Aue RESOLUTIONS OF 'BS ana 3D. n
The st. Clairsville Chro,nclc has been
writing biographical sketch of the
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions Of
'9S and 40, in view of the fact that the
Democracy of Ohio and other States
have returned to their old business of
endorsing those resolutions, which
We're the seeds,-the germ,-the direful
spring of all our woes. a clause inone
ofthe resolutions of '9S affirmed in the
baldest and boIdest manner the right
of Qualification. Thus:
"That the several States who formed
that instrument, (the Constitution be-
ing sovereign and independent, have
the unquestionable right to judge of its
infraction, and that nullification, by
those sovereigntieS, of all unauthorized
acts done under color of that instru-
ment, is the rightful remedy"
"Here notification" as the Chronicle
well observes, is proclaimed the Fright
full remedy" by the several States,
whenever, in their judgment, the gov
eminent of the United States attempts
to exercise unauthorized authorities,
and that this was the understanding
as TO the meaning and import of the
resolutions of '6S and '9a, at the time OF
their adoption is evinced from the ac-
ton of[the various State Legislatures,
towhich those resolutions were submit.

Roswell MARSH, ESQ, of Steuben-
vile, is writing up the history of that
place for the columns of the Herald.
The place was settled, so to speak, in
l5sG-that is Major Hamtramck, an
officer in the army, built block-house
in that year, for the protection of his
military stores. The original flat of
Steubenville, however, was laid out in
1902 by Baznleel Wells. The present
Courthouse was built in 1903, and the
paper mill still running up there, was
built in 1910. The Herald newspaper
was established in 1906.

STRUCK ny LIGHTNING.-During the
thunder storm which prevailed yestcr-
day afternoon, the stack attached to the
Planeing Mill of NIessrs. Holiday and
Armstrong was struck by lightning.
The electric fluid passed down the stack
and into the building, setting on fire a
Cupboard which was placed against the
stack. Some papers which were in the
cupboard We're also set on fire. The
whole building was in great danger,
and was only saved by the prompt use
of a small hose with which the estal,-
lishment is provided. a number OF
hands werein the establishment ut the
time, and though severely shocked.
none of them We're injured. Consider
ing the combustible character of the
material in the building, it is n matter
ofsurprise that it was not entirely des-
troyed.

WE have already given the gist of the
pastoral address recently issued at Co
lumbus, Ga, by the Bishops of the
Methodist Church South. Judging by
the tenor and spirit of this document,
little cooperation can be expected from
these leaders in Zion in the work of
political reconstruction. 1t is true they
make strong professions of submission
and acquiescence i'll the overthrow of
slavery, but beneath all this appears a
rebellious spirit and hostility toward
the north, which policy, if nothing
more, would have dictated that they
conceal. The leaders of the Methodist
Church We're largely responsible for
the civil war. Having themselves
originally seeded from the Church
North in order to conserve and guard
slavery, they entered with alacritv
upon political secession, which prom
ised to spread and strengthen the insti-
tuition. AS a result we saw the laitv
going almost in body into the rebel
lion. In the border States the lines of
demarkation between northern and
southern conferences well nigh marked
the boundary limits between loyalty
and treason; Methodist publishing
houses and book concerns Were con-
verted into repositories for rebel guns
and ammunition. The Sehons and
AIcFerrins seduced their followers
from their allegiance, while one after
another the church organs succumbed
to the pressure, the North Carolina
Adroeate being the last to yield.
Three of the organs of the Church
South have been revived-the North
Carolina Advocate, at Raleigh; the
S. c. Advocate, at Macon, and the Epis-
copGI Methodist, at Richmond. Strong
efforts are being made to retain the col
ored membership, numbering over 2iO,-
900, which appears inclined to sccede &c
the Church North. Considerable distur.
bance has been occasioned here in
Western Virginia by the attempts OF
Bishop Eavanaugh to reOrganize the
Southern Churches. The few belonging
to them who have remained loyal dur
ing the war nowprotest against having
preachers of doubtful loyalty saddIel
npon them.

CAsrALrlEs or WAB.-It is committed
that at least 525 coo men, North and
south, have lost their lives BY disease
and the casualties Of battle since the be.
ginning Of the rebellion. But though
our losses IN many Of the campaigns
have been heavy, they yet fall below
those lccarrel in some OF the European
wars. This has been due 10 considerable
extent, to the efficiency of the mcdicai
department and the lavish amount of
supplies, at least onc-third greater than
these furnished to any European army.
\ report recently made to the Imperial
Academy Of Medicine, by Chenu, physi,
elan OF the french army, estimates the
losses OF that army in the Crimean war
us follows. X kIled on the field of bat
tie or missing, 1920; lost in the
Semllante, 1102; died of various diseases
at Alma, s0S4; died Of cold, aroplexy,
Nc., before Sebastopol, 1872; died in the
field and general hospitals. 72,247 total,
9o,0lo. Thus, ef 500 2G4 men seut by
France to the Crmea, about one.third
found soldiers grave.
The siege and reduction of Jerusalem
resulted, says Iosephus. in the loss of
,oo0,0Q9 lives. Ninety thousand Per-
slams were placed hors On com5at at the
battle Of Arbela, and 100000 Cartha.
Ienians IN TIE engagement of Palermo.
Twelve thousand Infantry and 10000
cavalry pe:i>hcd on the fatal field of
lssus. Spain lost 200000O lives during
the persecution of the Arabians, and 500.

the Great inflicted u loss of 10000 on
the Aastrlans in the conflicts of Leuthen
Leignitz. The battle of jean and the
lesser engagements immed' 'ately follow.
lng, cost the Prussan army over sc, 0,OO0
men. At the battle Of Leipsic, the
French suffered casualties to the number
Of 10000, and the Swcdcs aud their allies
10000 more. Fifty thousand French
and Russian soldiers lay dead and dying
on the field after the battle Of Moskowa.
