessians out
of the country very quick.
"Yes," said the officers, "but we have
the power, and intend to drive the enc
mics of the country IN" Very well"
said the lady. "You need not think you
can force our people into the Union."-
I'IYe intend to force the soil in, anyhow"
said Col. Myers, "and if the people can't
afford to CONS in, they would better get
of"
That is the proper idea to keep before
the rebels. The flag of the Union is des-
tined to wave over every State from the
lakes to the Gulf, and if the rebels will
not live beneath IFS folds, they can evac-
uated, emmigrate and skadaddle, for all
that the loyal portion of the nation will
care. There will be enough of loyalty left
to occupy the deserted lands and tene-
ments of the rebels. Uncle SAINTS bound
10 have the territory of Secessia, whether
the rebels are willing or not. If they be-
have themselves, and respect the Consti-
tuition and laws, they can have his protec-
ton, otherwise they viii be very properly
and justly disinherited, and their estates
sold { aid in d~efraying the expenses they
have imposed on the nation by their in
fernal treason.
The Unionists will conquer and held
the States, but, so faras we ale concerned,
the rebels may go to Guinea, or even a
hotter latitude, if it better suit their taste
than to live in a free, democratic goyern-
ment.

Representative Howe.

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald, inspeaking of thework-
ing. attentive and useful members of the
House, bestows, in the subjoined extract,
a handsome and merited compliment up
on the Representative from this county:
1.-The active efficient men of the House
hail from no special section, but come up
from different parts of the State. The
Queen City and the Forest City, Mont
gomery, Trumbull, Logan, Lake, Mus
kingum, Marion, Wood, Medina, Warren,
Lucas. Clinton, Greene, Clarke, and even
this "straight-out" Democratic county,
Though we do not hold to the party creed
of Messrs. Converse and Dresel, are well
and ably represented. 0dlin, West, Os-
born and Reamy are known to the people
at large by the measures they have orlgl-
mated: while others, who have been less
conspicuous, nave not been less attentive
and useful. Embraced in this class Is DR..
Howe. the member from Trumbull, who,
while he has abstained from ~protracted
discussion during the present session, has
frequently disposed of a measure and saw
ed the time of the House by a single well
timed remark. An adept in the art of
saying much in little, we have often been
struck with the force of his words, which
fell like a flash on the question, more
than once reminding us of "apples of
gold in pictures of silver" Moreover, he
is thoroughly posted in respect to every
measure, and his bill book might be fifty
styled the " History of the proceedings of
the Fifty-ffth General Assembly, with
marginal notes and references

Southern News.

FORTRESS MONROE, April 20.-A flag o
truce came from Norfolk to-day, ant
brought down the wife and family of Par
son Brownlow, and also Mrs. Maynard
the wife of the Congressman. The party
consisted of four ladies, two gentlemen
and six children, all from Tennessee.
They bring a report that all the Union
families in Tennessee have been ordered
by proclamation to leave within thirty-six
hours. Eighteen hundred Union men
left for Kentucky a week ago on Friday.
Of a party of nine hundred who attempt.
ed to leave, one hundred had been killed.
The Day Books editorial says that the
fall of New Orleans is by far the most Sc
rious reverse of the war. 1t suggests fu-
ture privations to all classes of society,
but most TO be lamented of all. it threat
ems the army supplies. The raising of
meat and bread, instead of cotton and to-
bacco, is earnestly recommended by the
disconsolate editor.

" communicated to the City Council his

PIrrsBURG LANDING, May 3-9P.M NJ.
Six deserters arrived yesterday and ten
t~o-day--all confirm the capture of New
Orleans.
A few days ago one Tennessee and one
Mississippi regiment of twelve months
men stacked their arms, their time having
expired, and refused TO serve any longer
though required by conscript law. Beau
regard had put two regiments to guard
them. Two hundred deserters came in
yesterday and numbers are leaving daily.
All rumors of a battle here or vicinity
are unfounded.
Weather clear and the roads will be
passable in a day or two so the army can
advance.
Hospital toats and stores are arriving
daily. Gen. Finnel, of Kentucky, and a
host of surgeons and nurses, arrived to-
day.

To The Assessors.

The law ordering three fourths of a mill
levy on the dollar to aid the families OF
the volunteers, provides that the money,
when collected, shall be distributed to the
several counties in proportion to the num-
Der of volunteers enlisted from each, and
it requires the Assessors while making
their annual assessments of personal prop
erty to take an enumeration of the num-
Der who have volunteered in their several
districts and townships. and to return the
same to the County Auditor. The levya as
made will raise about sixty dollars per man
for each person in the person in the ser
vice from Ohio. 1t is important therefore
that the Assessors should be careful and
see hat none are omitted, as each volun-
teer neglected will caus so much loss OF
the fund to the county he enlisted in
The citizens generally should pay some
attention to the matter when the Assessor
comes round for his lists of property.

of the struggle for New Orleans, and says
the occupation of that place by the Fed

the great artery of the seeded States.
The Morning Herald, a conservative or
gan has a sarcastic editorial on the pro-
tracted continuance of the American
struggles, Federal predictions to the con-
trary notwithstanding. 1t sees no signs
of exhaustion in the North, and no dis
couragement in the South and believes
that no probable military achievement on
either side will suffice to bring either par
ty to terms. With these views, our COM
mercial and political policy should be reg
ulated on the conviction that a speedy
peace is hopeless.
The Herald farther says, that the Gov
eminent of Washington should be per-
mitted to have one more chance, and if
they fail, the Great Powers should per-
emptorially interfere on behalf of the gem
eral well being Of mankind. That this
has not been done before is owing to the
generosity of England, as France was ready,
but it is time that England should cease
to stand between her own people and the
relief they need.

mercial is almost blank.

The Tax.

The Tax bill which has passed the House
of Representatives, its friends estimate,
will yield about $780, 900. 900 per annum.
OF this amount Ohio will have t. pay
about $500 900 or one tenth. The pop
ulation of this State is about two million
three hundred thousand, which would
make about six dollars and fifty cents for
every man, woman and child in the State,
if the tax were divided equally among the
people.
The value of the real and personal prop
erty in the State, according to the tax,du-
plicate, is about, 5000. 000, 900. Of this
amount o~ne-sixtieth will be required to
meet the Tax law.
The $50. 0O0,O 900 to be raised is simply
to pay the interest on our National Debt,
and not TO be used towards the exiting
uishment of the debt.
The taxes to be raised by this bill viii
