The SHEET PICTURE OF THE Pro
OF EMANCIPATION, BY MIR.
A. KIDDER.-The first week in Jan
.uarys 1868, and in FIVE days after the
Proclamation of Emancipation was
issued by the President of the United
States, Mr.. A. Kidder, an eminent
photographic artist of Chicago, COM
Imenced illustrating it in an elaborate
and artistic manner, SO that from a
blank sheet of paper there appeared
a beautiful picture of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation, done exclusively
with a pen. When finished, it was
enclosed in heavy, ornamental and
costly gilt frame, exhibited for a
day or two in an Office window,
around which crowds of citizens
thronged, to take a look at this work
of art, which called forth their high
est admiration, and in which they
took noble and cumulative pride,
that such a meritorious work of art
should hail from the resident State of
the Honorable President of the UNI
ted States, and its metropolis city,
Chicago. This picture was duly for
warded to and received by the Presi-
dent of the United States with emin-
ent favor. The slow progress of the
war retarded, until the successes in
East Tennessee, the engraving OF
this splendid picture, which is entire
ly separate and distinct form, as well
as superior to, any and all other pub
lished pictures of the Proclamation.
No picture is genuine copy of
this presentation picture to the
President, which has not the name
of Mr.. A. Kidder as publisher at the
bottom, and also his copy.
Editors are respectfully requested
to publish this, and forward a copy
containing the same to Mr.. A. Kid
der, P. o. Box, 754, Chicago, H., or
Messrs. c. r. Vent & Co., 3S West
Fourth street, Cincinnati, o., Estate
agents for Ohio, and there will be
forwarded by next mail, prepaid, a
genuine copy of the celebrated sheet
picture presented by him to the
President of the United States, which
will be handed down to his children's
children, keepsake to all future
time,- and to the American people,
who will place it among their house
hold gods, and teach their children
how a nation was delivered from
bondage in a day.

the manuscript of Sermon delivered
by the Rev. J. Breare, in Gallipolis,
at the funeral services Of Mr.. ENos
FRosr, late of the 18th Ohio Battery,
with the request that we should lay
It before our readers. 1t would af-
ford US great pleasure to. do so, if
we could possibly compress it within
the limits of a single number. 1t is
impracticable to do this with the
type we now use. To continue it
through two numbers of the Journal,
would do great injustice to the au-
thor, and be unsatisfactory to our
readers. We are therefore obliged
to dispense with it altogether. We
do this the more reluctantly, as the
discourse is replete with sterling,
patriotic sentiments, and applicable
to the times in which we live. 1t is
to be hoped that the author, as well
as his numerous friends at whose
urgent solicitation the copy was fur
nished us, viii accept this as a suf-
ficient justification for our course.

NA new order has been issued

EA new order has been issued,
by the President, calling for five hun
dred thousand men, to be raised by
draft on the 10th of March next
This addition to the last call, has been
made in order to gain the three hun
dree thousand then asked for, exclu-
sive Of the re-enlisted veterans, as il
was found that the crediting of them
on that call, was about to fill it up
without furnishing the required ac-
cession to the numerical strength o.
the array. It amounts to about ths
same as 1T would had we received nc
credit for the veterans, and been obi
ged to fill up the other call entirely
with new recruits. Credit will b
given for enlistnents up to the frs
of March; making the draft virtually
for two hundred thousand men, ant
as many more as may be defcien
when the period for filing the Octo
ber call is out.

NORTH CAROLINA AS A FREE
. ga g. STATE. iilit4 -

That North Carolina is destined
to take her place, sooner or later.
among the Free States of this Union
is foreshadowed with certainty
that will admit of no doubt.
Wherever the Federal Flag floats
in the Eastern part of the State,
Slavery has been utterly demolished.
Any attenptnow made to expose the
form of negro for sale within our
Military lines, would be looked upon
as an act of atrocity not to be tolera-
ted for q moment.
What is particularly gratifying
about this matter, is that numbers Of
native North Carolinians who have
lost their slaves by the stern logic
of events, seem to be entirely recon
ciled with the change. .
1t is very common remark among
them, that "they knew Slavery had
received its death blow the moment
they heard the National Flag had
been fired on at Fort SUMTER
They are not taken by surprise
Those of them whose patriotism and
love of Country ls stronger than
their love of Slavery, now seem
ready to welcome the fires of free
dom which have been kindled. The
change of sentiment with them al
though sudden, seems to be deep
seated and thorough They see
that the peculiar fustitu-
ton has fallen never t0 rise again,
and they look forward with new
hope and expectation to the fue
ture.
In view of these facts let us ask
what is the true line or policy for
these men to pursue in the future?-
1t seems to us that the way is clear,
and that every consideration of wis
dom should stimulate them to vigor-
GUS action in bringing North Caro-
lima back into the Union as Free
State as soon as possible.
Let the former non-slaveholder
who has given up slavery, now unite
heartily and cordially with those of
his own race who never owned a
slave in ridding the State, as far as
can be done, of every vestage of the
blighting and aecursed institu-
ton.
Who can calculate the vast bene-
fits which must inevitably flow in
upon North Carolina when she takes
the grand moral and social politi-
cal position which everything indi-
Gates she will do?

ARKANSAS.

Two reliable kilograms report that
the President has authorized General
Steele to order a Convention of The
loyal people of Arkansas to abolish
slavery and general election fol
the organization of the State under q
Governor and other executive off.
GERS. This intelligence announces
another State added to the Union
another great victory achieved fol
the Union The example of Arkan-
sas has its chief value in the assur-
ance which it gives that other States
of the South will follow it in the
same way. 1t will multiply itself
in effect, and secure to US in time
at least two redeemed and free States.
In fact, the examples of Arkansas
and Louisiana guarantee a future of
freedom to the whole South.

ish ofgents clothing is SO well known,
and admired by our citizens, has gone
into business on a new principle. and
one which we think win be an advan-
tage to his patrons. His connection
with our dry-goods stores, enables
him to make clothing to order at ex-
tremely low rates. He also gets up

SECESSION SECEDING.-The tooth
and-nail conscription act down South
is raising a rebellion" in North
Carolina. The papers will not hear
of it, neither will the people. Some
journals say, indeed, that the South
must lay down her arms unless the
measurs are agreed to. But these
journals are borne down by the as
sertions of a press which is beeom-
ing the almost unanimous voice Of
the people. North Carolina sees
through these last struggles of the
rebel Congress. She is asserting
herself in asserting the cause of the
Union. She understands the mean
ing of the wall which has gone forth
from the whole South, and is anxious
to return to the Union she once re
jected. Nor viii North Carolina be
alone. The secession from Secessia
which has been begun within her
borders will spread through all the
disafected States, and reunite them
to us once again.

re The effect of the rebellion

R The effect of the rebellion on
Southern colleges is well illustrated
by the case of the University OF
North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In
1860 it had 430 students; in 1863 but
63, nearly all of whom were too young
or physically incapacitated for ser,
vice. In 1860, "a young men grad
uated, Of whom one seventh are
known to have fallen in battle, OF
the eight who ranked highest in the
class four are in their graves, a fifth
is wounded prisoner and the others
are in the army. OF the Freshman
class of that year, so in number, only
one remained to graduate and even
he had been in the army and was dis
charged for bad health. Though
none of the fourteen members of the
Faculty were liable to 'con-scription,
five enlisted, one ofwhom was killed;
another has been taken prisoner, the
third was severely wounded and the
fourth has ruined constitution. Ev-
cry son capable of service, of the
remaining nine, eight in number en-
tered the service, and two of them
have been mortally wounded. Fif-
teen young men Of the village, being
more than half Of the whole, have
perished in battle.

FFTbe Goyernor of Kentncl

EEThe Governor of Kentucky
only deceives his people when he re-
fuses to allow the recruiting of free
colored men from that State. 1t is
very brave to say "we are ready to
fill our quota from the free white citi-
zens of Kentucky" but it is not
strictly rational. Let US suppose
that Kentucky does not volunteer its
quota The white people who do
not own slaves may then Judge
whether. Governor Bramlette is the
best friend of the people, or only an
ally of the shareholders.

JAIL DELIVERY AT ZANEsvILLE.--
The GAINESVILLE Courier says that all
the males confined in the jail at that
place took French leave of their
jailor on Saturday morning last
James Love an old jail-bird, by
some means picked the lock of his
own cell, and then released the other
prisoners, and together they sawed
off the bars of the window, and
then made good their escape. The
following are the names of the
criminals at large, together with the
crimes for which they were commit
mitted: James Jenkins, for the
murder of Francis Mullen a few
months ago; James Love for lar
ceny; John Smith, for burglary and
house breaking; VIM. M. Joseph
and Hiram Joseph, for stealing wool.
Up to Saturday afternoon none of
them had been re-arrested.

NThe Copperheads are now try
ing to get up church in which there
is to be no religion. Edison B. Olds
is the leader, and Sam. Medary is
an indorser, ifnot pillar. There
seems to be difficulty about preach
ers, only one person pure enough to
dispense the new gospel, having
thus far been found in Ohio. He
was excused from duty in the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church for alleged
disloyalty. A meeting of this ew
Church party was recently held at
Lancaster, and correspondent fur
nishes very good report of the pr o.
ceedings. 1t viii be observed that
the leaders are as destitute of piety
as they are of loyalty.

S The total number of men en-
listed in the Union army in Tennessee
since the commencement of the re-
bellion, is 1850. We take it, that
is the strongest kind of evidence OF
the loyalty of many people in that
State, yet Copperheads would have
these loyal Tennesseeans surrender
ed to the mercy of the rebels of that
State.

number of persons, on Saturday last,
at the launch of the new Gallipolis
and Pomeroy Packet, Lizzie C. Ham
ilton.
She took to the water as if she knew
it to be henceforth, her element; no
thing occurring save the parting of a
hog chain, a matter Of small impor-
tance. She is owned by our enterpri-
sing friend and townsman, Jonathon
Hamilton, who is building her ex-
pressly for the Gallipolis and Pome-
roy trade. Her machinery is here,
ready to go aboard; and everything is
being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. He intends to have her run
ming on the first day of March. She
bids fair to be a staunch craft, with
good power; just the thing for her
trade. We wish her success.
This is the second boat Gallipolis
