IA HEROIC KENTUCKY YNATRoN.-A let

ing incident:
"When Pegram's men were in Larncas..

and squad OF men rode up to the house
of Colonel Lendrum then absent in the
Unioniarmy, and ordered his wife To get

adding that she Thought they would find
a brigade fmen to apply the torch also.
Stunned by this unlocked for courage
and defiance of an unprotected woman,
they deemed it better not to carry their
threat into execution. The allusion to a
brigade of men was understood BY them

Assuming that one out Of every ten Rebel shots
struck-a very liberal allowance-it would appear
that the enemy fired over four thousand rounds.
Three fourths Of these, at least, were discharged
while the Monitors and Keokuk were within

three-quarters Of an hour, 80 that 1t appears

hundred discharges per minute Their fire was
excellently directed. Their guns were oil oil
heavy caliber, throwing g. g. 10, and ll-inch round

The enemy had few very effective Whitworth
guns playing upon us. Several Of the steel pointed

The Farmers Festival of Delaware County.


AS the time draws nigh, when for many
years our county Fair has usually been held
presume the question has often been asked
even by farmers, will they have one this
year? Will there be anything there worth
while this year? Will it be worth while to
go? And many such like expressions, caused,
perhaps, by the fact, that the one great ex-
citement is all absorbing at this time Let
no such thought enter the minds ofone in Del
aware County. If there ever was, or ever
will be, year when this joyful festival is need
ed, and will be blessing to the community :;
this is the time. As patriotism, religion, art,
genius, literature, reform; all have their ami
versaries land none have laid them aside even
now, although politics and war are having
their excitements, let not the art of husband-
ry fail of its annual peculiar festival. But as
the Summer harvest is ended and the strife
with weeds triumphant are given up, begin at
once to get ready for that two or three davs
of unalloyed pleasure in meeting with friends
and neighbors, comparing notes and for the
time being forgetting all differences of opip-
ion, religion or politics, and bring in your
choice well bred horses and short horned cat
tie or durhams TO fill those well prepared
stalls; and Gil those nice covered pens, with
your choicest sheep and fine breed of hogs.
and those coops with your fancy hens, geese
and ducks; and forget not those tables pre-.
pared to receive your rolls of nice golden but
ter and cheese, and for the display of YOUR
most luscious pears, fair and rudy apples, your
white and purple grapes, and other fine fruits
and sweetmeats; and the platforms to receive
your giant squashes, and pumpkins, and pota-
toes, and beets, and onions &c, &C., and also
that whatever particularly interests
you will most probably interest others
Therefore fail not to bring with you for ex-
hibitiOn, whatever you have of interest that is
proper to bring.

lion, is that supplied by the presence of every !

A Father Killed by His Sons.

Mr. John 5. Hollar met with a sudden and
terrible death, at the hands of his own chill
dren, In Bertram township, Iowa, on Saturday
the 1st instant. The Register says:
Mr.. Hollar had been engaged nearly all the
forenoon in driving out some unruly cattle
which got into his corn field. When be return
ed to the house he found that his wife and one
of the children had gone out blackberrying.
This added to a great deal of irritabilitv, and
be made some threats as to what he would do
when they returned. He then ordered his two
sons, one about seventeen and the other fifteen.
to go to one of his neigbbor's, Mr.. CambelPs.
to bind oats. The boys, knowing their fathers
disposition, saw storm was brewing, and re-
fused to go until after dinner, thinking their
mother would be home by that time, and they
would protect her in case cf trouble This
refusal brought out an awful storm of wrath
from the father, and be seized his axe and told
them that he would split them open if they
wOuld not go. One of the boys tried to escape
through the house, but he was met at the back
door by his father, who made pass at him
with the axe, but missed him. The boy then
took Eack through the house, snatching a shot
gun as he went. He was met at the other
door by his enraged parent, with the uplifted
axe. The boy fired upon him, the charge
doing no injury besides tearing the shirt. The
father then took the gun away from his boy
and tried to shoot him twice, the gun failing
to go off each time. At this juncture the
older boy came to the rescue of his brother,
and the father turned upon him a scuffle en-
sued for the possession of the gun, during
which it was broken, the boy getting the
breech and the father the barrel By well
directed blow the boy knocked him down with
The breech, but he rose TO his feet, and was
about to strike with the barrel, when the boy
Wresled it from his grasp, struck him blow
over the head, which broke in the skull and
1illed him almost instantly. No one blames
Lhe children, who only acted in sef-defense. }

Mr.. Pugh and his CoIonelcv.

Mr.. Pugh had the bad taste to raise a uues-
tion of veracity with Gov. Tod in regard to
his application to the Governor for the colo
uelcy of regiment; and besides the ill-breed-
ing, he was so unfortunate as to raise this uues-
tion when he was in the wrong, and when ii
came to be so shown to the public satisfaction
The principal facts are stated in the letter
from Stubenville in this paper.
The point made by Governor Tod was that
a year ago Mr.. Pugh felt very different about
the war, and be mentioned as an instance of it
that Mr.. Pugh then applied for a colonelcy OF
regiment.
MIR. Pugh pronounces this lie. The cor
respOndence which we publish shows that Mr.
Pugh was ostensible anxious that troops should
be raised ard the draft enforced without DELAY.
This, when compared with his present declara-
tions, will show greater change than Cover
nor Tod instaDced. 1t seems that Mr. Pugh
accepted an offer of the command of u regi-
ment which it was proposed to raise, and that
be applied to Gov. Tod for authority to raise
the regiment as proposed. s. It is only by very
nice technicalities, and at the expense of his
veracity that Mr.. Pugh can say that he did
not apply to Gov. Tod for a Colonelcy. If it
were important it could be shown that pre-
vious to that Mr.. Pugh expected an appoint
ment on the STATIC one of our most enterpris-
ing Generals, since dead, but was disappoint-
ed.
Mr.. Pugh's exhibition of bad temper over
this statement Of fact in no way discredita-
ble to him then, seems to admit that his pres
ent position is inconsistent with his expressed
desires at that time. Mr.. Pugn is aware that
TO put Vallandigham in command of q regi-
ment would be mere treachery; therefore, since
he has become the same as Vallandigham, his
former proposition to take command of a reg
iment in the war is a disagreeable reminis-
eenc.-[ Gin. Gaz.
Strange it is that associations should make
such a wide difference in a mans sentiments.
From the above article it seems that Mr..
Pugh was, at one time, not only favorable to
the prosecution of the war, but even offered
to command regiment or to accept any po-
sition where he could be most useful. Won
der if the gentleman remembers the speech be
made in 81, in which be said he " hoped when
he did aught to embarass the government in
its efforts to crush this rebellion and protect
the liberties of the American people, that God
would wither his right arm?
But 'tis natural that when man ass ociates
with traitors, he should be ashamed to be con-
sidered as ever having been loyal man.

The Inramous Eve.

When the bill for raising money
to pay our soldiers in the field was
put upon its final passage in the
United States House of Representa-
tives, it received a vote of one hun
dred and fifty in favor and five
against it. The names of the five
memb bers who voted against paying
our brave soldiers were Clement L.
Vallandigham, of Ohio, now an out
law in Canada, having been convict
ed of completely with the rebels,
Benjamin Wood, of New York, re-
elected Representative in Congress,
editor of the New York News and
active instigotor of the riots in that
city. Henry G. Burnett, of Ken
t1cky, expelled from the House OF
Representatives for treason, and
now in the rebel army. Elijah Nor
ton, of Missouri, who ran away from
home, and now is in the rebel army.
John W. Reid, of Missouri, expelled
from the House of Representatives
for treason, and now in the rebel ar
my Dayton Journal.
A beautiful conclave of traitors,
all having met with just condemna-
tion by the Representatives of the
people except Vallandigham and
Wood, who, for reasons to US unex-
plainable, were suffered to retain
their seats in the National Assembly
and make it the scene of their efforts
to aid their fellow traitors of the
South to overthrow the Government,
Partial condemnation has already
overtaken Vallandigham, and at the
October election it will be so full,
strong and overwhelming that he
will never more be heard of as 9th
er than a traitor to his country,
evincing even less nobleness of spir-
it than Arnold, and not only his
name, but the names of those who
placed him in his present position
before the people of Ohio, will ever
be remembered with the utter de-
testation due traitors, by the whole
loyal people of the State and Nation.
