LAST CALL FOR THE 7TH WARD.-The last
meeting of the citizens of this ward, on the
subject of the impending draft, will as usu-
al be held at Hettesheimer's Hall, on Satur-
day, the 9th inst. at RP. M.
At the last meeting it was unanimously
agreed that no commutation money will be
paid any person who may be drafted, unless
his full assessment of $4,000 be paid to the
Treasurer.
1t is useless, probably, to add that after
the most untiring activity and energy used
by some, our ward has failed to raise the
money necessary to fill its quota, through
the negligence and indifference of others
and that a draft for small number of mer
must be made, and that the above precau-
ton has been taken to protect those, who
have been willing to aid and assist, against
those who have not done SO.
leone out then, if you have any interest
in the matter, and attend to it.
BY order of the meeting.

FAILoN's sSrEREoPTIooN.- This great work
of art, we learn, win be shortly exhibited
in this city, presenting complete mirror
of the universe from the earliest times down
to the present day. This remarkable appa-
ratus, says cotemporary after having wit
messed its wonders, takes us on tour
through foreign lands, shows us all the
beautiful landscapes of the old world, visits
all Of the famous art galleries, gives us the
most wonderful representations of the great
masters of painting and statuary, exhibits
the grand old architecture of the past ages,
and brings us home again without the ex-
pense or annoyance of an actual tour. This
chemical marvel is not a panorama, a magic
lantern, or anything like what the eye has
ever beheld, but is an entire new and mirac-
ulous apparatus; realizing all the wonders
of the old wizards, and making the old fairy
legends realities.

Mr.. DIcKsoN's BENEFIr.-We hear tl.at
Mr.. James Dickson, the efficient Stage
Manager of the Atheneum, takes his first
benefit in Columbus, on Monday evening
next. Weknow of none more deserving of
a crowded house. Our citizens have met
him in nearly every position about Thea
ter--as Manager, Stage Manager, Treasurer,
and actor; and they have never had cause
to find fault with him in any capacity. In
business, and socially, he is always the gen
tleman. and as an actor, most versatile and
correct. We have often regretted that he
did not give us more opportunitiesof seeing
him upon the stage, for he is always excel
lent. Of course, he will present good bill,
and we trust he will meet with generous
response to his appeal.

"JEwELs FROM AN ANTI-LINCoLN CIRCU-
LAR."-Under the above heading, the Cleve-
land Leader (Lincoln Abolition) says an
other Circular has come into its possession,
''in which an attempt is made to undermine
popular confidence in Mr.. Lincoln in time
for the Convention of June 7th."
The Leader further says ''that the people
may see the malignity Of these [not "Cop-
perhead," bnt Chase] attacks" VT gives "Mr.
Chase's friends the benefit of the italicized
portions of the Circular" which it quotes
as follows: le tj atrh
"1he one term principle is part Of the
political faith Of the people. The people haze
lost all confidence in his ability to suppress
the rebellion and restore the Union"
"Vaciitation and indecision haze been The
real cause ,ohv our, aceH appointed armies haze
not succeeded in the destruction Of the rebel
hon." re-
"The cant about Honest Old Abe ,ods at frs,
amastng ii then became ridiculous, bat no,o il
is absolutely criminal"
The Leader adds that JEFF. Davis is spoken
Of in the Circular "as man Of fine pow
ers and compared with Mr.. Lincoln" Only
think, reader, of Chaseites comparing JEFF
Davis and Abe Lincoln. What will the
radical Lincolnites do about it?
