ness ofh his fallen Chief of Staff in the fol.
lowing: -..--'.-r..
"Col. Garesehe was killed by my side.
A cannon.ball passed directly behind

he was killed, he asked my permission n
to retire for few moments from the EN- =.

A Counter Rebellion.

The rebel journals give accounts of q
pretty extensive rebellion against tho
Confederate Government that has lately
broken out in the Northern part of
Georgia and the Southwestern corner of

partially armed for resistance to the reb-
Ell authorities. Col, G, W. Lee, Of the

The Brave Soldier.

The following paragraphs are from
speech delivered by the celebrated John
B. Cough. It is very seldom that we
meet anything more touching and elo-
quent. His feelings for our brave sol.
diers are such as pettade every true
American heart

eyes were filled with tears, and my

over the graves of these heroes we viii

they died, and there is a generation
that will come to stand with heads un
covered by the graves of the dead sol

The Right Spirit-True Unionism.
The Baltimore American, one of the
ablest papers in the Border States, gives
utterance to the following sentime nts
and patriotic avowal of the indestruct-
ible creed of TRUE UNIoNIsM:
. 1--WE of the Border States know no
party; and VIC recognize but one policy;
that Of prescribing the Constellation and
saOing The Union, no matter svhdt petiy
organization is tramplcd mder foot IN
the march on,oard to these ends. We are
ready to postpone every consideration
which provides q for political triumphs
until the Union is restored, the rebell-
ion crushed, as it deserves to be, by the
poioer of the Government it has defied
Compromise peace on any terms hu-
initiating to the Government and in
recognition of the right of secession, we
repeat is Infamous, and above all names
for infamy is that which goes for peace
based upon separation, disunion." !"
This is the spirit of true and uncom.
promising loyalty. Compared with this
high-tOued sentiment of patriotism, how
despicable and yillainous do the parti.
san intrigues and disunion schemes of
the Copperheads appear. With them
country is nothing, Constitution moth
ing, the perpetuation of free institutions
nothing, the glory, honor and welfare
Of the generation that now is and the
generations that are to come, all are
nothing to them as compared with the
insane lust of political power, which
they would grasp by party means for
aggrandizOment and peouniary
emolument. a Ha .re ae- ..aa

Education OF the Deaf and: Dumb
in Ohio.

The Deafand Dumb asylum At Colum-
bus, is one Of the oldest of our State
charities and stands first also among
the useful. Tho Thirty-sixth Annual
Report of tho Board of Trustees and
Officers, shows that 1872 pupils were un-
der instruction during the past year; liz
males and 20 females. Present number
in attendance $50, 9S males and so fe-
males. Good health has been enjoyed
and no deaths occurred among the pupils
during the year. The pressure for ad
mission has been unusually great, and the
officers have been compelled to exclude
more than half of those who are Of
suitable age for instruction, from lack of
room. The Importance of more spacious
and commodious buildings is forcibly
shown by these facts. The subject
has been before several Legisla lures, but
as yet nothing in the way Of a new and
enlarged Asylum has been accomplished.
The opposition to sale of the present
valuable site in Columbus and the pur-
chase of new location, has been the
principal obstacle. Butfor this, it is highly
probable that an Educational Institu-
tion for the deaf and dumb-iudustrial
and physical as wella mental and moral
would years ago have been establish
ed on a suitable farm, and on scale
commensurate with the needs of this
unfortunate class of young in our State.
The RECEIPTS of the Asylum the pas
year from all sources were $4,000, anC
the expenditures 1926. A total mp
prOpriatiou of S17 900 is asked by thu
Trustees for the present year.
A few facts stated in the report o
the able Superintendent, Mr.. Collin
Stone, will give some adequate impres
sion of che greatness to which the be

Some Statistics about Ohio.

The Sixth Annual Report Of the
Commissioner Of Statistics has been
made to the General Assembly, from
which number of items of interest
have been CLEANED.
Commissioner Mansfield thinks that
the ratio of troops required from each
State should have been based upon the
entire white male population Of the Uni
ted States. Upon this basis he shows
that Ohio, Indiana, Massachusetts and
one or two other States have furnished
more than their just proportion of men.
The aggregate white male population
in the loyal States in 1860 was 0,972,-
865. To this number the per centagc
of the whole number Of volunteers call
ed out by the President, exclusive of
three months men, is 1908. Ohio
having white male population of l.
III, ,72O, her quota, under this rule,
you'd have been III ,423. The most
reliable figures, show, however, that the
State has now l58,729 men to be oc-
counted for, as being either in the field,
dead, sick or absent, which is Al ,205
more than she was strictly required to
furnish. The object of the Commis
sioner in making these calculations was
simply to show how nobly the State
has responded to the Presidents calls
The labor abstracted from the State by
this drain upon its population is equal
to S47,6l9,400 per annum; but this
will be no serious loss to it, as the wa.
ges of the soldiers will about balance
that amount.
The report estimates that Ohio viii
pay this year war tax of S20,843,
$50 Of, of which there will be collected
by the General Government Sl4, 600, ,00(
under the internal revenue laws anC
S6,000,000 by duties. The remaining
S943,S69 OIL will be levied by authority
of the State-S3lO,681 Fl for war pur
poses proper, and S533,1 80 for thu
relief of the families of volunteers.
