eaY@ We call attention 20 the news
that "Old Rosy" has been removed, and
ordered to Cincinnati. Several weeks
since in letter to the Ohio Democratic
Central Committee, he avowed himself
Democrat. Immediately thereafter he
was ordered, and before he was ready
to fight Bragg. That order was intend.
ed to kill him. Gen. Grant will be dis.
posed of in the same way.

NEBRASKA must be a lovely place

NEBRASKA must be lovely place to
emigrate to. In the vicinity of the
South Platte river they have had no
rain for almost year, and the clouds of
dust and sand arise from what was once
the bed of the river. The ranches and
plains swarm with aeas, and there are
the best facilities in the world for being
miserable and uncomfortable.

How TO CONQUER BELLIeERENT BEES.
When tits discovered that two swarms
of bees are at war with each other, by
turning up the hive containing the at.
tacking bees, thrustirg a stick UP into
the honey, and fracturing the comb, you
will at once stop all further aggression,
and set the bees repairing the damage
done to their own empire, instead of try.
ing to conquer another.

Volunteers Wanted.

The Military Committee of this coun-
ty has been remodelled by removing
Kitchener and Kinsey for being Demo.
Gratis, and putting in their places Levi
Sargent and E. Burnett. The Commit
tee now consists of MeSsrs. Barnhill,
Burnett, Hildt and Sargent, (J. Laugh.
cad declining to serve,) all Republicans,
and the Governor, some days ago, called
on them to furnish the Tuscarawas quota
of volunteers under the old draft, some
go odd men-the same to be furnished
by next Monday, or that number must
be drafted.
Under the June call some 80 men
were raised in few days and sent to
Columbus, and the same number could
be raised now by energetic movements.
We hope the Committee are stirring
misunderstanding out handbills and
runners, calling meetings and getting re,
cruits The men are in the county, and
all that is wanted is to spend little
money and energy to get them. But if
the Committee do nothing and spend
nothing, why nothing will come out Of
it hut the disgrace of draft to our
county.
If we have draft for these few men,
every drafted man eau lay the blame to
the negligence of those appointed to get
volunteers.
Here is Tod's order, eight days old:
The STATE OF OHIO, }
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBUS, Oct. Is, 1868.
To the Press and The several Military
COMMITTEES:
Referring to my circular letter of the
twenty.seventh ult., have now to in
form you, that the time fixed for the
draft, is the twenty sixth Instant; hence
we have but few days left TO furnish
our quota by voluntary enlistment, and
thereby escape the draft.
1t is difficult now to fx with absolute
certainty, the number now due from the
State; it cannot, however, exceed Eve
thousand. Surely with proper effort
on your part, the proportion of this
number due from your county, can be
raised before the twentySixth.
Allow me then to urge that you make
the effort. DAVID TOD,
Governor.

of common fencing. With proper cultivation
the first year, it will attain growth in three
years to make compact, permanent and beau
tifSl fence, the cultivation being no more than
that given to row Of corn.
Its cheapness, beauty and durability will
give it the preference over all other fences for
