THE BLACK HEROES"

Occasional" in a recent letter to
the Philadelphia Press. makes the
following just remarks:
In fact, there is not now, and never
has been, q white m.h in thc free
States, ft to work or enough tor his
family, that ever lost q days wages,
because of negro competition. But
all this is theivery least -psrt Of the
sufferings Of the colored race
There is darker side to this very
dark picture. Look at them. they &c
into the war; when they 90 cut to
fight for and save theivels Of many
of those who forget while they
slander them. 6 The capture
and massacre at Fort Pillow is the
text for a volume. The negro volun-
teer enters the army under three
immediate and as yet insoluble
difficulties; 1. He gets less pay
than the white man. 2. He knows
iftaken prisoner he will not be ex-
changed. 8. He feels and may well
fear that if captured his life may be
sacrificed as if he were in the
employ of the enemies OF the best
institutions in the world. Look, at
this black hero. o prejndiced parti

statesman, priest or pharisee, the
laborer who lets the pol tician cheat

the narrow sophisms of his teacher, /

having forced the North to employ
black and white alike. to save our
Government, what reason can On

the blacks, and how could this nation
defend itself if the scelored people
were not enlisted in this war? In

inst by reqaestofs Committee from
the gnlon Convention, Gov. Brough
made aispeech a to the people from
which we extract the following rela-
ting to the National Guards. The
odlum that the Copperheads SO fond
~ imagined, had attached to theact
of calling out the Guards, and con-
sequent benefits they anticipated
would result from it, to their canse
in the next election is fast dissolving
into thin air. As time passes, the
motive of our patriotic Governor is
becoming better understood. He
win be honored all the more for it in
the end. s..J rh
passing on to the question how
political success was to be won, he
said success was to come from the
muzzles of Grants guns Therefore,
they must sustain their Government
and their army in the field, with all
the men and money necessary for
their complete success The con-
flict should be made not lingering
but short and decisive. 1t was with
this view that he ventured to do an
act which would probably receive
censure as it had already, viz: the
calling out the National Guard, but
he knew that there were an hundred
thousand veterans in Notifications
and guarding railroads which were
needed to strengthen our army in the
field The gallant general who leads
that army did not ask for these to be
strengthened, but that the men
might be on the field of battle. Y
There was no time for drafting or
getting volunteers, for time was the
essenceof the contract, and he woald
say here that he had the records to
show that but for the glorious record
of Ohio, Grant and his army would
not have been where they are to-
night rxvnEr,1 srrF
He did not say this Of his own ac-
cord, but as coming from higher au-
thority. / Afterthe seven days fight
ing the Government was enabled to
send forward. He would not give
figures. But the number was great
.erthan our National Guard. In one
instance 4, 1000 Ohio Guards relieved
$4,000 veterans for the front. He
took none Of the glory or the credit
to himself that belongedte the noble
Gusri, but he would shoulder the
responsibility and all the censure.-
History would show this to be the
brightest record Of this bloody con-
test.
In speaking further OF the record
of Ohio, he said he was never so
proud Of her as to-day. As one high
in authority had said in ronGh Ian
guage, sit seems that in everything
Ohio holds all the honors, and trumps
all the tricks and lie invited them
to look to the list Of officers in the
Veteran regiments and the National
Guard. In conclusion. the Govern
or said that his best services and
energies were devoted to the cause,
and he stood ready TO do any amount
of hard work, and when our country
was restored to peace and presperi-
ty, he would return to the retirenc mt
whence he had been forced into pub
lie service. The Governor was most
loudly cheered and Indorsed by the
immense audience.

Report of the Home Relief Society.

MEssRs. EDIToEs.-In your last issue was
q call on the ladies of the Home Relief So
rciety for a report. They do not need
second invitation, and could have given a
report before now, had not one been made
out and publicly read at Festival held the
22d of June. From the organization of our
Society, Nov. 8, 1863, to the present time,
we have received (besides various articles
of wearing apparel, and sack of -four,
which were distributed to those needing
.them,) $1l9.20 in money. We have given
for various benevolent purposes, S7l,95
aeaving at present in the Treasury, S47,25.
We have now on hand various articles of
considerable value, made by the ladies of
the ii. r. S., and intended to be sold to aid
them in their benevolent purposes.

Circular.

AS will be seen from the within publishes
the Iowa County Agricultural Society have
Diet ermined to hold the usual Annual Fair
They have deemed that Notwithstanding
the general failure of crops and the untoward
circumstances of a season unfavorable to
the farmer, it is yet possible by renewed
effort on the part of all interested in the
prosperity aid perpetuation of the Society,
to secure Cor Iowa County creditable ag-
ricultural exhibition. The Executive Com
mittee judged. without dissent by any
member, that it would not be wise to post
pone the Fair till another year By SO doing
the Society would at least lose the One
Hundred DolEarg pledged by the State. 1t
is probable that its pecuniary loss would
be two or three times that amount. TWAS
also urged that to maintain public interest
in the Society, we must maintain the Fair.
The daily transacting events of the Great
Rebellion still absorb the minds Of the peo-
pie, but our national interests in this time of
trial will not suffer US to abate our interest
in the province of Agriculture, and in the
study of how to make labor and ground
most productive of the sirews of war. In
the face Of all discouragements the Com
mittee have not only determined to hold
the Fair, but have sought to extend its use
fulness, and promote its success by offering
premiums on large number of articles not
enumerated in the Lists Of previous years.
The Society is still considerably in debt
The state of the weather on former Fair
occasions has seer very adverse and we
have not been able yet to establish the So
ciety on financial basis. To do this re-
quires the encouragement Of the people Of
all trades and occupations. 1t is mutual
institution in which each member has an
equal and positive interest, and whatever
he does for the benefit of the whole Society,
results in degree to his own interest
We ask the people of the County 10 mani
fest their appreciation of the uses ana pur-
poses of the Society by contributing to the
Exhibition, and by attending with their
families, thus enjoying a social season, and
receiving and communicating useful know
ledge
We invite the attention of the ladies to
many and various addit;cps to their de-
partments Of the Fair, and feel that we are
not mistaken in expecting profitable returns
from our liberality both to them and the
Society. Though we are unfortunate in the
season, we may hope under Providence for
bountiful harvests in the next, while our
recent victories joined to the rapid decay of
the military resources of the Rebellion give
US cause to believe that in another year we
shall rejoice in peace restored, and in
country reunited, prosperous and happy.
