Who Want to Afrioanize the North!

| The Tories charge that the Republicans are
endeavoring to degrade and depreciate labor at
the North, by filling it up with emancipated
negroes. On the contrary, the anti-emancipa-
tion Democrats are the ones who would do
this. The Republicans are in favor of setting
| the slaves free upon Southren SOIL and letting
them remain there to work. The Democrats,
by opposing emancipation, favor the contin-
ued exodus of fugitives from bondage into the
free States of the North, which will go on as
long as slavery exists.
Another proof that the Republicans are not
tie ones who would fill the North with nc
groes will be found in the correspondence
which lately passed between Gen Dix and
Gov. Andrew, OF Massachusetts.
General Dix, Democratic General wrote
to Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts,
radical" Republican, asking him to make
provision for the care and support of four
hundred con!rabands then al Fortress Monroe.
Governor Andrew replied in very pertinent
letter, refusing TO do so in which be gave the
following reasons for his course:
lst. That as General DIX expected an at
tack from the rebels soon, the taking away of
the blacks would deprive him of a valuable ell
ement of strength, which, properly used,
would aid greatly in the defense Of the
fort.
I'd. That the North should not be made an
asylum for the negroes-a race, whose entire
organization and habit fitted them to live in
warm cline, and that, in case Of necessity for
this movement, the best place was Hilton
Head or some other Union foothold in the
South.
3D. That he had not the power in his official
capacity to receive them.
The above shows plainly, who wish to Arri-
eanize the North.-Leader.

LEBANON. NY, y Ov. s.
Lebanon is twenty miles distant from Per
ryville We made the march in one day. 1t
was as good day for marching as an army
could comfortably cool. and cloudy all
day. The roads were in tiAe condition. We
arrived here at sundown, and camped in a
meadow Just on the west of town. The day
closed with raw, chilly evening" with pros
meet of rain. which, about 10 O'Clock, develop
ed itself into a stern reality. Here we were,
without tent, with no covering but a canopy
Of dark clouds which seemed to have no more
respect for the comfort of humanity than the
authorities have for the I2Ist Ohio. Many
of the boys sought shelter in the neighbOring
barns, wagon sheds, or anything that woald at

ements As for myself, slept under tent of
home construction, made beside fence, Of
rails and corLfOdder. Mr.. Wages. of Della
ware, can give you a description Of it, as he
was a recipient of its comforts one night
The next day brolght us about twenty tents,
of small dimensions. They afford quarters for
comparatively few of the regiment. The re-
mainder have constructed themselves passable
quarters by setting rails on end, connecting
them at the top, and covering them with fod-
der. The men have no encouragement to Tx
for themselves, for it seems that aSs0on as they
make any preparations towards comfort, orders
come to move.
Orders have just come to march-expect to
go to jamestown, KY, on the Cumberland
River. l will write as soon as we make halt.
MONDAY, Nov. 10.-The orders to march
to jamestown were only rumors. We will
move to-day on the opposite side of Lebanon,
where our Brigade will be formed, consisting

which will come up sometime to-day. Colonel

The tine honered custom adopted by the

in each year for Praise, Thanksgiving aud

Especially at a time like the present, should all

vote themselves to teachings Of their Maker.
The effort made by the legally constituted
authorities of the laAd, to put down the wick

the best ever enjoyed by any people, in which
effort the gallant sons of Ohio have borne so
conspicuous and preud part, bas filled every

ded of battle, and to the hsrdships and sick
ness of camp life, and our system of Govern
ment, in foFm after Gods own laws, and so
gentle that its rsins we're scarcely felt By the
governed, is yet in peril.
Our Heavenly Father can console the dis

THE "IADIEs, MAK".

By his air and gait, the ultra fashionable
style Of his c'oihng, the killing curl of his
rnustache, the "look and die expression of his
simpering lace, his stream of small talk, and sun
dry other signs and tokens of plethora of van

tingaish at a glance the individual who plumes
himself upon being "ladies' man." His belief
in his own rresistability is written all over him.

some grounds for their selEconceit. 1t IS
sinCabitable that girls do sometimes fall in love

her dainty husband has no more of a mans
spirit il him than an automatic figure on a
Sayoyard s hard organ. But woman worth
a true mans love is never caught by such a
specimen OF ornamental hoIlow-ware. A sensi-

EDITOR ONO STATE JoURNAL-Dear SIR
Will you please give space in your valuable
paper for few words from a wounded soldier?
l was one Of the first 100000 three years men
called fer by the President Congress, previous
to this CALL passed all act granting to each
soldier 500 bounty, and they were TO serve
for period of three years, cor unless sooner
discharged" Those were the papers that
signed, but when Congress last met they speut
q portion of their time in robbng wounded
soldiers by passing an act that no soldier dis
charged under any circumstances was to re-
ceive a bounty, unless they had served two
years. Now | ask you, l appeal to the pub
lic if it is just. l served l6 months. My
comrade fell at the same battle, and at the
same time, but the poor fellow was killed. His
friends received his body. But was crippled
for life, and could be Of no more service to
them, and was discharged, and turned over to
the mercy of iriendless world without boun-
ty, and for what? Because 1 had not served
two years! On, YE GoDs! Now, l ask Of you
can they legally hold that bounty money from
me? They pay the relatives of a soldier that's
killed his bounty, and offer a reason that he
could not serve his time. But when a man is
so disabled from wounds received in battle as
TO be of no more use TO them or help for him
self either, he then is turned upon the world
to get his bread as best he eau. The soldiers
in the army and those discharged have got ev-
cry one of those who voted for that act mark
ed; and they would never get the Office OF City
Scavenger, had the soldiers their say in the
matter. Il may be q "big thing but don't
see it. Please inform me on the subject, and
oblge, Yonrs respectfully

We publish this communication from ''a

If the provision of the Act of Congress gov
erning this matter be construed as stated by
our correspondent it is manifestly very lame
law for lame soldiers, and ought to be correct
cd with all proper despatch. We cannot doubt
but that a provision providing bounty for a
disabled soldier is just as important and quite
as just as is paying the bounty to the friends of

temporary furnishes the following story:
Two young men both attached to the same
lady, and strange to relate, knew of each 9th
er's failing ard respected it like men. One
was drafted aud the other escaped. They both
met at the house of their lady love- who offer
ed to arrange the difficulty of their love, if
they pledged themselves mutually to abide by
the decision. An arrangement was promptly
and honestly made, when the young lady ar
ranged to marry the man who had been draft
ed, provided the other would offer himself as
substitute. The substitute offered, and the
marriage celebrated within "a hours after the
lady made the proposition. The parties to the
affair will not object to this notice, while those
who are not cognizant of the romance, may at
once commence inquiry for the names of the
heroes and heroine. This incident is not the
strangest which has been produced by the force
of war, and yet we must call it freak of love.

The PUGNAcIoUs RAM.-John B. Cough

was encouraging those who signed the pledge
to stick to it: "Stick toit, said he, "as the old
ram did to his butting." The fable is, that a
farmer had ram which would run his head
against everything in motion. The farmer
himself, was more than once butted over, and
he finally determined to break up his propen-
sity. So he tied heavy block of wood upon
q rope, and hung it on the limb of a tree
The block was set in motion, and the ram see
ing it moved toward him, hit it blow. This
sent it off, but it swung back. when the ram
hit it again. and so kept on doing. The far
rner watched him until it was dark, and left
him. true to his nature, buttiDg away. Early
in the morning, on going out to see how the
ram had Jared, be found that be had butted
himself all away, except part of his tail, and
