(cries of 'hang him!1 "in the name of Wash

said that 1.-The people must buckle on their ar

of-V allandigham. Mr.. Mulaly advised re-
sistance to the COnScription act, if an attempt
should be made to enforce it. Isaiah Rynders
urged bis hearers "to brave the bayonets of the
Administration. Mr. Daniel D. Birdsall was
in favor of 'wiping out and repudiating the
debt contracted by the Government for carry
ing on the war" And yet these very men
who were thus denouncing the Administra-
ton, traducing and slandering President Lin
coin, and advising resistance and open war at
the North, were professedly lsmenting the loss
of the liberty of speech. If they were no
such villainous knaves, they would acknowl
edge themselves consummate fools.

The CoSTRAsT.-How wide was the con-
trast Of the vast crowd in attendance at Cleve-
land with that which convened at Indianapo-
lis the same day. In the one there was
adherence of treason-in the other none was
expressed. In one there was jealous patriot
ism-in the other nothing but hatred of the
Administration. In one the soldiers who have
fallen and are falling in the defence of their
country, were applauded-in the other they
were scoFned. In one there were no police or
military guard to preserve order-in the other
the bayOnet itself could not keep the peace.
In one the citizens carried no srms-in the
other deadly weapon was in the pocket Of
the Copperhead. The one gave three loud
cheers for the army on adjourning, while the
other, on dispensing to their places of abode
fred into soldiers houses, for which many
were arrested, and numerous arms taken from
the human serpents that hiss at everything
sacred in this momentous crisis! Verify. the
enemies of mankind are doomed to a speedy
retribution!-C Cincinnati Gazette.

THE CoMNa GRAIN CRoPs.-There never
was more favorable weather for the country
than has been experienced the present season.
The crops everywhere indicate vigorous growth
and a plentiful yield. Throughout Peansyl-
vania and Maryland wheat, oats and rye are
growing finely. An abundant harvest is
promised in Ohio. In New Jersey the wheat
and grain crops in the middle counties are
said to look very promising. 10 Illinois the
growing wheat never looked finer. In Indi-
ana wheat has suffered during the winter less
than usual. In Michigan it is injured iG some
places, but there is a promising yield. In To-
wa it never was better. In Wisconsin the ap-
pearanee, is a large crop of cereals; and il
Kentucky, notwithstanding the war, the wheat
crop is expected TO be abundant. All this is
very encouraging to the people. War, how.
ever disastrous in other respects, has not yet
affected our ability to raise food in abundance
and starvation, the usual concomitant of long
continued hostilities, is not one of the evili
with which we are to be aflicted.-Phl. Ledg-

The 10th Ohio, Col. Woods, lately returned
from expedition into the interior of Mis-
sissippi- They visited a corn growing region
on the banks of Deer Greek, in the rear of
Greenvile, destroyed $4,000 bushels of corn,
and burned thirty cotton gins and grist mills
which were employed in grinding corn for the
rebels at Vicksburg. This will be most Sc
rious loss to the enemy. The slaves on the
plantations fall into line by hundreds. The
treason of their owners removed their mana
cles. They were not anxious to work on the
plantations, aiding the rebellion, while their
masters were in the rebel army.

On A BENDER.-Mr. Cathcart, a copper
head, from Dayton, who by the carelessness oi
the Union men, and the absence of 100000
soldier, was elected Superintendent of ouI
Common Schools last fall, lately got into q
fight with soldier in drinking saloon in
Columbus. He uttered secession sentiments
whereupon the soldier knocked him down.
But, what business has this officer of State in
the drinking saloon? Has he disgraced him
self more than the party that elected him?
Since the above was written. we see by the
Newark Forth American, that Cathcart went
over there from Columbus, a short time after
this fight, to have out the rest of his drunken
spree. He soon began to rave and pitch about
more like an escaped inmate of the lunatic
asylum, than an sane man. He was taken
charge of, when he expressed wish to have
his frind, the new Attorney General Critch-
field, sent for. He came and took the School
Commissioner back to Columbus.
Is it not sad, lamentable, that the cause oi
common schools in Ohio shall for years to
come, be intrusted to such hands?-[ Xenia

NEGROES IN THE REBEL SERvICE-The
rebels press their slaves into active service so
for as they dare do it. In the recent battles
of Gen Banks on the Teehe, Louisiana, he seiz-
ed upon papers, among which was found a
proclamation Of Gov. Moore, ordering the en-
rolment of the able bodied negroes in the
country round about for the purpose of or
ganizing them into regiments. In the ex-
treme South it is only from such material that
the rebels can recruit their ranks with able
bodied men.
1t is stated that in the recent attempts o.
Admiral Farragut to pass the forts at Port
Hudson, one battery was particularly noti-
ced for its efficient and precise firing, the bat
terry doing more damage than any other. Il
has been ascertained that the guns of this bat
terry were manned entirely by negroes.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH -Medary's Crisis and
all other papers of that ilk in Ohio and other
States, wall incessantly and most piteously
over the alleged abridgement of "free speech, .
and to listen to their lamentations, one might
suppose the country was ruled by an iron des-
potism, and the press more thoroughly muz-
zed in the United States than it is in France
or Russia. But in view of the license used by
these same sheets in abusing and slandering
those in authority, and assailing all who are
noted for their patriotic devotion to the
cause of the country, such pretenses on their
part are simply ridiculous. The mild inno-
cent MEDARY, who is chief among the suffer
ers from the curtaiment of ''free speech does
not hesitate TO denounce in severe terms every
act of both the State and National Govern
terms as "Dictator," "the half witted usurper, y
"the poor equivocating simpleton who acts as
President" with other like epithets, and copies
articles directly advising and urging resistance
to the conscription act-and his course is but
a sample of that of the numerous lesser lights
that follow in his wake. Yet the dear perse.
cuted souls are denied the "freedom of speech.
If they so talk under despotic "muzzling Of
the press" what might be expected of them il
left to their own unrestricted choice of Ian,
guage? So too, in regard to those in New
York and elsewhere who, while de claiming
from the rostrum against the curtaiment Of
'free speech" utter treason with a rapidity al
most defying the power of reporters to trans
cribe. These worthless are thus appro.
priately noticed by the Cleveland Leader:
The LINCOLN DEsPoT1sM.-"Stark, staring

English, would pass upon the men who partic

The burden of their song and speeches was
the tyranny of the despot Lincoln" and YET
every sentiment they uttered went to prove
that the Lincoln Administration is the most
lenient government on earth. They declared
that Lincoln "sits upon kingly throne" and
yet they denounced him in such slanderous in
vective as no subject of king dare use, if he
values his head. They proclaimed aloud that
"the liberty of speech and of the press" was
denied to Americans under the Lincoln Ad-
ministrRtion, and yet the whole meeting was
but repetition of the most outrageous and
seditious utterances. The proof of this is
abundant. Mr.. McMasters said that the lib.
critics OF the North were endangered, that
they must be preserved by organizations, and
that "those organizations should be military,
with commissions from Governor Seymour"

Rev. J. Rogers, Chaplain of the l4th Wis

the freed blacks at Cairo for some months,
confirms statement which appeared in the
papers last fall, of the fendish barbarity of
the rebels in Northern Alabama, which was
so monstrous as to be received with increduli-
ty. He says the rebels actually butchered
about thousand blacks to prevent them from
falling into the hands of the Union army. Two
hundred were confined in large building, the

TERRIBLE DROUGHT IN AUsTRALIA.-Ac-
counts from Sydney, Australia, represent that
fearful drought has prevailed in Australia.
In some localities there had been no rain for
fourteen months, and the cattle had died by
thousands. One farmer lost five thousand to
six thousand sheep and lambs; another fifteen
thousand, and all who owned stock of any
kind suffering in like manner. No one in the
country remembers such season before.
Wool could not be brought into Sydney, IS
all the bullock teams died on the road for want
of water and pasturage. In some parts of the
country nothing is met for miles and miles but
the bodies and bleached bones of bullocks.

whatever Of trial, suffering or privation
may he in store for us, or however long may
be the controversy, firm in the faith that our
Nation will be preserved in its integrity, let
us in adversely as well as in prosperity, in
darkness as in light, give the administration

its power may drive those whe have criminal

as vagabonds ana fugitives through the earth
or infict upon them the penalties justly due
for their treason. Let the retribution be SC
