APPEAL FOR AID FOR THE NATIONAL
GUARD.-The Governor has issued an ap-
peal to the people of the State in behalf of
the families of the National Guards who are
left destitute by the absence of their sup
portcrs. The Governor appropriates $1,000
out of his contingent fund for the purpose,
and calls upon the people to take organized
action and raise a sufficient sum by volun-
tary contributions to supply the wants of
the needy families, and suggests that the
the money be distributed with the propor-
tion of his appropriation, through the
County Military COMMITTEES. lie also re-
commends that those who remain at home
assist in attending to and harvesting the
crops of those who are absent in the SER
vice Of the country.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-05-09

WASHINGTON, May 7.-The city has been
intensely excited all day with the news from
the Army of the Potomac, the early publi-
cation serving to excite the public curiosi-
ty concerning the military movements
The thoughtful came to the conclusion that
u single encounter would not determine the
contest. A series of battles may have to be
fought before there can be any decisive re-
suit. 1t was telegraphed hence bv the in
dependent telegraph lines but refused by
the other lines, doubtless for prudential
reasons, that great victory was achieved
by Gen. Grant on Wednesday and Thurs
day, he driving the rebels two and half
miles with immense loss, and that he was
following up that victory on the following
morning by an assault on the rebel works.
The STAR in noticing similar statement
OF an afternoon cotemporary, remarks:
we should be- very glad to be able to con-
firm this news, but have to say, after dill
gent inquiry, we are satisfied that the Gov
ernment has received no such information,
or any information of more decisive results
than that furnished by the Tribune dispatch
elsewhere. The fact that Gen. Meade was
able to stand the blunt of the confederate
onset with portion of his command, is
considered a hopeful indication, and we
hope soon to be able to announce decisive
victory"
The above contradiction of the Star is
believed to be based on reliable informa-
tion. The statements which were received
to-day, and which are entitled to belief, are,
that Gen. Lee made tremendous and vio-
lent attack to pierce our centre, hoping
thereby to divide our forces and to secure a
victory, but Gen. Hitchcock's Corps came
to our relief and, amid murderous fire,
formed in line of battle, and thwarted the
designs of the rebels. The loss was heavy
on both sides.
Gen. Sheridan was proftably engaged in
another part of the field, and sent the chief
in command a message that he had routed
Stuart's Cavalry.
The attack of Lee was on our advancing
column, who doubtless anticipated a VIC
tory by his onslaught before the main body
could advance to the field of battle.
The appearances on Thurday were that
hostilities would be renewed on Friday.
WASHINGTON, May 7th, M Midnight.-The
excitement in this city tonight to learn
further particulars of the great fight be-
tween the armies of Generals Grant and
Lee is of the most intense description. All
sorts of rrmors prevail. Up to this hour
it is stated that the Government has receiv-
ed no official information in regard to the
great battle. Gen. Grant has cut off COM
munication between his lines and Wash
ington, and no one can pass his pickets
except his own special couriers.
Our loss in killed and wounded is said to
have been about 1000, including many Off
GERS of distinction.
WASHINGTON, z, $40 p. Mt is said to-
night that Gen. Hayes was killed in the
fight on Thursday, and that several other
Generals were wounded.

INFANTIcIDE.-MURDER OF AN INFANT
Yesterday evening citizen was fishing on
the east bank of the Scioto River, in the
neighborhood of the State dam, when his
attention was attracted to singular look
ing object which was floating on a bush in
the water, near the shore. He drew the
object to the shore and examined it. 1t
proved to be female infant apparently
between four and five weeks old, which must
hive been in the water for several ::days.-
The man Immediately informed Officer
McEwen who with Coroner Gaver repaired
to the spot and made an examination, which
disclosed wound on the back of the in
fant's head, evidently made with stone or
club, through which its brains had oozed
out No evidence which, might lead 10
the detection of the party guilty of the Of
fense, could be found about the pitiful OBJ
ject, and the Coroner could do nothing
more than give the slaughtered innocent
decent burial.

The LOCAL MARKET.-Thc market on Sat-
urday was well attended by wagons from
the rural districts. and more than the usual
supply and variety were to be seen. Many
OF the huckstcrs came to grief as conse-
quence. There were many country people
who brought their own produce to market,
and sold it without consulting the combi-
nation of hucksters. The day being warm
and the supply of butter plentiful, that ar
ticle came down to the reasonable price of
twenty-five cents. The hucksters were
greatly grieved at this, and many refused
to come down, still holding their produce
at forty cents, but their sales were not great,
and they were compelled TO return home
with a large stock on hand which we take
it has not been improved by the warm
weather since.
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-05-09

POLICE CoURT.-For several days past
this institution has proved barren of inter-
est. Few cases have been tried and those
few of so little consequence that they ex-
cited no attention even in those who make
the court their favorite resort for amuse-
ment. Even the subjects of municipal JUS
tice did not appear to have cared much
about their own cases, and accepted their
judgments as purely a matter of course.
1t is to be hoped this is the beginning of a
