A HORRIBLE AFFAiR IN OHIo.-The Cleve-
land Leader tells a story of horrible affair
which occurred in Stow township. Ohio. A
wealthy Copperhead farmer, named Graham,
had promised to give 500 to the draft fund
in order to fill the quota of the town, but
afterwards refused topay. The young men
of the district determined to hold him to his
promise, and resolved that company of 20
of them should call on him. They accordingly
mounted and were riding over to his farm,
when at some distance from it. they were
suddenly ordered to halt by Graham, who
heard of their Intentions, and had armed
himself with two revolvers and a double bar.
rele1 rifle. and planted himselfip covert near
Stow Corners. The cavalcade halted, when
Graham fired and brought down one of the
men with q shot iE the eft side. He imme.
dia.ely shot another in tne head killing him
instantly. The young men as they were de-
fenseless, scattered and dashed away Ora
ham approached the man first shot who was
still living. and dispatched him with shot
in his forehead. a surgeon was summoned
by the young men, but Graham stood over
the corpses and would not allow him to come
near, threatening to kill him if he made the
attempt. He declared he would give himself
up to the trustees of the town if they would
come with Il flag of truce and pledge him
protection. Presently, the sheriff of the coun
ty, with a posse, arrived from Akron. but on
their approach, Graham ran, and was cap
tured only after receiving shot IN lis ri i.ht
arm, which completely disabled him He
was then arrested and taken to Akron.

UNION CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
THE PRIMARY TEsr.-Ws regret with e1'

THE PRIMARY TEsT.-Ws regret with e1'
ceedinc sorrow that the test we advocate
should no. be received with more unanimous
appreciation by those not capable Of taxing 1t.
We rejoice with exceeding JOY that every
Union man is in favor of the test. and we
dvubt not our Executive Committee will make
the test qualification for voters at primary
elections, that tue person Offering his ballot
voted for Lincoln and johnson at the last
Presidential election. This test being unan-
imously opposed-so far rs we have been able
to learn-by the Democratic party, is the
best possible evidence that it is right. No
better evidence of right is needed than the
strong opposition of that element in the body
polite.
1t is time that the principles of party
should actuate individuals to become men,
bers thereof, instead of the spols that may be
gained thereby. We well know that no prin-
ciple in the Union platform has any charm
for these latter. day Comprehend Unionists.-
Such being fact, it is law and they can't
come in except on probation-as voters for
our nominees.

THE BUMMERS.-The foragers of General
Sherman's army are called bummers. .
Abundant and excellent supplies are obtained
everywhere. A hummer is an individual who
by fsvor of wag IN master becomes possessed
of broken mule, or else starts, if need be,
on foot, in either case. of course, armed
with his musket. lie makes his way into
the enemy's country finds horses in numbers
by the help ot the negroes. bitches team

supplies he can find in the nearest house.
muan's ii negroes on the rest of his horsas
and returns with hisspoils. Henever okiectsto
gold watches or silver plate :. ifhe' can find
them in n swamp mile from .h1hy house. e.v--.
These men were stragglers, not in rear but
in front of the army, and they went before it
like cloud. being often 20 to &C miles in
advance of the head of the column They
would fight anything. Three bummers to-
gether W ouId attack IA company of rebel cay
airy, and in favorable circumstances wculd
disperse them and capture their booty
With the exception of Columbia alone. every
town.in South carolina through which the
army passed was first entered by the bum
mers At. Chesterfield they were two days
and half ahead of the army. the whole
corps having congregated at this point. They
rugged up two logs for cannon, sent a tag
ahead to the town. which was occupied by a
detachment of Buffers division of cavalry,
demanded its surrender, frightened, off the
rebel cavalry, and entered the town in grand
procession of broken down mules, ragged
bummers and Quaker guns. The coat tails
of the rebels disappeared at one end of the
town as DO Boys" entered at the other.
