The future? Go not into its secrets, oh, my

HOLD FAsT.-IIold fast is good motto
when you have good hold Of something
that needs holding 1t does not follow
however, that the holder is always right
The abolitionists have hold of the Govern
ment, and this reminds us of little story:
"Once upon time a blacksmith's boy was
raising a bull pup, and being anxious to
teach his youthful canine pupil the impor-
tant lesson of holding fast, he induced the
old man to get down on all fours and had
the pup take him by the ear The son dis
regarding the parental raving, exclaimed,
hold him Bull, hold him! Bear it old man,
beart it; it may be hard on you, but it will
be the making of the pup.
1t matters not how much the liberties of
the people are destroyed, how many new
made graves are digged, how heavily taxa
ton oppresscs US, how burdensome the
public debt-po, it matters not if the last
ray OF hope for restoring the Union, fol-
preserving the Government, for bringing
peace to this disintegrated land is forever
gone, SO abolitionists retain their hold up
on Office, upon the Treasury, upon thi
niggcr 1t is the making of them, though
| it be the death of all else. For one, W,
think it rather an expensive way of educa
ting the abolition pup, and we are fo
breaking their hold.

ALL FOR McCLELLAN.-Nearly all the
soldiers we have talked to on the subject,
and it is goodly number, have declared
their preference for General MCCLELLAN
for the Presidency. They think, and cor
rectly, too, that if Little Mac had had
his own way the war would now be ended
and the Union restored. Gen, MCCLELLAN
fought for the Constitution and the Union,
and most of the soldiers prefer fighting for
these to risking their lives for the freedom
of the niggers.

Deserter Shot.

Mr.. Thomas Christman, of Ross town
ship, in this county, was shot and almost IN
stantly killed, on Monday night last. Itap
pears that Thomas was a deserter from the
army, and that on the evening in question.
several of the cavalrymen stationed at this
place, surrounded the house in which he was
residing, preparatory to arresting him. After
placing one of their number as guard at
the door, the rest of the men entered the
house and made inquiry for Christman, who
was secreted behind the door. While the
questions concerning him were being asked
and answered, Thomas, with axe in hand
sprang out, struck at the guard, but fortu-
nately missed him, and made for the noun
tain. The cavalryman Immediately started
in pursuit, and repeatedly called on him to
stop, which he refused to do, Several shots
were then fired at him, one of which took
effect in his head, and caused his death al
most instantly.
While the cavalrymen were in search of
deserter in Lehman township, Pike Co.,
on Thursday night last, Mr.. Jacob Cortright.
drafted man who had not reported, as was
his duty, fearing that he was the man wan
ted, made a desperate effort to place a
swamp, in the neighborhood, between him
self and the soldiers. He, too, was repeat
edly ordered to stop, but paid no heed to the
orders, when he was fired OH, and received
a severe flesh wound in one of his shoulders.
We are pleased to learn that his wound is
rapidly healing.
We have heard rumors of another affray
between the cavalrymen and deserter in
Pike county, in which it is alleged that one
of the soldiers received flesh wound in the
leg, and that the deserter was shot in the
hip, but we have as yet received no well au-
thenticated account of the trsnssction.
These cases should be sufficient TO con-
vince all of the extreme folly of attempting
to resist the military officers in the prompt
execution of their duty. 1t is right that de-
serters should be arrested and returned TO
the service, which they legitimately owe
their country. The preservation of the
Government requires this, and those at the
head of affairs are determined that it must
be done. The laws of the land make resis-
lance to or interference with the military au-
thorites punishable with death. The de-
serters well know this, and if knowing it.
they are still bent upon resistance, their
blood must be upon their own heads.
