Er We understand that Mr.. GEORGE II
ToPPIEe has received the appointments of pas
senger and freight agent upon the A,&G. w
R. r. at this place. We Congratulate the
company upon the excellent appointment they
have thus made. Mr.. TOPPING has long been
identified with t4c-business interests of the
town and county and in all its projects of i'm
provemcnt. So long a resident of our town
his business qualifications are known to be
second TO none of our yhole business comnu
nifty; The A.&G. W, 2. Rive might OBJ
serve BY the ways going to be one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, t~horoughfare oil
the country ; and in thus choosing a leading
qualified and responsible citizen of Ashland as
their agent here, they have but exempli6ed
that excellent management that was expected
from its Superintendent and other controllers
We venture the assertion that IA no town
through which a rail road has been built in
manly class of men employed. Mr.. STRONG,
the engineer, was universally beloved and re-
spected, Brown the boss tracklayer, had
friend in everybody with whom he became ac-
quainted. The "Conductors" of the trains
that have run through here for some weeks
been dissatisfied with. All in all, and in all
departments, it seems as if an especial effort
had been made by the company to keep a class
of employees whose actions would give entire
satisfaction to everybody interested in the
road. Good for the A. & G.. w, and may
their present purposes be ever carried out IN
their management of the Road.
?. S.-Since writing the above we have
heard that a certain e1que,-bpt a small one,
fhough,-Aave been making an effort to gust
Mr.. TopPIMs ard substitute some one in his
place. We beg cave here to say that we
have no "axe to grind" in this matter, but
ara utterly opposed to anv change. Although
Mr.. TOPPING is politically an adversary, we
wrote the above conscientiously, from a knoal-
edge of the man. We might say further that
the clique VINO are attempting to get up this
opposition to Mr.. TOPPING are men, who, in
stead of working fer the town and its inter
ests for gears, as Nj. TOPPING has done, are
men who have but recently came here and are
in no wise entitled to any special favors from
our citizens or any one here interested. Up
on the contrary their action until this great
project was nearly completed has been both
against the town and the road. But the in
Significance of the opposition to Mr.. TOPPING
entities it to no fuztAer notice The very
fact that q portion of the men who signed the
other paper without understanding its pur-
port, have since rapudiated it in toto, is enough.
Yet we may state that:secaase a few persons
opposed TOPPING, he will be no respectcr of
persons in the transaction of the duties the
company have given him to perform.

North Carolina.

Not long since we had glowing accounts
of Union demonstrations" in North Carolina
But now, though we hear of intense dissat;s-
faction in the old North State with the rebel
Confederacy, little or nothing is sid about
Union demonstrations there. Did the Admin
istration, under radical guidance, see that the
work of restoring North Carolina to the Union
on the old constitutional basis was going on,
and determined to nip it in the bud ?
1t w.uld seem SO from the fact of its SEN

the growing Union sentiment in that region

Our UEIoN SCHooL-A number Of NEE
tings have been recently held at the Town
Hall to take into consideration our present
school system. On each evening a large num-
Der of those interested were. in attendance
On the first evening a resolution was offered
proposing that the question be left to- vote
of the people, as to whether the present ar
rangement be abandoned and School houses
under the District School system be erected
and the present school houses be converted
into an academy which should be self sustain
ing This was moved to be amended by sub
hitting also the question whether we should
not build three additional school houses and
retain the system. The further. proposition
was made intthe form of q resolution that ii
the people should vote for retaiaing the sys-
TEN, the Superintendent of the High School
SHOULD have no. controls vqz the outside schools.
These, thep, are the questions to be, sub
mitted, and we understand that tie. board of
directors are aiseady-naking arranaementss in
accordance with this reg peet, to spbrait these
questions to a vote Of the people, = o
Let it be done at once. Asd # the people
are in favor of the present plan, so lie. IT.. If
not let ne fix upon some other plan. That
the present arrangement is worthless bero is
30 doubt. That another must be adopted is
equally phin- We are satisfied Gat the pres
emf plan IS a failure.

The Duhuqu, (Iowa) Herald, commenting
upon Gen. McClelan's letter, has the follow
ing pointed and pertinent remarks:
Now if the war was overnight, by Gen. Nc
Clellan's own testimony, it is now not only
wrong but vile. Why does he hold a Major
Generals commission and become liable to
prostitute it at any moment to such intamou s
endsP Why docs he not come out and erect
the standard of opposition to such a p~rostitu-
ton of powers of government? Who calls on
us to support SO vie adespotism. Patriotism?
nc! IF we.love our country we should strike it,
down. Duty? No; duty demands nothing in
CONSTANT with right. Opposition to rebellion?
Any, rebellion that could be organized would
be . pnri6er. The unity of the Nation Is it
not better that a despotism be limited than ex
te nded in its area? Neither patriotism, duty
as a citizen, Christianity, loyalty, nor National
pride demand tall forbii it. Step out then,

- A week ago last Saturday n lot of re
turned soldiers got up a muss in New London,
Huron county. They first went to the store
sot Mr. E. Fl. DAY, broke in the windows and
and maltreated the proprietor. They then
went to the store of A. CoRKINs, kicked in
the windows and destroyed a portion of his
property after be had in q generous and gem
:flemanly manner treated all of them to a dish
of oysters. From there they started again
and proposed, among others. to mob Mr.. JOHN
3. SHURR. They met him on the street and
drew revolvcrs and demanded he should take
a n oath of allegiance. Mr.. SMURR, very
promptly, told the white livered scoundrels
that the proper place fer them was one that is
generally snpPosed to. be more than. comfortably
warm and he <efRsed to concede to them a
single atom. When they thus found a man
that adidn.t scare worth a d IN" these cow
ards, murderers and thieves skedadled to save
their own dirty carcasses.
We understand that one ELDER ROBIN
SON, Mayor of the town, looked upon and
urged on these disgraeeful proceeding. The
boys of men who pretend to be members of
the church, among them emo RUNYAN, were
urged BY their parents to participate in the
affair. We understand that this Mayor, who
took . solemn oath to take care of and pre-
serve the peace of the town, committed at
least n moral perjury by advising men to as
1sist In the mob. He asked Mr.. JAMES MOORE
10 assist in it, and this can be proved.
We csH the attention of orr democratic
paper Of last week upon this mOb law question.
The houses ef such sanctimonions, hypocritical,
indi1iduaIs as the Mayor of New London
ought not to he permitted to stand p single
hour. We say, &c for them.

supDressing Democratic Papers by
-S Abolition MObs.

Tn Crawford Democrat and the Luzerne
| Democrot,Aboth published in Pennsylvania,
were destroyed by Abolition mobs, within the
last few DAYS. On Saturday evening last, the
Offices of the Crisis and Statesman, at Colum
bus, being threatened by mobs, the friends OF
the papers, aided by soldiers sent by General
Heinzleman from Camp Chase, guarded both
establishments from danger.
That there exists a deep laid plot to destroy
the Democratic press Of the country, there Is
not the slightest doubt. The scheme origin
ated With the shoddy contractors and thieves
at Washington, and is to be carried out by the
disuaion Leagues throughout the country
Their object is to prevent an exposure OF the
frauds and rasealities of the Abolition party,
aud to suppress by violence all opposition 10
the election of Abraham Lincoln-being fully
conscious that if the Illinois joker is thrown
out of power by the American people, there
will be a restoration of the Union, with peace,
prosperity, and brotherly-love, as they existed
before the Jacobins, ~fanatics and thieves came
into power.
1t is the duty of the Democrats everywhere
to organize to defend their presses and their
property from Abolition violence and desiring
ton. We like the plan adopted by the DEM
ocrats up at Warren. A mob gathered to de-
stroy the office of the Constitution, when a
large crowd of Democrats and pass
ed rSS0lutlODS Qeclarlug tudt h-tnOAi PiSos ""S
destroyed, they would Instantly retaliate, and
not only destroy the Abolition paper, but the
business places of every man in the town VINO
aided and abetted the mobbing of the office OF
the Constitution. 1t is needless to say that
this determination brought the Abolitionsts to
Their senses, and the Democratic paper was
not disturbed.
The Democracy are q law-abiding party
They have submitted to outrages and insults
such as no other party has ever endured
They have shown a heroic and christian for
bearance that has been truly astonishing
But there is a point beyond which forbear-
ance ceases to be a virtue When the laws
fail to protect the persons and property OF
Democrats, then the first Jaw of nature, i'm
planted in every mans breast by the great aad
good Creator, will come to his protection.
THE LAW OF SELF DEFENCE! The Democrats
will offer no insults to their opponents nor
wantonly destroy their property but let it be
distinctly understo cd that they will no longer
receive insults nor tamely submit to having
their own property destroyed by mobs. Let
the lea tGIionis-tLe Law of retaliation-be
rigidly enforced. When a Democratic paper
is mobbed, let two Republican papers be de-
stroyed in return and let tie Abolition lea
ders, who stand in the back ground and hiss
On the mobocrata suffer in their persons and
and property for the w.ongs they cause to be
committed. Fhe two hundred thousand Dem
ocratic voters of Ohio are abundantly able to
protect their persons and presses against Alb
clifton mobs, and they should do it.-M.
