The smallpox is spreading itself with
fearful rapidity over the country. In
Cincinnati it is worse than ever before
known; in Cleveland, Ohio, it is said there
are upward of twelve hundred cases; and
in Columbus and other places it is veIy
bad. 1t seems to have started from mil
and hospitals.

A REMARKABLE death from lock,iaw
has occurred in London. A man was
driving his horse and cart, when he
snapped his whip, the thong returning
and striking him on the check. The
place became irritatod; at the expiration
of week lock-jaw set in; and all the
skill of the surgeons at Westminster
Hospital failed to prevent a fatal result.

Governor Seymour.

The unanimous resolution, Of approcia-
ton and thanks which passed tho Assem-
bly, day or two since, is triumphant
vindication of Governor Seymour against
bitter aspersions cast upon him during
the summer and autumn of 1868. 1t is
unpleasant and perhaps ungracious to re-
fer to those assaults now, when the poi
soned shafts have fallen blunted and
harmless at the feet of their intended vic
tim; nor would We recur to them but for
the important and much-needed lessons
which they teach. The full recognition
now made of Governor SeymouPs patri-
otism, of the business of his position, and
of the great value of his services to the
State, would encourage public men to an
honest, inhexiblo.dischargo Of their duty
in spite of popular obloquy, and it should
admonish the fippant zealots who are so
ready to handy charges of treason against
the purest and most upright men in the
community that the blush belongs to the
authors of such charges and not to their
objects. We insert the resolutions of
thanks which were passed unanimously
by the Assembly:
RESOLVED That the thanks of this
house be and are hereby rendered to his
excelency Governor Seymour, for calling
the attention of the general government,
at Washington, to the errors in the APP
pointment of the quota of this State, I'M
der the Sd of March, 1868, and for his
prompt and efficient efforts in procuring
correction.
ReSolUed That the clerk Of this house
transmit to the Governor an engrossed
copy of this report and resolutions"
These resolutions were preceded by a
report of the committee on federal rela-
tons, setting forth the nature and value
of Governor Seymour's services. From
this report it appears that the State is
indebted to him for just reduction on
tho October call amounting to seven
thousand five hundred and twenty men,
and on the February call five thousand
and thirteen men-nearly thirteen thous-
and men in all. 1t was for protesting
against the now admitted injustice of
quotas thus reduced that Governor Soy
mour's patriotism was impugnod. We
trust that this vindication of his judg-
mcnt and his motives may not be lost
upon the country.-N Y. World.

PROPERLY CREDITED.-It is n source
of congratulation to tho people of our
county to know that Hon. T. w. Ferry
has succeeded in obtaining an order from
the War Department giving the proper
credits to the several townships of our
county, of those enlisting therefrom rs
members of the Michigan Third Infantry.
1t seems by some Straightforward or 9th
er mysterious agency the entire regiment
had been credited to Kent county; but,
through the exertions of Mr. Ferry, in
obtaining the necessary documentary evil
denco from the men themselves, partial
justice has at length been done our coun-
ty. The services of the honorable gentle
man, thus rendered, are greatly appreciat-
ed, and thereby several townships become
exempt from the operation of the pending
draft.

,guoraut, but which In their minds, excited
and confonnded by the mysterious Skir-
mishing Of the police, had become aFFayed
with all the terroFs Of the rack or slow fire
had chosen voluntary death 70 the unknown
agunies they believed to be in store for
them, The name of one of them Wss Annie
Wallace, a young woman of only eightesn
years, and the daughter of respectable
parents residing in Bridgeport. About four
months ago concealing her destination
from her friends she took up her abode in
house Of i'll fame, kept by Mrs Anna Bell,
ct 290.Glark street, and there entered upon
a life Of shame, With her il was as short
ss it was inglorious. Scarcely yet recoV-
erad from the first wild and intoxicating
excitement OF . Wanton's life she found
herself without friends whom she dared
approach, subjected TO the overwhelming
storm which had burst upon her. Afraid
to face an uncertain tate on Friday even
ing she drank poisoned cup and died by
her own hand. ii iiaa- 1T ..r,H.-r
Another victim 70 the reign of terror was
Mrs. Kenny, whose maiden name was
Maggie GIynn. She closed q life of many
yicissitudes on Friday night, from the ef-
fects of landanum administered by her own
hand. The Coroner held inquests yester-
day upon the bodies Of the two unfortu-
nate women, and the jury returned YER
diets in both cases Of death by suicide.
There we're reports current upon the
streets last night of yet other cases of self
destruction by these panic-strickeu te-
males. According to one of these, six
women took q hack and went q cOnsidera-
BILE distance on the North Side, where
they left the conveyance and proceeded to
the lake shore and deliberately threw
themselves into the water and were drown
ed. II is impossible as yet to obtain the
real facts in the case. There are other
rumors abroad of an equally startling ma
ture, but time alone can determine upon
what foundation they rest. OF an intense
and widely spread panic there can be no
doubt. r- 30 -s. 80 .a .-. -.- ...
While some of the prostitutes have thus
taken the fearful responsibility of ending
their own miserable existence, others in
large numbers are flying from the city in
all directions. The police authorities state
that the numbers known to have fed are
as follows;-For Cincinnati, thirty; for 81.
Louis sixty, aud for Pittsburgh, twenty
eight. Besides these there is reason to be
lieve that large numbers have left for other
parts, some going by private conveyance.
No demonstration was made last night
except by the police, further than placing \
strong patrol force upon Wells and CLARK
streets. If the terror already created does
not rapidly abate it will be difficult for the
present to find one of this class Of persons
of whom to make an example. The order
of the Police Commissioners is accom-
plishing its work most rapidly. Now that
the great hammer is about TO fall, let US
hope that some of the offenders of the
male persuasion will feel its weight. When
will the gsmblers' turn Gomez

The Call for Men.

It seems to us great error to repre-
sent the call for FIVE hundred thousand
men as chilling the national heart; and
equally erroneous to regret that it was
not rhetoricalIy made, sor TO suppose
that q word from General Grant or Sher-
man would fill the ranks which the Pres
ident's would fail to recruit. ... ,--
Upon the subject of an increase of the
army nothing is juster than the position
taken by the Evening Post, that now is
the very time when we can not have too
many men-a position directly antagon-
istic to the idea that the call for these
men, whether for one, two, or three years,
would chill the national ardor. But TO
summon them for a month or hundred
days is idle. Let them be called for one,
two, or three years, and if they are not
needed more than twenty days so much
the better. -..I.r..... ..,.-..-. 81. ..
As for the cred tape" of the call, it is
surely much more dignified that q sum
mons OF the President SHOULD be calm,
brief, and direct. Nothing is gained by
what is called rhetoric in State papers; no
statement the President might make Of
the situation could deepen the general
feeling In regard to It; and no impassion-
ed appeal could be moro persuasive than
the simple call -..r- f
But the suggestion that if Sherman
and Grant need help they should call di-
rectly upon the nation is more serious.
Sherman and Grant are Lieutenants of
the Commander-in>Cief.- When he calls,
they call. The man must!have a strange
conception of public affairs who imagines
that the call for men is made without the
concert of General Grant He must have
a still stranger conception Of the duty of
Generals to their Chief who suppOses
that the summons of the subondinates
would be mOreIpersuasive In what con-
dition would this country be, if it respond
ed to q call from General Sherman which
it disregarded from the President Eth
er the General and the President are in
perfect accord, or they are not If they
are, General Sherman already calls for
more men. If they are not, and we are
likely to obey his call when it comes,
meanwhile neglecting the President, then
General Sherman is In the most danger
Gus position possible for the country. In
that case he has that hold upon the popu-
lar heart 10 the exclusion of the President,
which the false friends of Mcclellan tried
to create for him, with the intention, un>
der certain circumstances, of enabling
him to do what some of his newspaper
supporters openly called upon him, and
afteWard upon General Grant to do, names
ly, to overthrow the Government and in~
stall himself as dictator.
There could be no surer sign OF ap-
preaching anarchy than call for moro
men proceeding from any General in the
service. The men in the field are citi~
zen-soldiers, and the President is their
Commander-in-ChieE. Through him,
with the knowledge and appreciation of
his Generals, the summons ought to come,
as ithas come, not .despondingly or doubt
fully, but graYely, calmly, and confident

regard to the burning Of Ghsmbersburg
which are OF interest. he said that be or
dered 500 600 in gold 10 be demanded Of
the town. and that Il the demand was not
complied with in three hours the town was
to be burned; that the sum OF money de-
manded was intended 70 reimburse Andrew
Hunter, VIM. aLucAsy Edmund J. Lee and
Hon. Alex. r. Botelet for their losses caus-
ed in the destruction Of their property by
order of Gen. hunter, aud that he felt per-
fectly justified in the course he had pur-
sued. He explained how Gen. Hunter bad
burned the house of his (Hunter's) oousiui
in Jefferson county, Virginia, and taken
that cousin (AndreW Hanter) oh as pris-
oner, and said that the act was brutal
one, because the Inmates of the house we're
not allowed time to save even portion OF
their clothing. In concluding, he said 1t
would be the future policy Of the rebel
government to retalfate in the severest
manner for all barbAFities praotised against
them. He delivered these remHrks in a
calm, firm manner. In q private cOnVersa'
ton he said that no man more than him
self deprecated the necessity OF such an
act % the one eommitted at Chambers
burg, but that he sanctioned it, believing he
was only doing his duty to those people
who had suffered by Gen. Hunters orders,
Aud again because he believed that by re-
taliation such barbarous practices would
be sooner discontinued than many other
way. he was particularly severe on Gen.
Hunter, and said that, should he fall q
prisoner into their hands, his lot would be
q hard one. E-.1-.Is - o. sI.r.E

rnE oouxrRY AROUND CUMBERLAND.

One Of the least inviting regions for .
raiding party is the country north and
south of Cumberland. In both directions
we meet continually ranges of uncultivsted
hills. Between these, it is true, lie some
small and beautiful arabic valleys, but so
imperfectly cultivated that they barely
support the home population. Discover
ing this, the rebels have no doubt been in
fluenced to tabRndon the country for the
richer and more extensive valley across
North Mountain. There was one tempts-
tiou, however, to their longer stay in
Pennsylvania, and that was the destruc.
ton of Bedford Springs in retaliation for
the burning of the Sulphur Springs, of
Virginia; and had it not been for the sue.
cesssul AFFAIR on our part at Felckis Mills,
the secessionists of Baltimore and Phila-

excellent privileges to browbeat and deFide

The nGTeRt Social EVIL" IN Chicago.
The Chicago papers for some time past
have alluded to the increase of the ''great
social evil" in that city. The Board of
Police, at a recent session, passed the fol-
lowing stringent order:
OrdeFed-That the Superintendent Of
Police be directed 70 canse a notice TO be
left at all buildingo which are supposed 70
be occupied or patrOniEed by disorderly,
yagrant or other persons Of illegal prac-
tices, that from and after forty.eight hours
from the date of leaving said notice all
legal means will be resOrted to for the
purpose Of promptly enforcing the ordi-
nance of the city and laws of the State
against such persons.
The Chicago Post of Monday contains
the following startling narrative of the
effects produced
The notices were served on Thursday by
leaving copies at large number of houses
occupied by disreputable females- We do
not hear that any notices we're served upon
the blscklegs or any other "disorderly"
persons of the sex masculine. Indeed the
suddenly Virtuous resolutions Of the Police
Commissioners appear 70 be wholly di.
rected, in the present case, against women.
Possibly they may suppose that if they can
succeed in vanquishiug the women their
male eonfreres will disappear, and save the
trouble aud danger of q campaign against
an enemy composed Of veterans who have
smelt gunpowder.
The forty-eight hours grace mentioned
10 the notices expired yesterday. The ter
rible effects produced by the order, whether
anticipated or not, have burst upon the
community with all their melancholy re-
Ality. eI- -s
The frst fruits Of the order were the Vio-
lent deaths, by their Own hands, of two aban
doned women, who, terrified by the threat
ened vengeance ofIhe authorities-the na-
ture and extent Of which they were utterly
