Senator Trumbull.

One of the Chicago Abolition organs
thus speaks of him:
"Senator Trumbull takes his stand by
the ride of Vallandigham and Fernando
Wood. Freedom of apcech to utter trea-
son and destroy the Union is now his doc
trine.
"It is just such conduct as that of Mr..
TrumbuIl in Chicago that will put Cop
perhcad in the Presidential, chair. 1t is
this contemplate, sncaking cowardice of
leading men, who should stand up for the
right, that makes the cause of the traitors
strong. "Mr, Trumbull is recognized
as tho champion of Coppcrhcadism; and
he can have the satisfaction of rejecting
that he and his friends have done more in
jury to the authority of tho President in
one hour than they can ever remedy In the
balance Of their worthless lives -

says;-
"Ono of the most valuable veins Of pc;

on the Farrell farm, Oil creek, Nenango
county, Pa. The well commenced fow-

to height Of fifty feet, with roar like a
hurricane, and escaping at the rate Of two
thousand barrels per day. A stop cock
was got on after much trouble, and the
flow can now be regulated to suit the de-
mand. Another flowing we'll in the vicin-
ity was so affected by the opening OF the
new we'll. that its yield decreased over
three hundred barrels per day. The Far

fifty feet deep, was at last accounts flowing

prices now ruling at wells, would yield the

A REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER COMES
OUT FOR VALLiNDlGllAM.

The following from the Delaware (Ohio)
Standard, Republican newspaper shows
how Mr.. Vallandigham is gaining strength
in Ohio. The Standard was formerly a
Democratic paper, but on the commence
ment Of this war went even over to the
Aboltionists, and remained with them un-
til its editor saw that the policy that party
persisted in would inevitably destroy the
Union. Here is what that paper now
says:
To-day we again place at our head tho
banner of Demo cracy, with G. L. Valan-
digham and George L. Pugh, as its Stand
ard bearers. In SO doing we know that
wo shall encounter the most violent oppo-
sition, and prescription, from q certain
class, that we have ever met with during
the whole course Of our long and oventiul
political carcer-but this shall not deter
US from doing our duty, maniully, but will
only nerve us 10 greater diligence and
perseverance, in the cause Tor the re-es-
tablishment Of our now DISTRACTED country
to its former peace.
Two years experience for war, and a
support Of the present administrations,
National and State has .ufficed to convince
US and others that if the Uniou is ever re-
stored it will be through the influence OF
men who are now denounced as traitors,
sympathizers, buttcrnuts and copperhead..
Being satisfied Of this, from what We see
daily transpiring, we are in oil justice
bound to act accordingly, regardless, OF
what some persons may think of our course
When this unnatural strife commenced we
were among tho Grst for war, but wher
the administration commenced its uDcon
stitutional and arbitrary arrests our yea
began to slackcn. We hoped that the pow
er, that bo might see the error Of such q
course. But thus far we have seen NJ
disposition to return to the Constitution
and laws Of such cases---a law too signet
by Mr.. Lincoln. Regarding the oath VI
took on becoming citizen of this. country
to support the Constitution Of the United
States, as binding under all circumstances
we shall ever act so as to discharge thi
} duty-sceing jeff. Davis and his rebe
crew disrcgarding its provisions we wcr
for war on thom-and since the admin.
tration persists in nullifying some Of it
most wise and wholesome guarantees 70
the protection of liberty and q republca
form of government, we are for a vigorou
and constitutional warfare, through th
, ballot-box, to drive it from power, in du
time, and all others who sustain its policy

Major-General Reynolds.

In the first great battle on the soil of
Pennsylvania, the State has to mourn the
loss Of one of the bravest and most distin-
guished Generals that she has given to the
army of the Union. Major General John
Fulton Reynolds was MORALLY wounded
on Wednesday last in the battle near Get
tysburg, and has since died. He was born
in Lancaster in the year 1920. lie grad
uatcd at West Point in lS4l, and was ap
pointed Second Lieutenant in the Third
Artillery. He became First Lietenant in
lSlG. In the war with Mexico he served
with distinction was brevetted Captain
for Monterey and Major for Bucna Vista.
Subsequently he rendered good service in
California and in the Indian country
When the civil war broke out he was a
Captain in the Third Artillery; out in
May, 1851, he was appointed Colonel of
the Fourteenth Infantry. lie was appoin-
ted Brisadier General of Volunteers in
the following August, and within the last
year Major General of Volunteers. In
September, 1861, he commanded at Cheat
Mountain, Virginia, when the rebels, un-
! der General Robert Il. lee, attacked him
in strong force and tried to drive him from
his position. They were rcpulscd hand
somcly several times, and finally retired.
In 1862 General Reynolds was attached
to the Army of the Potomac. lie served
with gallanlry in all the battles of that
army in that memorable year. In Septem-
Der, when Pennsylvania was threatened
with invasion, he was placed ia command
of the forces organized for the defence o.
the State, and to his skill and energy VT
were greatly indebted for the check giver
to the enemy. lie commanded division
under Burnside, and when General Hook
er was placed in command, he was assigned
the First Army Corps, which he has com
manded ever since. A distinguished ca
reer has been brought to glorious end
The hero, John Fulton Reynolds, has fal
len for the cause of the Union upon tn
soil of his own State Pennsylvania shoulC
render every honor to his memory.

A SINGULAR SPECTACLE IN BATTLE
AT the battle of Stone River, while the
men were lying behind a crest waiting, a
brace of frantic wild turkeys, SO paralyzed
with fright that they were incapable of
flying, ran between the lines and endcav
ored to hide among the men.
But the frenzy among the turkeys was
not SO touching as the exquisite fright Of
the birds and rabbits. When the roar Of
battle rushed through the cedar lhckcts
focks of little birds futtered and circled
above the field in a state ofuttcr bewilder.
ment, and scores of rabbits fed for protec-
ton TO our men lying down in line on the
left, nesting under their coats and creep,
ing under their legs in state of utter
distraction. They hoped over the field
like toads, and as perfectly tanned by frigh
as households pets, Many officers wit
messed it, remarking it as one of the mos
curious spcctacles ever seen upon the bat
tle-feld.

VINO ARE THE FRIENDS OF THE Sol
DlERs AT the late Democratic Mass
Convention in Springfield, Illinois, the sum
of SAT 900 was raised for the benefit of the
families of Illinois volunteers. On the
same day Redublican Convention met OF
Columbus, Ohio. That body did not
raise dollar, but passed in lieu the fol-
lowing resolutions:
ReSotUed. That immortal honor and
gratitude are due to our bravo and patri-
otto soldiers in the field, and everlasting
shame and disgargaco to any citizen or
party who withhold it; that, sympathiGing
with the army in Its hardship, and proud
of its gallantry, the lovers of the Union
will stand by it, and will remember aid
and support those who arc disabled, and
the families Of those who fall fighting for

support Of families, or those who merely

peg There are ono hundred and fifty

have made fortunes, varying from $780,

months, some by stocks, some by contracts,
some by shoddy, some by contracts, some
by stocks, some by selling bad vessels to
the Government, some by crackers and

at the watering places.
