R Forney's Press. says: "a
gigantic scheme Of colonization to elect
Vsllsndigham Governor of Ohio, has
been discovered. The plan is to con-
tract wie and pay Copperheads in In
diana, who have no families, to come
to Ohio ostensibly for the purpose OF
laboring. who are to receive part pay
ment in advance, and take an oath to
vote for Vallandigham. The desperate
scheme will be nipped in the bud"
Without doubt, our Copperhesd
brethren would gladly avail themselves
Of any ostside influence TO elect q can
didate outside of the State. The un-
scrupulous scoundrels now at the head
Of that faction. would not hesitate 10
commit any crime for that purpose. 1t
is well to be on our guard everywhere
along the borders to prevent illegal
voting. Slragglers from Dixie are
daily coming over the border. who need
watching. Many Of them are good
Union men, but others are only $3.50.
A residence of one year in the State, is
required before any person can vote.-
A little attention to this point on the
day OF election. may result in defeating
the calculations of both Southern rebels
and Northern traitors.

Inquiries are daily made Of us
when the next sale Of Government
animals will take place. In order to
answer our correspondents, We have
called at the Office Of the A. Q. NJ.
and sre informed that so far as ID bis
power. everything has been in readi-
ness for the sale of 200 horses and
mules for more than two weeks. The
order to sell has been unaccountably
delayed in the mails. The present time
would produce high prices. as many
farmers are in want Of stock for fall
work, to replace those taken by Nor
gan. Notice of the lime will be giver
as soon as practicable.
P. S.-After the above was in type
and Just as We were going to press
Capt. SrEALEY having just received an
order TO that effect sent in an advertise
ment of the sale, to take place on
Thursday. 18th Sept. next. Now low
srs of fine stock. be on hand early fol
bargains. and don't complain Of the Of
6cers il you don't get them. Attention
is directed to the notice in our adver.
tising columns.

Communication.

Ma. HAErER: see BY the last Jour.
nal that q writer hss endeavored 10 di4
rect public attention to the want Of q
proper school for young ladies'. in this
county. He makes some very good
suggestions. which, IL acted upon,
would doubtless bring about that very
desirable end. That sufficient num-
Der Of young ladies could be found in
Gallia county to suppOr, a school solely
devoted TO their educahon, cannot be
denied. The fault lies in parents,
whose circumstances enable them to ed
ucate their daughters abroad, not CO.
operating with others who are anxious
to give TO theirs the same advantages,
but cannot spare the requisite fuDds.-
M. has shown how easily this could be
done. 1t is desired BY many Of your
readers that he should continue = series
Of articles on the same subject, until
public attention is thoroughly aroused
to the Importance Of it. He seems con-
versant with il, and we await further
information, promising however to let
you hear from US again.

TIE FRosr IN SOUTHERN 1EDIAEA.--
The frost on Saturday and Sunday
nights was the seYerest known in this
part OF the country for many years,
and the damage to the crops is almost
incaIculable. The frost Of Saturday
light was what was termed white
frost, while that Of Sunday is called by
those who have suffered from its ef-
fects, black frost. Tobacco has suf-
fered immensely, while those Of our
farmers who were experimenting in the
cultivation of cotton have lost their
entire years work. We were shown an
ear of corn yesterday by Squire Van
Of Knight township, which was frozen
and ruined. He informs us that all
through his fields spots are discerni-
BILE where the corn is ruined. We
heard Of one lot Of fifteen scres IN
Kentucky which was totally destroyed.
The fodder is ruined. Some Of the
gardens in the vicinity Of our city
have also suffered terribly, the Vegeta-
bles being rendered entirely unit for
use. Thousands OF dollars have heen
lost to the farmers by this premature
Of winters icy messenger.

HTbe massacre at Lawrence, in
Kansas, for cold blooded strocity is un-
paralleled in the annals Of any civilized
nation. That Of Wyoming during the
revolutionary war becomes trivial in
comparison with it. From savage In
dIans such barbsrity was to be expected,
in those times. especially when urged
on BY still more savage white men as
Brant and Butler. The destruction Of
Lawrence is not pallisted BY any such
circumstances. 1t was devised, and
executed by the chivslrous sons Of the
Sunny South" By bigh-toned South
ern gentlemen. By men noted for
their hospitality. generosity and man
ly bearing. By that class who avOw
themselves hostile to every form Of Gov
ernment in which capital does not own
labor.
These gentlemen form part and par
eel Of that great Southern Confederacy,
from which Mr.. Valisndigham and his
supporters say. eve must call of our
invading armies. before they will think
Of making peace"
The sscking Of Lawrence furnishes
proof what we Of the North may ex-
pect from these gentlemaRiy butchers,
in case our Invading armies are called
home. II is a most instructive lesson,
especially to citizens on the border Of
Ohio.
What is there to protect Gallipolis
from such murderous assault? Moth
ing? Yet men among us are daily pra-
ting Of peace on any terms, with these
cut-throats and assassins. Very short
ly we shall have Pugh, Hutchins &
Co. here, to expound the Constitu-
ten to us as they understand it. They
will be loud in their denunciations OF
the President, of Brough, Of Tod, and
every good and loyal man, but especial
ly careful to say nothing Of Quantrell
and his friends, or Of the 85 widows,
and 200 orphans, made by them in
Lawrence. Mark it.

EThe war-cry Of the Vallandig-
hamers is "tbe Union as it was and the
constitution as it is"
The Ohio Statesman, a Copperhead
sheet, says the restoration of the Union
as it was with the Constitution as il is, !"
is impossible.
Vallandigham has repeatedly ex.
pressed himself in favor Of division
Of the country into four Confederacies
(which shall be virtually independent
Of each other"
The above are instances Of Copper
head consistency. but all easily recon-
cilable by any Butternut. Perhaps
some candidate on that ticket in old
Gallis will furnish the proof.

@H required $4,000 troops TO
preserve the peace in New York during
the late draft. These we're all brought
from the army of the Potomac ct an
enormous expense to the Government.
To that extent the force under General
Meade was weakened. and exposed to
great sad imminent danger from attack
BY the army under General Lee. Why
was al this done. Simply because
New York is cursed with a copperhead
Governor who prefers his party to his
country, who addresses murderers,
rioters and thieves as my friends"
and who is more jealous to retsrd than
advance the cause Of human freedom
and the submission Of the rebels to
law and order.
Yet Seymour, so far as he has shown
himself, is very saint in patriotism and
loyalty compared with Vallandigham.
II such be the fruits Of his course in
New York, what may we look for in
Ohio if the "exiled" chieftain of the
Copperhead Democracy be chosen
Governor Of Ohio. Friends of the
Union, look at these things. Like
causes produce ike results. Think
ysu, that Vallandighsm, il elected,
would call out the militia to defend
Ohio against raid ike John Morgan's?
He boasts Of never voting a man nor a
dollar to carry on the war. Can you
doubt why7 And have you any reason
to think he would act differently in q
different capacity? False hope
Treason is his life-bTood. Let him
revel in it. but not as Governor of
Ohio.

The PArH OF PEAcE.-General
Meade, in the speech made by him last
week. on his being presented with a
sword said:
I have to request Of you. gentlemen,
who are in civil lie, that. when you
return home. you viii spare no efforts
to make the people understand that all
we want are men to GIL up our ranks.
Send these to us. Give rs the num-
bers, and the war will soon be conclu-
ded. l think the rebels are now salts
fed that their struggle is only g matter
Of time, as we have the force on our
side; and that as soon as they see that we
are bringing out that forcs in earnest,
they will yield.

Ma. HARPER.-Seeing an article IN
the last Journal siged NJ. on the ques-
ton OF a Female Seminary IN Calf
polls, the thought suggested itself to
my mind: Why not convert the Gal-
LA Academy into an institution OF that
kind. The Academy now has a fund
of $4,000 on interest; exi bono? No
dividends can be declared on this fund,
or the profits accumulating thereon
So far ss the citizens Of Gallia county
are concerned it is Of no account what
ever, except SO much as may be re-
quired to repair the Academy building.
Besides this fund, the real estate owned
BY the Academy, containing four acres
Of ground and fine building. is worth
$4,000, making in all $4,000.
New stock TO the amount of $50, 900
more could be taken in the county, Civ
ing to the old stockholders the same
amount as they now hold. An insti-
tuition might thus be founded which
would afford to every citizen the means
Of educating bis daughters at home
The heavy expenses, attending course
of study abroad, can only be borne by
the few. whilst the many must of ne
nessily content themselves with the IA
cilitles afforded by our common schools.
l only make these suggestions, with
the hope that some more competent
person, will take up the subject, and
agitaIe it through the press until public
attention is thoroughly aroused. g.

~T The celebrated Greek fire, which
General GILMORE has barbarously show
cred upon Charleston, is composed of
what is known chemically as "arsenical
alcohol" made Of pitch, naptha and
bitumen, and burns as well on, or under
water as out Of it. In fact it is inextin-
guishsble. At the time of the crusades,
4 was used with terrible effect, by be-
iag thrown on arrows and jaVelins, on
which fax was twisted, and saturated
with the substance. Since then the Sc.
cret Of its composition has been lost to
the world, until about the outbreak of
this war. 1t is the invention Of a yir-
ginias, who found great difficulty in
the way OF having it noticed by the Of
6cisls at Washington. Now we shall
probably have it extensively used in
operating against the enemy.
1t is striking coincidence that this
rain Of hell'6re should first be applied
to the city Of Charleston. Like Sodom
and Gomorrah she has deserved her fate.
No truly loyal man will regret her total
destruction, BY these "most destructive
missiles ever used in war;" even il it
should cause the sending of a host OF
rebels to that other country where
"Greek FIRE" in it's virgin purity is the
"only meat. drink and lodging" offered
to those who choose to follow their il.
lustrious masters and prototypes. Judas
Iscariot, Benedict Arnold, or the devil.

~ Before any draft in Ohio was
made. we were told that great por-
ton Of the army was Democrats. Az
ter the draft we were told it was only
designed to operate on Democrats
Now again it is said that none but
Democrats are drafted anywhere. Sin
gular is it not. that the Democrats all
went to the war, and then that all
drafted we're Democrats. Still more
strange that nearly all democrats who
do go, and live to return, come back
Abolitionists. As proof of this we
might name instances right in old GAL
liza. They are well known but we
forbear mentioning any names out Of
respect for the fs.linss Of their friends at
home. Truly this war proves death
to bogus Democracy.

EFriend. of the Union. a word

H Friends OF the Union, Woro
with you. The campaign OF 1868 is
now-IulIy open. The State ticket, COM
posed Of men, who formerly belonged
to both political parties, has long been
in the field. No truly loyal war Dem
cerat can object to it on the ground
that bis former political friends are
not fairly represented. A large pro.
portion Of it, formerly acted with that
party. When so acting they were
known as its greatest champions. In
the days when Vallandigham, Pugh d
Co., were yet unHedged. and unknown
to fsme," John Brough, Charles An
derson and Volney Dorsey, were lead
ers worthy to be followed. Will you,
now that the lions Of your party have
srrayed themselves on the side Of free
dom and liberty, fcrsake them and their
wise teachings 10 follow the jackals
whose sole aim rs the destruction Of
your Government, and'the inauguration
Of civil war at your OWE aoorsg Will
you bow your necks to the yoRo of Po-
litical slavery, at the beck OF men
whose boast il is, that they have never
voted a man nor dollar, 10 save this
glorious republic from utter destruction?'
Il canEot be-, that you will thus know
ingly and "with malice aforethought,"
place yourselves upon record as the
enemies Of freedom, and friends Of the
most damnable tyranny oyer not only
the bodies, bat souls of men, By which
this world has ever been cursed.
This is no time to speculate upon the
chances of defeat in Ohio. Neither is
there any use to consider over the re-
suits Of former contests. No figures
of any date prior to 1861 will prove re-
liable to-day. Men are changing their
views every day. We cannot admit the
possibility OF defeat. We must have
not only decided but an ovsrwhelm-
ing victory. This glorious Union can
not be sbandcsed to traitors in the
North when we have SO nearly crushed
the rebels in the South. We must sue
eeed. Our brave soldiers in the field
demand it of us as a right, that whilst
they are suffering all the privations and
bardsbips of q military life. and stand
ing y living wall Of fire between US
and rsmorseless foe, We shalf not suf-
fer their victories to become fruitless,
by allowing the hosts Of copperheads
TO obtain power in the North. Ohio
"expeets every man to do his duty" in
the coming contest. Those who fail
either from motives Of actual hostility
10 the Government. Or blind devotion
to mere party, will secure for them
selves and their children the scorn and
contempt Of ell good men, in the cen.
ing time, when our glorious Onion,
shall arise from her present death
struggle. refined, purified, and on
more permanent foundation than ever
before.

~A copperhead in Tuscarawss
county. O., has written book entitled
an Enquiry into the Rights Of holding
negroes as Slaves" He proves these
"Rights" By copious extracts from the
Bible. The text Whatsoever We
would that men should do unto you, do
ye even so to them." Philip e1pounds
thus:
1--WE do not wish negroes should free
US, therefore according to the precept
we are not bound TO free them. 1t is
only what we wish others should do
unto us, we are commanded TO do to
them"
Now that is good logic for Philip
But it must work well in all cases.
For instance: We do not wish Vallan-
digham to release US from punishment
for violation Of Order No. SO, therefore
according to the precept, we are not
bound to help release him.
