~ ~ CINCINNATI, June, 81 1863.
"To GovENoR Ton: 1t is of the utmost
Importance that the people of Ohio
should respond with the greatest alac-
rity to the call of the President for
troops from this State. The enemy is
now threatening our Northern cities
with a large force. The vital necessity
of promptly meeting and driving them
back must be felt by every man. The
sudden call oflast year, which result
ed in such an immense loss of time, la
Dor and money, the stoppage ofall bu-
siness transactions, and the risk Of se-
rious disaster, should be remembered.
The recurrence of that excitement can
be avoided now by the prompt efforts
of the people in aid of the Presidents
call, and the Immediate organization of
a well disciplined force. feel conf
dent that the people of Ohio have only
to know the necessity for this call to
insure an instant and hearty response
Epledge my full and earnest co-opera-
tion in every effort to meet and repel
the threatened danger,
"a. b, BURNSIDE, Major General"
This appeal of General Burnside
must be promptly responded to, or our
State is certain to be invaded. Allow
me to recommend that places Of busi-
ness, be closed at three o'clock, p NJ. of
each day, for the coming week, and
that every loyal man devote himself to
the noble work ofraising troops to save
the State from invasion, The camps of
rendezvous s,heretofore designated by me
are in complete readiness to receive all.
who may wish to respond to this call. |
lfthe enemy know that we are prepar-
ed togive them warm reception, they
may not attempttp invade, but if we
remain destitute Of a force to meet them,
they are certain TO do it. Rally, then, |
for the protection of our ircsides, so sa.
cred and dear to all. srsi.rt

main incorporeal hereditaments de
scended to him from his father Mr.
X. Jr., and Mr. v are both candidates
for the office of Clerk of the Court at
the coming election, subject to the
Constitution and the decision of the
Democracy. Now, Mr.. V. ought to
know that tits unconstitutional for any
one else to run for Clerk of the Court
when Mr.. X. is a candidate. The Con-
stitution, construed by the,two, term
rule of tho Democracy, certainly pro
hibitsany ono from being a candidate
for the same Office when Mr.. r. is be.
fore the people. This being the case,
Mr. r. ST., and Mr., V. met at Millers-
port. Mr.. V called Mr. RIA liar
Whereupon Mr.. R.Sr., slapped Mr.. V.
in tho face. And thereupon, Mr., r.
Sr. placed his hair in the hands of Mr.
v, and after a little exortion, lay down

we get them from resident of Mil.

We take this occasion to express our
condemnation Of such unconstitutional

General Hooker's Farewell to the Army

General Hooker's Farewell to the Army--
General Meade's Address to his Troops.
Headquarters, Army of Potomac,
June 28-Gcneral Hooker issued the
following farewell address:
ain conformity with orders from the
War Department, dated June 27;i re-
linquish command of the Army of the
Potomac. 1t is transferred to Major
General George G.. Meade, brave and
accomplished officer who has nobly
earned the confidence and esteem of the
army on many well fought fields. I'm
pressed with the belief that my useful
ness as commander of the Army of the
Potomac is impaired, Ipart from it; yet
not without the deepest emotion. The
sorrow of parting with comrades of so
many battles is relieved by the con-
viction that the courage and devotion
ofthis army will never cease nor fail
that it will yield to my successor, as it
has to me, a hearty and willing support.
With the earnest prayer that the tri-
umph of it's arms may bring successes
worthy of it and the nation, / bid il
farewell

Remember that it was the slow but
certain principles Of military science
representedin Wellington, which alone
could triumph over the brilliant geni,
US of Napoleon.
In this connection, the following
from Gen. Buell's defense is to the
point, Though we do not endorse Gen
eral Buell., believing him to be little bet
ter than traitor, we agree with the
following which is founded on good
sense and military science. 4
The object is not merely to give bat
tie for the sake Of fighting, but TO fight
for victory, or, at least, safety, and with
such advantages as will make success
reasonably certain and the more seri-
.ous the consequences of defeat, the
greater the caution to be observed. -
Ignorance and error multiply battles far
more than calor, and generally NTH the
penalty Of diSastert If precaution and
Observance of rule diminish the number
Of battles, and sometimes miss the ac-
cidental success which folly and rock
lessness might have gained, it is never
thelcss true that, in the end, they usu-
ally triumph.
Since writing tho above Gen. Hook
or has been relieved, and Genl Meade
to the command Of the Army
Of the Potomac. The indications are
that the apparent apathy of the Army
of the Potomac is designed, that Ice
has been allowed to invade Pennsylva-
MIA and Maryland, and that he will be
compelled to fight the militia in his
front ant, the Army of the Potomac in
his rearY sI 10 i17r

A perfect reign of terror exists in

The Telegraph is moro candid than
the majority of Coppcrhead Journals,
in so frankly and Indignantly owning
that rebel guerrillas and bushwhackers
are Democrats. IT is no great otfense,
in the eyes Of tho Telegraph to harbor
murderers and assassins. Suppose you
try harboring assassins and robbers in
Ohio, and see whether the lawswill not
punish You as an accessory.

reason We decidedly disspprove of ev-
cry Infringement Of the rights of loy-
al citizens, every violation, without i'm
peratige necessity, of the municipal

the Constitution of the United States

same sense, we condemn the infringe.
ment of the right Of freedom of spec ch
and freedom Of the press Of loyal citi-

as the palladium Of liberty, particular
ly as no loyal person will abuse the
freedom Of speech or press for the ex,
preston. of sympathics with the enc
mics of his country" &
20. We discriminate carefully be.
tween the Administration and Govern
ment. The former are the men for the
time being, at the head of the Govern
ment, and the latter is the form of
Government itself, as fixed by the Con

pared to do all in his power, even if the
administration for the time being does
not suit him. .".,r9 Jf5h}N 80

Another consequence of his election
would be the invasion ofthe State, anc
the destruction Of our property anc
the desolation ofour homes. This in
vasion may take place hcfore any elec
ton, but in the event ofhis election, il
Is certain. His sympathy with tht
South, frequently expressed and reit,
Grated, and his pledge never to furnish
man or dollar to carry on the wal
against the South, would be astandine
invitation to the rebels to invade the
State Aa early as 1859 he thus ex,
pressed his sympathy for the South in
a speech delivered in Congress; q
"Thon sir, / am not Southern man,
although, in this unholy and uncon,
stitutional crusade against the South,
in the rnidst of the invasion, arson, in
surrection, and murder, to which she
has been subject, and with which she
is atill threatened--with the torch Of
the incendiary and the dagger Of the
aasassln suspended over her-my most
cordial eympathies are wholly with
her"
In the same speech he says. Il am
as good aWestern fre-eater aa the hot
test salamander in this House" ,
,yo And in this same speech he thus as-
sures the South:
yorktown and New Orleans, the
end Of tho revolution, and the end Of
the war Of 1912, are both yours and
there IS no po,per on Garth that can spbduc
or conquer you. i5gt u4fp q
