Horrors OF the Draft.

The Indiana Banner relates shocking
instance Of the terror produced by the
draft: ~
"Mrs. John Eastwick, the wife of a
respectable farmer, was the mother of
seven children, all boys. In the early
part of tho war two of these enlisted, and
served with Buell. in Kentucky. One of
them, the eldest Ezra, died of exposure
in camp, and his brother, Thomas, soon
afterward suffered an amputation of the
right leg. from injuries received in cav
alry skirmish. These casualties operated
upon Mrs. Eastwiek's mind to such a
degree that she lost all fortituds and
presence of mind, and sat during whole
days weeping and full of forebodings
Among her premonitions was a curious
one, that her third son, Stark, would also
die in battle. As the war advanced and
|conscription begun Mrs. Eastwick s fears
grew intense"
Her mind at length became disordered
and she resolved TO mutillate her son so
that he shoald not be accepted for the
military service. She held burning coal
close to his eyes while he slept, and the
optic nerve was destroyed without more
than momentary pain to the victim. He
is now entirely blind, and the mother is
still deranged and melancholy.

A Humbug's Nest,


The Abolition papers are spreading be-
fore their readers under the most stun
ming headings pretended disclosure of a
conspiracy to overthrow the Government,
and establish q Western Cenfederaey in
alliance with the South, 1t is manufac-
tured by knaves to be believed by fools.
The secret order which is to attempt
this frightful plot is christened ''Ordsr of
American Knights" and is solemly affirm
ed to number six hundred and forty thou
sand in the six States of Missouri, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and New
York, besides something less than the
fetal population in the other loyal States.
Of course Vallandigham is at the head
of this deviltry. He was installed as
Supreme Commander of the Northern
Section while sojourning in Richmond.
The story is slightly spoiled by the fact
that Vallandigham was not in Richmond
at ALI asa @
This is the most unreasonable falsehood
that tho plundersrs have yet hatched out
to assist them in securing another four
years lease on the treasury. Its object
is to furnish Lincoln with pretext for
throwing prominent Democrats into dun
|geons to keep them out of the way till
after the election.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-It is general
ly understood that Early's force in the
Shenandoah valley is $4,000. Military
movements are being made to make him
change his position speedily.
A speeiai to the Gazette, dated Nash

the front reports the following as the re-
suit of Stoneman's raid on the Macon rail-
road: Stoneman's force consisted of Gen
Ed. MeCook's division eff cavalry, com.
posed of Longs and one other brigade
The Macon road was torn up for IL miles

zen, and subjected him to the irrepressi-
bic tyranny of military violence.
He has rendered the military superior
to the civil power.
The people, trained to submission to
the authorities, have patiently submitted
to these repeated wrongs
But with all these outrages upon the
rights of the people, combined with the
assaults of 2,500'0G0 men, who have at
different times entered the service, the re-
bellion has not been put down, and the
South stands day as determined and
defiant as ever.
We believe that the people Of the South
would to-day consent to a restoration of
the Union under the Constitution, and
that the only obstacle in the way of a
peaceable settlement of all difficulties, is
the determination OF the President to
destroy slavery, and to elevate the negro
to position in society which the God of
nature never intended him to occupy.
We consider that every life hereafter
lost in this most atrocious war will be a
deliberate murder, and every dollar wrung
from the pockets Of the taxpayer to fur
berry.
In view of these facts we therefore
1. Resolve, That justice and humanity
demand the immediate cessation of hostil-
tiles and the adoption of peace measures
as the only hope Of the people.
2. That we remonstrate against any
further draft upon the able bodied men Of
the country to assist in prolonging war
that we believe to be uncalled for and
superlatively wicked.
3. That the people should not be re-
qu:rsd to take up arms in the defense o.
government that refuses to protect them
in their ri ghts.
4. That we pray the President of tht
United States to revoke his order for
conscription, and we call upon the people
throughout he State to hold meetings anc
petition for peace and redress OF thei1
grievances.

The Democrats ofglorious Old Monroe
have nominated 6rstrate ticket which
they will elect by the largest majority ever
given in that good and ever reliable strong
hold Of Democracy. Here it is:
For Auditor, Michael Hocffier; Clerk
Jere. Williams; Recorder, Daniel O'Cen-

Mr.. Hoeffier is the present Auditor, and
a most excellent officer he is. Col Will

faithfully dlscharging every duty receiving
always the highest concentrations from
superiors as we'll as from the gallant boys
of his regiment. He will make very eff

Messrs. Mann and Baker will discharge

Coming TO Their Senses.

The N. Y. Round Table, a literary
p,per Of war prochvities which exhibits
somo candor in its discussion of politl-
cal questions, says:
IF the opposition Ito the administra-
ton go before the people with the prom
ise Of an honorable settlement of the war
and partial or complete restoration OF
the Union. in the event Of It's success at
the polls, there can be no doubt as to the
result of the Presidential election"
The more honest Abolitionists do not
deny that very strong tide has set in
against Lincoln. Shoddy, corruption,
dospotism, plundersrs and blunderers
must all come down in heap.

Preparing an Excuse for
Military Law i'm the West.

Old Abe has spies and pimps rowing
around the country to smell out treason.
They infest every locality, and their busl-
ness is to rife the mails in search of trea-
sonable correspondence, to intrude them
selves into every secret organization, to
cavedrop at key holes, and do such other
despicable work as this corrupt admin
lstration may desire. These Infamous
wretches must OF course make big show
ing of their achievements to satisfy their
employers that they are earning their
greenbacks-that they are as dirty and
devoted as could be desired. They adver-
tise themselves as "perjurers to let > by
publishing oaths of secresy to which they
claim to have sworn on the Holy Evan.
gelists in the presence of Almighty God,
and append to this the secrets which they
claim to have sworn never to reveal.
A little squirt named Darlington, who
was appointed Colonel and afterward
Brigadier General, without ever having
smelt powder, and whose jaws were slap
ped on the streets of Columbus for his
lieing, has been engaged for months in
preparing swill-tub full of pretended
reasonable revelations, now brings them
out with a tremendous flourish of capital
letters and sensation headings.
What is their object in trumping up
evidence to prove the existence of con-
spiracy?
It is simply this, nothing less: Old
Abe sees the Western States slipping from
him. He cannot carry them at the Prasi-
Dental election, and he is thus preparing
an encuse for carrying them ,cith bayonets
at the poll boees, by declaring martial la'o
