FUTURE POLICY OF THE ADMINS
THATION.

Tho late speech Of General Butlor,
at New York, and the speech OF Sec
rotary Seward to scrcnading party
at Washington, arc thought to fore
shadow tho future p Icy Of the Ad-
ministration. General Butler said:
Are wo not in condition now, not
taking counse from our fears or from
our weakness, but of our strength and
magaanimity, again to make such OF
iars of peace and amity, in tho most
bcneficent terms, but for the last
timer ...
Then if the rebels will not return
after this third call, lie is in favor Of
sharp, quick, decisive war" sweeping
the rebels from the face of the country,
and dividing their lands among tho
Union soldiers. Tho speech Of Sccre.
tary Seward, advocated concilatory
spirit and policy, ard presumed "that
four years hence, VIC will be in perfect
harmony, not only throughout the frct
States, but in the whole Union
These cnuneia,ions are thought Il
foreshadow tho views end also thu
purposes Of Mr, Lincoln, and it is ru
morcd that tho President designs
bci6rc long, issuing proclamation t.
the rebels, inviting them to return.
In ourjudgmcnt the government la
issued II sufficient number Of procla
nations inviting tho rebels to return
and wo doubt whether Mr.. l.incol
has any such intention as rumor say
The loyal people know, nd tho. rcbc
know, tho policy Of the Administr'

that wise decree, summing up in te
strong, condensed and weighty line
tho whole object Of the war and I'll
whole demand of the people OF IL
United States, we feel certain tho A,
ministration will not depart. Thi
We think. is the future policy Of Il

Ishereby given to the Trustees Of the several
Townships OF Seneca county, that the law
passed by the Legislature of Ohm, at its last
session, authorizing the Commissioner. of
counties, the Trustees Of townships, and the
City Councils OF the several cities of this
State. TO pay bounties and refund al MONIES
paid or secured To be paid, for bounty pur.
poses, having produced some confusion in
making levies for bounties and for the
adjustment of claims: and many Of the
Boards OF Township Trustees having made
leyies covering the entire amount of monies
paid or subscribed as buunties in their
respective townships; and having acted
independently of any levy which might be
made by the County Commissioners, and,
having, TO some extent, superseded the
necessity Of levy by said Commissioners
in those townships, IL is suggested by tn.
Commissioners Of said county, that the
Trustees Of each township, having offered
or paid bounty, make levy to cover all
bounties paid or pledged in their respective
townships. This method is suggested to
prevent the complications which must
necessarily ensue In rase conflicting levies
are made by the county and township
Boards. u, however, the Trustees of those
townships wherein levies have not yet been
made, do not report to the Commissioners
by the 9th day Of June next, their action In
the MISTER, the Board Of Commissioners
viii exercise their discretionary power in
the premises.

Herald in the Sth Ohio, in his letter
accompanying the list of casualties III
the regiment, thus speaks Of the regiment
itself and the spirit of the few survivors
who will soon DO discharged from the
service by the expiration OF their term
Of enlistment;
This has been fiery ordeal Tor our
brave soldiers, yet they have noby en-.
dured every priyation, hardship and dan-
ger which has been asked of them, only
too glad to afford the country this token
Of their patriotism.
The old Eighth Ohio Volunteers have
been among this patriotic baud, and
being one Of the few representatives
from the Buckeye State in this army,
have most zeolously labored for the
glory Of our mother State, as that OF
our dear old Union. need not here
rehearse its history. for | am sure every
patriot in Ohio is familiar with it's record,
ard will ever speak proudly Of its gall

it's whole duty with alacri,y and unflinch-
ing devotion to the interest of our CON-
mon country. II has suffered, and thet
very, very severely, to which sad truth
our thinned ranks, tatiered oolors and
battle SCARED veterans will fully attest.
A few more days and our term Of ser.
vice will expire; but handful will re-
turn to repeat the story of onr battles, TO
tell you of our hardships,, privatioas,
dangers aud heartaches, or amuse you
with accounts Of camp life aud field in-
