ere. But now that the business has
become a sensation, there is class
of men who have taken advantage of
this fact to drive sharp bargains with
uniniormed farmers, passing off up
on them rs first class, animals which
have been rejected from respectable
flocks in the East, on account Of some
not very obvious faults of style or
breeding.
Many people who are thus imposed
upon have only themselves TO blame
for not being better informed, often
neglecting to learn through the me-
dium of their county, or some ogri-
cultural paper, the tricks and traps
which are set in their way.
But the great fault-amounting to
great sin in this business. is the
bold effrontery of mprinciplcd men,
generally from the East, who pick up
the culls and least desirable animals,
which can be got ut low price, bring
them TO Ohio, and peddle them of as
pure bred and choice stock. This
kind Of trade is neither legitimate or
honest, and we warn the people OF
this vicinity that 1t is practised among
US.
Some of these ram pedlars are the
most unconsionable liars that are per-
mitted to go at large in our State.--
They will tell you that such sheep
was got by Sweepstakes of one OF
Mr. Hammond's best ewes. Why,
Mr.. Hammond would no more toler.
ate one of these scamps about his
premises than he would mad dog /;
much less sell them as any oi his
stock. The good breeders in Yer
mont do not go out 10 peddle sheep,
nor do they fellowship those who do
thus go out.
The enormous gains which these
ram pedlars cap are sufficient temp.
tation TO bring into the trade class
of men who ought TO be above such
rsscality. We do not object to large
prices Tor first class stock; but when
pedlar takes handsome grade ram
for which he paid fifteen dollars, and
sells him for pure bred ram at one
hundred dollars, he deserves to he
marked as knave; and this is the
practice Of great many sheep ped
lars.
Ohio, more than any other State at
this time, is the rallying ground OF
these wool gatherers, who flock to
this field, dispose OF their culls and
fag- ends at high prices, and return to
boast of their i'll deserved gains
We have tracked them TO their holes,
and learned their nefarious practises,
and now warn our wool growers to
beware OF the whole race OF ram ped
lars, or at least, to deal with them
with their eyes open, as they would
with professional horse jockey, for
the honest men among them are
scarce.

SolunDuS, MAY =, loOJ.
In view of the Affections of Divine Provi.
dence upon the nation, the President of the
United States has designated Thursday, the
lst day of June next, as day of humiliation
and mourning, and recommending "that our
people, on that day, in their respective places
of worship, unite in solemn service to Almigh-
ty God, in memory of the good man who has
been removed so that all shall be occupied at
the same time in contemplation of his virtues,
and sorrow for his sudden and violent end
Fully concurring with His Excellency, the
President, in this measure, l do recommend
to the people of the State of Ohio, united
and solemn observance of the same; that all
places of business be closed, and that the day
be observed as Sabbath of the Nation; that
all our people unite, not only in humiliation
before the Lord, and contemplation of the
services and virtues of the great and good
man who has been taken away from us, but in
earnest prayer that Almighty God will sanctify
this great affliction to us as nation and a
people: that in his wise providence He will
rule all these things for our good and that He
will strengthen and guide our present rulers,
and endow them with wisdom to conduct the
nation to peace and unity again.
In witness, whereof, have hereunto set my
hand, the day and year first above written.

By the Governor.

The Assassination i'm Europe.

Point Au Basque, May 6, via Calais, May
1.-The Canadian steamship Hibernian, from
Liverpool on the 9th, via. Londonderry on
the 2Sth, passed this point at $50 this after
noon, en- route to Quebec.
In the House of Lords, on Thursday night,
Lord Russell, and in the House of Commons
Sir George Grey, on behalf of Lord Palmer
ston, gave notice that they would, on the first
of May, move an address to the Qpeenex
pressing sorrow and Indignation at the assas-
snation of President Lincoln, and praying
her to convey that expression of feeling to the
American Government
Two great meetings were.hcld in Liverpool,
which, after appropriate speeches had been
delivered adopted unanimously resolutions
expressive of their horror and deep sorrow at
the assassination.
The commercial body of London adopted
similar resolutions, and likewise the official
boards of the adjoining towns and provinces
The Americans in London assembled in
Grosvcncr Hotel The meeting adjourned till
the first week of May, when Minister Adams
will speak at a mass meeting of Americans at
ST. James Hall
The Italian Chamber of Deputies have
adopted an address expressing grief at Prcsi-
dent Lincon's assassination.
The Chamber was draacd in his honor

General Lee and his Opinions.

The Richmond correspondent of Cincinnati
papers, furnishes his correspondents with the
on dts of conversation had with the rebel
General, giving the reasons which induced
him to euter the rebel service, and also his
views as to what caused the rebel leaders .to
enter on this wicked and unholy rebellion,
which are in course of publication at length
in these papers Now, it appears to us that
Rebellion and Treason being crime one and
indivisble, that the mere opinion which in
duced the parties to the commission of this
unnatural offence is of very little consequence,
and can neither palliate Or justify the grave
offence of which they stand charged before
the country and the world. Whether General
Lee in his estimation owed allegiance to his
own State, before the Government which had
educated and paid him, and which he had
sworn to defend, or Davis and his associates
in crime, really credited the assumptions
claimed in behalf of the sovereignty of States,
or Of the right of secession from the Federal
Union, are of very little consequence in the
estimation of morality or of law: the crime
being purposely and willingly committed, the
inducement is of no consequence while the
act itself, the res gests is everything. In
this view of the case, we have not deemed it
proper to travel beyond the record in giving
publicity to this particular style of correspon-
dence

MORE EcoNoNY.-Notice has been given
Provost Marshals of the several States, to dis
miss from the service all employees, close up
their departments, and forward to Headquar-
ters all unsettled matters for final adjudica.
ton. This order relieves the service of many
officials, removes from the mind of the citi-
zen, whether loyal or otherwise, the common
apprehension entertained against this class of
officials, whose presence necessarily produced
some discomfort Thus it is seen that the
Government is making rapid strides from a
military to civil Government, and that hence
forth, as heretofore, our Democratic brethren
will be at liberty to say, just what they please!
