President and the Union Party,

The truth is, TO certain extent
the Union men have allowed the
Democrats 10 "stcal our thunder -
using very common phrase. The
Democrats in Ohio, at the late clce-
tion--even with Nallandigham on the
stump, proelaiming that the battle to-
day is the same battle he and the
Democratic party have been fighting
for four years claimed that Mr.
johnson was with them, and they
with him, while our party was anita.
gonistic to the President Wo Lust
Ave thousand votes in Ohio by that
game at least that number of good
Union men stayed from the polls, un-
der an apathy begotten by the i'm
preston that there was a unity OF
sentiment and purpose between the
Democratic party and Mr., johnson
And the Union party was respon-
sible for this loss because il did not,
when the Democrats professed that
Mr.. johnson was with them, cram the
words down their throats.

Forty Persons Poisoned.

We hear ofan awfal tragedy that
transpired last week in the town of
Shiloh, Randolph County, Illinois.
1t appears that two physicians, Drs.
Campbell and Minncr, of that place,
recently sent to the drug store Of A,
A. Anderson, in Chester, for quaint
ty Of calomel, In one day the mcdi-
cine was administered to forty patients,
when it was discovered that with the
calomel there was mixed corrosive sub
Innate, violent poison. All Of the
patients were taken with alarming
symptoms, aud in the cases of seven
OF them the result had proved fatal at
the date of our adyiccs, and 1t was
feared that others would not survive.
Among those whose death ensued
were family named Mellinger, con-
sisting of man, wife and child. \
sister of DIR. Campbell, an intelligent
and interesting young lady, died in a
few hours after taking the dose pre-
scrioed by her brother.
The calomel containing the poison
was put up in the ordinary way, and
had not been tampercd with after leav-
ing the store of a wholesale druggist
in st. Louis, by whom it was imported
from England, The presence of cor
rosive sublimatc was probably due to
a culpable carelessness, rather than
design, at the laboratory ofthe manu-
hcturer. lfthis hypothesis is correct,
it is terrifying to think of the possible
consequences in other parts of the
country. - ~ Louis R,pabticm.

Execution of Champ Furguson,

NASHVILLE, Oct. 20. 1865.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 20, 1868.
Champ. Furguson was executed at
noon to-day, at the Pcnitcntiary
grounds just outside the city, He
died game on the gallows, cvinciug no
emotion until the rope was placed
around his neck, when his face turn
ID very red and broke out into pro
fused pcrspiration, attended with a
strong quivoring of the lips. lie
stood composcdly ON the drop some
twenty minutes, while the charges,
specifications, and sentence were read
by Colonel Shaftcr. lie nodded rec
ognition to several persons in the
crowd, and shifted his position in an
impatient manner while the sentence
was being read. TO somo spcciiica.
tions he inclined his head in assent.
To others he shook his head. That
about ELAN lluddlcston caused him
to say, " can tell it better than
that" When the speaker read, "To
all OF which the prisoner pleads not
guilty he said, F" don't,know."
Aitcr u prayer by his spiritual ad-
wiser, he was then asked if he had.
anything To say before proceeding
with the execution lie replied,
" Nothing to say particularly at all,
No, | don't think have"
The moose was here PLACED around
his neck, and then, for the first time,
he gave signs of emotion, and his
face blushod to deep scarlet, The
pcrspiration broke forth profuscly
from his face and lips closed with
a couvulsivc quiyer, The realization
of his awful situation seemed to have
flashed over his mind in all its full
ness, oTcrpowering his fortitudc,
Colonel Shaltcr wiped the sweat
away, and the prisoner gradually re,
covered his equauimity.
lie expressed himself much op-
posed to having anything placed over
his eyes, when handkerchief was
called for. Then he volunteered this
statement

lNNlhNdAluhas hNt L uuh uNHl any

For moment or two he seemed to
be ro2rcssing an impulse TO make full
er remarks, After brief pause, he
added

don't want to be buried on this
soil"
After another pause, he continued.
in an excited tone;
Don't give me TO the DOCTORS
don't want to be cut up"
Here Colonel Shaiter answered :
You shant Mr., Furguson."
A short silence followed, when the
prisoner again spoke; | want to be
put in that thing, pointing to his
coffin, and takep to White County,
where can have my family around
me. If l had only had my way, |
wouldn't have been here. Whenever
you are ready, | am done. My last
request is to be seut away with my
wife. v
His last words were "Oh Lord,
have mercy ON me, ! pray thee"
At seventeen minutes to twelve
o'clock the drop fell, aud life was ex-
hnet in sixteen pinutes,

College Land Scrip.

We find the following paragraph in
the last issue ofthc Ohio Farmer, and
adopt it as our own -" We desire to
call the attention of all who contem-
plate the purchase of Government
lands, TO the fact that the Public
Land Scrip granted to the State OF
Ohio, for the endowment Of Agricul-
tural Colleges, is now in the market
anl can be purchased, per acre, at
less rate perhaps than the price they
would be required to pay if poymcn'
were made at any of the land Offices
With this scrip, the holder can locate
any public lands, except mineral, nov
open or hereafter to be opened for en-
try. There are in Ohio, undoubted.
" thousands who have determined to
purchase lands this fall. TO all sucl
We would say, that by purchasing
this College Land Scrip, they will ac
complish two desirable objects while
insuring the main Que Of securing 4
portion of the public domain-yiz
They will benefit themselves by sa.
wing in the purchase money, and they
will be assisting to insure the prompt
ialc of the scrip, and consequently
the earlier accomplishment Of the dc
sirablc object for which the land'
were donated by the Government
Moreover, il is safer, while "pros.

to have the scrip in ones pocket than
