REy. 5. kEPLER.-Ths able and faith
iul minister preached his farewell sermon in
the NJ. E. Church, on Sabbath evening last.
The congregation which he addressed on the
occasion was one of the largest that ever
assembled at that place of worship. Mr..
keplcr leaves this community regretted by
many ardent friends and with the lasting es-
TEEN Of numbers who do not belong to his
congregation, but who are not bigots in eli
ther politics or religion. His true Christian
course, in refusing to drag politics into the
pulpit, has made him many friends, and not
wlthstanding the persecution of zealots and
the studied opposition of some from whom
better things were expected, he leaves his
charge, with his salary ooe,7,aid to tile A.
mount Of fifty dollars, very good evil
dence that no man can be put down in this
community for opinions sake.

The Conservation Bill,

We take up our pen not to condemn the
measure whose title forms the caption Of tins
article, but to warn Congress and the Pres
ident against its passage. We have alrca-
dy denounced it as bold infraction of the
Federal Constitution and contemptuous in
.vasion Of the reserved rights of the States.
We have exposed its design to give the scep-
tro Of despotism into the hand of the Pres
idcnt, and have sounded the alarm to the
people in regard to its insitlious purpose TO-
ward the republic. But our duty does not
cease here. We owe it, if not to ourself
and our fellow men, most certainly to ''those
in authority" to utter at least word of
warning to the men upon whose action de-
pcnds the fate of this bill. We say to Con-
gress, stay your cncroaching hand, lest you
wake the sleeping lion of Pennsylvania's
pride! We say TO the President, make not
Dionysius Of yourself, for there are yet Da-
mons among the people of the North who
will dare to resist any usurper! Your de-
sign against the liberty of the people and
the sovereignty of the States, is needless
and wanton. You can obtain soldiers to
carry on ycur war, by using the means which
the Constitution provides, and by making
drafts according to State regulations, or
where none such exist, according to the
laws of Congress in such case made and
provided. The people know this, and, there
fore, regard this conscription bill as an out
rage upon the States and as an attempt to
rob them of their liberty. You have asked
much of the people of the North, and much
have they granted. You demanded their
substance and they gave of it; you asked
for their blood and they poured it out; and,
now. after all their meek submission to your
-exactions, after all their inefable suffering
and privation, you would wrest from them
what they love better than even family and
friends, Constitutional freedom! Do not,
as you value the peace of the North, the
stability of the Government, nay, your very
hives, imagine that our people are such slaves
as TO submit to 80 great wrong! We say
70 you, in friendly caution, beware! The
people sent their sons and brothers to die
for you, when you pretended to fight for the
right; they will die, themselves, rather than
yield the right, and that, too, in defiance of
any foe, be he perjured rebel or forsworn Of

MORGRET.--In Friends Cove, on the 9Th
of Feb, MIR. Peter Morgrct, in the 8lst year o
his age.
Deceased was prominent and highly rcspcc
ted citizen of our county and died regretted by
large circle of friends. A lto of steadincss
frugality and virtue, heightened his years beyond
the usual span, and now he has gone to his rest
like one
"Who wraps the drapery of his couch around
him,
And lies down to pleasant dreams. l-ED.
BULGER.--In Woodberry, on tie 9TH inst,
Andrew NJ. Bulger, son of Margaret and Dan.
B. Bulger, aged 20 years, months and2l days.
The funeral of the deceased, was preached, in
the afternoon of the 10th, in the Methodist
Church, in this place, by the Reverend Fousc.
Seldom, on occasions like this, have we wit
messed such a concourse of people
The church was filled to overflowing, and as
many more outside, all eager to pay the las
tribute of respect to brave and gallant soldier,
ere his body should be consigned to its narrow
home, to mingle with tho dust.
Andrew entered, as volunteer, the service
of the United States, August oath, 1861. He
was a member of Company c, 10th Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers, (that veteran, but
alas! shattered regiment which time only can
sufficiently honor and Eternity reward) and it
is but just to the memory of the deceased, to
say that he was one of its most faithful and de-
,oted heroes. Besides number of skirmishes
he was in the memorial battle of Winchester
on the 23d of March, 1862, and in the battles
of Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Thorough
fare Gap, and Bull Run, in all Of which, we
are reliably informed, he displayed a gallantry
which won the appreciation Of his companions
in arms, and which should endear him to the
hearts OF his countrymen for whom he sacrificed
his life.
After marching with his regiment some two
thousand miles, and enduring the privations and
perils of war for a year and half, his physic-
al constitution, though formerly very healthy,
wasted away; he rsccivedhis discharge from tho
service, and returned home, where he remained
until he died.
A few weeks previous to his3eath, ho receiv-
ed the ordinance Of baptism, and became a
member of the German Reformed Church. His
dying words were, "Mother, am going home.
desire to depart and be with Christ, which is
far better" o, how consoling is such tho't

The President ofthe United States:
The undersigned, having been appoin-

the 11th instant, to communicate with
you on the subject Of the arrest and ban

earnest consideration. And they deem it
proper to state that the Convention was

in that State
RESOLUTIONS
/. That the will of the people is the foundation
of all free government. That to give effect to
this will, free thought, free speech and free
press are absolutely Indispensable. Without free
discussion, there is no certainty of sound judg
ment there can be no wise government.

right of the people TO discuss all measures OF theiI
oyernment, and to approve or disapprove as te
their best judgement seems right. Ihat they
have like right TO propose and advocate tha
policy which in their judgement is best, and Il
argue and vote against whatever policy seems Z
them totviolate the Constitution. to impair thei
liberties, or to be detrimental to their welfare.
g. That these and all other rights, guaranteed
10 them by their constitutions, are their rights il
time of war as we'll as in times of peace; and o
far more value and necessity in war than in peace
For in peace liberty, security and property ar
seldom endangered; in war, they are ever III peril
A. That we now say to all it may concern, no
by way of threat, but calmly and firmly, that W
will not surrender these rights, nor submit to thei
forcible violation. We will obey the laws ouI
selves, and all others must obey them.
IL. That Ohio will adhere to the Constitutio
and the Union as the best, it may be the last, hop
of popular freedom, and for all wrong
(which may have been committed or evils whic
may exist, will seek redress, under the Constitr
ton and within the Union, by the peaceful bu
powerful agency of the sutfrages of free people
a. That we will earnestly support every col
stitutional measure tending to preserve the Unio
of the States. No men have greater intere
in its preservation than We have--none deserve
more; there are none who will make greater sa'
rifces or endure more than we will to accomplis
that end. We are, as we ever have been, q
devoted friends of the Constitution and the Vi
ion. and We have no sympathy with the enemies
either,

What noble words They breathe and burr
They may not be forgot;
The watch-word Democrats will learn
Stand firm, and falter not.
Though prosecutions storm doth rage,
And blight each lovely spot;
These words are still our heritage
Stand trm, and iater not.
Your dearest rights they may assail,
For which your fathers fought;
But your stout hearts must never quail
Stand firm, and falter not.
Our free born minds they can't subdue,
Though we in prison rot;
Wen to our country still prove true
Stand tirm and falter not.
Our names they clothe with infamy,
Our fame they malign and blot;
Yet still this Is our rallying cry
Stand firm, and falter not
Then Democrats, be wise and brave;
With patience bear your lot;
'Tis you your country yet must save
Stand firm, and falter not.

PRINTER's TALK.-Every profession
has it's technical terms, and, of course,
the printers have "smattering," which
is ouly intelligibfe' TO the craft. The
following is a specimen. 1t don't mean,
however, as much as it would seem to
the uninitiated: :-"Jim, put Gen. Lee on

that Indian you commenced yesterday
Set up the ruins of Guy andotte; diStri-

hell, and then go to the devil, and he
will tell you how to dispose of the dead

has decided that 'greenbacks" are net
legal tender. We had no doubt that the
counts would thus decide when the ques-

that point to convince any assemblage of

The usual Sunday rumors of bat

been observed which are usually made
on the eve Of great battle.

Summary for the Week.
FROM CHARLESTON.-MORE
GREEK FIRE.

New YORK, October 3l.-The
Times has the following from Morris
Island on the 9th: Three heavy
guns have been turned upon the city
of Charleston, and each has throw r.
one shell containing the Greek fire
into the very heart of that place.
Other guns are to open this p. NJ. Ii
was not intended at first to make a
commencement Of such vigorous oper-
atieus, but circumstances have chang
cd the programme. Our batteries are
at work on johnson, Sumter and
Moultrie.
The enemy replies reservedly to-
day. He is evidently taken with sur
prise so far as the Smelling Of Charles
ton is concerned, although he has
had sufficient warning.
Four monitors are in position OFT
Sullivan's Island, and it is unders-
TODD that they will engage the rebel
works this P. NJ.
The Ironsides shows no disposition
to participate. Her ropes are strung
with sailors washing.
Headquarters Department Of the
South, Oct. 27.-A number Of heavy
guns in Wagner and Gegg opened
on Sumter, Monltrie and johnson
yesterday morning.
Firing was continued at regular
intervals throughout the day until
dark, aud resumed again this morn
ing. The range of the guns on Sum
ter and johnson is onethira less than
it was before the capture of Wagner
and Gregg. The firing on our side
was excellent, every shot seeming to
be effective.
Tire enemy did not commence an
animated reply till about noon yester-
day. His practice is inferior to that
exhibited weeks ago.
At the present moment of writing
no casualty has occurred on our side
side and no perceptible damage to
our works has been sustained.
The land batteries alone have been
engaged.
The object of the fire was to get
perfect range of the rebel works and
to prevent the construction of any in
terror batteries and mounting any
guns in Sumter.

Extraordinary Case of Treason Brought
to Light.

CINCINNATI, Nov. IAN extraor-
binary case of treason has recently
come to light duplicating several per-
sons i'll this city, Columbus, Coving-
ton and Newport, in conspiring to
release rebel prisonersat Camp Chase,
and overthrow the State government.
The conspiracy was brought to light
by United States detectives who we're
supposed by the parties implicated to
be spies from the rebel army, and
were treated with full confidence.
The plot as discovered by the de-
tectives, was that an attack be made
on Camp Chase and release the pris-
oners confined there, numbering s.
500, seize the arsenal at Columbus,
take possession of the penitentiary
and release John Morgan and other
officers confined there, and then was
to commence rebel campaign in
Ohio.
