During the last hundred and sixty.two
years We have had nine wars without
counting Indian wars). aud all these to.
gether make fifty years of warfare. That
is to say, during the last century and a
half we have had one year Of war to about
every two years Of peace.
Our first war took place in the reign OF
William Ill and lasted from 1859 to
1887. William III, the champion Of
Protestant interest, waged long war with
the magnificent and proHigate Louis XIV,
of France. Could Puritan New Englan
refrain from lending helping hand Two
considerable expeditions sailed from Boston
against the northern French possessions,
both of which ended in sad wreck and oil
deprecated paper money. This war was
always styled by the colonists, "King
Williams War"
The next war, known as Queen Anne 4
war, began in 1902, and ended with the
peace of Utrecht in l7l3. Ii was in this
war that the great Marlborough won his
most brilliant victories. The brave and
generous sons of Massachusetts, again IS.
sailed the French in the North, and wrest.
ed from them the province of Nova Scotia,
conquest which the treaty of Utrecht con.
frmed.
After thirty years of peace, the third
war broke out, called King Georges war,
because it occurred in the reign Of George
ii. 1t lasted frosa 1744 to 1748. Once
more Massachusetts, with the aid of six
other colonies, sent northward mighty
armament, and conquered the stronghold
al Loulsburg. on the island Of Cape Breton,
an event that was celebrated in every
town, from Boston to Charleston, with
bonfres, fireworks, Examinations, barbe-
cues, and thanksgiving. The valiant
Yankee who commanded was kniphted
A&4hde Lieutenant General for his
conduit on this occasion. Sir William
Pepperrell he was thenceforth called.
Next came the long fierce war, in which
BIaddock fell, and Wolftook Quebec. and
all Canada and all India fell under the do.
minion of Britain, the war conducted by
William Pitt. In. Europe this war is
called the "Seven Years War !" but in
America, where it lasted more than ten
years, we commonly style it the "Old
French war" It began in 1853, and
ended with peace Of Paris, 10 1853. -
Glorious New England, noble seconded in
New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia,
bore the brunt Of this great contest.
Then came the war of the Revolution.
which lasted eight years then the rupture
with France in l79s; then the war Of
1872 then the war with Mexico and
this war Of 1861, in which we are now
engaged.
All the old French wars were mainly
fought and paid fer by New England ana
We have testimony Of Gen. Washington
himself that his great reliance during the
war OF the Revolution was upon Yankes
steadlness and ralor. In the war Of 1912
and the war with Mexico the Southern
States bore the full share; but it was New
England and New York sailors that Won
the battles on the sea and taught tho
world that the United States had n.vv

School Commissioner should be a man
thoroughly qualified to discharge the very
important duties of his office, desire to

cannot claim for him the doubtful hon
or of being an "author," or a "PrOf;" but
/ know that, for the last twenty years, he
has devoted his ample energies of mind
and body to the advancement of The cause
of common school education in Ohio.
One of the most essential duties en-
Joined by law upon the Commissioner is
to hold institutes and deliver lectures
among the people in behalf of educational
interests. No man in the State has had
longer experience or been in greater de-
mand as teacher in Institutes than Mr..
Cowdry; while, as lecturer, though not
graceful or fluent, none are more instruct
i've or entertaining to an audience Of
teachers or parents than he ) for, besides
being complete master of all matters per-
tanning to our common school system or to
the duties Of teachers and patrons Of
Schools, he has noble and enthusiastic love
of his subject which he never fails to COM
municate to his hearers. And assure the
people of Ohio that he will never prosti-
tute his Office to sell any book Of which
he may be the author, or to promote the in
terests Of any college in which he may or
may not be Professor and that neither
money or N enace can induce him to lend
his name CT influence to extend the sale Of
inferior textbooks, whether published in
Ohio or elswhere.

Justice and mercy. We say, that however
desirable his absence may be, We cannot
consent to procure Il by atrocious means.
To stimulate a man to get rid Of q COM
petitor by rufian violence Is to stimulate
him to got on the most sordid and selfish
principles. What are religion and NOR
ality good for, II they fail 70 restrain and
modify our selhshness, ifthey fail toproteot
the weak from the rapacity Of the strong,
if they fail to induce men to act towards
others, as they wish others to act towards
them? What are religion and morality
good for, If their restraints fail at the very
moment when restraints are needed, If
they are like rotten harness, which may
answer pretty we'll on level ground, but
breaks at the FIRST hill? There is no merit
| in refusing to hurl paving stones at the
head of a very nice, rich respectable man
who is never likely TO be competitor
with US for anything. The merit consists
| in refusing TO heave them at the head Of the
poor laborer, whose hungry necessities i'm
pei him to seek employment similar to our
own. But it is lamentable that under the
guidance of unscrupulous party leaders
and where numbers are concerned the
restraints of common morality are set at
defiance. It is just when a strain comes,
Just when moral principle is most neces-
sary, that all moral principle is found to
have been sapped and destroyed by the
arts of the demagogue. 0l if a faction
ever deserved strenuous opposition, it is
that faction which is now rising in the
North, under pretence of reviving the old
democratic party. 1t looks with malign
aspect on the interest and happiness OF
mankind But what if this outcry about
the fall of wages is mere humbug, mere
dictum of folly, originating in Ignorance
What if those editors who are getting uI
the excitement are just as deficient in
their knowledge of political economy, as
Judge Taney and his associates in the his
tory of public opinion2 What if the true
law of wages is, that as long as state OF
community is increasing in wealth and
numbers, the remuneration Of labor mus

Inninent Danrer in Kentucky.


The threatened rebel invasion Of Ken
tucky is being carried out with spirit and
force which puts our armies in that State
in a very precarious position. It cannot
bs denied or concealed that the armies Of
Generals Morgan and Buell. are in imminent
danger, and unless q tide Of fresh troops is
poured into the State to rescue them, they
nav all be cut off. Gen, Kirby Smith with
-f 6fteeu thousand men, has gained Gen. Nor
qan's rear at Cumberland Gap while
lsrre rebel force is upon the south side Of
the Gap, ready to make the attack stimuli
taneously with Smith. Gen. Morgan has
retreated to Barboursville, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if he can hold out until
-sipforcements reach him. He has de-
stroved one provision train for fear Of its
falling into the hands Of the enemy.
= Gen. Buell. is in equal danger The reb-
els have gained his rear, not only upon the
south of Nashville, but between that city
and Louisville, cutting off communication.
All Of Buelrs supplies were sent by this
road. and if he subsists at all now, he will

Under orders from the War Department.
the Governor will apportion among the
townships and wards of the several coun-
ties, the men to be drafted, with reference
to the volunteers contributed by them, that
is, each township and ward will receive
due credit for all the volunteers it has fur
nished. The sixth article of the order reg
ulating the draft, provides that the exig-
encies of the service require that officers
now in the field should remain with their
commands, and no officer in the field in
regular or volunteer service, will under
any circumstances be detailed to accept a
new command.

So far as heard from, we think that
Allen county must take the banner for
volunteers. With population of only
10, 1856, she has put into the field, up to
Thursday last, 1884 volunteers, and it was
confidently expected that by Saturday
night last the number would be increased
to 500. Well done, Allen. AT the same
rate, CuyahOga county should have about
