CoT. Croon,.

We publish in another place, taken from the
Ohio State journal, a couple Of short articles in
regard to ex-Col. Groom Is it not singular that
whenever a man is obliged to resign his com.
mission in the army to prevent him from being
disgracefully dismissed; or when he is dismissed
for treason, drunkenness, and for conduct un.
becoming an officer and gentlemen; or when
he deserts from the army, that he invariably
becomes either a Democratic orator, Demo-
cratic editor, or Democratic voter. All such
men take to that party as readily as tumble
bug does to pile Of manure, and its leaders
have become so utterly depraved and worthless
that they have not manhood sufficient left ia
raise a voice against it.

CIVIL WAR IN GREECE.

Boston, July 29.-Dr. King writes to tn,
Traveller from Athens Greece, under date of Ju.
ly 5th, as follows:
l am now in the midst of civil war. Party
spirits and love ofrule have divided the sold
lers and citizens into two hostile bands, and in
the streets and squares of the city, blood has
been flowing for two days. July lst and 3D.
the battle was incessantly raging and the sound
of guns and cannon told us that the work of
death was going on. Yesterday through the
intervention of the Ministers of three protecting
powers, France, England and Russia, truce Of
forty Eight hours was proclaimed, which will
end tonight or Tomorrow, and the above named
ministers have proclaimed that ifighting should
commence during the time of truce they will
all leave the place, go on board ships and invite
all under their protection TO go also and cut off
all connection with country from which true
patriotism seems forever exiled

Tho Buttornut meeting Last Night.

The Butternut meeting at the State House
last night was puny as well as phuny, affair.
Early in the evening the streets were paraded by
a brass band to get up crowd. Itwas followed
to the Theater, which was found in an unfit con-
dition to hold the meeting. There was some
tall swearing by certain gentlemen, familiarly
known as Nc, who cursed the agent for not
watching the building. The Meetingadjourned
TO the State House, where large number of boys
and few men assembled. The band played a
few patriotic (f) airs. Col. John O. Groom,
who resigned his commission in the army to
prevent being dismissed for disloyalty was in.
troduced, and screamed so loud that great
many went TO see what the matter was, but soon
went away in profound disgust. The boys got
sleepy and went home to bed, and by the time
Mat. Martin commenced speaking the crowd
grew very slim. Mat like the COnonel, thought
the Republicans did the dirt at the Theater, and
talked very much as il the Democratic party
wouldn't stand it much longer, Mat said a
good DEAL but we can't give it now. The meet
ing adjourned; Of course it did.-Coiuu,6us Jour.

County Convention.

By notice in this paper, it will be seen tina
the Central Committee have issued a call for {
County Convention to be held at the Cour
House in Fremont on Saturday Of nezt ,Oeek
August 9Th, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. 1t is
important that the Union men of the county
bear this notice in mind and that the attendance
be large. We trust that every township in the
county will be represented on the occasion. 1t
isto be an important Convention. All the Off
ces of the County, with the exception of Recor-
der, are to be filled. Good men should be Sc
lected to fill them. The invitation is to all 10y
al men who want the rebellion put down, and
the Government sustained, without regard to
past politics.

CausaIItIes OF Lee,a Armr.

The Baltimore american of last evening saws
Surgeon General Howard, of the United States
army, arrived at Baltimore this morning, and
had an interview with Major General Schenck
Upon unquestonable authority he reports the
following causalities of Gen. Lees army at Get.
tysburg: Left behind IL 600 wounded, 5000
wounded taken away by him. $500 buried by
the Federals, and 10000 taken prisoners; cap.
tured at Falling waters, of Gen. Pettigrew s com
mand, 1000 prisoners and 1000 killed and
wwounded-making an aggregate of 42,5O0 Of
Lees army.
General Howard reports further that only six
rebel surgeons were left behind at Gettysburg,
and with one or two exceptions, manifested the
utmost indifference as to the condition of tbei,a
wounded, nor did they leave any medical stores
on the field. This fact should be contrasted
with the battle of Charlottesville, where Lee
received medical Stores and surgeons from the
Federals who took good care ofther wounded

In Pickaway, Ohio, $500 have been raised by

soldiers in the army from that county. A sim

The idea is good one, and worthy of imitation.
The soldiers of Ohio are to have the privilege
of voting this fail, and for a true understanding
of the policies of the campaign, the loyal men Of
each county should see to it that their own
county soldiers should have their Union county
papers sent to them regularly each week until
after the election. The Union men of Picka-
