h There was meeting Of the ''peace-
on-any. tsrms-men" at Dayton, Ohio, on last
Saturday, and vallandigham made speech
thereat. It was about heavy enough to suit
the capacity Of his audience. The meeting
scents to have been Nat affair all round.
The fact is that the idiots are expelltng all
honest, peaoe-}oring men from their ranks
- rapidly ~ is possible. They don't fancy
the sort Of ''peacs'' which includes treason
and means destruction. They walk out Of
that sort Of . crowd and viii be at some
pains to kssp out. They don't mistake the
howlings Of these human wolves for the
genuine song Of the dove. They detest the
attempted fraud and spurn the delusion.-
The signs Of the times are not flattering to
! the crew Of traitors who lead the gang and
| hope to batten on the blood Of the country.
They are understood at last. And being
understood they are condemned already.
The Subscriptions to the $50 loan now
amount to about million daily. That is

tsrmined to accomplish it. It is the peo-
Pies business to do It, and keep doing it,
| It is the small sums, that come from a
great number that effect most, and most
tend to correct the financial evils Of war
that most aid the public and most promote

to this point. Take Of the loans a. often

heads reap some Of the advantages, though
they are not thankful therefor.
1.-THE New York Nescs is Industrious
" laboring to incite another riot in that
city. It declares the DRAFT is wrong, that
it il unjust, that it is not binding or the
people Of that State, and i. urges the
working men to call on 1.-THE sover-
eighty Of the State to interfere and pre-
vent it!
It il wonderful what deal of sympathy
the lottery ticket seller and Copperhead,
Ben Wood, has for men Of industry. He
has got rich by filching their money, and
now he proposes to bstray them out Of their
lives, simply to give temporary aid to his
