Two DEsAPPOINTrENrs,'

There is one thing the rebels counted upon
when they inaugurated the rebellion for the
destruction OF the national Government, which
has not been realized and another thing
they did not count upon, which has been re.
allied. In the first place 1t was believed tiat
Cotton was king and would rule the world
Upon this point they were mistaken. In the
next place it was believed they would secure
their Independence without experiencing Sc.
rious resistance. In this they have also been
disappointed. These expectations and dis
appointments are admitted in the following
paragraph, which we select from the report
Of Mr.. Memniinger, Secretary Of tho Treas
ury.
AT the commencement Of the war no one
foresaw the extent to which it would be car
RED 1t was not expected that we would be
called upon to check the advance Of half a
million of men, supported by the whole out
er world, while we were shut in to our own
soil and resources. Our products were tho't
essential to tho rest Of mankind, and i: was
believed that they would come and buy
them"
And now, the rebels having discovered that
the world will get along without Southern
products, they may also feel assured that the
further extent to which the war viii to car
ricd, must depend altogether upon the length
of time it will require TO re-establish tho Ma
tional authority in the rebellous States. 1t
is not question of men or money, but one
OF complete and absolute success. SO then,
if the rebels miscalculatc in counting the
cost OF their rebellion, and the availability Of
their resources, in the future their folly and
inFatuat!on will have no excuse Cincinnati

TIae S,.co. 2ietUrs ofthc Emancipation
Proclamation.

The public will perhaps remember that
picture of the Proclamation Of Emanc;patio
was presented to the President, Abraham
Lincoln, last February, and which was no.
ticed by the.press at the time as splendidly
executed" and "a finer display or more
tasteful skill in the execution We have never
witnessed" 1t is but justice to say that the
engraving Of this splendid picture is now
completed, and ready for distribution.
No public document--not even the ,ieclar-
alton Of dependvalc--has been executed
with evenan approach to the style in which
this picture Of the proclamation is gotten up.
Itcomprises displayed letter, headings, pre!ac-
ing the whereas" and proclamation with a
splendid display CT dourishing around the
same then follows, in beautiful engraved
hand, the proclamation, with the emphatic
words lettered in variety Of styles. TO-.
The crownng glory Of the picture forming
center-piece, is an accurate and faithful
portrait Of Abraham Lincoln, the author Of
the proclamation. There are besides four
other appropriate figures.
We propose to make it an object for our
gallant soldiers in the service, or whose time
has expired, and widows of those who have
fallen, to give this picture wide circulation
The price of the picture will be one dollar,
bat to such as become agents it will be fifty
cents per copy.
TO newspapers inserting this notice and
forwarding paper containing the same to
my address, Immediately upon receiving it
will forward the picture free of charge.

BUTLER COUNTY.

We are informed that most Of the town.
ships in Butler County succeeded in raising
their quotas, and that it is not impossible
that all have escaped the draft. BY Lieut..
Converse we learn that all the Southern town
ships, for certainty, are all right. Clarks-
willie is the most doubtful locality. We had
hope Of getting full returns before going to
press, but are disappointed. However, there
is no doubt but what Butler has done nob!y,
under all the circumstances, and has coed
reason to be we'll satisfied and proud Of her
response to the country's call for men to eli
up the ranks of her veteran armies. The
Board of Supervisors was in session las.
Monday. with bill before it for granting
$500 bounty to volunteers, and it was thought
there was no doubt but wha. it would pass.
1t would be but an act Of justice to the men
who have volunteered from that county, and
though too late to stimulate cnlistments,
would be, We think, all things considered, to
the advantage Of the county. Though we
hear there was considerable opposition to the
bill, on what ground we do not know--we
hope, as we believe we will, to hear Of its
passage, and We think we express the views
of the majority Of the patriotic people of But
Ter. If it shall be true that our neighboring
county has filled her quota, or nearly so, by
volunteers enlisted with no expectation Of
receiving other than the reward offered by
Government, she deserves great credit as
most Of counties offering local bounty Of
500 and $500 have not doao better than
she. And though late it is better than never
for tho couDty to reward her self sacrificing
patr lots by voting the liberal bounty propos-
