RATHER F1sHY.-A party, guests Of Mr..
Josiah Campbell, made fishing excursion to
Echo Pond, n Charleston, on the morning of
June 7th, and took in less that thirty minutes
four lunge weighing respectively 26 ga lbs,
10 S-4 lbs, 2 l-2 lbs, and 10 los. The
party all had to help in taxing in the mon
ster fish, and enjoyed rich treat of fresh
lunge for breakfast.
If Mr., Campbell should ever "mske a
lunge" towards this office, we suggest to him
to pack it in ice. Such things should be
taken coolly. We think we can do it.
A pike weighing $50 pounds was recently
hauled out Of Whltingham pond. This is the
biggest thing of the kind ever known in Yer

Faith in that fish story would have to be
only little stronger If the weight had been
fixed at 1900 lbs We stick to the luuge yet
We guess it was not fish. bu: a man, nam

FROn WASHINGTON.

Mossrs. +. Wood, Pruyr, and KsbleAeisch
(dems) Of New York. have already spoken
against submitting to the people an amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting slavery
in the United States. This is conhrmatory
Of our fears. To be party man in these
times Is not to be patriot. but next neigh
Dor and friend to treason.
WoN'T TRUST THE PEoPLE.--It will be
observed that the resolution, submitting to
the people the constitutional amendment on
slavery, failed Of a two thirds vote in the
House-all the Democrats but four voting a.
gainst it. SO the copperhead Democracy re-
jects the principle Of Douglas, to permit the
people to settle the slavery question in their
own way. That was his proposition as to the
territories. and the present proposition only
extends it to the people Of the states in
constitutional way. Let it not be forgotten
that the democracy which opposes the Gov
ernmsnt also opposes The People.
As Joseph Bailey OF PeunsylvAnia, one Of
the four democrats who had the patriotism to
vote for the constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting slavery, was answering to his name
on that question, Alexander H. Coffroth also
OF Pennsylvania, violent copperhead, who
was passing at the time, laid his hand heavily
upon Mr.. Bailey's head and drew it down
over bis face, accompanying the action with
words abusive of Bailey's vote and unfit to be
printed. Mr.. Bailey, suddenly forgetting his
Quaker principles, seized CoGroth. who is
much the larger man, by the collar, drew his
head down and dealt him a powerful blow
under the ear, which sent him reeling against
the opposite desk. Mr. Cofroth then sub
sided.
Our old friend Bailey is not Quaker enough
to hurt him for fight when called for.
June 5, in the House, the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery was taken up,
and after long debate the question was taken
on the Senate joint resolution to abolish slav-
cry, which was rejected, the vote being "a to
65, and two-thirds being necessary.
Mr.. Ashley of o. changed his vote to thu
negative for the purpose Of moving recon
sideration hereafter
Mr.. Samuel Knox Of Missouri was sworn
in as a member from the ST. Loais district,
in place of Frank p. Blair.
The House then took up the Senate amend
ments to the internal revenue bill.
Mr.. Morrill, Of VT. said the committee Of
ways and means recommended concurrence in
S94 Of the Senate's amendments, and nom
concurrence in 242 of them
The amendment paying assistant assessors
81 instead Of SO so per day was concurred
in, and also the amendment giving collectors,
in full compensation for their own services
and that Of their deputies, salary of $500
per annum in addition to the commissions.

wool-growers must rely upon the American
market solely for the sale Of bis wool, and
the manufacturer must pay more for it than
for foreign woos. The adjustment must be
made unsel6shly, for if too hard terms are
imposed upon the manufacturer by the WOOL
grower. both fall together and it we're better
at once TO cut the Sleeps throats.
The next question to settle is how much,
II any, duty should be levied on the lowest
cost wool

The facts shown here are that our domes-
tic woods had not doubled in twenty years,
while the importation of foreign woods had
more than doubled. Our wooden manuiac-
lures in the same time had more than trebled, +,
and the importations of foreign woolens had
moro than quadrupled. This is far from cred
table TO US as great nation. The market
price Of wool has advanced recently about
six cents per pound, or for good fleece wool
to about eighty cents; but when reduced to
a specific standard by discounting the premi-
um on gold, now at about ninety per cent, 1t
brings the price down to less than il was at
the depressed period Of 1861, when, accord
ing to Mr.. Livermore's (Boston) tables, fine
wool was selling at forty-four cents per pound.
Under these circumstances the woolen manu-
fscturers should be the first to recognize, with
their business so extended, with the high
price OF cotton and the multiform fabIicks in
troduced for ladies' and genileman's summer
wear, and not likely soon to 20 out of FASH
ion, all requiring a very large stock of the
raw material, that their business might be
seriously embarrassed and imperied by check
ing the growth Of sheep in this country or
compelling the woul-growers to take the
prices for which wool can be produced on the
grassy but uncultivated plains of Russis,
South America, and Australia, or where they
slaughter bullocks for their hides and horses
for their tails. 1t is very clear that they will
not and cannot afford to do it in the north,
east, and middle States. IL follows that the

for enrolled men, or the towns, to furnish
substitutes from returned soldiers or aliens
not liable to enrolment; 10 which case the
enrolled men, for whom substitutes shall be
procured. will be exempted from enrolment
and draft just so long as the substitute is ex-

old enough to be enrolled. II draft is wait

enrolled men not drafted, the enrolment will

Again the sad note of grief minglcs
with the jubilant refrain of triumph,
for the bulletin of death has come, and
groups of sorrow are'constituted in our
midst.
A dispatch received from General
Sherman says, that in an engagement
Of Gen. McPherson's Corps with the
enemy near Dallas, Georgia. on last
Saturday, Major HENRY H. GIEsY was
mortally wounded, and died last Sun
day. Major GIEsY was too well and
favorably known here to require moro
than n brief notice Of him.
A young man Of excellent habits
and disposition he had been literally
educated and had been admitted to the
bar when the call came 10 arm against
the rebellion. He was q person OF
more than ordinary military spirit,
and from the organization of Captain
Cloud company in this city-some
two years before the war, he had been
one of its most active members. We
may here observe that nearly all the
members Of that company have been
made commissioned officers. Major G
was the Orderly Of that company when
it was ordered to report for the three
months service, under the call of the
President.
At Columbus lie was detailed to
raise another company in this county,
which he did in. a few days. He was
elected Captain Of the company BY the
unanimous vote Of its members. He
was with the 18th Reg't during its
three months organization, sharing its
fatiguing marches in West Virginia
Returning from that campaign, he i'm
mediatcIy commenced to raise a com.
pany for the three years scrvite, which
when done, he was assigned to the 4Gtl
Ohio. If VIC say that Major G. was
constantly on duty with his regiment
and as brave and faithful as any, Wt
need say nothing more, for tho hard
fighting and steady endurance of the
10th Reg.tell story to which nothing
can be added. lie was promoted tc
Major of the Reg. in the summer o
1863 The 4Gth became u veteran
regiment last winter, and the Major
was last at home when he enjoyed the
thirty days furlough in common with
his men. We understand that his re
saains are expected to-day. We are
1;glad to know that his body has beer
saved from rebel barbarity to honorec
burial among his friends.

This is all which has been subscri-

friends, and the boys of the First Ohio
subscribed for themselves to the

and the raising of this fund should not
be longer delayed. Let each man
