The circular of Provost Marshas.G General
Fry, authorizing the acceptance Of repre-
sentatives in the army Of men not subject
TO draft, as published on the fourth page Of
this weeks CHRONICLE. is attracting very
general attention throughout the country.
and the men-and women too-of wealth,
who are not subject TO military duty are
furnishing recruits and sending them into
the army as their representatives. This
gives an excellent opportunity to the men
who are too old to enter the service. and are
anxious to do something n this war, that
will place their names on the rolls Of their
country's defenders. To such we say, fur
nish the money, and the representatives will
be found. Oiher parts Of the State are At
work in this matter, and there is no reason
why this county should MT do something
If there are any persons in Belmont
County-malc or feInale-who are willing
to contribute money for the purpose If

which they will be credited on therrolls, and
receive certificate from the Department, If

w The AMERICAN CONFLICT, BY
GREELEY. We have received the first vol
ume of this work, and feel very much like
saying word or two in its favor.
This volume contains 648 pages, and in
point of mechanical execution, is certainly
superior to any of the works yet issued. -
Over four hundred pages of this volume
are devoted to review ofthe causes that led
to the rebellion. aud the accomplishment Of
the balance of it, to an account Of the first
years operations in the field. The volume
i, written in the clear, bold, free style of
Horace Greeley, and whatever may be the
merits Of the numerous works already is
sued as histories of the Rebellion, there is
no doubt but this one will receive more at
tention and consideration from the reading
public than all The others combined. We
unhesitatingly recommend to those who
wish good reliable history Of this war, the
work of. Horace Greeley.
Rev. Joseph Woodroffe is the only suthor-
ICED agent in this county, and persons wish
ing the work can obtain it at any time from
him. Price per volume cloth, So, so. EN-
bossed or plain leather, $500.

DIED-On Sabbath morning. the 10th

of +. Il. Kennon, Esq, and daughter Of
Lewis Sutton.
Born of rious parrntage, she was early
taught the truth as it is in Jesus These sa.
cred lessons left their marx. Her early
conservation to God in baptism, followed
with incessant wntchIulnpss and prayer,
soon brought the subject ofthiS notice in
contact with the grace Of Christ, and she
was caily made child of Jesus. She con-
secrated herself to God BY public profess
sion. and from that day till the day of her
death, none ever doubted her piety. True
10 her vow, she ever strived 10 be useful in
her sphere. Her place in the saDctuary, at
the communicable, and at the prayer
meeting was never vacant unless hindered
by sickness. Her piety was steady, her
walk consistenr, her zeal ardent. Her.only
desire 10 live was that she might do more
for Christ When sickness prostrated her.
and she saw that it was the purpose Of God
to call her away, she submitted with all
The composure OF an obedient loving child.
Her faith was strong-hcr hope lively du-
ring her protracted sickness; expressing
again and again willingness to depart
whenever it was the pleasure Of Gnd. Her
sufferings toward the last were intensely Sc
we're; but she endured all without a muir
mnr. At last. calmly and sweetly she fell
asleep in Jesus. iN. .-
This loved one will be much missed
among us. Who will fill her place in tire
sanctuary and at the prayer-meeting May
God comfort the little family circle. now

1SEcRET SOCIETIES. Copper
heads are organizing secret societies all over
this county. Meetings we're held in several
townships during the pastweek. and organi-
cations formed, the nature and object OF
which we have not yet fully ascertained.-
We know the men who are prominently en-
gagged in getting up this organization are
our most bitter and vindictive Copperheads,
and are in favor OF any and all measures
that will embarrass the Government, aid
the Rebsllion. or in any manner prevent its
suppression.
We have heard some talk, lately, that
resistance Of the draft was intended, but
from the cowardly character of the chiefs
,Sf this new movement, we arprehend but
little danger on that score, for they are not
the kind Of men who expose themselves to
danger fSr the accomplishment Of any pur-
pose. They may, however, succeed in de-
ceiving others, with more courage and less
Judgment, into the preparation of such
an act, but we think, unless they intend to
.ct iu concert With some contemplated John
Morgan movement, they will never openly
.t,em Mt a ny resistance Of the laws.
W. think these organizations have special
rof.reuee b, the pending political campaign
and are in.euIed, by a combination Of the
...h.l influence, to deceive thecreddlous,ovsr

fE-TuE Board Of Directors Of the
Central Ohio Railroad Company; have re.
commended to the creditors and stockhold-
ers plan for the adjustment and capi,ali
zation Of the indebtedness and stock Of the
Company, in accordance with the act bf the
General Assembly Of the State Of Ohio,
passed March, 1868 The present debt and
stock OF the Road amounts to 49,665, 900,
and the fact that Of that amount over e.
900, 900 is accrued interest on the original
debt and stock is evidence and argument
enough to satisfy every one interested that
the Road is not only unable to pay its liz.
bilities. but must ultimately, and that be.
fore lang, be sold to pay the interest and
principal Of the pSefr.ed claims.
A reorganization upon new and dimin
ished basis OF debt and stock, il is claimed,
may save the Road. and eventually make il
a dividend paying company. In its present
share everybody knows it is not, and can.
not be paying institution. There is no
risk, therefore, in adopting the plan sug-
gested by the Directors, for if they are mis-
taken in their hopes Of making it pay
Ing affair, the stockholders and creditors will
be in no worse condition than they are now.
BY advertisement at the head Of this COL
uun it will be seen that agree ments for

gentlemen in this county, to be signed by
the stockholders, and those interested may
learn all about the matter by calling on

ssrTaE WAEELINa SANITARY FAIR
We attended and Witnessed tht closing of
the Wheeling Sanitary Fair, on Saturday.
It is altogether unnecessary for us to tell
about what We saw there, for We presume
almost all of ourreaders looked in on it
during the two weeks it was in progress,
and know all about it, but We must bear
testimony to the unselfsh zeal with which
the Union people Of Wheeling prosecuted
il to the end. Many of the merchants,
during al this time, never went to their
stores st all, but left their books and goods
to be managed nj by otherG and gave their
whole time to the sacred and glorious pur-
pose for which the Fair was inaugurated
The ladies', too, worked like heroes, and a
large degree of the success attendant upon
the Fair is due to their efforts. ..a1 arn
The receipts, We understand, will foot up
some $4,000 or $4,000.

For the purpose ofpiacing the CnRos-
rcLE, during the Campaign, In the hands
of every body who wishes to read q
Union paper, nnd thereby furnish ar.
guments and documents to be used in
the pending contest, we have concluded
to establish special campaign rates,
and furnish it, Notwithstanding the
great advance in paper, labor, and
everything else required to publish
newspaper--at the same rates we fur
nished 1t last year II is now Is weeks
until the end Of the campaign, or the
first issue Of our paper after the Pres
idential election, and we will furnish 1t
at SO cents to single subscribers, or ten
copies for "a 90. e,,,tl rr.e.f .,.
We have placed our figures low, with
the hope that the Union men of the
County will take hold of the matter,
and place the CHRoNrcLE in the hands
of every voter in the County. There
should be committee appointed in
each Township to secure subscribers,
and where men are too poor or too in
different to subscribe, the committee
should see that the paper is placed in
their hands, gratuitously, if necessary.
A few dollars contributed and expend-
ed in this way will accomplish more in
a catnpaign than the same amount
would accomplish in any other way.
The shemy are at work in earnest,
circulating documents, holding secret
meetings, and extending the circulation
Sf their County paper, with the view
of auietly getting the advantage in the
contest before the Union Party gets
harnassed for the fight If we would
deserve success. we must get to work.
The Importance of the contest must be
apparent to all, and neglect to use
the means necessary to make success
certain, when such fearful consequences
are involved in the issue, would be a
reflection not only upon our patriotism,
but upon our honesty also.
Now, let every mani in the County
get to work at once, and not leave this
campaign, with all its important re-
suits, rest upon the efforts Of few in
dividuals in the County. You are all
interested: the Nation is interested;
the world is interested: posterity is
interested: and you are Unworthy Of
the name and undeserying Of the ben
Gifts of OF, American oitizan, IL IN this
contest you fail to do your duty.
