The Death OF Howard Forrer

The Death Of Howard FOFrer.
The Journal this morning contains the sad
intelligence Of the death Of this brave aud
distinguished youth He was killed at At.
lanta in ibe action Of July ga be was Ad.
jutant Of the SD Ohio Regiment and fell in
the brave aud fearless discharge of bis duty
as a soldier
The eomely appearance and estimabe
qualities Of this noble young man will long
remain vivid IA the recollection Of those who
knew him. The loss Of such son to parents,
who looked with the foudest hope to future
career OF prosperity and usefulnes that should
be the solace and the pride Of tbeiv own De.
cling years, is indeed irteparable There can
be no earthly compensation to them for
calamity so distressing. SO pure, SO amiable,
so good, and wilhal SO spirited, intelligent and
noble hearted even the language Of eulogy
is vainly employed to depict character that
gave so much giound of future excellence.
Alas how lcng will mistaken human Judy
meut inspired by deusive hopes, permit this
desolatiug war to bring the yeled image Of
grief into our domestic circles, to take the
places OF the loved and lost how long until
the viudictive passions of men will yield to
the divine influences of that holy spirit, which
more than eighteen hundred years ago pro.
claimed to the world the glad tidings Of
" Peace on earth and good ioiH to men p In
what can civilization boast over barSarlsm in
what the religion OF Christ over healhensm,
when among people in whom civilization
has reached its highest development and lht
religion an almost undisputed sway, miliors
of its best and bravest sous are ruthlessly sn-
riGced in war, cities burned, homes piIagtd,
the fruits of industry, the monuments of taAe,
the works OF private enterprise ard public
utility, mingled together 10 me unsigltly
mass Of Qhastly ruin.
Is it not time for intelligent and humane
people to ask themselves whether there is not
some other solution for the troubles that af.
fiiet as, than this distressing war Have we
, not yet been sufficiently chastened by attic
? tion, made wise BY experience, or reasonable
J by suffering, that we can address ourselves to
the great task Of adjusting as rational beings
those conflicting interests which the states
msnship Of our ancestors found no bar to the
security of domestic peace and the establish
ment Of public liberty

The situation.

The situation is by no means encorag- |
ing. All the lying of the telegraph and
the Misrepresentation Of reckless news
papers cannot hide the fact, nor cast q ray
Of hope over the dark prospect.
SHERMAN in acting upon the defensive,
barely able to hold his entrenched posi-
ton, after severe defeat in which he lost
over 20 pieces of artillery.
GRANT has met with another overwhel-
ing repulse, one Of the most disastrous of
the war. He has been crippled so badly
as to be probably on the defensive.
In Missouri the State militia seem to
be going over bodily to the enemy, after
having been armed by the Federal Gov
ernment, and the whole State is in blaze
of excitement and rebellion
In Pennsylvania rebel cavalrymen are
raiding at their pleasure, burning and
destroying, when the required ransom is
not paid. The fords of the Susquehana
are being fortified as if the enemy wat
expected there and an effort is being
made to call McCLELLAs to the defense'
at Washington--a clear proof that affair
are regarded as desperate in that quarter
Yet when this campaign opened GRAN7

with, and slaughtered them by the thou
sand by way of pAstime. SHERMAN haC

few people in the North had any concep
ton of. Both had magnificent armies
the veterans of three years service anC
whenever the need existed were reinforce'
to the extent of their demand. Yet Sc,
the result.
What is the conclusion which ever!
sensible man draws from these facts w
can be of but one mind. This war shoulc
not be continued another day. The de
mand of the people should go up for i'm
mediate peace. They should compel peac

The Awful RepuIse at peters,
burg

Aswe inferred from the mesgerness Of
yesterdays dispatches, as well as from
certain mysterious outgivings of leading
Republican presses. the Federal forces
have met with an awful disaster--one Of
the bloodiest OF this bloody wsr--in their
late desperate assault on the defences Of
Petersburg. Last nights dispatches give
us the shocking particulars. The mine
was exploded with what seem to have
been satisfactory results, and division Of
colored troops, commanded by General
WmTE, was pushed forward to carry the
crest of hill, which, il successfully ac-
complished, would have made the victory
for the Federals decisive. But the result
was otherwise. A deadly and 2verwhelm-
ing fire moved down the assailsnts by
hundreds, and they recoiled in disorder
aud confusion. The day was lost and
notwithstanding the auspicious beginning
Of this latest assault on Petersburg, its
conclusion left the Federal cause in a
more hopeless condition than ever.

From The Delaware to) Standard
pAMNABLE OUTRAGE.

On Saturday morning last, one of those
damnable outrages which the goddess admin
istraton Of Abe Lincoln has instituted, was
enacted in our town. Some months since u
former citizen of Chillicothe, in this State re-
moved to this place with his family, purchased
a small property, and got employment at one
Of the fax mills, and 10 all appearance was
comfortably fixed, when a guard of soldiers
arrested him, on the plea that he had been
conscripted at his former place Of residence
and had not reporIed--be alleged that he
knew nothing Of it, never having received no
tice Of the fact This evailed him nothing
for he was at once placed in irons by those
clothed with authority by the present despotic
administration, which places its iron heel on
the poor men Of the North, in order 10 carry
out its cherished purpose
The same guard also arrested a colored
man, under similar circumstances-he had
settled here with his tamiy-but some weeks
since he was conscripted at CircleVllle, his
former place of residence
The guards haudceffed the white and col
ored man together, and left with the express
train. Oh, how demoralized have our people
become through this war-but few years age
the party enacting these scenes and a certain
class Of preachers denounced, and in manJ
instances, raised IN arms 10 rescue colOreC
men arrested and thus manacled, under tn,
fugitive slave law--but now these same mer
can see white and colored meu dragged from
their families aud friends under QUE of The
most despotic acts known to the civilized
world, aud BY their actions applaud these out
RACES.
What has become of the milk of humal
kindness with which The party now in power
and the class Of now Goddess preachers Ia,
J betrayed by their acts) was then possessed Il
overAowlng2 So long as the people will tame
ly suffer these things to exist these scenes viii
constantly tFanspire and still greater enormi
ties follow But, we behold change cominI
over many of those formerly allied with Lila
con's Administration, that will sweep hlr
and his despotic acts out Of existence, peaceG

E9-Several prominent administration
newspapers are lamentng the fact that Con.
federate bonds command nearly double the
price in English commercial circles of our
own government securities They profess to
find the solution in the ease and safety with
wieh our blockade is evaded. This may ac-
count for the high price Of cotton bonds, but
they will hardly make the people believe that
it will account for the low price of govern
ment bonds The Rip Van Winkle OF the
Navy Department has enough to answer for
blupders Of Secretary Chase and Mr. Lincoln;
without being held responsible for the sins and
Mr. Weles is not responsible fer the policies
which have created public disgust at home and
abroad, and flooded the country with paper
currency The English feel something of the

securities which has sent them down to such
ruinous rates at home Chicago Times
