TAKING THE Wheeling papers fre-
quently mention instances Of the taking the
oath of allegiance by the rebel prisoners, and
it seems that about one third of those sent
there prefer to do that than to sign a parole
with view of being exchanged at some time
in the future, On Wednesday last nineteen Of
them were released on parole from the Athe-
neum prison; and they were all exceedingly
anxious to take the oath of allegiance, which
they did, and are determined to remain hence
forth loyal citizens. They wished to 60 to
work in the free States. Some of them found
employment iu Wheeling, while others came to
Ohio, to procure If possible, farm work. 1t ia
a remarkable fact that not one half of the pris'
Oners can write their names.

THE NEWS.

Little seems to have been done in
military affairs for few days past,
though the different commanders
are pushing matters with all posi-
BILE dispatch.
Gen. Gilmore is still battering
away at the Charleston defenses.
and with fair prospect ofspeedy sue
cess; having the whole of Morris
and part Of james Island in his
possession, he is enabled to operate
much more successfully than at first.
Fort Sumter is still in rebel hands,
though most of her guns are silenc-
ed. No attempt has been made to
take it since the failure of the boat
assault.
There is a rumor that white flag
was flying over Moultrie, but it lacks
confirmation.
Gen. Gilmore has had orders from
the war department to burn Charles
ton in case of refusal to surrender,
and a large quantity of incendiary
shells forwarded to him for that pur-
pose.
Burnside and Rosencrans are rap
idly pushing forward in their res
pective departments. The where
abouts of Bragg. Buckner and John
ston are not definitely known, but
they are supposed to be in north
western Georgia-still running. It
is rumored that they are being reen-
forced from Lees army; also that
Lee is sending re-enforcements to
Beauregard. 1t is evident that they
are doing something desperate.
Gen. Blunt has been successfully
carrying out his plans in the south
west. The rebelsare said to be strong
ly fortified near Little Rock, and it
is probable that there will be an en-
gagement there soon.
There have been some cavalry en-
gagements on the line of the Rapi-
dan, our forces being successful.
The draft in Ohio has again been
indefinitely postponed, in order to
get full credit for the troops already
furnished. It is thought that the
quota can be reduced to five thou
sand.
The President has issued a proc
lamation suspending the writ of ha-
heas corpus in all cases pertaining
to military affairs.
1t is said that Geo. E. Pugh has
just returned from visit to the
Exile" at Windsor, Canada; also,
that he has accepted the colonelcy
Of one of the Hamilton county mill
tia regiments.
The State Fair is reported as be-
ing a perfect success, the entries be-
ing very large and the attendance
about as great as at any preceding
year.
The Union meeting held at St.
Clairsville, Belmont county, on the
10th, was very large, about $4,000
people being present.
Gen. Meagher, the Irish patriot,
will address the Union people at sew
eral prominent points in Ohio, in be-
half of the Union State Ticket.
Maine has gone overwhelmingly
Union at her recent State election,
the majority being from forty to sew.
enty thousand.
The latest advices from Mr.. Day
ton convey unmistakable assurances
from the Emperor and his Minister
that there Is no intention on the
part of the French Government to
either recognize the Southern Con
federacy or to plant colonies in any
portion of the western continent.

STEVENSON, Ala, Aug. 81.

We have been looking over our Democratic
exchanges, and we notice the singular fact
that not one of them contains a line about the
election in Vermont, Delaware and California.
They seem to be with the election as they are
with the war. They don't know that the
South has rebelled against the Government,
and that the latter is struggling for it's exist
ence. We opine when they hear of the eec-
lions, they will excuse their defeat by claiming
that Democrats were driven from the polls at
the point of the bayonet, as George E. Pugh
charged they had been in Kentucky, even be-
fore the election took place!

The Proclamation.

The President has issued proclamation sus-
pending the writ of habeas corpus in all cases
pertaining to military affairs, including, we be-
Iieve, military arrests. This is a measure that
ought to have been in force from the COM
mencement of the war No doubt it will cause
the Copperheads to shake in their shoes from
wholesome fear that they will be oyertaken in
their disloyal career and consigned to some
place of safe keeping. We expect to
hear perfect howl of rage from the Butter
nuts throughout the State,

Bloody Work in Crawford Township-Two De-
serters Murder Union Man, Severely w uad
Another, and areShot Dead in their Tracks!
Last week, Tuesday, Deputy Provost Mar
shal, w m. A Johnston, with a force of 20
men, all good citizens, started for Crawford tp.
to arrest drafted men, who would not report
for duty, i. E. men drafted last fall. They d.
vided into squads, aud proceeded TO search the
township. One squad of FIVE men, under Capt.
r. n. T'idbaIl, in their search, arrived at a
barn, and when they got to the door, out
sprang two drafted men, named John Lower
and Lewis Wens, ermed to the teeth. Capt
Tidball siezed one of the men. when after a
hard seuffle, he got loose and pointed his rifle
directly at Tadball's head, snapped it twice,
but it did not go of. Meanwhile, the other
man fred musket, loaded with bullets, at
Reuben Stanford, wounding him most horri-
bly,, of which he died in few moments. SamT
Taylor, also, one of the squad, was severely
wounded in the side-the ball striking a rib,
aud following it around The squad then
fred their revolvers and killed the two men
The body of Stafford was taken to his home
in Bethlehem tp. where he left wife and two
children. Taylor was removed TO Henry Bris
ter's in Chill, and was brought home to Co
shOctoE, last Sunday. He is able to be about
Marshal Johnston has made up his mind tc
shoot deserter on the first showing of resis
tance, and not run the risk of having good
Union men killed by the skulking dogs. This
affair will have the effect of showing deserters
that they will have to come dead or alive, OF
leave the country. Coshocton Age

pnlitina IN North Carolina.

While all the best men of North Carolina
are in the field, defending their country from
universal plunder, there are some Of the peo-
pie they have left behind them at home who
express the opinion that those soldiers have
defended their country long enough, and now
ought to stop. In this opinion those people
concur precisely with Abraham Lincoln He
also thinks that our soldiers have fought long
enough.
At some sort of meeting, held in Granville
county, the other day, amongst other resolu-
tions adopted was this one:
Resolved, That the present bloody, wicked
and inhHman war has ragged long enough, with
out any profit or advantage to either North
or South; we, therefore, call upon our Repre-
sentatives 10 tie next Congress to use their
utmost endeavors to obtain cessation of hos
iiities and a termination Of our present strug
giles in a Just, honorable and lasting peace
Those folks in Granville hold it to be a
wicked and inhuman action in the soldiers to
resist the invaders of their country; so they
desire an honorable peace
The deserters (alluding to the execution OF
ten North Carolina soldiers who were shot On
the 9Th inst, for desertion.) also appear to
have formed the same opinion. Their con-
science reproaches them for having borne arms
in such bloody, wicked and iinhuman war,
and they hasten home to enjoy an honorable
peace 10 the bosom of their families.
Neither is this kind of language confined
to little meetings surreptitiously go: together
| in some county court house. A man has act
ualy proposed himself as candidate for Con-
gress on this very ground. J. 7. Leach is his
| name. His address to the people of the Third
| Congressional District of North Carolina de-
fines his position thus:
1--WE have tried peaceful Secession, Yankee
| cowardice, King Cotton and foreign interven
tion, and they have all sigRaly failed, as was
predicted by those who calmly viewed the then
| impending troubles from proper standpoint
and surely there is now no one so devoid o.
reason as to desire to travel over the same
road again, with its frightful consequences SC
| fresh in their memories.
"We may most naturally suppose that dur
ing its next session, Congress will be almost
wholly occupied 10 legislating upon the pres
ent unhappy condition Of our country, and the
bloody civil war now raging between the
North and the South. In these matters
shall deem it my duty to shape my course il
reference to the most successful and satisfactO
ry mode of securing an honorable and speedy
peace"
What then is to be done? Why, we lay
down our arms, of course, and beg for mercy
There is no other way according TO MIR. Leach
