Grand Re-Unl8n and Returned
Soldiers Reception.

The Union Central Committee of Bel
mont County in furtherance of the wishes
of the late Union Convention have arraing-
ed for Grand Re- Union, or Returned
Soldiers Reception and welcome, to be held
on the S9th Anniversary Of our National
Independence, at the town of st. Clairs-
vile.
This reception is intended for all returned
soldiers and their families, the widows
and orphans of those who have died in the
service, and the wives and families of those
who are still in the service, and they
are all invited to be present, and
it is expected that the Township Commit
tees will SEQ that every man, woman and
child, belonging to either of these classes,
within the limits Of the county, able to be
here, will be brought out to enjoy the oc-
casion. Complete and ample arrangements
will be made for the accommodation of all.
The nations defenders, who, for our
safety, and for the preservation ofa nation 5
unity and life, have sacrificed so much, and
who have so nobly and bravely labored
fought and suffered during the past four
years for the overthrow of the rebellion, the
punishment of treason, the vindcation of
national honor and the perpetuity Of our
Republican Government, are entitled to the
highest consideration and the unreserved
thanks of grateful, patriotic people. On
their return to our midst from the hard
ships and exposures Of the Camp, the
march and the battle field, where they have
so fully accomplished the purpose for which
they left their homes, they should receive
such an ovation, such q welcome as will
make them feel that their services have
been and are duly appreciated by those
whose rights and interests they have so fully
secured and protected.
Let the people, then, of Belmont County,
old and young, male and female, whose
hearts beat warmly for the patriot soldier,
come up in their might and make this q
demonstration that, like the occasion, shall
be without parallel in the history of the
past.

Now that it has been determined to
give reception to all the soldiers and
their families Of the county, let all who
are friends to the soldiers 90 to work
with a will never so great to make it a
day never to be forgotten. Now is the
fitting time and opportunity. No people
were ever 30 deserving of gratitude
They have exhibited glorious devo-
tion to the cause of Liberty and Right
The living soldiers have sacrificed
health, home and comfort The dead
have given their lives to the great cause,
and while their bones now whiten every
battle field, it would seem as if
their noble spirits are watching from
the "other Shore" with anxious So
licitude to see if their sorrow stricken
families, who have sacrificed that which
is dearer than life, are receiving pro-
per care and attention at our hands
Let us prove to them that their hus-
bands, fathers, sons and brothers are
not forgotten. OF our kindness and
good things, let us all give freely
on that day. Let all other contempla-
ted celebrations be given over or
brought here. Let sun shine nor
shower prevent your coming. Let
those who have teams provide for those
who have not. Let not q soldier or
soldiers family be overlooked. Let
those who. have, bring with them hams,
chickens, dried beef, butter, cheese,
DC. Ample arrangements will be made
here for the reception and distribution
thereof. Let the Central and Town
ship Committees meet at their various
places of meeting and organize and
put the ball in motion at once. Let
everybody act, no matter whether he or
she is or is not announced as a mem
Der OF some Committee, give your time
from this until the 4th to the mon who
have so nobly and freely given their
all to you.
CONE Win FLiGs, WITH BANNERS,
WITH NOTICES AND WITH MUSIC. Let
those who live in distant parts of the
county start before daylight Let the
hills and valleys Of Old Belmont re-
vertebrate with songs and thanks to
"God who giveth us the victory" and
to His Instruments, our soldiers, who
have saved us from disunion, anarchy
and destruction.
All should be here if possible by 10
o'clock. Good music will be in atten-
dance. Everything that can be is be
ing done by our Committees here to
it "a feast oflove and flow of soul"

woumly Regulations.

The Second Controller decided that to
entitle a wounded soldier to bounty, the
wounds for which he may be discharged
must be direct result or necessary incident
of his military service 1t must be in the
line of his duty as a soldier, not in The
peaceful occupation of citizen. The
wounds for which bounty s provided must
be- the consequence Of hostilities actually
going on at the time. He further d de =,
a soldier in the Regular Army, enlisted after
the 18th otJuly, 1864, is entitled by law to
the same bounty, in every respect, as vol
untcor eni,ting after that date, and as a
volunteer for three years, enlisting after
the Presidents Proclamation would have
been entitled to $500 bounty, payable at
the time and on the conditions named in
the law. y e regular cnlistng after that
date is also clearly entitled to it.

"InsuIt TO the Soldiers.n

The Gazette is in terrible agony
over the fact that the soldiers have
been invited to reception here on the
4th Of July, by the Union citizens, and
calls 1t an ''insult to these brave men,"
Poor Devils! We told you four years
ago there would time come when these
brave men would come home In tri-
umph, and that you would have no
share in their glory, and it has como
and our advice to you is to keep quiet
and die as easily as you can. You and
your party did everything you could
for four years to defeat the object of
these brave men and to bring them
home in disgrace but they triumphed,
and we tell you again you have no part
in their glory. Insult to Soldiers =
What greater insult could be offered
than JoHS ii. HEAToN and the kindred
spirits Of his party to mix with patri-
otic citizens in Offering to receive the
soldiers? And We can truthfully say,
the very reason why HRAToN and his
friends were excluded from this recep.
tion was because we knew their pres.
ence would be an insult to the brave
and patriotic men who have been bat
Ting against this rebellion for the last
four years.
There are a few kindred spirits
around here. ex- officers of the c. S. A.;
take them, JOHNNY, get a few of your
political friends and big jug of whisky,
60 on the 4th OF July into some deep
hollow, and there with the bats and
owls let the glorious 4th pass over your
treason accursed heads. You don't
want to look at the flag of our country
on that day. We again say, this day
Is not your triumph, not your glory
60 Fith your friends and your jug.

ARE YOU sure, Progress, that the negro
was the cause of all these woes? 1t strikes
us that he is entirely innocent. The sin of
keeping him in state of slavery was the
real cause. He has now been declared free.
If the Southern people would escape further
troubles, let them recognize this fact, and
meet all the responsibilities it brings honestly
and cheerfully. The negro has labored well
as slave-better than we had any right to
expect when we consider that his toll was
almost wholly unrequitted. In a state of
freedom he will do better, far better, if he
is treated kindly and generously, and
encouraged to improve and elevate his con-
dition.-I Nashville Union.

The Abotionists Of st. Clairsville, We
are informed, are discussing the propriety
of using the soldiers, they have invited here
to public reception on the Fourth Of July,
as a mob to clean OUT the rebel soldiers
who are now here on visit to their rela-
tives. They will find the men who have
barred their breasts in honorable warfare too
honorable TO become the supple tools and
mobecrats in the hands of abolition out
laws. .-TSt. Clairsville Gazette.
HEAToN and his friends are terribly
solicitous in regard to the safety ofthe
half dozen Rebel soldiers that he and
his friends are "feasting and toasting"
around this place. We are not aware
that any Abolitionist is particularly
anxious to have these gents cleaned
out No one, to our knowledge, has
threatened them. 1t is true that men
guilty of the highest crimes known to
the laws of the land, are not such men
as we feel like "feasting and toasting;"
it is true that the brave men who
"cleaned" these rebel friends of HEA-
TONS out down in Dixie did not ex-
pect to find them enjoying the hospi-
talities of our county, and staggering
around our streets arm in arm with
county officials; and they may object
to the arrangement Yet as to Aboli-
tionists getting up a mob to "clean
them out" or discussing the propriety
of such a thing, it is all creation Of
