All persons tilth whom the tie ot country is stronger than that of party, arc requested to meet at the Court House in SliUersljurg.on Saturday, Aagust31st, 1861. 'rind select Delegates la attend. tlie Union State ConTention to be held at Columhus, on the 5th of September nest. STLieut. Wm. Spaxoixr is engaged recruiting a company for the war. He Las somo forty or fifty names on Lis roll al ready, and additions nre coming in daily. Lieut. Spangleb is anxious to make his a pick or "brag" Company, and has no doubt of his being ablo to do so. This is an excellent opportunity to those who in tend enlisting to do so. Lieut. Spakgler is anxious to fill up his Company as soon as possible in order to go into Camp. JETThe masses of the Democratic par ty in the North are for sustaining the Gov ernment in putting down rebellion. We belieye this to be especially true of n ma jority of that party in Holmes county. The few disaffected ones have become so by Laving the poison poured into their ears, by men in Millersburg, who would ruin country, sell their souls, do anything and everything if it, will only result in tho destruction of, the Republican party. These aiders and abetters of treason Lavo done muoh mischief already, but thoy have done all they will or can do. There is a re-action going on. Light is breaking. "We hear every day of good, substantial, life-long democrats, who have cut loose from the sympathisers with treason and declare that at the coming State election Chey are going to voto with the "Union Party."- JO"Tho "Soldiers' Pic-Nic,"at Oxford, in this county, on Saturday last, was a do elded success. Tho number in attendance was, very largo, tho fare provided and serv ed, up gratis by the citizens of that town and vicinity was enough and good what there was of it. Three powerful speeches were made on the occasion, whoso force can best bo guessed at when 'tis told that each of the speakers made over five thou sand converts to his peculiar doctrines by their extraordinary eloquence and unan swerable and never-to-be-equaled reasoning. ggThe Start County Democrat has "gone into liquidation." The soldiers not liking its abuse of them in their absence, on their return, demolished it. - Three secessionists from Medina county went to Airon one day last week, talked treason, for which they wcro thrown into tho Canal and kept there until they tsok tho oath to support tha Constitution and gave three, cheers for the Union. One old fellow staid in about an hour before he would consent to the terms offered for his release. r .DiPTnERiA. This terrible disease still prevails in parts of our county.

JfS"By reference to Treasurer RaifFs notice in another column it will be seen that, all township funds will be paid to tho Treasurers in gold. Mr. RaitT Las went to considerable trouble and expense, all of which he sustains himself, in furnishing $9 people. of this county with a sound cur rency. Tho people should show their ap preciation of tho efficient and satisfactory manner in which' he has discharged the duties of his office by re-electing him bv a tremendous majority. Farmer. Though probably not intentional on the part of the Treasurer, yet the policy he Las adopted of converting the paper of Banks located in this part of Ohio into gold and paying it out on county orders, is working 8 -twofold injury to the business nien- of Millersburg.- In tho first place, by theso Banks refusing them loans, knowing that their paper will in a very short time find; its way' into tho Treasury and thenco back to them for the gold. Secondly, nine out of ten of those who get tho gold on ffieir orders lay it by, instead of paying their debts with it as would bo tho case in most instances, had they been paid in Bant bills. Now, if Banking institutions are necessary, as all acknonledgo they are, and ours are perfectly safe, wbat is the uso of pursuing a policy wLich works no good to Mr. Raitf, or anybody else, cripples the Banks in their operations and. does his bost friends a two-fold injury ? Mr. R. Las made a very obliging and efficient officer.and wo desire to call his attention to, some of the consequences of a policy, which though not intended to injuro his fellow citizens, still has that effect. A Patriotic Example. Wo Lave repeatedly referred of late to the propriety of abstaining, at a crisb like this, from all mere partisan distractions, and endeavoring to combine all the ener gies and resources of the nation in a grand and vigorous effort to insure a successful prosecution of the war. It is no time wLcn an enemy is thundering at the very gales of the capital, when an armed foe assumes control over nearly ono-half of the Republic, and tauntiugly threatens to in vade the other, to encourage in our midst patry divisions on questions of no real mo ment, and to array one portion of our peo ple against tho other in a manner wliich can have no other practical effect than to prevent that unity of action which is im perilively demanded by tho best interests of the country. It is gratifying to per ceive that many of tho most distinguished members of all the old parties distinctly recognize tho necessity of avoiding, as much as possible, tho petty partisan con flicts which prevail in timo of peace, and of this fact the recent Union movements in several sections of our State, as well as in other quarters of the country, af ford satisfactory evidence, notwithstand ing the vigorous efforts of Breckenridgo leaders to extend aid and comfort to their Southern allies by inspiring them with tho belief that the North is about to become hopelessly divided, and a portion of its people induced to do baltlo at the polls, if not on tho tented fields, for the enemies of the Union and tho Constitution. We have nothing to fear in regard to the final result of the present war, and the com plete and perfect triumph of our arms over the audacious insurgents, if we continue to act ns united people, putting forth all the powers and energies of more than twenty millions of freemen ngainst a few millions of insurgents. Our open and covert ene mies know this fact, and it is for this rea son they are making such bold and un blushing attempts to divide and disorgan ize us, in the hope of tho excitement and animosity sure to bo engendered by earn est political campaigns will distract our at tention from tho operations of tho war, and embitter and estrange a large portion of our citizens from the Government, which in times of peril like these, is tho only true representative of tho majesty and power of the American people. We can easily imagine what a thrill of rejoicing would be caused among us, and how thoroughly wo should bo assured of a speedy triumph if wo learned that tho people of the rebel lious States, instead of busying themselves with tho equipment of armies, tho drilling of troops, and the earnest support of Jeff, Davis and his cabal, had their attention chiefly occupied with partisan conflicts, and with tho discussion of ordinary political subjects, or with contests, in which ono body of men occupied the position of a war, and tho other of an anti-war party We should feel that a house divided against itself could not stand ; and it is only natu- ral to suppose that a similar feeling is nwakencd among the insurgents by tho political intrigues that have been fomented among us Among the recent evidences of the dis position of all true patriots to sustain tho Administration in its efforts to mainlain tho integrity of the Union, the following manly letter of Hon. J. Scorr Harrison, who was nominated by tho Democratic Convention which recently assembled at Columbus, as its candidate for Lieu- tenanant-Governor, is well worthy of at tention, coming, as its does, from ono who had received so decided a proof of the con fidence of thoso who tendered him that nomination : POINT FARM, Aug. 13, 1861. Dear Sir: The extreme illness of member of my family Las, for several weeks so engaged my attention, ns to leave me but little lime for other encasements. and will account lor this lardy acknowl edgment of your favor of tho 8th inst. I had noticed in the citv Tinners tho nrn ceedings of the Democratic Union Con vention, lately assembled at Columbus, 1 i..t . . . ' and was not a little surprised that my name 'had been used in connection with tho Lieutenant Governorship of the State. I deeply regretted that I had not been con sulted in the matter, and now desire to say tLat I respectfully decline the nomination. I havo no inclination to be a caudiale for any office. If I ever cherished ambition for such distinction I have been cured of il. and it .-i .... . icej entirely reconciled to the quiet and retirement of private life. But it is, per haps, duo myself to say that if this was not the case, and I felt entirely free to en- icr agnin mo political conflict, I could not consent-to a parly candidate for office, iu io present conditional the country. Par ly, in my opinion, has dono more than anytW ehe to bring about tho sad ca lamines wind, now so seriously affect us, and the poison which has induced this na tional paralysrs would not prove an efficient remedy m tho restoration of tho patient. The time has come when we shouldforgel parly, throw offtts trammels and obliga twns, and stand up for the count Us Union Constitution and Laws. I was not, you knosv, a supporter of Mr Licoln for the Presidency neither do I approve of all the acts of his Administra tion. But' it seems to mo that this is not ino proper time to arraign tho Adminis tration for theso errors of policy ; and that it is neither the part of wisdom nor pa triotism to assail the Government when the enemy is thundering at the gales of the capital. Let us first settlo the great ques tion of Country or no Country, Govern ment or no Government, Union or Disun ion, and- having accomplished this great work of duty and patriotism, wo will havo ample timo to' inquire into thoso alleged delinquencies of our rulers;' and if wo find them wanting iu the Jeffersonian require ments for oflico. lot th by a verdict of tho peoplo. i certainly owo tho Rp iff. no debt of nolitJonl nKK;rt i I do not hostato to say that the Admin tstratwn has my warmest sympathies in a A Is efforts to put down this rebellion, and lam in favor of doing this'effectively and permanently in peace if we can, in tear if vse must.. A distinguished member of Congress is reported to have said in his place in the House of Representatives,, during tho last session, that ho was for "peace peace be fore the Union." I, loo, am for peace, but I am for tho Union before peace, for I know without the Union we can have no peace. In repeating my determination to de cline tho nomination which, as tho organ of tho Convention, you so kindly tender to me, I beg to assure you of ray proper appreciation .of this mark of respect and confidence on the part of the Convection. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 3. Scott Harrison. To William A. Johnson, Esq., Secretary of the Stale Central Committee. JJSTTho Loco leaders in this State talk very much about conducting the war with vigor, and with liberal ptoffers of peaco to the Rebels, that is to say, of compromise and concession. But listen to what tho heroic Andrew Johnson savs on this sub ject: Traitors and Rebels nre standing with arms in their hands, and it is said wo must go forward and compromise with them. Tney nre in the wrong; thoy are making war upon the Government; they are try ing to upturn and destroy our free institu tions. I sav to them that the compromise I havo to make under the existing circum stances is, ground your arms; obey tuo laws; acknowledge tho supremacy of tLe Constitution; when you do tLat I will talk to you nbout compromise. All the compromise Ihave lomalce is the Con stitution of the Utiitcd Slates. This is the ouly ground on which any man who is not a mere party hack, or a traitor at heart, can safely stand. And it is the ground, on which the loyal People of all parties Lave placed themselves. 'OH JCiTOur neigLbor of the Jiepublican wants to know what tho Committee did with tho money raised for tho 4th of July celebration. The commiltco requests us to say, that they paid tho expenses of tho celebration and refunded to Caskey all the money ho contributed. Farmer. TLo answer is no ways satisfactory "at all, at all." We hear of no money "refund ed to Caskey," or "any other man," or any that went to pay tho "expenses of the celebration." Sickness of tiie Southern Troops. In tho reports which reach us of tho con dition of the insurgent army South of the Potomac, wo constantly hear that a large number of thoir soldiers are sufferinct from sickness, and their power for vigorous movements is thus much impaired. Tho prevailing" diseases among them aro the mumps, small-pox, and measles; whilo among tho Ifortbern troops, there has beeD little if any similar sickness. iSgTTwo prisoners, a captain in tho 4th Michigan and tho tho assistant quarter master 2d Rhode Island regiment, escaped from Richmond and mado good tLoir ar rival on tho Potomac below Aquia creek, after nine days traveling. They built a raft, and started to work across tho river, but wero taken from their frail bark by the gunboat Union, and brought to Washing ton. Thoy staled that tho feeling nnd talk is strong in Richmond to march upon Wash ington. Our men(pfrsoners) there aro crowded into small rooms, and they are in differently cared for, though in their let ters they are obliged to intimato that eve ry attention is paid to their comfort. For the Republican. Mr. Editor: Will you allow mo some room in your paper to express my mind on the present crisis of our country. Hav ing never voted any other ticket than the Democratic, and longing for' true Demo cratic principles to cover our land as tho waters cover the great deep, yet, I would not advocato a party spirit to rum our na tion. And, as the present trouble of our country to somo degree will be settled or irritated, it is this thai demands our attention. Whilo ono party' expresses willingness to drop the party issue and unite on a union basis, a portion of tho other party appears to bo pursueinsr tho op posite direction, and advocate party spirit rather than our nation's prosperity nnd wel fare. Among tho various papers of our State that aro still tryinjr to keep up a par ty spirit, is tho Holmes Conntu -Fanner wmcu ciaimea last mil to advocalo tho principles and name of Stephen A Doug las, but 1 fear the Editor has dropped some of his principles, nt least, strange to tell, lie Pas never published in the Farmer ono of Mr. Douglas' great speeches which lie made botoro the .Legislature of 111., in which ho condemns n parly strife in such times as those. Has tho Editor of tho Farmer never saw them or does he not liko them ? TLere aro a great many per sons iu tho county that have never saw tho speech, and it would be well if they could reau it. i Doiievo mat Mr. Douglas was great partisan fighter in partisan times; yes, and a great patriot in times of nation al trouble. But theso nro not nartisan limey, theso nro tho times for patriots to show their patriotic blood, and to let the party issuo alone. May Loyalty bo the song and Union tbo chorus, until the clangor of arms is heard no more in our land, and the once happy State3 united in peace to the Government that gave them birth.

Departure of the Second Regiment Fire Zouaves. Yesterday was another eventful day with the 2d Regiment Fire Zouaves. Shortly after 4 o'clock p. m., the regiment marched from the Park Barracks, Willi Col, .Tnmes Fairman at their Lead. Having nroceeded up CLatham street a short dis tance, the Col. was informed that there wetosome obstructions in tbo street, caused bv repairs now coins on, wLich would ren dor tho march unDleasmt. Under these circumstances, the regiment was marched back to the Park, where they were drawn up in a hollow square in front of the City Hall. Hero Co!. Fairmau took advantage of tho opportunity, and requested the close attention of tho whole regiment wLilo Le mado a statement to them which was of importance to him, but of much greater importanco to them. He then proceeded to slate that it was their duty to obey and to respect their officers, and the duty of those otticers in turn to obey nnd respect their superior olheers, Information having reached him that their officers had mot in the earlier part of tbo day and concocted a petition for bis re moval from the command of tho regiment, Le availed Limself of tLat opportunity of taking tLo sense of iLe regiment as to whether he should again draw Lis sword from its shealh ns tho Col. of that regiment. (At this point, "Draw your sword," "Draw it," was thundered forth by almost every soldier :n tho square.) "fahall L be your Col. ?" was responded to by a unanimous "Yes" on tho part of tho regiment. Next he went in front of each company in line and repeated the query as to whether they were willing to march under his command nnd each company was unanimous in- its determination to follow no other man to tho battle-field than Col. Fairman, Com pany A was the only ono which declined to make any demonstration Before marching in front of the soldiers, the majority of tho Captains and Lieuten anls left their posts and approached Col, Fairman, pointing their swords at him and calling him a scoundrel. Capt. Burns, of Company A, appeared to take tho lead in tho meeting, followed up by Captain Smith of Company B, nnd five others, whoso names our reporter was not ablo to procure at tho moment, Col. Fairman ordered them all to their posts again, and immediately led tho regi ment off for tho seat of war. They march ed up Chatham street and Bowery to Eighth street, thence to Broadway nnd down to the Battery, turning to Pier No. 2, North Kiver, where they went on board the Red Jacket. Owing to some delay in raising steam thoy did not leave tho wharf until about 8f o clock. A number of tho soldiers wcro left bebind, Laving remained too long taking farewell of tLoir friends. In reference to the vote of tLo regiment taken in tho Park, there was no doubt as to who was tho choico of the rank nnd file of tho regiment as Colonel. Indeed, throughout tho day tho men had been throwing out threats of pitching into the officers if they should make any open de monstration ngainst him. it is nlso duo to the soldiers to state that when tho officers left their respective posts to approach tho Colonel, not a man left his placo in the ranks. lne reg'ment went to Washington via Elizabclhportand Harrisburg. THE FIRST FIRE ZOUAVES. This regiment mustered in pretty full strength yesterday morning at tho Battery, expcc:iiig to receive orders to march to their new quarters, when tho command would bo recruited to its full standard. As no orders had arrived, tho men went homo again. The Zouaves seem unani mously inclined to resume service if proper officers nro appointed. Yesterday after noon Fort Schuyler was appropiialed to their use. The Ohio Army. The Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says that the force of Ohio, now in active service, is eighteen regiments of Infantry, three companies of Uavalry, ana threo batteries of Artillery, four guns each distributed as follows: In Western Virginia, regiments number ing 3d to 13th inclusive, and 23d to 20tb, nlso one company of Cavalry, nnd ono of Artillery. In Missouri, 27lh and 39th Regiments Infantry, two batteries of Artillery, nnd 2 uavairy companies. The regiments and companies comprise about 20,000 men. By tho middle of next week tho Ohio force iu the field may bo at least 30,000. A regiment at Camp Dennison known ns "tho Wilstach,"' will receive its arms on Monday next. A regiment at Camp Put nam, Marietta, is now being mustered in, as also is a regiment at Camp Noble, Tiffin, and early next week Tom Ford's, at Camp Bentloy, Mansfield, will be in marching order. In adniticn to these, tho 30th at Camp Chase, and Col. Sill's, at Camp Morrow, Portsmouth, may be filled up in a few days. There are also at Camp Chaso six cavalry companies under drill. There can bo no doubt now that Ohio will have 50,000 soldiers in tho "forward inarches," which Autumn may witness. TLo regiments in Western Virginia aro now exchanging their smooth-bore guns for rifled muskets. Tho 6th 8th and 13tb, nre, or will immediately, bo armed with first class muskets, rifled. Last night, John A. Gurley was here, and the Governor, ro-orgnnizing Hoffman's Artillery as an Ohio company, determined to supply it with four rifled guns, carriages and caissons, which will bo forwarded to day. This morning Capt. Pfan's cavalry company started for tho Kanawha. It is fully equipped. Tho arms are Sharpe's carbines, UoKs revolvers, and dragoon words. It will reliove George's cavalry (three montiis troops) now on tho liana- wha. McGregor's Proclamation. Tho proprietor of tho Canton Democrat "breeding a scab on his nose."

A. McGREGOR. Canton, Aug. 22, 1861. Four editors of prominont Soiitliorri journals wore killed in' tho battle of Bull inn. Stambaugh on Party Lines. Mr. D. W. Slambaugb, of New Phila delphia, is' one of the most prominent Democrats in Ohio. He was the candidate for the Office of Attorney General on the Democratic ticket of last year. In a letter to the Tuscarawas Advocate, repelling slan ders against him printed in the Democrat ic paper over tho signature of 'Q.,' he says: I well know that some leaders of tho Democratic party, who love party and par ty strife more than their country, are very bitter becauso I cannot sacrifice my sense of, duty to my country for parly because I cannot consent to become a party to po litical strife, which would result in animos ities that would result in the throwing of all conceivable obstacles in tho way of the National Administration, to hinder, and if possible, prevent a speedy suppression of treason and rebellion, nnd tho vindication of oar Government. In my judgement a united effort on the part of tho Northern peoplo is required to perpetuate our Gov ernment; to extricato it from its present perilous condition, and I invito the atten tion of my Democratic brethren especially to the words of the immortal Douglas, de clared in Lis great speecL, on the 1st of May, in Chicago. Read it and ponder it well. TLat great and good man said : "WLoever is not prepared to sacrifice party organizations and platforms on tLe nltnr of Lis country, does not deserve tLe support nnd countenance of honest people. How are we to overcome partisan anlipa tLies in tLo minds of men of all parlies so as to present a uuited front in support of our country t We must ceaso iho discus sion of party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, havo no criminations and recriminations, indulgo in no taunts one against tho other, as to who has been tho cause of theso troubles'. When we shall have rescued tho Government and Coun try, from its peril, and seen its flag floating in triumph over every inch of American soil, it will then bo lime lo inquire as to who and what has brought these troubles upon us. When we shall have a country nnd n Government for our children to live in in pence and happiness, it shall be timo for each of ns to return to our party ban ners, according to our own conviction of right and duty. Let him bo marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like this I" This poor party slave, "Q.," calls Demo crats wLo entertain tLcso sentiments, so Loneslly declared by that great leader of party, "weak-kneed, renegade Democrats, as if Democrats wero slaves, to be driven, liko cattle, by party masters who havo but little brain, ana less heart, it there are any Democrats in this county who are slaves, they will of course, walk up to headquarters, and rcceivo their orders and should tho orders bo to act the traitor toward our Government, they will obey or receive the stripes due disobedience. As for myself, I shall servo my country, judg ment and conscicncj, regardless of conse quences, and 1 am glad to know that bun dredsof thousands of Democrats feel an act as I do on this great subject. Whe treason and rebellion is put down, ou Government vindicated, nnd the Stars and Stripes once more float over all the Ameri can soil, then will I aid tho Democratic party in fighting its political issues, but not till then.

Twenty-three gunboats aro being built in New England ports, and in New York and in Pennsylvania,for tbo Government most of which, by the terms of contract. will be ready for delivery by the close of tho present month ot August. Thoug nominally gunboats, thoy will be in size. strength and armament equal almost to first class ships of war. Tho complement of men required to man each will be nearly two hundred, lhreo of tho boats hav buen launched in New York. The post gives tho following description of theso boats: "They are to bo of equal dimensions, an ns nearly similar as it is possible to mak them. The cxtrerao length is ono hundred and sixty-six feet, tho width twenty-eight feet, and the depth of hold twelve feet. Tho timber is mostly of whilo oak, nnd the knees, braces, and fastenings, aio of the strongest and complotest description. The draft of water it is calculated will be about nine feet. The armament will consist of twolvo 32 pounders, with a pivot-gun amid ships probably a columbiad oi tboheavi est description. A smaller pivot-gun may be placed on the forecastlo deck. Iho ves sels will be schooner-rigged and propelled by two screws, driven by two back action engines, with thirty-inch cylinders, each completo in itself. An auxiliary engine will also bo on board, lhe speed to bo ob tamed from the steam power alone is reck oned to be fourteen or fifteen knots nn hour. Thus theso vessels will be faster than any othor war craft afloat. The speed of tho English gunboats is scarcely more than nine knots. The Post says that "within a few day: wo shall havo ready and at sea nearly, if not quite, four hundred and fifty vessels and tho nation will havo the satisfaction of knowing that every one of this great fleet is perfectly fitted for tho uses which aro to bo made of it. Tbo labor of creating such a navy ns this is not slight. Tho time in which it has been dono is not long. Though- wo are not permitted to bo more explicit we may say that before many days there is reason to expect that wo shall bear ot an important blow struck by our navy.

Threo hundred and fifty-one sick sol diers havo been brought down from Ma nassas ; most of whom aro suffering from m easels. The Richmond Dispatch says: Our hospitals are crowded. Wo want more room, more nurses, moro everything for tho sick. Private houses, it is hoped, will yet be offered for the accommodation of a part of the increasing numbers. Wo beg our citizens to continue, and if possible, extend thoso good offices which, to their lasting praiso bo it spoken, they havo so cheerfully and liberally performed toward, Iho poor soldier. TnE ARREST OF MR. NELSON AND BRIDGES. A loiter in tho Petersburg (Va.) Ex press, dated at Richmond on the 11th in stant, says: The once Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, reach ed here yesterday, guarded by a file of six ty Confederate soldiers. Although Ten nessee has declared her independence of Lincoln, and assumed her sovereignty, Nel son proclaimed himself a candidate for Lincoln's Congress, and at the present election was voted for as such. It was said that he was endeavoring lo reach Washington for tho purpose of making ar rangements with Lincoln's Government to placo cast Tennesse as Northwestern Vir ginia has been placed by Carlisle and oth ers, but, imprudently venturing into loyal South-western Virginia, the patriotic peo plo of Lee county seized the traitor and sent him, well guarded, to headquarters. Ho has been consigned to jail for safe keep ing. Tho report that Mr. Nelson has been re leased is erroneous. He is only enlarged on parole, enjoying tho 1 berty of the streets of Richmond. His colleague, Mr. Bridges, was ensnared last week, and is now under military arrest. On his way to tho NorlL, wLilo traveling tLrough Ken tucky, to which State a hundred of his constituents escorted him, a messenger with tho news of the illness of his family in duced him to turn bis horse and ride inlo an ambush of Tennesseans, within three of the lines. THE BURNING OF HAMPTON. The Richmond Enquirer, after stating that Hampton was burned by order of Gen Magrudcr, says: "The village church was intended to bo spared, but caught firo nc cidentnlly,nnd was consumed lo the ground Many of tho members of the companies wcro citizens of Hampton, and set fire to their own houses; among others, Capt, Sinclair fired his own house. HOW THEY SUFFERED. A vivandiere who was attached to tbo laTB company of heroes, "Tho Tiger Rifles," of JNew Orleans, has returned to that city, and states that twenty-six of them are yet alive, tho survivors of eighty-three who went into the figLt at Manassas. The company is annihilated, but a nucleus re mains for those to gather round who would compete for the privilego of upholding tho honored name of "The Tiger Rifles," tho Bowie knife chargers of Manassas, and se curing to another tield the aid ot a com pany as numerous and as valiant. "The Tiger Rifles" were one of the five compa nies of Wheat's heroic battallion, wliich lost half its men.
