Can not something be done to rid this
city of the imposition practiced upon it by
set of sharpers styling themselves bounty
agents? This city is deeply interested In
call, and absolutely needs all the men to be
found In the city, who are willing to enlist;
and the different wards are willing to pay
q fair bounty, and that, too, all to the re-
cruit, without the intervention of "boun-
ty broker" who probably pockets good

THE CITY.

A CONDUCTOR DEAD BEAT.-A corpulent
and good natured Conductor on the Column
bus and Cleveland railroad, and one of the
best in the country, was sold the other day
in a singular manner. His train, the morn
ing express, was rolling towards Cleveland
at the rate Of forty miles an hour when
several men were noticed on the track
ahead, who, upon the approach of the train,
ran up the embankment and commenced
gesticulatng in the most energetic and &C.
centric manner The engineer, supposing
that the men intended to warn him of a
broken rail or ruined bridge, whistled
down the brakes and stopped the engine,
but the train was running so fast that it
could not be stopped until the men were
passed. The clever Conductor, in order to
save time, leaped from the train and ran
back to inquire "what in thunder was the
matter, that they should gesticulate in that
manner and stop the train" "The devil
take your train, responded one of the men,
as he danced about and struck out at the
air. "We didn't stop your train. We ran
into q blasted humble bees nest, and are
flghtin' 'em!" The Conductor regained
his train as speedily as possible, the whistle
was sounded and the train dashed away to
make up time, leaving the men on the track
behind still fighting the enraged bees.

THE WAGES OF ARMoRY WoRKMEN.- has
been known for some time past that the pay
of the workmen engaged in gun-cleaning,
&C., at the State Armory, complained with
good cause of the insufilciency of their
wages. Last April petition was drawn
up to be presented to Quartermaster Gener-
al Barlow, but was suppressed by some
foreman or subaltern, who threatened to
discharge any man who dared to present
the document to the General. The petition
has come into our possession, with re-
quest that it be published, and as the griev-
ances mentioned, instead of being remedied,
have been aggravated by the time which
has elapsed, we comply with the request
and give the document:

COLUMBUS, April 7th, 1864.
Brig. Gen. BarloD, @. N. General of Ohio:
SIR: We the employees of the armory,
most respectfully beg leave to call your at
tention to the following facts, viz:
1st. Tatrent have advanced at least 30
per cent. since the first day of January,
1854.
I'd. That marketing and groceries have
advanced from 25 to 80 per cent. during the
same period.
3rd. That wearing apparel has been stead
lily advancing in price, and that it is only
by the most rigid economy that we can get
along without running in debt.
4th. That mechanics and laborers Of all
kinds, are receiving from % to 80 per cent.
more than we do; and that as ALL or nearly
all, the hands employed in the Armory are
old and experienced, understand their du-
ties, they most respectfully solicit you, (if
tits within your province) to advance their
pay at any rate per cent. that you may
deem proper and just.
We remain, General, very respectfully,
your most obedient servants,

Renaissance OF ! Traitor.


The Nashville Union has the following
Renaissance of the Ohio Representative
who has mlde himself so Infamous, by his
reasonable utterances:
We nscolleot well when Alexander the
Copy-suTnamed the Long which is near
y as distinguished a title to start upon as
Great-Was candidate for Congress,
It was during the dark days of 1862,
when Net Clellan retreatsd from the PENN
sula; when Pope transferred his headquar-
ters from the saddle t. the forti6cations
at Washington, after having made a re-
treat for which he refused to make prepar-
ations; and when Kirby Smith vas be-
seiging Observation-Disclosures home, he
was wonderfully patriotic; was member
Of the military committee Of Hamilton
county, and gave literally towards the
payment Of bounty for recruits; he made
speeches urging men to enlist in the glo-
rious cause of his country; talked war,
and declared he was prepared to act war,
if his bleeding country demaEded such a
sacrifice; and, by way Of earnest, induced
young law partner 20 enter the army;
he went around among his religious
brethren-for Alexander the Long is
devoted member of the church-and urg-
ed them to support him for personal con
sideradons, as he was as good aswar man
as his competitor -Gurley, the then sitting
member.
He held tickets all day at the polls in
his own Ward-the Eighth-in Cinein-
natl, and persistently importunel all his
friends and acquaintances to vote for him,
pledging his word that be was for the sup
preston Of the rebellion at all hazards,
and declaring that to compromise with
traitors would be dishonUrable in the
highest degree
Gurley has u1any enemies among men,
bers Of his own party, and the conse-
quence was that Alexander the Long over
reached his rival, and was accredited a
from the Second Congress
sional District Of Cincinnati by a MAORI
ty Of 131 votes out Of a poll Of 10000. 4
A few days after his elction, a brother
in Aiexander's church, who had always
been a Republican, but who had voted
for him out of personal considerations,
upon solicitations, and a pledge that he
was a good war man, called upon him TO
offer congratulations. Alexander profer-
ed his hand, and vouohsafed one of his
best smiles; but was little Mortified
when asked something about the details
Of the war.
81 had better not talk with you" said
he, you are for war; for peace we
can't agree, and as brethren in the church,
we should not quarrel"
The gentleman left the Congressman,
feeling that he had been completely sold,
and conveyed the intelligence to others,
who, like himself, had been deceived; and I
they all resolved that never again should (
personal considerations induce them to
vote for a doubtful candidate. The result /
vas, at the last Fall election, Governor
Brough carried the District by about /
I 900 majority.

The Sanitary Commission and the
Scotch Woman.


The following touching incident illus
trates the kind Of work which is being ac-
complished by the noble Sanitary Com
missions A Scotch woman, after nursing
her wounded son until he was almost well,
found her money SO nearly gone that she
could not remain with him, yet she could
not bear to leave him dependent only up
on the ordinary hospital supplies, lest, as
she said ehe shouldn't be SO we'll. A
kind friend took her to a store-house to
procure a few luxuries for her boy He
ordered supply Of sugar, tea, soft crack
ers and canned fruit, then chicken, and
oysters, then jelly ard wine, brandy, milk
and underclOthing, until the basket was
full. As the earlier articles nestled under
its lids, her face was glowing with salts
faction; but as the latter lots were being
added, she would draw him aside to whis-
per that it was too much,-really, she
hahn t enough money; and when the more
expensive items came from the shelves,
the shadow Of earnestness which gloomed
her eountenance grew into one of perplex
ity, her soul vibrating between motherly
yearning for the lad on his bed and the
scant purse in her pocket, until, slowly,
with great reluctance, she began to return
the costliest.
"Hadn't you better ask the price ?" said
her guide.

"WeH, what do you suppose becomes

She hadn't thougt-she supposed they
went to the army-but was evidently
bothered to know what connection there
could be between their Aid Society and
the basket.
