MObing Of Democratic Print
Ing Offices.

The Office of the Mahoning Sentinel, at
Youngstown, (ToD's place of residence),
was destroyed, on last Friday night, by
mob that had been drunk for that purpose
by Abolition leaders. The assassination of
the editor was also attempted. 1t is under
stood that the mob was instigated by lead
ing 'loyalists, who wanted to prevent the
publication of Attorney General Critch-
field $ recent letter on Tod, which we have
given the readers of the Statesman. The
Sentinel was formerly Tod's home organ,
but refused to sell out to. the Abolitionists
when he did.
The Ohio Eagle, at Lancaster, has also
been mobbed.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Tuesday
says; =, -. .,
some drunken soldiers to destroy the office
Of the Lancaster Eagle, a Democratic iourn-
AL A serious riot occun cd The Demo-
Gratis rallied, and in retaliation gutted the
houses of two Abolition leaders, who were
held responsible for it"
Leading ''loyalsts" seem to be making
systematic efforts to inaugurate civil war
in Ohio. We deprecate this state of things.
Our readers will bear us witness, that we
have ever condemned mobs and mob vio-
lence and that we have constantly labored
to nculcate obedience to law, and to pre-
serve order If, however, leading men and
leading Journals of the Administration
party will persist in instigating mobs for the
purpose of destroying the property of Dem
ocrats, Democrats in turn, will retalate. -
They will adopt ler ta1ionis. There will be
nosuch thing as preventing it, and there
,ciU be no disposition to preUem u.-,States-
man.

Magnitude OF the Rebellion.

"For want of reserves, they have never
been able to follow up II success; hence,
none of their victories have been decisive. 4"
~ Y Times.
The above assertion in regard to the reb-
els may provoke the inquiry as to when the
Fedcrals ever had reserves to follow up a
victory? The Times argues a speedy sub
iugation of the rebellion from this fact -
From the existence of similar state OF
things on our side, we might, with equal
propriety, argue failure in the attempt to
conquer the South,
The fact is that when this rebellion COM
menced but one influential man apprecia-
ted its magnitude and the gigantic nature
of the efforts necessary to its subjugation.
That man was General Mcclellan Under
his management, the proper steps would
have been taken to crush out the outbreak
in the beginning He proposed to put an
enormous army into the field, drill it, and
then, at given time, assault the Confed-
eracy in every direction, with a sufficient
| force of reserves to follow up success In
any quarter.
The Administration did not understand
the size Of the rebellion; hence 1t called out
few men, sent them into the field to be
slaughtered; then called for a few more,
distributed them in the graveyards OF Fred
ericksburg and Bull Run; called again a few
more, sent them to the same death; and all
the time announced IA succession of victo
res and the close approach Of the submis'
sion of the rebelous Contederates
Had we statesmen, instead of fanatica
politicians, at Washington, we should a
the beginning, had. there been war at all
had proper force called out and aftel
awhile had the whole tremendous force o
the North precpie,ted at once upon the
Confsderacy. Instead of that, officials have
been engaged in pmndering the people

to keep up the pretcnce of war, have beer

Majesty Of Law.

Frederick the Great, century ago, wish
ed to enlarge his possessions and palace.
A certain mill obscured the view, and he
offered the Prussim a fair price for it. He
refused to sell it because it was a personal
estate. Frederick then ordered the mill to
be torn down, which was DONE The miller
stood calmly by, saying he would abide by
the law. He must obey his sovereign, but
the law did not compel him to sell his mill.
He appealed to the courts and the courts
decided that Frederick should re-build the
mill This he cheerflilly did, thanking God
he had courts not influenced by imperial fa'
vor Twenty years ago the present owner
of the mill became involved, and offered tc
sell it to .Eyederick William, the successor
of Frederick the Great. The sovereign re-
fused to buy, but freely gave him $4,000
saying that the mill should stand as mon
ument to the triumph of law, and Prussii
stands to day as constant monument to thu
majesty of law. 1t is not beneath the dig
nifty Of even an Emperor to be submissive
To law.

A story Of the Battle of Perry
willie.

The Louisville journal says that an En-
glish officer, Col. Freemantle, who served
for some time in the rebel army, and lived
long enough in the South to make the ac-
quaintance of number of the prominent
men there, has recently published book
relating his experience, in which, he tells
the following story, as it was told him by
the Right Reverend Bishop Lieutenant
General Polk. We strongly suspect that
Col. Freemantle enlarges the story he heard,
or what is more probable, that the military
prelate lied, as no Indiana officer engaged
in the battle of Perryville ever reported Off
cially or otherwise any occurrence that sup
ports it, The Bishop says.
'Well, sir, it was at the battle of Per-
ryville, late in the eycning--in fact it was
almost dark when LindelPs Battery came
into action. Shortly after the arrival, | ob,
served a body of men, whom thought tc
be Confederates, standing at an angle tc
newly arrived troops. | said, Dear me
this is very sad and must be stopped Sc

myself and settle the matter. Having can

he meant by shooting his own friends.
He answered with surprise, don

"Enemyu' | said, "why, l have onl

The Lords PRAYER.

A friend tells an anecdote of Booth the
great tragedian, which we do not recollect
to have seen in print. Mr.. Booth and sew
eral friends had been invited to dine with an
old gentleman in Baltimore, Of distinguish
ed Kindness, urbanity and piety The host
though disappearing of the theatres and
theatre going, had heard SO much ofBooth's
remarkable powers that curiosity to see the
man had, in this instance, overcome all
scruples and prejudices. After the enter
tainment was over lamps lighted and the
company re-seated in the drawing room,
some one requested Booth, as particular
favor, and one which all present doubtless
appreciated, to read aloud. the Lords
Prayer.
Booth expressed his ready willingness to
afford this qualification, and all the eyes
were turned expectantly upon him. Booth
rose slowly and reverently from his chair.
1t was wonderful to watch the play Of emo
became deathly pale, and his eyes, turned
As yet he had not spoken. The silence
could be felt. 1t became absolutely painful,
until at last the spell was broken as if by an
electric shock, as his rich-toned voice, from
white lips, syllabled forth, Our Father,
who art in Heaven" &C., with n pathos and
tervid solemnity that thrilled all hearts. -
He finished. The silence continued. Not
voice was heard or muscle moved in the
wrapt audience, until from remote corner
of the room Il subdued sob was heard and
the old gentleman (their host) stepped for
ward with streaming eyes and tottering
frame, and seized Booth by the hand
Sir" said he in broken accent, you
have afforded me pleasure for which my
whole future life will feel grateful. l am an
old man, and every day from boyhood to
the present time, thought had repeated
the Lords Prayer, but have never heard
it before, NEVER !"
"You are right, replied Booth; to read
that prayer as it should be read, has caused
me the scyerest study and labor for thirty
years, and | am far from being yet satisfied
with my rendering of that wonderful pro-
duction Hardly one person in ten thou
sand comprehends how much beauty, ten
derncss, and grandeur can be condensed in
space so small and words so simple. That
prayer itself sufficiently illustrates the truth
of the Bible, and thus stamps upon it the
seal of Divinity
So great was the effect produced (says our
informant, who was present) that converse
ton was continued but short time longer
in monosylables, and almost entirely oeas-
ed and soon after, at an early hour, the
company broke up and retired to their sew
eral homes with sad faces and full hearts

The Late Gen. LytIe.

A correspodont writes to the E2ston
Courier. Il cannot refrain from i,aing
you the following bit, an extract from a pri-
vate letter received from relatiye of the
late VIM. III. Lytle, of Cincinnati 1t will
speak for itself;
Cousin viii S sisters were much affected
by the kindness with which his remains
were treated by the Conttderates. A Con
tederate Surgeon, who identified him, cut
of q some of his hair to send to his sister, :

cofn was sent for the body placed it tender

hisface first with green leaves, then with lace
net and find cambria handkerchief. lii,
remains were escorted to the lines by six
teen Confederate officers, none under the
rank of Colonel. "

EXpumging a Protest!

Everybody who has watched the proceed
ings Of the Legislature, knows that the
Senate disposed of the Ashland contested
election case with indecent haste, when Mr..
Kenny was voted out of his seat; and that
the House proceeded with still more indie
cent haste in the case of Mr. Larwill, as
well as in that of Mr. Mafett Awaiting
themselves Of their constitutional right, the
Democratic members of the House protest
ed against the action Of that body in the
Ashland case, on account Of the indecent
haste with which it was disposed of, as well
as for other reasons; and had their PROTEST
entered upon the journal.
This PROTEST contains truths the record
of which the majority is unwilling to per-
petuate. So Mr.. Stanton, of Hamilton,
who has done that kind of work before,
was put forward, on Thursday p. NJ, to
offer preamble and resolution, directing
the Clerk to expunge the PROTEST! There
upon, a discussion was had which occupied
the whole afternoon. The Democratic
members did themselves great credit in this
debate, driving the Republican members
completely to the wall: Messrs DREsEL,
MAYO, BRATToN, OLDs, and UHI, spoke
most ably and effectively for the Con-
stitution and the Right; and Messrs. Della
no, Allison, and Stanton, spoke for the ma
.iority, in favor of disregarding and tramp
ling upon constitutional right belonging to
the minority.
The 10th section Of the I'd Article of the
Constitution of Ohio reads as follows:
Any member of either House shall have
the right to protest against any act or reso-
luton thereof; and such protest, and the
reasons therefor, shall, without alteration,
commitment, or delay, be entered upon the
Journal"
We are unable to see how any member
who sworc to support the Constitution, can
vote to expunge PROTEST! We shall see
what will be done. Statesman.

MORE BURDENS ON THE WEST.

A few loyal western governors. now IN
Washington have got Uncle Abe to call
for .00, 900 volunteers from the west, fer
100 days. to Go guard aud garrison duty,
while the veteran regiments 50 te the
front and put down the rebellion 1t
would be happy thing. indeed, If the
rebellion could be put d0wn-bus We don
see the propriety Of laying this heavy bur-
den upon the west, when the west IS al.
ready ahead on her quota, and the east
largely behind. Illinois. for instance, has
already sent some II 900 more men to the
field than she was required tbs this q
reason why she should be nscessitated to
furnish some fifty or sixty thousand mill
tia? Massachusetts,, engaged Ia the in
terests of God and humanity, in driving
4 thriving trade in the var, in kidnapping
Irishmen for her quota, and in keeping g
up the supply of school marms to Hilton
Head, has been so busy that she has
failed to fill her quota,-is 1t for this
reason she is to be excused?
The western states arc engaged Ia agri-
culture, the only legitimate branch OF in
dustry now in operation; New England Is
engaged in shoddy contracts, stock ana
gold speculation; hence men can be
! spared better from New England than
| from the northwest
The northwest has furnished more than
its share Of troops, has won nearly all the
victories, has sustainad nearly all the los
ses, while. it has beea prsyed upon from
the beginning by eastern speculato's and
nom producers. Therefore. We protest
against placing any moro burdens upon
the northwest, until tho east furnishes Its
share of nen Let US have out the nili.
tia of New England, if any is needed.
