ished from his State for open and publicly
expressed hostility to the Unicn cause, there
are still men SO lost to all decency, as to take
up this branded traitor and nominate him
for the highest Office within the gift of the
Free State of Ohio. IF the Government had
stretched Vallandingham's neck, which it
should have done instead of sending him
South, the loyal people Of the country would
have been spared this insult. Each soldier
Of the Union, and especially Of the..one hun
dred thousand and over that have gone forth
from Ohio, has perfect right to regard this
nomination as a personal affront and indig-
nifty upon himself. And we shall be sur
prised if it is not so regarded. The "boys
in blue" will not forgive such acts as this,
and the time is coming when they will visit
fearful retri5ution upon the home-traitors.
There is no class Of people on the earth that
il so thoroughly despised by our soldiers as
Northern copperheads. ss
We must believe, however, that the great
mass Of the people Of Ohio will be opposed
to the nomination, and if the opposition
shall but act iudiciously in the formation of
their ticket-unitc the Republican and loyal
Democratic element on one broad, Union
platform-that the copperheads will meet
with most signal defeat. 1t surely cannot
be that in the noble Buckeye State the trait

Applington Loyal---A False Report Sc
Right.

In our issue Of May Goth, we had an arti
Gle stating that "Mr. Bisbee, who resides
in Applington, Butler County, recently had
all his stock poisoned by copperhead neigh
bors," and also stated that nearly all the cit
liens of the place were coppcrheads. We
made the statements Oh what we believed. at
the time, to be perfectly reliable information.
Several of the citizens of Applington are
now aware of the source from which we de
rived our information, and they will general
ly admit, we believe, that we had good rea-
son to suppose that we were stating facts
when the article in question was published.
But we are very glad to learn that we were
in error in our former article, and that moth
ing of the nature charged ever occurred
there. 1t is proven conclusively to US that
Applington instead of being copperhead
community as charged, is thoroughly loyal
community, and We regret exceedingly that
we were the means of doing the citizens of
that place great injustice. We have re-
ceived the following card from prominent cit
liens Of Applington, and most cheerfully
give it place in our columns, and it will be
noticed that Mr.. Bisbee himself heads the

A half dozen would stand at charge bayonets,

ell would show his head, and they were all
ready to charge upon him. One old lady
seemed very submissive, but considerably per-
turbed. She asked permission of Col Mont
gomery to go across the road to her neighbor.
The colonel of course gave consent at once,
and very politely escorted her over. As she
was leaving the house she called to Maria to
take care of the house, which she Immediately
did by locking the door and conceaing her
self, so that when her mistress returned she
could gain no entrance to her own house, the
frightened servant having taken herself away
out of hearing. After some time she succeed

pine of the soldiers was excellent, and they
should receive no harm whatever. They ex-

The intelligence of the death of George d.
Rice in hospital at Newbern, N. c., one of
the youthful volunteers of the Massachusetts
5lst regiment, has sent grief and anguish un-
utterable into Il household bereaved of an
only son and brother, and saddened the hearts
of large circle of sympathizing relatives and
friends. A modest, unassuming youth, of cor
rect principles and habits, his character seemed
likely to develop into manhood of uncommon.
stability and moral culture. From a high
sense of duty, and from motives of the purest
patriotism, he deliberately and willingly gave
himself to his country's cause, and was well
prepared to meet all the priyations, hardships,
and contingencies of soldiers's lot, with that
| courage and fOrtitude which simple, heart
| felt, confdng trust in God'S protecting care is
pre-eminently fitted to inspire. Some months
| previous to his enlistment as a private i'll
the 5lst he had made public profession
of his religious faith. More reverentialy
and seriously inclined than many of his age
he was Il regular and constant attendant at
church, and always engaged, either as scholar
or teacher, in the exercises of the Sabbath
school, while remaining in his native town.
He had also completed thorough common
school education at the Wiliston seminary in
lllS Sttle. IIllIS MIN lOf any department Oh
business which his tastes, inclinations. or po-
siton In life might naturally lead him to adopt,
giving fair promise of filling any such station
with responsibility and usefulness. But,
though cut off thus early, with hopes and as
piratons untulflled, and prevented by sick
ness from participating with his fellow soldiers
in the dangers, victories, and glories of the
battle field, we trust he has not lived or died
| in vain. He has lived to manifest his loyalty
to his government, and to bear his testimony,
| humble and ineffective though it might have
been, against those who have conspired to
overthrow it. He lived long enough to ind-
cate his adherence ofslavery, and his love of
justice, liberty, and equal rights for the whole
human family. He has lived to give his
youthful associates the benefit of a christian
example, and, so far as we can learn respect
ing him, to obey the repeated injunctions of
pious mother to ''stand up for Jesus, amidst
all the vices and temptations to which he must
necessarily have been exposed Said the
writer of the letter giving intelligence of his
death, "'We never had occasion to reprove
George for any misconduct or neglect Of
duty. He was a good soldier" May these
considerations sustain the heart-strcken pa
rents, sisters, and relatives of the deceased,

last resting -pace, in hope of a glorious resur-
rection and reunion the precious remains of
a son, brother, and friend. Com.

VyiIberforce and Buxton,

The London Times publishes, and all the
copperhead journals this side the Atlantic copy
with exultation, letters from the sons of these
eminent abolitionists, dissenting from the in
creasing English opinion in favor of the policy
of emancipation. Sir 7. Powell Buxton said
in substance that sit was grievous crime to
stir up instruction and servile war; and this
was the meaning of the presidents proclama-
ton, if it had any meaning at all" The
younger Wilberforce, whose only title to con-
sideration is, like Buxton's, that he bears the
name of his illustrious father, FASTENED to re-
spond to the sentiment. But the voices from
their fathers graves speak louder than their
living sons. When the agitation of the slave

New YORK, March 23.-The World says

with the signal book of the rebel army. Gen.

A private dispatch received here says that
Farragut passed Port Hudson batteries on the
night Of the 18th, with his fleet. Col. Clarke,
chief of Banks staff, was wounded on the
14th, but not seriously. No big fight has yet
taken place. Gen. Banks is in good spirits,
and within five miles of Port Hudson. The
wounding of Col. Clarke makes it pretty ev-
ident that there has. been some heavy Skin
mishing.

Commodore Farragut, leading in the Hartford,
