A Washington dispatch says:
The sentence Of John Nichols, a cid-
zen Of Missouri, TO be sbtd, for taking up

by the President
There are guerrillss now rowing
through this State, stealing, robbing
and numbering on their own respon-
sbility, aud not holding commits

ny counties are scourged by theee
miscreants IS severely as ever Mexico
was, and there is no security for life,
limb, or property. The infamous Hol-
man and his gang, some Of whom were
captured near Decberd tho other day,
are types Of these freebooters. We hope,
ere long, TO see the loyal men Of this
State strongly organized for home de-
fence, and cooperating with the Feder-
al troops in utterly exterminAiing the
guerrillss Of Tennessee. When they are
caught let them be shot or hung. We
regard their reformation IS = thing not
to be expected. Their oaths and prom

SUNDAY MORNING, SEPT 27, 1868
The Northwestern RaIItoad.


By reference TO our advertising col
umns IL will be seen that one thousand
lAborers are wanted Immediately on this
important road We ADVISE able bodied
negroes everywhere TO give their rebel
lious masters leg bail, and take position
on the line forthwith, with spade and
pick in hand. This road is Of the frat
importance In military point Of view.
Had II been completed two weeks $50
matters in front would be in far better
condition TO- day as the army Of tho
Mississippi could easily have been
thrown from Memphis to Chattanooga.
The proper place for every able. bodied
male negro, bond or free, in this State,
is on this road, or in the ranks. Loyal
masters will receive for their slaves the
sum of three hundred dollars, which is
far more than they will be able to get
one year from this date. This kind OF
property is fast depreoiating every
where, and the very best advice we eau
give our loyal slAveholding friends in
pecuniary point of view, is to get as
much as they can for their slaves, and to
get IL as quickly as possible. The long
sr emancipation is deferred, the less like
lihood there will be Of receiving any
compensation whatever, for slavery prop
erty. We urge every slaveOwner there
fore to put his negroes to work upon the
Northwestern road, or enlist them in The
Federal army. The former Ia the more
important work at this time.

The n. Y. Times makes the following
encouraging statement;
VALLANDIGHAM IN Oaio.-We learn
from gentleman who has lately traversed
the State of Ohio leisurely, from one side
to the other, that Copperhea dism is more
completely dead and "laid out" than
ever was political heresy in any State,
before actual election had consigned it TO
sculpture. War Democrats are declaring
themselves by hundreds and thousands.
Shrewd men, who have hopes of future
life, do not think il safe 10 show the
white feather in time of war. So that,
between patriotism and selfishness, the
hopes of the Copperheads are utterly
blasted. But the most striking fact in
the Ohio canvass is the extraordinary
unanimity and enthusiasm of the women
and children for John Brough, the oppo-
nent of Vallandigham. While thousands
Of these persons were seen and heard, in
cities and at depots of railroads, waving
handkerchiefs and shouting for Brough,
never a one had word for Vallandigham.
Judging by the popular manifestations
by the wayside, our informant is conf
dent that Vallandigham will not be
beaten by less than 100000 majority.
We hope that this prediction may be
even more than verified, as it certainly
ought to be. By the way, where are the
conservative" in the Ohio canvass
Which candidate are they supporting ?
Not Brough, certainly, for heis Radical,
and all the Radicals support him. He is
for wiping out slavery root and branch.
The conservatives are supporting the To-
famous Yallandigham. Every newspaper
of that stripe in Ohio, and elsewhere is
for him, and against Btough. Let the
public remember this, as it will aid them
greatly in determining the true character
and aim of that faction in Tennessee
which calls itself conservative.

ANgOUTRAaE.-Main street witnessed an
outrage, upon Saturday afternoon disgraceful
to Rayenna. A company of fifteen or twen-
ty village boys set upon a lad about twelve
years old, hooting at him, threatening him.
and undertaking to drive him as if he was a
wild beast. This kind of treatment finally
caused the boy to turn upon his tormentors,
when young rufian,l son-of V.K. Wood,
assaulted the unoffending lad with brickbats,
hitting him twice and hurting him cruelty
The boy sought refuge in Marvin's Shoe Store
and was not further molested. He was from
Aurora, and his only fault was that he had not
attained the wisdom of village boys, and so
he was brutally made an object of derision
and assault. The conduct of some village
boys is such that many of the smaller chill
dren fear to go into the streets alone-as they
have been chased, stones thrown at them, and
vulgar language used toward them.s Several
instances of this kind were related to us on
Saturday 1t is time there was an awakening
on this subject in this community. 4sg7
