candidate for Prosecuting Attorney
of Lieut.. Weldy's qualification for
the Office, it is needless for us to speak.

promotion and deserved distinction in
the Regular army.
The loyal men of the county will be
glad of the opportunity of voting for

will have the opportunity of ousting
from office the present incumbent,

Obituary of william Foster BrscIs.
COLUMBUS, August 10, 1864.

COLUMBUS, August 10, 1864.
II is with deep regret that we record
the sudden death Of one of our best c-
tzens, w. f. BREoK, of Grove City, in
this county, on the Sth instant, aged
50 wears.
His funeral sermon was preached on
the 10th, in the Presbyterian Church,
near the family residence, by the Rev.
Thomas Woodrow, D. d., pastor of the
Church, from James ~. IA, "For what
is your life ? 1t is even n vapor," "that
appeareth for little time, and then
vanisheth away" when the largo af-
fiictcd, and sympathetic audience fol-
lowed the remains to the Green Lawn
Cemetery, near this city,
The deceased was engaged in haul
ing in some grain from field near his
residence, when the horses started,
and ran with him. He fell between
the wagon and horses, when one of the
wheels passed over his neck, causing
death almost instantly, the, heart not
ccasing to pulsate for thirty to forty
minutes. lie did not speak, nor give
any evidence Of consciousness.
He leaves wife and four children to
mourn their irreparablc loss. n
Mr.. Brock removed from Carroll, in
Fairfield county, in 1850, and soon
after, laid out and improved to aeon
siderable extent, the village now call
cd Grove City.
The deceased was a man X noble
and generous impulses, and sought to
promote the happiness of all around-
lie Tad largo circle Of friends and
acquaintances by whom he was great
Iy respected and beloved. He was q
truopatriot, alive to the interests of
his country, and ever ready to aid in
buppressing tho present rebellion
The soldier, and tho soldiers wife and
family found in him warm and con-
slant friend, rs many generous and no.
bic acts attest. He was man of great
kindness of heart in his family, as u
friend he was social and friendly in
his habits, and loved to see all around
him happy. Ho was man of strong
integrity and uprightncss in all his
business transactions; and remarkably
strict and honest in all his dealings,
as many gentlemen in this city can
attest.
Tho country around was entirely
new, and he set himself most sodulous-
ly to seek its improvement. Hc laid
out the plan of q largo and commodi-
GUS residence for himself and family,
and we may add for tho reception of
his friends. Part of this he erected
and occupied for years, and he had
made considerable progress in com
plotting his original plan, when he was

To tie Military Committees:
"By re-adjustment Of accounts be.
tween the State and the General Gov
ernmcnt we carry forward credit OF
about twenty Thousand 100000 upon
the call Of July IS for i've hundred
thousand men. This surplus is, or
will be, credited TO sub districts before
the first of SeptsSabcr, except eleven
thousand six hundred and eighty three
'(ll $3.50 men in the army, and about
one thousand in the naval SERVICE
These enlistmcnts are Us surplus on
calls Of 1861 and 1862, and as they are
prior to the adoption of the system OF
local credits, there is no means of de-
termining accurately where they be-
long. With much labor they have
been divided, as | think, correctly in
to congressional districts, and copy
Of that apportionment is appended
The'only way of apportioning among
sub-districts recognized by the Pro
vost Marshal-G Generals S Department is
to divide pro rata upon the basis of the
present enrolment, and this will be
adopted, unless some more equitable
means can be devised. Notwithstand
ing every means has been used to ex-
pediate this settlement, it has been de-
Iayed until very little time is left for
the last adjustment. After brief re-.
Election upon the difficulty of accom-
plishing this end, have concluded to
say to the Military Committees in the
Congregational Districts, that if they
can agree, upon consultation, as to the
proper assignment OF these credits, and
present their report to me by the I'd
or Sd of September, l have no doubt
that assignment will be accepted by
the Provost Marshals Department
and the credits given accordingly
If parties are unable to agree, or this
is not done by the time specified the
Provost Marshal will undoubtedly be
compelled to adopt the system Of pro
rating this excess. regret that more
time could not be afforded, but 1T has
been impracticable to do so. Please
let me hear from you as promptly as
practicable.
Every respectfully,
[Signed] "JNo. BRoUGH."
The appointment referred to gives
credits to the following Districts: 3d

u. 4. 1.aO LOAN.

Wo iOvite tho attention OF those
having money TO invest, to the adyer-
tisement Of the new Loan. The Act
Of Congress, approved June 30, 1864,
authorized the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to issue On amount not exceeding
two hundred million of dollars in
Treasury notes, bearing seven and
throe,tenths per cent. interest, re-
dcemablc after three years from date.
These arc to be exchanged for lawful
money. st.f4
The Secretary is authorized to con-
vert these notes bearing six per cent.
interest, payable in coin, which, at
the present high premium on 500
bonds, is equivalent to adding three
per cent. interest to the notes, thus
increasing the rate Of interest to about
ten per cent.
By special act Of Congress all
Government bonds and Treasury notes
are exempt from State or municipal
taxation. This exemption is consid-
cred worth two per cent per annum.
Adding all these advantages together,
the new loan is worth about twelve
Iper cent. per annum.
Taking into consideration the abso-
lutc security of the loan, and the
high rate of interest, no better invest
ment is possible. Besides, it is the
duty of the people to sustain the
credit of the Government, and thus
patriotism and individual interest are
so combined, that no one having even
fifty or one hundred dollars to spare,
should hesitate to invest in the new
loan. I'll -.a
