Col. John A. Logan.

This gentleman, the Colonel of the 18th
Illinois regiment, fell wounded in the se
verest part Of the fight at Fort Donelson.
We are not advised whether his wounds
will prove fatal to him but we trust they
will not. He is the distinguished Rep
resentative in Congress from what is called
the Egyptian district, and for some time
after the war began, he was charged by
the Republicans with being traitor
They had no other grounds to predicate
the charge upon than that lie was a Dem.
ocrat and opposed to emancipation. He
has given the lie to the charge by pouring
out his blood upon the battle field in de-
fense Of the Union under the Constitution,
while those who made the charge have
remained at home to heap their ISLANDERS
upon other Democrat
When in the thickest of the fight and
his brave men fell fas. around him, gal
lantly he cheered them on, and fearless
himself Of the enemy's bullets that were
pouring upon them like hail, shouted tc
them thus: "Suffer death. men, but dis
grace never; stand firm; yield never"
They did stand firm, and even wher
nearly all their officers were either killed
or wounded, they fought on, and were
dobtless the means of bringing the battle
to close as soon as it did His whole
regiment was from what the Republicans
in derision, call Egypt. in Illinois, be-
cause it is almost unanimously Democrat
ic. Democrats have been the mainstay
in this war, which they are fighting to
uphold the Government, and not destroy
it, as some pretended patriots would have
them do. Had it not been for such mer
as Mcclellan, Stanton, Halleck, Logan
Buell., and the brave Col. Lawler, wh'
fell at Fort Donelson, and hosts of others
who are Democrats and enjoy the esteem
confidence and respect of the Democrat
party, W at would have become of tn
country in this dreadful crisis? Heavel
only knows.
Such men fight not for their own glor,
or the aggrandizement of others, but fol
their country and nothing else All hon
or to them say we-a grateful country
will honor the living and cherish the mem
ory Of those who have fallen Terre HUT

From the report Of Mr.. Mansfield,
State Commissioner Of Statistics. for
1861, we derive the following fact and
figures Of general interest:
MALES CAPABLE OF BEARING ARMS.
The proportion Of males in Ohio over
1S years Of age, is 40 per cent. The
whole number OF males in the State is
1,169,7 The number of females over
1S years Of age, 573,202. The whole
number Of males capable of bearing arms,
according to established rules, is 523. .566.
The proportion of those which NAV be
kept in military service without seriously
imparing the industry of the State, is
the important question in raising troops
for the war. Until there is such re.
ducton of labor as will reduce the
amount Of agricultural and manufactur-
ing products, the draft upon the male
population does not seriously niure the
prosperity of the State. In Europe, about
one fifth part of the whole people are in
the regular armies in time of peace, and
it is continual draft on the industry of
the State. The proportion may be
maintained in military service for a war
OF two or three years, without materially
reducing industry, but when it becomes
continuous it is exhaustive This would
diminish crops and exhaust our surplus
wealth. One fifth of the able bodied
men of Ohio ia, 300) could be spared
for war of several years duration,
without these evil consequences. In a
period of two or three years we could
spare &c, 1000 more.
MARRIAGES IN 1861.
During 1861 there we're 22, ,251 mar
riages in Ohio, which is | in each 1O5 of
population, which is the highest ratio
among civilized nations.
NATURALIZATION.
During 1861 there were IL ,235 natur.
alizations, of whom 5,849 were German
2,l0S Irish, the residue English, Welsh
Scotch, French, &c The numb Der natur.
allied last year was 10,479. In the las,
three years 30,705, or 10000 year
indicating an annual increase for 1859
6O-61, Of 60, 900 persons. OF the whole
number of naturalized persons, 9,15G
were German.
CRIME.
The number of indictments for 1861
was 1927; convictions 1874, of which
724 were crimes against persons, 400
against property. Crimes against soci-
ETY., 1,422.
VIOLENT DEATHS.
The number of violent deaths returned
for 66 counties in 1861, were 621, 10(
more than were returned for so counties
in lS6O-up to July LIST each year, Th'
number of homicides in 1861 was 1:
less chan in 1860; of suicides 13 more
and of casualties 81 more. 1t is re-
marked that suicide has been Increasing
of late years, owing to disturbing causes
in the commercial world and the war.
Casualities-particularly serious rail
road accidents-increased. Homisides
have been caused chiefly by intemperance

Tired of II.

A friend--a republican--writes us
from Ohio that he is tired--yes, sick of
the Niger question. We would to God,
that the whole party was in the same
state of mind, and then the whites could
hope for something at the hands of our
present Congress. The necessities of the
soldiers and our country would receive
some attention. Let those of that party,
of the niger, urge their friends to drop
him, for time at least. When twenty
five millions of whites are suffering,
it is time for us to turn our sympathies
homeward. When our country is bank
rupt and divided it is time for us to look
after its interest. Who but an abolition
disunionist would not get sick at the fol,
ly of our present congress ?-Freepor1

LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE.

Always look on the sunny side,
And though life checkered be.
A llghtsome heart bids care depart,
And time fly pleasantly;
Why sit and mourn DER fancicd ills
When danger is not near
Care is sell consuming thing
That hardest nerves can wear.
Always look on the sunny side,
And though you do not find
All things according to your wish,
BE not disturbed In mind
The greatest evils that can come
Are lighter far to bear,
When met by fortitude and strength
Instead Of doubt and fear.
Always look on the sunny side
There's health in harmless fest,
And much to soothe our worldly cares,
In hoping for the best.
The gloomy path is far too dark
For happy feet TO tread.
And tells of pain and solitude,
or friends estraDged and dead.
Always look on the sunny side,
And never yield to doubt;
The WAYS of Providence are wise,
And faith will bear you out.
II you but make this maxim yours,
And in its strength abide,
Believing all is for the best
Look on the sunny side.

The Union will be Saved under
the Constitutions.

While our towns and cities are alive
with every expression of the general JOY
of the loyal for the great Union victories
the armies are advancing on TO frcSl
achievements and soon those twin enc
mics of this glorious country, the Eman
cipation and Secession conspirators a
gainst the Constitution our fathers sci
up. will be overwhelmed in Waterloo
defeat. The man who comes forward
now to urge that the only way ont of the
present troubles is by the red pathway OF
servile insurection, insults the bravery
Of the noble soldiers who are saving the
country. Thanks to the glorious Com
mander. in, Chief, thanks TO Burnside,
Buell. and Halleck, to Dupont, Gotdsbor-
ough and FOote. the Union is to be saved
under the Constitution. This, as sure as
il is that the sun shines, will reunite the
whole land of Washington under one

A PRAYER FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS.

God of Armies, throned In splendor,
At Thy shrine we kneel in prayer,
Guard our soldiers mid the battle,
Take, oh. take them meath Thy care
And when duty's voice shall call them,
Let no harm--no i'll befall them !
Shield them, guard--protect them,
Husband--Father-Chil and Brother
To Thy care, in tears we yield them,
Weeping Wife-the Sister-Mother
God Of mercy, guide-direct them
May Thy Strong right arm protect them
Meath Columbia's starry Banner,
God, protect them in the right
Save our soldiers mid the danger
Father, lead them in the fight
God of ENTHUSIASTICALLY
To Thee we look--to Thee we call
Brothers, 60 the Union save
Or fill noble soldiers grave

THE NEW YANKEE DOODLE.

Away down South in other days,
They used to sing so handy,
The tune our fathers loved to sing
OF Yankee Doodle Dandy
And Hail Columbia once they sang,
But now they've grown uncivil,
The starry spangled banner, too,
They hate 1t like the devil.
And the flag, the brave old flag,
No more with them will take, sir,
They've buried that, and in its place,
They've got a pesky snake, sir!
But we're the boys to keep the flag,
That Washington fought under;
Long wave that flag, that good old flag,
The Stars and Stripes, by thunder |!

The Sad Side OF the Picture.

The following private letter, written
by former aHache of the New York
Post office, presents another side of the
victory gained at Fort Doueson, from
that which is generally contemplated
FoRT DoNELsoN, TENN.,)
Feb. II, 1862.
MY DEAR FATHER-Sad, lonely and
hearted, l attempt to write you a
few lines to let you know that / am alive
and unhurt. We have had most
bloody fight there must have been from
five to seven thousand men killed and
wounded on both sides. But the enemy
surrendered ON Saturday evening, we ta-
king about thirteen thousand prisoners
But, dear father, the hardest part of the
story is that of eighty.five men in my
company, only ven came out-the mos
wholesale slaughter that was ever heard
of.
My company was the color company
at which the rebels took particular aim
as fast as one who carried it was shot
another would take his place; but the fal
was brought through. Only one hun
dred and sixteen remain in the Eleventh
! Regiment uninjured.

POPPING CORN.


And there thew sat Popping corn,
John stiles and Susan Gutter;
John stiles es stout ss any OK,
And Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn.
And raksd and stirred the fire,
And talked Of different kinds Of ears,
And hitched their chai,s up higher.
Then Susan she the pepper shook,
Then John be shook the pepper,
Till both their faces grew as red
As saucepans made Of copper.
And then they sheiled aud popped and ale,
And kinks o. fun a-roking,
And he haw-hswed at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped. and still they ate,
tJOhH's month was like a hopper.)
And stirred the FIRE, and sprinkled saIt,
And shook and shock the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten,
And stu the corn kept popping;
ltsiruck eleven, and then stTnck twelve,
And still no signs Of stopping.
Ard John be ate, and Sue she thought
The corn did pop and pa;,er,

Why Susan, what's the matter!"
Said she, "John stiles, it's one O'Clock:
