Meeting on Saturday last.

Meeting on Saturday last.
The Town Hall was filed to oyerAowing on
Saturday last. The roads being excessively
bad, it was not expected TINT a large lumber
would be present But the Democracy feel
ing the Importance of the times, and the dan
gers that menace the liberties of the country,
came up through the mud in large numbers,
and listened attentively to the speeches deliv-
cred on that occasion. The best of all was'
that large numbers of Republicans were pre-
sent, and declared before they left the Hall
that they had voted their last Republican
ticket. 81. S. KNAPP, Esq, being called for
delivered a very sound speech on the nature
of our institutions, and the dangers with
which they were surrounded, by the usurpa-
tions of Mr.. Lincoln and his horde ofminions
who were sapping the life-strength of the
country by their scoandrelisms. w. B. Nc
CARTY also made a very fine effort on the same
subject, showing the Administration in its di-
rect violations of the Constitution; and the
tendency Of Mr.. LINCOLN and his followers to
overthrow the Constitution and Laws of the
country and to erect a central ~despotism upen
the ruins of our ~country-thus under the plea
of saving the country to really enslave it, by
crushing out all the safeguards of liberty.

THE ATLANTIC & GREAT WESTERN Road
We take great pleasure in transferring to our
columns the following highly fattering notice
of this Road from the Cleveland Leader of
yesterday.
ssThe track of this road, as we have before
noticed, has reached Franklin Mills, and in. a
very few days trains will be running regularly
to Akron. The energy which has been dis
played by Chief Engineer Kinnard in push
ing this road to completion, is something mar
velous. During the last year he built taoo
1aadre@ nizeseGcea1. .Etl1o
pleted to Cincinnati this year, and that he will
run his cars from New York to St. Louis be-
fore next New Year, using the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi track west I Cincinnati. This is a
big promise, but heis just the man to fulfil it.
The machine and car shops at Meadville
are to be on the most extensive scale of any
in the country. Three hundred thousand dol
lars have been appropriated for the purpose,
and materials are provided for the immediate
construction of five hundred cars"

Friend Ts1 pen you a few lines to
let you know how the bloody 10th is getting
along down here in this land Of cation. where
the nIggers Ue and are getting rotten. A
niger is not as much looked after by US sol
diers as a mule is, for we see that our mules
are fed, and if a contrabard comes into our
camp for something to eat, We club him out.
I saw two niggcrs die from starvation. We
lust dug a hole and rolled them into it like
dead hogs. 1 tell you 1 have come to my
senses at last. [ now think that this is moth
ing but a damned abolition war-a war for
the mighty niger; and more than this,-un-
der the present Administration this war will
not be closed l think the only way to close
it is to have an armistice of 80 days. One
thing is sure this emancipation policy must
be recalled, or all of the army of the Missis-
sippi will desert inside of six months. Of all
the brutes that tread the face of the earth l
hate a Niger the worst. When our mess was
formed at Camp Mansfield, there were six alb
olitionists, of which I was one; and now there
is not a man of as for the Niger.
We say stop this civil war Immediately, and
settle this question in some other way. Our
boys, (some of them are of the opinion that
the trouble will be settled in this way in less
than two months from this time. Amen to
the war.
We are busy digging canals, like Irish pad
dies. We have dug two canals since we have
been down here, and they both proved to be a
fzzle.
L must close. I want you to write to me
soon.
