l SEQ by the card OF Major Sweeney In
your issue Of yesterday that he claims Ia
have received the soldiers vote on the
18th inst, and having heard some parties
express surprise as TO how Federal sol
der could vote for the Major, l beg leave
10 use q portion OF your columns 10 ex-
plain how and especially why Us soldiers
OF the late war voted for man that Tough,
against US rather than stultiIy our our
selves by voting Tor Pannell. In the first
place We gave the Major credit Tor being
honest In his opinions in 1861. Heproved
he was conscientious about the issues then
before the country by fighting and risking
his life for that opinion. Weknew where
to find and expect him at any time during
thai. .memorable-struggle: MIR Pan
nell entertained the same opinions;
voted for the ordinance ol seces-
sion, but was too cowardly to stand
up to the issue and remained here
at home and kept up dcsultory fire on
our rear By encouraging secession meet
ings. When victory was on our side
Jacks face was as long as the moral law,
but when defeat came, as Il often did, his
face became broad with grin OF satis!ac.
tion and his inwards were convulsed with
pleasure. J., r,.9 y,.lia. tll.LE
I, and believe I express the sentiments
of nine. tenths OF the soldiers of our .coun.
ty and State, have an admiration for can
dor and true, courage 10 aDy man; be be
on either side Of the late uppleasantness.
1t was my misfortune at one time to be
taken prisoner Of war, and at the same
time 1t was my fortune to fall into, the
hands.of Major Sweeney, who filed my
haversack with all'that could stay my ap;
petite and made me comfortable under
the circumstances; besides, more than
that, when I" was turned over to
other parties in the Confederacy he
gave me out Of his pocket money to pro.
vide such additional items as would add
to my. comfort This Is the experiences Of
all who fell into his hands during those
troublesome times. And the above Is
some OF the reasons why I and other
Federal soldiers voted for Major Sweeney.

The Grape nnd Wine Crop of Ohio.
The grape production in tho vicinity of
Wheeling has scarcely amounted 10 an
average yield this year. Perhaps prices,
however, have made up for tho difference
10 other parts Of the country, and more
particularly in the Sandusky region, the
crop has turned out better than was an.
,icipatCd earlier in the season. Upon this
point tho Sandusky Register remarks as
as follows:
The harvesting oil grapes is about over,
and the wine companies here and ut the
slsnds are busy pressing out the new
wine. Growers have been far more for
tunate than they anticipated, and many
Of them came out Of the season with
nearly II no. quite as large profits as In
former years. On the three Bass Islands
the yield Of Catawba has, perhaps, been
The best in this region. The growers on
North Bass have a good average and at the
handsome price Of ten cts. per pound, paid
oytheii own wine company on the island,
have reaptd good harvest. Tho same
l. true OF the growers on Middle Bass,
the yield In the main being half, and tho
price paid by Messrs. Wehrle, Werk &
son, as by the other companies, double
that in seasons Of full yields. On Putin.
Bay many growers have harvested from
one and half tons to two and over per
acres, and realized ten cents pound
from the Putin. Bay Wine Company.

gallons Of wine this season, and go into

A Belgium Story.

We quote from tho Belgium news.
papers the following account Of dread
ful tragedy that occurred in little vii
lage near Brussels. A farmer and his
wife had plotted to murder their niece
during her sleep, to rob her Of 1870
francs that she was taking to her sick
mother. In order to foil the future
searches Of the police, they, previously
to perpetrating the crime, were engaged
in digging large hole in their garden,
so as TO bury the body in it, when the
young girl, who, not being asleep, had
heard her terrible sentence, rushed out
by the window and ran to the police
station, distant one mile only.
But Us soon as she was out, the
daughter Of the farmer, who was not
expected home that night, came back,
and not wishing to awaken anybody in
the house, went nOiselessly into the
bed where her cousin had been lying a
few minutes ago. She soon fell asleep,
and thus her mother, not being aware
Of the ProSidential substitution, owing
to the darkness of the night, broke her
own daughters neck with an axe.
This being done, the two were going
to the garden, carrying the corpse, en-.
velOped in n bedspread, when two gen.
darmes, accompanied by the fugitive
girl, rushed into the house with lanterns
in their hands.
Al the sight of their niece, whom
they thought they had murdered, the
two wretches took OF the covering and
found their unfortunate child killed by
their own hands.
The man, taking large butchers
knife, plunged it into his breast and
fell dead on the ground. As to the
woman, who was prevented from com.
hitting suicide, she became insane, and
is now shut up in n lunatic asylum,
where she is expected soon to die from
mental exhaustion. A more horrible
account has rarely been registered in
the annals Of crime,

pescrtlOns from the U. S. Navy.

Ye see, said veteran shellback to
reporter, TO whom lie was explaining
why so many assertions took place from
the navy, "when Jack has come of n
long voyage he has generally few dol
lars coming to him. His first thought
is to get his pay and leave OF absence to
so on q spree. Yell find, though, that
as n rule days and weeks pass after n
ship has come in from cruise before
the hands Rrc paid Of. This is part of
the dodge I'm going to explain 10 you.
The men get impatient, and fret after
the shore. But it's no use. The officers
tell them, 'You can get leave II you
want II : but what's the use Of leave to
Jack without money! It amt no more
use than that" said the veteran, putting
the last Of paper Of tobacco into his
mouth and cliucking away the tinfoil.
"When they get thoroughly wearied
out, " the veteran continued, "the pay
master begins TO sound them. He
generally knows his men pretty well,
and understands how to approach the
subject. He takes them one by one,
and condoles with them, and at last
hints that he would pay them their
money for n small commission ont Of
his own pocket, but that there would
be the devil to pay il they came back to
the ship and it was found out. Jack,
who is anxious to be of, and to get his
money ut any price, don't stop to think,
but lets the paymAster understand that
II he once gets his money and is slear Of
the ship there arc q good many chances
against his coming back. Then the
pnymaster comes out boldly and says:
There's 5000 due you. II you'll take
$500 and call it square I'll give II to
you, and I'll run the chance Of getting
ii back. Ninety-nine times out Of n
hundred Jack takes the money and
goes. Then to make the thing seem
all square, the paymaster debts Jack
with $500 or 500 worth OF clothing,
and so forth, which lie never had, and
pockets the balance Of Jacks pay. The
captain and the paymaster always work
together in this matter, and when jacks
time expires and lie don't return, his
name on the roll is marked D and
there's IN end OF it. Why, there Rre
thousands OF deserters walking about
New York and Brooklyn to-day who
could be arrested in no time II tho MI.
thorities pleased. II they were arrested
though, they would have yarn to spin
that wouldn't be creditable to some OF
the brightest and highest-toned officers
Of the navy"
