Serious Joke.

The Eaton (o,) Register is credibly in
formed that Mr.. Locke, the State Repre-
sentative from Darke County. was. on the
occasion Of the late draft, shown a sham
list of drafted men, in which his name
held prominent place. BE was treshing
wheat at the time, and sans ceremonie
dropped his fork and posted of to Greeu-
vile had all his upper frsnt teeth extract

chIeroRraphx Of GrantandL Lee.
From the Savannah Repnblicap.I /

From the Savannah RepublicsB.I
The correspondence between General
Lee and General Grant is now before ne,
and have been much struck by the hand
writing of these two ablest enerals the
war has brought forward on either side
General Lees handwriting is bold and
rather stiff, his letters being large, round,
and very distinct he bears heavily up
on the pen-probably a goose qu1l-and
abbreviates many Of his words as if writing
were labor to him The following is an
extract transcript of the first sentence in
his letter to General Grant:
GsneraL-I have read your letter Of
the 18th inst, sccompg copies Of letters
from Judge o uld Comm'r Of Exchange Of
Pris'rs on the part of the COnFate Ststes
6 the Aonb'l E NJ. Stanton Sec'y of War
1t. Col. Mulford asst. Comm'r OF Exc. of
the o States" ... EFeua.-a. i.
he does not, as you perceive, punctuate
closely; and nowhere in his letter does he
write out the word "snd,p but invariably
uses the abbreviation "&." And yet he
psuseS long TO dot all his s'i's " and cross
al his ats" All his letters are drawn
nearly straight up and down the paper ;
! in other words they are like himself,
round, full, bold, and upright inclining
neither to the right nor to the left, and
standing firmly on their base, as if they
! disdained sll assistance. They are so clear
! and precise, so round and welghty, and
distinct, that each letter reminds one Of 8
solid cannon ball. and each word of cius-
ter of grapeshot. General Grants hand
writing, on the contrary, though not SO
bold and distinct nor the letters 80 large
and round, and erect is, nevertheless, very
legible and very striking. It is full Of en-
ergy and action, and his letters all incline
: to the right, and follow one after another
with little space between them as if they
represented an equal number of his bri-
gades on a rapid march around Lees
right. Among chirogrsphers his hand
would be called q running hand The
words occupy much space from left to
right and still they are very clear and
legible- He pays more attention to pune
tuation than General Lee, abbreviates less
and is equally careful of his is an | is. Il
may be the work of Imagination, yet in
reading his letter L cannot but picture the
writer as a restless, nervous, energetic man,
full of fire and action, always in motion
and always in hurry.

Would it not be well for US. TO Pause
and Reflects

The New york J0u0HaL Of Commerce, IN
the course of some reflections upon Gov
ernor SEYMoUR's message, remarks:
ave ere unquestionably approaching
the crisis of our national history. From
the Presidential election, which is to oc
cur this fall, we shall, If conservative men
succeed, begin TO restore the glory and
the peace of the American Union; while,
if radical measures continue to remain IN
power, our downward course will be rapid
10 anarchy and ruin. We doub. whether
free institutions can possibly survive four
years more OF trial such as they have en-
dured under radical management, The
great truth brought out by Governor Sey-
mour, that there is bottom to the la
tional purse, and limit to the national
credit, is Of profound import. Shall the
plan of war and conquest, at the expense
OF other thousands of millions, continue
till we reach that imit?-till we pass it2
Will produce, caution, reason, never re-
sumo at Washington No one can doubt
that this nation is able to bear as great a
debt as any other nation in the world ;
but that does not imply that we can bear
any amount of debt, to the extent of thou
sands of millions. Let us not blind our
eyes and close cur ears to the decetiul
promises that the war is almost over. 1t
stretches away before us into years OF
darkness, fearful years TO free country.
The expenses of treasure and Of blood are
TO be enormous. We can carry our pres
ent debt without doubt. How much
more can we carryY This is the ques-
ton forcbly presented to the present
aspect of our national affairs. 1t does not
present itself, as radical mep will pretend
as question of abandoning the war fol
the Union. II is question of abandon
ing war for conquest and abolition, anc
resuming a war for the Union. Shall VIC
so back to original principles, or shall W.
plunge into chaos p
