SPEECH OF HON, G, ', DORSEY

I.nrrs AND GESTLE,IEN BY the kind IN
citation Of the President of 8 widely exten-
dad order gathered to celebrate this day, am
,,errnitted to make a few remarks. am ex-
ceedlnglv happy to address 50 many Of my
fellow citizens of tie State of Ohio, gathered
here this day, peaceably and quietly, and
scarcely aware that all around you is war and
turmoil and blood-shed, and I echo most fer
vently the hope of your President who has
lust closed his address that when you meet
here again, one year hence, that the sound OF
war and of rumors of war, may be no more
heard throughout the land, and that you may
not only be an American people, but united
people.
Nv friends, that you are gathered here this
dav. under the protection Of law, and under
the protection Of this government is one OF
the best possible indications that you ought
to sustain that government
A widely extended and benevolent associa-
tiop meets here to-day, one that numbers
among its members thousands and tens Of
thousands of the best and most intelligent men
in the community, for the purpose Ofcelebra-
ting the anniversary of their Order, and are
protected by law and by the government un-
der which we live. But my friends, there is

II in nv heart to allow this opportunity to

Of the best Government that Almighty God
has ever permitted to be established among
men. and which rebels are now undertaking
to tear down to its very foundation.
There is not man listening to me to-day,
who has not deep interest in its support, in
its institutions and in putting down this re-
belion which is sapping the very foundations
Of our Government

600 men are now engaged in the war for the

them-in supplying them. They, to-day, are
perhaps pouring out their blood on the battle
field before Richmond, for the sake Of uphold

Enormous capture of Whales.

On Tuesday, the 8th instant, large shoal
of Gazing" whales were seen approaching the
land in the direction Of Whiteness. The vel
come news soon spread, and boats were quick
ly manned by brave men of all classes, fully
equipped with harpoons, lances, etc, to do
battle with these monsters Of the deep. IN
daunted by want of suecess and the inelemen-
cy of the weather, after considerable delay,
the men succeeded in bringing the pack into
the Voc of Weisdale When they got into
shollaw and muddy water, their assailants
finding some difficulty in landing them, and
no doubt wishing to enjoy the whole instead
of two-thirds of the proceeds OF their capture,
commenced to attack them at sea. The boats
being numerous, the whales close together
and, it is unnecessary to add, the men most
dexterous in the use Of the various instru-
ments of death, in a short time the whole pack
was, with few exceptions, either killed or
wounded. After being killed, the animals
were generally tossed ashore, but many es-
capped wounded from theircaptors, and, dying
from their wounds, sank. After lapse Of
twenty-four hours their carcases re-appeared
on the surface, and, being picked up, were
landed at places most convenient for the cap
tors. Owing to the great number Of places
at which they are landed, and the great dis
tances they are from each other, it is impos-
sible as yet to say the exact number captur-
ed. Some reports fix it at about 500, others
at 200; but probably 300 or 400 is more cor
rect. In the affray several boats were stove
in, and others were completely smashed and
their crews thrown into the sea; but fortu-
nately, all the men were rescued Immediate
ly, and nothing serious was the result The
news of this large capture of whales created
considerable excitement in Lerwick and on
Saturday several gentlemen proceeded to
Weisdale some on business and others on
pleasure, amongst whom were some gallant
rifemen, who had determined to try the ef-
feet OF their Enfield balls on the monsters OF
the deep. but were unfortunately too late

may look like hard way, but remember that
to-day you are fighting for the very existence
Of this Government, and remember too that
100000 men who are to be called out within
the next 80 or 40 days are to do battle for the
maintenance Of the government.
Now my friends, is this Government worth
preserving? It is not for ourselves alone; it
is not merely for this generation of men, but
for the unborn millions that hope are yet to
enjoy its blessings. For three-fourths of a
century we have been enjoying the benefits Of
this Government and extending the banners
of the Republic. Ny friends of Champaign
and its adjoining counties, and Miami and its
adjoining counties, you are called upon to raise
two regiments of men. Every man among
you has got to put his shoulder to the wheel.
If you cannot go yourself send a substitute to
the battlefield. Ifyou have not got the bone,
the muscle and the strength, you have got the
means to support some mans family who is
able and willing to go to the war therefore
give literally your means.
know we talk of the expense of this war.
Who ever heard of war that was not expen-
sive? For tmee-fourths Of century you have
been living in peace and prosperity such as
has never visited any nation, and now what
is your property worth if your Government
goes down? Your bank stock, your railroad
stock, and all your valuable property through
out the country? Answer me that. Your
wealth will be well invested if it takes one
half of it to support the Government
Look at the men of the South who are try
ing to build up a state of society based upon
negro slavery-they are giving their thOus-
ands and tens OF thousands, as well as their
labor, for the purpose of upholding the REBEL
ion; and shall it be said of the men of the
North and of the State of Ohio, that we with
held our means from the support of the best
Government the world ever saw You are
called upon to fight, with men and money, the
great battles of the Republic; and let me say
to you, one and all, acquit yourselves like men.
Be strong be valiant; for God never gave a
better cause to any man or set of men than
that which now calls for the men and means
of the North, for the purpose fsupporting this
great and good Government.

TIE final report Of Messrs Holt and Robert
Dale Brown, Commissioners on Ordnance con-
tracts, is made. They say, they have effected
a saving to the Government, on the contracts
for arms made prior to the accession Of the
present Secretary Of War, TO the amount of
SlIOOo0O0 They point out three errors in
these contracts.
First That twice as many arms were con-
tracted for as was needed.
Second; That Springfield muskets were
contracted for at $50 a piece, although SIG
afforded fair profit to the manufacturer, and
plenty of manufacturers were willing to fur
nish them at that price.
Third. That there has been a total disrs-
gard of the act of March 20, 1909, which re-
quires all such contracts to be preceded By
public advertisements.

Vanity FAIR is severe on Fremont 1t
says:
With the Zoe most formidable and active all
around them, this Major-General throws US
his command and comes to New York, his
excuse being that the appointment Of General
Pope " degrades" him. But he doesn't resign.
1t is understood that he is still a MJor-Gen-
eral in the army, drawing his pay the same as
ever; and it is whispered in certain quarters
that another department" will be given this
man. Very good. But let it be depart
ment in Fort Warren, for the General who
deserts his command and his country upon so
ainsy an excuse as Fremont gives, ought to
be shut up. In some countries he would be
shot. We respectfully suggest to Mr.. Seere-
tary Stanton that If it be right to keep Gene
raj Stone in close confinement all this time
without letting that officer or the public know
what earthly reason there is for his incarcera-
ton, that the Imprisonment Of John G. Ere
mont, who, as everybody knows, has proved
a precious humbug, might not be entirely i'm
proper. We are sick of Fremont He Is the

names. while there wasnot one Of q large NUM-
Der Of German women, who received money
that could not sign her name IN legibie man

THERE is also reason to believe that the
President receives no small amount Of advice
from politicians, who intrude upon him with
their opinions, and who are sometimes rather

less proposition for emancipation is adopted

Oh. What a Fan Was There !

CoNrMoDoRE TATSALL is to be courtmartial-
ed, at Richmond, for ordering the Merrimac
to be blown up. This vessel was the Rebel
pride and protection; she had sunk the Cum
berland, captured the Congress, ana retarded
our movements and to abandon her, ignobly
to blow her into thousand fragments, and
leave the holy cause and the sacred soil
without protecting Merrimac, certainly de-
serves death and preliminary torture. So the
torture has begun, and the death may follow.
At any rate, the old veteran, Josiah Tatnall,
the nobest Roman of them al" is to be
court-martialed and dealt upon at once.
Tatnall is a native of Georgia an impetu-
Gus, impulsive man, easily inaamed and ex-
cited as easily depressed, by no means de-
void of honorable principles, and yet more
frequently led by impulse and passion.
After long and gallant service in our Ma
w, he entered into the Mexican War with
great impetuosity; carried the little steamer
Spafre directly under the guns of Juan, at
Vera Cruz, and only escaped being sunk by a
miracle. He bore the flag irreproachably in
every sea afterwards; impulsively carried his
vessel to the aid OF the English at Tensin ex-
claiming, Blood is thicker than water" and,
at length, heart-broken at this Rebellion, obey
ing the Internal call of States Rights, left the
Navy, shedding bitter tears, and sacrificing to
shadow, honor, glory service and name.
No man who deserted the flag had bis heart
so little in the Rebellion as Tatnall. Andnow,
after this service, and all this secrifce, he is,
in his old age, cleft naked to his enemies !"
arraigned because he could not, by reason of
her heavy draft, carry the misshapen, water
logged, iimber-strained, Monitor-beaten old
Nerrimac up the James river, when Huger
was flying in panic from Norfolk, and the roads
were full Of ships ready to latter her to pieces
or run her down or, like Touchstone in the
play, to "kill her in an hundred and fifty
ways"
Poor old Tatnalll His pwas full before
this is the last drop; it will work eftctually.

A Good Joke all Around.

There is a quaint humor attached to some
body connected with the Rochester Express
that breaks out in spots occasionally in that
sheet, as witnesses the following: A gen

family purchases on Saturday evening, step
ped into an oyster saloon on Main street, to
refresh himself with a stew While thus en-
gagged. friend who had followed him in, ab-
stracted from his groceries a package contain
ing pound of coffee, and having cmptied it,
re-GIled the paper with sawdust and restored
it to its original place. The mistake was not
discovered till the following morning, when
the wife of the injured man prepared his
breakfast Laboring under the misapprehen-
sion that the grocer had swindled him, the
husband returned the sawdust in The morning,
and Indignantly demanded, and finally receiv-
ed, its equivalent in Old Java. The unhappy
grocer, who is VIGOROUSLY subject to fits Of
absent mindedness," declared most solemn
" that it was unintentional, and that, really,
it was little the worst mistake he ever com
mittcd! What renders the transaction still
more perplexing is, that for the life Of him
he cant remember Whers he got the sagcdust p
