We publish elsewhere the returns from
Clinton county, which were wanting

ago, and whish have been the last to be

in the majority, as this was correctly
given; bat the total vote of Clinton coua-

Union vote Of 1852 is increased by 296,
and the COpperhead vote falls off 205.

Abseutees from the southern Arm :.

AN APPEAb FROM HON. II. B. HILL.
More than half the men-otlicers and
privAies-on Gen. Brsgg's muster rolls

kindness in the country, and taking pleas

Of Murfreesboro was lost. Everywhere

At the same time feeling the necessity OF

ton which Justice must accord to every
well meaning citizen in the Republic, and
which self-Fespect commands every free
man to aim at, the German Radicals, re-
nouncing all party allegiance and op-
posing all corruption, have pat an end TO
their powerless isolation by an Organiza
ton, the chief object OF which is to work
conformity with their fellOw-citizens o
American descent, of the same political
creed, for the realization of the p,inci
pies and measures following:
l. Integrity of the Union, and subor-
dinstion of the several States under

Man has no intrinsic greatness.
He is finite, and weak, and poor
and perishing, and can be great
only by associating himself with
something that is divine; some
thing that shall lift him uD into a
nobler sphere. And, therefore,
he who knows how TO cast him
self upon the stream of the divine
will, that is flowing through time
and the world, shall, by the di
vine power, partakn OF eminonce
and glory. He who appreciates
what is the divine life, and per-
ceives that God is great by the
good that he does, and is con-
cious That ne is conducting a
providence on earth that aims at
his own greatness; he who sees
through God in his providence,
and identifies himself with the
course Of events as it is divinely
ordered. shall take the hunilla-
tons that belong 70 t now, and
also the rewards which accrue
from it in the end. He who
knows how to identify himself
with Cops great moral courses
in this world, as revealed in each
age, is on the way to greatness.

The WORTHLESS DoGS.-Un-
der this heading the Ohio Farm
or cites an instance in which
twenty-five sheep were killed
and fifteen wounded, from one
flock, in a single night, by dogs,
and says all parts of the State
call for some legislative action
which shall allay the pest Of
worthless and useless dogs now
so seriously affecting the wool
growing interest. The editor
remarks that his warfare against
dogs would not be an indiscrlm-
mate one-he would spare the
noble dogs-but he is "after"
the two thousand worthless ours
that can be found in every com
munity os a thousand souls.
But he asks hor the evil is to be
removed-savs that all "dog-
Ilws" have thus far proved dead
letters or the statue books, and
adds:-"TO tax the dogs won't
remove the evi.-to enforce a
law which authorizes their
slaughter seems impossible from
the fear OF neighhoIhood quarrels
and next to a dog fight, fight
about dogs is the meanest Of all
difficulties. Our observation
goes to show that the meaner the
cur the more sacred he Is in the
eyes Of his owner, and you had
/ better BY far kick that owners
wife than his cur. The conclu
sion is, that dogs won't be killed
even If outlawed. But they mus
be abated; how shall II be done

who desires to speak to that ques
ton"

Plant trees, plant shrubs, and,
by all means, plant pleD;ifully Of
the small fruits. These last are
bidding fair to become almost the
grsat fruits Of the country. The
strawberry, the blackberry, the
raspberry and the grape, in their
present condition and modes Of
preservation, deserve every laml-
Tvs special attention. They are
pre.eminently the wholesome
fruits; and then their quick and
rapid growth, and great produc-

FRUIT IS. MALARIA.

Residents in the Western
States, and other regions where
interuiitteuts and similar diseas-
es result from malaria, state that
a Irregular supply OF ripe, home-
grown fruit, j. almost a sure pre-
ventative. Eat the fruit only
when fully ripe, and eat only
moderate quantities at a time,
and little need be feared. The
residents oil such regions should,
therefore, not omit the earliest
opportunity for supply. Plant
large quantities of strawberries
for early summer--they will bear
abundautly year from the time
they become established. Plant
many currlnt buShes--lor these
are a most healthy and excellent
frut--vcry hardy--and il in
Abundance, will last through all
the hottest parts # the summer.
The Dool ille and Orange rasp-
berries are pr0fuSe bearcrs--the
former very hardy. the latter gen
orally 81, but should be laid
down ami covered with an inch
or two Of earth for winter. The
Rochelle blackberry, il pinched
N when three or four feet high,
about midsunmer,) will teal
abundnutly, and prove harder
than IL the canes run up witnOu
control. The Delaware, Cir
ton and Concord grapes, are ear
" and hardy, and will bear II
two or three years from trans
planting. Dwarf apples, on the
Paradise and Doucin stock, vii
flourish in any locality, and be
gin to bear proiusely in three o.
four years. and on the Paradise
stock often in two years. Some
varieties hear early on common
stock: such, for example, as tn

very hardy, and in two or tire
years affords almost solid masse
OF berries on the branches. Sue

THE OFFICE OF LIEUTENANT GESER.

TnE OFFICE OF LIEUTENANT GESER.
Alt IS already proposed in Congress
that is, in the House of Rep,esena
tives-to revive the oflice and rank
lieutenant general of the u nited States
Army and in the same resolution it is
proposed to give a medal to Gen. Gran
for the victories be has won. Now, the
office Of Lieutenant general is actually in
existence, in the person of Gea. Scott.
and therefore there is no need o. its re-
viva. But it is stated that the rauk is
is be revived so that it may be con-
TERED upon Gen. Grant, in the, hope no
doubt that such high military pos itlon vii
switch him off the Presidential ira, k.
We admit that Gen. Grant deserves a
medal Tor his brilliant services. In lac,
no merits medal for every one of the
four hundred and seventy-two cannon
that hc had captured in this war, as wei
as Tor every one Of the ninety thousand
prisoners captured by the troops under
his command. He ais, deserves the
rank Of Lieutenant general. But if tb.
politicians think they are going to bea,
General Grant, General Mcclellan, or
