on the stump We are authorized to say the

~ in his estimation!
ag- An important error occurred in our
statement Of the membership of the Order of

al and of good qualification, can find employ

do so generally, and consequently there is
but one doctor in the city qualified to practice.
ave all of us should be ready to make sa-
cramemts," said Mrs Darlington solemnly as
she heard that a neighbours son had been
drafted" if had hundred sons should be
willing that every one Of 'em should be ex-
cmpt." What patriotic glow her cheek as
sumed How her eye flashed through her
glasses! What a meaning there was in her
tone! But Ike who knew the dictionary sig
fication of the word "exempt" laughed.
sg- The "lying Argus" says Judge Cony

way the drafted men have been swindled by
Copperheads-put off with script not convert
ible into cash; not legally worth dollar.

bers OF Gen. Shepley's speech according to
order. We are now working them at the rate
of thousand an horr, but 1t will require near
ly two days at this rate to fill orders already
received. Let it go abroad and do good. 1t
will prove regular emancipation, emancipat-
ing hundreds of minds frsm the chains, slav-
cry and control of a rebelsympathizing and
traitorous party.

fed TO know that Gen. Shepley has been at
tackled by the Advertiser. of this city in the
vindictive and usual blackguard style OF that
