Sunday last, about ten o'clock during the
absence Of Mr.. Warden G. Atkinson, who
resides about six miles west OF Zanesville
attending meeting, his barn was fired. He
tbirks the perpetrator was Miss Adela

the part'e es owning barns that have been fir
ed are Democrats. The whole county is in
arms. Last Sunday was day Of as much
excitement and false alarm In the townships
west OF GAINESVILLE as il Morgan had been
coming. The people are thoroughly arous-
cd and everywhere on the hunt.
Since the above was in type Miss Reese
has had an examination before Esq. Eagan,
and been acquitted.
AS all the barns burned were owned by
prominent Democrats, the inference is al
most conclusive that this act OF vandalism
was done by Abolitionists. This Is the nat

The abolition papers parade the following
remark Of Mr.. Vallandigham, and represent
it as having been made since the commence
ment OF the rebellion:
"Then, sir / am not southern man eith>

stiiutional crusade against the South, in the
midst OF the INVASION, arson, insurrection
and murder to which she has been subject,
and with which she is still threatened =
with the torch Of the incendiary and the
dagger Of the assassin suspended over her,
my most cordial sympathies are wholly with
her"
We will pay any man twenty dollars who
will show us any letter or speech OF Mr.
Vallandigharn's, in which this language is
used other than in his speech delivered ia

against the John Brown raid into Virginia.

Gov, Andrew promised that If the Pres
ident would issue proclamation OF enanci-
patton, New England would swarm with
volunteers for the war. The desired docu-
me1t was issued, but no swarms arrived
from Massachusetts. On the contrary, the
SPRINGFIELD Republican, an Abolition paper,
remarks as follows:
1t would seem as Mongh we 'ceye a veyy
sicily and degeneratea race, jutging rom the
long lists of exempts. 1t is plain the Gov
ernment will not get many men from this
draft, and il the whole OF the original quote
called for is obtained, not only will another
draft have to be made, Which q0W exhaust all
the first class, but The second class aoiH be large
ly dragn upon also. But it is more likely
the Government will get what men it can
from this draft and obtain whatever more
may be needed by volunteering and the pay
ment OF large bounties. The act that New
Jersey has had permission to raise her men
by volunteering would seem to point TO such
a conclusion,

The radical newspapers feed their readers
daily upon the -silliest fictions. just now
they are trying to make 1t appear that Mr..
ValIandigham, when exiled at the South,
communicated such information to Gen.
Morgan as encouraged him to undertake his
recent disastrous raid. Gen. Burnside has
not done half so much for our arms as he
who persuaded Morgan to cross the Ohio,
But that Mr. Vallandigham did so none but
shallow and credulous fanatics believe.
Mr.. Vallandigbam, when in Newark, N
j., last February, gave his only invitation to
southern generals:
"If they invade us we will write for them
precisely the same history they have written
oa US for two years, and give them Bull
Runs upon our own soil"
1t is curious TACT, by the by, that Nor,
