Egging Garfleld, ana what Came .

1T.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes the following:
{. Speaking OF the Maryland campaign, a
racy scene occurred he otherd day on the cas-
tern shore OF Charleston, III which an Ohio
soldier was an actor. Judge Kelley, of Phil
adelphia, and Gen. Garfield, had gone down
to address Goldsborough meeting.
The village paper, (inteiisely pro-slavery,
of course,) paved the way for them by an
nouncing that Judge Kelley was not only an
Abolitionist but a nigger thief, and that, on
his last visit to the eastern shore, he had even
had the meanness to- carry off negro from
the gentleman who had entertained him. A
year or two ago that would have been pleas
ant introduction for a Northern speaker at
mass meeting in the heart of bitterly pref
udiced slayeholding Community Judge
Kelley, however, met it III style after the
chivalry's own heart, by pronouucing the ed
itor an Infamous liar, slanderer and coward
He meekly endured it, but presently there
came retribution. Gen. Garfield was speak
ing, when the suppressed rage of some one at
the epithets applied to the prudent editor
burst its bounds in a rotten egg hurled with
more force than accuracy at the Gene; ais good
humored face
The result was curinns. Garfield quietly
remarked that not long ago he had been meet
ing men on Chieamauga Creek who defended
the same cause with more dangerous weapons,
and if it become his duty he supposed he
might renew the fight. The crowd were i'm
mensely taken with the idea They cheered
the soldier politician to the echo fogged some
fellew soundly on suspicion, though he ear
nestly protested he didn't throw the egg, and
wound up by going off into a regular eman-
cipation jubilee. Residents understanding
the temper of the crowd, declared the rotten
egg made them dozens of voters in the i'm
mediate vicinity''

PERsoNAL.-The Bryan Press pays the
high and deserved compliment to former
citizen of Ravenna, Albert M. Pratt, Esq,
for his valuable and unremitting efforts for
the Union cause during the late campaign.
A Democrat of lifelong fidelity, and with
more than ordinary personal inducements of
party fealty. he early laid aside the partizan,
and assumed the position of a patriot, and has
faithfully maintained it. The large Union
gain in Williams is in no small degree due to
his efforts. He has faithfully carried out the
dying injunction of his old political leader,
Mr.. DoUGLAs, to know. during this war, " but

ENERGETIC MANAaEMENT.-Th Western
Reserve Chronicle, in an article on the Allan
tic & Great Western Railway, well says:
The rapidity with which the A. & G. W.
R. R. has been, and is now being pushed for
ward, is marvel to all who have witnessed
it, as is also the success of the undertaking,
and the vast freight and passenger traffic which
passes over its line. While it is greatly af-
fecting the business of this section of coun-
try, enhancing the price of real estate along
the line and of all the products, facilities for
whose transportation to market it affords, Civ
ing employment to thousands of laborers and
employees, and thus directly and largely bea-
citing the whole country, it will also remain
monument of the energy and power Of
Chief Engineer Kennard, and of the exhaust
less perseverance and far-reaching vision of
President Kent, and of the spirit of all its
directors and managers.

The 7Ih O. ". 4.

A letter from the 7th Ohio, bearing date
the 28th ult., says:
!" The regiment was still stationed at War
trace, Tenn, but was under marching orders;
the destination the writer did not know
They had been engaged in no fighting al
though buta few days before they had been
hastily thrown into position TO meet imagin-
.ary foes, whom scouts reported were about to
attack them.
"The post-commanded by Col. Creighton
had been visited by four or five slavehold-
ers, one of them in search of his human chat
ties. The Colonel gave him permission to
hunt for them, on condition that if they were
found he should report with them to him.
The slaves were next day discovered in the
woods, thirteen in all, and according to prom
Use, were brought into camp before the Colo
nell
There were two men, one woman, and
the balance children. The owner wanted to
take them home with him but the slaves
objected the Colonel leaving it for them to
decide. The master foamed and waxed wroth;
but the Colonel was imperturable. At length
the owner succeeded in frightening lad of
fifteen to depart with him. Two soldiers fol-
lowed them to the depot, halted them, and
inquired of the black if be wanted to go with
his master, to which he replied "no'' After
a warm alteration with the owner, the men
returned with the slave." sa
The writer states that there are many Un-
ion people in that vicinity. Parson Brown
lows son is near there, as Captain of Cavalry.
The mode of dealing with captured rebels by
these loyal Tennesseeans is most summary.
They never report with prisoners.

Shall Portage County Raise It's
0uOtas


Quotas
The reader will fnd in the Democrat to-.
day, an official statement, from the district
Provost Marshal, naming the quota of volun-
teers required of Portage county, under the
call of Oct 18th, from the President Of the
United States, for 100000 men. As the quo
IA is given by townships, a recapitulation is
unnecessary here.
The question now before the people of
this county is, shall the whole number-305
men--be raised by volunteering before the
18th of January next. and thereby draft
prevented.
We are inclined to answer this in the afir-
mative-and so we believe, will answer ma
jority of the people of the county.
The people have just most heartily pro-
nounced in favor Of a vigorous prosecution ,ef
the war; they have in the most practical
manner announced their faith in the Republic;
their purpose to stand by the government in
It's great struggle for existence. To fulfill
these pledges a cheerful, prompt and vigor-
