WASHINGTON, July 10.
The government is in receipt, this morning OF
glorious news from Sherman. 1t is not news
Of battles butsomeihing better. Gen. Sherman
announces that yesterday, having previously
crossed the Chattahoochee his whole army yad-
vanced five miles south of the river and crossed
Reachtree creek This advance was made with
out any resistance from JOhnson's army, except
slight skirmishing with his rear as he retreated.
This movement necessarily forces Johnson into
the defense of Atlanta, and places the city with
in range of Sherman's guns.
The Heads of the Departments are siftin out
the clerks and employers who evaded the call to
arp,s when the Capitol was believed to be in
peril who will be sdecked with white feathers
or, what is tantamount dismissed for this cause.
New York, July 20.-Fhe OOmntereial's s spe-
cial says the War Department has positive JIM
formation of the evacuation of Atlanta by john
ston' s forces II is believed that Sherman has
by this time dispatched a large body Of Stone
mans cavalry to Macon, in order TO release the
numerous Union officers who are confined there.
Our cavalry was sent to operate on the railroad
east of Decatur, and cut off communication be-
tween Atlanta, and Augusta, thus preventing
the removal Of tOresto the latter place, and the
reinforcement of Johnston. So 80 ..

Under the new act of Congress, the Presl-
dent has made callfo half million Of yolun-
teers for one, two or three years, as persons may
elect. If the quota be not filed by the 9th Of
September next, then draft for one year is or-
dered.
1t now behocves the people of the several
townships in this county to at once take active
measures to fill their quotas. The Government
pays bounty of $I00 $500 and $500 for one,
two and three years service respectively. The
Trustees of the several townships are empower
ed by an act of the State Legislature to pay a
bounty not exceeding 800 to each volunteer
credited TO their townships. In addition to this
the citizens of each township should raise a
fund sufficiently large to pay an additional
bounty of 500 TO each recruit This would
make the bounty for one year, $500; for two
wears, $4OO; for three years, $500. If it's found
that the men can be obtained for a less sum,
nav less. but raise the money to have 1t on hand
TO nay whatever sum may be necessary. Ii
Thought advisable, pay bounties in proportion
10 the length of enlistment. But don't be afraid
to nav liberal and decent bounty to the men
who are willing to sacrifice the comforts and
lows of home for the heat and cold and fatigue
Of the camp, and the bullets and the shells OF the
enemy. We cannot pay our defenders too much.
Active and energetic work is now wanted to
clear Sandusky county from the draft. Some
towns and counties have taken action IN thIt
matter in anticipation of the draft, and have
already enlisted many men. If we wait until
few days before the draft takes place, we may
not be so fortunate in obtaining men as we were
at the lest draft. Now is the time to show oul
patriotism and liberality. 1t should be every
man principal object to assist in some way II
putting down the rebellion, and restoring the
permsnency of our Government. Some mus
20 into the ranks, and those who do not mus
contribute literally to those who do.
Don't wait to have your quotas assigned, TO
that will probably not be done under three o
Eourweeks yet. 1t viii be about the same il
the several townships as at the last draft. Blu
90 ahead and raise men till you think you hav'
got enough, and theu--get more. The Gov
eminent wants all it can get.

RAID INTO NORTH CAROLINA,

A letter from Knoxville to the Cincinnati
Commercial dated July 9Th, has the following
account of a successful raid from that point:
Col. g. w. Kirk returned to this place last
night, from the most brilliant raid of this sec
ton. Left on the 18th of June with 100 men,
Their first work was at Boswell, where they
Killed Capt. T. Osborn, the most notorious guer-
rilla in East Tennessee, and l3 men. FrOmthis
point they marched $50 miles through lonely
mountain paths, when they arrived at Camp
Vance North Carolina, near Morgantown.-
Here 325 North Carolina troops surrendered,
but Major Finn, their commander escaped
Gov. Vance and Brig. Gen. Gofford had left on
ly the day previous. The property destroyed
here was: Engine aud train 1000 pairs
English made shoes, large lot of bacon, &c
At Mcfarland Station, on the. Salisbury and
MOrgantown railroad, they destroyed the station
and bridge, and captured % men. From here
they returned, skirmishing with bushwhackers
all the way, but only losing one man in the whole
trip. They dispersed various bands of militia
on the road, and captured much stock. They
arrived with $50 prisoners (seven officers, 80
negroes, and IS horses, being compelled to pa
role many prisoners who could not be brought
through, The negroes all enlisted on their ar
rival here in the lst United States Artillery, =
The Col. has 25 North Carolina Indians FORM
erly in the rebel service, who make excellent
soldiers for the Union. The-Col. and his broth
er, Lieut.. W. II. Kirk, were both wounded
slightly. They are heroes who deserve the
name.

Col. Frank SAWYER.

The brave officer who has led the gal
liant Eighth Ohio through the flame ofwar,
and returned its remnant to the State, has
been mustered out of the service and we
suppose returns to private life again. The
Colonel has a certificate of his gallantry that
he will carry as long as he lives, but we
trust his wound will not prove perma-
nentdisabillity,
The Colonel before the war was prom
inent and successful member of the Huron
Bar, having his residence at NorwaIk. We
hear among the names of gentlemen men,
toned for nomination for Congress in the
Huron District that of Col Sawyer, and his
many friends are warmly urging that Of
ficer as candidate. II he consents and is
elected-and elected he will be if nominat-
ed-that District will be ably and loyalty
represented. = CleUeIand Herald.

The Dark Side n the ReyoIy,,o..

The patriot is sometimes disposed to think
that his own times are the most corrupt and dis
heartening of all times. If one were to infer
the true condition of our country from the raw
ings of the New York opposition Press he
would conclude that the Republic was hasten
ing towards the lowermost pits of perdition.-
But our Revolutionary fathers passed through
similar trials. Mr.. Lorenzo Sabine, i'll a recent
work on American LOyalists says of the promi-
nent men of the Revolutionary Era: 'they were
great and good, little and bad, mingled; Just as
elsewhere the annals of our race" Speaking Of
the service and corruption with which the times
abounded, he says:
@WashingtOn mOurned the want Of virtue as
early as IT'S, and ayerred that he 'trembled al
the prospect. Soldiers were stripped of theil
miserable pittance, that contractors for the army
might become rich in single campaign Many
of the sellers of merchandise mOnoplized articles
of the first necessity, and would not part with
| them to their suffering countrymen, and to tht
wives and children of those who were absent il
the field, unless at enormous profits. The traf
| ccarried on with the royal troops was immense
Men of all descriptions engaged IN it, and thos'
who at the beginning of the war would hav,
shuddered at the idea of any connection will
| the enemy, pursued itwith ayidity."
Washington himself, in one of his private let
| ters bears full testimony to the correctness o
this description;
From what have seen, heard and in par
| know, should i'll one word say, that idleness
| dissipation and extravaganza, seem to have lai,
| fast hold of most; that speculation, peculation
aud an Unsuitable thirst for riches, seem TO hav
got the better of every other consideration an'
almost every order of men; and that party dis
putes and personal quarrels are the great busi
ness of the day"
| The difficulty of raising troops in some of tn
| States was almostiusurmountable. There wer
| an abundance of bounty Jumpers and deserter
and incessant wrangllng among the among Off
i GERS in the army.
| Such were some of the clouds of discourage
ments through which with infinitely less ad
yantages than we enjoy, our fathers fought thei
way to victory. Why, then, should we falte
before the same obstacles?

A Man Hung for killing Soldier-A Dust

Major Capehart lst Regiment West Virginia
Cavalry who is now in Wheeling, relates an in
cident in connection with the late raid of Hun.
ter. 1t ltappears that in the month of November
last prominent citizen of Greenbriar county,
named David Crea, killed one of General Ave
rill' s soldiers, who belonged to company on
picket duty near Crea's house. Crea first shot
the soldier with revolver and then struck him
on the head with an ak, and carried the body to
well on the place and tumbled it in with a
view Of cancealing his crime. When the army
passed through LeEisburg recently, on its way
to Lynchburg a negro hian informed some of
General Averills officers of the facts mentioned
above
The General at once ordered the arrest of Crea,
who was staying at his house about six miles
from Lewisburg, and he was taken along with
the army. On the way to StauntOn a court
martial was called in the case; and Crea, upon
being brought up for trial, made full confession
of the murder. The sentence of the court was
that be be hung by the neck gntilLe was dead
and then all his combustible property be de-
! stroyed. The dreadful sentence was approved
| by General Crook and put in execution the day
after the army left Staunton. at little place
called Brownstown, in the presence of a large
| number of soldiers.
| 1t was the opinion of all that Crea richly de-
served the terrible punishment he received, as
| the murder was without prqVncalipp. Crea al
one time represented Greenbriar county in the
