shall was murdered by some person or per
sons unknown, The House of Represent
atiyes of the Ohio Legislature passed a
resolution authorizing the Governor to offer
reward of five thousand dollars for the ap-
prchension aud conviction of the person OF
persons guilty of the crime. This is the
first instance in which the Ohio Legislature
has attempted to bring murderers to pun,

One Of the Abolition States.

There arc in New Orleans four Licuten,
ants, four Sergeants and one private of po-
lice force, who hold seats and draw pay as
members Of the Louisiana Legislature. We
understand that the Governor" of Louis

same time he will continue to hold the po-
sition of United States Senator, and receive
the regular salaries Mayor Hoyt only

Loyal Mode OfRaIsins Rounties

The loyal people OF the Western Reserve
have a peculiar way Of securing money tc
procure enistments. 4 few days ago, neal
Hudson, party proceeded to the residence
of man who refused to contribute, and
who was exempt from draft by reason OF
having wooden leg, for the purpose of ex-
torting money from him. The money was
refused, and the loyal mobites deliberately
sawed off his wooden leg, procured rope
and threatened to hang him, and to save
his life, he gave them S225.
One day last week, money was demanded
from on old man named GRAHAM, in Cuya-
hoga county, and after he refused it, mob
of twenty to his residence and attempt
I'd to drive off a lot of sheep to make the
money out Of GRAHAM shot two of the
scoundrcls, whercupon he was arrested and
Is now in prison.
What terrible state of affairs we have,
when men vote for war and couscription and
boldly commit personal violence and robbery
to keep themselves out of the ranks of tn,
army.
A few more years of Abolition rule anc
the whole country will be- outlawcd, no bright
will be respected, no security will be givcl
to person or property, the laws will be use
less in protecting the weak against the en-
croachmcnts Of the strong.

the state Convention, Candt-
dates. etc.

The Democratic press of Ohio is pretty
unanimous for an early convention and a
vigorous campaign The Democracy feel
that there is no hope for the country, no
salvation for constitutional liberty, except
through the success Of our time honored
party, and that success can onlyb be obtained
BY the most persevcring industry.
Among the candidates prominently named
for Governor are, c.. l.. VALIANDIGHAM,
WILLIAM ALLEN, GEORGE II: PENDLEToN,
GEoRGE W. MORGAN and RUFUS p. RAN
NEY. They are all excellent men, and We
can cheerfully support any one of them after
nominated.
We are tied to no man for nomination for
Governor, but we want men nominated by
the State convention for al the offices who
are reliable and unfaltering Democrats. We
hope to see men placed upon the ticket who
have earned reputation in the Democratic
party by working for its success. We desire
to support men because they are Democrats
and the more Demociacy there is in then
the greater the triumph in the event of ou
success. Men who have periled their live
and their liberty in talking, writing an,
working for the Democratic party during
the last foureventful years are surely yentitlec
to moro consideration at our hands thar
those who have been silent spectators in the
terrible struggle between Democracy anc
Despotsm
Although the nomination of VALLAN
DIGHAM and PUGI, two years ago, resulted
in defeat at the election, the boldnoss and
vigor with which the campaign was con
Quoted did more for tie Democratic party
than anything that has transpired for tn
last four years. 1t was the grandcst anc
most successful effort in behalf the libcrt,
and rights Of white men that has been mad
since the withcring blight of of Abolition
dominion has fallen upon the country.
Place men on the Democratic ticket VIII

and spirit which deserves success, and thei

The iubilation of the enemy over the fall

years, and an overwhelming prcponderancc
of land and naval forces is equal to that of

4 Glance at the Future--What
the North Will do with the
south I'm Case Of GSubjugatiOn.

From the luchmond WhiS, March 2.
He who does not see that the future his
tory of the United States, should the South
fail in this struggle, is to be history of war
until Yankee ambition is crushed by defeat
or the American continent is subiugatcd by
Yankees, is incapable of seeing anything. -
The only possible obstacle TO this melan
choly future of strife in an age supposed to
be conSecrated to the arts of peace, is the
independence Of the southern confederacy
1t is with the resources OF these states that
the Yankees expect to fight their battles
with England for Canada, aud with France
for Mexico. If there are any among us who
believe the submission TO the North would
restore peace to us, they are, indeed, de-
ceiycd, Instead of fighting the Yankees in
defense of our homes, aud our rights, we
should be forced to fight England in Can
ada, France in Mexico, and Spain in Cuba.
We should endure the double MISERY of
losing our honor and our independence,
while forced 10 sacrifice ourselves on the altar
of Yankee vanity and ambition. While the
soldiers OF Grant aud Sherman would return
to peaceful homes or settle upon the contis-
Gated lands of the South, the soldiers of Lee
and Beaurogard would be fighting to plant
/ the Yankee flag on the frozen waters of the
st. Lawrence or on the burning plains o
Mexico. We should be in the armies of oul
Yankee masters precisely what the Irish art
in the armies of England and the llunga
rians in the armies of.Austria,

All thc Rebels Asked for was
I'm ArmiStiCe.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York HeroW speaking in manner
which leads us to regard what he says as
authorativc, says
There is no truth whatever in the state
mcnt extensively circulated that the rebel
commissioners demanded recognition, and
refused to enter into negotiations except on
that basis. The whole question of peace
and the views Of the two sections were
talked over in general way. Stephens
and associates did not in all this general
conversation intimate whether they would
or would not accept any thmg else but re-
cogniton and independence. What they
did say was that they did not desire to fly
any ultimatum as a starting point, they ask
ed that commissioners, vested with full
powers to treat on peace, should be appoin
an armsticc while negotiations were pend
ing. This was the sum and substance q
their demand, which they claimed wa
necessary to work their peoplcupto the poin
of reunion or any other demand of tn
federal government.
MIR. LTNCoLN's THREE POINTS.
The President and Mr., Seward refused t
grant an armistice for IL single day. Nh
Lincoln informed them that there wer
three points which he would not yield
|. That no armistice would be granite
for single day.
>. That united country was the onl
basis which peace could be obtained. Res
toration of the Union and full obedience t
the laws by the people of the Souther
States were the sine 4ua NON.
g. That the action of Congress in re
gard to slavery should be recognized as tn
laws of the land meaning in this the con
sti,utonal amendment.
If the above statement be true, and W,
have no reason to disbcievc single wore
of it, Mr. Lincoln must be held responsi
Bile for the continuance of the war; and iol
all the bloodshed and misery that must flow
from it. If men high in position among
the rebels made any such statements and
offers, we believe peace on fair and honora
BILE terms was within our grasp, and tha
it wasdelibcratoly rejected by Abraham Lin
coin. Tho account given by tho CORES
pondcnt of the Herald agrees precisely will
the statements from Richmond sources.

From the Richmond Examiner, March p
There are always timid and short sighted
people who in critical emergencies, are
afraid or incapable Of looking a possible
danger full in the face, and of taking timely
measures for meeting an impending cmcr-
goncy. 1t is to be hoped that the present
general assembly are not thus stricken with
judicial blindness. Threatening dangers
cannot be averted by closing the eyes firmly
upon them. Children may drive away ghosts
by this helpless expodient, but the duty of
responsible men, charged with great public
interests threatened with danger, cannot be
discharged thus cheaply or summarily. II
Is high time that Somethhag ,ccre doing to
pr0rjde for tie protcctiOn and preservation
Of the interests and institutions Of FIrgihiu
against the dGngers Whtch Mreaten them. -
This can only be done regularly, author
itativeiy, and eifcctually BY calling into ac-
ton the supreme powers of the common
wealth. Nearly all the states to the south
of us are adopting this measure, and there
is no one of them which is under so impera-
tive n necessity for doing so as Virginia. 1t
is certain that if she herself does not take
care of her interests, they will not be looked
after by any other guardian. and the Ques-
tion is whether the welfare of the Virginia
people is to be provided for by her govern
ment while opportunity remains, or finally
sacrificed with the same calous Indifference
with which it has been so long neglected.
