0MOW To DOIt.n

A writer in the Cincinnati Con1ther.
cial of the 3lst of October, over the sigH
nature of 20. V. Min an elaborate
article on that subject, urges that the
most prompt and effective way to fill
Ohio's qnOta of the new draft for 3OO,>
600 men, is to call into the field the or.
ganized volunteer Militia of the State.
According to the views of the writer re-.
ferred to, the scheme is constitutional,
and if that point be conceded there can
be no question as to the expediency of
the measure.
The fellow who conceived that idea
is a public beDefactor and we second his
motion. The Volunteer Militia of the
State is mostly composed of ambitious
young men, who are fond of the pomp
and circumstance of military display,
yet not over.anEions to 60 to war, little
inclined the other way, and If the sng.
gestion of the Commercials correspon.
dent is carried out, it will give the
young men fine opportunity to exhibit
their patriotism and bravery by brush
with rebels, and short tour in active
service, as we hope this war will be
"closed ont" before the lst of April next,
and it would be, if the President instead
Of calling out 100000 soldiers, would
call out every able. bodied man and dry
it up, instead of permitting it to drag
its slow length along, for he benefit Of

DastardIy Negro Outrage In
Brooke Co, VA.

We learned yesterday evening the
particulars of dastardly outrage cons
mitted in Brooke county, on Monday, by
number of negroes. 1t appears that,
on Sunday night, store at Holidays
Cave was robbed of number of valua-
BILE articles. On Monday morning the
proprietor of the store discovered that
he had been robbed, and Immediately
started out in search of the thieves. -
Suspicion fell upon G German family
who resided short distance below; the
Storekeeper repaired to the house and
made known his errand. The woman of
the house denied the charge and threw
open the house for search. Nothing
could be found that could lead the
searching party to believe the German
family guilty, and they were about leav.
ing, when the woman stated that she
had seen several members of negro
family carrying suspicious packages up
to their house a short distance above.
No time was lost by the searching party
in makingtheir way to the house in ques-
ton. The negroes denied any knowl~
edge of the affair, and protested against
The house being entered or searched. -
This only tended to satisfy the store
keeper of the guilt of the negroes
The party entered the house, aud soon
fonnd the stolen goods. The darkies
said they knew who had informed about
them, and they would make them
"sweat" for it. Immediately after the
departure of the party with the stolen
goods, the negro woman, in company
with her son, started down to the Ger.
man family. While going through the
yard; the woman of color seized an axe,
went to the house, and Immediately
made terrible attack upon the German
woman. A desperate struggle ensued,
but the negress managed to knock the
unfortunate woman senselesS to the floor,
and left the house.
Shortly afterwards some of the neigh.
bors called in to see the German woman,
and were Mortified at the scene which
met their gaze. The woman was lying
in the room almost lifeless, and the floor
flooded with blood. One of her hands
was found to be cut of, and was picked
up few yards from the body; one of her
arms wa nearly severed from the body;
there were two or three horrio gashes
in her side, and several of her ribs we're
broken.
The Sheriff Of Brooke county, being
informed of the affair, in company with
deputy, set out after the negroes. At
the house he found no person but the
colored woman's husband, who swore
the building should not be searched. -
Seeing the Sheriff was about to enter,
the negro seized club and aimed a
blow at the officials head. The blow
was knocked of, and, to save himself,
the Sheriff drew his revolver and shot
the black scoundrel dead. The house
was searched but nothing could be
found of the woman or boy. 0Gicers
were sent out in, search Of them, and a

The Rise In Prices.

The effects of the greenback legal
tenders upon prices are now beginning to
force themselves upon the people. This
currency has not been in circulation two
years. bnt i. has created a complete rev.
olution in the prices Of nearly all arti-
cles Of domestic consumption. Every
necessity of life, has, within that period
almost doubled, and in some instances
threbled in price, end upon those who
are dependent upon fixed wages for a
livelihood, the increased prices come
quite heavily. There is no possibility,
SO far as human foresight can 60, of there
being any change for the better. So
long as government keep their printing
presses printing greenbacks representing
almost fabulous amounts, just SO long
will there be a strong tendency upwards
of everything that can be bought and
sold. A greenback representing one
dollar is now worth not much more than
half that amount.-Dayton Empire.

ThanksgivIng IN New Jersey.

Thanksgiving In New Jersey.
The Thanksgiving proclamation Of
Governor Parker Of New Jersey has the
true ring. In calling the people to
to Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of
this month he says:
'Let US thank God for abundant har.
vests;
"Let us thank Him for preserving US
from pestilence;
LET US thank him that order has
been maintained, and the laws respect.
ed and obeyed within our borders;
|, Let US thank Him for victortes
GchieUed By the armies of the nation;
"Let us thank Him for the manifold
mercies and blessings He has freely be.
slowed on us; fer lie and health; for
christian institutions and privileges; for
his revealed Word; and especially for
the gift Of His Son, the Saviour of the
world, who continually maketh inter.
cession for us. ..
"While we offer thanks, let US also
pray that God will give US hearts to
pity aud relieve the poor; that He will
give consolation to the widow and or.
phan, who sorrow for the heroic dead;
that He will preServe in safety our
brave soldiers in the field; that He will
soon remove the rod of our chastisemeHt;
that He tOilt glue 'oiSdom to those in
authority; that He will change the
hearts of our enemies, and so order
events that peace may be speedily re.
stored, and the now discordant sections
of the nation be again united"

Nearly u Million Dollars.

1t cost about q million dollars of the
the peoples money (says the Dayton
Empire,) for the Administration to
transport its selected soldiers alone, in
its plan to carry the New York election.
This is entirely exclusive Of a gigantic
Bribery Fund which that party used for
the same purpose. We quote the fol-
lowing facts from the Albany Argus:
In addition to the immense corrup.
tioh fund that has been raised among
Government employees for the purpose
Of corrupting the election of New York,
the Administration, with an armed en-.
emy menacing the National Capital,
have sent into the State TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS, at an ex.
pence of at least FORTY DOLLARS

made to directly contribute nearly, if
not quite, ONE MILLION DOL.

the Eastern States, and especially Mas.

Poslllon of lhe Ohlo Democracy,
From an able article in the oossoctol

From an able article in the Cossocton
Democrat, weextract tho following:
The position Of the Democracy, we
take it,. is where Mr.. Yallandigham
stood at the start--that the, Rebellion is
wrong, that the Government must be
protected and defended, and the Union
preserved, Asthe Democracy are not
responsible for the causes which led to
discontentin the South, nor for the in.
sane and wicked rs1Rtion of all meas.
ures which would have Effected recon.
ciliation and prevented war-so they are
not responsible for its horrible misman-
agement, nor the reasonable usurpa.
tions which have overthrown the Con.
stitutioD, blotted out States, and DE-
stroyed civil liberty. So, while they Nad
70 power TO stop the war, or propose
terms Of peace, as temporary minority
they had noble and holy mission to
perform, The maintenance of the Con.
stituNon and the preservation of the
Union. This was asserted in every plat
form, coupled with az acquiescence in
the war for that object This was mains
tanned by every Democratic press and
every Democratic orator, and must be
adhered to.
But it is asked, if Democracy acqui.
esces 10 the war,Ihow do you differ from
Republicans? As much as Democracy
differs from Federalism. The Republi.
cans wage this war to liberate the black
race from servitude sanctioned by the
Constitution. The Democracy would
wage it to uphold the Constitution, and
to lberate white citizens from the des-
potism of the rebel leaders. The De-
mocracy are at war with both Secession
and Abolition, and will strike hands with
neither.
Were the Democracy to come into
power to-day, with Mr.. Vallandigham as
President, we do not suppose the armies
would be withdrawn from the territory
they now occupy-they would stand up.
on the defensive. The Proclamation to
the negroes would be Withdrawn, and
one directed to Southern white men, in
viting them back into the Union of their
fathers--pledging them protection alike
from Abolitionists aud SecesSioniSts-
both the enemies Of peace-and guaran-
teeing to them all the sacred rights and
privileges enjoyed by them during the
first forty years of our nations history.
No sane man can for q moment doubt
that such a reaction would take place,
as would overthrow the rebel leaders,
either by the ot.box or the bayonet,
by Southern men, loyal to the old Union.
Even should this Sanguine expectation
fail, the Southern aid our armies would
receive, would make very short work of
the rebellion.

TALU.aBLE
PROPERTY FOR SALE.

TIME subscriber wishes to sell his mill prop
erty and seventy acres of land attached
to tho same. The seat is on the main creek,
called Sugarcreek. There are better than ten
feet of fall and a never-failing stream; would
answer an enterprising man who would wish
to do large business, being in a very public
place. The reason for wishing to sell is that,
by reason of his age, he is unable to do
justice, and does not wish to act the dog in the
manger, and retain the property when not
near as valuable to him as it would be in the
hands of an enterprising ysung man.
Payments arranged to suit the purchaser.

BALLOTS AND NOT BAYoNETs. Great
significance may be attached to the fact,
that owing to the full ignoring of New
Jersey, SO far as stocking the State with
furloughed soldiers, drilled to vote as
well as fight, the Democrats have not
only carried the State, but increased
their strength. New Jersey, by means
ofimported soldiers from the front, could
have been as easily carried by the radi-
Gals as New York. 1t however only
develops what the people can do when
they are unawed and unshackled.
