The Cleveland Herald Of Wednesday
says:
When the train from Columbuj reach
ed Crestlnc yesterday, a man came on
and got into conversation with one of the
passengers. Finding the passenger u
rather good natured sort of fellow, the
stranger "unbosomed" himself TO him -
ii g said he had two daughters, young
girls, on the train, and that he wished to
take them to c. eveland. They were
motherless, poor things, hoving lost their

was endeuvoring To get the II to Cleveland
to place them in charge Of relative who
had consented to take care of them. Un.
fortunately he had spent all his ready
money on his wile's funeral, and he was
without funds to pay the fare of himself
or the girls. He had nice gold witch

having "seen In the papers" about similar
hard-up gentlemen, who deposited as se-

The Rev. J. $. C.. Abbott concludes
an article in the CongrcgatioDalist, as
follows:
"As Jesus, on the mountains Of Judea,
died for all nations, so we, amidst Inc
marshes of the Chlokahomny, aud on the
turbulent waves Of the Mississippi, nre
fighting the battles Of uniycrsll humani-
y. We are shedding our blood for the
oppressed everywhere. THIS ia tho last
great battle between the demon of aristo-
cratic usurpation, aud the angel of popu.
lar rights. As soon as this question is
settled, and the foul iend Of oppression
is laid-thcn there is an end to the war.
History proves that nearly every war
which has dcsolated our globe, has orig :
mated In the same cause which is now
drenching our land In blood.-the desire
of the strong aud rich to live at the ex-
pensc Of the weak and the poor. This

The Next Union Candidate for Congress.

We announce in this issue of our paper the
death of the Hon. William Temple, our towns
man and Representative in Congress, elect, on
the 2Sth ultimO This occurrance will neccssi-
tate thu opening of another Congressional cam
paign, another great struggle between the 10y
al forces of the men who have heretofore de-
termincd ut all hazards to sustain the Govern
mcnt Of the FtuhcrS and those whose course
tends to strengthen the rebellion. To meet
the emergency now soon 10 be upon us, which
we see is already being agitated in the Whining
ton papers, We commend, with more than or
dinary pleasure, the name of our townsman,
Col. Eliwin Wilmer, as a candidate for our
next Representative in Congress. We do this
the more readily, because We know, as all men
in this State are fully aware that, possessing
the ability to serve the people in this capacity,
he will add to this ability a moral power and
unfinching frmness which but few men in the
State qualified for this high position possess.
1t is unnecessary further to speak of him at
this time, as our purpose is but to suggest,
what has no doubt been suggested to the minds
of the numerous friends of Col. Wilmer, al
over the State AS the election will not be
held, probably, until the first Tuesday in No
vcmber-thc usual time-the time being at the
option Of Gov. Cannon, there will be abundan
opportunity to secure a good nominee. The

suage the grief of those left behind theIh We
cannot look to the future with the hopes Of a
permanent free government; we cannot but
expect repetition of this hOrrid war, within
half a century But let this b: done, what
then? Will not all the toll the suffering, the pri-
vatiOn of the American people be well repaid.
Will not ample remuneration be had for all
lives sacrificed, for all money spent. Will not
the wound in the heart caused by the loss of
father, brother or friend, find balm in the
great truth that they died that their country
might live. Ask the oppressed of Europe
Ask those at present with us who have fled
from the heel of oppression and found here an
asylum in which to enjoy the rights Of man,
temporarily, and spiritually. Go stand on some
mountain height and listen to the footsteps OF
the coming millions, and see in their happi-
ness, their prosperity, their fulness ofcomtort,
that it was good that We should have suffered,
that we should have bled, and died, in order
that the blessings of free government might
descend as glorious heritage to generation af-
ter generation.
Thus may we pcrpetuate the Union. With
the institution removed which was responsible
for the rebellion, there would be no other
question upon which ambitious leaders could
array the sections of our country against one
another With the awful experience of this
war before them, people would be slow indeed
to embark in another. The Union ofthe States
would be re-establishcd upon firm basis, and
the United States of America would exist as
nation long after the monarchies Of Europe had
crumblcd in the dust.
