Earthquake I'm JaVa-30O Lives
Lost,

Java papers of the 18th ofJune give
full particulars Of the dreadful earth
quake which occurred in the Island
on the morning Of the 10th of June.
1t was very destructive in the districts
of Cheribon, PekalOnan, BanjOemas,
Bagelen, Samarang, DjokjdOlarta, and
Sourakarta. The greater part of the
indigo and sugar manufactures, pri-
vate houses, and military establish
ments are destroyed at DjokjdO, but in
other districts the dange was not so
extensive. The losses, however, are
incalcuable. The sugar crop, which
had just been brought into the barns,
is totally lost. A large number of
Europeans and natives perished-the
report says as many as three hun

of victories of any kind for the past
few years, are, as might reasonably be
expected, exceedingly jubilant over

A TreasOnable OrganizattOn-A
TFuesBIue Soldier.

IFue9bAAC SOAuAGEq
A correspondent of the Columbus
Journal, writing from COshocton
county, says:
The Butternuts have a thorough
organization in this county, and
doubt not throughout the State. Their
organization, which is secret, is moth
ing more or less than a reorganization
of the s'Knights Of the Golden Circle"
and, while they attempt to entiee
Union men into their fold by claim
ing it to be only for the purpose Of
giving more successful battle against
Negro Suffrage, their real object Is to
get up an organization in sympathy
with Southern Rebels in opposition to
the rights and interests Of the soldier,
and place the administration Of the
Government In the hands Of such
Northern rebel sympathIzers as Allen
G. Thurman. -...
At meeting at Newcastle, in the
same county, a young soldier was en-
ticed into one Of these secret meetings.
The "Knights" thought they could in
fuence him to join the Democratic
party because he had been refused an
honorable discharge from the service
on account ofhis having come home,
at the close of the war, without watt
ing for the fOrmality of 'mustering
out" But they soon learned that
they had got hold Of the wrong man.
The young soldier was indignant, and
made a speech, in which, among 9th
er things, he said :
I took an oath after the battle of
Chickamauga, in which many Of my
comrades had been killed and butch
cred by rebels, led on and strengthen
ed by VaIandigham, Thurman, and
other Northern sympathizers, and
that oath was, that would never
vote for ValIandigham, or any man
who voted for Vallandigham, for any
Office of honor, trust or profit what
ever. That oath l took while the
blood Of my comrades was still red
upon the battlefield of Chickomauga,
That oath / took in the name of hun
dreds and thousands of Union soldiers,
who were killed by rebels, whose only
hope was the assistance from VAL
landigham and Thurman and their
cursed Northern rebel crew. That
oath took in the name Of hundreds
Ond thousands of widows and 0. phans,
made so by rebel soldiers, whose only
hope Of success was in assistance from
VaIlandigham and Thurman, and
other Ohio rebels; and, gentlemen,
this oath, doubt not, was taken By
every Union soldier from Ohio. And
they will keep it as sacredly as they
keep the memory Of their dead CON-
Tades; and if any soldier votes for
Allen G. Thurman he will be worse
than a deserteT. He will not only be
deserting the Union and the cause for
which his comrades fell, but he will
be voting for a man who encouraged
rebels to kill Union soldiers, whose
every effort, during the war, was for
the South and against the North; for
a man who bought them clothes, and
loaned them money, and did all in his
power to make them comfortable; but
never did aught to aid, comfort or as
sist a boy in blue.
And to this young soldiers ringing
words, every true-blue in the land
will say, Amen!

A little fellow, some four or five
years old, and who had never seen a
negro, was greatly perplexed one day
when one came by where he and his
father were. The youngster eyed the
stranger suspiciously till he had pass
ed and then asked his father:
"Pa, who painted that man all
black SOP"
"God did, my son" replied the
father.
"WeII," said the little oho, still look
ing after the negro, 81 shouldn't a
thought he'd a held still" ="

Democratic Lenders.

Who are the Democratic leaders in
Ohio to-day? Thurman, who opposed
every step Of the war for the Union,
who never gave a dollar to Union sol,
diers, but who was the "dear friend''
of the rebel prisoners at Camp Chase
Pendleton, who said in Congress
that he would bid the seeding States
good-by so tenderly that they would
ever be touched by the recollection Of
it.
VaIlandigham, who would not vote
a dollar for the war, encouraged deser-
ton, resisted the draft, and gave laid
and comfort" to the rebels by every
means in his power.
These are some Cf the prominent
leaders OF the Ohio Deomeracy. a
more reasonable crew never lived

THE BLUE AND TIE aRAY.

"Tho women Of Columbus, Mississippi, animated /
nObler sentiments than many Of their sisters ha,
shown themselves impartial in their offerings rsae
the memory Of the dead. They strewed flowers ALI
the graves Of the Confederate and Of the Nations
York Tribune.
By the iow OF the inland river,
Whence the fleets Of iron have fed,
Where the blades Of the grave-grass quiver,
Asleep are the ranks of the dead -
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day.
Under the one, the Blue;
Under the other, the Gray.
These In the rObings Of glory,
Those In the gloom Of defeat,
All with the battle blood CORY,
In the dusk Of eternity meet =
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day.
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence Of sorrowfuI hours
The desOlate mOurners go,
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe -
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day -
Under the roses, the Blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With touch, impsrtially tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dow,
Waiting the judgment day.
Broidered with gold, the Blue
MelIovyed with cold the Gray
So, when the Summer caIleth,
On forest and field Of grain
With an equal murmur faIleth
The cooling drip Of rain -
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day.
Wet with the rain, the Blue
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading,
No bravsr battle was won =
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day;
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Uuder the garIands, the Gray.
No more shall the wsr-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves Of our dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day =
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

A Lady in Reading, Massachusetts,
while conversing with some callers
suddenly turned pale, and, sinking in,
to a chair, exclaimed, "Did you hear
that gun? 1t affected me Strangely"
and wept inconsolably. Her visitors
had heard no report, and it afterward
appeared that no gun had been fired
at that time on the place. News came,
however, that her brother, residing a
hundred miles away, was at that very
hour fatally shot by the accidental dis
charge of his fOwling- piece while hunt
ing in a grove near his house.

HEADQUARTERS ARMIES OF I. s.
WASHINGTON, August II, 1867.
His ErceUeraey, Andre'0 Joh'ssOn, Prest-
dent Q. S.
SIR: am in receipt of your order Of
this date directing me to appoint Gen. G.
n. Thomas to the command of the Fifth
Military District General Sheridan to the
Department of the Missouri, and General
| Hancock to the Department of the Cum
berland and also your note of this date,
inclosing those instructions, to carry into
effect the inclosed order, saying: 81 would
be pleased to hear any suggestions you
may deem necessary respecting the assign
ments to which the order refers"
| AM pleased to avail myself of this in
vitation to urge, earnestly urge, in the
name of a patriotic people who have sacri-
! feed hundreds of thousands of lives, and
thousands of millions of treasure, to pre-
serve the integrity and union of this coun-
/ try, that this order be not insisted on. 1t
is unmistakably the expressed wish of the
country that General Sheridan should not
be removed from his present command
This is a republic, where the will of the
people is the law of the land. I beg that
their voice may be heard. General Sheri-
dan has performed his civil duties faith
! fully and intelligently. His removal will
only be regarded as an effort to defeat the
laws of Congress. 1t will be interpreted
| by the unrecOnstructed element in the
South, those who did all they could to
break up this Government, by arms, and
now wish to be the only element consulted
as to the method of restoring order, as
triumph. 1t will embOlden them to re-
newed opposition to the will of the loyal
masses, believing that they have the Ex-
ecutive with them.
The services of General Thomas in bat
tling for the Union entitle him to some
consideration. He has repeatedly entered
his protest against being assigned to either
of the five Military Districts, and especially
to being assigned to relieve Gen. Sheridan.
:. Gen. Hancock ought not to be removed
from where he is. His Department is a
complicated one, which will take a new
Commander some time to become ac-
quainted with. There are military rea-
sons, pecuniary reasons, and above all,
patriotic reasons, why the order should not
be insisted on.
beg to refer to a letter marked "Pri-I
vate," which wrote to the President whenA
first consulted on the subject of a lChangat
in the War Department. It bearsSupon 1
the subject of this removal, and, 1 had
hoped, would have prevented it.
have the honor to be, with great re-
spect, your obedient servant,
U. S. GRANT,
General U. S. Army, and Secretary of
War ad interim.

It appears from late account given
by traveller in Africa, that the true
worth of woman in that country is
estimated by a comparison between
her strength and that Of a COW, and
Uice UerSH. Not because her amiability
should be like the good nature Of the
COW, as the judgment sometimes is in
this country, but because she can car
ry u heavy jar of water or do other
heavy work to compensate for hor
living. The price of a good, strong
young wife is placed, on this basis, at
ten COWS. The women Of Africa may
be stronger than the women Of Amer
ica, but they cannot be worth so
much, for many a woman in this
country costs a thousand times the
price Of ten cows, and does not in her
whole life give milk.
