Howeu COM ON the Ramnage.


howell Cobb, of Georgia, formerly
Speaker of the United States House of Re
presentativea, addressed the people Of
Georgia, on the 18th ult, in the following
strain: y l-s
There is no longer any ground for diff
ferences of opinion among men who are
true. From this tune forth, mark the men
who begin to talk about peace, who say the
war ought to close, are despondent, encour-
age disafections and i'll feeling toward our
efforts to prosecute the war, and whose
words and conduct show that they are in
favor Of reconstruction, though they do not
talk it openly. Keep your eyes on the
man who talks this way It is better to be
free than rich. Its better TO be beggsrs
and free than to be enslsved and have mil
lions of the miserable perishing stuff we
call property. Some persons think I am
more interested in our success than people
generally. This is great mistake The
tree upon which Lincoln will hang me,
when he catches me, will not wither and
die till he hangs you upon it also Lincoln
hates me, and l know it; and if you think he
loves you, you are greatly mistaken. Ponder
well, hesitate long, before you yield tothe
delusive hope of a restoration of the Union.
Go among the people where the Yankee
conquest has prevailed Would that you
could have accompanied me to the Gate
City few days since Norman can form
any conception of the cruel, Wanton de-
struction but those who see it. Standing
there and beholding the wreck and rum
around me- l asked-Why, oh, why is
this2 When the enemy comes TO our
plantations and takes our stock and pro
visions, can understand that. It is tosup-
ply his wants. Atlanta is almost one vast
bile of ruins. When Sherman left it the
incendis Y torch was applied indiscrimi4
nately; was this necessary to his success :?
Did it add any new lsurels to Sherman,
except to that wreath Of infamy for his pre-
vious villainies Then why was it?
answer 1t was prompted by their malignan!
hate of our people, their uDquenchable and
hell-bOrn hate. Do.you ask me to recon-
struct with them? I went TO the grave
yard, and stood there among the city of the
dead. There were hundreds, perhaps thous-
snds, Of our gallant soldiers sleeping quiet
Iy their last sleep, who had given their
lives holy sacrifice for our holy cause.
And l. thought of reconstruction and il
seemed as though voice rose from the
graves Of the gsllsnt desd, saying 'rNeVer,
touch it not p sn1 I called upon God 10
witness that had sworn never would;
and so halpme God, never VIII Bn-
thnsiEstio and prolonged cheering) Life
is but q span. Property is but q feeting
show. Put me in the grave, but never put
on me the gsrment Of s submission:st

EDITORS LEADER: The repairs on the
Atlantic & Great Western Road from Sal
amAnca to Cleveland are now completed,
and all trains, except express, are again
running with accustomed regularity. The
rapidity with which washed embankments
were alled in, land slides removed, iron
relald, and sll the labor necessary to re-
store the track to running condition was
performed, is little less than marvellous. 1t
was not expected that any trains could reach
Salamanca before tomorrow, but the re-
pairs were completed last Sunday night,
and on Monday several hundred hands
were gathered here from the Eastern and
Western Divisions ready to go to work on
the FrankliL Branch, and by Monday
travel will be resumed to Franklin and
Oil City.
Meadville exhibits plenty of evidences of
the food, but the debris is rapid being
cleaned away and soon ell traces of its
aqueous immersion will have disappeared.
The McHenry House is being put in
trim as fast as possible, and in few days
Mr.. Taylor will be able to accom-
modGte the usual number of his
of his guests. To be shut out from the
house at such time is real calamity to
the sravelIDg public. Your correspondent
was one of the very few that found DOM
iclle under the friendly roof of the MeHen-
ry, for which he is indebted to special
efforts made in his behalf
Mr. Page, who has made himself so pop
ular with the guests of the McHenry since
it opened, we regret to learn, has retired
Tuesday night the wind blew gale,
with much rain, and yesterday morning it
commenced showing heavily, continuing
through the day. This morning the hills
we're covered with the feecy mantle, which
is being deepened by steady fall of heavy
fakes, that come gyrating down as if the
supply were inexhaustible. The aspect Is
as wintry as January.
Meadville is thoroughly within the magic
circle of which Oil Creek is the grand CEN
ter, and already the want of hotels is So
riously felt. It is q sort of point d. dppli
from which any important oil point can be
reached with the greatest facility, and will
in consequence become the fsvorite rem
! dezvous of oil mon It ia 8 paradise com.
pared to any town on the creek.
You will not hear rom me again till
reach Oil City. Yours, B.

limbs of all travellers who fell into
his hands 10 the same ned,-stretch-
ing the limbs of the too short, and
chopping off those of the too long.
But, asidefrom any argument based onthe
true theory of representation, tterei is ssufh-
cient reason why those constituencies, now
go denunciatory towards their representa-
tives, should be moderate. The fact that
the Secretary of War recommended the
amendments to the enrolment law
that both Houaes of Congress
passed it-that the President signed the
bil-that the Provost Marshal General
fastened to putitinto efect-ought to teach
them modesty and cslmneas. Let them
be sure they understand the subject as web
IS all those officials, before they decide
there was no necessity for the new system.
Let them reflect that the facts bearing upon
the question sre, as yet, better understood
ia Washington than in Ohio.
There Is no way in which great injustice
is more frequently done both in public and
in private life, than in coming to final de-
cisions from incomplete knowledge of the
facts in the case whereofjudgment is given.
There iq wisdom for constituencies, SIS well
as for individuals, in the injunction: "Let
every man be swift to hear, slow to speak,
slow to wrath"

The Rattre at BentonriIIs.

Yesterday mornings telegraph contains
a report from Richmond of fight at Dem
tonville, North Carolina, in which Sher.
man was defeated with loss of three
guns. It was probably an unimportani
and indecisive affair between the rebelE
and a small 70. ce of ours, used as corps
of observation on the left flank of Sher.
mans army, on the march to. Goldsboro
Bsntonville is about twenty miles south
east of Raleigh. The fact that Sherman
has since arrived at Goldsboro, is proof
positive that the affair was of small i'm.
portance, if indeed it did not result in 3
Union victory. ---s&

t2sJsetorr.s ofthe] city Of Cleveland viii meet
z at tbsir respective polling places, and pro
coed to elect. 8 MsyOrs OommissiOner Of
Water Works, Police Judge, 8 Clerk Of
Police Court, City Marshal, a City Com
missioner, 3 Director Of Inhrmsry, City

Union Convention for the purpose OF
nominating candidEsss for these offices
q viii be held on Thursday next So
we urge on that convention the essen
tisi Importance of selecting as candidates
the men best ftted for the'ofices- Let Us
have good business men-men who have
won distinction for their ability and sue
cess in. tbe1isual walks of life-put in nom
instion for these important posts. Let the
Union men of. the city of Cleveland select
their candidates, as they would select their
emgtoyss, because Of their .tfttsss 70 dis
ckerqs the duties of their Offices. Let uf
place in control of the interests OF the city
men who are worthy representatives of its
business and intelligence. Cleveland is nc
longer q country village or rural town
Its the second city inthe ststeand its com
mercisl and manufacturing interests are
rsuidly becoming of the first Importance
Already its favorable situation, its size, its
rapid growth, IFS commercial influence, and
its various advantages as lake port have
attracted the favorable attention Of Con-
qress 20 its elains to the national ship-ysrd
snd nsvsl depot to be established on the
lakes. The question as to the location o.
this naval depot viii probably be decided
during the administration of the officers
who are to be elected on the Sd ProTinaO
Let MS see TO It that the claims of Cleve-
land are entrusted to men vhowill support
them with ability and discretion.
To secure this end the ward meetings must
be fully attended. Too often these primary
met ttings are left 10 the management Of 8
clique Of local politicians managed by 8
few intriguing men, who elect themselves
ss delegates to a convention which ough'
to represent the people of the city. We
trust this will not be so on next Wednes.
day night. We trust that every trut
Union man will deem it psrt of his duty
not only to Cleveland but to the country
TO stteni his ward meeting. Let nc
private business prevent the performance
of this public duty. Let each man ar
range his engagements SO as to leave nex'
Wednesday night free TO this work. The
ward meetings held at that time not emily
nominate delegates to the Union Conven
ton, but also will put in nomination 3
trustee and assessor in each ward, and, in
the First, Second, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth Wards, member Of the Board oi
Education. These offices should be filed
by good men, and we hope that the pri-
mary meetings for their nomination may
be universally attended.

RuSSeIl'S FOreSa City House,
From MONDAY, May 18th, until SAT-
URDAY, May 10th.

DR.. @. B. LIGHTHILL'S first visit to
Ohio was induced by numerous applics-
tions for treatment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully treated except after
q personal examination. His practice has
been 80 successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his services, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quests of msny citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters so that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years DR.. Lighthil
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment Of deafness and catsrrh in its vsri-
GUS forms. He has practiced in New York
and other principal Eastern cities, where
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. E.B. Lighthill, and, to
gether, they have acquired standing
which has earned for the " "Lighthill In

Help for eur Released Prisoners.
We call the special attention Of the Sol
dierg Aid Societies of Ohio to the urgent
appeal of Quartermsster General Barlow
for sanitary stores for our released pris-
oners, who are now arriving by thousands
at Annapolis. The need is one which ad.
mits of no delay in supplying it. 1t is un-
necessary for US to tell our readers how
terribly our poor boys have suffered in
rebel prisons, or how great their want
now that they have been released, Of i'm
mediate relief. All who have seen our
returned prisoners at Annapolis agree in
declaring their condition too terrible for
imagination. And. owing to the auddenness
with which they have arrived, the means
of the government for supplying their
wants has as get been inadequate, and the
poor fellows have been loud in their com
plants ss to the reception they have met
with. We trust that Soldiers Aid Socie-
ties will lose no delay in complying with
General Barlow's appeal.
OFFICE OF THE QUARTERMAsTER GEN
OF ONO, COLUMBUS, o. Feb. 81. +
To the Soldiers Aid Societies Of 0Aios
The large numbers of exchanged pris'
oners now arriving at Annapolis increase
the demand for sanitary stores, especially
for pickles, krout vegetables and came
fruits. Shirts, drawers, socks, and other ar.
ticles of comfort, are also in constant and
increasing demand. Urgent appeal il
made to the friends of soldiers for immedi.
and constant contributions.
Pickles, krout, vegetables and canned
fruits may be shipped direct to j. @. Wet
more, Ohio Military State Agent, Wash
ington, D. O., or to this point.
An articles received will be promptly
forwarded to the points where they are
most needed. 5
Let not interest for our soldiers subside
but let labor for their care and comfort be
constant and unfagging.
