Who is Commanding The troops in Column
bia county and what are they doing? They
seem to be he7e for 10 other purpose than
TO arrest Democrats, take them away, and
keep them from voting Previous to the
election several arrests were made in the
county, Of men drafted in the nine months
service, as well as the arrest o. tour or FIVE
citizens! In Sugarloaf township, we are
credibly informed, David Lewis ard Eze-
kieI Cole were arrested on The erening before
The election, taken into camp, and held as
prisoners until the election was over, when
they were released and told that they could
go home, that nothing more was required
OF Them. We would again ask, who is
commanding ali Ibis kind of work? Is il
the work Of General Couch, or is it The will
and bidding of a lew OF the leading fanatics
o! this county? II seems to as that The
LATER is the case, when civil and peaceable
Democrats, like Messrs. Lewis and Cole,
are arrested under the circumstances above
described, held till after an election, and
then re ieased without ever The shadow OF a
trial or showing that there were any charges
against them What, fellow-citizens, can
we think Of such conduct! Does the adj
minisiralion approve OF such actions on the
part OF their officers? We rather think not.
They abuse and magnify their little power !

In the late election the Democracy have
elected 10 TIE neiehborhood of fourteen
Congressman out OF twenty four. In this
district we lose Pioliet by about two hum
bred votes. This is a strong Abolition dis
lrict, bit the popularity of our candidate
coupled with The good cause he was en-
gagged in has cut down their large boosted
majority 10 a mere figure. The Abolitiou-
lists for a time felt that their man was lost
in the fog however when The smoke blew
away he was just seen and hat was all.
Had the campaign lasted a week longer,
and a lew more stump speeches been made
by The Opposition, Col. Piollet would have
beeu our next Congressman. He is the
man this district should have to represent
them The people have chosen Otherwise,
and we fear they will ere long regret il.
Mr. Mercur's Abolition ideas are thick and
plenty, and he delights ia pro~mulgaling
them, even al a time ike this. The people
of this district are yet partially white, aud
are opposed TO The m%iscegenaiiou doctrines.

MoHE TYRANNY. The most tyrannicaI
and arbitrary outrage committed lately by
any Get of men, either civil or otherwise,
was the act perpeiraied on the ORANGEvlLLE
ACADEMY: a few days since, by the military
in This comfy. The school was visited BY
we understand, by a fanatic or two Of that
place, and the Principal, J.. B. Patton, in
formed tina: he must evacua;e the building,
take out the seats with all his fixtures, with
in such a length of time, or they would be
thrown out. This was accordingly done,
AMI the Academy taken possession Of by
the military, aud turned inIo a hospital,
while there were other buildings in the
which would have answered every pur-
pose, without interfering with the AGA
denny. II looks very much ike the work
of a little partisan malice on the par oil
certain citizens OF that place. This school
has been called in our presence a "Demo-
cratic Institution" y, but We will guarantee 10
any one that Ptof Patton does not atlemp,
20 teach politics in his school. Would that
we could say so much for the other Institu-
ton, under the control Of Professor Walker.
This turning a public or private school into
The street, and taking charge of the build
Jog by the military, is the most high-hand-
ed act that has been perpeirated in this
county By LincoIn's soldiers, and nay Il be
the last.

carriage Sunday of John Clay of Water
street, and rode into the country. Du
ring their sojourn in the rural districts
they became somewhat intoxicated and
misused the useful animal which they
drove. On their return last evening Mr..
VIM. Clay demonstrated with these mill
tary Jehus in regard to the condition OF
the horse, when one of them struck him
a severe blow with the whip on his fore
head, cutting a severe cash. A row i'm
mediately ensued, some tmo hundred per-
sons coming together to view the sport.

a pony for kiss but the mean old cur
mudgeon after receiving the oscilliatory

William was proverbally a home boy
but little known beyond the family and
neighborhood, and yet possessing in a
large measure those traits of manly, vir-
tuous character which secured for him
the respect and friendship of those who
knew him. Next TO Him who is the

were looking TO William as the stay and

the father and son the covenant had been
signed and sealed that secured TO the lat.

while the endearmen;s of home, business
and worldly interest, fond parents and
affectionate friends, were all saying "stay

ear a louder call-that Of his country.
Rebellion and treason he could not brook
and hence became a willing offering to
bear the shafts of war against the nations
foe. His fidelity in the cause so dear to-
his heart, and the estimation in which be
was held by his superior officers and SOL
diers, will be best seen in an extract of a
letter from Capt. NJ. w. Davis, dated
near Petersburg, Va, June 18th:
