On Monday last, at about 10 o'clock, a
man named Davis, who had entered the
service as substitute at Peoria, jumped
through the window Of a ear on the To-
ledo, Peoria and Warsaw railroad. near
Colesville, while the train was running at
the rate of about fifteen miles per hour,
and ran for the timber not far from the
track. There being snow upon the ground
at the time, the guards Immediately dis
covered him, and some three or four
jumped from the platform of the car and
commenced firing at him. He was in ad-
vance Of the guards about forty rods,
when he was brought down by four pistol
shots, one breaking his leg, one entering
his shoulder, another wounding hin in
the arm, and one in the brest. He lived
about fifteen minutes after being shot
His remains passed through this city yes

We learn that some four or FIVE military
discharge papers, probably forged, were
found upon his person, and receipt for
money sent to some person in New York
| Schenck of Ohio-sometimes by cOur-
tesy called General Schenck-took oc-
casion on Saturday to insult the Democrat
ic members of the House by accusing
them of factious opposition to the conscrip-
ton bill. Schneck was told very plainly
that he was liar, which he took very
quietly. He. it will be remembered was
the General who dumped down whole
railroad train of soldiers in front of rebel
battery at Vienna early in the war, the re-
suit of which was that nearly all of the poor
fellows were killed before they reached
the ground. After this exploit Of the
Ohio General he was taken from the field
and sent to Baltimore, Mr.. Lincoln regar-
ding him as better fitted for whipping
the rebels in petticoats than rebels in
arms. From Baltimore he was transferred
to Washington as member of congress

These arrivals impart considerable animation to
trade, which is generally in remarkably healthy con-

From the commencement of this great

From the commencement of this great
contest the State of Ohio has occupied
no doubtful or hesitating position. Our
people have assumed their burthens with
alacrity, and borne them with cheer
fulness. They have responded promp-
titude to every call that has been made
upon them; and without passing the
bounds of becoming modesty, they NAV
point with emotions of pride to the re-
cord which her sons have made for the
State in the council and in the field
Ohio officers have command with distinc-
ton and honor in nearly every depart
ment of the service; and Ohio soldiers
have battled with exalted courage and
patriotism upon nearly every field of the
war, and marched over portions of every
State that the reasonable leaders took
into rebellion. At all times, and at all
places, they have nobly done their duty;
achieving for themselves and rejecting
upon their State the highest honor
True, there have been grevious sacrifices;
there has been mourning at many hearth
stones; and we have often been called
to pause in our exultation over the noble
conduct of our living heroes, to lament
our heroes dead; but even the eye be-
dimmed with tears has caught glance of
the future, and the stricken heart has
found consolation in the assurance that
all these sacrifices will be hallowed in
the triumph of freedom, and the coming
greatness and glory of our country
The commandment of the people is to
you and time, in our allotted spheres, to
move onward to the accomplishment of
this great end; and to contribute all of
ability and usefulness we possess to the
consummation of that grand triumph, in
which not only ourselves, but the friends
of free government throughout the world
will rejoice.
