Ssmmes Denounced as q Coward by
a Negro.

A gentleman writing from Martinique to
a friend in Washington, relates the follow
ing anecdote Of Semmes, and the sympathy
for the United States among the blacks on
the island:
''When the rebel Seumes was in Mar
Unique year ago, with the Sumter a
mulatto named Pearson, a lawyer and a
very wealthy man, took occasion to denounce
him for cowardice in the Hotel des Bains,
with the intention of provoking him to
duel. The friends Of both parties nterfered
and the duel was prevented Pearson, with
whom l am well acquainted, stated to me
that it was his intention to 20 to America,
and endeavor to obtain command of one of
the negro regiments there. He was ten
years soldier in France.
when the Alabama attempted to leave,
some time since, the negroes lined the quay
and gave the alarm. and also sent up rock
cts to ind cate the direction she had taken.

The April Township Elections.

The Columbus Statesman, Crisis, Cincin
natl Enquirer, and Democratic organs Of
the State generally, are urging upon the
people the importance to their party Of car
rying politics into all the township elections
this spring. They urge strict party or
ganization and tickets from road Supervi-
sors up to township Trustees, and exhort a
full vote in view OF the important State
contest next October
Such being the fact, every loyal voter has
duty to perform. Every man who has a
relative or friend in the army, should re.
member that the ballot. box in April will
speak encouragement or Encouragement to
the brave soldiers away in distant service.
They have spoken their loyalty and devo.
ton to the country and its cause by deeds
as well as words, and they will hold no Un
ion man guitless who fails, without good
reason, to discharge his duty at the April
election.
At this crisis old party feuds and anilnos
tiles must be laid aside, and true men and
patriots stand shoulder to shoulder in sup.
port Of the Union and the Government.
Former party antecedents are nothing now
the existence of the Republic is what al
have to vote for and to fight for. See tc
it, loyal men of the Reserve, that disIoya
sympathizers are everywhere rebukeC
through the ballot boxes Such response
to the appeals from our soldiers in front OF
the rebel foe, will give more courage to thei
hearts and more strength to their arms thar

The Attempt to Inaugurate Civil
War in Ohio,

An armed insurrection in Ohio, to pro.
tect deserter and resist the United States
authorities by force of arms, demands seri.
Gus reflection on the means by which this
danger and disgrace have been made posi-.
BILE in the patriotic State of Ohio. The
maliguants engaged in the actual outbreak
will probably suffer the penalty of their
crime. The safety of their neighbors, who
are menaced with every danger, where these
combinations are strong, demands that it
shall be demonstrated by example that such
crimes cannot be conspired or perpetrated
with impunity. But the responsibility e1-
tends beyond these.
This attempt to inaugurate civil war in
this State, is the legitimate result of the in.
flammatory agitation of the Democratic
eaders and journals against the war for the
defense Of the Government. The miser-
able malignants of Noble county are being
gathered from their binding places by the
United States authorities, to be brought to
punishment but the leaders who melted
this rebellion are here and at large, going
about the State stirring up the same hos
tility and violence, by the vlest misrepre.
sentations, and appeals to ignorance, pre-
judice and passion. These are they who
are chiefly guilty OF this crime. The Noble
county insurgents are tools of the more
cowardly, who would kindle conAagration
by their seditious instigations, while they
themselves are practicing nice lodges and
tricks Of speech, which, without abating
their inHammatory effect on the more igno-
rant, shall save themselves from all risk. -

The Results of the Detroit Mob,

The people of Detroit have appointed a
Committee to solicit subscriptions and afford
temporary relief to the sufferers by the late
riot. The Committee report that they have
extended relief to about one hundred and
fifty persons, including children. OF these
ten are white persons. They found six
colored men so much injured as to be utterly
helpless. Three Of these were turned out
of doors-their houses having been entirely
destroyed--and so terribly beaten that but
little hope is entertained of saving their
lives The men, named Fletcher, Pierce
and Boyd, were taken to St. Mary's Hospi-
tai, where one of them, Joshua Boyd, a
cooper by trade, and anindustrious, upright,
worthy man, soon after died. Huston and
the two Bennetts, all severely wounded, ere
cared for at their own homes
Mr.. Boyd had amassed some money, with
which he intended to purchase the freedom
Of his wife and two children, who are still
slaves in Virginia. The mob of Detroi,
devils plundered and murdered their inof
fensive victim, solely because God had given
him skin not oolored like their ownl

Gen. Sigel's Letter.-His Creed.

An immense Union meeting was held at
the Cooper Institute, N. Y, last Friday
evening. Among other distinguished men
Gen. Sigsl had been invited. He could not
attend, but sent the following letter, the
reading of which was received with great
enthusiasm:
"WAsHINGToN, D. g., March 20, 1862
II cannot be president at the Inauguration
of the Loyal National League this evening,
but send my best wishes, and request you
to enroll my name among its members.
"[ believe that the self preservation of
the North and the preservation of repub-
lican principles on this continent, have
made thi. war on the part Of the United
States Government necessary, and that
there can be no rest until our arms have
triumphantly established the rights Of man
and the majesty Of the law over the whole
South.
"All the talent and energy, the wealth
and resources of the people should be laid
on the altar of the nation; and If the Gov
ernment will employ all these agencies and
trust in men Of energy and character, un-
fettered by petty jealousies, to brs4k the
ranks of the enemy in front and at home,
this war will be speedily ended.
"We must have the sharp sword as well
as the sharp pen-the strong arm as well
as the strong and fearless mind, to help us
in the terrible struggle. The people must
awaken those who sleep, and stir up those
who are creeping along instead Of march
ing onward with selfrelying boldness.
II believe in the Monroe doctrine, in the
Butler code, in the Presidents proclamation,
In the good will and perseverance, Of the
people, in the undaunted courage Of oul
volunteers, in the final vindication OF the
honest, the just and the brave; in the liber
alton Of the down trodden &the slave, and
in the overthrow and death Of the southern
ohgarchy. 4

operations in making the arrests alluded to
ABOVE, was to send out at night number Of
squads, OF five OF six men each, who would
scour the country for miles around, visiting
all the houses, barns &c, in the neighbor-
hood. On calling at house aud finding no
one at home but the female portion OF the
iaami'y, the soldiers would make inquiry for
the men-ask where they we're, &c, and
would almost invariably be told by the wo-
men that they had started away few days
ago on 6usiness-that they were good loyal
men and had not fled to prevent being ar
rested. 1t seems little strange, to say the
least OF 1t, that SO many meu Of the same
nneigh5orhood, should have business away
from home at the same time, and leave,
TOO without telling their families where
they were going, or when they would re-
turn.

The Lowest Deep of Infamy

These war times have been prolific in
bringing to light traits of character in a
portion of our people, anything but credit
able to the exhibitors, and which has caused
proud and sensitive people to hang their
heads with shame. Had any one told us,
before these evil times fell upon us that any
one reared and nurtured under our liberal
institutions could be guilty of such an in.
effabe act of meanness as we are called
upon to record, we should have pronounced
it libelous and an unjustfiable aspersion,
and exclaimed "Is thy servant dog that
he should do this thing?" 1t appears that
the remains of deceased soldier by the
name of Mccullough was brought home for
interment to Salinevile, where he formerly
and his family still reside. The neighbors
of the grief stricken widow gathered about
her to soften aud alleviate her affiction, by
bestowing those acts and attentions which
death under any circumstances always call
forth from sympathetic human nature. -
Among these persons thus engaged was one,
who had gained notoriety in that com
munity by his opposition to the war, and
sympathy for the murderers of the dead
soldier whose stffened remains was before
him. When the last sad rites this side the
grave were finished, aud the corpse lay in 0
widowed and fatherless house, awaiting the
funeral ceremonies, this man2 Mol this
libel on his species, this counterfeit present
ment of humanity, entered that household
of sorrow and bereavement and in the
coolest and business like manner, presented
the widow of Union soldier, who had died
in the service of his country-with pursei
no slip of paper which on examination
proved to be his 'biW' for services render
ed in helping to lay out the cold, dead body
of the soldier who had died in defending
his country and his flag What think you
is the lowest deep Of iufamy reached? 1

Deserters,

The newspapers throughout the North
should urge upon deserters to make haste
to the camps where they are notified by
proclamation of the President that they will
be received up to the first Of April. 1t is
all.important that the deserters should be
gathered up at once. There is no doubt
whatever that most severe policy will be
inaugurated toward them after the days Of
grace expire. They will be relentessly
hunted up and punished according to law.

tickets, composed of good and true men
who are for vigorous prosecution of
war until this wicked rebellion is put down,
without an 'if'' or "but" Put in nomi-

then go to the polls, on the first Monday
in April, and labor to elect them. Let
there be no dissentions in our ranks at the

men and give them your united support.
