Again. it seems perfectly plain from
my standpoint, that TO drag these
erring brethren out of the state
without lawful warrant, is a direct
and palpable violation of the Consti-
tuition Of Ohio, an insult to her peo.
pie, derogatory to her dignity and
subversive of her sovereignty. If
they have violated any law of the
State, let them be prosecuted, indict-
ed, tried, and if any of them should
be so unfortunate as to be convicted, /,
ls them be sentenced to the Peniten.

dance with established laws and the
usages Of the courts. As one of the

A shrewd trick was recently practiced IN
London. a dandy, dressed up in the most
faultless style, called at . large jewclry
store. and, after short examination, bought
. gold watch for f20, and he handed the
rejoiced salesman fl0o note. He exa,nin
cd it carefully, and. finding it to be genuine
he gave him back the required change. ESQ
just as he was stepping out Of the store, ho
was met by another dandy. equally as we'll
dressed, and whom he seemed to recognize.
He exhibited his newly bought watch to his
friend, and was ve-y profuse in his praises,
about 1t and its fine finish. Both stepped
back into the store, and short persuasion
on the part of the first daniy induced the
new conner to buy similar watch for the
same price. He also paid for his watch
with floo note (the English dandies do
not trouble themselves with small change)
and received his chan ,e. after the experienc
ed dealer had satisfied himself that the note
was genine. But just as the last dandy
was in the act Of pock citing the money aud
watch, both daudes suddenly appeared very

The constable laughed right out, and ask

DIR. George w. Caldwell, OF w els
burg, who was picked up by Morgan,
in the southern portion of this County,
Saturday, as guide, tells rather
rich anecdote upon one Of our JEFF
erson County "Butternuts." 1t ap-
pears that the gentleman in question
had his best "harness" on, and was
from all appearances, on a courtin'
expedition -s'gay," in anticipation Of
"happiness in the prospective. But,
alas how soon fond hopes are some
times blsted |! He came suddenly
upon Morgan's advance, and when
called to halt, and surrender, showed
great alarm-his "knees smote to-
gether, and his ears quaked like as
pen leaves" He was taken charge
of by rough.looking private, lily
clad, who at once became quite fa'
miliar, with our "hero. "sA conversation
sprung up between them-from which
it was evident "corgenial spirits" had
met, for once. Mr.. "Butternut" said
he was democrat-had voted for
Observation-Disclosures the South
the agrieved party-and, if they had
got their rights under tho Constitu--
ton, which they should have had, we
should have had, no war. But the
Rebel private, aside from liking for
our Butternut fellow citizen took a
fancy for his nice broadcloth panta-
looms, and at once proposed trade.
But MIR. Butternut "didn't see it, in
that way. He preferred to wear his
own,-but the rebel was inexorable;
and Mr.. Butternut was invited, with
out any further equivocation, to step
into the next fence-corner, in front
ofthe Regiment to make the exchange
where he was compelled to haul
off, which he did, very reluctantly,
bnt to the infinite mcrriment of the
rebel soldiers, showing at the same
time-that, while his outside apparel
was in full proportions, his neither was
made in compliance with the strict
est economy. for his shirt was with
out tail. However, the exchange
was made-the rebels pantaloons-
about the color of a mixture of equal
proportions of Kentucky clay and
Missouri mud, were found to be about
foot too short for Mr.. Butternut.
But this was not the only misfortune
that overcame the gentleman who
thought the South s'hadn't her rights
under the Constitution for he made
the very unwelcome discovery that
he was in a dangerous condition.,
according to the latest treatise on
military tactics-surrounded by the
enemy, with an unprotected rear
And in this ridiculous condition, bet
ter imagined than described, "turned
out to grass" taking the nearest route,

from the summit Of the ridge, some rebel
-skirmishers appeared in the skirts of the
woods opposite the gap | nave mentioned,
and flung, perhaps, u dozen musket balls
into tue field. Instantly men, animals,
vehicles, became a mass of struggling,
shouting, frightened Life. Everything
and everybody appearel1o rush hcadIong
for the narrow gap, and men, horses,
mules, am~bulances, baggage wagons, ar
tillery carriages aud calscns were rolled
and tum5led together in a confused, in
extricable and finally m~otioAess mass,
completely blocking up the mouth Of the
gaps. Nearly all this booty subsequently,
tel into tie hands Of the enemy. Sickened
and disguised BY the spectacle, | turned
away to watch the operations, Of General
