A brilliant Campaign.

"A Brilliant Camp"iSH'
The abolition candidate for Senator has just
made splendid stumping tour through this
county. His first meeting was at Weinsberg,
where seven persons listened to speech of
some three hours. His next effort was at
Millersburg, where he commenced with about
thirty persons and spoke till they all left.
We did not hear his speech at this place,
but we are informed that it was tissue of
falsehood and slang from beginning to end.
He was so reck less in his assertions, and so
profoundly ignorant that Gen. ASKENY, who
was chairman of the meeting, reaeatedly cor.
rected him. His next meeting was at Nash
Vile, and there no person came to hear him.
He is splendid man, about six feet high,
straight as an arrow, has fierce countenance
and hairy face, looking as though he had
swallowed colt and left the tail sticking
out of his mouth. He wears "store clothes"
and "chaws botten tobacker," and eutertains
profound contempt for laboring men. At
the sight OF red wamus his little turn up
nose has that twitching SO peculiar to the
nose of bull when enraged at red rag.
His speeches are convinciDg-they convince
every one who hears them that he is donkey
dressed in the habiliments Of city dandy
Gall again, sweet abolition squirt.

Poor Men, Attention.!

1t is well known that the Democracy Of
this and other townships raised fund to as
sst poor men who desired to buy exemption
from the draft The proposition is strictly in
accordance with the law, which requires a
man, or the price thereof. which is three
hundred dollars. This humanity on the part
of the Democrats is denounced by the SDaI
Tub editor, and it caused the abolition can
didate for Senator to go cff in long rigma'
role of billingsgate in his recent spe ech in
the Court House.
Comm ent is unnecessary; but poor men
will consider this matter. SO long as we can
lawfully assist a poor man from being un
willingly taken from his family and his home
we will do so 80 the extent of our means, and
If the abolition editor, or his mullet- head
can didate for Senator, can make any political
capital out of the fact, thus plainly stated
they are welcome to do so.

EDIToRs LzADER There has been a bill
reporssd in the Senate at Washington City
in fsvOr offending the credit Of the Govern
msnt, to complete the connelIsviIls Railway
70 Cumberland, and extend tbs Iins from the
Point Of Rocks to Washington City, which
line is less than 800 miles from Pittsburgh to
the Federal Capital.
Tho Importance Of this connection to the
cities Of Cleveland and Pittsburgh-the two
great centers Of trade and travsl-ean hardly
be estimated. Those two eitieshave eommuni-
cation direct by steamboat for thousands Of
miles. There are also now in successful ope-
ration, more than II 900 miles Of railroad that
center into Cleveland and Pittsburgh, extend
ing westerly from those cities over terrific
~ Of more than 800, 600 square miles, en-
bracing country or unsurpassed fertility
nothing on the globe to equal it. tits annu-
ally becoming more and more important in
its commercial operations with every nation
and cline. This vast empire, csntering as it
does, at the two points above mentioned,
owing to the topography Ofthe country, seeks
an outlet to the tide waters Of the Atlantic
ocean. The actual surveys now show that
the geography and topography of the country
will not admit Of any other line equal to the
line now proposed distance less than 300
miles, with less grades and curvatures than
any other route, and being the identical line
that the illustrious George Washington,
more than one hundred years ago, planned,
which constitutes the union of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers, seventy-ive miles shorter
in distance than the present travelled line.
With these facts, it becomes the duty of
every man to use his influence for the aid
asked Of Congress, which is merely the credit
Of tho Government for an amount which is
very small compared with the advantage
gained. If the aid should be granted, in less
than eighteen months cars will be run from
Pittsburgh to the Federal Capital, in less than
eight hours, without change, and the mails
carried from Cleveland to Washington City
in twelve hours. Passengers will take break
fast in Cleveland and tea In Washington, or
tea in Cleveland and breakfast in Washing
ton. The great saving of time and expense
In transporting the mails and the Government
supplies, from those two points, would fully
compensate the Government, was it to fur
hish the means to complete the line. Butan
outlay of money is not asked, only the credit
Of the Government and hope every editor
and friend to his country will join in the pro-
posed enterprise, having full confidence none
would oppose it, ifthey we're to fully examine
ints the subject in all its bearings.
Respectfully, your friend,

Thurlow Weeds Conservatism
Seward and the French Min
ister--Rebel Hopes Of
France.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
Gov. Curtin's recent message, together
with his other movements in the same
direction, are interpreted as a bid for the
Democratic vote at the ensuing election,
and as the first developments of Thurlow
Weeds plan for the reorganization of the
Republican party on conservative basis.
1t was foreshadowed by Curtin's recent
confabulation with Seward. Earnest Re
publicaus here are very indignant at what
they call his betrayal of their principles.
Cornell Jewett says that he advised the
French Minister to-day, that his own
honor and that of his nation required him
to challenge Seward. Jewett offered to
carry the challenge.
The French Minister was on the floor Of
the Senate to-day, in the most cordial in
tercourse with Sumner and the leading
Republican Senators.
Among the recently intercepted letters
is one from a prominent rebel in London
to a prominent rebel in Richmond. The
writer says that from Great Britain the
rebels can hope for nothing; that she is a
slow, mean, trescherous nation, and hates
the South as much as the North, hoping
for nothing but the destruction Of both /;

FRnsI WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, February Is.
United States Consul General Thayer,
at Alexandria, in writing to our Govern
ment, says an event Of apparent grave
Importance had just come to light and
produced much excitement in that commu-
nifty. On the morning Of the 9TH Of Janua-
ry, four hundred and fifty soldiers were,
by order of the Viceroy of Egypt, taken by
railroad from about 12O miles south Of
Alexandria, and at night embarked on
board French transport steamer, whose
destination is supposed to be Mexico.
Our Consul says he was awaiting expls-
nations from the Vice Royal The Euro
pean Consuls generally have telegraphed
TO their Governments for Instructions.
Minister Dayton also briefly eommuni-
Gates similar information to our Govern
ment upon the subject, including the arti-
Gle from the Moniteur that the negroes to
be furnished by the Viceroy, 10000 in
in all, are to garrison Vera Cruz as q mat
ter Of humanity to the white soldiers, the
black race not being subject TO yellow fe-

Another order has been issued 10 POST
masters Of the principal Northern cities,
directing them to send their mails by the
way Of Parkersburg, over the Marietta and
Cincinnati railroad, which will expedite
them some forty-eight hours over the
former time Much speculation is based
on the supposed views Of the Secretary Of
the Treasury; but the following statement,
the result Of inquiry, is designed to re-
move all doubts whatever on the subject.
The Secretary regards the passage Of the
uniform currency and bank bill as sbso-
lutely essential to the working Of the
finances. lis not true that he does not
expect immediate aid from the banking
bill, though it is true, as stated in his re-
port that he does not expect immediate
