Shriner made a speech of an hour and O
half, which in logical argument, clincbed
by indispu'abe facts, in the best of tenn
per, has not been excelled, in this cam-
paign, in our county. lie proved that

Of the Army and Navy, in putting down
this awful Rebellion, has not gone as far,
ip CONSUMPTION, martial law, aud employ
ing colored soldiers, as did Maj jor Gene

open eneuiy at New Orleans. Mr.. Shri-
uer's compilation of facts should be widely
heard and published.

AT meeting of Co L. l42d Reg. P.V,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and handed to me with q request
that they be cont to your body Of loyal
Union men:
Whereas, our beloved country is now
involved IN a m0mrntous struggle for its
existence, and our free institutions, our
rights aud liberties in great danger VI
being taken away from us-therefure,
Resolved, that it is the sacred duty Of
every citizen, without distinction of party,
TO give his earnest and undivided support
to his country in its hour Of need, aud
should not only refrain from expressions
of doubt and distrus, iu the Administra,
tioD aud its Officers, but should sustain
the Government by thorough exertions
for the maintenance Of the national honor
aud the national life
Resolved, that we are epdeavoripg TO
do our duty, by serving in the Army of
the Union, and shall not shiIk from dan
gers and death in defence Of our priuci-
pies.
Resolved, that party, hostile to the
Government, base in It's origin, doubly
base in its infamous life, has been formed
at cur home, and is spreading its cor
rupiing Influence over our friends aud
neiShbors, and that each loyal man must
endeavor by every means to stop the in-

they who knowingly follow, are traitors
