The attempt to get up a contribution for Gen.
Mcclellan in the army, has been abandoned and
the money paid has been refunded. Somebody
had the wit to see that this forced loan for an in

from the United States Treasury was not calcu-
lated to render favorably fragrant the reputation
of the friend Of Fitz John Porter.

to keep their oaths. '
It's just form, but they don't understand it,
and they think they must stand up for the coun-
try all the time. They won't even let man
talk or write against the Government if they can
help it. You see great, many of them, more

they are just as bad as the Abolitionists The
fact is they're all Abolitonsts They don't
care anything about party They don't under

shell, about noon of the Sth November.
He was in the camp, in the act Of eating q

when a shell from the encmy's guns on Lookout
Mountain exploded close by our camp, frag-
mcnt of which struck him on the left arm, close
by the shoulder, almost tearing it off, also
striking him on the breast, breaking in his breast
bone, then striking him on the wrist, inficting
a slight wound.
He was Immediately taken to the Corps Hos

but he expired on the 9th of November, about

Assistant Sergeant at Arms.

We are glad to notice that Jacob A.
Keefer, Esq. Of Dayton Ohio, will be a
candidate for Asst. Sergeant at Arms Of
the next House Of Representatives Of
Ohio. As we are personally. and intimate
ly acquainted with Mr.. Keefer, we can
speak from the book, when we say, that
we think he is the man in every way fitted
for that post Of honor. Mr.. Keefer has
been from the commencement Of the re-
belion a staunch Union man, never once
falteling in his stern, unwavering at
tachment to the cause Of the Government
and aiding with all his power to advance
the cause Of volunteering. During the
recent campaign, he added greatly to the
entertainment Of the Mass Meetings by
putting in poetry, patriotic sentiments
bearing upon the issues of the great strug-
gle and singing them for the gratiGca-
ton and amusement Of the people. Know
ing Mr.. Keefer as we do, we can recon-
mend him to the Union Members OF the
next House.ss a gentleman every way com
patent to fill the Office OF Assistant ser.
gsant at Arms,and hop, that he may re-
ceive the unanimous vote Of the Union
Caucus for the position.

pointment and rage OF the Carthageneans
that he was barbarously tortured and put
to death. Up to this period Rome had
been poor and self-reliant, and being Of a
warlike temper, she had subjugatsd all,
or nearly all the states, OF nationalities of
Italy, and made them tributary. This
gave her power, influence and confidence,
and henceforward, for time her strides
toward the conquest Of the world was
rapid and her power irresistible. But
with her mighty oonquests. came mighty
spoils, and spoils begat luxury, pride,
haughtiness, arrogance, effemnacy and
weakness, and anarchy and confusion was
the natural consequence and then, we
hear no more about her plain simplicity
Of manners and taste, her stern integrity
and justice. her glowing patriotism and
ferveut love Of country. These glorious
attributes were blotted out by wealth, and
her many attendant evils. Herprincipal
conquests had been won by Roman SOL
diers, she now depended for their preser
vation on hired merceusres. Her genial
cline. vast wealth and fair fields, excited
the cupidity Of the Northern barbarians.
They pounoed upon her in almost count
less hordes, and with long, bloody and de-
sola!ing wars, she finally crumbled. d.waver-
ed, reelsd, tottered and fell. .s ,
And thus ended mighty Rome, the
mistress Of the world. And thus all the
great nations Of antiquity, after swallow.
ing up their little or weaker neighbors,
,ave ended. And thus, it is likely will
md all the great nations of tho present
ime. And from anmistakable signs Of The
INES, these glorious United States wiN
,ro5aHy lead the van. And what good
eason can be assigned for this certain
loom Of nations, but wealth and pros,
'erty and their long and dark catalogue
