Testimonials to Generals.

in the State is the Portage County Demo.
crat 1t is published in the Western Re-
serve, and its politics are as dark as the re-
gion in which it is located. 1t lately con-
tanned an article upon testimonials to Gen
erals, from which we make the following
extract:

ifnot the greatest Captain of his day. That
true soldier would be for more gratifed, we
doubt not, to have his sick and dying sol
diers comforted, and an effort made to save
their lives, than to be, himself smothered in
'greenbacks.' But it is much more grand,

Negro Riot I'm Bridgeporf.

The town of Bridgeport was yesterday this
scene of disgraccful riot and much excite.
ment and alarm, caused by the lawlessness
OF some fifteen or twenty negroes who re-
side in this cIty--a number of whom are
soldiers. From what we could learn of the
affair, it seems that one or two Of the sable
soldiers were in Bridgeport on.Frday night,
and tor their insolence were rather roughly
handled by some of the Bridgeporters.
About noon yesterday the darkeys obtained
re-inforcements, and after partaking freely
Of bald faced whiskey, left ,ere for Bridge,
port to resent the insult given by the white
trash of that town. When about quar-.
ter Of mile from the town, on the Nation
al road, the darkies came across one Of tho
men who had incurred their diSpleasure by
Friday nigh $ proceedings and brisk skir-
mishing Immediately legan. The white
man retreated down the road towards the
town, closely followed by the negroes. Re-
Inducements came to the aid of America,
and soon the engagement ragged with fury,
the negroes firing their revovers as fast as
they. could load them, and the whites doing
good execution with stones and clubs
When bordering on the town, the whites
ran down cross street, secured a number
of men to assist them, and obtained several
revovers. Coming out on the Main street,
near the bank, the whites pitched into
the negroes, and after hotly contested
skirmish the latter rctreated, and made
good their escape over the bridge, and re-
turned to this city.
In the last engagement two Of the white
men were wounded, one being shot in the
foot and another in the hand, and one of the
negroes received ball in his legs Several
Of the stores and dwelling houses in the
town were injured by being struck with
stones and bullets, and the lives Of innoeeht,
pcaceable citizens were placed in jeopardy
by the recklcssness of those engaged in the
melee. -. -.
The negroes returned to this city, and a.
bout seven O'Clock last night some thirty or
forty OF them met near the Market House
and threatened to go over and take"
Bridgeport, but up to last accounts the
black warriors had not crossed the bridge
The citizens of Bridgeport were prepared to
give them warm reception, and lively
time vas anticipated on the approach of the
negroes. - Wheeling Register, March 6.

Last fall the people, undcr mlSIepresen-
tation and falsehood voted for a continue
tion of the war. They did so ignorantly.
Through misplaced confidence in the re-
publican party, they were grossly deceived;
and made to believe that the reelection of
Lincoln would end the war. at once. They
did not believe that Lincoln $ success would
necessarily entail upon them a continuation
of the war, and multiplicity of drafts. =
They did not believe Democrats when told
by them before the election that the success
Of Lincoln would drag the young men of
the country, by means of the conscrption
law, into the army to force upon the nation
through war and blood shed, Lincoln's odi-
Gus negro policy. But since people cast
their votes at the last Presidential election
they have found out few truths to their
cost They have discovered their sad mis-
take. The telegraph had scarcely done
clicking off the news of Lincoln's success,
till along the wires came the order for three
hundred thousand more men, At this
staggering announcement the honest por-
ton OF the republican masses stood aghast.
1t was not thought that men in high places
could practice for political purposes and
success, such gross and intense deception. -
ne ueclaTatlOnS Ol commissioner nitlng,
Provost Marshal General Fry, and Secrc-
tary Seward, previous to the election, that
we had men enough, we're fresh in the
memory of the whole people. Yet ever
since the election almost our entire active
business population, have been engaged in
correcting rolls, procuring exemptions,
looking up men, hunting and begging mon
ey. and making their utmost exertions to
clear the several districts from the pressure
of the pending draft. The strong probabil-
ity is:.that our people will be compelled to
contribute to this same business of respond
ing to calls for more men and money, unless
they have learned wisdom by past expert
ence, and take in their own hands the means
of redressing grievances. The power is
with the people. And they have the OPP
portunity now to commence q redress of
grievances by using their votes at the spring
elections, and through good Judgment, turn
ing them against all drafts.
The draft will cease, the war will stop,
the country will be at peace, the States will
be united, as soon as the people want these
things to be, and as soon as they say so
