with rage at the prospect that Gen. Tuttle
will be selected to the position on the Demo-
cratic ticket, declined by Mr.. Fisher. tasks
"Shall the Democracy sacrifice itself and its
principles by adopting as its candidate for

Ohio, and nominate candidate whose acts

to be successful"
The prospect now is that Mahony, Bying-

man who, like Vallandigham, is acceptable to
traitors on both sides of Mason and Dixon S
line. We suggest that they offer the vacant
candidacy to Hon. Egg'd Thayer, Of this city.
If, on account Of his proverbial modesty, he
declines, then let them put up Pennell. We

Coon HEALTH OF OUR SoLDIERs.-One OF
our correspondents in the 35th Iowa, (whose
letter we omit because it merely repeats the
news contained in letter published in our
last, makes the following wel-timed observa-
ton on the good health of our troops under
the rays Of a hot Southern sun:
81 suppose the sore heads at home, who
must always have something to harp upon,
have got our soldiers in the South nearly all
sick, dead or dying from the effects of burn
ing Southern sun. We remember we'll that
they used to tell US, when at home, that a
white man could hardly live in the South in
the warm season, let alone labor. But they
are mistaken, for l, with delicate constitu-
ton, and frame weighing but lis pounds,
have made march of fifteen miles under the
rays of July sun in the State of Mississippi,
carrying soldiers load, which is about 80 lbs,
and that TOO in ranks where there were a
body of Il, 900 men in motion. If this does
not prove the falsity of the assertion so often
made, that a white man cannot labor in the
South, then am no judge Of what constitutes
labor" ~

RESISTING THE DRAFT AIDS THE REBEL
L1oN-In recent case, Judge Cadwallader,
of the United States District Court in the city
of Philadelphia, declared that any one who
resists the draft participates in the rebellion.
And this is positively true, whether he who
opposes the draft really sympathizes with the
rebellion or not By such seditious action
the Government is embarrassed in its efforts
to put down the Southern instruction ainst
its authority, and to that extent, and in that
way the enemies of the Government are aided
and abet ted.

we may pay our respects to the French EN-

There can be but little doubt that the "cir-
cumstances'' so darkly limited at by this rebel
organ are the invitations and promises Of
concealed traitors at the North, who proposed
to cooperate with Lee. Events have shown
that while Lee was to invade Pennsylvania,
and an army gathered from the southern
camps were to attack Washington, the agents
of the rebellion in New York were to get up
an armed riot, stop the progress of the drafts
on which we relied to keep our army full in
point of numbers, and, if practicable, revolu-
tionize the city. The three operations were
arranged to take place simultaneously. How
signally they failed our readers all know.

Wehave been permitted to peruse copy Of
the above named paper, published at jackson,
Miss, July 9Th, 1868. 1t is nine column, half
sheet, printed only on one side. The paper
is rather poor, and the type much worn. 1t
was sent to John Beard, Esq, of this city,
by his son, John W., of Co. B, 35th Iowa
regiment. Although the paper was printed
on the 9Th, not word is said about the sur
render Of Vicksburg. There are only three
sentences contained in the paper about vicks-
burg, one Boosting that "the people need
have no fear Of the safety of Vicksburg, long
before the present supplies run out, our army
outside will open a soay for the transmission
of stores" Another that, last evening, (the
18th, three days after the surrender at sun
set, the cannonading at Vicksburg was dis
tinctly heard at Jackson" and that "Kirby
Smith had crossed 800 head of beeves, into
Vicksburg, last Saturday"-likely
1t is very savage on RAIDERS" and raids.
This invention of the enemy, which was at
first, "brilliant exploits Of their army, hay
ing, like chickens and curses, come home to
roost, is plaguing the inventors terribly. The
editor is particularly severe upon our fellow
townsman, Col Hatch, whom it deems an
outright barbarian" Pretty good evidence
Of his efficiency and skill. 1t recommends
the retaining Of all soldiers captured whilst on
raids, as " bushwhackers, to be treated with
due severity and not as prisoners of war;
Oh, my Have you heard from Morgan?
A correspondent from near Port Hudson,
says that post will still live; ''they have pro-
visions for two months and daring soldiery,
whose spirit never wavers, and in whose vo-
cabulary, the word surrender is never found"
Banks has made new dictionary for them.
The "reliable gentleman" is still on his trav-
els, as this paper has it from "reliable authori-
ty, that Gen. Price occupied Helena last Mon
day, the 9Th"
A bloodthirsty correspondent has '.just
heard the glorious intelligence that the "gal-
liant Lee now advances Northward," and
hopes that me may carry desolatlon, ana
carnage, and death into their midst, shifting,
decorating and torturing the oppressor, until
in very meekness he sues for peace"
Another correspondent, who has lately re-
turned from trip into the interior of Texas,
gives an insight into the condition of affairs
there. He says the quantity of wheat sown
in the State is not sufficient for the citizens
already there" He met large numbers of
citizen going to Texas, and took occasion to
inform all contemplating such move, that
there is no bread for then, there, and they
should not 60, unless they are determined to
save their negroes from the Yankees at the
expense of the lives of the .uives and children
Of the soldiers in the army-"for I again re-
peat, there is no bread in Texas for them"

The Star says that on Thursday last, while
the Sd and 9TH army corps of Gen. Meade's

supposed that the rebels were only in small

one mile from the gap, between it and

this brigade was sufficient to dislodge the en-

have to perform, he ordered his gallant bri-
gade forward, and with fixed bayonets they
rushed forward, when the rebels quickly fed
from the hill and took refuge behind the
stone wall. Up to this the brigade rushed
also, when from behind it rose whole bri-
gade of Georgians and two regiments of
North Carolina sharpshooters, all under COM
mand of Gen. Anderson. But, our troops
needed them not, and aimed sho yer Of rife
bullets and artillery fire in the front and on
the flank. They pushed forward and with
the bayonet drove the rebels from their pro-
lection ana sent them scamparing over the
field. The rebel loss was not less than 500
