EINDLAY, March 9th. 1864

ED. JEFF:-Dear Sir-There seems
to be an opinion entertained by the
citizens of this county, that the DIST
regiment has been sold to the credit
OF other counties, and that too, by lis
noble Colonel.
Permit me to say, as one that
knows, that such is not the case
Col. Neibling never for one moment
even meditated the idea, much less
engaged in it. That noble spirit OF
his, that SO nobly bore itself upon the
bloody field of Stone River, would
disdain the idea now to sell the brave
boys that fought by his side, and rem
dercd his name famous (as it now is
among the brave and loyal soldiers
of rhe army of the Cumberland.
About twenty or twenty-five veter-
ans were not present with the regi-
ment at Chattanooga, to he mustered
into the veteran service, but, upon
arriving at Columbus, an opportuni-
ty presented itself, and they were
mustered in and assigned to the
counties paving the largest local
bounties. The men making their
own choice, and counting their own
money, which was from $50 to $40.
From this you will see that Colonel
Neibling had nothing at all to do
with the matter 1t was merely a
matter of choice with the men wheth-
er they were assigned al all or not.
But where will you find man that
will foolishly throw away S170.-
They are scarce, remarkably so, where
they have been in the service over
two years
As to the 2lst being sold, nothing
of it is true. The rolls still remain
at Washington with no assignments
upon them at all. 1t now only re-
mains for the people of this county
to procure some step to have the
proper assignments made. and the
loyal people of Hancock will be free
from the pending draft.

"' ~ W 'uops
We are happy to state that there is
a fair prospect of the success of this
project. The citizens generally arc
taking hold of il in earnest, and we
understand about one-talf of tile
amount necessary to commence build
ing, has been already pledged.
1t needs now, TO make it a success,
one vigorous united effort on the
part of those intercsted-and that in
cludes the entire town, and we might
say the county. Shall that effort be
made? There is not foot of land
within fifteen miles of the Court
House, but would be enhanced in
value; there is not an occupation of
any kind but would be directly bene-
fitted.
The county is paying yearly enor-
nous sums for Implements brought
from abroad, every one of which cod
be made cheaper and better hore.-
Every dollar paid for them above the
cost Of manufacture, is q dollar sub
tracted from The wealth of the coun-
ty.
We can have scventy-ilve men at
work next Summer if we will. Shall
it be done2 Let every property own
or look at this thing in its proper
light, and give this laudable enter.

Rebel Clergy.
Mn. EDITou;--The professed min
istcrs Of the Gospel, in the Southern
churches. are treachcrous to the re-
ligion they profess TO reverence
Southern fanaticism has assumed the
form of Christianity; and polygamv
and adultery have vauntingly claimed
the protection and sanction of God.
The rebel preachers have been more
bitter, unrelenting, malicious than
even Southern sympathizcrs. They
refuse obedience to the Government
to which they owe allegiance.
The rebel clergy have been pro-
ductive of mischief, violence and
crime in the South. They have aid
ed in the work of devastating the
country; they have contributed to
Gil the land with mourning: they have
caused tears of tens of thousands OF
widows to flow: they have done their
full part in banding down to posteri-
tv an army of orphan children: they
have aided materially in filing thous-
ands of graves with the best citizens
of the country, North and South; and
fearful to relate, they have mainly
contributed to send thousands to He'll,
who might have been redeemed by
the blood of Christ, but for this war.
We can never hear those base hypo-
critics preach, If we can get beyond
the sound of their hateful voices.

Persons wishing to assist in the
Machine Shop enterprise, can find
books at the all stores in town. The
farming community are especially in
terestcd in this movement, and should
give it liberal support. The advan-
tages Of such an establishment in an
agricultural county like Hancock are
obvious. The more manufactures
the greater the population-the bet
ter the market, and the more valua-
ble is real estate. Farms i'm the vi

and Daniel McCrory, soldier of the
49th Regiment, in which the latter
received three stabs with knife, one
in the head, one in the breast and
one on the shoulder, none of them
proving dangerous. A warrant was
issued for Wood, who was arrested
in this place ON Thursday last, and
taken back to Fostoria.

A Hint TO Farmers.

The following hint, published far
ther West. is just as applicable here.
There are three things easily raised
and harvested, for which, the farmers
may depend upon it. there will be an
enormous demand and high prices
paid during the war. We refer to
potatoes, beans and onions. The
farmers could not do a better thing
for themselves and their country than
TO plant these vegetables very exten-
siveiy. If it appears, as the Spring
advances, that the wheat crop is like
iy to be shcrt, and that fruit will be
scarce, onions, potatoes and beans
must be had to fill the vacuum.

the rebels to obtain munitions Of war in
Canada, and bring them across the lines 10 be

about to be efectually checked.
Whereas, the Governor 10 council has deemed n sxps
dent that the expectation aud the carrying

Now hersore know ys that do, By and with the ad-

II was certainly quite time for this order to

evidence OF the convictions OF the Canadian
authorities that II will no longer be safe or
judicious to allow our frontier towns TO be
assailed from . neigbboring province, which
processes amity, or to furnish tho means by
which robber raiders are enabled TO destroy
American life and property. We hear, on very
good authority, that the St. Albans depredators
will in due time be delivered up 10 meet

THE CHARTER ELEcrroN.-The election on
Tuesday passed off very quietly. There was
but single row 10 the whole city. Our cit
zens appeared to agree to stay away from the
polls. Not afty thousand votes were polled
against one hundred and ton thousand In No
vember. This shows that, although We are in.
terested In Presidential election, We care
nothing for our family affairs, which cost us
fifteen millions Of dollars per annum. The
Citizens Association elected only two Of ih
candidates. In most wards the only use Of this
association was to divide the respectable votss
and elect the machine candidates. II will be
our own fault II We suffer from iaogsassd M.
nioipal taxation this ysas.
