The Crisis, a yenomous secession sheet,
published at Columbus, Ohio by sam. Media
nv, was mobbed Friday night by party OF
about one hundred citizens and soldiers. Not
much damage was actually done to the ma
terial of the office, as it seems the mob only
reached the editor room. Governor lod
acted promptly TO prevent the destruction OF
property. The open sympathy manifested by
such papers as the Crisis for the rebels and
the earnest protests of our soldiers in the field
against the course oi these papers, have 40
excited the people against them that 1t is not
to be wondered that such demonstrations are
made The Crisis has been especially bold
and defiant in its expression OF sympathy for
the rebels, and bitter against abe war, and the
wonder is that the loyal people OF Columbus
tolerated it as long as they have.-JonrndL
The above is a quasi endorsement of
the dastardly outrage committed on Gov
ernor MEDARY's office by an Abolition
mob. The Journal styles the Crisis a
"venomous secession sheet and says
the wonder is that the loyal people Of
Columbus tolerated Il as Tong as Mey
haze" The Crisis is not u " secession
sheet " neither has it Leen bold and de-
fiant in its expression of sympathy for the
rebels" The Crisis is Democratic pa
per, able and bold in its defence of the
Constitution ,evere, but Just, in its con
demnation of the violations Of that instru
ment, and of all usurpations of power
This is the head and front" of its Of
Tending But for the sake of argument
let us suppose that the CRISIS is a " seees
sion sheet - does That give a mob thu
right to destroy it D.? Is mob violence Il
take the place Of civil law, in communi
ties where the civil authorities are in pow
er? That is the doctrine set forth by thu
Journal If it is to be the future actor
of the Abolition party, all we desire is t.
know it, The Cincinnati Gazette. how
ever, has the good sense and decency t.
condemn the outrage. 1t says 1.-THE de
struchon Of MEDARY's Crisiss at Colum
bus, was an unjustifable act, and such VIC
lations of law and order cannot be to-
strongly deprecated by good citizens,
and hopes "law abiding people every
where will set their faces against every
thing tending to violence of this charac
ter" The Journal is trying very hard /
ape the Abolition mob-organ, the Cineiu
natl Commercial, in the choice of its Ian
guage used TO denounee Democrats an
Democratic newspapers. We expect 500
TO see in its columns, the stereotype
phrase, "let him be tried, and if lonn
guilty, shot.

MURDER CAsE.-A man by the name
of Solomon Hutzel, was murdered on
Friday last, On the top of Savage Noun
tain, about three miles west of Frostburg
by one of the "Ringgold Cavalry" We
have not been able to gather the facts
fully in relation to this sad affair but
they are briefly as fol lows:
Hutzel, who is citizen of Somerset
county Pa, was on his way to Cum ber-
land with a load of lumber, and stopped
at that point, which is kind of public
place, to feed his horses. In the mean
time threo cavalrymen made their APP
pearance, one of whom soon got into an
alteration with Hutzel on account of
some trifiling affair, whereupon he drew
his revolver and shot his victim through
the body, killing him instantly. 1t is
proper to state that only one of the party
was in any way implicated in the MUIR
der. The guilty party was promptly
arrested and lodged in Jail where he still
remains. His name is John Hmmell
and a member of Capt Keys cavalry
company, widely and familiarity known
as the 'Ringgold Cavalry and was rails
ed in Westmoreland County Pa.

100000 MEN TO BE DRAFTED. The
War Department has autorized 800, 600
men to be drafted Immediately. The
draft has already commenced in some
States, and will be carried into effect as
rapidly as possible throughout all the
loyal States.
We learn from our Provost Marshal
that the enrolling officers for this county
have been appointed and will commence
enrolling Immediately. As soon as the
enrolling is completed the draft will
commence. . ..... -.
In accordance with the Act of Con-
gress, any person drafted can send a
substitute, or pay $500 to the U. s.
Collector of the District, who gives him
a receipt of the same, which exenpts
him from the service for the first draft,
but not for o second draft, if required.
The Government has also resolved to pay
$500 bounty out of the fund created. to
each soldier who has been in active SER
vice, and will re, enlist, believing by this
means they can procure more effective
men than by sending raw volunteers into
the field.

Consul Meade figured largely / the momcr-
tous events of that period of his residence
in Spain. He maintained possession of the
confidence not only of successive admins
ernments which, at fitful intervals, took pos
session of Madrid.
His services in aiding the re-estabishment
of the independence ofSpain were gratefully
acknowledged, not only by the king, the Re-
gency, and the Cortes of the kingdom. but
by the Duke of Wellington, who, wher
known only bv the title of Sir Arthur Well

a personal friend and occasional visitor OF

County Levy, 1868.

In accsrdance with the provisions of section
j of Article 20, of Code Of Public General
Laws of Maryland, the following statement Of
the levy for the year 1868, to meet the current
expenses and charges of the county for that
year, is herewith Submitted and published, BY
the direction of the county Commissioners for
Allegany county. N'-.s- 2
The assessment for the present year amounts
to the sum of IS, 1885, 72 90 being about $500 600
loss than it was at the last year. This appa-
rent deficiency occurs in this way: The COM
missioner at their April meeting, made a tho
rough ovcrhauling of the Assessment Books,
and struck off more than 100000 Of insolvent
taxables which had been accommodating for
number of years, and upon which mo- taxes
were realized during that period. { More than
100000 of good taxables have been placed on
the books, within the last year Tor the first time
so. at present, there are very considerable
more solvent tax payers upon the books than
last year, and indeed at any previous year for
some time. t.......a-,g EE.s
The Levy for 1868 amounts to the sum
at SIS, zoo "A which is considerable in excess
Of that of 1862. This increase is in consequence
of q nuraber of unforeseen and unavoidable lew
les of heavy amounts. For instance the coun-
ty has been owing the school fund. large sum
of money for twenty or twenty-five years, IN
the shape of a loan to build the court house upon
which debt, the county has been payin the in
! tercst all that period The School Commits
siVners OF the county made - demand Tor Soooo
| Of the claim, which was accordingly appropri-
| ated Another item Of $1,000 was levied to re-
pair and renew the road leading from Frost6urg
to Westcrnport, large portion of which was
utterly destroyed by the great focd OF lS6i.-
! Double this amountwas sternly and unanimous
! ly asked for, by the heavy taxpayers OF that
| egion. The large sum of So ,7SO,6l had to be
! levied t. meet deficiencies in the expenses oil
| Circuit Court for last year the estimate of its
| clerk, and levy for said estimate being short
| that amount to cover the extraordinary charges
of that year. Other levies of II similar charac-
ter appear in the list which will more than ac
count for this increase in the general levy
The appropriation for :ho ordinary and floating
expenses Of the county, being aboIt the same
as last year.
TO meet these expenses, the sum OF % cents
on each hundred do lars was levied upon the
assessed property of said county; also the sum
| of 25 cents in tie hundred dollars Tor the state
tax was levied in accordance with the act OF
! 1852, chapter l05
The undersigned would in conclusion state
/ that there are now, no extraordinary appropr-
alton, or claims in prospect, all having been
provided for, 50 that the next general levy
| ought not to exceed from S3j 900 10 5000.
