A NUMBER OF REBELS HUNG.

n VT ltEDELO LINO'
We wish it TO be distinctly I'M
derstood, that the following re-
marks have no allusion whatever
to certain stockholders in the Eaton
Democratic Press, nor YET to honor
able men who are sure to pay us
for their paper; but we do allude
to many Others of our readers, who
appear to think that all they have
to do, is to read our paper without
ever pa jing for it. To all such
unjust and unreasonable men we
say, that a list of your names will.
henceforth, be printed and suspend,
ed in our office, and a copy of sale
list will be, placed in the hands o
II lawyer for immediate collection
AS we have given SO many notice.
to you in our paper, this notice
will be the last through that me
dunn. If we cannot make you pay
we can, and we will make otherI
doubt your honesty. Beware w
cannot serve you for naught.

THE TOWN OF LAWRENCE, KAN
SAS. BURNED DOWN.

We have from Leavenworth, the
astounding news that QUANTREIL,
with 800 to 1000 men, went in the
night to the town of Lawrence and
burned the place, Killed some $50
Of the citizens and destroyed tho
millions Of property! We shall
wait for more authentic news,
when we shall have more to say
on the subject.
This QUANTRELL was one of the
outlaws of Capt. JAS. MONTGOMERY
and old JOHN Brown, who after
the horrible raids of jim LANE and
JEXNIsoN into Missouri, raised an
opposing bard Of guerrlllas, and
what LANE and JENNIsoN left Of
property, he QUANTRELL) has been
destroying. We called attention
again and again to the manner iDa'
was carried on IN that country, but
only got curses from the Adolf
tioniGts and Jay-hawkers for our
trouble, and now we have thi;
horrid record to make.
We see among the names Of
those said to be killed at Lawrence
some of the best men of the place
whose lives had been threatened
by Laue and Jennison for oppo.
sing their plundering acts. Some
also Of those who defended then
and divided the spoilS, are among
the slain. Those who justified
Land and Jennison have no reason
to complain Of this act of Guam
trell.

to show that there is neither law,

We have lost more than twenty sub
scribers since we came to Eaton,
through the daring conduct OF
these dastardly and unprincipIed
men and now ia the time when they
begin to withhold the paper, that
the voters may not know what is
going on. If the Democracy Of
Preble were fully awake to their
own political interests, they would
have long ere this time, put al
eternal stop to the doingS of sec

they can neither read, nor write

and 1865, will lay them in the pc

GEN. ROSECRANS' LETTER
TO THE DEMOCRATIC CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE OF OHIO,

GENTLEMEN Your favor Of the
4th inst. is before me-. You speak
in the name of the Democratic par.
ty of my native State--a party
with which have always voted.
| must, therefore, seize a few mo-
ments of leisure to reply.
1.-The State Of Ohio SAYS,
through her Legislature, she wish,
cs her citizens temporarily absent
from home serving in the army, to
have a voice in the coming State
elections. NV ears arc attentive to
her voice, and my heart responds
her wishes. If any citizens should
have q voice in those elections, it
surely ought to be those brave and
energetic men, the life-blood of the
State, who have stepped Firth
from home and friends, to offer
their lives for the defense of our
Government, our national exis,
tence, and the cause Of human
freedom, all involved in this com
test.
2.-No authority of mine will
be used in any way to prevent the
free and unbiased exercise of thai
fright.
st would be very inconveni
ent and incompatible with the in
terests of the service, to allow tht
stump orators and canvasscrs o
the rival tickets to come into thi
army to ply their vocation.
4.-As to newspapers, pamphlet
and other publications, none hav,
been or will be excluded on tn.
ground OF party politics, Blu
| do not belong to that sentiment
al class who weakly and timidl.
allow brawling license to stab tru
liberty. Hence. when any public
alton appear among us SO licen
tious, lying or traitorous as t.
} endanger the morality or be likcl..
to impair the spirit and vigor c
this army, [ feel bound by reason
, justice and duty to my country t
use my authority to prevent ii
circulation.
5.-Any action under color {
+ my authority inconsistent wit
these principles, is without wal
! rant, and, on complaint and adt
$ quate evidence, will be ledressec
Enclosed l send you q copy {
i, the Circular in reference to news
, papers. Very respectfully, you
lellowlcitizen,

BRUTAL ASSAULT.

We learn from a gentleman from
Brown county, Ohio, that j. &.
Doren, the amiable and gentleman
ly Editor of the BroWn COUNTY
Argus, was lately set upon by a
gang of Abolition rufians in Rip
ley township-the only Abolition
one in the county-and was most
shockingly beaten by them. The
villainous act has created great cx.
element among the Democracy
They are determined that the per
p%etrators shall be brought to i
condign punishment, or fierce and
swift retaliation will follow upol

We are obliged to our Hamilton
friends for tho official letter for
warded TO us, by means Of which
this somewha at lengthy notice has
been prepared, without our being
under any obligations to some per-
son or persons in Eaton, who had
large printed bills sent to them,
from Hamilton, and which we'e
circulated throughout our town,
but not one copy was left with us,
neither were we asked to hang one
up in our Office. We are also in,
debted to some Lewisburg Demo
Gratis, one of whom CAME to us, un
asked, and promised that we should
print their bills, and that no ont
else should do them , but they, il
would appear, reconsidered tho
matter, and thus went into another
State to get their work done. 1t l:
not remembered now, that whel
all the Democratic papers in South
western Ohio, with the noble eX
ception of the Dayton Empire, for
sock the cause Of Democracy, ant
remained silent on the subject 70
months, the Eaton Democratic Pres
hinched not, but boldly and faith
fully, from week to week, rebuke'
the misdeeds of the Administra
ton, and of its allies, the Abo
lition party. Now we have on

: two years and four months, in Ef

own pocket, as the Press ht

" old cause, and we have done so
l. as a man who has not a vote-ay
% that's the rub, and who does II

Or last Friday, the Dist instant,
the Democracy held q meeting at

between twenty and thirty armed
soldiers and citizens, and after

an indiscriminate firing with pis-

of m:n, women and children. The
