@ 1t is gratifying to every lover
Of the Union amongst US, to see, that
whilst in almost every other county Of
the State, the Breckenridge Democratic
papers are pursuinga course only inten-
ded to embarrass the Administration
and sympathize with secession, our
neighbor Of the Dispatch pursues the
"eyen tenor Of his way" firmly sup
porting the Union cause, and in no way
countenancing the insidious attempts
made by the Enquirer. Times. Empire.
and kindred sheets. to reorganize the
Buchanan Democracy. It speaks well
for the majority of the old Democracy
who are willing to sustain him in his
course. During this terrible struggle
for national existence, all party names
should go for nothing or be LAID aside.
After it is over, if it be necessary to
divide off into political parties, let it
be SO. but for the present let US stand
up shoulder to shoulder in defence Of
the Union, not as it was under Buchan-
an, but as under Jackson or Fillmore,
and for the Constitution as its trainers
intended it to be understood, and not
according to the destructive interpreta-
ton placed upon it by JEFF. Davis, VAL
landigham & Co. i9ia s4 1a ts5le

ES II has become '-6xt fakt" that
the celebrated horse Windhower, now
owned by Capt. JOSEPH w. DEvAcHr Of
Gallipolis, is thoroughbred imported
animal. originally costing $500. We
urge ali lovers Of good stock to see
this magnificent stallion. He is be-
yond all question the finest horse in
Southern Ohio.
Farmers, discard all scrub stock. 1t
costs no more to raise a good horse
than an inferior one, and when old
enough for market you will find ready
sale. We wish Gallia county to be
celebrated for raising fine stock. Capt
Devacht has furnished you the means,
avail yourselves of it, at once. Thi:
stallion can be seen at the stable Of Mr.
Phillips, near Gallipolis.

Rkr HuSr ExrRAoKDIEARr.-We
some time since gave notice Of a
rat hunt in progress in Springfield
township, Gallia county. The "last
day of the races" was the last Saturday
Of April. On counting "tails," Capt.
Koontz's company had 40 less than
Capt. Glassburn, the whole number be-
ing 1897. This result of course in
volved Capt. KOontz's party in the ex-
pense of, the supper. which came off on
the first Saturday Of May. and was at
tended by over 100 persons. Every
thing passed off very pleasantly. and
much TO the delight of the youngsters
who enjoyed the fun to the fullest ex-
tent. AS to the rats, "thOugh it was
sport 10 the b'hoys, it was death to
them" We like the spirit of our
Springfield friends in thus ridding them
selves Of the "pesky varmints." and
commend their example to the citizens
of other townships. and of GallipOlis in
particular. What say you, "EIome
Pets" "Girls" and "Ladies?"
The citizens of Springfield township
have arranged for another grand ever
min" hunt, to close on the first Satur-
day Of September next, captains HENRY
VAnrAr and GBonos SnIHLns Every
person in the county is invited to this
hunt. The parties will be chosen on
the last day, and then the "scalps" will
be counted. Afterward grand dinner

day to be devoted to music, speeches,
songs, dancing, and good time gener-
ally. A beautiful grove has been Sc
lected for the purpose, and every ar
rangement made to render every body
perfectly comfortable and happy. The
sentiment of the people in that section
is unanimously Union, and in order to
express it fully, and give new impe-
tus to their loyalty. this first Saturday
Of September has been selected, to lei
young America shake hands with ey.

re- We learn from authentic sour
ces that when Gen. Cox left Charleston
in his advance upon the enemy, be took
with him the only Union flag in the
place, leaving the flagstaff, which is a
very handsome one, in rather a naked
condition. Some Of the officers at that
post say itwould afford them great
pleasure "to have the ladies Of CALI
polls hoist flag in Charleston for the
citizens. Of the place to walk under"

Now ladies Of Gallipolis, what say
you? The case is before you. We
know If you choose to have it so, il
will be done. You have never yet
failed to accomplish any thing of the
kind, when once determined upon, mol
do we believe you will in this. If the
Union feeling among the ladies o.

H Ripe strawberries are becoming
very abundant in our market. Our
soil and climate seem we'll adapted to
this delicious fruit. and it is matter Of
surprise it is so little cultivated. Almost
every family owning a lot, could easily
raise sufficient for family use, il they
would but set about it. What is more
delicious than strawberries smothered
in cream? Yet how many seldom think
Of them, until the season is at hand and
the fruit in market, when they are
forced to the conclusion they are too
dear.to buy OFF bed about 20 feet
square, we this year have a most ample
supply for our family. and some to spare
to our friends. The labor attending
their cultivation, apart from the first
cost of the plants, amounts to about rs
cents. The fruit would cost us in the
market that sum daily, during the
season. Reader try it for yourself.

THE U. S. Hospital at this post,
under charge of Capt. @. W. McuIroE,
is progressing rapidly, and one build
ing, 13O feet by As, will be ready for
the sick at the close Of this week
Another building Of the same size is
also underway. How many more will
yet be required, we do not know. The
buildings are beautifully located on a
rising ground outside OF town, known
as Camp Darlington, with fine view
Of tbe river, where the air is always
pure and free from dust. The arrange
ment Of the buildings is most admirable
as to TeRtiIation, oleanliness and light.
They are strongly built, and in every
respect the fright thing in the right
place" The whole will be enclosed
with a substantial fence, and every
means adopted to render the sick and
wounded soldier comfortable. Indeed
it already looks SO cheerful and cozy,
we should almost agree to be sick a
short time, for the comfort Of being
housed therein and attended to, as we
know our ladies God bless them, are
bound to do. 3
To Capt. Moulton we are indebted
for the location of this hospital at this
point, and the energy which has been
manifested in the construction of it by
him and Mr.. Mullineaux, is deserving
Of the highest praise.

H General Butler is Democrat
Of the right stripe. He has had his
notions Of Democracy severely taxed,
by the manner in which the aristocratic
secesh ladies' of New Orleans manifest
their hostility toward Yankee soldiers,
despite OF all their efforts to act in a
gentlemsnly and becoming manner
Butler has issued an order to meet the
exigencies Of the case which win, we
opine, etfectually cure these lordly
danes of their insolence. It is to the
effect, that any woman insulting our
soldiers in the street, shall be considered
and treated as common bawd in pur-
suit Of her sEocation or trade. ~
No man but Ben. Butler could have
originated sogoOd joke. Hereafter
these delectable ladies will find two can
play at their game, and at least find it
dangerous business to expose them
selves to the uncontrolled passions OF
men, who, but for their repeated snsers
and insults, would die to defend them
from outrage. OF course it has been
used by Besuregard to fill the hearts
Of his ragamufins to renewed energies
against the ruthless invaders Of the sa-
cred soil. The news from Corinth,
however, shows all to be Of little avail.
