ga NIGGER IN THE WooDpILE. Our
prediction has come true. We said that
the soldiers would not vote for Cox on his
black platform. They are already in
arms, and in to7day's paper viii be found
a letter signed by thirteen officers and
soldiers, calling on Gen. Cox for his views
on negro suffrage. Cox wont answer, and
if he don't the soldier vote will go dead
against him. The "boys' viii not sub

A VISIONARY ScHEME.-Gen.C Cox. the
Abolition candidate for Governor, in his
letter to the Oberlin "Committee, pro-
poses to colonize all the negroes, and set
tie them in the States of South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Florida. To ac-
complish this scheme it would be necessa-
ry, Of course, to purchase ali the land in
those States. and present it to thenegroes
for homes How much this would cost
the people, already ground down to the
very dust by taxation, Gen. Cox does not
pretend to inform us. The truth is such
a proposition is the. quintessence, of ab-
surdity, and could only originate with a
visionary dreamer. t4h

SERENADE TO GEN. Cox.-A few SOL
diers, with an excellent band, serenaded
Gen, Cox last evening at the .Goodale
House; but they could not get a response
from the General in return. In the early
stages of the effort to induce Gen. Cox to
respond, we saw three soldiers walk away
from the crowd, one of whom rather star
tied the persons present with, "Hurrah
for Vallandigham. D-n Cox. I'm one
of his soldiers, and know what he Is"
No ore spoke Interpretation of the use
of this language,or cheered for Gen. Cox.

CAN'T GO IT.-We rarely pick up an
exchange, these days, that we do not see
some account of reneounter between
soldiers and negroes. There seems to be
an enmity between the two classes that
has been embittered by the attempt of the
Abolition party to elevate the negro, and
degrade the soldier to an equal footing.
The "boys in blue cannet go this ANAL
gamation doctrine. They have been in
the South, where they have seen the negro
in all the glory of his dirt, laziness and
Ignorance, and they have not formed the
most favorable opinion of him. The
boys will hardly vote to degrade them
selves to the level Of an ignorant negro,
as the AboIitionists wish them to.-Han-
cock G0uyier.

VoTING-The enemies of equal rights
and repudiators Of their honest debts, as
well as ofthe Declaration ofIndependence,
are terribly exercised lest some whose
faces are not as white, whose hair is not
as straight, and whose ears are shorter
than theirs, may get to woe. Aslong as
a few of tho leaders Of their party could
rule the country it was all right, but
when that part of the Declaration comes
to be carried out which claims that "goy-
crnments are instituted among men, de-
irving their just powers from the consent
of the governed, then they are Mortified
:; !; * y The negroes are going to
be voters-that is manifest destiny
and these brawlers about their superiority
may rest their souls in peace. And thus
the black man will be superior to rebels
and traitors, leaders of the bogus Democ-
racy.

appears likely to aggregate from four to

multiply our taxes increase, and the peo-

A great many men of the far North

More Anc.ent Relics.

A few days ago a party Of FIVE or six Of our
townsmen went out to investigate an ancient
mound, situated about two and a half miles
East Of Newark, on the farm Of George
A. Wilson, Esq, of Madison township.
They sunk hole in the center of the
mound about ten feet in diameter, aud from
twelve to fifteen feet deep, to its base. About
four feet from the top they passed through a
thin strata Of charcoal, and near the base and
center of the mound they found three or four
human skeletons, quantity of arrows, two
highly polished variegated stones and the
head of an image made of stone
The bones we're so much softened that when
exposed to the air most Of them crumbled
into dust; although several pieces of thigh
and arm bones, and also pieces Of skull Of
considerable size were preserved. The ar
rows found, differ in color and shape from
those usually picked up in the fields in this
vicinity. The variagated stones differ from
each other in shape, one being about the
shape of an egg, tue other having semi.
gobular form The head Of the image is
about one inch aud half high, having on the
forehead Eve distinct Hebrew letters, the
meaning Of which has not as yet been ascer-
tanned. They are said to be characters oflhe
ancient Hebrew language, and therefore per-
maps the difficulty with our modern Hebrew
ists in deciphering their meaning.-NeUark
