sUBsTITUTEs.

There is a call for 100000 more mon
to try their fate among rebel bullets down
in Dixie. We presume there are but few
in Ashland county who desire to go in
person if drafted, and we would advise
them to call on L. JEFF. SPRENGLE, the
Shylock editor of the Ashland Times,
the only Tory sheet in the county, and
make arrangements to procure substitutes
in the next forty days. JEFF's an expert
in the bounty business and we have no
doubt 70 his ability to do good fnancier.
ing in the business of procuring substi-
tutes. Boil up, ye conscripts, any way at
all, 70 you get up, and patronize the
wooden rebel of Ashland. He'll do q
good job, gobble up all your money, cheat
you out of your soul, if he can make
money out of it, and then go to church
and take the Sacrament Of the Lords
Supper. He's a captain in finances. His
head is a little soft on the top where it
oughtn't to be, but sufficiently hard, in
connection with his heart, to swindle a
poor soldier out of his bounty, and cause
his little ones to cry for bread.

ABOLITION rREACnEnx.

Ace LINCOLN, in his inaugural, on the
4th Of March, 1851, said
h"I have no purpose, directly or indi-
rectly, to interfere with slavery in the
States where it exists. I BELIEVE !
HAVE NO LAWFUL RIGHT TO DO so, AND
1,HAVE NO INCLINATION TO DO So"
The above extract and more too can be
seen by any n who will take the trouble
to read over the inaugural of Honest Old
ABE. It stands as a record of his dis
honesty and treachcry with the American
people and more especially the Democrat,
10 party. 1t is common for Abolitionists
to call every body "traitors" and "Cop.
perheads" who do not vote for, and con.
tinuc to support their, theories. With
such a record of professions compared
with the imbecile, Pickering course of the
Administration, we are utterly amazed
that men can have the audacity to claim
any merit for the Old Bufoon, or Islander
others for not thinking him a pink of per
lection. His record makes him the greet
est scoundrel and villain Of the age, anG
such he is without qualification.

SUBSCRIBE FOR THE UNION.

We are about entering upon one of the
most important political campaigns the
American people ever witnessed; made
more so from the fact that not only the
preservation of a political party and its
maintenance in power is at stake, but also
the liberties of the people and the saliva
tion Of the country. It is the duty Of
every Democrat, in Ashland county, 10
view of these facts, to subscribe for the
UNION Immediately, and use every exer.
ton in his power to see that his neigh
Dor subscribes also. Without a county
organ our party organization must fall to
pieces and be left to the mercies of a re-
lentiess foe Without the patronage of
the party it cannot be supported at the
present high rates of publishing. There
are from five to seven hundred Democrat
10 voters in the county who take no coun-
~ paper at all, who by all means should
subscribe at once. Send up the names,
and assist in increasing our list to two
thousand at the earliest day. A newspa-
per is the cheapest thing that can be
bought now days, and is within the reach
Of every n at this time.

Cincinnati, July "A.

The Gazette's correspondent under date
of Atlanta, Ga, 22d, gives full and high.
ly interesting details of the ents OF
Sherman's army since crossing the Chat
tahoochie.
On the morning of the 18th, the line
advanced, Mcpherson taking position on
the extreme left, Schofeld on left center,
Howard in. center, Hooker right center
and Palmer extreme right. e.II
On the morning of the 18th, our ad-
vance reached Beach Troe Greek, a stream
running four miles north of Atlanta, af.
tor considerable skirmishing. The enemy
partially dislcdged and portions of How.
ards Corps crossed our left. In the
meantime swinging round to the Atlanta
and Augusta Railryad near Decauter, and
tearing up several miles of track.
On the evening of the 10Th and on the
morning of the Goth, Howard, Hooker
and Palmer crossed with the balance OF
their Corps, forming a line all. along the
south bank of the Creek.
At 8 P. NJ. the rebels made a desper.
ate and sudden assault on Howard in
great force. Fighting soon extended to
Hooker's corps, advancing three lines
deep. A portion of the line at first wa.
vercd at the first onset, but were quickly
rallied and stood firm as a rock. Upon
this line was massed over half the entire
rebel army, both parties fighting for the
time in the campaign in open field. Be
fore dark the rebels were entirely de-
feated, having failed to break our lines
at any point, and retreated in disorder,
leaving their dead on the field. Our loss
will reach 1000, principally from Hook
er's corps. The rebel loss in killed,
wounded and missing exceeds 5000, in
Guiding three Brigadier Generals.
On the extreme left, operations were
entirely successful, Mcpherson driving
the enemy several miles. Blair advanc.
imp one mile and a half south of Augusta
ZION the morning of the 2lst, the enc
works around Atlanta. On the 22d
they had Withdrawn entirely from Hook
er's and Palmer's front. At 2 o'clock p
81. of that day, portions of our army en-
tered the city. -aa-s
The correspondent adds: We ma
have some fighting for full possession O
the city, but the campaign is considered
substantially closed. 15a

The Congress which has Just adjourned,
appropriated only the trifing little sum
of one thousand millions of douars-noth-
ing more. This SUM the people will pay
with the greatest of pleasure, and thank
King Abe for giving them the privilege.
About one half of this sum will be stolen,
as that proportion of all appropriations
under this administration is allowed for
government thieves. One half of the
balance win be economically used for the
purpose of re-electing LINCOLN to the
Presidency = leaving S250,000,000 for
legitimate or.rather elligitimate purposes.
The people can form some idea of how
their money goes, if they but for a mo-
ment look at the matter. We live in a
fast age-every thing is done by steam
now days including printing. Were it
not so, it would require all the men, wo-
men and children outside of the army, by
the old hand-prass msthed of printing, to
print greenbaoks as fast as shoddy contrac-
tors could steal and gobble them up. But
steam does the matter up in a bury
Could we but reverse the operation, and
pay off the enormous public debt which
is hanging over our heads, by steam, as
We have contracted it, what a success it
would be. But such Improvements are
yet undeveloped, and it only remains for
the laboring classes to console themselves
with the fact that the four thousand mil
lions of debt-of abolition contracting, for
the prosecution of an abolition war and
the destruction of our country-must be
paid out of their hard earnings, and is a
mortgage lien on their bones and sinews
aud those of their children and children's
children for the mex ten generations.
How gratifying it is to look upon the
picture ; we nave not been called upon
yet to respond to this Ubiquitous and frau
dulant claim. We are sleeping while it
is accumulating, and will sleep %unconcern-
ed till the startling thunders of bankrupt
cy, peal after peal, strike upon our ears
and awaken us to a sense of our unhappy
condition. The day CT our trial and afaic-
tions is yet to come-and then if not be-
fore, those who have done It will learn
the folly of their ways in supporting an
Abolition Administration, whose only
MERIT is despotism and population. If
you are bound to ruin the country, and
assist in forging chains to enslave your
selves, then vote for ABRAHAM AFRICAN
Us b sar-aaether term as President;
for with his past success, he can most as
suredly complete the Abolition program
me in four years moro.
