It will be observed that by thefecord'above,
thirty-six were killed on the : field, and fifteen
died of diseases contracted while in the ser
vice. This record is bruited- in the copper
head organs, in order to show how Vain-are
the, efforts of, the loyal men of ; the land to con-
Tier rebellion, and if possible to prove that
they can never win peace - by apposing:traitors -
'But the candid and true man can only'se e d in
the mournful list of the slain, the y dark,Svi7
dence of complicity with treason on the part
of those who seek to dePreeiate the efforts. of
the ppople of the loyal States to vindicate the
authority of the do'iernment. The blood of
every officer and of every .private soldier: who
perished' - in the War to crush the slavedrivers'
rebellion, is charged to the account of the
,leaders of the. Democratic party; is on the souls,
or such men as Tames , Buchanan, George W.
Woodward, _yoraiip SeiMaut, Frank Eierce,
Valldndigham,, Voorhees, and: thleir colleagUes;
iand whenever a copperhead , organ prints the
record of Each losses, it•only gives• - the evi
deuce of its own sham% and the sum total of
its own work aft an ally of treason..
.Organii.ed Militia
The question involving , an organization
and drill of the Militia generally, has been ,
,
under the consideration of .the Government
for some •time. It cannot fail to be apparent
to every one that ate theaiiiig irmild be E k .
provident one, The first manifestation of
military spirit qfter:e7 series of. years ofTIM%

More recent eyentStave prqveritherthe rep
ple of the .I:hilted-States are' ingnlarly :fitted
by natural talents and qualities of character
for military, seryiee.., They make,when : duly,
trained, the bravest and hardiest soldiers in
the world. They combine all the impetuosity
and dash of the French, with more than, all
. ,
the sturdy pluck,'Cridurance, and persistence
of the English infantry:: But while we hate
suah excellent raw material out of which to
manlifacture the,most invincible armies, the
raw Material itself cannot be improvised into
consummate brigades, battalions and corps
d'armee. It takes time to effect the cbangs;
end the soorker, i `therefore,s that the VeBPloi of
all the loyal States realize this fact and go to
work to complete a perfect militia orgaliza
tion, the better it will be for the several States
and for the whole Country.

Franklin, Post-master. The paper, now worn
almost to rap, bears date April' 14, 1763, and

soon to see the'etigreS on his shoulders changed
to the stars of a Major General. He deserves
this promotion.
Tim Cincinnati Gazeye says with entire
truth as we conceive : If, we estimate by the
feeling toward the President personally, his is
the most popular Administration since Wash
ington's." The Gazette then proceeds to show
that the only feeling , Against Air..lincoln . :by
right-minded men, is ., account pC:certain
members of his Cabinet' and their friends,
who are really arrayed against the policy : of

THE SoUthern chivalry arc changing thefr
opinions of the valor and the fighting quali
ties of the negro soldiers. It is now admitted
that the African can and will fight; that he
has courage to meet any foe—but then, spy
the chivalry, ".The nigger is a barbarian."
That,dependsi_npon one contingency. If the
traitors treat the negro,es as brutes, when
they get an advantage of them in the field,
the afoAsairlraitOri must expect like treat
ment when Stimbo bedoines the victor. Like

Ix a biographical sketch of loim.b. Rives,

'said of him : He allowed none. to be as gener

who lives in this city, though he earnea the
means by incessant;-hell' 'directed labor, be

,Death of Hon: Joshua R. aid-
Hon. Joshua Et - Giddings, . Consul-General
of the United States at :Montreal, died sud
denly at that pity, at ten, o'olock last evening.
He :was born at Athens,, Pa., October 26,
1795, but removed to, Ohio .wben ten years of
age. He served a& - a soldier in the war of
1812, when but seventeen years of age. After
WI) close of the war he studied' law with Hon.
Ighsha Whittlesey, and was admitted to the
;bar in 1820. He was
,a member of the Legis
lature,_af the State., of Ohio in 1826, , and
in 18381vas elected tc; Congress as the suc
cessor of Mr. WhitileSeV . ..`Here distin
guished forhis steady`and determined oppo
sition to Slavery and the Slave-trade: In Ib4l
an Anierican vessel,' the Creole, - sailed from
Virginia for New Orleans with a cargo of 136
slaves.. During thepassage alrevolt occurred,
,in which the slaves killed one man, took pos
seesion of the vessel, and entered the British
port of Nassau. On the 21st of. March, 1843,
Mr. Giddings offered, in Congress a series of re
solutions, deelaring that Slavery was an abridg
ment of natural right—that the slaves in the
Creole had violated no law of the United
States in regaining 'their personal liberty, and
that they were xtot-degally liable to 'punish
iment. These resolution& brought down upon
hiht, the displeasure of the HouSe, who, by a
vote, severely condemned his 'conduct. Mr.
Giddings then instantly:resigned his seat, but
was immediately re-elected, and resumed his
seat,after an absence of only six Weeks. • His
whole period of paPice in Congress
_WO
twenty-one years. $e was a strong supporter
of General Harrison and Henry Clay, but on
Anti-Slavery ground&reinsed to, support Gen
eral Taylor. In 1859, he was conspicuouS. for
.his opposition to the enactment ,of - the "com
prowls° .meattures,'.' especially 'the Fugitive
Slate Law. In - 1843,he wrote e deride po
'liiieal essays; signed , 'll'acifterti;' and m. 1858
he • Compiled The.'Exilea of Florida. •• A Vol
, ume of his speeches Congress has also
• been published. • • ,
;On the Bth of . filay,Mr: Giddings suddenly
fell while addressing the Hoiise, and was for
a - long time unconseinus.' On the I.7th' of
January, 1858, he, fell, in'thp same way, and
was, for a time, supposedtto be; dead. It is
probable he died from'ti similar attack—an
affection of the nervoua'system acting lip o n

A Man Who Works Wi thout

[Tashington Correspondence of the Cincinnati
Compiercia/.] •
A few weeks :alike I wrote'of a man who
didn't want an'offi.ce. NOWrI hive a still more
startling tact to announce—a man who holds
an office under the Government, works , hard
and won't take any pay for it. The rara avis
* Mr. Whiting, Solicitor of the War Depart-
Ment, and the case, as related to me by an
intimatb friend of his, is as 'follows : About
two years ago Secretary Stanton wrote to Mr.
Whiting, whom he had known well and favor
bly as a lawyer for many years, at his home in
Massachusetts, informing him that he was
about to create the office of Solicitor for the
war Department, and tendered him the.posi
tion, at a salary of:$000 a year, I 'believe.
Mr. Whiting replied that he would be glad to
serve the' overnment in the capacity named,
and would accept the office upon' one condi
tion, that he receive no pay or emoluments of
any kind, and have the privelege 'of 'bearing
his own expenses at the capital' This was
finally, though reluctantly acceded to by Mr.
Stanton, and :. ; ; Whiting , left his palatial
home in New England; And took up his abode
in Washington City.-INot'content with refus
ing to receive compentiitiOn himself, he drew
up an instrainent'in: .and - filed it, in
the. War
,Departmelit; ,atipulating that in case'
of his death while liars, big family should not
be entitled to - cind dollar Tor , the services; he
May have rendered. :Mr. Whiting is a rich

Operations of Moseby's Ou a rft r
las.
•. • WASHINGTON, May 27.
The troops - having been drawn in from
Fairfax Station on Wednesday to take the
place of those• forwarded to the front, the
guerrillas, under. Moseby, had, presented to
them a fine Opportunity to exhibit their de
structive proclivities, and accordingly set to
work to destroy all the buildings in the vi
cinity, .consisting of block-houses, ware
houses, &C., which they accomplished most
effectually by firing them. All the stores were
brought in several days ago, so that -nothing
of the kind fell into the hands of the ma
rauders.
From a Eattle-Field Letter.
"We'll rally round the Flag, boys."
During one of those eventful nights, when
the troops lay in line of ;battle behind their
temporary fortifications of dirt, logs arid rails
and the continuous crack of the sharpshoot
er's rifle" rolled along our front, a solitary
voice struck - up the atriotic song, " Rally
round,the flag, boys," and almost instantly,
thousands of the men, who seemed to have
been waiting for somethin... to dissipate the
gloom which thoughts .of the day's carnage
tied engendered, were shouting in a chorus
wfflch " shook the depth of the forest's
&join:"
"The Union forever, boys, hurrah 1
DO.WIL with the traitors, and up, with the
stars," Sc.
As down the line it went, the refrain swell
ed.iinto one.vast roar 4 exultant, triumphant,
and breathing defiance to- the .wary enemy,
Whose only reply was the spiteful whiz of ex
tra bujlets from their skirmish line, whistling
harmlessly by. •

GRANULAR DENTIFRICE f
AMERICAN TOOTH WASH!
TiFSE elegant preparations combine the
tust desiritble eleanging and astringent qualities.
They render the Gums hard and healthy; neutralize the
acid secretions of the mouth, (thereby - removing the
prime cause of decay) By their detersive properties they
preserve the natural color of the Teeth, without in the
least degree injuring the enamel, while they impart to
the breath a fragrance peculiarly aromatic and
plea nc—
In fact they are THE BEST ARTICLKS in use for the pur
poses named, as a fair trial -will fully demonstrate, and
as has been abundantly proved by their extensive sale iu
this community during the last 14 years; and which will
be readily testified to by many who have repeatedly
urged the Proprietor to still further extend their sale and
usefulness. They are warranted to be free from thaw
destructive acids which so frequently contaminate mazy
of the preparationsof thepresent day. Prepared and sula
at the Dental Rooms of the Proprietor corner of Second
