A DESCRIPTION
PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST

There lives at this time in Judca, u
man ofsingular character, whose name
is Jesus Christ The barbarians esr
teen him prophet, but his followers
adore him as the Immediate offspring
Of the immorta! God. He is endowed
with such unparalleled virtue, as to
call back the dead from their graves,
and to heal every kind of disease with
word or touch. His person is tall and
elegantly shaped; his aspect amiable
and reverend; his hair flows in those
bcautious shapes which no united col
ors can match, falling into graceful
curls below his ears, agrceably couch
ing on bis shoulders, and parting on
the crown of his head, like the head
dress of the Nazarites. His forehead
is smooth and large; his cheeks with
ont spot, save that of "a lovely red;
his nose and mouth are formed with
exquisite symmetry his beard is thick
and suitable to the hair of his head,
Preaching little below the chin, and
parting in the middle like fork his
eyes are bright, clear and serene. He
rcbukes with majesty, counsels with
mildness, and invites with the most
tender, persuasive language; his whole
address, whether in word or decd, be.
ing elegant, grave, and strictly char
acteristic of so exalted being. No
man has seen him laugh, but tho
whole world beholds him weep fire.
quently, and SO persuasive are his
tears that the whole multitude cannot
withhold their tears from joining in
sympathy with him. He is very mod
est, temperate and wise. In Short
whatever this phenomenon may turn
out in the end, he seems at present q
man of excellent beauty and divine
pcrtections, every way surprising tho
children of men.

The number of hogs in the great
feeding States of Ohio, Michigan, In

than last year, causing reduction in
the number fattened in these States OF

cd that but few hogs will be sufficient.

States are shown in tho report to be MS
follows
In lSGO-23, ,G66,79S; in 1872
1892; in 62-i2, ,2SS, 906, The
amount of pork which entered into
the commerce of the country in 1860
was about 323,36S,SO0 pounds, Of
which there was exported in the form
of bacon, lard, and barrel pork, Sc,
909, ,795; of which the Southern States
took lS4, ,3S6, 400; leaving for the con-
sumption ofthe Eastern and Middle
States 52,063,3S6. The cessation Of
commercial intercourse between tho
loyal and disloyal States cut off this
Southern consumption of pork, and sc
reduced prices in 1862 that the ioroigu
demand increased in that year to 29l,

Tho value Of frosted corn for fAtten.
ing purposes is regarded as very
small. Hogs and cattle will grow or

LFrom the Ohio State Journal
CopperheRds Opposing the Soldiers
Vote.

Under the political advice of the
CRISIS and tho-legal advice of Judge
BARLEY, the Coppcrheads Of the State
are making dead set in opposition to
the soldiers s'vote,in every county where
the hOmevote would elect Copporhcads
to office. They meet in secret con-
claycs and count up just how many
soldiers votes must be thrown out in
order to give their Copperhead candi-
dares their offices. Then they throw
out just enough to make their Copper
head calling and election sure, and let
the remainder go. In this way they
hope to escape the imputation of oppo-
sing the soldiers vote. Accordingly,
in some counties where the homo vote
isclose, they throw the rhole returns
of the soldiers vote overheard. In
others where the crigency(D is not so
great they permit some to be counted
but being always careful not to let
enough in to defeat their Coppcrhcad
election. This is very pretty game
and one in which the old quasi ours
g wheel horse and his Lieutenant
Bartley are well fitted to engage, But
the day will come when the I" BOYS in
Blue" will make all who engage in
this 'gougc game see stars, and per-
haps stripes, they ought to be made
to see STARS and bars" for such vio.
latiop Of the elective franchise as
against those who peril life in defense
ofthe country and its cause. .
This game was attempted in Ashland
county by that particular pet OF the
CRISIS, ]. J Kenny; who hasa hunger
ing and thirsting after the Office OF
State Senator. The home vote elected
him by very small majority. But
the soldiers vote defeated him by a
considerable majority. 1t therefore
became necessary to throw ont enough
soldiers votes for some pretendcd inlor-
maIity, TO let Kenny and his Copper
head friends into Office. \ secret con
clave was held by the officials. and be-
hold the thing was done :. Just as easy
as falling off u log" Kenny gets the
certificate, and Col. Gass is compelled
to contest the Senatorial election or be
cheated out Of it, lie accordingly pro.
cceds to contest, and takes testimony
on the subject. The result of this cvi-
dcncc is shown by thcfolIowing, which
we take from the Ashland Times,
which says;
"Wc are enabled to lay before our

How Nature covers up Battlc-Fieids.

focting little things one is alwayssceing
these stirring war times, how saw, ON
the Bull Run battlefield, pretty, pure,
delicate flowers growing out ofempticd
ammunition boxes, n rose thrusting up
its graceful head through the head ofa
Union drum, which doubtless sound
cd its last charge, or retreat, as the
case may have been, in that battle
and a cunning scarlet verbena pceping

which strange cup ithad been planted2
Wasn't that peace growing ont ofwar.
Even. so shall the graceful and beauti-
ful ever grow out of the horrid and
terrible things that transpirc in tho

Nature covers even battle grounds

The plan, we are inform cd, goes d-

THE EAGLE BACKING DOWN.

DOWNs
In our issue of week before last We
charged that the policy of the so-caIled
Democratic leaders of this county, was
resistance 70 tho Government. In
support Of this we quoted the following
passages from the article which ap-
pcared in the Eagle Of the week before
I" If then these acts on the part o'
King George Ill were tyrannical, and
justified resistance are they not also
tyrannical and wrong in Abraham
Lincoln? AMI i our fathers wcre jus

A writer in tho last Eagle ,lcvotcs a
column and half to Safeguarding us
and to explaining what he meant by
resistance. 1t is not the purpose, he
says, of his party to resort to arms, but
torcsist pcaccably. While resistance
was advised nothing was said about
the mode of resistance. This is an at
tcmptto explain away tho meaning Of
cithcr a very indiscrcct or very trca-
sonablc article. If pcaceable rcsis-
lance ca thing which sounds very par
adoNieal) was meant, why not state itY
The plain Inference to bc drawn from
the article, was that the people were
justified in forciblc resistance, and that
this was their right and duty. The
tyrannics of Mr.. Lincoln were com
pared to tho tyrannics Of George III.
The people Of the colonies were justi-
fed in resisting thcirtyrant therefore
tho people to-day arc justified in ro-
sisting the present tyrant. This was
the argument, which the simplest
mind cannot hclp carrying out. How
did the people Of the colonies resist the
tyranny of George III? BY force Of
armsr-by revolution. Therefore, the
tyrannics being tho same, md forciblc
resistance being the right and duty o.
the people in the one case, it is tn,
r;-yht and duty Of the people in the

Columbus and Kicking Valley Railroad.
Elsewhere will be found commu-
nication copied from the State Journal,
on the subject of the Hooking Valley
Railroad The writer suggests that
prominent men should take hold of
the matter and open subscription books
at once, The enterprise is certainly n
very important one, and should CON-
mand the favor and support of all bu-
siness men along the route. The pres.
ent scarcity and high price of coal, and
the disappointment and Inconvenience
which result from depending upon the
canals, have directed attention to the
enterprise. The great advantages
which would result from railroad com
munication with the centre of the State,
and the coal mines below, must be ap-
parent to all, and We hope tho efforts
made at the capital will be seconded
by the business men of the Valley.
