Affairs in Lake County.

MADISON, Lake Co., O., Aug. 10.
EDITORS LEADER in these exciting
times of war, it may interest your readers
to know that Madison is doing her duty.
Forty-two new recruits have enlisted
this week, which makes up our full quota
for the first 100000. This makes about
one hundred and seventy that this town
has furnished since the war commenced.
While we have none to spare from the va
rious industrial pursuits, but there are yet
three hundred more to shoulder the mus
ket and draw the sword if the country
needs them. But there is one thing they
do insist on if they 60, that they may be
permitted to fight the rebels and not COM
pelle d to guard the property Of traitors
and highwaymen. Madison will furnish
her full share Of men to crush out treason,
but they want no kid glove policy, but will
fight TO the last to put down the rebellion,
and save our glorious Union to our pos
teritv. and We insist that all the means
that the God Of nature has placed in our
power are legitimate to be used for that
purpose. We endorse the administra-
ton as far as it has gone, but want it to
put on little more steam. We indorse
the Acts Of the present Congress, and es-
pecially those abolishing Slavery in the
District, prohibiting it to the Territories,
the Confscation Act and kindred measures,
and we want the men who voted and spoke
for them 10 be sustained and those who op-
posed them left at home. And here l will
remark that the people of Madison want
our true, tried and faithful member, Hon.
A. G.. Riddle sustained, his acts indorsed
and he returned for q second term. hear
no complaint Of his course in Congress
| thus far, but a cordial endorsing Of his
acts. We want no compromisers or untried
men in these times. These are perilous
times. Let US stand by those that we know
to be right, and who have stood by us and
the country. he is honest, able, faithful
Let him be returned.
| Providence has smiled benefeently upon
MS and our fields are covered with an
abundance. The wheat just secured is Of
unusually large yield Corn and potatoes
/ look most favorable And while this il
mainly an agricultural town, there is nc
lack Of enterprise in other pursuits, and
not least Of these is that Of ship building
which though not SO extensively carried
on here as in your own city, venture thu
assertion, that neither there or elsewhere
can men wanting q vessel built well, o.
good material and on short notice, ge
their orders filled more promptly or mort
10 their satisfaction then here, by appiica-
tion to Messrs. A. s D. E. Bailey. They
have already built here i've large frs
class vessels, and are now building tn
sixth, which Is model Of beauty ant
strength. It is Of 400 tons burthen, an'
will carry 10000 bushels Of wheat. It wa
commenced about the middle Of July, anC
about the first Of October you may expec
it to make its first visit to your harbor
fully equipped and ready for service. Il
view Of the eligibility Of location, qualit,
Of material and enterprising, honorabl
and reliable character Of the Messrs. Bal
ley I would recommend to those wantinj
vessels built, to stop at Madison and en-
quire.
