citizen of this county, of the 1lSth

Ed. JEFr:-As it is al idle time
with me in camp, have betakcn my
self near by the banks of Licking riv-
er, under the shade of n stately beech.
with marks upon it doubtless made by
the pioneer Daniel Boone, in order to
communicate to you, and through
your good paper, some facts that
may he of some interest to you and
the Union patriots of old Hancock,
who have stood firmly by the cause of
our country and humanity--may the
God Of mercy and justice bless them.
Your peace has been broken by u
party falsely and fraudulently called
II "pcace party" and friend to the
soldier, far from his home and fire
side; and who are continually de-
nouncing the Administration, and the
doings of military men-but not a
word in condemnation of JEFF Davis
and his cut throats.
o. yes, Mr.. Nallandigham, Pugh.
Pendleton and Olds, we are well post
ed, and will remember you. You
have shown yourselves worthy boot
blacks for jeff Davis and his cabinet
of rascals. We have that same class
Of men in the army, wearing the Fed
eral uniform; they are always howling
and complaining; and rejoice at any
| little reverse we may meet with: they
give no word of cheer, but their re-
marks and conversation are Intended
and have the effect to discourage their
fellow soldiers; they read the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, are admirers of the
above named gentlemen, and men of
that class generally.
When we heard of the fall of Vicks-
burg. and Gen. Meade's success in
Pennsylvania, the hearts of the patri-
ot soldiers leaped for joy: we looked
for it, and were ready to rejoice, and
give vent to our feelings; but the de-
| spondcnt groups scattered about pro-
nounced it false; they looked sad,
and no doubt gave some credcnce to
the 'rumor,' as they called. The En-
| quirer, however, after considerable
delay, confirmed the news: it is bible
authority with some of soldiers, who
ought not to be here. The contirma-
ton of the news, however, saddened
their hearts amazingly; SO you see
which Union patriots rejoice.
The men of the peace party, VINO
carry the devils purpose behind an
angels face, are sad, and look woe-he
gone. They have clamored much
about their exiled friend Nallandig-
ham; and the cruel treatment of the
President towards him He was sent
South to his friends; but he ought to
have been sent to hotter climate,
with Pugh rs door-kecpcr, to usher in
the blood stained national assassins.
Since our victories have become SO
common, Vallandigham men are get
ting scarce; they are beginning to
conclude that the surest way to attain
peace is to prosecute the war to the
bitter end. We all want peace, hut
we want it in the right way. Rebels,
ground your arms and go home, and
you will have peace---never before.
BY tho way, how do the peace men
like the visit of John Morgan among
them. If they could see the same
dcsolation in Ohio ns l have seen in
Kentucky, they would cry for peace
in another way. Their cry for peace
is well nigh played out" men will
learn sense by sad experience, if in
no other way. wish the people OF
Ohio could hear the candidate foi

man. He is one among the first

ing majority.
Letters have been received her,
from the peace men, advising desert
ion, rendering protection, and asking
aid to resist the draft. May hay,
fled from their homes to avoid tn,

upon their lips; while your peace mel
have melted riots and done everything
possible to break the peace. They
would doubtless rejoice over the sue
cess of the rioters of New York, owe
the civil and military authority.
Information comes to us that Judg,
