Who Expected III

Who would ever have supposed fifteen
months ago that JOha s. Garlic would
to day be joined hand in hand with the
secessonistsin the work OF destroying
the confidence Of the people in the Gov
eminent, Who ever expected then TO
see him meeting in secret night eau
Gus with C. L. Vallandigham, D. W.
Voorhees,, and other such disloyalists.
1t was predicted hundred times to
US that such would be the upshot of his
course by those who professcd to know
the man intimately. In sorrow and
sore disappointment we now acknowl'
edge our delusion. He has cruelty de-,
ceived us all, In this dark hour Of the
nations trial he is not with us.

are pretty good grounds for the charge.

PUTNAM CouNrY, Angus, s, 1862.

PUTNAM CoUETY, August s, 1862.
Mr.. Editor Your suggestion "that
the military force Of this section Of coun-
Try be called out and employed in garri.
son duty in The Valley meets the ap.
probation Of the loyal men Of this county,
SO far as have heard an expression Of
opinion. We now begin 10 look the
thing square in The face, and see that
self-preservalion requires that we should
all take hand-in some ocay or another.
The fact that three Federal and three
rebel companies have been made up in
this small county will make volunteer
ing an uphill business--os most of
those remaining, that could 60 in for
the war ere of the Secesh persuasion, and
of course will not volunteer 10 The Fed
.eral ranks-but will do all they can to
keep other from volunteering Owing
to these facts, we will gel bu; very few
volunteers in this county. Tlen let us
have the entire militia called out, or a
draft, ! would like TO make these seces.
sion sympathiscrs lend helping hand TO-
wards putting down this uuholy war,
which hey have been instrumental in
bringing, at least upon this part of the
country, or skedaddie, (Pd prefer the
latter. as their Groom is more accepta-
bic than their company.") They are
getting badly scared about bCirg drafted,
anditis astonishing to see how thel;st of
lame, blind, deaf, &C., is increasing. -
Why, sir, il the militia shcad be called
out, or drafting commsnced, llere would
not be a sound secession sympatbizcr in
the county in zen days; those that could
not limp, be blind or deaf, would leave
Tor Dixie, we would Then have peace ana
.r'euiy. 1t is to be hoped that Cover
nor pierpoint will have an eye to these
things, and not expect Union men TO do
all the fighting, and leave tie rebel
symparhizers at their home; attending
to their various pursuits, and to circu.
late secesh Hcs, 10 frigbten the wives and
children of the Union men who are bat
ding for their liberties, No let's have
them alfoat in the ranks Of the Union
army or out of tie country, This is the
desire Of the loyal men and women Of

gent orders issued from the War De.

That, Senator Garlic, by placing
himself under the lead Of the raror Val.

goni2atIon Of a party hostile to the policy
and measures of the administration for

and abused the trust reposel in him by
a loyal anx confijng constituency WHO
