Record of George E. Pugh.

Since Geo. E. Pugfrhas been nominated
for Lieut.. Governor of Ohio, and is will
ing to accept position of profit, honor
and trust, l wish to call the attention of
the voters of Ohio to certain declaration
made by Mr.. Pugh, in public, in times OF
peace.
The day before the last Presidential
election there was a great strife in politi-
cal circles in Dayton, Ohio, the Republi-
cans had a small demonstration on that
dav, and in the evening (previous to the
eIection) the Democracy had Pugh
brought up from Cincinnati to make a
speech in the Democratic rancho, tenn
porary building on the corner of Third
and Jefferson streets.
At the usual hour, Mr.. Pugh took the
stand, and after his usual manner of open
ing, and after berating Mr.. Lincoln and
all his class, he finished the sentence by
tauntingly and boastingly saying that ''If
the people elect Abraham Lincoln to-mor-
ow, as expect they will, he will be the
last President they will ever elect in the
United States" 70 this some cheered,
and some hissed; but certainly no mar
could (when they saw the vindictive style
in which the declaration was made,} fail
to be surprised, when the time, place ana
circumstances are taken into considera-
ton. Mr.. Pugh then certainly contem-
plated the destruction of this Govern
ment. In relating this circumstances to
James II. Baggot, ex-Probate Judge OF
Montgomery county, the following JAN
uary, 1861, after secession had commen-
ced, Mr.. Baggot replied, ''Yes, and by
God, that night after the speech was over,
a lot more Of us had a meeting, and we
passed resolution, that if Lincoln was
elected, we were going to use our best
efforts to tear down the Government"
have no doubt the resolution was
passed. If it was not, Mr.. Baggot simply
told what was not true about Pugh, him
self and the balance of them, which is
not very likely. But if Mr.. Pugh denies
this, he can have the benefit of an invest
igation.-CIa. Times. -

A Specimen Copperhead.

The Cleveland Leader has received a
copy of Volume 4, Numer 3" of The Di-
riHity Physician" published at Benton,
Crawford county, Ohio, by David Tuttle,
D. d. He announces his paper "Inde-
pendent of all Gods creation or mans
invention, character which the sheet
seems to warrant. From this exponent of
the Copperhead principles of Copper
head leader-for the man Tuttle is well
known as an orator at Vallandigham
meeting-the Leader selects acOlumn and
half of extracts. One or two will suffice
to show the demoniae character which
Copperheadism tends to develop:
owe no allegiance to Abe Lincoln or
he's Scac1lgeT Governor David Tod, or Jesus
CHriSt. And l will add further; l owe no
allegiance to any King or theological God,
or TO any other God in the universe Now
ye political, religious or hypocritical saints
whoever you are, you may ehaw over it,
you may smoke it, you may snuff it, or
you may growl and grunt or wag your
heads over what have said.
Here is a specimen of the ''frees speech"
which the Copperheads claim as among
their rights. .......t ..I
Il said publicly, eight months ago that
.
My Godi would as soon pay homage, re-
spect or allegiance to old Lueifer, or to all
the devils while holding mass meeting
in hell, as to Abe Lincoln, President of
the United States.
Does the old fool, though he is law
/ giyer and laB-makeP for the f-eemen of
Ohio, does he think because he is a knaye
that all other men are fools?
now charge Old Abe with being guilty of
all the crimes known in the catalogue as
perjury, stealing, murder, kidnapping,
housebreaking, burglary, fraud, falsehood
and other acts, which could fill the meas
ure heaping full, and running over, of
one mans villainies. 20 '-.-
l, therefore, sentence Old Abe Lincoln
to be hung by the neck until he is dead,
dead DEAD DEAD, and if there is any God
who has disposition to have mercy on
his internal black soul, then there is no
need of a devil or theological hell"
The wretch who writes this blasphe-
nous stuff asserts for himself the honor
of having been the first to nominate the
Vallandigham candidate for Governor of
Ohio. He says: .., .aa -5.a.ss.r..
! Almost year ago published the name
of this patriot and moral hero as candi-
date for the next Governor of Ohio One
hundred thousand of the freemen of the
State, on the llth day of June last rati-
! ted nsy nomination. This coming
man is destined to be not only Governor
of Ohio, but also President of the United
States! Put that in your pipe and smoke
/ it, you damned minions of hell.

ObeYing Orders.

The following programme was laid
down for Vallandigham by the Mobile
Ns,0s, soon after his nomination for Gov
ernor of Ohio:
The majority of the press agree with
us that V.'s best course is to get out of
the country as soon as possible, and make
his way to Canada, as near to Ohio as
possible, and there prosecute his canvass
for Governor of that State. That course
would be better for freedom to his own
country, to which he has devoted his life,
better for himself and his own power of
usefulness, and better for US who are deep
ly concerned in every effort which looks
TO the overthrow of the Black Republican
Government which rules at Washington
to the disgraceof civilization aud human
ity." -r-t .--.-..- II ca.L sssl-

WHOLE NO. 2447.
A Disunion Peace against the Peeu
mary Interest of the Working Man.

--->--S ~ASSAO GOV " bAO w OA0Ah6 @--~---
The fall of sixteen cents in gold since
the defeat of Lee, and the capture of
Vicksburg, shows that its price depends
upon the success of the Government in
the prosecution of the war. After every
important victory to the Union arms,
gold will take another downward leap.
and when the rebellion is suppressed,
greenbacks and the currency of the Gov
ernment Banks, will be at par. The
prices of staple commodities, such as
breadstuffs, provisions, &C., sympathlze
with those of gold. When the price OF
gold goes down the cost of these necessa-
ries IS lessened to the consumer, ana
hence it is that every citizen OF the
North, and especially every laboring man
has direct pecuniary interest in the sue
cess OF the Union arms. All opposition
TO the Government, all that tends to en-
barrass it II the conduct of the war, such
as resistance to the draft, assaults on en-
rolment officers, &C., is favorable to the
rebels, and for that reason tends TO in
crease the cost OF every commodity TO
the working man. .ss a
Peace is attainable but in two ways -
first, by coneeding to the rebels all they
claim; second, by their unconditional
submission to the Government. The
first is the kind of peace Vallandigham
and his supporters advocate. A cessation
of hostilities,, such as they insist upon,
would leave the rebels in undisputed pos
session of the territory they now hold,
involve the destruction of our national
Government and make shipwreck of the
property and business interest Of the 10y
al States. Peace thus established would
be dishonorable, disgraeefuI, and humili-
ating, and would be followed by auniver-
sal bankruptcy, in which the little saw
ings of the laboring man would be the
first to be swallowed up; peace on the ba-
sis of suppressing the rebellion would at
once place our country at the heighth of
power and prosperity greater than it has
ever attained. While We are aware that
the great body of the people are infu-
eneed by higher motives than those Of
narrow self-interest, it is to the latter
that the opponents of thelwar chiefly ap-
peal. From this We infer that there are
some who are capable of being thus in
huenced, and for this reason, we have
thought 1t proper to present the pecunia-
ry considerations which should induce
those who are deaf to every other appeal
to stand by the Government. Aside
from all dictates of patriotism, it is
against the interest of every voter, to sup
port the so called peace candidates. ..l4l Il

vallandigham Urged to Withdraw.

The Cincinnati Commercial has it from
high authority. and from various parties
who have the facts from Vallandigham's
friends, that the Distinguished Exile has
been urged to withdraw his name from
the ticket nominated at the June Conyen-
ton. 1t is said, adds the Cleveland Her
aid, that many of the pilgrimages lately
made to the Falls were not those of adula-
ton for the exile, but that since the great
Federal success in July, and the fair pros
pect of crushing the rebellion by arms,
and the manifest uprising of the people
of Ohio in favor of John Brough, the
more discerning of these politicians have
taken the alarm, and are anxious to
throw overheard the cause of their troub-
les, who has raised the tempest of pop
ular indignation to such height that the
shaky and shabby craft which they are
attempting to guide through boisterous
waters is in danger of going down with all
on board.

From the 125th Regiment.

HILLsBoRo, Tenn. Aug 10Th, 1868.
Dear Chronicle " Yesterday, in company
with four others, with an ambulance and
two good saddle horses, went twelve
miles from camp to the foot of the Cum
berland Mountains, in quest of vegeta-
hles. We took nothing but our revolvers
with which to protect ourselves. and to
quiet any anxiety that. might arise
in the mind of any who may read this
letter, will here state that we met with
no misfortune. Not a reb obstructed our
field of vision.
As articles of barter, we took with us a
few pounds each of coffee, sugar, salt and
soap. Greenbacks are in good demand
through the country, butas the above arti.
cles have been very scarce for 4 long time,
they are especially acceptable We had
no difficulty in exchanging two pounds of
coffee for one bushel of potatoes, a pound
of sugar for four quarts of tomatoes, one
pound of coffee for two pounds of butter
or two dozen eggs, pound of salt for a nice
young chicken, and other things in pro-
portion. Green corn was plenty, SO we
helped ourselves without price Although
this is an excellent fruit country, apples
and peaches are neither plenty nor OF
good quality, this season. We secured
about two bushels of each at moderate rates.
Having our load complete, we returned
to camp in time to pass the pickets before
the countersign was put on, As ON other
occasions, | improved every good oppor-
tUnity of observing the tendency of pub
lie opinion concerning the rebellion. One
ching is perfectly established, the noun
tains are full of deserters from the rebel
army. Deserters come to our lines daily,
anxious to swear allegiance to the Union.
Many intelligent men declare their con.
viction that fair election would place
Tennessee back in the Union by an ovei-
whelming majority. Frequent mass meet,
ings held by the citizens wherever they
can have the protection of our army, and
where none but Union sentiments are ex
pressed, is another evidence which cannot
bemistaken. If Rosecrans' army is not do.
ing much with sword and bayonet to crush
the rebellion. it is yet doing a good work
Wherever we 60 a love foF the Old Union
Immediately begins TO develop. We leave
loyal people behind us.
Our sick are being sent to the rear as
fast as possible, our trains are being load
ed with ammunition and supplies, and eE
ry indication points to an onward move
very soon. When our ranks shall he
swelIed by the addition of thirty thous
and more loyal men from Ohio, what {
sweep We will make through the cotton
fields of the Gulf States? Again we say
''come ON boys, and see the country ~
Don't rust out at home, while so wide anC
so noble sphere of action Is opened t.
you. Muster whatever of courage fre,
American air has inspired within you anC
strike once for Liberty. Quiet your con
science with no reasoning which suggest
an evasion of military duty, but come il
person and ever afterward enjoy the assu
rance that your patriotism has been pro
ven by acts.

discretion. He replied TO Lee: "You

That's the way they treated tories in
