Report of the Executive Committee
of the Ottawa County Bible
Society.

Since our last annual meeting, what was
then hypothesis and problem, has been
wrought out into terrible significance
We, then, in common with all loyal citi-
zens, hoped for peace, even in tho midst of
connections which were only little less
than civil war. We still looked for truth
amid threatened perjury and treason. We
had not entirely given up all hope that
reason would prevail over passion, patriot
ism over rebellion, liberty over despotism,
order and law over anarchy and confusion.
For the time our hopes have proved an
abortion. 1t was AS when an hungry
nan dreameth, and behold he eateth, but
he awaketh and his soul is empty; or as
when n thirsty man dreameth and behold
he drinketh; but he awaketh and behold
he is faint and his soul hath appetite"
The terrible events of tho past year, in
which our nation has struggled in the
grasp of tho assassin, who was seeking
IFS life blood, are teaching us the lesson of
our dependence upon God, and our ac-
countability to Him, which we have been
so slow to learn by gentle means. But
these events, bringing sadness and an
guish to the heart of the nation, and to
the bosom of almost every family in it,
we believe arc only Gods method Of pu-
rifying us for himself. AS an affection
ate parent administers the rod, because
impelled to it by the very strength of his
love for a hayward child, and withdraws
it the very moment the child becomes pen
itent and returns to duty, so we believe
God is dealing with us as nation. His
hand will be withdrawn when we cease to
need its heavy infections.
One of the sad results Of the trials
through which our country is passing is
the drying up of the streams Of benevo.

A HOME SHoT.-Our morning cotem-
temporary is remarkably profuse in his
charges of" treason and "secessionism "
upon all democrats who happen to come
under its displeasure. 1t recently made
the usual charges against the editor Of
the Jacksonian, and charged it with q
design of advocating settlement" or
compromise" between the North and
South" To which the JackSonian re-
plies Diet. Free Press.
Although we design proposing no
such thing yet we have TO say TO the De-
troit Advertiser that we would sooner do
so than accede to the infamous PROPOSE
sition for peace that paper made in its is
sue of January Sd. Here it is:
"'If our Senators and Representatives,
with full knowledge of all the facts, de-
eide that the South is irrevocably lost to US,
there can be no object in further protract-
ing the war. In that case let as recog-
nize their independence at once and make
a.treaty Of peace and anaity toiM them.
"These Detroit treason bowling
sheets will do well to guard their own rec
ord. Hardly General in our army, ex-
cept of known abolition sentiments, has
escaped their most cowardly, mean, and
despicable attacks. 1t will be soon
enough for the advertiser to charge us
with adopting. the Confederate constitu-
ton when it ceases to preach treason by
such extracts rs the above"

OUR NEXT VOLUME.

The present issue Of our paper closes its
third volume. We return our heartfelt
thanks TO the citizens of Ottawa County
and others who have favored us with so
liberal share of patronage during the
past year. We have been more literally
dealt with than our most sangune antici-
pations had led us at first to hope, and
we shall start out with our fourth volume
with renewed hope and courage.
Those who have hitherto been our
friends and patrons will find us on hand
with additional facilities TO execute all
descriptions of jon WORK, in the neatest
and most expeditions manner and at the
loaOest HUing prices. We are determined
to please, in our business, and we much
prefer a nimJie Sirpence to a slo'O, plod-
ding shilling.
We have good supply of type, of fine
styles and qualities, for posters, bill heads,
cards, &C., &C., plain, ornamental, or col
ored-so that tho taste of the most fas-
tidious can be suited.
In the future conduct of our paper no
pains will be spared to render it what ev-
cry county paper should be-a home pa
per. More than usual pains will be taken
TO lay before our readers the latest news,
in brief, relating to our foreign and do
mestic affairs, and particularly that more
intimately connected with our interests rs
nation, struggling in the great and ar
duous cause Of liberty against the hydra
headed monster, rebellion. In so doing
we shall ever uphold the present govern
ment in its efforts to put down the rebell-
ion, so long as the President and his Cab
met occupy the noble stand they have
taken, and so far carried out in policy and
act, and adhere TO the Constitution, the
old compact of Union, in crushing out the
rebellion.
We want to sec the Constitution in all
its wise provisions sustained, and .faith-
fully carried ont, till it is altered or set
aside by competent tribunal. And
again, we want the war conducted in such
manner as to bring the rebelious To
terms of submission, as soon as possible,
and restore peace once more to our LAGER
atcd, bleeding country, on terms that
shall chectually discourage any attempts
hereafter to disturb our quiet and prosper
ity as a nation.
In the above our patrons can see the
foreshadowing Of our future policy as
journalists. We trust our position is
such as will commend the NewS to the
favorable notice of our former patrons,
and to others wishing to read good,
readable county paper.

THE WAR.

A rumor was prevalent at Louisville,
on the oath, that Nashville had been
evacuated, but the report could not be
traced to any reliable source.
Our troops have taken possession Of
Cumberland Gap and Russellville, Ky.
The former place is the best natural strong
hold in the Southwest, and its occupation
lays open all East Tennessee to our army.
Gen. Curtis has attacked and defeated
Prices army, at Sugar Creek, Arkansas.
Many prisoners were taken.
Three different reports are received that
Nashville has been taken, one by way Of
Richmond, one by way of Cairo and the
other by way of Louisville. The reports
are none of them perfectly reliable, but
the fact that they come through such
widely different channels must give great
weight 10 them.
On Saturday Gen. Scott was nomina-
ted as Minister Extraordinary to Mexico
with functions of very extended nature
Fourteen officers and 800 more prison
ers have been.released by the rebels
Neither Corcoran nor Wilcox are among
them.
No doubt can longer exist that Colum
bus is not evacuated. A reconnaissance
down the river on Sunday showed the
rebels to be still in full possession.
Col. Wood, one of the released prison
ers, was present Saturday at the inaugu
ration of jeff. Davis, which he describes
as very tame affair." scarcely cheer be

Then and Now--1776 and 1862.

The following remarkable words were
uttered by General George Washington,
on accepting the Office OF COMMANDMENTS
Chief Of the Continental army, at the
commencement of the revolution: "As
to pay, sir, beg leave 10 assure the Con-
gross that as no pecuniary consideration
could have tempted me to accept this ar
duous employment, at the expense of my
domestic ease and happiness. I do not
wish TO make any profit from it, | will
keep an exact account Of my expenses
Those l doubt not they will discharge,
and that is all | DESIRE"
How few, alas! of the would-be-patri-
OTIS, who stand at the head of our army,
or occupy prominent positions in the war,
at present are actuated by the motives
and feelings that directed every act of
Washington in the arduous and protract-
ed struggle Of the revolution. How few,
indeed, wish to make no profit from their
high position. How many, on the con-
trary, wish TO make all they can out Of
the necessities Of the government, and rob
the National Treasury of its last dollar,
were it in their power, to glut their hellish
desire for ill-gotten and rapidly accumu-
lating gains, to the open shame and dis
grace of the army and nation. Should
justice be melted out, every man, no mat
ter Of what name, nation, shade Of poll
tics, or station, that has been guilty of
swindling the government by fraudulent
contracts, or otherwise, and thus been the
means Of adding millions of unnecessary
expense to the war, and burden of tax
alton grevious to DO borne, would be thus
disposed of-those guilty of the most fla
grant acts Of filching-suspended Ia Ha-
man, n spectacle to the civilized world of
the just retribution inflicted by an injured
and insulted people upon base scoundrels,
and the Others incarcerated securely with
in the walls of some gloomy prison suf-
fciently long to learn lessons of Justice
and right, to which they have proved
themselves strangers.
AT least, the greedy harpies should be
"spotted," and never, hereafter, permit
ted to hold any office of trust or cmolu-
ment at the hands of the people. We
can't trust them. They are totally un-
worthy of confidence, and so let them as
speedily as possible sink TO eternal obliv-
ion, or be remembered only as the Bene-
dict Arnolds, in tho day of our nations
peril, preferring gold to country.
Another item: AZ the close of the
struggle of the revolution, which lasted
nearly eight years, the Colonies were in
debt only little more than $40,0OO,OOO.
What will be our national debt at the
expiration of the first year in the present
effort to suppress the rebellion9 Who has
q mind sufficiently expansive to compre-
bend the vast millions?

lence. The fountains we hope are still
open, but the fires kindled by the Devil,
by which so large portion Of our coun-
try is possessed, have parched the soil,
and dried up the streams which are so
necessary for its irrigation. This inAu-
ence extends TO every part of our coun-
try, and affects every branch Of benevo-
lence. But while, by depressing any kind
of business, by taxation, and by cngross-
ing mems minds with scenes of excite
ment, the ability to give is diminished, the
calls for benevolent action are greatly In
creased. Hundreds of thousands of faith
ers, husbands, sons, and brothers, called
into the field, to defend their country, are
thrown beyond the reach of the moral in
fiuences and means Of grace by which
they have been surrounded, and exposed
to all the bad influences incident to time
of war and camp life. And their case
calls loudly upon the benevolent at home
to furnish them with the word of life TO
preserve the living from sin, and TO cheer
the wounded and dying with hopes of
heaven. 1t becomes us, then, who live
at ease and in quiet, who are compare
lively free from the alarms and devasta-
tons Of war in our own households and
communities, to consider the sad circum-
stances of our friends and noighbors thus
exposed to suffering and privation, for our
sakes, and contribute of our abundance and
of our penury to send them the word of
life.
Just previous 10 our last annual meet
ing, the first Sabbath of January, 1861,
our county had been pretty thoroughly
explored and its destitutions supplied.
So that comparatively little has needed to
be done in prosecuting the work Of the
County Society, in that direction. Our
Central Depository is kept up, and is well
supplied with good assortment Of Bibles
and Testaments, in various styles. Two
Branch Depositories are also sustained,
one in Holland, and one in Mill Point,
both of which are doing good by making
the word of God easier of access to the
people.
BY the report of the Depository it APP
pears that on the 26th of December last,
when settlement was had with Rev. Mr..
Gardner, agent of the Parent Society,
there were on hand in the several Depos-
itories Bibles and Testaments amounting
