TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN

A short time since q countryman
went into q grocery establishment in
Gallipolis to purchase plug of TO-
bacco. After paying for it, left his
pocket book on the counter, which
he did not miss until he got home,
Immediately he returned for the
missing pocket book, it was not
where left. He thinks it might have
fallen from the counter among the
goods behind and under the same.
which when found he hopes may be
returned with its contents, or placed
where he msy recover il. If not
found and returned, he will make a
statement under oath, when where
and under what circumstances 1t was
left on the counter, who were pres
ent, and all the circumstances in con-
nection Herewith, which will be pub
lished in the Journal.
He is satisfied, he knows who
found it. He now offers that he will
be satisfied to receive the lost pocket
book with twenty dollars less of the
money, than was in it. 1t can be
well secured in an envelope and
dropped in the post office box, direc

@ We are requested to call the
attention of our civil authorities to
some female vagrants who are daily
strolllng around town without any
visible means of support, intruding
themselves into private dwellings and
if an opportunity offers, stealing
whatever they can lay their hands
on. At night these wretched crea.
lures are lying about the streets in
company with men equally degraded,
and made the subject of conversation
by the boys.
There certainly should be some way
Of abating this intolerable nuisance,
now that the civil law is once more
in force. There are city ordinances
in force, which apply to such cases.
Why are they not enforced? Re-
spectacle ladies have right to walk
the streets in daylight at least, with
out being insulted by these demi-
reps and their admirers, or hearing
the language that generally passes
between them. 1t is to be hoped
that some mea sures may at once be
adopted to rid the town of such
charac, ers. If it cannot be done,
then furnish them lodgings at the
city expense, and license them to
practise their lewdness, out of public
view and off the public thorough
fares.

There is and viii be during our generation,
. class Of people whom We must never for
get. Thelr presence will constantly remind
Us of the perils and sacrifices Of the war. I
mean our wounded and disabled soldiers and
the widows and orphans of those who fell.
The officers and soldiers will soon mingle
with our people in the old employments VI
peacs. Their recolleetions will be the basis
Of vur history, and will be taught to their
children and grandchildren. They will be
rewarded by Offices and honor. But those
who have been disabled need more. They
should not only be the honored pensioners of
the General Government, but everywhere
should receive the homage. respect, attention
and aid of all good citizens. The hand, not
of charity, but Of affection, should ever be
open to them. Ladies you have honored your
sex and our country by your organized aid to
our soldiers; now Adopt the widows and or
phans of the dead soldiers as your sisters and
your children. You rich farmers, with your
teeming barns and most beautiful land, take
into your homes the children of those who
have died in your servieei adopt them. Let
them be taught to reverence the martyrdom Of
their fathers Let us weave all the memories
Of this war, all its sacrifices, all Its gloiies, its
ba tlefelds and marches, into one grand bond
of patriotism, so that no citizen will hereafter
ever dare to raise his hand in rebellion against
his country, and 90 that we may visit with
overwhelming power any foreign nation that
may seek to interfere with our progress or
our policy.

H One of the most disastrous
fires that have occurred during this
war, took place at Nashville on the
9th inst, by which the U. S. Govern
ment loses property to the amount
of eight or ten millions of dollars
The value of rope alone is estimated
at s1,000,O00. The large build
ing used as q store house by the
Quartermaster and Csmmissary, be-
ing the largest in the country, meas
uring 300 by 800 feet, took fire, it is
said from a spark from a locomotive
on the track along side of the build,
ing. The stores contained in this
building were estimated to be suffi-
cient for an army of $4,000 men, for
two years. There is little doubt that
it is the work of some rebel incendi
ary. A court of inquiry is now in
vestigating the affair.

E John Mitchell the notorious
Irish renegade who was sentenced by
the English Government to Van
Dieman's Land for treason, and es-
Gaping thence to the United States
made himself odious to every lover
of freedom, by his base subservieney
to the slave power before the re-
bellion, and who engaged in it with
all the energy Of native born ne

New York, where he vas employed
by Ben. Wood to edit the New York
News the dirtiest Copperhead sheet
in the North.
The Government has notified
Mitchell to leave the United States,
or be placed under arrest Truly
the way of the transgressor is hard.

H The reports given us by fal

@ The reports given us by far
mers from all sections Of the county,
relative to growing crops are very
fattering, and indicate an unusually
productive harvest. Wheat in some
localities, is slightly affected by rust,
but chiefly confined to the river bot
toms and caused probably by the
dense fogs prevailing in the morn
ings, of the late very hot days
Wheat will be cut in this county
next week. Corn is growing rapidly
and prospects for fair crop are
very good. The late rains have
somewhat retarded the working of it
properly, and caused an unusual
growth of grass and weeds. but on
the whole it may be said that the
corn crop this year will be fully an
average one.
Grass and oats never promised
faire: returns to the farmer than they
do this season. The late rains have
settled all doubts as to the result of
both crops. If the farmer is obliged
to submit to reduced prices, his loss
will be more than made up by the
gain in quantity.
Potatoes also bid fair to yield
largely. The late planting, seems
to have been fully overcome by the
fine growing weather during this
n onth, and in few days new pota-
toes will doubtless be in the market.
Fruit will not be abundant, but
probably enough viii ripen to supply
the home market.
On the whole the farmer has no
reason to be discouraged. He must
make up his mind to low prices com
pared with the past tour years. Hay
at $500 per ton, corn Sl,00, oats
75c. and potatoes 81 90, have a ten
dency to enrich farmers speedily, ,and
the decline in either of so per cent
or more is not pleasant to think Of
still less so to realize. But they
have no cause to complain. Their
crops are likely to be much greater
than they anticipated four weeks ago,
and such being the fact, let all be
thankful, that they are not obliged to
bear at the same time the burden OF
low prices and short crops. In ad-
dition to all this, labor will be cheaper
and moro abundant than for three
years past. The return of our boys
from the war just before harvest will
add thousands oflaborers in the field,
at much less prices than formerly.
Peace and plenty reigns in the North.
Let every good loyal farmer be
thankful for the blessings of Provi-
dence thus showered upon him.
Let him be vigilant and active in Sc
curing as much of their fruits as pos,
sible, even if Copperheads hiss, and
curse the hand stretched out to pro-
tect even them from destruction that
in many instances, would be their
just reward.

EAt Chattanooga, Tenn,

re- At Chattanooga, Tenn, on
9th inst, an ordinance building ex-
ploded, setting on fire two large
Government warehouses filed with
stores. The loss is estimated at
$3.50, 900, but in reality is probably
more than double that amount. 1t
is alleged to have been caused by a
spark from a locomotive. Rebel in
cendiaries are no doubt at the bot
tom fit. About fifteen persons lost
their lives or were injured by the ex-
plosion. The officer in charge is
greatly censured for neglect of duty,
and court Of inquiry il now in ses-
sion to ascertain the ca7se of the

H The Cincinnati Enquirer ha

H The Cincinnati Enquirer has
9 long article on reputation of the
public debt, which for seoundrehsm
and villainy' cannot be equalled.-
Pretending TO have most holy hor-
TOR of repudiation, it argues the per
feet propriety of refusing to pay the
debt, on the ground of inability. 1t
justifes this ground, because the
creditors or bond holders ''invested
in them as q questionable security,
profitable to deal in but not safe to
keep" Therefore, it argues, that if
the people see fit to elect members
Of Congress opposed to taxation or
any means Of paving this debt it
would be right and proper for them
to do so and thereby decide the ques-
ton of inability for themselves. The
object of this article is to sound the
public mind on repudiation, and
weaken the faith of the bondholders
in the integrity Of cur government
Having done all in its power to de-
preciate the currency and credit fthe
Government during the war, now
.bat all its prophecies have proved

eus, an unwillingness to meeti in good
faith the obligations Of the nation al

Such consummate rascality, il

mated. Copperheadism still lives
and ever ready to assume some new
shape. But the loyal people of th'
United States, are proof against al
such infamous teachings. The deb

its abhorrence Of repudiatioD, as j
did of secession. For they are twil
brothers. JEFF. Davis is the naothe
of both. He fastened upon the Stat
of Mississippi, the odium of repudi

neither of which will she recover il
the next half century.
All such arguments as those use'
by the Cincinnati Enquirer, are but
repetition of the same things. W
