Our people will know how to appreciate sucn

in the above paragraphs. Mr., Cox has iabored
for his constituents as few members OF Con-
press ever did, and has accomplished many
things to their lasting advantage. They are
Justly proud of their Representative and such
efforts to ridicule him as the Springfield Ns'o'

precedented majority at the approaching elec'

The great influence and experience he has
acquired as Legislator, during the years ne

passage Of the important bill establishing Ma
tiopal Arsenal in the Cisy of Columbus; and
they will enable him to do much more that shall
be of substantial advantageto TO bis District, and
to the entire State. All this is appreciated by
the people as it should be. They will see to it,
that Justice ia done, and also, that such sneerd

The United states navy.

One year ago we had only eighty-eight vea-
sells Of war of all kinds, Of which thirty were
steamers. Now we have two hundred and ninety
two vessels. OF these eighty have been built
within year. Since the war began nearly two
hundred vessels have been purchased and fitted
for the naval service.
The new steamers that have been constructed
during the past year, are classified as follows:
Wooden gunboats Quilt by contract) twenty
three; wooden gunboats (by the Navy Depart
rnent) nine; side-wheel steamers (by the De
partment) twelve; steam frigates (by the De-
partment) four; iron-clad gunboats 10y contract)
seven; rams nine; iron-plated vessels sixteen
making total of eighty vessels, all Of which
except the -clads and the four steam frgates,
are finished and afoat.
Here is feet of almost three hundred war
vessels, nearly all of which are propelled BY
steam. The number of rams, 1t is said, can be
rapidly Increased, when desired, BY fitting iron
beaks on such steam craft as are heavily built,
to be used in sinking or destroying wooden yes
sells. The United States are, therefore, entitled
to the rank Of first GLASS naval power, If not
of the frst naval power Of the world.

old Democratic party. He was party man, -
Parties were essential to public liberty. Politics
and the war must be separated. We had
right tolcriticise the acts Of the Administration,
aud would do 1t freely. We must watch its
conduct closely, and if the President does not
do right, we must and would at the end OF his
term put in another man. The President must
himself obey the Constitution and laws, and re-
spect the rights of the citizen. The Democratic
party demanded this and meant to have it.
The President would be held to strict reepon
sibility for all violations of law, Constitution
and right The liberties Of the people and the
reserved rights of the States must me respect

party was for the UOion, and always had been,
and was now for it's restoration, and you know"

THE FIRE LAST EVENING 'etWeen seven
and eight o'clock last evening, FIRE broke out
in the upper story of the Planning Mill and
Door and Sash Factory of Henry Doremus, To-
Gated on East Walnut street between Town and
Rich streets, When discovered. the FIRE had
made such headway, that scarcely anything
could be saved from the inside of the building.
The arrival of the fire engines served to save
the other buildings in the vicinity, some Of
which were in imminent danger.
Mr.. DOremus's building was entirely consum-
cd, with the exception Of the walls, which are
Of brick. II is supposed that IL must have
been SET on Are bv some evil-disposed person.
The loss is severe one to Mr.. Doremus, as In
addition to the building, much valuable ma.
chinery and large amount of finished work
were destroyed.

The New York Tribune of July 81, closes an
editorial article With the two following SEN
fences:
If every rebel now in arms were dead or q
prisoner, and the leading conspiratots were fu-
eitives from justice, there would be little loyal
ty in the South 30 long as slavery should be up
held there, and new rebellion would break out
within dozen years. Slavery has seen fit to
make an issue Of life and death with the Union;
and the fact must be recognized and acted on or
the country is undone.
This is stating, in terms as plain as words
can make Il, that the object which the Aboli-
ton Republicans are aiming at in this war is
the determination of slavery. Loyal men of
Ohio are you prepared to aid in the accom-
plishment of this object If not, cut yourselves
off from every organization that associates or
co-operstes politically with these disorganizers
and destroyerS of the Union our fathers made

and not for the freedom Of negroes.

FalsehOods-The Circles
Vile URiOn.

The game Of the Democratic leaders, In this
Congressional District and throughout the
State, is to obtain political power by inducing
Democrats neither to enlist nor obey draft.
We find the above falsehood in the last num-

the purpose Of keeping Republicans from enlist

1t is very we'll known, that an immense ma
iority of the soldiers now in the Union Army
are Democrats; and that If the new regiments
are raised by voluntary enlistments, and the
old ones filled in the same way, 1t must be done
to great extent from the ranks Of the Democ-
racy and other conservatives. In view of this
knowledge, and In order to save the Constitu-
tion and the Union, RANNEY, JEwETT, PAYNE,

pealing to the people to come forward and en-

WHAT A Cow HAS DONE FOR THE WAR -
We heard OF an incident yesterday which should
make come OF our rich men blush who are
subscribing their paltry fves and tens to the re-
cruitins funds OF their several localities. IL was
this:
A few days since subscriptions were set on
foot in Orleans county. A farmer OF moderate
means contributed hfty dollars and COW. Every
one conceded that this was liberal; but it oc.
Cured to friend that the COW might be turned
to excellent account Lots we're to be cast for
her. and two hundred and five tickets, at one
dollar each, were distributed aud paid for
This, practically, brought up the farmers cub
scriplion to $255. But the COW was destined to
do still better. The winner put her up at auc-
tion, and thirty dollars more were added to the
fund-msking the aggregate $2S5. BUTT was
deemed pity that COW 80 thoroughly patriot
ic should be sold go cheap; and the result was
thst fifteen dollars were added to the purchase
money-makng the cows aggregate contribu-
ton to the fund $3.50, beside the fifty dollars
from her original owner.

SHOOTING OF SOLDIER BY THE PRovosT
GUARD--Yesterday forenoon, the Corporal of
the Proves. Guard, Leander Clou, Company X,
3sth Indiana, undertook to capture three SOL
diers of the 18th Regulars, whom he found on
Cleveland Avenue north Of Broad street. The
soldiers refusing to go with the Guard, attacked
him with stones and other missiles.
The Guard took refuge in Mr.. Liebold's gro
cery, and there loaded bis gun. PerceiviDg the
soldiers on the outside still making belligerent
demonstrations, no fred through the window Of
the grocery, the shot taking effect In the breast
and arm of one of the soldiers. The Guard
then reloaded his gun, and with the assistance
of Messrs. ]. L. Ring and John Brown, took
the three soldiers, and proceeded With them
through an alley TO Seventh street
Here the soldiers showed signs Of further re
Oistauce, the wounded man defying the Guard
to shoot again, At this instant officers Ed.

soldiers in charge. The wounds received by
the soldier who was shot, are said to be of ra-
