A short time since we published an account
OF patriot who had three sons in the army.
two of whom were killed and the other wound
ed, and the father himself at the age of six
ty-two, was in the service as private. The
question was asked, who could beat this /?
and correspondent at South Charleston,
Clark county, Ohio, sends AZ account of Isaac
Hedrick of that vicinity, who bears off the
palm. Mr.. Hedrick had nine sons in the ar
my, Of whom two have been killed and four
wounded. One was killed at Manassas Gap,
and the other at Nashville, Tennessee. One
was wounded at Charlottesville, Virginia,
one at Stone River, one at Kinnesaw Noun
tain, aud the other in one of Kilpatrick's raids
in Georgia. The father of these pine warrior
sons is fifty-nine years of age, and has been
twice in the military service. Clark county,
Ohio, is ahead so far, and Isaac Hedrick and
bis sons stand A No. as far as we have

GRANT COUNTY The Marion Journal
says that generally the returns indicate
encouraging Democratic gains throughout
Grant county," at the late township elec-
tions.
CLINTON CoUNTY.-The official returns
from all the townships were brought in too
late to give concise statement of the re-
turns this week, but enough is known to
warrant the assertion that the Democratic
majority, compared with last October, is
ncreased.-Frd,ikJort Crescent.
ELKHART CoUNTY.-The Goshen Democrat
of the 9th says, 'as far as heard from, the
result of the election on Monday last, was
gain to the Democracy; and adds:
Here, in the stronghold of the League, the
conspirators were certain of victory. The
high cock-o'lorums of their secret conclave
were on hand all day, to dragoon voters into
their support; and all the machinery of
their cabal was used to carry theirpurposes.
But all this availed naught with the honest
yeomanry of the land, who walked up to
the polls with conscious rectitude. and de-
posted white ballot, despite the blandish-
ments of demagogues and threats of hire
lings.
Our German friends were particularly
earnest and active. and turned out ell massc
with good will, which demonstrated that
reliance may be placed upon their stability
and patriotism through this contest with
despotic power.

heard, have all gone Democratic-except

THE ELEcIIoNs.-We could scarcely de-
sire more auspicious signs of the times than
the results of the local elections In the
Northwest. These results seem to have
been an emphatic response to the grand event
of thirty thousand Democratic minority in
PENNSYLVANIA at the late. local elections in
that State. The Democratic gains almost
.everywherehave been decisive, and espec-
tally SO where the Democrats have made q

fight that deserves to win.-Ch'cago Times.

the offer is refused. When the history of

The Abolition journals haye so long rsed
falsehood i'm speaking Of McClellan's army
operations that they have either insensibly
or willfully fallen into the habit of lying
about him whenever they have occasion to
refer to him i'm relation to other matters
Thus, we are assured by these sheets that at
the Metropolitan Fair I'm New York, the
vote between the friends of Mcclellan and
Grant for costly sword on exhibition is
three to one in favor of Grant; whereas, on
the 9Th inst, the vote stood Grant 991 Nc
Clellan 1,126. Can't these gentlemen speak
of Mcclellan without uttering deliberate
falsehoods? II seems not.
1t may be remarked that the voting now
going on at the Fair has considerable sig
niflcancy. Thus far the two men who arc
in advance Of all competitors are both
Democrats. The number Of those who
would give the sword to a political General
named Fremont is three; while there are
found but two who are in favor of giving
It TO another political Abolition General
usually known as Beast Butler.
The Metropolitan Fair is visited daily by
from twenty TO forty thousand people. 1t
is the verdict Of these people that the first
military man In the nation Is Mcclellan. the
next Grant. It is also the verdict OF these
same people that Fremont, with but ore ex-

service, and that one exception, appropri-

CLARKE CoUNTY.-The Springfield Nees
says: .siN3 GlQ1 ItHbI Et
From personal observation and from in
quiry, we have ascertained something con-
cerhing wheat prospects in large portions
of Clarke county. All exposed fields are
badly winter killed. A number of these
will be plowed up and sowed with oats or
other grain. Fields which are sheltered by
woodsiOr hills look well and the late rains
have brought them out finely. In fields
which are badly injured the stalks which
are only partially destroyed are reviving.
of wheat-others think we shall have three
fourtls of crop. We prefer to adopt the
latter opinion as the most pleasant one if
not the nearest right.
MUsKISGUM COUNTY The GAINESVILLE
Courier has the following:
Perhaps never in the history of Muskin-
gum county did the prospect for q good
harvest of wheat look more unfavorable
than it did this year on the first of April.
Stunted by the drouth last fall and blast
ed by the intensely cold snap of winter, the
fields this spring presented the most gloomy
prospect. Nearly every spear was bleach
ed to whiteness, and nothing but complete
failure of the crop seemed to threaten our
farmers. But at this date the indications
are much more cheering. The late warm
rains have transformed the scene of frost
and blight into green fields and favorable
chances, unless the localities were exceed
ingly exposed to the winds. There is little
to fear for fair crop of straw, the caring
out of course being subject to the events Of
the summer season.
