VALLANDIGHAWs RECORD.

We have had upon our table for sew
eral months, Vallandigham's Record,
a book Of 248 pages, published and
circulated by his friends as AN elcc-
tioneering document, and sold at both
the Bookstores by his friends. The
ohio Eagle of June Nth, endorses it as
follows
VALLANDIGHAM's RECORD. - Val
landighams Record can be had at
either of the bookstores in this city,
1t contains his principal speeches and
his votes in Congress. To be posted
every voter ought to have copy
And the Hocking Sentinel Of Aug,
5th, another Vallandigham sheet, as
follows: ...
"Yallandigham's Record is one Of
the best documents for circulation
among the people"
With such endorsement our Demo
cratic friends will not doubt the gen.
uinenoss of the book. We ask every
honest man who intends to support
VaIlandigham, to examine the record
for himself and see what Vallandig-
hams principles arc and what his acts
have been, and not to depend upon
what any political speaker or leader
says of him.
We ask the friends Of the Union to
take this record and distribute it, Civ

Will Jesus Save Ne?

A short time ago, on visiting a hospital, |
saw a youngsman in the las. stage of con-
sumption, and asked him if he was prepared
Cor death. He looked at me with great ear
nestneSs as | spoke of the all-suficiency of
Jesus, but he remained silent. Two days at
ter, on entering, he grasped my hand and
with tears exclaimed. - an lost! Tam lost"
| had much ~satisfac. ion in directing him to
that Saviour who came to seek and save the
lost; and on leaving, l gave him " Come to
Jesus" The next morning, when | vent to
see him, he was taking breakfast; but so
anxious was he for the bread Of life, that he
made the nurse remove it, that he might lis
ten to me and l will never forget his ear
nest look when he said, Twill Jesus save
me ? I am such a great sinner" Suitable
direction was given him, and the truth that
saves the souls was fully brought before him.
Next morning | observed a great change in
the expression of his countenance, and | ask
ed him if he thought jesus could save such a
sinner as he was? "He HAS saved me-" was
his immediate reply. lie wished to know
more of Christ, and maintained the beginning
of his confidence steadfast to the end. On day
on speaking to him ofJesus as the foundation
he quickly caught the idea and SAID Il see
| see | must rest upon the Rock" Wher
reminded that he had been a great sinner, h
said he had found Christ a great Saviour
and be appeared to have such a view of tn
work of Christ, that the sinner was lost il
the glory of our Saviour.

Are there any Achans among Us?

When the three thousand men Joshua
had sent from Jericho to All had been utter
ly defeated and routed by the enemy he
knew that there was some "accurseG thing"
lurking in their midst. The capture of Al
was regarded as involving no hazardous con-
sequences. Yet the compact and we'll dis
ciplined army which had, On so many occa-
sions, given proof of its prowess, was sud-
denly checked in it's victorious march and
ingloriously routed by an insignificant force.
Something was wrong. There was an Achan
in the camp! The " goodly Babylonish gar
msnt, the sheckels Of silver and the wedge
of gold" had been pilfered and secreted in
one of the camps! Here was the cause of
defeat.
If the sin of Achan could bring so much
disaster to a whole army, may We not, by
some accursed thing. entail disaster upen the
cause of religion? And, in our struggle for
independence, are we sure that there are no
Achans in our camps? Is there any embez-
element going on? ANY robbing of the gov
eminent by officials and others? Any plum.
dering? Any unnecessary destruction of pri.
vate property and trampling upon the person
al rights of our citizens? Any gambling
drunkenness, frolicing. and sporting with
the destiny of this great country? Look
well to these matters, for if there be an Achar
in the camp our doom is liked.

After giving an account in the southern
Presbyterian of Yankee outrages in North
ern Mississippi and Western Tennessee, DR..
Waddel, says:
These are the men of the Northwest
the men who boast that they are Democrats
the men who are grossly insulted if you class
them as A~boltionists or even Republicans
the men with whom so many of our Southern
friends are anxious to enter INTO Union again
yesl this is the class, and this is the conduct
which has characterized them towards a brave
and chivalrous people, whose armies are
struggling for liberty and whose citizens are
enduring all sorts of privations and making
all manner of sacrifices for the support of
the same holy cause. These men have the
impudence to talk to us about reconstruct
ing the Union Union with whom? With
men who have desolated our homes, insulted
our women, butchered our men, desecrated
our churches, and even violated the sanctity
of the graves, from which even beasts would
shrink, except the foul hyena whom they
resemble. When such a Union takes place,
the lamb and wolf will come together. This
Union will be consummated when Southern
records of Southern wrongs shall have been
erased forever from the tablet of faithful
memory, and that will Pc never!
No sir, no sir we have shown that We
are able, under Gods blessing, to defeat
their best laid schemes for our subjugation,
and now, what they cannot effect by fail
fighting, they aim to accomplish by those
weapons more familiar to them, intrigue an6
fraud Trust it not, sir, it will prove a snare
to your feet" said Patrick Henry in refer
ence to the British Government during tn.
Revolutionary struggle. The warning is M
less applicable to these Northwestern Yam
KEGS now"

"A Fearful Portrait"

Under this impressive head the Philadelphia Sun
day Mercury publishes the following extract from a
letter of a staff officer in one of the brigades of Sher-
mans Division of the army of the Southwest. 1t is
written in camp on the Tallahatchie river, and the
writer, says the Mercury, was decidedly opposed to,
and used all his influence against what he con-
sidered the absurd and suicidal policy of protecting
rebel property" The letter says
| believe the time has come when [ am ashamed to
acknowledge that l belong to the Union army. Of
all the disgraeeful proceedings that | ever witnessed,
l think what | have seen on this march, caps the cir
max. Two thirds of Sherman's army is composed of
new troops from lndianna, Illinois and Wisconsin,
and they have come down here with the intention of
burning and destroying, and well are they carrying
out their intentions. The whole line of march is one
continued scene of destruction. Private dwellings
burned, women and children driven out of their houses,
and even the clothes stripped from their backs to say
nothing of acts committed by the soldiery which
. would almost make the blacklist hearted libertine
blush for shame. This very day i have witnessed
scenes from which l turn with loathing and disgust.
True, stringent orders have been issued against these
excuses, but / fear they will do no good. The only
sure remedy is for General Sherman to shoot about q
dozen OF these Internal rascals in the presence of his
whole division; but whether he will resort to any such
stringent measure remains to be seen. I have al
ways blamed Union Generals for guarding rebel
property, but / now see the necessity oft. Not SO
much to save the property, but our own safety de-
mands it. Three weeks of such unbridled license
would ruin our army. -
l tell you the truth when I say we are about as
mean a mob as ever walked the face of the earth. 1t
is perfectly frighttul. If l lived in this country, |
never would lay down my arms while a Yankee"
remained on the soil. i do not blame Southerners
for being secessionists now. | could relate many
things that would be l~aughable if they were not SO
horribly disgraceful. For instance, imagine two pri-
Yates in an elegant carriage, belonging to some veal
thy Southern nabob, with . splendid span of horses,
riding in state along the road we are marching over,
with a negro coachman holding the reins, in all tho
style of an English nobleman, and then two small
drummer boys going it at q ~two-forty pace, in an ell
egant buggy, with a fast horse, and the buggy loaded
with q strange medley of household furniture and
kitchen utensils, from an elegant parlor mirror to
pair of fire dogs, all of which they have ''cralnped'
from some fine house, which fro sheer wantonness
they have rihed and destroyed. Hundreds of sucl
scenes are constantly occurring along the line of ou
march, as ridiculous and absurd, as they are q burn
ing shame to the army of the Union"

MISGELLAER0US
The Dying South Carolinian.

Next morning after the battle of Gaines Mills, asl
was looking for implements with which to burJ, the
dead OF my company, ! came upon a quiet spot where
the ambulance corps had brought together a number
of our poor fellows. too desperately wounded 10 De
carried even to the field hospitals in the rear. Here
they could conveniently be furnished with water ana
the few other comforts which their condition allowed
during their remaining hours. Ny attention was par,
ticularly attracted to one whose stalwart form ana
manly features made him a marked otJect, even
among the heroes laying around him. 1t was evident
that his end was nigh, though his face was calm ana
his eye still bright.
Going to him, | enquired if he was much hurt. lie
replied, Yes, [ must soon die" and showed me MS
wound A crapeshot had shattered his shoulder and
penetrated deeply into. bis vitals. He said the snot
still remained in his body. Struck with the resigned
expression Of his countenance, l asked hlm ol us
preparation to meet death. He told me that oeiole
he left home, he had been a careless sinner out since
entering the army he had been reading the Bible, anc
this had led him 10 serious reflection and now, that
he was about to die, he felt that though a great SIN
ner be could trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. lie
had but one regret, that was the thought OF now
much pain his death would give his sisters and bis
aged father, whose only son he was. Tears trlckied
down the checks OF the dying soldier as he spake OF
the grief these loved ones would suffer. Still his IAN
guage was that of perfect resignation to the VIII OF
God.
Ny duty allowed me but q few moments to stay
with him, and with a few words appropriate to his
situation, I pressed his hand and babe him :" good
bye" commencing him to the blessing OF zoo. MY
regiment was soon ordered forward in pursuit of the
enemy, and | never saw the young man more. But
] have often thought of him, and it has frequently oc-
CURED to me that it might be a consolation to his
friends at home, to know the happy and peaceful
frame of mind in which he met death, and which,
perhaps, he may never have made known to any one
but myself-a total stranger.
l would have written privately to his friends, but l
knew not how to direct the letter. | only remember
that he said he was an only son, that he had sisters
and a father at home, and that his name was Nesbitt,
of York district, S. G. l have written this ommsni-
cation to the Presbyterian, hoping that by this means.
his family may learn the above facts, and be consoled
in their sad bereavement.
