CLIMATE, &C.
The climate here is very warm. All
the bottom lands have been taken up
by large planters, and poor white men
have been excluded, but north of this
there is one Dutch settlement and one
Indiana settlement with very few ne
groes, making it more like the North
ern States.
The corn and cotton crops promise
well if nothing disturbs the latter. In
some parts the crops are retarded by
weeds, owing to the laziness of the
freedmen. There are some COM
plants here against the Freedmen's
Bureau, some of them just and some
not. The Texans viii generally do
what they promise, and if the freed
man does his duty he will get his
wages. They generally get one-fourth
of the crop, and, if they desire it, a
patch to work for themselves. Many
of the freedmen are lazy and thriftless.
The secessionists curse the Yankees
and say the devil win get them, while
the freedmen bless the Yankees, and
say they will all go to heaven. Any
one who is industrious can easily
make living here. Plenty of in
dustrious farmers alone are needed to
develope the. country and make it one
of the greatest in the world.

BY the arrivals Of the Peruvian
and the China at New York, on Mon
day last, we have the latest news
from Europe. The Prussian forces
have advanced into Holster, while
the Austrian troops have conccntra-
ted at Altoona. Count Bismark ad
dressed very sharp and bitter let
ter to the representatives Of Prussia
ut foreign courts, denounciug Aus
trials plan and course The London
Times says that all courtesy has been
thrown aside, and he has exposed his
real feelings. The Telegraph says
there can be no hopes OF peace after
such words. France will occupy q
neutral position, n French journal
asserts, unless the honor and in
terests of the nation demand of her
some active part. Spain and Portu-
gal have agreed to reserve close
neutrality.
1t is believed that the first event
will occur in the Elbc Duchics, but
that Austria's great movement will
be an attempt TO possess herself of
Silesia. The Austrian army is now
100000 strong, OF whom 600,00 will
comprise the army Of operations
The Prussian Amy is tho largest
which she has ever set on foot. The
Emperor Of Austria was expected at
Prague should war break out. The
London Times says, that the critical
relations on the continent have saved
the British Ministry.
The cholera was raging in Nantes,
and also in Holland. More failures
are reported in England, though the
financial panic was passing away.

A Poor witness.

A writer to the Hancock JErFER
soSIAS by the name Of Pope, or Bope,
in two column article attempts to
prove that General LeFevcr was o
coward and never did good service
IN the field. The absurdity Of the
charge is made apparent by the fac,
that General Lc Fever went into The
war n private and came out a Brig.
adler They don't promote towards
in that way in the army. For the
information Of soldiers it is only nee.
essary for us to state that the indi
vidual who started tho slander went
into the army a Captain, and came
out a Captain!. Soldiers understand
what kind of man such an individ
ual Is Fremont Messsnser.
1t is supposed that the editor OF
the Courier, being too cowardly to
attack Col. Bope openly. sent the
above to the dirty thing at Fremont
knowing that there was no depth oi
mcanncss to which il would not dc.
scend.
Once for all, we say that our in.
formation was not received fran Col.
Bope, or any other commissioned
officer. We will inform the Mes.
senger Of another fact. Col. Bope en-.
tered the army MS Captain and was
out as Lieut.. Col. "Gen.
lie Fever" entered the same reg.
iment As Adjutant, and was mus.
tered out as Major. II our Copper,
head friends are particularly anx-
ious to know who our informant was,
let them call and we will checrfully
give them his name.

Death Of Genera, ca IS.

General Cass died at his residence
in Detroit, Sunday morning, June II,
at about four o'clock.
Lewis Cass was born in Exeter,
New Hampshire, October Q, 1882,
and was educated at the Academy at
that place. His father, Revolution.
ary Major, purchased tract Of land
on the Muskingum river near Zancs-
vile, in this State, to which he re-
moved his family In 1899. Young
Cass studied law in Zanseville, was
admitted to the bar in 1902, married
In 1906, and was shortly after elected
to the Legislature Of the State.
In the war Of 1912 he took an &C.
tive part, accepted the Colonelcy OF
one OF the Ohio regiments, and was
surrendered with Hull. Being ex-
changed shortly afterward he joined
Harrison's army as Colonel in the
regular service, and was soon after
promoted to the rank Of Bri sadier.
lie settled in Detroit In 1915, and
purchased large tracts OF land, on o
part of which the city now stands,
and which by increase of value, made
him one of the wealthiest men in the
Northwest From 1917 TO 1S4l, he
was employed among the Indians OF
Michigan and the Northwest, explor
ing the country and making treaties
with the various tribes rs the agent
OF the Government. In 1881 he was
made Secretary Of War in Jackson s
Cabinet-in 1886 sent "a Embassador
to France, and in 1885 was elected
Senator from Michigan. In 1S4S he
received the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency, but was defeated
by the treaclrery Of Van Buren and in
1852 he was the candidate for the
nomination, but was defeated by
Pierce. In March, 1857, he was ap-
pointed Secretary of State by Blu
chanan, and continued in that posi-.
ton until it become evident that Bu
chanan designed to surrender the
Government to the rebels, and rath.
er than be party to such infauiy he
resigned and retired to private life.
During the war Gen. Cass gave the
Government whatever Of influence he
possessed. A life long Democrat, he
refused to be carried with his party
into rebellion against Government
which had honored him, and cutting
loose from his old associates ranged
himsc elf with its friends and deien.

A Dirty Villain.

1hc following written by "Brlck
Pomcroy, is going the rounds of the
Copperhead papers, and receiving
great applause. 1t is fair sample
of what all OF that stripe would write
if they had the pluck:
ave did thank thank God for call
ing Lincoln home. II Lincoln is in
Heaven, ,.as. .abolitionists say, he is bet
ter off than he was in Washington,
beset by thieves, Abolitionists, army
contractors, office seekers and gaping
listeners to his smutty jokes. AS a
friend of Lincoln we thanked God for
calling so great and good a man
home before he should become dis
gusted with the Annas, the James, the
rhaddeuses, the Benjamins, the
Charleses, the Freds, and others OF
the leaders of the God and Morality
party.
We thanked God for calling Lin
coin into the presence and company
of Democrats, as he is if in Heaven.
The poor President suffered enough
from being with Abolitionists on
earth, and we thanked God for call
ing him beyond their reach here OIL
hereafter.
Whatever is, is right. God, who
rules us all, wanted Lincoln removed
He made Booth His agent; no one
but God is to blame for Lincoln S
death. God is never to blame; we.
who are Christians, should thank Him
for everything; we do so thank Him;
he who does not thank God is nc
Christian; those who assail US are nc
Christians.
We believe the country is better
off now than when Lincoln was alive.
We believe more in statesmanship
than in nigger songs, or in humorous
yarns during the war.
We believe Lincoln was n mere
man of putty in the hand of traitors
and thieves, known latterly rs Aboli-
tionists.
We believe God saw that he was
not useful, even if ornamental, and
removed him to make room for bet.
ter man.
We believe that johnson is q bet
ter man than Lincoln--if he had not
been, surely the great republican par.
ty would not have gone out of the
Union for candidate for Vice Presi.
dency, when they had so many good,
pure, honorable statesmen in the
North!
We believe the country would be
better Off to day, if every Republican
and Abolition traitor, sycophant,
apologist, thief, traitor, or tool OF
traitors, were in the bosom of Abra.
ham.
We believe, further, that the Abo-
lition party is going to the devil liter,
ally, and we do not care how quick.
And we still further believe that
"Brick" Pomeroy has more true
friends in the country than Lincoln
ever habitat we do not care the
snap Of finger for the good or i'll
opinion OF all the Abolition editors
in the land--that we shall edit this
paper just as we see fit, and do what
not one of our assailants dare do
tell the truth without fear or favor.

summing up Of the Report OF the
Joint Committee on Reconstruction,

Friday. 1t was signed by all the

Effects OF The Tornado.

The tornado on Tuesday evening
of last week proved far more disas
trous in the central portion of this
county than it did in this vicinity
Miles upon miles of fence were level
cd to the ground. The largest forest
trees were twisted Off near the root,
as though they were elders. Orch
ards were injured in many localities,
fruit trees being torn up by the roots
Mr.. George Williams, near Bowling
Green, states that about five miles OF
fence have been prostrated on his
land.
In the vicinity of Bowling Green,
We counted nine barns that were un.
rooted, and were informed that nc
less than sixteen barns and dwellings
had been this dilapidatcd by the vi.
olent gale. In that village there
were two houses, in the course ol
erection, blown down.
Mr.. ). A. Bopes received his share
ot the fury of the tornado. His
dwelling house was demolished, leav.
ing himself, wife and four children
at the mercy of the storm. The par.
ents each took up two Of the children
and sought refuge in the barn, but
enjoyed its protection but moment,
when that building was unroofed, ex.
posing them again to the peltings OF
the pitiless war OF the elements. For,
tunately they escaped bodily injury.
James johnson, Jr., was driving a
team, and the storm overlook him q
few miles from Portage. He was
returning home from a Western trip.
A heavy limb from tree struck him
ON the back of the neck and shoulders,
killing him instantly.
From other portions of the county
reports give equally disastrous ef-
fects OF this tornado, the most violent
