IMPORTANT RAILROAD ARRANGEMENT
THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL
ROAD TO Come TO CLEvELAND.-We under
stand, on what we consider good authority,
that "a railroad arrangement of the greatest
importance to our citizens and the public gen.
orally has been perfected. 1t is reported that
the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com
pany have leased the Cleveland 6 Mahoning
Railroad for q. term of ninety-nine years,
guaranteeing,a rate of interest to the stock
holders of the latter Company that will prob
ably give handsome dividend The line is
to be completed forthwith to the Old River
Bed, where the depot buildings will be erect
ed, and junction effected with the Cleye-
land & Toledo Railroad. -5
1t is also asserted that the A. & G. W
Railway has quietly become possessed of the
controlling interest in the Cleveland & Toledo
Railroad, which will put that road in connec
tion with the Cleveland & Mahoning Road
and probably break up the proposed consoli
dation with the other lines here. The stock
holders meeting of the Cleveland & Toled
Company takes place on the 18th inst, whel
the course of the Company in the latter ques
ton will have to be decided on.

The X. G.. C,s.


The Democratic Vallandighammers are boast
ing Of, and rejoicing in the unusual numbers
which convene the present year in their Con-
ventions, and urge that this spontaneousa
uprising of Democratic masses argues that the
spirit of the people is deeply stirred against
the National Government, and that there is
desire to accept peace on any terms. The
Valandighamnlers boast that their late State
Convention at Columbus, called out an assem-
blage of from 10000 to 50000-a not nm
usually extravagsnt exaggeration. 1t is adj
mitted that there might have been and could
not have exceeded 5000 men at the State
Convention. This is large number, larger
much than usual, on such occasions. But
instead of being spontaneous, self-moved as
semblage of the masses, it was the direct pro-
duct of the impulse of that secret order
known as the Knights of the Golden Circle
asecret, reasonable organization, in full SYM
pathy with armed rebels.
Many even, were surprised at the unusual
ly full attendance at the late County Conyen-
ton Of the Democracy in Ravenna. But all
surprise will vanish, when it is understood
that the Knights of the Golden Circle are
among us-that their leagues and their secret
conclaves are in every township, and that by
illegal and disloyal oaths they are bound in
party affiliation Hence these leagues pro-
dlce an influence and an impulse, sufficient
Insecure naposing gatherings of the Ieople.' p
We would not be understood as saying,
that all whos attend, and participate in these
Conventions are members of these secrect,
or reasonable conclaves, or that all who at
tend, or participate in these Conventions, are
positively disloyal men. What We mean to
be understood as saying is, that we believe the
impulse is given by the wire-workers in their
secret conclaves, and that many man is
moved upon, and induced to act by aconcealed
power, whose victim he is. 1t is the policy
of the z. G. C's to be erclusive-it is no par
Of their plan, to reveal even their existenct
to all whose cooperation they wish to secure
hence many awell meaning man is made
their deluded dupe, Unconscious of the hid
den Influence that guides him.
Hence these gatherings are more speciou
and unsubstantial than real and imposing, af
teral1. We have a ready illustration of thi
in the fact, that many who participated in tn
late County Democratic Convention, and &C
quiesced, or seemed to acquiesce in the pass
age of a resolution Of sympathy for Vallar
dighan, now express chagrin, and even rt
sentiment at his domination, and declare the
will never vote for him. This shows th'
they, at least, are true and loyal men, wha
aver may Be said Of the Knights of Il
Golden Circle. &
So bhsrs is nUthisg alarming even IN lar.

made an electric appeal to those present to
fight on for the country-to meet traitors up
on the broad platform of the Union, and to
take neither rest nor sleep until the foul stain
of completely with treason is removed from
the loyal name and fame of Ohio. Thetime
had come when We could no longer hesitate as
to the course to pursue--the line had been
plainly drawn. Now we stood upon the
ground, patriots or traitors. As we~n1et the
question we should have the reward of the
one or the fate of the other. The time had
come, too, when the Speaker was ready to
cast aside all conservative feeling, and step to
the side of the manaced black man and
knock off his shackles and put them in his
black hands, that he might put them into a
black howitzer and fire them upon the slave
holding rebels. [Great applause,l

The war news of the week.


! The week has passed in anxious and eager
enquiry, and at times in painful suspense, as
rnnlor has chased rumor freighted with news
of alternate success and disaster.
e. There has been heavy fight at Milliken's
Bend, in which Union black soldiers fought
with desperate and heroic bravery. The reb-
els who made the attack were repulsed.
l Vicksburg still holds out. At this present
writing, it is represented that the rebels at
syicksburg are wholly cut off from commune
cation with the outside world, and that Gov
eernment could take it any day, but prefers to
wait still longer, in or to take it with less ex-
penditnre of life. It is also asserted with
fpositiveness, that Gen. Grant is So protected,
that he is sabsolutely safe from any possible
attack in the rear. Before getting TO press,
we may be able to give additional news.
Port Hudson is strongly invested by Gen.
Banks, and its early fall is looked for.
There has been exciting news from day tc
day, from the Rappahannock. Mysterious
movements of the enemy, and of Hookel
have been going forward. A heavy artillery
fight occurred between the rebel Gen. Stew,
art, and Gen. Pleasanton The rebels were
Tepulsed, and their contemplated raid intt
Maryland and Pennsylvania, checked, at least
for the time Now we have news that lie,
is across the Rappahannock with $4,000 mel
moving North, and that Hooker is after him
and a battle imminent. We may daily looE
for stirring news.

SINGULAR Fidelity or A Doc ON THE BAT
TIE FlELD.-On Monday last as Hon. John Co.
vode in company with number of officers, was
passing over the battle field beyond Fredericks-
burg, their attention was called to small dog
lying by corpse. Mr.. Covode ha ted q few min.
utes TO see if life was extinct. Raising the coat
from the mans face he tound him dead. The
dog, looking wistmlIy up, ran to the dead mans
face and kissed his silent lips. Such devotion in
a small dog was SO singular that Mr.. Covode ex-
amiaed some papers upon the body, and found it
to be that of Sergt w. H. Brown, Go. c. 9lst
Pennsylvania.
The dog was shiyering in the cold but refused
to leave masters body, and as the coat was
thrown over bis face again he seemed very unea-
sy, and tried to get.under it to the mans face.
He had il seems, followed the regiment into bat
tie, and stuck to his master, and when he fell re-
NAMED with him, refusing to leave him or eat
anything AS the party returned an ambulance
was carrying the corpse to little grove of trees
for interment, and the little dog following, the
only mourner at that funeral, as the heros com
rades had been called to some other point. hrs
