EDIroRs PIONEER DEAR SlRs:-The Jubilee
held last night in Capitol Square, in this City,
in honor our recent victories, was magnificent.
The display Of bontres, torchlight procession,
fireworks and music, was grand beyond descrip-
ton, and was only excelled by the earnestness
aud enthusiasm OF the vast multitude, assembled
to honor the victories of our noble soldiers in the
field, as well as to toreshadow the cruwning tri-
umph that awaits the loyal unionists Of our com
mon country at the ballot box this fall, if we
are true to ourselves.
Brief, yet pertinent and spirited addresses
We're made by Galloway-the ininatabe SAM
Cows Brough and Anderson, DR.. Dorsey and
Godman-the true patriot, Soldier and CHRIS
tlan, now Auditor Of State and the impres.
sion made upon all present was well calculated
to inspire confidence in the justice and ultimate
triumph of Republican principles. If half the
sacrifice and energy suffered and exerted by
oursolders in the field is applied in the pend
ing political campaign, we shall certainly a
chieve civil victory this fall over the common
enemies Of freedom, North and South, more stu
pendous in moral grandeur, and mighty in ef-
feet politically, socially, and religiously, than
any that has preceded it. Let the desponding
take courage and put on the harness for the con
flict, if they would share its honors. God is
with us and we SHALL NOT FAIL.
have not yet visited the Fair Grounds, but
am informed that preparations are being made
on grand scale, and that we may expect an
exhibition worthy of the State of Qhio---First
in Military Heroes,--second to none in patriot
ism and devotion to the Union, and unsurpassed
in resources, and industrial development age
considered. W.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS.

Until you read what the Atlanta "Register'
says respecting the results of the copartnership
between the Northern peace party and the Reb-
Ell armies. 1t says Of these peace men;
eve can gain nothing by denohncing them.
We may lobse much by presenting hostile
front to their peace movements. Live with
them under the same Government we never will,
but sn the meanwhile if they use the ballot box
against Mr. Lincoln, while we use the cartridge
box, each will be helper to the other, and both
cooperate in accomplishing the greatest work,
which the country and this continent have
witnessed"
This greatest work is to consist in Peace men
holding the Government down, While armed
Traitors cut its throat Look after these things
loyal Democrats. Be not deceived. ONE

Died.

In Marion, on the 9Th inst, Of Typhoid
Fever and Sore Throat, CoRA, only child
of George and Mary E. Crawford, aged 8
years, Z months and two days
Cora was born in Upper Sandusky, on
the 4th day Of February, 1856. She had
always enjoyed good health up to the time
she was seized with the disease that carried
her of. She was of a cheerful and happy
disposition, spending but few moments
of her short life in gloomy melancholy
She enjoyed life very much indeed, but
her enjoyments were characterized by in
nocente. Sic took no pleasure in any
thing wicked or mlschievous.
The sutferiugs she endured during her
sickness were severe in the extreme, She
was delirious for two or three days at the
commencement Of her sckness, but from
that time TO her death she had full contr.l
of her mind. She set an example of pa
tience under suffering from which the
grown night well learn. Not cry o:
groau, or complaint escaped from her lips.
He who took little children In HIS arms
and blessed them said to her "Come unto
me-" and though the path she was to tread
In going to Him was filled with bodily sui.
fering for her, yet she sweetly, calmly,
gently, heard aud obeyed His call and was
numbered with the Lambs Of His Fold.
$50 fades Summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when STORMS are oefi
So gently shifts the eye Of day.
So dies wave along the shore"
Our darling has gone from us and SHE
cannot come again, but we can 60 to heF,
and it is consoing to think that we have
one in Heaven to welcome us home. 1t IN
pleasant to think that she is not all dead.
but only asleep.
"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes 10 weep"
How hard it is to give her up none hut
parent who has lost a child can tell. How
much of Our future plans and hopes were
bonnd up in her no one can ever know.
"Nan proposes, God disposes" Though
it was like rending our heart strings to part
from her, vet we shall endeavor to bow
humbly and say, "Thy will, 0 God. be
done" "ltis well with the child" "The
Lord give,h and the Lord taketh away,
blessed be the name of the Lord" ."--Marion
