We are permitted to make the follow
ing extract from a letter dated July IS.
received by Mr.. c. Hills from his son
now sojourning at Hanover, Prussia
EDS. GAZETTE.
Prussia is alive, and don't think the
French can kill her. Ali Germany is
united together as it never was before.
and the demands of the war department
are being more than realized. There is
great patriotism shown here The night
after war was declared, hardly slept a
wink. there was so much noise, music,
and speaking, and cheering, and firing
of guns all night long. All the Ger
mans that possibly can, are enlisting.
heard Of one man having three sons.
who were not required to 90, but he
said his country wanted them, and so
he sent them all Another man sent
would 90 himself And it is this way
all over the country. The Germans
love their good King Wilhelm. and
are delighted to have the Opportunity.
in a good cause, of uncovering their
Smothered wrath, and avenging them
selves against their worst enemy, the
French, for the many insults imposed
upon them.
There are great preparations being
made for any emergency. Load after
load Of the deadly needle-guns, long
trains of ammunition, cannons and pro-
vision wagons, pass our window night
and day. Yesterday morning several
thousand went by at one time. They took
up the whole street, and were fifteen
minutes in passing. To-day a lot of
cavalry passed, l never saw finer horses,
ali dark bays. and in excellent con-
dition, showing those dark spots, that so
distinguish the blooded horse. The
men and horses both look in the best
kind of health and spirits, and / earn
estly hope, with all my heart, that they
will lick the Frenchmen so badly, that
they will never want to hear of Prus-
slams again in war.
The railroads for several days have
been used in the transportation Of troops
and munitions of war solely. Trains
are leaving here as fast as they can be
made up, filled with soldiers, some with
as many as forty cars.
The three great nations, America,
Russia and England are for Prussia,
which convinces me that she is on the
the right side, and if that is so, the bat
tie IS half won. because the soldiers can
hight so much better.

who lived in a log cabin containing on

time to go to bed, they strung blanket
across the middle of the room, and the
settlers family slept on one side of it
and gave me the other.
Il laid down to go to sleep. and the
bed-bugs began to gather like lunch

any in the loft. and laid down congratu-

Prof William G. Williams of the Ohio
Wesleyan University. has been nomina-
ted for the Senate in the Senatorial Dis
trict composed of the counties of Della
ware and licking. We take pleasure in
noting the tendency of the times towards
the selection Of a superior class of men
for Office. Prof Williams is an accom-
Plished gentleman, a scholar and man
of learning. In his own department.,
that Of languages, he has few superiors
in the United States He IS at the same
time, man Of high general attainments.
With such legislators we should have no
such blundering on the interest question
and other questions Of Political Econo-
my as we have had for the past three
winters He would bring to the work of
making laws a knowledge of the true

The Democrats" Of the VIII Con-
gTessional District of Indiana seem to
have rather an odd taste They have
nominated for the house of Representa-
tives Capt. Vim. c. Moreau. The event
of this gentleman's S life which has most
decidedly distinguished it was his dis
honorable dismissal by Gen. Thomas
from the service, on the goth Of April,
1904. He had. it seems, been amusing
himself by obtaining money under
false pretenses, and had twice abscon-
ded to avoid a trial" He was, there
fore, relieved of his commission. Ifit
is all the same to them, we hope that
the Democrats of the District will give
Moreau an enthusiastic support. We
want somebody Of his kidney as a set

THE WORK.

1t is a good days work. The nOmi-
nee of the convention is emphatically a
man of the people. and has endeared
himself no less to them by his stainless
private character than by his honorable
public career. Even his few opponents
in the convention to-day admit of his
ability and worth, and viii support him
as heartily as though he were their first
choice. Than Mr.. Robinson, of Union,
and the majority of the Union delega-
ton, he has few warmer friends: and
these, as Hon. Mr.. Sterling said to-day,
will work heart and hand for his success.
In fact the Republican party of the
Eighth sets noble example to other
districts, and one trust they will follow.

The Prussian victory of Hagenau was
swiftly followed by the resignation of
the entire French tollivier) Cabinet and
the appointment Of new Ministry with
Count Palikao as chief. The new adj
minisuation has not been more foriu-
nate than its predecessor in checking
the tide of Prussian success. The
armies under the Crown Prince and
General Steinmetz have vigorously fol-
lowed up their first victories and sue
ceeded in dividing and completely out
fanking the French forces. McMahon's
Corps has been totally cut off from the
main body under Napoleon, and is sup
posed to have fallen back toward Stras-
bourg, which city is beleagured by the
German forces. and will probably soon

Gen. Morgan, Of MI. Vernon. opened
the State campaign on the Democratic
side at Afiller's Hall on Wednesday ev-
ening. The han was not more than
half filed, and the auditory about half
Republicans. We attended this open
/ ing expecting 10 hear discussed the Prin-
cipIes at issue in the canvass. but, in-
stead, listened to an abusive TRADE
against the President and a dreary hom-
ily about coach hire in Washington
Morgan tried vigorously to make out a
case Of extravaganza against the admin
istration but failed signally. The truth
Is that our national government IS, IN
r,roror4ion- to the extent of our territory
and number of our people, the cheapest
in the world. But for the debt occa-
stoned by a Democratic rebellion the
taxes for national purposes would
scarcely be felt. # however. Morgan
had wished to cite notable instance of
rascaliy misrule and official stealing he
might have found it in the so-called
government Of New York city which
costs twenty-five millions a year. or near
Iy as much as the entire civil administra-
ton of the Uunited States. And we pre-
sumo it win not be disputed that New
York is Democratic city. Or he might
have referred to that other Democratic
stronghold. Kentucky. whose govern
ment is a notorious example of reckless
and wasteful extravaganza. But Gen
Morgan carefully avoided any such ref
erences. His great mission was to show
that some of the Treasury clerks have
exceeded their allowances and that some
of the Cabinet ministers have entailec
upon the taxpayers an enormous .exPen-
diture of $500 for coach hire. Is thi.
digni6ed? Is it statesmanlike
