Columbus Correspondence.

EDs. ohFr Fr.oSinS ouuoCliDci W
your good paper, and native of the
good old county it represents, l have
often thought of giving you an occa-
sional word from the capital city of
Ohio.
1 am gratified to learn that you
have been prosperous, sufficiently to
enable you to enlarge your paper,
and am much pleased with the firm
stand you take in advocacy of the side
of political freedom, and for the
principles of justice, truth, and liber-
ty.
There is not much noise here of q
political nature, but the Republican
leaders and the representatives at
large of the Republican party, are
earnestly working in the good, even,
quiet way-the way that will prove
most effective in the end-to dissem-
mate the principles of truth and rree-
dom, and there is every reason to
believe that the labor thus given will
be abundantly rewarded, and that at
the coming election the people will
flock to the polls and prove by their
ballot that "truth is mighty, and
will prevail"
The news from Tennessee is in
deed cheering, and proves beyond
a doubt that the hope of the Demo.
cratic-anti-freedom party, that IT,.
South would join unitedly with them
against "the true principle of liberty
and equal rights TO I'll" is not we'll
founded. 1t proves that the masses
Oh the SoGthern people who bore
arms a5ains their eonntry. under the
deiusion that they were, fighting for
freedom and for " their rights" and
the false hope that their friends-the
Democratic party--of the north
would stick with them "through
thick and thin," are beginning to get
their eyes open and to see the light.
They are beginning to see that the
northern secessionists" have not
been faithful to their promise-that
their desire was not so much to see
the principle of secession succeed,
as it was to gain power, and thus be
enabled to tramp freedom under foot
and perpetuate slavery, and finding
themselves thus deceived in the great
trying hour, by their professed
friends of the north, they are not 60
ing to be thus darkly, blindly led
again.
The Democratic State central com
mittee are exhausting their great
est efforts to darker the minds of the
people and make them give sanction
to the opposite of truth and justice.
They are sending their circulars of
misrepresentation and caiumny
against the Union party, and fair
promises on the Democratic side, to
every town, county and township in
the State. The people at the next
election will settle their hash.
The chief item of interest in Co
lumbus at present is the Nicolson
Pavement, which is taking the place
OF the dirt and gravel, on High Street.
1t is progressing finely--makes a
beautiful street and has the appear
ance Of being durable, and it is to
be hoped that its introduction into
the city will not end with the present
contract on that street. Efforts are
being made to have it extend
ed around Capitol Square.
Weather warm and pleasant and
The fine warm rains, during the past
week, have made all nature beautiful.
In the country the large fields
Of golden grain and the waving corn,
and all kinds of fruit trees. bending
under their weight of the delicious,
riDening fruit. and the numerous
stacks of hay, and the beautiful,
green, pleasant pastures, dotted with
sleek, healthful looking horses and
kline, and the happy, smiling faces of
The farmers, all go to prove the re-
verse OF the Saying that Z" close on
TO tue foot steps of war, follows
famine"
Farmers generally, unite in saying
that they have never known a season
Of more general abundance OF the
necessaries OF life that the earth pro-
iuces this year.
l learn from the JEFFERsoNIAN that
The Rev. (f) j. f. Given. of Colum-
bus, Is to be the presiding genius at
he dedication of the " Christian
Union" Church near Benton, on next
Sabbath. Mr.. Given is the repre-
sentative of tthe Church of the
Nartyred Saints" Vallandigham and
dds, in Columbus, and publisher OF
little semi-occasional, religious poll
ical paper, styled 4" The Christian
Witness" and devoted to the adyo-
;acy of the principles of the Demo-
;ratic anti NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Church
,f-the- -Martyred Saints Party, and i'll
he " Christian Union Churcn near
Benton" is of the same school-and
t undoubtedly is, or the " Rev. (s)I
lr. Given, of Columbus" would not
,e called upon to preside at the
ledicatien-it is to be hoped that it
will not flourish, bat that it will
dwindle out" instead and the peo.
lie of Ienton and vicinity of that ilk
get their eyes opened to the light.
