LEGISLATURE.

We call attention to the letters OF
our correspondent "Gallia. The one
on our first page, was delayed by the
failure of the mails, but it will repay
perusal, particularly that portion
relative to the Morgan raid claims.
A good movement is now before
the House relative to the National
Guards. They will likely be exempt
ed from laboring on the roads. The
communication funds raised in counties
that have no organizations Of the
Guards, will probably be divided pro
rata among the counties where they
exist. The first is right and will be
heartily eoncured in. If copper
heads prefer working the roads, to
joining the Guards ''let it be so re-
corded"
As to the commutation fund, the
design of the law, was to encourage
the organization of these companies.
Ashtabula county paid .his year slO,-
600, commutation money, yet she
has not single company of Nation
al Guards within her boundaries.
Other counties have so large num-
Der, that the fund is insufficient to
pay expenses. We hope the law
may be so amended.
The Soldiers Relief Bill IS under
discussion, proposing to amend by
authorizing the Governor to appoint
commissioners in each county to dis
tribute the fund, instead of through
township Trustees. This is night.
The wives and families of soldiers
should not be left to the tender mer-
cies of copperhead Trustees. Their
antipathies to the cause will hardly
allow them to dc justice to soldier
family. The family should not be
under any obligations to them fol
official acts grudgingly performed.

ENow that the rolls are correc
ted and every thing in readiness for
Capt Cory to start his "wheel Of for
tune" it becomes the duty Of every
one interested, to clear himself of the
draft. We know of one way by
which men liable to draft, will not
only successfully evade it, and be
enabled to snap their fingers at Capt
Cory, but actually put money in
their pockets, not perspectively but
'cash on the nail" They will be-
side this, be entitled to all the bless
ings which Congress has, or in its
wisdom may yet devise, for the COM
fort of those who are patriotic
enough to evsdethe drafting officers,
and take the matter into their own
hands. This method or plan is sure
to prove successful, or in case OF
failure, we bind ourselves to pay the
party who follows the direction
closely and fails, all he would have
made, if successful. Owing to press
of other business, SO great as to pre-
vent adopting the plan ourselves, and
which renders it impossible for US to
repeat the process to all who may
wish to learn it, yet willing thai
every man liable to daft, should be
in possession of a fact 50 important
and so highly calculated to further
his interests, anil further because we
don't like Capt. Cory's way of doing
business, and would willingly see his
concern ''smashed"-for all these
"and divers other good reasons, us
thereunto specially moving" we have
impaired our secret to two citizens
of Gallia county, who have pied ged
their words Of honor to us, to act in
good faith toward "all whom it may
concern" and turn none away, who
may apply to them for information
on the subject.
1t is hoped therefore, in view oI
the imminent danger, that more OF
less of the good citizens of ''gallant
little Gallia" may ''nolens volens"
have to 60 on a pilgrimage to the
village of lronton, and play the role
of the "model artist" in presence OF
the examining surgeon, who enjoys
''the show without paying hfs quar-.
ter" that all interested pW apply
without delay to the persons above
alluded 10. For their convenience
one of these gentlemen has taken
rooms at tire National Hotel in
GalIipolis. Inquire for Lieut. ID. NJ.
Coffman. The other will be found
at Vinton a part of the time and the
remainder at Gallipolis. His name,
is Lieut.. Benjamin Martin. Both
or these gentlemen will be found
willing to impart our secret, and
charge nothing for doing SO.

E Monday last was the day fixed
for the meeting of the enrolment of
ficers to correct the rolls preparatory
to the coming draft As usual with
every thing connected with that bu.
siness, it proved one grand humbug.
At q very early hour our town was
crowded With men anxious to get
their name off the roll of honor 1t
very muchresembled "the high old
time" we lad when our friend Brad
dury undei took to carry on the con-
Germ in 1852. What progress was
made In correcting the list we are not
informed. Some districts accused
others of icheatin a leetle" but it is
presumed III was done that could be
under the circumstances. The rush
of able BODIED men was so great that
men with ne leg. or a leg and half.
or one arm, or no arm at all, had no
chance to let even inside the Court
House on de first day.

WAR NEWS.

Itwas known that q second attack
on Fort Fisher was contemplated by
the War Department, though its
movements were kept secret from
the public. A land force of Is ZOO
men under General Terry, and a ma
val force under Admiral Porter were
known to be off Fort Fisher on the
+. IA inst. Last night Tuesday 18th
We were informed by private tele-
gram, that Fort Fisher had been ia.
ken by assault and was then in our
hands. This glorious news will be
received every where with intense
satisfaction, owing to the late re.
pulse our forces met with at that
place. The rebels have had short
time 10 gloat over their victory.
With Fort Fisher in our hands, then
last port is sealed, and henceforth
biockade-runners will have poor
show. The. immense blockading
feet required heretofore to close that
port can now be spared for other
duty, inasmuch as the Fort commands
the entrance to the harbor more
effectually than our immense block
aiding fleet could do. The Fort once
taken, Wilmington must shortly fol-
low, and then on to Richmond.
From Grants army we have no
news of special Importance. One
or two more explosions of the bulk
head of the Dutch Gap Canal have
been made, which with the unusual
freshet in the James river have made
quite a channel, and the canal bids
fair to be a success.
From Sherman's army We have no
stirring news. Detachments oft are
out at various points, the objects in
view being as mysterious to the
rebels as before. Branchville seems
just now the objective point.
From the Shenandoah valley we
learn that active operations are sus-
pended. Cavalry expeditions are
now sent out but find few foes to
conteud with. The rebels seem to
have gradually withdrawR-either to
Richmond o. into winter quarters.
Gen. Thomas Headquarters are
now at Clifton. Nothing important
need be expected from that quarter
for some time. Hood is reported as
preparing to make stand at Corrinth,
but it is not generally credited. His
disorganizea forces are still retreat
ing southwark leaving Forests cav
airy to cover his retreat.
Our troops are well supplied at all
points, but the state of the roads
renders military operations impCssi-
bic.

R The aTrumbull Guards" !"

R The "Trumbull Guards" are
about to return into town, and occu-
lpy the buildings at the market house
as a barracks. Anew guard house
on the public square, has been lately
erected by Major Allen, that looks
large enough to contain all offenders,
whether male or female. The large
number Of "cyprians" that nightly
parade our streets, are likely to be
furnished comfortable quarters free
of charge for music or attendance.
