high in this place. They are now selling at

them to reasonable price

strict and prayerful attention you pay 10 the
inspired words of your worthy preacher, I
feel il in this holy and devoted breast Of
mine, ] am assured by your votes at the
election, that you will welcome taxation.
welcome debt, welcome war, rejoice in rivers
Of blood, be made glad with conscriptions
and willingly give the last man and the last
dollar to wipe out the accursed institution
Of slavery. We preached and prayed for it
when detcstcd peace reigned throughout our
borders and we will not desert it now when
war is pouring its blessings upon our heri-
tage. We clung to it whcno our pockets were
destitute Of script and we will not forsake it
when rare contracts and fat Offices are re-
warding US and making us richin the world =
goods We will cling to that liberty which
maketh the colored people free. We will
hold fast to the faith until the South is
wiped out, until their plantations have be-
come waste places and their dwellings are
turned into habitations for bats and owls. -
We will go on our way rejoicing until the
disloyal Copperheads are cxterminated and
"thc peace devils are swept from the face
of the earth, and then the Free Americans
Of African decent and the saints who wor-
ship in the temples erected to Ham and
dedicated to Abraham will have Paradise
in which no trees are planted to bear apples
of discord. s'r
After singing the following hymn, brother
James A. R,sd, of Wooster, will lead US in
prayer:
Arise my brethren, loudly sing
In praise of Abraham, our king
Shout hallelujahs to his name;
Shout to the Africans the same
Abe has proclaimed, as oft BEFORE
To raise three hundred thousand more
How glad we are to hear the call,
And promptly In the ranks wen fall
But stay! perhaps we are too fast
Our call will certainly come last;
Our modesty forbids us go,
Until we know we're wanted to.
We're almost dead to join the brave,
And die, our country to save;
But since so many want to go,
They shall be first to meet the foe
Let Copperheads fill up the ranks,
And we will sing and join in thanks
For Victories won for thousands slain,
For bone-clad hill, and bloody plain.
Well praise the names ofthose who fight,
And keep the ballot box all right,
Wen thank Old Abe for mcrcies given,
And stay at home and work for heaven,

not willingly give one cent to aid Lincoln

ambition or crafty his vengeance but We
look alone to the personal security of oul
citizens. Should draft be made, which i.
certain IN the event our quota is not filed
from 100 to 200 men will be conscripted in
this county. Some of them will be able to
furnish substitutes at probably s. 900 each.
Some will be willing to enter the service.
Some will attempt to dodge, be arrested as
deserters, and, if not shot down like dogs,
be subjected to pretty rough treatment. -
Some will be torn away from families left
destitute, from friends whom they love and
from homes they cherish. These results
have followed wherever conscriptions have
been enforced, and there is no reason why
we should escape them here.
The person subject to draft who declares
he would not give dollar to get out may
be very courageous, but he is certainly stan
ding in his own light. IF by each one in
township giving few dollars, the township
is cleared from the conscrption, the high
and the low, the rich and the poor are all
left in the peaceablc enjoyment of their
homes, their families, their ire-sides, and
their occupations, We submit that it is much
better than for us to be doggcd down by
Provost Marshals, government detectives
and armed soldiery--better than to be sur
rounded with shricking wives and weeping
You say you are tired giving So are we.
We have given as much as any man in this
township, though exempted from the draft
What is your money worth to you after the
lie is taken out of you by rebel bullet or
some Of the many diseases incident to camp
life? You say you are robbng your family
by giving thirty or forty dollars. 1t is per-
haps true that your family needs the money,
but labor is plenty and wages so high that
you can earn forty dollars in three or four
weeks. Is there family in Hardy town
ship that would lose less by having the hus-
band org cherished son taken away than by
contributing the sum of money we have
suggested
If it strikes you that we are right andyou
feel too spunky to give in, you are acting
like the man who cut off his nose to spite
his face--you are doing injustice to yourself
and to your neighbors. If you intend to
stand back and let others clear the township,
ycu are mean.
We talk thus plainly because the sooner
the work is done the less it will cost. and
because, though exempt ourself, we are
willing to give literally to help others out.
But we don't want to see men liable to the
iraft standing back and doing nothing. -
When men won't help themselves, we feel
lnder no obligations to help them.

The True Spirit.
From the Pittsburgh Post !

lic lttSDuTSn 1'OSt.
The Abolition papers are publishing and
letter from Gen. Sherman. The Tribune
publishes it with pleasure. and the Philadel-
phia Press is anxious that it should be read
by every one who breaths "the true spirit of
the country But here is the extract:
every young and middle-aged man ought to be
proud of the chance to fight for the integrity of
his country. l would like to all trade and
commerce absolutely until this conflict is
over a. anh d al who can ,ghi and won't fight
nationalized."
Now, this is all very pretty for profes-
sional soldier, who is luxurating in the pos
session of big pay and rations: but for one
not martially inclined and having rather an
aversion to gunpowder it possesses no at
fractions whatever.
AS long as the war was prosecuted for
what General Sherman styles "the integrity
of the country there was, it is true, a
great deal OF enthusiasm among the masses,
which prompted them to rush into the
service. But the Abolitionists, fearful that
the conflict would be terminated before
their schemes were consummated, commenc-
ed embarrassing our military operations, and
they continued to do so, until they finally
succeeded in changing the battles from one
for the integrity Of the country, to one for
negro emancipation. This now being fixed
upon, the next step in the programme is to
be in favor of Southern determination -
These objects are very different from that of
laboring to restore the unity of the Repub-
lie; and, those who have perverted our con-
test for nationality, into one for the purposes
alluded to, ought themselves to carry on the
devastation and blood. But the miserable
fanatics will not risk themselves in contest
of their own making They are willing to
see the white millions of the North sacrificed
in struggling to give freedom to an equal
number of slaves, but they take good care
to be in place of safety while the struggle
is going on. The Abolitionists having sue
ceeded in making the war one for naked
Abolition purposes, ought to enter the serv-
Ice and fight it out the two extremes-the
slavery propagandists and the anti-slavery
crusaders--are responsible for our troubles,
and they ought to settle it by cutting each
others throats. Or let the latter change
the issue, and induce the President to pro-
claim the contest to be for the restoration Of
the Union merely, and we will wager all the
oil stock we are possessed of, that in less
than six months we will be enabled to say
that,
"All the clouds that lowered upon our house
Are IN the deep bosom of the ocean buried"

DRAFT Observation-Disclosures to previous
notice meeting was held in the Court
House on Monday evening, for the purpose
of devising means for clearing Hardy town
ship from the impending draft Thomas
ARMoR, Esq, was chosen President of the
meeting. 1t was asccrtained that to fill the
quota of the township with substitutes, it
would be necessary to raise about S., 900 by
subscription. For the purpose of raising
the money, the following committees were
appointed to canvass their respective school
districts
lsT DISTRICT. Daniel Plats, Jacob Yo-
der and Samuel Lupold.
2ND:-S. A. Deets and David Findley.
3RD:--Joseph Adams, John Orr and
James McCaughey.
4TH:-Andrew Ingles, George Schnorr
and William j. Courtney.
5TH:-James Tidball, John w. Worries
and Isaac Harpster.
6TH;--Alfred Uhl, Armstrong Wolgamot
and Andrew Johnston.
7TH:-James Clancy, Isaac Donaldson
and James G. COrns.
sTH:-Jacob Netherow, Marshal Beatty
and Stewart Brown.
MILLERsBURG:-James Farra, A. B. Fry
Charles Herzer and ID. A. Mcdowell.
The committeeman will take subscrip
tions, collect the money and report at a
meeting to be held in the Court House mex
Saturday evening.
Since the above was put in type, it ap-
pears from a statement in the Cincinnati
Commercial, that the quota of this Congress
sional district is but 3s7. If this be true,
it is probable that no men will be required
from this township. Hence operations will
be suspended until further information is
obtained.

A "Reminiscences of the July
Riots - Five Persons Insane
from Fright.

We find the following in the Brooklyn
Daily Union:
In the recent report of the Superintendent
of the Kings County Almshouse, five patients
were stated to have become insane by fright
One of these unfortunates is the son of gem
tleman in the tailoring business in this city,
named Chandler, and the history Of his in
sanity is ascertained to be this:
Young Chandler was employed in one of
the shipyards near the Hook when the infu-
rated mob commenced the reign OF terror.
1t may be remembered that they sent delega-
tons to the different workshops and ship
yards of the east side of the city, to induce
or compel accessions to their ranks The yard
in which Chandler was employed was visited
among the number, and he, with several
others OF his fellow workmen, was carried
away to increase the magnitude of the SAN
guinary host. During the three days of hor-
ror, which cannot be forgotten by the present
generation, this nervous boy Che was not
quite seventeen years of age at the time was
under the control and forced to do the work
of this mob.
From the time the bowling and senseless
wretches first drew this youth into their
ranks until to-day he has been maniac.
When he first escaped from them and an
peared at the residence eff his father, on the
morning OF the fourth day. he was welcomed
with extreme tenderness by all; the family.
they having believed that he was among tin.
slain. The first words he spoke were.
Father, are are coming?" evidently labor.
ing under intense fear, and abiding to the
rioters who forced him into their ranks. For
several DIS afterward his family noticed that
hrs mind MS very much disordered. his lam
guage being lncoherent and unintelhgible. In
the middle of the night he would frequently
jump from his bed and call out, sThey are
coming, father; they are coming! n His
family found it necessary to have him re.
moved to the Asylum at Flatbush. where he
now IS, and where he win probably remain
until he sinks into a maniac's grave. All.
though the boy mental powers appear to be
entirely destroyed, his physical development
since his confinement in the Asylum is really
astonishing. From a slight and delicate
youth, he has become a giant at least in
stature, aud now stands near seven feet in
hight.
