Death Of John HaTkrader---
Another victim of Abolition
Violence.

We are panied to record the death O John
Harkrader, Esq, of RIdgeville, which occurred.
at the Asylum, in Dayton, yesterday.
On Monday, I'd inst, Mr.. Harkrader was
in Franklin, and got into u political discussion,
and made some remarks concerning the Alb
olitionist and their policy, which did not suit
some Black Republican rowdies, when they
denounced him "a IA Secessionist, and three
of them made . brutal assault upon him, beat
ing him about the head and face in IA horrible
manner. From The effects Of this assault he
became deranged aud was taken to the Day.
ton Lunauc Asylum On Thursday last, where
he died from the effects of his wounds.
MIR. Harkrader WAS an excellent man, and a
good citizen, aud by his death we feel person
ally as If we had lost our best friend.
We call upon the authorities TO investigate
this matter, and bring the offenders to justice.

time, high time, that Democrats every

went to New Orleans as Government Quarter

to carry army stores, soldiers, etc, to New
Orleans, where tere re-chartered by ex-quar-
termaster Butler, and freighted by him, on
such terms as enabled him TO realize a very
handsome thing" He is saidto have bought
Confederate money with Federal funds at a
heavy discount, Of course, and then bought
sugar and cotton with the jeff Davis currency.
He is still operating with great success. How
much his "patriotic' brother, Ben, has made

very well known, believes that he would throw

For our own part, we have not the great
est confidence in his moral honesty. A man
who could vote forty odd times in q Conven.

The Mcneil -prnssecre,

One Of tho features of the Mcneil murder
in Missouri is so cruel that Il deserves espe-
cial remembrance A. Il relAied a. follows
Zone ofthe victims selected BY Mcneil was
a man who had a wife end several children,
dependent altogcthef upon his daily labor for
their support Young mAn, kncEiug the con.
dition Of the family offered himself 10 Mcneil
az a substitute for the husband and father,
wae accepted, and was one Of the Ten who
we're shot"
History furnishes but few such noble
acts as the one recorded above. No lau.
rels won at the lannon's mouth can com
pare with the cool, calm horoism Of this
noble youth, who voluntarily gave his life
to restore to a helpless wife and children a
husband and father, and save them from
being thrown on the cold charities Of q
heartless world. Who is there that would
not rather fiji his grave. rebel though he
MAY have been. than wear the gilded uni
form Of the butcher McNEn. whose soul
is stained with the blood of this noble
man and his nine i'll fated comrades ?
The mothers of the land will teach their

act of humanity, and to hate and scorn
the butcher-iend whose bloody inhumani-
ty has scarce a parallel in civilized conn
