my "b m booot" To all rich caey, un
FUjpcttuig perwns wt commend the careful
an 1 thoughtful pFru?al of a doenment pub
lished on the Crrt page of to-day's paper,
from the pone ol Benj. F. Wade, United
S?ttc rAcnator from Ohio, and Henry Win
ter R-ivM, Representative in Ctinpress from
Baltimore. If is perhaps, nnnooeseary to
remark tlmt bolb of thete gent'emen are
Wading members of Congress a3 well as
fading mcnibcrs of the Republican party.
Bat read thin rerotrkable exposition and
the reader nmat eonu to the conclusion that
Lincoln is not the "Honest Abo" he de
lights in bein? styled, but a d irk, d :ep and
desperate politicrd gamester. While the
Nation, for more than three years, has been
heaving and rocking in the very th-oe of
dissolution, and bleeding at every pore, its
ebif masi-itrate haj bjen engaged in dark
conspiracies againat the Constitution by ar
ranging ecliemesby which hu calculates up
on fintenieg himself indefinitely upon the
Government. Uut comment upon this bold
and vigorous arraignment of Lincoln by
"Old Ben WadeiBuiteguperflunaa; it tares
off the niafk of honesty which the joker
has so long worn, and exhibits him in his
true features which are those of a dissim
nlating, stealthy aud unscupulous usurper.
After this most extraordinary exposition,
the opponents of the National Administra
tion need not fear to express their senti
ments. Yallandigham may again mount
the stump in safety, since Ben Wade has
exhausted the discussion of Lincoln's dis
honesty. Alluding to the effect likely to result from
Lincoln's refusal to sign the bill proposed by
Congress for the reconstruction of the rebel
States (he obstinately prefering his own
"one-tenth" invention,) the address with
great significance and emphasis remarks:
The President, by preventing this bill
from becoming a law, holds the electoral
votes of the rebel States at the dictation of
his personal ambition.
If those votes turn the balance in his fa
yor, is it to be supposed that his competi
tor, defeated by such means, will acqui
esce? And is riot that civil war for the Presiden
cy, inaugurated by the votes of the rebel
States?
Here the President is very plainly told,
that the people of the United States will
not permit him to cary out this scheme ; if
he attemps it, it will be resisted, and civil
war for the Presidency inaugurated. This
is the deliberate opinion of Messrs. Wade
and Davis and they "harp aright" the de
termination of the people.
Messrs. Wade and Davis must be pro
foundly impressed with the danger attend
ing Lincoln's dark proceedings, or they
would never speak as they have. But the
matter was referred to them by Congress,
and they were compelled to vindicate the
rights of that body from open and palable
Executive usurpation. This may but Utc
beginning of the end ; the load of Lincoln's
usurpation is getting too heavy to be longer
borne even by men of his own party, and a
reaction having began, it is difficult to say
where it is to stop. Julius Caesar was
slain in open Senate, because of being sus
pected of entertaining designs against the
liberties of Piome, and Charles the First
lost his head for offenses less grave than
those proved upon Lincoln by Messrs.
Wade and Davis. Hut, relying upon a
fair ballot to preserve our Republican sys
tem, we hope never to see the day when the
people will he driven to imitate these exam
ples; should WadeVnpprehfmsions lie real
ized however, the present occupant of the
White House will be responsible for them,
and he will, of course, have to bear the con
sequences, ho, reasoning Irora the stand
point suggested by the address in question,
it is not impossible that cunning Abe Lin
coln instead of being able to usurp the Pres
idency, may only succeed in following his
saintly predecessor "old John Brown," he
whose spirit, we are credibly informed, is
still ''marching on." In order to avoid so
sudden and ignomiuous a termination let
Mr. Lincoln take' warning from the end' of
Macbeth, his favorite dramatic creation,
and abandon that "vaulting ambition which
overleaps itself and falls upon the other
side. '
-BTlie following order from the Provost
Marshal General of Ohio, shows how such
men a Davy Tod have managed the milita
ry business in Ohio. Where are the 202,
0(X) men Govs. 'Tod and Dennison proclaim
ed to the Baltimore' Convention Ohio had
fu fnished? If their statement is correct,
and they ought to know if any body docs,
Ohio should be clear of the present draft.

be swindled.

Colcmbus, 0., July 31, 18b4. )
Circular No. 52 says the Provost Marshal
shall "secure, and arrange all credits, due.
to the different districts and subdistricts."
A settlement between 'Governor Tod and
the War Department, October 24th, Wi3,
balanced everything to that time nothing
prior was then ''due."
This, it is Irue, works injustice to some
patriotic districts; but it cannot be obviated.
Before that time there was no account kept
of districts, or subdistricts. In tact there
were none, but all credits were to the State
at large. It is now impossible to sort out
loO.OiHf men, and give them their proper
districts aud subdistricts.

even forget that they belong to secret "loy

But to show the kind of characters who
get up these "startling developments," the

on us to correct a statement that had ap
peared in a Rovheter paper regarding the
recent accident at Niagara Falls, which per
iled the life of his wife. Mr. H. introduced
himself as connected with the Oiiio State

that he was Captain Hurtt who had been
dismissed the service for official misconduct,
we treated him with the civility due to the

This prompts us to inquire how long the
name of F. W. Hurtt is to remain at the
head of the Union paper at the capital of
Ohio, a scandal upon that city and the loyal

somebody beside a convicted swindler of the

DEMOCRATIC MEETTXfi.
Pursuant to notice the Democracy and
conservative men of Smith township, num
bering some 4tKJ, convened in Centreville on
Saturday, Aug. 6, and organized by calling
Geo. W Miluuan to preside, and appoin
ting Kobt. Struct and Dr. Wm. Wilson,
Vice Presidents, and JameS Ibavin, Secre
tar.v. On motionj the Chair appointed the fol
lowing committee on Resolutions : Thomas
Ault, Lewis Ncitzclt, Thomas Jackson, Dr.
W in. McMasters and Joshua Worley, who
reported the following preamble and resolu
tions which were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, It is not only the privilege but
the duty of a citizen of a democratic repub
lican government to make known to their
servants, temporarily administering such
government, peaceably to assemble and make
known their grievances and petition for their
redress, and
W HER has, The policy of the present Ad
ministration of our government since its ad
vent into power and especially since the non
adherents to the so-called Crittenden resolu
tions, has been such,' as to bring about the
almost utter bankruptcy of this natiou, by
heaping a debt upon the people, unprece
dented in the history of nations ; by sacrifi
cing the blood of the nation in the slaughter
of hundreds of thousands of men in the vig
orof life, which might be useful in civil and
peaceable pursuits; by the augmentation,
in consequence thereof, of widows and or
phans, whose sorrows and miseries are un
told ; and by the utter disregard of our Na
tional Constitution, therefore,
Uewlvcd, That we consider the President
and his advisers unfit for the prominent hon
orable and responsible positions they occupy-
Rfxob fd. That we denounce all and every
usurpation of power by the President to
wit: For the banishment, imprisonment
and persecution of citizens for differing with
him in opinion and criticising his many un
constitutional acts; for rendering the milita
ry superior to the civil power and by these
means creating a multitude of petty tyrants;
for the suppression of freedom of Speech
and Press aud the suspension of the right
of tlio writ of habeas corpus, for the inter
ference with local institutions of States; for
the employment of men for offices, who are
nothing but public plunderers aud robbers
and more tit to be inmates ot remtenuaries,
than to be in the public service, &c.
Rmiloed, That this war as it is now wa
ged is for an object according to the Presi
dent's acknowledgment in a Speech at
Philadelphia, and the late correspondence
taken place between him and the Southern
Commissioners at Niagara, and which ob
ject is nothing less, as every unf'amitieised
mind will discern, than the abolishment of
Slavery and the. elevation of the negro to an
equality with the white man, and that this
war ought to cease.
Remind, That if. the efforts of two and a
half millions of men, who have at different
times entered the service to end this war
and accomplish that object, have failed to do
so, we consider that any other number ad
ded would also fail, and that every life lost
hereafter in this war, is in our opinion a
deliberate murder.
Resolved, That we remonstrate against
the forcible augmentation of the army by
draft hereafter, and that we demand in (ho
name of Justice and Humanity, that meas
ures be adopted at owe, looking to the ces
sation of hostilities and the accomplishment
of pence as the only hope of the oppressed
and mourning natiou.
Resolved, That as we have a right to ex
press to those in power onr grievances and
wishes and shall do so again and again, with
all the patience inherent in jnan, we wish
our rulers not to forget that there is an end
even to patience and a time when forbear
ance ceases to be a virtue.
Messrs. R, S. ('lark and Ross J. Alexander
being present addressed the meeting in a
highly .interesting and' acceptable manner.
On motion, it was Resolved. That the
proceedings of this meeting be published in

The following report of the success of our
operations at Mobile, extracted from the
Richmond Enquirer of this morning,- has
just been received at this Department from
Maj. Gen. Butler:
Mobile, August 8.
On Friday night Lieut. Col. V illiams.
commanding Fort Powell, evacuated anil
blew up the Fort. Yesterday and to-day
the enemy are shelling Fort Gaines. The
people of Mobile are all ready for the fray.
Great confidence prevails. The people
are satisfied with the conduct of Lieuten
ants Buchanan, Maury and Barnctt. of the
navy.
Mobile, Aug. 8. It is painfully hunnli
tnting to announce the shameful surrender
of Fort Gaines at ):'M o'clock this morning,
by Col. Jas. Anderson, of the 31st Alabama
regiment. This powerful work was provis
ioned for six months, and w ith a garrison of
six hundred men. He communicated with
the enemy's fleet by flag of truce, with the
sanction of Gen. Puge. .
He inquired by signal what his purpose
was, but received no answer. His attention
was attracted by a signal gun. Pago re
peatedly telegraphed, "Hold on to your
tort." The same night he visited Fort
Gaines, and found Anderson on board the
Yankee fleet arranging the terms of capitu
lation. He left peremptory orders for An
derson, on his return, not to surrender
the fort, and relieved him of his com
mand. Foit Morgan signalled this morning, but
no answer was received except the hoisting
of the Yankee flag over the ramparts of
Fort Gaines. Anderson's conduct is offi
cially pronounced inexplicable and shame
ful. Dispatches just received from Gen. Sher
idan, report his forces moving against the
enemy up the Shenandoah. At J'oiir P. M.
they were skirmishing about ten miles from
Winchester.
This morning Gen. Grant reported the ex
plostion of an ordinance boat yesterday,
loaded with ammunition, at City Point
wharf. No details have been received.
Col. McCook, of (reri, Grant's staff', was
slightly wounded. ,
No operations before ' Atlanta of conse

and twenty pnsoncrs, over tour hundred
horses and equipments, three battle-flags,
and a quantity of small arms.
The number of the enemy's killed is un
known, but is large. Gen. Bradley John
son was captured, with his colors aud three
of his staff, but subsequently escaped. Col.
Peters, 21st Virginia, rebel regiment, was
mortally wounded. MeCausland escaped
to the mountains. The enemy was pursued
toward Wardensville, Ilowardwick, and up
the South Branch from ten twonty-fivc

the chase and so encumbered with prisoners
and captured property, that I thought best !
to return it hero. My loss is seven killed

Y. ) Eagle, says:
"The people are very tired of hearing of
drafts; they dread them as they do a pesti
lence, and will rejoice greatly when they bo
gin to see that tbey are likid,y to get rid of
them."
In order to get rid of -them we know of
but one way, and that is to .vote in Novem
ber for a President who will issue no more
calls for drafts and conscriptions. . , ;

' Treasury Dkpartmvnt.I
July 25. 1804. )
By on art of Congress, approved June
30, J3t4, the Secretary of the Treasury is
authorised to issue an amount not exceed
ing two hundred millions of dollars in Treas
ury notes, bearing interest at a rite not ex
ceeding seven und three-tenths per centum,
redeemable after three years from date, and
to exchange the same for lawful money.
The Secretary is further authorized to con
vert the same into bonds, bearing interest at
a rate not exceeding six per cent um, payable
in coin. 1 n pursuance of the authority thus
conferred, I now offer to the people of the
United States Treasury notes as described
in my advertisment dated July 25, 1SG4.
The circumstances under which this loan
is aked for, and your aid invoked, though
differing widely from the existing state of
affairs three years ago, are such as to afford
equal encouragement and security. Time,
while proving that the straggle for national
unity was to exceed in duration and severity
our worst anticipations, has tested the na
tional strength, and developed the national
resources, to an extent alike unexpected and
remarkable, exciting equal astonishment at
home and abroad. Three years of war have
burdened you with a debt which, but three
years since, would have seemed lieyond
your ability to meet. Yet the accumulated
wealth anil productive energies of the na
tion have proved to be so vast that it has
been borne with comparative case, and a
peaceful future would hardly te.ei ita weight.
As a price paid for national existence, and
the preservation of free institutions, it docs
not deserve a moment's consideration.
Thus far the war has been supported and
carried on. as it only could have been, by a
people resolved, at whatever cost of blood
and treasure, to transmit, unimpaired, to
posterity, the system of free government
bequeathed to them by the great men who
framed it. This deliberate and patriotic re
solve has developed a power surprising
even to themselves. It has shown that in
less than a century a nation has risen, un
surpassed in vigor, and exhaustless in re
resonrces, able to conduct, though a series
of vears, war on its most gigantic scale, and
finding itself, when near its close, almost
unimpaired in nil the material elements of
power. It has. at the present moment,
great armies iu the field, facing an enemy
apparently approaching a period of utter
exhaustion, but still struggling with a force
the greater and more desperate as it sees,
and because it sees, the near approach of a
final and fatal consummation. Such, in my
deliberate judgment, is the present condi
tion of the great contest for civil liberty in
which you are now engaged,
Up to the present moment you have readi
ly and chocrfully afforded the means neces
sary to support your government in this
protracted struggle. It is yemr war. You
proclaim it, and you have sustained it a
jniinst traitors everywhere, with a patriotic
devotion unsurpassed in the world s histo
ry. The securities offered nre such rs should
command your ready confidence. Much ef
fort has been made to shake public faith in
our national credit, both at home and abroad.
As yet we have asked no farcign aid. . Calm
and self-reliant, our own means have thus
far proved adequate to our wants. They
are yet ample to meet those of the present
and the future. It still remains for a patri
otic people to furnish the needful snpply.
The brave men who are fighting our battles
by lands and sea must be fed and clothed,
munitions of war of all kinds must be fur
nished, or the war must und in defeat and
disgrace. This is not the time for any lover
of his" country to .inquire as to state of the
money market, or ask whether he can so in
vest his surplus capital as to yield him a
larger return. No return, and no profit,
can be desirable, if followed by national dis
solution, or national disgrace. Present
profit, thus acquired, is but the precursor of
lutureand speedy destruction. .Mo invest
ment can be so surely profitable as that
which tends to insure tfie national exis
tence. I am encouraged in the belief that by th
recent legislation of Congress our finances
may soon be placed upon a sounder and
more stable footing. The present deranged
condition of the currency is imputable, in a
great degree, to disturbance arising from
the withdrawal of necessary checks, often
inevitable in time of war, when expendi
tures must largely exceed any possible snp
ply of coin, i'he opportunities thus pre
sented to acquire sudden wealth have led to
vicious speculation, a consequent increase
in prices, and violent fluctuation. The
remedy is to be found only in controlling the
necessity which begets the evil. Hitherto
wo have felt the need of more extensive and
vigorous taxation. Severe comment has
been made upon what seemed to many an un
due timidity and tardiness of action, on the
part of Congress, in this regard. 1 deem
it but just to say that very great misappre
hension has existed, and perhaps still exists,
upon this point. Legislators, like all
others, have much to learn in a new condi
tion of affairs. An entirely new system
must necessarily be the growth of time and
experience. It is not strange that first ef
forts should have proved imperfect and in
adequate. To lay heavy burdens on a great
and patriotic people in such a manner us to
be equal, and as to occasion the least a
mount of suffering or annoyance, requires
time and caution, and vast labor ; and, with
all these, experience is needful to test the
value of the system, and correct its errors.
Such has been the work which Congress
was called upon to perform. I am happy
to sny that daily results are proving the In
ternal Revenue Act to exceed in efficiency
the most sanguine expectations of its au
thors. In the month of June, 183, it
yielded about four and one-half millions of
dollars, while the corresponding month of
this year returned about, fifteen millions, un
der the same law. Under the new law,
which went into operation on the first day of
tho present month, the Treasury not untre
qucntly receives one million in a day. As
time and experience enable the officers em
ployed in collecting the revenue to enforce
the stringent provisions of the new law, I
trust that a million per day will be found
the rule and not the exception. Still, much
space is undoubtedly left for improvement
in the law, and in its administration, as a
greater amount of necessary information is
acquired. The proper sources of revenue,
and the most effective modes of obtaining it,
are best developed in the execution of exist
ing laws. And I have caused measures to
be initiated which will, it is believed, enable
Congress so to improve and enlarge the sys
tem as, when taken iu commotion with the
revenue from customs, and other sources, to
afford an ample and secure basis for the na
tional credit. Only on such a basis, and in
a stead and vigorous restraint upon curren
cy, can a remedy be found for existing evils.
Such restraint can only le exercised when
the government, is furnished with means to
provide l'or its necessities. But without the
uid of a patriotic people, any government is
powerless, for this or any other desirable
end. ; . .
The denominations of the notes proposed
to be issued ranging from fifty to five thou
sand dollars, place these securities within
the reach of all who are disposodi to aid
their country. ' For their redemption the
faith and honor and property of that coun
try are solemnly pledged. ' A successful is
sue to this contest, now believed to be near
at hand, will largely enhance their value to
the holder; and peace one restored, all bur
dens can be lightly borne. He who with
holds his aid in the hope of turning his
available means to greater immediate prof
it, is speculating upon his country's misfor
tunes and may find that what seems to be
present gain leads only to future loss. -1
appeal, therefore, with confidence to a loy
al and patriotic people, and invoke the ef
forts w all who love their country, and de
rire for it a glorious future, to aid thoir gov
ernment in sustaining its credit, and placing
that credit upon a stable foundation.

To the
Gra. Carrington and nJa Mare's
Nest. .
Few men are better known In thia region
than the wan they call Gca Carrington, and
few men ever lived la this city ut whom so
little good could be laid, or who was more
generally looked upon with eontcuipt He
was always in hot water, breeding distur
bance, and rushing about the streets like a
hen around the barnyard after losing her
chickens. A bloviating numbskull whose
word- no one would ever take more than
once, and then only to be cheated: He
could not live after getting on his rcfiiment
ais without proclaiming martial law in Col
umbus, and to get a pretext was continually
parading his soldiers through the city to get
up an excuse to seize the city and put it un
der military rule. An arrant coward, afraid
of his own shadow and everybody elses shad
ow. Like all cowards, he was sure somebo
dy was going to hurt him, and like all liars
he knew somebody oneht to hurt him if he
had justice done. A Know Nothing, a Jxy
al Leaguer, a niar-plot without brains or
courage, he was a fit instrument to conjure
up in his dreamy imagination, chimeras dire
and schemes of horror.
When sent from here to Indinna there
was universal rejoicing, and the city has
been quiet and peaceable ever since. He
promised his regiment, the LSth U.S. Reg
ulars, that he would lead them into the
thickest of the fight, and where he did not
go he would not ask them to venture I
But did he fulfil this avowal? Not a bit of
it. He never saw his regiment after it was
sent to the front and never yet snielled pow
der, except at the muzzle of a pocket pistol
after it had been tired off. list year when
ordered into the field to pursue John Mor
gan, he got so drunk he could neither walk
nor ride, and was put under arrest for his
conduct. This is tlie man who has under
taken to manage the political fortunes of
iov. Morton, ot Indiana; and was tiov.
Morton either wise, honest or sober as he
should be, he would, for his own safety,
drive him "beyond the lines." -
But enough of this. We refer the read
er to a Report made by this doughty Gener
al who takes his ideas of a Hero from old
Fallstaff, as he can find his samples nowhere
else. A military man who woidd make such
a renort and publish it to the world in the
face of the enemy, can excuse himself on no
other grounds than that he did not believe a
word of it himself. Just suppose for one
moment that this rigmarole of stuff was true.
Then Gen. Carrington and Gov. Morton
make themselves a party to it by giving it
publicity. But it was gotten up for politi
cal purposes and nothing else, aud for that
reason it was made public. Hence instead
of discovering a plot of treason he had
Morton invent a romance for political effect!
What shallow humbugs.
So far as a secret organization i concern
ed in opposition to the oath bound and
bloody lioyal Leagues, Carrington and Mor
ton must be the greenest men out, if they
never knew it before. But men who were
in the Know No hing Lodges first, and the
still more wicked and disgraceful Loyal
Leagues now, dared not make nn issue a
gainst secret political organizations without
condemning themselves. This was their un
pleasant predicament, and hence they had
to pretend that they had just made a new
and grand discovery, and that the "Ameri
can Knights" or "Sons of Liberty" were in
secret league with the. Confederates of the
South in arms.- This is the invention of
Carrington to make it stick and save the se
cret, oath-bound Order, of which he and
Morton are themselves members.
We know nothing more about the Ameri
can Knights than we do about the Loyal
Leaiigciw not so much lor wo have pub
lished very fully what we knew to be their
organization, their oaths aud their "(rum
Thus und Myrrh" incense.
But judging from what has got out and
s:iid to be true, the American Knights is a
States Right: Union organization, including
every body, North and South who are.pre
nared to unite those States, or as many of
them as can be got peaceably together, and
thus once more have "a government" of
law, order and freedom. That there are
now from a half million to a million of men,
banded together, pledged never to give up
constitutional government and the old fash
ioned freedom of our fathers, come weal, or
woe. This is what we draw from the pub
lications and testimony taken at St. Louis,
and given to the pnblic by tho Republicans
themselves. If they have made false state
ments for political purposes, it is with them
to correct them. Ve take the exposition
as it stands, made by themselves, mid made
too for political purposes, by Military au
thorities. Ve may have some hopes of the
Union yet, if this organization if half as
large as reported, as it includes men every,
where who are for a reconstruction of the
States. If this be their purpoc the Order
ought to be doubled in numbers,, and then
their purposo would very likely be accom
plished. Columhui Crisis.

Too Bift a Tish Story.
From the N. Y. Commercial AdcertUer, a
Raptdilicun I'apn:
We strenuously advise all loyal men of sub
stance to emigrate ut. once from this afflicted
and foredoomed land. The whole Repub
lic, from St. Ioiiis to Cape Cod. is under
mined and filled with powder. Mr. Cle
ment Vallundigham sits like a fiend sipping
cobblers with George Sanders, at. the Clif
ton House, and if he fails to be nominated
at Chicago, will quietly drop a spark from
his cigar on the train of this terrific subter
ranean battery, and blow usiillinto!ehaosiiud
black night.
This is no laughing matter. The Provost
Marshal General of St. Louis, so the truth
telling telegraphs informs us, has ferreted
out, iu part, the secret which further inqui
ry enables us thus horribly to complete.
Were all our information inaccurate (which
is of course impossible), tho revelations of
the telegraph would themselves suffice to
warrant the advice we have given. Fancy
an "Order of American Knights, " half a
million strong, armed aud organized and
bent on bloody revolution I Of course none
of these villains will respond, to the next
draft. That will drain the loyal States of an
equal number of reliable citizens, and so
leave the field clear to theso conspirators.
With Loe in our front, and these half mil
lion in our rear, what hope or refuge have
we ? Here in New York, says the telegraph,
the conspirators call themselves "McClel
lan minute men, and number tico huiulred
thousand men!" This after the draft,
gives them an overwhelming majority in the
State. They will at onco seiza Wall street
and the banks, hang Gov. Seymour and
General Dix with impartial scorn, proclaim
Fernando Wood Dictator, make an alliance
with Canadaand dixie, and, marching madly
upon Massachusetts, annihilate the last hope
of freedom! Plainly it is tho part of wis
dom to skedaddle while it is yet tune. :
Shoi'lder Straps for Negroes, and
Menial Service for White Men. Dur
ing the few days of the temporary absence
of Col. Davis, from Hilton Head, caused by
the extreme illness of his wife. Gen. Bir-'
ney, who is excessively excited by what Par
son Brownlow calls "negro on the brain,"'
was placed in command of that post ; aud
to show his utter contempt for tho white
man and his lovo for the negro, he ' detailed
white men to cook rations for the negro. -'
