Year: 1864

SHARoN.-TLis town has put so large a number of men into the field under former calls, that under the recent order for draft, she is asked to furnish but three men. It is believed that more than that number have re- enlisted from among the veterans, so that no more men can be demanded of the town. The town has also taxed itself so literally that ne'rly all expenses incurred by the war are cancelled.
Year: 1864

GOSHEN We hear that our Goshen neigh bors feel little sore over their quota, and think that they have been illused by the de- partment in the matter of their enrolment. Very possibly so, but while Goshen has been quietly reposing on her supposed exemption, other towns about have been steadily putting in men against the day of draft and so are better off as the time draws near.

 The race crews were selected early in the spring and have been working ever since with the idea of carrying as little flesh and as much muscle into the race as possible For awhile they exercised only by gymnasium practice but lately they have been " training" A pro, fessional trainer has been with them night and day for the last few weeks, and has told them what they must or must not eat or drink. A bout three and one half pounds Of very rare peel has been their daily diet accompanied by a little toasted bread or crackers, and very fttle tea. Coffee, punches, cake, pastry, pud- d'ng' pepper and salt are among the things for. b'dden them to use. Smoking is positively forbidden and even smelling the smoke of a ci. gar is considered very. injurious. Lately they have had to run five miles each mornino he fore breakfast, taking as rugged road as they could find and dashing over brooks and fences and lodging around trees so as to increase their wind as much as possible.

ployment of the United States, in either

accept or advise the acceptance of any such
proposition on any basis which would re-
store the slave power to its former suprem-
acy in the Government, or by any new

crime.


ResotUed, That the superior resources and
military prowess of the North In the strug-
gle are beyond dispute, and that the ques-
tion OF its success turns not upon its rela-
tive ability, but on the fitness of its chief
executive magistrate to give effect to its
power.


Resolved, That It is unsafe to intrust the
execution of any system of administration
to persons who are not in cordial sympathy
Herewith, and that no change of policy in
the conduct of the war Is more than nomi-
nal which is not accompanied by complete
change in the personnel of the executive de-
partment.


Resolued, That it is a matter for serious
reflection, whether another election for
President must not sipervene before the
rightful authority of the nation can be es-
tablished, and whether, in the meantime, It
is not fagrant waste of our energies to
continue the war.


Resolved, That unless the Army of the
West shall have swept through the valley of
the Mississippi to its mouth, and the Army
of the Potomac annihilated the legions of
Lee and Jackson, thus subverting the mill
tary power of the rebellion, within reas-
enable time, the best interests of the coun-
try and humanity will require a cessation
of hostilities.


Resolred, That the States of the North,
composing the American nation and WELD
ing its power, must ever remain one and
indivisible on the basis of freedom for ALL
without distinction of race, color, or condi-
tion; that their mission must ever be to ex-
tend their own civilization over the entire
continent; and that whatever arrangements,
difficulties, checks, or defeats they may en-
counter, they must forever cherish and pur-
sue the inspiring idea of nationality and
continental dominion.

Constitution, properly directed, have made
us what we are in spite of the Union. 1t is
free labor and free thought that have made
the American Union illustrious, and not the
Union which has developed those features
of Democracy. And now that this free
labor and this restless, throbbing free
thought are untrammeled by the Union,
the embarrassment will be removed. The
young giants refuse to be manacled."

he was replied to that the negro and his

Mrs. Maria, the wife of the prisoner, how
ever, she informed him that herself aud the
negro had been locked up in the same room


by Maria himself, and that he had Tor some
thu been treating her badly. This testimony,
IN connection with the same which had been
told him by her daughter, determined him
(P.) mot to act upon the summons which had
carried him to Ms house, upon which the


prisoner became enraged and threatened to
shoot him for falling to arrest the negro

Theatricals have been all the rage here,
and the Legitimate drama, has been played

Politics begin to attract attention to some
extent, and the sounding notes of prepara-
tion for the coming canvass begin to make
themselves heard Already there is pull
ing and hauling, button-holeing, and eager
consultations among anxious aspirants and
their friends on either side. June and July
will be Convention months for both parties,
both County and Territorial; but outside of
the expectiye candidates there will proba-
Dij pe much less blowing and striking and
frothy OratOry than last year.


Thus far we have been favored with a ces-
sation of the tragic episodes so common in
the vicinity and throughout the County last
year. Long may the present state of things
in that particular continue. With the ex-
ception of the shooting of Partin at tho
Payette ferry by Favorite which from all
accounts was not only excusable but a ne
cessary act of self-defense No homicide
has taken place in this county since the
District Court was last in session. That
term Of Court and the criminal proceedings
therein undoubtedly had salutary effect on
evIl-doers The July term of the Court
will have large docket of civil cases tc
dispose of, but the criminal calender is ne
likely so far as now appears, to be nearly as
large as that of the first term.

New York, June 6.-The State Committee of the
War Democracy of New York, at a meeting held at
the Astor, have reaffrmed preference for the re
nomination of Lincoln, and adopted a call to all War
Democrats to rally at Baltimore on the 18th to i'm
press upon the Union Convention the justice, eXpedi-
ency and necessity for the nomination Of Daniel S.
Dickinson for the Vice Presidency.

his resignation has been accepted by the President
Also, that of Gen. Buell., who it is undssto' d. re-
sumes his original position in the regular army as

A long letter from Fremont accepting the nomina-

is reason why there should be any division among
