Another Abolition outrage.

On Saturday last large Democratic
meeting was held at Eaton, in Preble
County, when an indeseribably infamous
outrage was perpetrated. As the Demo
cratic procession passed through the town,
a number of villainous Abolition women
and Abolition scoundrels stood on the cor
ners of the streets and threw stones and
eggs into the procession. The Democrats,
anxious to preserve the peace, forboro re-
sistance. The forbearance however was
not appreciated, There was delegation
of five hundred ladies in the procession ON
horseback The Williams fired number
of shots among the ladies, severely wound
ing four-two dangerously. Such is a

Facts to be Remembered.

The Constitution was adopted September
I7th. 1887, eud ratified by nine States, (the
number required to set it in mouon,) IN 1888
The last remaining State of the old thirteen
(Rhode Island) ratified the Constitution in
Nav, 1890. In the original Constitution oc-
ours the olause--"the privilege Of Habeas
Corpus shall not be suspended, except when
in cases Of invasion or rebellion the public
safety may require il" The Constitution as
it thus stood was afterwards amended--viz
in December 1871, nearly two years after all
the thirteen States had ratified the old Con
stitution.
The amendments are important, as they
qualify and explain many parts Of the orgi-
nal Constitution IL IS in the amendments
that the passages are found
"The right of the people to keep and beai
arms shall not be inlringed
"The people shall at all times be secure il
their houses, persons and effects against il
sea rchngs and seizures"
"In all criminal prosecutions the right o
trial by jury shall be preserved (except il
cases Of persons in the Military or Naval ser
vice Of the United States in time Of war
persons accused shall be entitled to
speedy trial by jury within the district i
which the oflense is alleged TO have been con
mitted"
"The powers not delegated to the FederI
Government are reSerped to the States or I

personal interview with Gen. Grant, which
was promptly granted. At P. N. the same
day the conference took place, about midway
between the front Of the contending forces.
Tie scene was witnessed by thousands of
federal soldiers, who for the first time in weeks
showed themselves with impunity above the
rifle pits; and during all these weeks they had
been within Eve yards of each other. Grant
came slowly and deliberately to the place of
rendezvous, smoking his cigar, and apparent
ly the only unexcited person in the vast as
semblage.
Pemberton first remarked that he had been
present when different fortresses surrendered
to the Federal arms in the Mexican war; in
these the enemy were granted terms and con-
ditions; and so he thought his army as well en-
titled to favors as foreign foe.
Grant listened; aud then proposed private
conversation, to which Pemberton agreed; and
the two Gems. stepped aside. What was said
during this conference can only be judged o.
from the results After little more than ar
hours time the terms were agreed upon and
the rebels surrendered.
Twas arranged that the Federal forces
should enter at 10 A. NJ. next day, July 4th
The rebels were all to be paroIed on the spot
the officers allowed to- retain their horses, and
four days rations to be taken from rebel stores
the prisoners he'd liable to exchange.
The enemy, numbering from 10000 to 80,
900 O, by this arrangement, fell into Grants
hands, along with small arms, forts, defences
sc. The cannon are plenty, and in quality E.
| quail to the best in the Confederacy.
After formal possessions had been taken o
the cityf Col. MARYLAND made his entrance
took charge of the Post Office ond agreed II
establish Federal mail routes with the rest o
| the world.
At 10 A. NJ. on the 4th, Gen. Steels divi
sion marched into and garrisoned the city
The bands played our national airs. The olC
flag was soon seen above the buildings wher

The surrender of vieksburg.

The great good news reached US yesterday
that General Pemberton surrendered the city
of Vicksburg, and all it contained, on The
Fourth Of July! 1t is impossible to overrate
the Importance of this magnificent achieve
ment of our arms. 1t is blow the rebellion
will feel in every part, and will not prove less
dsheartening to them than the defeat Of their
best General and greatest army on the bloody
hills of Gettysburg. Vcksburg was the place
that the rebels first dared to interfere with the
free navigation of the Mississippi River, and
it is fit that they should there suffer decisive
and crushing discontinue. On the evening of
the 18th of January, l86I-three months be-
fore they bombarded Sumter-nearly two
months before President Lincoln's iuaugura-
tion-a battery was plan ted at Vicksburg to
intercept steamboats, from the northwest
Before we had invested Vicksburg, military
men pronounced it the strongest place on the
continent. The difficulties in approaching it
were most extraordinary, and we do not see
how it could have been successfully done in
any other way than it was DONE JEFF Davis
has repeatedly characterized Vicksburg as
"the vital point" of the defences of the South
ern Confederacy, and no effort, no expense,
was spared to make it impreguable. An i'm
mense number of the best guns the rebels have
manufactured at Richmond, and those that
they have imported from England were sent
to Vicksburg, and the choice troops of the
southwest were posted there-and guns and
men, they are ours. Now if General Banks
has not finished his work at Port Hudson, he
can be reinforced to any desirable extent, and
the speedy capture of that place, with The reb-
el9rmy it contains assured. Our immense
fAkilla, on the Mississippi, will have nothing
to do but attend to the guerrillas, and can do
that with little difficulty. Having taken Port
Hudson Banks can clean out the whole State
of Louisiana. Grants great army relieved of
its siege duties, can complete the conquest Of
Mississippi General Joe Johnston will take
good care to keep out the way of our victori-
Gus legions. He did not dare attack Grant
on the Vicksbirg Heights, and he will hard
ly have the temerity to attempt to stand before
him.-[Cincinnati Commercial.

For the Delaware Gazette.

Mr. EGiter:
Your neighbor of the Standard seems to be
sorely exercised in dodging the missels, thrown
at his head, selected from his past record
The Editor of the Marysville Tribune has
hurled handful of these selections in the di-
rection of the Standard Office, and although
they were characteristically tame and insipid in
their original shape, they appear now to create
as much CONSERVATION in the mind Of their au-
thor as so many tOrpedoes or hand grenades
would have done if dropped at his feet in his
sanctum. In his terpidation he slips and jumps
about like flea on hot shovel, rushing be-
hind the records Of his speeches and editOri-
ais for years previous to the present unholy
strife"-behind the book fOrm" record of
Vallandigham-behind gArbed and disjOinted
extracts from the Constitution of the United
States, and behind the 'nigger," immaginiug
like the simple Ostrich, that while he thus at
tempts to cover the head of his offending, the
huge bulk of his inconsistencies and abandon
ment of principle are wrapped in perfect OBJ
scurity. Alas, how are the mighty fallen :
His splendid and thrilling orations-wbich he
humbly calls speeches-in condemnation Oi
the :" aecursed rebellion" his withering con-
tempt and scorn of the traitOr" Vallandig-
ham, his laudatiou of the emancipation Of The
"nigger," SO oft proclaimed from the rostrum il
old TempIar Hall and the classic steps of the
American and so periodically reechOed in the
columns of the Standard, are now forgotten oI
only rise up as ghosts to haunt him on his be-
nighted way to Dixie. YORICK.

Administration not feeling disposed to treat
with armed traitors in q manner indicating
their recognition as a foreign power. The ma
ture of the epiStIe sought to be delivered is not
known, but it is supposed to have had refer
ence to matters connected with the conduct of
the war. and properly adjustable by the mill
tary authorities. If JEFF. Davis wishes to COM

Ladies, we are about to leave you; the hour
of departure is near at hand; but we go with
brave, determined hearts. Our country has
called, and we have responded. Rebellion,
broils and manifold evils are laying waste our
once happy and tranquil land. Liberty, sweet,
glorious liberty, the pride of every loyal heart,
is tottering upon her lofty pinnacle, and men
who are justly styled Copperheads, Butter
nuts, Demagogues, Tories and Secessionists,
are talking with open impunity, forming Sc
cret societies, planning deep and deadly plots,
all over Freedoms sacred soil, for the over
throw of eur most sacred and benign institu-
tions; the overthrow of the best government
beneath the starry heavens, and all that is
most dear and Indispensable to a people and
nation OF freedom. But bark Retrioution's
wall is rising from every hill, mountain, plain
and valley, and ii we but listen to our own
hearts beating we can distinctly hear the om-
iEous word, ReVengel Revenge We know
we are but handful among the many thous-
ands who are now upon the tented field bat
ting for freedom, enforcement of the laws and
right, but our hearts are nerVed for the contest;
we go forth as common laborers, to defend our
homes, friends, kindred and country
Loyal hearted young ladies, accept our
warmest thanks and regards. May honor, un-
sullied and undefled, wisdom, purity, and
christianity ever be the prevailing character
istics of your lives. Yea will ever be borne
in remembrance by these who partook Of your
liberal festivities, and who esteem it a pleas
ure to again thank You for your generosity
and kindness. May your youthful pathways
ever be strewn with sunshine and flowers, and
may high heaven smile upon your young aud
loyal hearts, and ever aid you to keep in re-
membrance
True greatness and fame
