than was added to the. quota Of the
l1th. Again the I'd District has
been reduced 92s and the 1lth In
creased S41. The enrolment of the
lst District figures up $3.50 men lia-
Bile to draft, and the second 10,575,
while the 11th amounts to less than
either.
We submit this statement to the
Judgment of all honest men, and ask
them whether or not, the suspicious
of ''foul play" that now prevail in
the minds of the people, are not JUS
tilted by the facts. If the first state
ment pubhshad by the Provost Mar
shall General be erroneous, all con-
nected with it deserve to be kicked
out of Office for making so egregious
blunder. If the last assignment
be brought about by fraud, and base
tampering with the enrolments SO as
to relieve the lst and I'd wealthy dis
/ tricts, and throw the burden on the
18th and 18th, then they deserve
little wholesome hanging, and th'
sooner it is done the better satisfied
will the people be. In fact the whole
system from the big Fry at Washing
ton, down to the smallest Fry tina
signs himself Capt, and Provost Mar
shal, has become odious to the peo
pie, and offensive to honest men. l
is high time the whole thing shoulC
be reformed in such a manner as Il
do justice to private citizens, and b
made less tempting to the cupidit,.
of dishonest Office holders.

: from Sherman's army. Branchville
is reported captured, but nothing au-
thentic has been issued by the War
Department The rebels are greatly
excited in regard to Sherman's move
ments and the on Of the Richmond
papers, is any thing but cheering to
their side of the case. Sherman will
go where he pleases, and they well
know it. HIS victorious legions are
not to be driven from their course by
any force which Lee can send against
them. We hope to publish in our
next issue; full particulars of Sher-
mans doings in "the heroic little
State of South Carolina"
From Grants army We have no
news of any importance since the
late engagement at Hatcher's Run,
Every thing seems quiet, and await
ing the result of Sherman's move
ment. Grant was in Washington a
few days since, on business, the par
ticulars of which will be found in
another column.
From Sheridan we have no news
whatever. "All quiet on the Poto-
mac" tells the whole story.
Gen. Thomas army is quietly res
ting in camp, and ready for yigor
Gus spring campaign. As soon as
the roads will admit of the transpor-
tation of army trains, we may look
for active operations on all sides,
having for their objective point the
doomed city of Richmond.

@ 1t is currently reported and
generally believed, that the 18th
District has been hugely victimized,
in the assignment of her quota under
the present call. Some folks call it
swindling, on large scale That
there has been some kind of 'She
nanigan" allowed at Headquarters is
apparent to every observing mind.
Look at the figures and then cypher
it out for yourselves dear readers
those of you particularly who yet re-
main in your "uncle's" books.
Shortly after the call was made on
the 10th Dec, 1864, the quota Of the
State of Ohio, was fixed at 96, ,i35 OF
which the 1Ith District was required
10 furnish $50. We felt proud OF
this, because it showed the 1lth as
the Lowest in the State, and conse-
quentIy that 1t had done lis whole
duty in furnishing volunteers on pre-
Iious calls. We were confident that
the quota of 6 allia out of that assign
ment of $50, would easily be filled
IL volunteers. Shortly after, it was
Announced that the enrolments were
to he corrected, and all names taken
of: that were improperly placed
thereon. It was presumed that this
would not add any to our quota, but
probably diminish it.
When it was announced that the
revision of the enrolment all over the
State, reduced the quota 10e, max
ing it 26,027, our people were con-
tent with the result, and ready to
make up the quota required.
After protracted season Of sus-
pense, by the kindness of one of our
citizens, we were furnished with the
quota of the District 1161, or 84l
more than the amount stated in the
circular letter ofthe Provost Marshal
General, of Dec. 23d, 1864, and Gal
1ia county required to raise nearly as
many as were first assigned to the
whole district.
= Now look at this side of the pic
: ture.z The lst and I'd Districts are
located in Hamilton county. Under
che first assignment in Dec. 1864, the
1st District was required to furnish
2,117 men. Under the late revised
e assignment the number is fixed at
& il5, a reduction Of l462, and l26 less

NFor some tine past, many OF
our citizens have been greatly an
noyed by set of mischievous ras-
Gals, breaking down or removing
gates from door yards, after night,
and allowing cattle to get in and des-
troy shrubbery, and gardens.
1t has been carried to such an ex-
tent that many persons have de-
termined to take summary measures
with any scoundrels caught at it.
Three ofthese gate breakers attempt
ed the game at the residence of Mrs.
Clendenin on second Street. They
were quietly called upon by Mr.. John
B. Clendenin her son, to desist, but
politely requested him to go to -
Whereupon arming himself with a
poker he pitched into the rowdies,
and very. soon put them to fight,
leaving one of them in a condition
to repent of his folly. Mr.. Clendenin
received one or two cuts from a knife
in the hands of one of the party, but
nothing very serious.
This may prove salutary lesson
to this class of rowdies with which
our town is infested A friend al
our elbow asks where our police
were when the fight was going on, on
one ofour most public thoroughfares,
in sight of the public square, and
but a few rods from the Mayors
office. We silenced his insinuations
by politely informing him that il
was none of his ''biz" Said she
couldn't see it." We referred him to
''brother countryman."

NEWS SUMMARY.

NEh > OC NJ MA n
The copperheads of Connecticut
held State Convention at Middle
town, on the sth inst, and set up the
same ticket beaten last fall. 1t will
be anuihilsted this campaign
Among the resolutions is one de-
claring Estate sovereignty, the cor
ner stone of our liberties" Another
bitterly denounces :he amendment
prohibiting slavery. In every re-
specs the convention could have
safely held its session in Richmond.
The Military Commission now
trying the Chicago conspirators at
Cincinnati is likely to make matters
decidedly warm for the "great un-
hung" Testimony is conclusive as
to Vallandigham, being the grand
commander of the infamous order of
the Sons of Liberty. 1t is to be
hoped he will reap the reward of his
crimes.
The Philadelphia Press says
s250.000 have been paid to one col
lector in that city, since the publica-
ton of the income tax in the papers.
1t shows that public opinion is a
powerful agent in making some men
honest.
The special income tax of Col.
W. B. Thomas, of tie 192d Pa, who
figured so conspiciously last fall in
Gallipolis, is published at SlO,2Il-
showing his income to be over $780,
900 annually.
The Treasury Department has
sent S2,000,000 to Cincinnati Quar-
master, to pay up old Indebtedness.
When it will extend the like favor to
this post, no man knoweth.
The widow of Gen Lander,
known as Mrs. Jean Davenport has
returned to the stage. She made her
rentree at Niblos Garden, New York,
on Monday, to the most brilliant and
fashionable audience ever collected
in that city.
AT a Sanitary Fair recently held
at Newark, Ohio, the little sergeant
Johnny Glen, received the largest
number of votes for the sword.
- Stupendous frauds by bounty
brokers haye been discovered in
New York not only in the city, but
over the State. Copperhead rule ha:
| favored these friends of Gov. Sey
mour to a remarkable extent. They
are likely to obtain justice.
1t was stated by Mr.. West oi
the OHIO Senate, in discussion on
the bounty bill, that 1900 of ouI
new conscripts had deserted to the
rebels, at the battle of Franklin
Bounty jumpers and refugees are
not the material to fight rebels.
The receipts from internal rev.
enue for three days prior to Monday
last, amounted to nearly S4,000,000
The war department has deci'
ded that refugees driven asoay from
their homes and temporarily resid.
ing in the North, are not subject to
draft. When they have voluntarily
left Dixie, and come within our line
they are not exempt.
An immediate exchange of pris-
oners is looked for. Those at Flor
ence and Columbia, will probably be
exchanged first
The whole number of sick and
wounded in Union Hospitals, up to
31st January, is 10000.

I take my pen in hand to ad-
dress few lines, to give You an ac-
count of our campaign after the rebel
army from Nashville, toward this
place. Although not in the fight, we
were close enough to see some of the
operations of it, but as you have no
doubt heard all about the fight | will
simply confine myself to little ac-
count of our trip with some prisoners
that we captured, or that were given
over to our command to guard back
to Nashville. Quite a number OF
these were Irish, and very free in
giving their opinions of the war, and
the situation of the rebel army. All
prisoners, or nearly all, agree in say
ing that there is no use for them to
fight any longer, and while some OF
them were telling what they came
out to fight for, saying that they were
fighting for their rights, one, Tex
an got up, and said, Il will tell you
what l have been fighting for almost
four years, here it is" and he pulled
out little Southern scrip, said he,
''this is what we get for fighting, and
when have all that can get, it viii
not buy me pair of boots, but if l
can get some of your money can
buy whatever want that is to be had
by any means.
The prisoners nearly all were very
poorly off for clothing and shoes
Some times 1 would get tired OF
marching through the mud and rain,
but when l saw the rebel prisoners
and the greater part of them so very
poorly clad, and a great many of them
old men, borne down with age, and
some young boys, going along with
out any shoes and seemingly without
murmur, L would get ashamed OF
myself for thinking that l had hard
time oft f.
No army in the world is fed, clothed
and paid like ours. The rebels see
this, and it makes them still more
dissatisfied with their condition -
They all want peace, and would
gladly accept it on most any terms.
Many of them say they don't want to
be exchanged if they have to go back
to the rebel army. They prefer re-
naming in the North, and living
among the hated Yankees, to being
starved in the Confederacy. They
are getting their eyes opened and by
the time the next campaign is over,
their will be few left any where to
oppose the Union army.
