|. TRUE, AND YET uoRRIRLr pIcruRE.

Mr.. Shellaberger, of Ohio recently made
very able speech in Congress on the ques
ton of the reconstruction of the rebel
States and i'll it occurs the following
graphic account of the rebels when going
out of the Union, and their subsequent con-
duct during the war We commend this
sententious paragraph to the readers atten-
ton 1t will refresh old memories The
fiendish conduct here described, it has be-
come fashionable OF late, in certain quar-
ters, to call ObStructiHg the functions Of qor-
eJnmem. Out upon such perverson :
Does the gentlemen yet ask for the
specific act that deprived these States of
all the rights Of states, and made them
enemies ? | once more answer him in the
words of the Supreme Court the specific
acts were, they causelessly waged against
their own Government war which all the
world acknowledge to have been the great
est civil war known in the history of the
human race That war was waged by
lLNcC pCOplt 90 hbilN5, anu II "tul lui ~
long, dreary years. In it they threw off
and defied the authority of your Constitu-
ton, laws, and Government; they Obliter-
ated from their State constitutions and laws
every vestige of recognition of your Gov
ernment they discarded all official oaths,
and took in their places oaths to support
your enemy's government They seized, in
their States, all the nations property their
Senators and Representatives in your Con-
gress insulted, bantered, defied, and then
left you they expelled from their land or
assassinated every inhabitant of known
loyalty they betrayed and surrendered
your armies they passed sequestration
and other acts in tlagitious violation Of the
law of nations, making every citizen of the
United States an alien enemy, and placing
in the treasury Of their rebellion all money
and property due such citizens They franz
ed iniquity and universal murder into law.
They besieged, for years, your capital, and
sent your bleeding armies, i'll rout, back
here upon the very sanctuaries Of your ma
tional power. Their pirates burned your
unarmed commerce upon every sea. They
carved the bones of your nnburied heroes
into ornaments, and drank from goblets
made out Of their skulls They poisoned
your fountains, put mines under your sold
ers' prisons organized bands whose lead
ers were concealed in your homes, and
whose commissions ordered the torch and
yellow fever to be carried to your cities ,aud
to your women and children. They planned
one universal bonfire of the North from
Lake Ontario to the Missouri. They MUIR
dered by systems of starvation and expos
ure sixty thousand of your sons, as brave
and heroic as ever martyrs were They
destroyed in the five years Of horrid war
another army 50 large that it would reach
almost around the globe in marching col
umns and then to give to the internal
drama fitting close, and to concentrate
into one crime all that is criminal in crime,
and all that is detestable in barbarism, they
killed the President Of the United States"

Onr County Fair.

The Fair OF our County Agricul-
tural Society the present year was equal, if
not superior, TO any since the organization of
the Society The weather was as favorable
as could have been desired for the occasion
The activity Of the officers Of the Society
in the discharge Of their respective duties
was deserving Of praise, and, we believe,
appreciated BIZ the people generally The
several departments for the exhibition gave
evidence Of the interest Of the public in the
pursuits Of Agricultural and other indus
trial branches connected herewith On the
whole, the Pair was a success, and we are
pleased to learn that the receipts were suit
cient TO clear the Society from debt and leave
a balance for farthernecessary improvements
upon the Fair grounds.
While all viii admit that everything was
don. that could be under the regulations of
the Society to secure Justice TO all, there
we're instances in which exhibitors Of SUI
perior articles failed to secure that encour-
agement due for their efforts to increase the
interest Of the exhibitions, and, as we be-
Iieye, the officers and patrons Of the Society
DESTROYS Of Improvement or suggestions that
may lead TO Improvement, we venture TO
mention single instance IN which a change

would increase the interest and prevent

who grow frait only in their gardens, or even

The fruit gardener in competition with the
nursery men for varieties Of fruit, stands
about the same chance Of success as would
a person in village with the fl.rner for the
largest number Of cattle, sheep or swine.
We DO not desire 10 see the encouragement
