STATEMENT OF 7. b. WEBSTER.

Mr.. D. d. Martin, Of Oceoa, wishes
me to state to the public through your
paper, what he told me in reference to
the wool matter that has been talked o!
by people generally. l was in the store
of Mr.. Martin, one or two days before
the wool was taken by Sheriff Warden,
and Mr.. Martin asked me if | would
make a good detective. | told him l
thought not. Mr.. Martin then told me
that there was some stolen wool some
place, but did not mention the place; and
Mr.. Martin wanted me to go with him,
to see the man that had the wool stolen,
to tell him Of it. He gave me as reason
for wanting me to 90 with him, this:--
That he was AFRAID that if the parties that
stole the wool, would find out that he
bad reported them, they would burn him
out or kill him. | then told Mr.. Martin
that | could not go, for was not well
Mr.. Martin then said to me, that if there
was any thing done it must be done al
once, as the thieves intend to move the
wool soon; and while Mr. Martin and my
self were still talking, Mr.. Jacob Haehn
came in the store, and told the Doctor
that Sheriff Wardon had sent word by
him to the Doctor, that if the Doctor
would come up to Bucyrus. he, the Sher-
itf, would put the Doctor on track Of his
watch, and tell him how to proceed to
get the watch.
! can make oath to the above if re
quired.

extent he had to iujure me, would do any
thing to accomplish his purpose; and after
coming to the conclusion that he would
add perjury to all the rest, l was com
pletely confounded aud confused.
Whether Mucher mistook my object,
| will not undertake to conjecture, but |
will say, that some Of his testimony APP
pears to me more like wishing to damage
me and a helping the boys out Of this
scrape than giving a correct version OF
the matter, or "setung a good example
before his family"
The whole case may be summed up in
a few words--I had track of some thieves,
acted as detective, aud got them all freed
from the very start. had informed one
and another Of the most respectable in,
habitants of all my plans, and consulted
with them with regard TO all the steps
taken in ferreting out the thieyes--all was
ready TO shake the bush and catch the
game, when | informed Sheriff Warden,
in the same way, had some eight other
most respectable persons. one of whom
went with me the very first time took
the first step in the matter--and he Sher-
if Warden, instead of keeping his word
with me, betrayed his trust, and did
everything he could to iujure me, using
the most dishonorable means in doing it,
and did not arrest single one of the
thieves, known TO be such by their own
confession.
1t is true the two Merricks were ar
rested in Wyandot county, but not by
him. And George keiser, the most
prominent of all the known thieves, after
being about for some days, has come up
missing. Was this part of the plan, to
arrest the Innocent and not those who
were known TO be guilty? Of course, he
and his friends, as we'll as the friends OF
all those known to be guilty, will do all
they can to injure me in the eyes of the
public, which will be in keeping with
what has been done already.
Hoping that right and justice may
prevail in the end, | close for the present

Kentucky Election.


The result of the Kentucky election 10
much more favorable to the Union cause
than the most sauguine anticipated. The
Rebels and Copperheads have succeeded
in elccting their candidate for State
Treasurer by majority $4,000 to 5000
"a Union gain of over 10000 since the
Presidential election. The same party
have a majority OF four members in the
Senate, while the complexion Of the
House is very nearly even-hopes being
entertained that the Union party will
have majority in that branch. tff I'D
But the result Of the Congressional
election furnishes the most cause for
congratu!ation. OF the nine members.
the Union party have elected FIVE, viz:
George II. Yeamsn, in the second Dis
trct; Lowell H. Rousseau, in the 9Th
District; Green Clay Smith, in the sixth
District William H. Randall, 10 the 9th
District, and Samnel Mckee in the ninth
District.
In the late Congress there were but
three Union members from Kentucky.
Free speech and free ballot is destined
to make Kentucky free and prosperous

REFIvAL OF Business For several
weeks past the revival of business in this
city 10 quite noticeable fact. The
streets have been thronged daily with
people from the country and the crowd
still continues. Every department Of
trade was going ahead with a perfect
rush. Cotton buyers were thicker than
money changers in the Temple or I'D
dlers in hi They were ravenous for
cotton, smelling it afar off, and pursuing
the wagons laden with the staple with
the most untiring zeal. They swarm
around q cotton bale like snts ON q
crumh, and are as hard to shake off as
the itch. There is money in cotton,
and q great many enterprising men have
found it out The country people GER
tainly have no right to complain of q
want Of attention to their interests on
the part of the cotton brokers and busi-
ness men Of Vieksburg, for they nurse
them faithfully.
Yesterday, Washington street was
white with cotton bales, and crammed
with wagons. 1t was almost impossi-
bic for vehicles to pass on some por-
tions of the street, in consequences of
the crowd. Broad.horned souvenirs OF
the good days by-gona, patiently draw
ing heavy cotton wagons, passsd and re-
passed our window from early dawn to
dewy eve, and the drivers made the air
vocal with their voices, shouting the
word of command. 9-E IH9 nL
