A UNION OF THE UNION
Men OF WooD COUNTY
Owing to unfortunate in
tluences, to which il is
not necessary 10 allude
here, the USION men Of
Wood County have not
acted in harmony during
the past year. This has
been Il subject of DEEP
REGRET to all earnest
friends of the country, no
matter to whom they
might have attached the
blame.
1t affords us MUCH SAT-
IsFACTIoF to be able to
give publicity to the fact
that u PERFECT UNION of
the UNION men of this
county is more than pro-
bable. Messrs. Ross and
Laskey, Chairmen of the
TWO Union County Com
mittces, have had an in
terview, we learn, and
have agreed upon the
terms of n Union call for
our County Nominating
Convention. 1t is to be
on the basis of the Union
State call, inviting all
who are in favor of sus-
tanning the Administra
tion in a vigorous prose
cutiOn of the war.
He who can not nc;
with Union men upon
that platform, is AN
ENEMY TO HIS COUN.
TRY, TO HUMANITY
AND TO GOD!

PERFECT UNION"
( NOW THIS!

.1 In consequence of
the FAILURE of he trains to
connect, OUR Union dele
gates to the State Con-
yention did not reach Co
lumbus until It was too
late to have n hearing
before the Committee on
Credentials, but not too
late 10 give an earnest
support to the nomination
of Honest John Br0ugh.
The BOGUS DELE
GATES, therefore, sue
ceeded in PALMING THEM
SELVES OFF UPON THE
CONVENTION, but failed to
support ANY Of the Union
nominees. 1t Is reported
that THEIR SUPPORT, cou-
pied with that of their
MASTER, Mr.. Ashley,
was ENOUGH TO SINK ANY
CANDIDATE! We don't
doubt Il. Who was il that
swore 80 terribly when
Bingham was defeated ?
Who failed TO got their
Icrotchefy HOtro.s through
the Committee on Rcso-
.lutions i? Who came home
with their chins resting
on their boSoms, and their
eyes gazing upon the
ground as if looking for
some lost object? Not
the Union delegates, for
they were pleased with
the doiugs of the Conven-
tion, and only regretted
their failure TO reach the
Capital in time to have
shared in the honor Of
making suck nOmina-
.tiOns.

A SIMILE.-On a certain occasion ]
attended church in a seaport town, tC
hear an evening lecture by visiting
preacher from the country. 10 persons
at all acquainted with the southern coun
try, it is quite unnecessary to describe
the man OF detail his liberal qualifications
Suffice it to say, he was fair specimen
Of about three-fourths OF his cotempora'
res of the back woods. The house was
full, aud our preacher seemed bent or
making 40 impression. His text was
Faith without works is dead" Finding
himself, probably, for the first time in bis
life, in a nautical atmosphere, he labored
assiduously to sink the bushman, aid tc
appear in the borrowed garb of one ,inti,
mately acquainted with sea -faring phrases
and pursuits At length after aa awfu
pause, and scanning his audience with a
look that seemed to say, "Feiler mortals,
faith without works ar dead Now 'spose
one of you wur in boat, / reckon you d
look about for oars. But you can't find
but one. And with that you row, and
row, and row, and your boat goes round,
and round and reckon yea wouldn' 4
reach shore nowhere nohow Wal, feller
mortals, that oar am faith without works.
And | reckon you couldn't go nowere
with one oar"
Pausing again and looking around with
triumphans air to witness the impress
sion he had made, he seemed entirely
absorbed iu the contemplation of the
mighty effort he had put forth. But,
alas /! for pulpit dignity! A sailor pres
ent, who had drank in,every word, and
longed for an opportunity to let his own
light shine on the audience, broke the
silence and exclaimed
Blasted fresh water lubber Can't
90 nowhere with one ear! Guess the
fool don't know how to scul!'
Any one must have been present to
realize the effect of this appeal to the au-
deuce There were not many dry eyes
in the house after that, though the tears
were not those of penitence.

THE BACHELORS AND CoNsCIPTIoN.--
The new conscription bill proposes in
two drafts to take the able bodied men
between twenty and forty five years old.
There are to be Two classes-frst, those
married between twenty and thirty five,
with the unmarried between twenty and
forty. 6ve-second the married between
thirty five and forty five-but the secund
class is not to be called out till the first
is exhausted. This sets the bachelors
between thrty-fve and forty-five ali ago
for getting married We agree with a
contemporary that this is wise provision
Of the law, if there is any wisdom In 1t.
We wish it had taken all the bachelors
between twenty and ninety, before it
touches married men. What are these
old bachelors good for but to die for their
country? If they will not raise soldiers
to fight battles, let them 90 an6 fight them
selves;and die, if so be, without wife or child
to mourn them when they fall. Howev-
or, if any of those who would fall into the
second class if married, will repent of this
singularity, the war has already made
widows enough who will not refuse to as,
sist them in shirking the cartridge box,
if they will only buckle on the harness Of
matrimouy. Let them walk up and show
themselves men at once Fight or marry.

DERGE FOR A SOLDIER.
BY GLORGL H. BoKLR.
Close his eyes; his work is done
What to him is friend or foeman,
Rise OF moon. or set of sun,
Hand of man, or kiss of wonan7
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow:
What cares he he cannot know:
Lay bim low
AS man may, he fought his fight,
Proved hls truth by his endeayor;
Let him sleep in solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow:
What cares he )? he cannot know:
Lay him low
Fold him in his country's stars;
Roll the drum and fire the volley
What to him are all our wars,
What but death bemocking folly2
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow:
What cares be ? he cannot know:
Lay him low
Leave him to Gods watching eye;
Trust him to the hand that made him.
Mortal love weeps idly by:
God alone has power to aid him.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the suow:
What cares be he cannot know:
Lay him low
