Turn out, fellow citizens. The issue before
our country is one of most vital import
ance. The political party that opposed us
during the long bloody struggle, and that
denounced the war as being crusade
against the dearest rights of the South,
have struck hands with the traitors who
plundercd and robbed the Government,and
murdered her loyal and patriotic citizens
and who demand of us that we~ restore to
power in the halls of legislation those very
men who by perjury abandoned their seats
in 1861, and infamously rebelled against
the constitutional government reared by
our fathers. Shall treason be made odious
and traitors punished? The Union party
says yes. Shall traitors be paid for their
treason by being given positions of honor
that they traitorously abandoned and de-
nounced? The Union party says no. -
Let, the long roll be sounded all along
the line! Soldiers, '@fall !'-yourp old
enemy is upon you 1.-The fruits Of your
toll and your, suffering are about to be
traded off for rebel votes. Stand to your
colOrs, bows!

Heat for Railway Cars.

!" A new method Of heating railway
cars has been invented, by which their
own motion is made to generate heat
A cone of wood covered with hemp is
placed in a hollow cone Of copper, and
both are enclosed in a metallic vessel,
through which air, heated by the mo-
ton of the. cone, iseonveyed. into the
car. This apparatus is so arranged
motion is given to the wooden cone by
the axles Of the, car, and the air sur
rounding the copper cone thus becomes
heated. The, power required is very
small-about one-twentieth Of a single
horse power; and in Prussia, where
this system is in use, iu ten minutes .
car can be heated as high as 70 degrees
when the temperature outside is at the
freezing point. The system no 'doub'
is very good one if the cars ARE al
ways in motion; but the passengers OF
cold days would freeze if they stood
still for any length Of time.

The Late New Orleans Riots.

A New Orleans special to the Tri-
bune says: Official information at
head quarters shows that the state
ment of Lieut.. Gov. Voorhees, that twen-
ty-two policemen and several citizens
were either killed or wounded, is an
unmitigated falsehood. One police
man died Of injuries, three were badly
wounded One citizen, rebel, was
killed accidentally by the police on the
other side. The record will show the
slaughter to be over 100 Union men,
and the wounding of about 800. These
are facts. l have it from trust worthy
auth ority that Gen. Sheridan telegram
of the 1st Of August was perverted for
political purl os s, Among the SEN
tences withheld from publication was
one that he (Sheridan) held Mayor
John J. Monroe responsible for the
murders committed on Monday.
L. T Butts, Of the Freedmen's Bu.
Ireau, has been murdered and robbed,
in Jackson Parish. The rebels are
complaining that they did not kill
enough Yankees and conventioners
but brag that the time is coming when
they will finish their work Union
men are afraid to go ont on the streets
after dark, and invariably barricade
their homes during the night. While

s They do Not Agree.

While copperhead editors : in the
North are laboring to make it appear
that the recent massacre of Union men
in New Orleans was the result of a ne
gro outbreak, the rebel Mayor of that
place are endeavoring to prove that
the negroes had no hand in the affair.
Here is what he says: "The colored
population, as a body did not partici-
pate in the disgraeeful scenes, and the
freedmen in the vicinity of the riot
were standing as lockers on without
being molested. ..a,,, +',i
This completely annihilates all the
pretended excuses offered by rebel
sympathisres in the North.

COpperhead Judicial Convention.
The representatives of the verdigris
party met in this place on last Thurs
day for the purpose of nominating
candidate for Judge of the sub district
composed of Crawford, Seneca, Han
cock and Wyandot. 1t was somewhrt
amusing to see these edisinterested potri-
OTIS scramble over this little crumb. They
labored till midnight, and their labor
finally resulted as did that of the
mountain when it brought forth
mouse-that is, in the selection of
man, who, naturally at least, is proba-
bly, the most unsuitable man in the dis
trict for the position. Chester r.
Mott, the nominee, besides being a
very ordinary lawyer, is man who is
controlled in his actions almost alb
solutely by his passions and prejudices;
this, in connection with the fact that
he is bitteraly vindictive, and excitable
certainly disqualities him for the high
and important duties devolving upon
the Judiciary.
Judge Whiteley's fate was sealed
some time ago. The leaders of the
party in this county gave outsiders to
understand that the Judge had affiliat-
ed with Union men in the beginning of
the war to some extent, and that that
was sufficient to damn him with the
jeff Davis party in the district.
We would advise all those who ever
had any personal difficulty with
Judge Mott, to steer clear of his Court,
and political opponents will do well to
compromise on almost any terms rath-
er than submit their cases to his honor
he is the creature of personal and
political prejudice, with mind incapa-
BILE of freeing itself from the influences
Of this natural weakness, Whatever
may be said Of Mr.. Mott as man,
with all Difference to the opinions OF
his friends, we think this is the sorest
infiction that the people Of this dis
trict have ever been called upon to en-
dure, even at the hands of the copper
head party. s<sz,
AS the Judge is now candidate for
so important position, he of course
will not object to his neighbors speak
ing their sentiments freely, fully and
plainly, in regard to his fitness or un-
fitness for the place. Personally we
have not word TO say against Mr.,
Mott, but when our people come to
select man to dispense law and JUS
tice in their midst, they ought to take
better material than this convention
has presented,

That's What's The Matter


Some fellow who has probably felt
the weight of the national displeasure,
as an ininitesimal atom of the rebel
mass, pours forth a jeremiad in the last
issue of The Crisis, from which we ex-
tract:
To day we are no longer feared
abroad, or honored or respected by the
various powers of the earth 1! Athome
we are crushed at every step-we are
bowed down to dust by the enormous
and ever accommodating debt of five
years, our dearest rights have been deni-
&c. .our most sacred privileges have been
violated-our Constitution has been
openly destroyed financial system
ruined, and our unity as people bro
ken, perhaps hopelessly, and all for
what
tits evident that while the fellow pre-
tends to speak for the country at large
he means only the southern part of it !;
and it therefore becomes an easy mat
ter to answer his question-s'all for
what :" All because a lot of idiots
s'down South" -mistook the contempt
with which the North had listened to
their foolish boasting, for confession
of cowardice and weakness, and under
took the subversion of the Government.
The North, at the proper time, unde-
ceived them and now they must take
a back seat until the smell of blood
leavest heir clothes. That is all. Ohio

The rebel riot at New Orleans is dep
recated by the friends of the Admins
tration on account of the disastrous eff
feet it will have upon the Copperhead
prospects at the fall elections. There
is no grief, however, at the murder of
the Unionists of the Louisiana Conven-

A Tiffn Man i'm Luck.

We clip the following paragraph from
the Sacramento Weekly Union of June
23d, 1866:
We are informed by gentleman from
Rich Bar, that Irwin, Warner & Co.,
who own the ledge in French Ravine,
have been at work prospecting the
ledge and are now taking out some of
the richest gold d-bearing quartz that
has ever been found in the State. Our
informant states that the rock is filled
with gold. and in some pieces of the
quartz the gold runs through it in veins
as large as mans finger-pure gold
The specimens are as rich in gold as
those which the miners nFrench Ravine
usuallyclean up in their sluices.
Andrew Warner, one of the firm
mentioned in the extract above, resid
ed in this city some sixteen years ago,
and was in the employ of Geo. W. Cum
ningham, who at that time, was opera
ting the mill of Andrew Lookinbill. L.
He is brother in law of Mr.. H. Croft,
of this city. He left home in March,
1850, for California, where he has
since resided, and has frequently been
the recipient ofgood fortune, and, at
times, also has met with reverses; but
from the statement above, he is now in
a fair way to make good former losses.
The friends of Mr.. Warner will no
doubt be pleased to learn of his where
abouts, and of the success he is likely
to meet with, from his late ''strike' in
the quartz mines.-7Dfis Tribune.

one Blackburn, of Kentucky, credit
He says that when he was riding into
little town in Georgia, on bridge
he met two little girls, beautifully and
neatly dressed, carrying Union flags,
and hurrahing for the Union, He drew
q pistol and shot both dead. He says
he is sorry for it. He is Democrat,
