How ARE WE TO SPEND THE WINTER Ewes
xINGs?--The long winter evenings are near
at hand again, and We want to ask How are
we to spend them? Not we hope in longing
about. There is no necessity for that. But
what part Of them is TO be devoted to ~intellec-
tual improvement? Neighboring towns are
al ready making arrangements for their eve
ming lectures and planning reading circles,
50 that the purposes both Of sociability and
general intelligence may be subserved. Now,
we ask, is Toledo to sit down, fold its arms
and waste the long evenings of the next five
months BY smoking cigars, 'spinning long
yarns abusing its n~eighbors and chewing
gum. Why this would be o living death
mentally, and, we apprehend, to some extent
morally too. In some places night schools
arc being established for the instruction Of
those who are kept from attending day school
by the necessity Of labor. The city Of Daven-
port has turned ON the gass At public expense
and pays . portion Of the cost Of supplying
teachers for this evening instruction. Let the
lights begin 70 shine On such evenings en-
pigments, and they viii begin to grow dim
in the saloons and places Of worse than silly
amusement.
But We stsrted ont to say tsat Toledo may
easily be supplied with : course Of lectures
during the coming winter if the proper
course Is only taken. A small organization
can easily be formed, Of literary character,
and . fund collected by which speakers may
be obtained. And II VI can't afford to get
"big guns" We can End men of our own state
who will both interest and instruct US, and
who can be had for but little more than trav-
cling expenses. We most earnestly hope that
We may not be under the necessity Of sitting
here . whole winter as idle in this matter as
We did last. Will snythingb be done? Let us
see.

ONLY A MIsrAKE.-Mr. A. o. Abbott, the
author Of Sketches of life in Rebel Prisons
spent . day in our town last week. His book,
published by the Harpcrs, is one of the most
interesting We nave seen. Mr.. A. tells many
stories Of prison life, and he gets SO excited
and talks with 80 much earncstness that it i.
really . rare treat to listen to him. On las,
Friday evening, We had, with several Other
gentlemen, the pleasure Of spending an hour
in his company and listening to his lively
stories. .
He relates one story which We think excel
lent, - It shows 50 we'll the ready wit Of tn,
Yankee: The Rebel General Windcr, being
one day on . visit Of inspection at Libby
prison, saw . tall lean prisoner there ,yalkina
drsamily to and fro in the pen, and almost
insane from the effects Of hunger and expo

and said, "well Yank, how do you like tn.

good news, and glowing with enthusiasm

Gen. Grant Nominated by the Galena Ga
zette,

The Galena Daily tiazette, of Monday,
referring to the action of the 10 Daviess
County Republican Convention of Sat
urday last, raises the name of General
Ulysses =. Grant for President, subject
to the decision of the National Republi-
can Convention. The editor says:
We this day place at the head of the
columns OF the Gazette the name of
Ulysses s. Grant, of Illinois, as q candi-
date for the office of President of the
United States, to be supported at the cleo
ton to be held in November, 1868. We
do this In full accordance with our own
sense OF its propriety, and also for the
more public reason that the sturdy Re-
publlcans of 10 Daviess County, at their
convention, held at Elizabeth on the 9Th
inst, gave such action their full indorse-
ment.
The state Of the country, the perils of
the times, and the character of the men
proposed for this high office are such
that no apology Is demanded for this de-
cided action. But little more than one
year will transpire before the people will
be called to the election of a President
and Vice President. The vital welfare
Of the country demands that those offices
be filed by single-hearted statesmen,
pure patriots, unyielding friends of the
people individually, and OF the highest
well being Of the collective whole. This
general condition Is a necessity. Free
dom Of opinion with all Ia the rule Of
action; the Republican party must carry
the next election; a Waion of action Is
khe essential of success. Time Is required
to protect this harmony of free intelli-
gent action. Hence the Republican cit
liens of 10 Daviess speak thus early,
that opportunity may be given for CONF
parison OF opinions with Others that
errors may be corrected and doubts re-
moved, II they exist that we may all
unite In the accomplishment of our most
momentous and noble purpose, bound
together by the wisdom of an enlight-
ened judgment, and moving In the pow
or Of an Irresistible faith. With feelings
more sacred to the country than love Of
| life, we present the name at the head OF
our columns for the consideration of
Others, never To be lowered, we trust, ex-
cept In the humility of gratitude to a
higher power than man, as u sign OF His
approval, In ending victory.
