Curious Remains.

An interesting discovery has recently
been made at Pompeii. In one of the
rooms of a house was found a heap of sill
YER and copper coins, 500 ormore in num-
Der, which had been tied up in a bag
At the same time, and neal rhe same spot
were found two large sheslf and a house
mill of the ordinary description, together
with a little heap of corn, the grains
though blackened and somewhat shrivel-
led, fully preserving heir shape and but
little diminished in size. On the next
morning the exertions of the excavators
were rewarded by the discovery of an
oven, the mouth of which was closed by a
large iron door. On opening the door,
there came to view the entire batch of
loaves, such as they were deposited in the
oven 1888 years ago. There were 80 in
number, and in all characteristics except
weight and color precisely as they came
from the bakers hands, Previous to this
time, but two loaVes had been discovered.
These loaVes are circular, about nine
inches in diameter, rather fiat and linden
ted, evidently with the elbow, J in the
center; but they are slightly raised at the
sides, and divided by deep lines radiating
from the center into eight segments.-
They are of a deep brown color, and hard,
but exceedingly light.
The scoop with which the loaves were
placed in the ven was also discovered.

QUARREL before the election when threats
were made by Brown. Another misnnder-
standing between them arose from the
shooting of a dog belonging to Bollemyer,
by one of Browns ons
Great excitement was caused in Dayton
by the affair. A dispatch from Dayton
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, on the I'd
says:
Several hundred persons collected for
the puapose of taking him from jail and
hanging him. The mayor promptly quel-
led the riot.
In the afternoon the crowd again col
lected in larger numbers around the jail,
but no demonstrations ofany consequence
were made.
About Z, P. NJ, the mob again assem-
bled and proceeded to the jail with two
swivels for the purposes of breaking down
the Jail door and dragging Brown out
to be executed
The guns ware captured by the police.
A few shots were fred, and tour persons
were wounded, one severely.
At 10 P. NJ. all is comparatively quiet.
The mayor early in the evening tele-
graphed to General Wright for a military
force TO assist him in preserving the peace,
and at half past eight five companies left
this city and arrived at Dayton at ten
p. NJ.

years a resident of this place. He was
a young man of fine talents, and excellent
social qualities.

Indications of More Indian Trou.
bles.

Indian Agent Hoffman arrived here
yesterday in company with the principal
Chief of the Ponka Indians, located on
the frontier of Dacotah and Nebraska
The noble v comes here to verify or
disprove the existence of the Federal
Government-rumors of its destruction
country, and the fear having become Sc
rious that the day of annuities was past.
Mr.. Hoffman brings information deriv-
ed from this friendly tribe, that the bands
of hostile Sioux, lately driven from Min
nesota, propose to make a combined dem
onstration in the comingyear against Forts
Berthold and Pierre. The delay in this
enterprise is to give time for organization;
and this they expect 10 accomplish dur
ing the Fall and Winter. A belligerent
spirit is already manifested by many Of
the tribes occupying the valley OF the
Upper Mississippi; and numerous Instance
have occurred this Fall of teamers being
fred into and persons wounded; while
descending that river. From this reason
its navigation has become exceedingly
dangerous. All the Indian agencies
above Fort Randall have been abandoned
by thsir agents, who do not dare TO stay
there during the winter; and the condl-
ton of the settlements in that region, of
which there are many, Is regarded as
very precarious.
Altogether, there is cause for serious
apprehension that the Indian difficulties
in the northwest are not so fully settled
as late events seemed TO indicate. These
facts, with the temper of the tribes on the
Canadian frontier, give occasion for live
" apprehension that another Spring may
preoipitate the troubles which we appre-
hended for the present Fall.

Who Shall have Canada 2

Not many weeksago. Lord Palmerstown
publicly proclaimed that he. as Prime
Minister of England, did not feel anxious
for the continuance of Canada as a Brit
ish colony. He was echoed by Lord Rus
sell. Both were disguised with the Cana
dian Parliament, because it declined GO
ing to great expense to raise and maintain
a large militia force. under pretext of de-
fence against American invasiOn-a thing
which has not even been spoken by Amer
leans. At the close Of last month, Mr..
Gait, formerly Prime Minister of Canada,
addressed the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce on the relations between Cana
da and England, saying hat were Canada
turned adrift, she would retain a most bit
ter feeling toward Great Britain, and i'm
mediately join the United States. The
answer made by Manchester, through Mr..
Ashworth, a leading man, was, that the
quicker the Canadians took themselves
off, the better England would like it.

The Oil CITY.

The Oil City Register gives the following
review of the oil business, for the week
ending Thursday:
The old market has been brisk since
our last report, and prices still higher
We quote the range of the week at 81 to
$3.50 per barrel at the wells, and we have
heard of several who have refused the
latter figure. Transactions have been lin
tied during the week, as producers don't
seem to think that oil has reached its
highest rate, by a good deal. We give
the following as some of their reasons for
holding out for more remuneratiye prices:
LIST. That the oil has a higher intrinsic
value than has yet been given for it; that
the principal markets of this country and
Europe will consume more than we can
produce, and as it is the cheapest and
best light known, at even more than
double the present prices, consumers
must have it.
I'd. That the daily flow of oil is decreas-
ing, the present daily flow of the whole
region being estimated at scarcely 1000
bbls., and more than half of this will be
needed for our own refineries, and about
1000 bbls. per day is being sent forward
to Titusville, leaving but a small balance
for Pittsburg and other points.

Iowa.

The impression that Iowa was saved to
the Union by the soldiers votes is an er-
ror. The Republican Union party major
ity on the home vote alone is nearly dou-
BILE the usual figure. To this handsome
surplus the vote of the Iowa regiments
will add many thousands. She has forty
nine regiments and four batteries in the
field, a very large proportion of whom are
voters, and, as we have shown by partial
returns, more than four-ffths of the 20
tiers are Republican Unionists. OF the
six members of Congress, five were cleo
ted by home votes-only N Mr.. Grin.
nell of the WITH District) owing his sue
cess to the votes of the soldiers.
The wrath of the Democratic leaders
and newspapers at this army voting is
pretty carefully concealed, but it breaks
out now and then. The Chicago Times,
active rebel sympathizing sheet, says
the vote of the soldiers is all one way, as
was TO have been expected" meaning, OF
course, that nearly all the men carrying
muskets were Republicans, Democrats,
party, not only refuse to go to the war,
but their leaders hold that the man who
fights for his flag is not worthy to vote
for his officers. They would disfranchise
the army sooner than lose a chance to win
the spoils of office.-TTi6Ume.

Union Masks Thrown OFF.

The Butternpts of Mansfield had a jol-
LITIGATION Saturday evening yer their
victory in the Congressional District. 1t
was regular Democratic blow out" The
principal speakers we're VIM. johnson,
the Congressman elect and Ex-Judge
Barley. According to the Mansfield
He5a5fs report, no words were bitter
enough to depeqpee the Government. 1t
says:
Slavery was held up as the syn of all
good, and emancipation condemned as
everything bad. While We heard the
President maligned-the war ~stigmatized
as "abolition"-the Union party and its
principles Sunderland everything pat
riotic ridiculed-we did not hear one
word in condemnation of the rebellion,
and the traitors engaged in it. Had any
one, ignorant of the rue state of affairs,
heard these harangues, he would have
been convinced that Lincoln was a tyrant,
and that the South was nobly defending
itself against despotism. These gentle
men who had a sort Of mealy-mouthed
patriotism before the election, now that
they have triumphed, show their hand.
If they had so spoken in a Southern State
for the Union, every mothers son would
have been hung.

The AMERICAN EAGLE "AROUND."-The
Buffalo Commercial publishes the follow
ing extract from the letter of an Illinois
soldier at Corinth:
The finest thing | ever saw wa a live
American eagle, carried by the Sth Iowa,
in the place of Il flag. 1t would fly off
over the enemy during the hottest of the
fight, and would return and seat himself
on his pole, clap his p%inions, shake his
head and start again. Many and hearty
were the cheers that arose from our lines
as the old fellow would sail around, first
to the right; then to the left, and always
return to his post, regardless of the storm
of leaden hail that was flying around him.
Something seemed to tell US that the bat
tie was to result in our favor, and when
the order was given to charge, every man
went at them with fixed bayonet, and
the enemy scattered in all directions,
leaving us in possession of the battlefield.

Democrats Carrying a RebsI Flag.

The Knox County Express says that at
the tory Jubilee" which was held at
Mount Vernon on Saturday, TO celebrate
the recent election, delegation from the
eastern part of the county carried a Sc
c~ession, Confederate flag. After hearing
Vallandingham, these pretended Union
Democrats on their way home shouted
and hurrahed for the traitor, JEFF. Davis,
and the rebel General. Stonewall Jackson.
This shows that the Democratic party are
in sympathy with the rebels, and also
what kind of company the loyal Demo
Gratis and some misguided Republicans
have been training with during the re-
cent political campaign.-CZsvs. Leader.

How the Union Ticket in Indiana
was Defeated.

The indianapolis Journal says:
The philosophy of the defeat of the
Union ticket don't lie at the bottom of
any puddle or well, neither in Slavery,
the war, the finances, nor the Presidents
Proclamation. II lies in the process of ma
king UOters Which the Election Board of Allen
county has discovered, a process that adds
300 voters, or so per cent, to the poll
list in two years. That explains themys-
terry. There is no philosophy about it,
nothing but fraud. When Allen can add
2,700, Adams 1000, Brown 800, Jackson
800, Bartholomew 1900, Madison l, 100,
Shelby 1000, Marshall 700, and fifty 9TH
Ell counties numbers proportionate to
these of voters in two years, it needs no
philosophy to tell where the secret of sue
cess of the winning party lies.

The Tax on Coal Lands,

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided-lst. The owner or lesses
of coal lands must have a dealers license
in order to be authorized to sell the pro-
duct. Producers of coal are not required
to take a manufacturers license. I'd.
Owners or lessees of coal lands who take
out the coal solely for their own use, as
manufacturers, must pay the tax. as the
coal is used for consumption. Sd. Coal
dealers whose sales are less than $500, are
liable to the duty; for not being manu-
facturers, the provisions of section seven
ty-three are applicable. 4th. Wagopers
who purchase coal by the load, from the
dealers, 10 sell to customers, are to be
rated as peddiers.

to elect Seymour Governor of New York,

Statistics and Memoranda,

Relating 10 The raising Of troops, and the draft
in Ohio, made for tie Secretary Of Var
STATE OF ONO, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBUS, October 26th, 1862. !
Fira-Ohio's quota under the two calls
of the President, each for three hundred
thousand, was about seVenty-four thous-
and.
Seooad-This number was duly appor-
toned among the several townships and
districts of the State, numbering fourteen
hundred and seventy, assigning to each
its Just quota to be raised, after giving to
each due credit for the force Heretofore
raised.
THird-Every preparation necessary for
the draft was made ready by the 18th of
September, but in view of the fact that
the loyal people of the State had, to a
great extent, been occupied in resisting
the rebel raid made upon our southern
border, it was considered but an act of
Justice to them to postpone the draft un-
til the first of October, which was done.
At the date of September 18th, the
number subject to draft was 2O,427. Be
tween that date and the lst day of Octo-
Der, about 5000 of this number Volun-
teered into the three years service, thus
leaving about twelve thousand to be draft
ed.
OF the lightweight counties, about
one-fourth of them escaped the draft en-
tirely. In the remainder, the work of
drafting commenced and was quietly pur-
sued and cheerfully acquiesced in until
completed.
Of the number thus drafted, more than
one-half, either in person or by substitute,
have since volunteered in the three years
service, and the good work still contin-
ues; so that it is now thought that we
shall have but three or four thousand of
the whole seVenty-four thousand demand
ed of US to organize into nine months SER
vice.
OF the recruits, about forty-eight.. thous-
and have enlisted into,,new regiments, and
the remainder. being about twenty thous-
and, into old regiments.

Seventy Ninth Birth Day.

Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, our townsman,
Comptroller of the United States Treas
ury at Washington City, was sev~enty-nine
years old last Sunday, October Goth. He
commenced his duties about the time
Lincoln was inaugurated-and although
a few months since he lost the sight of
his right eye-he has been absent from
his duties only four days. His health is
unusually good.
So says the Garfield Herald, and we
are glad to hear of Mr.. Whittlesey's good
health. There is no one of the entire
Treasury Department more prompt at
his desk than Mr.. Whittlesey, and that
portion of the Department under his i'm
mediate supervision is the pattern of or
der and regularity. 1t does an Ohio man
good to call upon Mr.. Whittlesey for he
is one of our jewels. How the courteous
gentleman gets along with his crowd Of
visitors is a mystery, but he always has a
cheerful recognition and a warm hand fol-
his friends, while his public duties are
ever in his eye. We never liked the ap-
pelation given Mr.. Whittlesey-"Cerebus
of the Treasury, for while he stands
right in the way of rogues who would dive
into the vaults, through base claims, there
is nothing about him, or his occupation,
that should liken him TO the tabled dog.
Cerebus was a dog with three heads,
who stood watch an the door of He'll to
keep the living out and the dead in
Nj. Whittlesey stands at the entrance Of
the Treasury to protect it against unjust
claimants, but Cerebus stood at the door
of the Internal regions to protect honest
people from being drawn in and to keep
the spirits of unjust men from escaping
the torrents of the damned. We would
rather liken our Elisha" to Peter at the
gate of Heaven. And long may he have
the physical strength to hold the keys of
our Treasury and give his example of
honesty, and industry to the present gen.
eration.-UeUelaad Hdrdd.

In the words of the Toledo Blade, they
boast that they, who stay at home to do
the voting, can bid defiance to the wishes
of those who have gone to do the fighting.
If such a cast furnishes reasons for pride,
then have the Democratic politicians of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indian cause ror
exultation but if not; they should be
reserved in their demonstrations Of joy.
We sincerely hope that the voting by
the soldiers wherever they may be, may
be legalized before the next election, and
if necessary that the constitution be soal-
tered, that it may be done. If they do
vote, a very different result will be shown
from that of TIE last election.

SwIxDLrSa THE SoLDIERs.-The North

SwINDLING Il SoLDIRRs.-The North
ampton Gazette says it has good authority
for the following statement
"a soldier was taken sick and sent to
the hospital. When he began to recover,
he craved some little delicacy to soothe
his nauseated palate, and asked for some
currant Jelly. He was told that he could
have the jelly but he must pay for it. He
could have a pot of jelly for 81. He had
but two dollars in his pocket, and with
that he was in hopes of reaching his home,
as o as he was able to travel. He told
his attendant that he had but two dollars,
and that as he did not need the whole
jar of Jelly, a small part would be sutfi-
cient. No, you must take the whole or
none, and you must pay g for it. Final
ly the invalid bought the jelly, and on
removing the covering he discovered to
his great establishment, within the wrap
per a note directed to himself, and that
this very jar of jelly had been sent by
his W family to him. This is but one
among the many outrages prepetrated by
the unprincipled men who are found in
the army"
