ohio Election New. ON picker.

The Chattanooga correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Commercial gives -ur
account of the reception of the news
of the Ohio election at headquarters
of the Army of the Cumberland, and
of its effect upon the rebel pickcts ia
the vicinity of our lines: 80.
The ncws Of Val.s defeat, when
announced to the Ohio troops, caused
a good deal of genuine hearty cheer
ing, such as have heard after the
reading Of an official dispatch on dress
tparade, proclaiming signal victory
for our troops. Tue noise attracted
the attention of the rebel pickets on
our front, and many of them inquired
what it all meant. The following
conversation on the subject took place
in front of Fort Wood:
Rebel" Say, Yank, what's all that
noise about p

Union" Yes, he is, honest"
Rebel--(vocifcrously )-."Oflcer of

The officer of the guard made his
appearance very shortly, and asked
what w0e wanted. Tho rebel picket
replied, " Brough's elected and Val

What Ohio Is Doing for Sick and
Wounded Soldiers,

In his report of the Sanitary oper-
atoms, DIR. j. 5. Newberry says:
"As you are probably aware, the
State of Ohio occupies conspicuous
and enviable position among the no.
BILE sistcrhood who have given so free
ly of their treasures and their blood
to save our country from ruin, and to
maintain, in purity and permanence,
all our free institutions. Among the
the forms in which her patriotism has
exhibited itself, not the least worthy
of mention is her general and earnest
support of oui philauthropic organi-
zation. AS have before stated, aside
from all that has been done by indi-
viduals, other organizations, and the
State Government, Ohio has now FIR.
nished to the Agencies Of the Santa
ry Commission, $4,000 packages Of
supplies i'm other words, half of
all that has been contributed TO the
Sanitary Commission in the valley of
the Mississippi. This great elficien
cy which Ohio has manifested in our
work, is unqucstionably due, for the
most part, to the early organization
Of three branch Commissions IN her
limits, each OF which has been most
earnest and untiring,-and two, that
OF Cincinnati and Cleveland, managed
with wonderful energy and skill, have
been pre-, minently successful anl
useful. That Of Columbus, though
accomplishing less than tue others
named, has done noble work, which
will compare favorably with that of
any other similarly situated in the
land. With the working Of the branch.
es at Cincinnati and Cleveland, you
are already considerably familiar, as
you have visited them, have witness
ed the perfection of their lnetheis
and have seen abundant evidence Of
the great good which they have ae-
complished. E. lsg.

TURNING THE TABLEs.--The Day
ton Journal thus turns the tables up
on the copperhead grumblcrs in Ohio,
who will not he comfortcd for the de-
feat of Vallandigham:
Notwithstanding the watchfulness
of the Union men, the copperheads
succeeded in importing enough voters
into Ohio to increase the vote for
their ticket several thousands. The
rascals therefore have q double sin to
answer for--the sin of colonizing, and
the sin of not colonizing enough to
succeed in their rascality. This must
he q soothing reflection to them.

THE Tricks OF THE TRADE EXPOS

posted with regard to the sentiments
and motives which control the Dem
ocratic leaders in this State. 1t de.
scribes both as follows:
We doubt not that large portion
of those in the opposition are playing
ther card. cunningly--that they are
anxious to stop the war: but knowing
that an unconditional opposition TO il
would I've so unpopular that they could
not maintain it, they make the sup.
preston of the rebellion one of the
planks of their platform. The com

ny A correspondent ofthe Bloom.

ry- A correspondent ofthe Bloom
ington Pantagraph relates an amusing
incident which took place at the cap.
ture Of Little Rock, Arkansas.
A Rebel surgeon, by the name of
Crosdell, got beastly drunk and took
a room in n city hotel and went to
sleep. In the meantime our men drove
the rebels through the town in com
plete rout, and took possession Of the
place. Several of our officers put up
ut the same hotel. After awhile the
surgeon awoke from his slumbers and
came down stairs in front of the ho-
tel.
Come" said he to the officers,
"lct's go ont 10 camp
"What camp 2" says one.
-" Dobbins'," of course.
What command do you belong
TO ~ says the rebel to General Steele.
The latter explained
well, said the surgeon, it beats
Rip Van Winkle that man cannot
go to sleep in the Confederate States
without waking up in the United
States
Since then he has taken the oath
and gone to st. Louis; thinks c. s.

A FRATERSAL IIIT. of the
Friends, a country and city Friend,
had dealings. One day the country
merchant called on the who esalc
house to settle an account. In adjust
ing the details, there was some differ
cnce in the views Of the parties, and,
as often happens, the country dealer
was dissatisfied with some of the
charges Of the city house. At last,
however, everything was settled, the
money paid, and receipt in full ta-
ken, when the country merchant ad.
dressed his city friend as follows:

The Democratic Party Responsible for
Secession and Wnr.

A great many Democrats of the
Butternut persuasion, blinded by par.
ty prejudice, or willfully dishonest,
persist in holding the Republican par.
ty responsible for secession and the
war--a war in which the nation is at
present involved. They are either
too much prcjudiced, or too false to
acknowledge the fact verified by the
history of the country, that secession
was concocted by Democrats, the war
inaugurated by Democrats during the
administration Of a Democratic Pres.
ident. Not by subordinates in office
not away Off from the Executive
mansion, but by those in daily coun.
Gil with Mr.. Buchanan, right under
his nose. 1t may be wounding to the
pride of Democrats to admit these
facts, but they are true-true hey ond
a question-truc beyond the possabil
ity of adoubt. In evidence, we wisl
to remind those inclined to hold the
Republican party responsible for Sc.
cession aud the war, that the follow
ing events transpired before the in.
auguration of President Lincoln,
March 4, 1S63--and during the ad.
ministration of Mr.. Buchanan:
Dec. 10, 1S60-South Carolina Sc
cedcd.

Jan. IL, 1S61--Florida seeded.

dent Lincoln was not inaugurated un-
til March 4, 1861; so that secession
was promulgated, and war actually

ocratic party, and not the Republican
party, is responsible to the country
for the growth, the development OF
secession and war. Any man who
says to the contrary, bellies and falls.

AsKIN5 FOR A PAss.-The Buffalo

of a prominent railroad gentleman
who is equally renowned for his abil.

You are IN the employ of the
railroad? p intcrrogated the gentle
man alluded to.
"Yes."
You receive urpay regularly?
Yes"
"Well, now, suppose you were
working for farmer instead of a rail
road, would you expect your employ
er to hitch up his team every Satur-
day night and carry You to your
home p
This seemed poser, but 1t wasn't.
" No" said the man promptly 81
wouldn't expect that, but if the far.
mer had his team hitched mp, and was
going my way, ! should call him q
darn mean cuss If he didn't let me
ride"
Mr.. Employee came out three min
utes afterwards with pass good fol
twelve months. Served him right.
