A RUMPUS IN TOPHET!


Come gentle muse and touch strain,
Twill echo back the sound again ,-g
On scenes that pass'd, we now must dwell,
8 When old John Brown arrived in He'll. y
8 When Pluto heard old Brown was hung
Old Tophet with Hosannas rung - s-g
For well they knew the lying thief,
Would make for them an honored chief.
Brown to receive they now prepare,
All eager in the Joy to share
Old Satan from his throne came down,
And left his seat for old John Brown.
{ Notiong for him, indeed, they wait,
For soon hesthunder'd at the gate, sr.F-
rs.Come njassays Pluto, "Quickly come, las
You're welcome to your fiery home" haa
Three cheers roll'd forth in accents brief
: To hail the Abolition chief. -

And hear me welcome brother Brown"
eYou're welcome, j JoEn, to your reward,
You've cheated Riddle and the Lord -.
Though pearly gate wide open few,
They did not catch my servant true.
As oft you've murmered, lied and stole,
1t did rejoice my burning soul; ~.
You've run your length in earth's career,
And we are pleased to see you here.
You'll take your seat at my left hand,

Be not surprised, when I tell you, =
Old Abraham is coming too.
There on my right that vacant chair,

And soon know that he will come
His earthly race is almost run.

A triune group we then shall be,

'Gainst taking in the motley crowd
For we'll know they'd 11e dethrone,
And swear that Tophet was their own.
Let Summer, Stevens and their host
When they on earth give up their ghost
Into a lower hell appear, sl5-.5.5 i t.,,-5 i
We have no room for them up here
The Clergy, too, I much do fear,
Attractions laws will draw them here
Their earthly eachings-theugh tell,
Are doctrines long since preached in hell.
They, too, must find lower home,
For hither sure they shall not come
We are crowded now in every spot,
Save here and there vacant lot.
( These I've reserved through all fights,

That corner lots for Backbone Tod,

Laugh at the woes of his old friends,
Till his curs'd life in horror ends. sr.4r,
There's other traitors I could tell,
They are too mean to come to he'll
So let each go and hunt his hole,
For green backs here won't pay their TOLL
And now, o! John, on earth oppressed,
You are with US welcome guest; 10
On earth you played our part full well,
So now with us forever dwell"

BEGINNING TO SEE THE TRUTH.-The
Washington Republican makes the following
significant statement; SO ~.
"We are to-day no nearer the possession of
Virginia than we were in April, 1861, and it
is doubtful if the military strength of tho re-
sistance to us has not increased in quite as
great proportion as our own. 7 hat is the
plain truth of the case, and we may as well
look it in the face. '1o.- ei aaoEE afssi =
ssIt would seem that the President has look
ed it in the face, and has become satisfied that
the repression of this rebellion by merely
military measures is an impnssibiity. That
was obvious to sone from the start, and to in
creasing numbers as events have progressed. I"

An Overwhelming ImprOmtu De

From tn Ohio Statesman of Saturday.
An Overwhelming ImprOmtu De-
mOnstratiOn
Gov MEDARY was absent from home on
Thursday night, when the outrageous assault
was made upon his Office, having visited Gin
cinnati that day to be present at surgical
operation to be performed on one of his grand
children. Last evening, just before dark, it
was ascertained that he would return home in
the nine and a half P. NJ train. Immediately
many democrats of the city determined to
meet him at the depot and escort him to his
residence and for that purpose several hun
dred, accompanied by seersbachs band,
carving the Fifth Wa41zDahner, der Parted in
that direction about half past eight o'clock.
From this indication and no other notice, the
news ran, and it was received, the people took
up the line of march, and thus the crowd in
creased at the depot, until by the time the
train arrived, there were thousands on hand
The Governor was taken from the cars by
the people and borne on their shoulders to a
carriage in waiting, from which the horses were
disengaged, and he was hauled by the popu-
lace, preceded by the band and fo flowed by
an immense procession up High street to the
American, where Judge Thurman welcomed
him hcme in a neat and very appropriate speech
In reference to the occurrence which brought
out the demonstration and in treating the sub
ingIy distinct, clear and happy, aud all that
he said was wall received by the vast audience
Gov Medary in responding was very much
affected and indeed embarrassed by the unex-
pected and extraordinary demonstration, and
spoke with much feeling. His remarks were
we'll received and were very appropriate. Of
all the numerous speeches we have heard Gcv.
Medary make, his brief speech last evening
vas the most pertinent and appropriate.
| At the close of Gov. Medarys speech, other
gentlemen were called, and among them Hon.
Milton Sayler, who responded in very happy
manner HTzesz EEse
We were not in position to take notes, and
hence are not prepared to give any extended
abstract of the several speeches, and indeed
our space to night would not admit of it, were
we otherwise prepared.
L The mass of men at that meeting was no.
BILE spectacle. 1t was composed of patriot cit
.izens who were indignant at the outrage, and
who came together to bear their testimony
against it. It was composed OF firm and true
men-lovers of the Union and law-abiding
| citizens, who are not disposed to trample on
| tho rights of others, and are determined to
| maintain and defend their own.

MOB VIOLENCE IN CoLUMBUs.
From Ine OIaleslIaH OI FrIuay.
5VfOIenee in tl,e Capital of Ohio.

VlOACuce HI InG OaPAt<hA Va SAAAVs
On Thursday night about 10 o'clock, some
fifty or seventy five men, representing them
selves as soldiers from Cump Chase, and armed
with swords, and revolvers, forcibly entered
the editors rooms of The Crisis and destroyed
whateverthey could lay their hands on. No
person connected with the Office was there at
the time, and the work was accomplished and
the mob left in few minutes. They also
made an effort to gain admittance to the press
rooms of the Statesman Office from the alley,
in the rear, but officer Davis and some Of the
employees meeting them there, they retired,
doing no damage, beyond forcing open the
door.
eBy some singular coincidence the city police
except one) did not happen to lie in the
heighborhood of the city in wifi ch The Crisis
Office is situated, at the time of the disgrace
full transaction. The remark was made among
some Of the participators in this outrage, that
they had no fear of the police, and it was said
among them, interrogatively, DID NOT GOV.
JOHNSON TELL Us TO DO SO .ta.-+q-F.z x
Our readers will bear us witness that it has
been the constant effort Of tho Statesman to
impress on all men obedience to law and order,
and it shall be our effort still to impress this
duty upon all good citizens but if the prop
erty and lives of citizens cannot be protected
by law, then the question is forced upon the
people, as to the mode and manner in which
this object can be accomplished. IF it be ex-
pected that the people will tamely submit to
such indignities, those who thus delude them
selves, whether high or low, in official position
or out of it, will find themselves mistaken.
We do not say this by way of threat, but it IS
not for one moment to be expected that such
outrages will be quietly submitted to. The
opposition to the Democracy in this city have
as much interest in maintaining law and order
as any other men under the sun, and we hope
they will fully appreciate this fact.
A notice will be found in another column of
our paper for meeting at the City Hall on
Saturday evening to- consider what steps are
necessary to protect private property will
be large assemblage of the friends oflaw and
order. 2rie sa i'a1F5 -

FROM RICHmONn.

Washington, July l0.-The Richmond En-
qurer Of the 9th contains leader giving Phil
adelphia aud Washington over to pillage, and
our own Baltimore to its own people, aud Gin
cinnati, the city of strychnne whisky and fat
pork to flames." The Despatch compares Lee s
maneuvre TO that of Hannibal at Canne, and
promises the Confederacy $4,000 soldiers from
Maryland. The Examiner mentions as ridicu-
lous a report VIA jackson, that Vicksburg has
surrendered and the garrison been paroled The
other papers felicitate themselves upon reported
successes of Johnston.
Washington, July l0.-The Richmond Dis
patch ofthe 7th has long editorial, showing
that Lee started out on campaign, on the idea
that Hookers army was much reduced, and
claiming, a result of the invasion, the capture
of Winchester and the defeat of Meade, thus nee
essitating the abandonment of Baltimore and
Washington, and allowing Lee to march on both
cities. The article concludes thus: eat any
rate they will lose all Pennsylvania, this side Of
the Susquehannah and our troops will have il
for the support ofthe the war. If Lincoln de-
pends upon raw leves they " II be slaughtered;
if he brings on Rosecrans, Bragg will recover
the whole of Tennessee; ifhe calls up Grant, he
must abandon all designs against Vicksburg.-
Whichever way he turns an insoluble difficulty
presents itself. Nor is it at all improbable that
he may have to leave Washington as he entered.
We are surprised that he remains so long.

Editor Journal; Such time CLYDE has new

forced itself upon their minds Immediately.

was the drinking of wine, which, occupying
conspicuous place, was INDUCED in to a fearful
extent by the youth of our town, and also by

of some seemed heightened by stimulants rather
than occasioned by the natural expression Of
happiness from joyous hearts. As the excite
