THE WAR.

We are constantly informed by the Alb
clifton leaders and press that the rebel
lion is on its last legs. We have been
thus told for the last three years. 1t has
been yelled a little louder or printed in a
little larger letters, generally, just before
elections. For the last three weeks the
assurance has been piled upon the people
ten fold stronger than ever. We had the
announcement of great successes by Grant
and the Beast, Of immense tfiumphs by
Sherman, and splendid victories by Sher-
idan and Farragut. But the battles in
which these victories were said to have
been attained came a little too long be
fore the election to suit the Abolition lie.
The truth begins to leak out The facte
are, as they now come to hand, that
Grant is retreating down the Peninsula
and at last accounts was at Seven Pines,
where the terrible battle was toueh hit IN
der Mcclellan. Butler, on Thursday
last, lost by capture two entire BrIgades'
probably 5000 men. Sheridan, in his en-
trenchments, Is every day expecting an
attack from the. rebels under Early. He
has gained several great victories, accord
ing to Abolition accounts, and yet he is
fortifying himself in the very place where
he commenced the fighting The Presi
dent says that the last news he has from
Sherman's army is that Sherman THINKS
he may be able to hold Atlanta, while
runaor says he has evacuated it, and is
leaving for Tennessee. All this looks
much as ifthe Rebellion were played out
The leaders of this uuholy crusade know
in their own hearts that neither four nor
forty years of war can succeed in carrying
out their diabolical plan of subjugating
or extermina,ing the South. But if you
want it continued, vote for Lincoln and
keep the thieves in power.

To the Democracy or Ashland
County.

democrats of Ashland County, are you
fully aroused to the importance of the
contest to be decided on next Tuesday :?
Never in the history of our country has
there been an election of SO great impor-
lance. The lives and liberties Of the
American people are involved in the issue.
The minicns of the LINCOLN despotism
are exerting every means within their
grasp to continue their tyTannical rule
IF they are successful, We can bid fare
we'll to al we hold dear as Amer~icansfree-
men,-our lives and our liberties will
be at the mercy of an inscriptions ty-
rant. BY elccting LINCOLN the people
will be justifying all his unconstitutional
and tyrannical acts, and he will be holder
in his usurpation, and it would not be
long before he would declare himself Die.
tator- Then we will be governed by a
rule more ~despotic than that of Morocco.
Freemen! shall this be done? We
hear you respond no, never, never, never!
Your offspring, God, country, humani-
ty, your all, calls upon you in tones of
thunder to arouse from you. lethargy and
drive back the wave of Despctisn and
corruption that is about to overthrow us.
Let every man put his shoulder to the
wheel and all will be veil. The time is
short. Let every Democrat work, work
zealously until the polls are closed on
next Tuesday. Strike for liberty before
the last chain is riveted that will e~nslavc
you forever. Be active, be vigilant, and
do your part of the great work of rescu
ing your bleeding country from the jaws
of Despotism. Ns

come. Farmers and mechanics, and in
fact all consumers who vote for Lincoln,
say by SO doing, that they are satisfied
with the immense burden of taxes that
his Administration has heaped upon their
shoulders,-tbat they are willing to have
n ore drafts and be dragged to the slaugh-
ter as beasts of the feld,-that they are
willing to see the American Republic fall
to satisfy infatuated Aboiitionists and
crazy divines. This is probably the last
chance for freemen to assert their rights
at the ballot box, and they should choose
carefully. The choice is before you
Abolitionism, war, drafts, murder, high
taxes and a dissolution Of the Union, on
one hand and Democracy, peace, prosper
ity, low taxes and Union on the other
Which will you have?

Next Tuesday.

"a 3 ~ LL-4ArIEE- E+H2 81
Next Tuesday is to decide the great
question whether free government is a
failure or not, in the United States. The
interests involved are Of more moment
than any ever presented before the Amer
lean people to pass upon. Every one has
a duty to perform and any deriliction of
that duty will be alike criminal towards
the living as well as those who are yet
unborn. You are called on to say by
your ballot whether you are willing to
continue four years more, the anarchy,
robbery and murder which have cursed
our and under Abolition rule during the
last four years. Every living man IN
derstands the issue, and cannot vote
wrongly through a misapprehension of
facts. The experience of the last four
years is sufficient evidence to settle the
question as to whether Abolition rule will
not forever ruin US as a nation. Every
man then, votes with his eyes open on
next Tuesday, knowing that if he casts
his ballot for. Abolitionism he endorses
all its treason, %usurpation and murder
during the last four years and invites a
repetition Of the same in a more aggra-
waited form for the next four years to

A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

We desire to. say a few words to the
conservative Republicans of Ashland
County, before 6ey cast their ballots on
next Tuesday, -Four years ago when Mr..
LINCOLN was elected President, our coun-
try was united, prosperous and happy
The roar of the cannon and the tread OF
m~arshaling hosts were not heard in our
borders there was not VIC eping and
mourning throughout the length and
breadth of the land-widows and or
phans were not weeping and wailiug over
the loss of dear ones slain on the CORY
fields of battle; our taxes were low !; our
National debt was comparatively nothing
-all was peace and prosperity. We
have had Republican rule for over three
yeals, and what is the condition of affairs
to day? War. with all its concomitant
train of evils, is upon US ;7men by the
hundreds of thousands have beenltaken
from their peaceful homes and slain. upon
the many battle fields of the South /; III
land is, filled with widows and orphans,
whose plaintiye cries rend the very air
of heaven taxes are enormously high /;
our National debt is over $4,000, 0O0, 600,
and the nation is lettering on the verge
of destruction. All these calamities were
brought upon US by the election Of Mr..
IyNNnTN and If ha 10. ro+oJo-kl .Laao
things will be continued four years longer
Do our Republican friends desire this :.
Do they want to be taxed until the South
"~abandons slavery" If not, there is
but one way to prevent it, and that is in
the defeat of Dir. LINCOLN. It is. OBJ
vious why the Office holders and Shoddy-
ties support Mr., LINCOLN, but we cannot
understand why the honest masses de,
who desire the restoration Of the URion.
They certainly knowthatit isnot Mr. LIN
coins intention to restore the Union
that be is prosecuting the war for the
sole purpose of liberating the Southern
peoples slaves. Then why do they cling
to their party? Why not break their
party shackl,s and vote for Gen. MoCLEL-
Ian, who will, if elected, restore the
Union without any mere bloodshed. We
would ask our Republican friends to lie
member how we prospered end became
a mighty nation under Democratic rule,
and then look at the deplorable condition
we are now in usder the rule of Mr. LIN
COLIN Fepublicaus,-we mean the hon
est ones,-consider your W interests
well, vote the Democratic ticket, and
posterity will bless you for it. 5,1

WORK.

Let every Democrat in Ashland Coun-
ty do his duty on next Tuesday. Go to
the polls early and remain all day-see
that the Abo,itionists do not perpetrate
any frauds. Watch them with a vigilant
eye. There is nothing too contemplate
that they will not resort to, In order to
carry the election. If every lover of his
country will do his duty, we will hurl old
Abe from tie place he has disgraced and
restore peace to u land. Democrats,
"work, while it is yet-day," and vic
tory will perch upon your banner.

THE LATEST

Under the Soldier voting law of New
York soldiers send their ballots to some
friend, who, on the day of the election
dspositsthe vote at the proper precinct.
In accordance also with the Law, commits
sioners were appointed to 60 to the army
and get these votes. Democrats were APP
pointed to get the Mcclellan votes and
Abolitionists to get the Lincoln votes
When most of the votes had been thus
gathered it was discovered by some of
Lincoln's hired officials that avery large
majority of them were for Mcclellan
Immediately the Administration puppies
yelled fraud, fraud, and orders we're at
once sent to arrest all the Democratic
Commissioners, and sieze the returns with
them. This has been done and the bal
lots are now in the hands of Lincoln's
officials where they will either be destroy
ed or changed. The faud charged is
that these Democratic Commissioners
changed votes while in their possession
from Lincoln to Mcclellan. The charge.
proves itself to be 8 lisupon the face of
it. The Democratic Commissioners had
none but Mcclellan votes. The Lincoln
votes were in the hands of the Abolition
agents. Again, even suppose there might
have been fraud, this is not the legal
manner of trying the question. That
could only come up before the Judges of
election when the votes would be offered,
or afterward upon contesting the election,
and Lincoln's puppy minions have no bu-
.siness with it til the most wicked, rev.
dictionary and outrageous of all Lincoln's
crimes. If he claims the. form of cleo
ton by such infamous proceedings as
this, we hope and we believe the Ameri-
can people wSthot submit to it. There
is yet left a band of men with strong
arms n brave hearts who love liberty
and will not bow to the yoke without
striking a blow first for themselves. The
blood red torch of another revolution
larger and mightier than has yet occurred
awaits the practice or consummation of
such villainies as this. The assassins
hand may do q good work for mankind or
the desolation of a nation may give liber-
.ty to a world. Let Lincoln and has hire
ling nainions remember DIS

CAIRO, Ill.,, April IA.
On Tuesday morning Forrest attacked Fort
Pillow. Soon after the attack Forrest sent
flag of truce demanding the surrender of the
fort and garrison, in the meanwhile so dis
posing his forces as to take the advantage of
our force.
Major Booth, who commanded, refused the
nag OF truce, aud the lighting was resumed.
Afterwards second flag came in, which was
also refused. Both flags gave the rebels the
advantage OF gaining rear positions
The battle was kept up until p. NJ, when
Major Booth was killed and Major Bradford
took command.
The rebels now made such furious attack
that our men were compelled to surrender
Immediately upon the surrender a scene in
sued which battles all description. Up to that
time comparatively few of our men had been
Killed, bat instantly on taking possession of
the Fort the iiends commenced an indiscrmi-
mats butchering of the whites and blacks. en-
GLIDING those of both colors who had been
previously wounded, the black soldiers becom-
ing demoralized marched to the rear the
white officers having thrown down their arms
Both white and black were bayoneted. shot
or sabred; eyed dead bodies were horribly
mutHdIeu, anu cnlluren ard several negro
women were murdered in cold blood: soldiers
unable to speak from wounds, were shot dead
and their bodies thrown into the river The
dead and wounded negroes were piled in
heaps and burned, and several citizens who
had joined orr forces for protection were kill
ed and wounded.
Out of the garrison ofG0O but 200 remained
alive. Major Bradford is said to have es-
capped, but ii is feared he is killed.
The steamer Plat Valley came up at about
$50 p. m, and was hailed by the rebels, I'M
der flag of truce. Some men were sent
ashore to bury the dead and take aboard such
OF the wounded as the enemy had allowed to
live. 81 men were taken aboard, including 7
or negroes. Eight died on the way up.
The steamer arrived here this evening and
was Immediately sent to Mound city to dis
charge her suffering cargo
Among our wounded officers of colored
troops are Capt. Foster Lieut.. Tibbetts and
Adjt Scanning. Six guns were captured by
the rebels and carried of. A large amount
OF stores was destroyed or carried off, The
intention of the rebels seem to be to move on
towards Memphis and evacuate the place.
