The Fate OF the Hundred Days
Mem

The Ohio State Journal the central
organ of Republicanism in Ohio, publish
es letter from Washington, giving an
account Of the condition of such of the
Hundred Days Men as has been barbar-
ously sent to the front "On one day in
this month, the Second Brigade, Third
Division, 10th Army Corps, composed of
the 130th, 134th, and 142d Regiments,
o. n. G., had 1,400 men fit for duty, and
LOO men on the sick list" This is an
appalling fact. and would bring to their
senses people who had any reason left.
But it falls unheeded on the ears of fana-
tics; ; for fanatics are wholly lost to reason.
The writer demands that the Hundred
Days men be called home, that their
"valuable lives may be spared" There
would be sense and humanity in this de-
mand, if it were not for the consideration,
that if the war continues, other men must
be sent to fill their place, and other lives
be sacrificed, quite as valuable as those oi
the Ohio National Guards.

These families are nov receiving relief at
the average rate Of one dollar aud halt al
week, and a simple calculation shows that at
this rate, which no one will cali extravagant,
the amount required for year is S1o,OOO
To meet this outlay the Commissioners

From County levy, mill..............SN,O0 900
From State mills (estmated) ss,O0o-s65OOo

In ADDITION TO these taxes the City author

The needy families of the "Hundred Days

needy circumstances, and they have instruct.
ed the trustees that the following classes Of
persons are not to be considered as entitled

Nothing Later from Grant.

WARRINGTON, July 3I.
SUNDAY EvEMYo Nothing later than eight
o'clock yesterday morning has been received
from Petersburg Word comes here that the
widest reports and rumors prevailed in the
North and West TO day Those who jump at
once TO the conclusion tha: Petersburg has
been destroyed and Lees army overthrown
are likely, it may be said TO be downcast on
the receipt OF the next news from the scene
Of conflict; while those who remember that
the rebels are stalking every thing on the re
suit Of the contest, and who are content with
what General Grant meant when he said from
Spottsylvania, "The advantage is on our
side" will, it is believed, have futher cause
for admiration OF the brave soldier who leads
the brave soldiers who fight and endure.

IT is no doubt designed, by the lying
charges made against the Democracy, of
conspiracy against the Government"
&C., to deter and frighten Democrats from
meeting and organizing. The design will
utterly fail The Democracy are not to
be frightened by the calumnies of their
foes. They are too well used to this sort
of thing to be scared at it. Conspiracy
against the Government When, in all
the annals of time, was there SO great a
conspiracy against any Government, or
so successful one, as that of the Republi-
can party against the Constitutional Gov
ernment of our fathers ? They are a
pretty set of fellows to talk about con-
spirators Democrats, busy yourselves
in the work of organization. The great
day is coming which is to decide finally
the fate of our country. Peace or war
Freedom or Despotism these are the
issues which the next election involves.

Say Greeley thinks peace is not so imprsc-
ticable aS many suppose That is, we believe,
true but the party now in power will never
accomplish that practicable thing. They we're
not made to restore Union or end rebellion
They are the party to provoke rebellion, to
consolidate it, to multiply rebels indefinitely
Tney found the South divided they have
united them all in rebe llion. They found the
North united they have exercised their ge-
MUS in getting up rebellion in that section,
and it is marvellous how they have succeeded
They, in fact, boast that nearly half, if not
quite half the North are rebels If they are
not, they can by their skillful practice make
them so. 1t comes natural to them TO get up
rebeliions and make men hate the Govern
ment
We may ascribe this to Satanic skill they
have but we are inclined to think it is in
stinetive; that it is done without effort When
reading the conduct of Charles l., Louis
XVII, or George III, we are forced almost
TO ask what is the matter with the fool? Is he
determined TO get up rebellion Their acts
seemed skillfuily adapted to the end of Great
ing and augmenting the rebellion, but they
didn't mean IT, 1t was an instinct, or it was
manifest destiny So it is with the party now
in power They make rebels and cant help
| it. So, whilst we believe that peace and Union
are practicable, they are impractcable to Lin
coin h Co. Il Is not in their line, When the
country wishes TO make or keep p rebellions,
let it call on them but for Union aud peace,
we must look to some other party and other
men Louisville Democrat
