be one consolation left us; our'lives and

now, for “negro emancipation.’’ If
McClellan has to fight, it will be fqr
the preservation of the Union and tbe
Constitution. He will, issue no edicts
“to whom it may concern” informing
the nation that war, lasting fierce and
inexorable is its lot, as long as there is
a slave in tbe Soutb to fight for. If after
every other means fa exhausted to secure

the result.? It is time tu cease fighting
and to begin talking; and when again
tbe rebel Vice President, or any one else
empowered to speak for the rebel Gov

thereby rendering more drafts necessary
to continue “Lincoln’b Abolition war. ”

Mb. Editor: My attention was called
to-day to a desperate and Vftlgar attempt
’at witticism of the Commercial of this
city, by a large heading in the Army
hews of that paper, stating that "Me
Clellanism in the army was dying out,"
and then follows the same old stale quo

credited to an intelligent contraband.)
“A gentleman who has spent a ween
With the army reports much less Me-

said that the number of killed and
wounded of the old army was very
large, the readers would understand him,
bdt this insult upon our dead compatri
ots will but stimulate the old guard to
jtheir duty at-the coming campaign, and,
after three years service in the army,
and being-a close observer, I would ask
that gentleman “if he ever heard an offi

The 7-40 Government Loan
Its lilbsral- Interest.
The general rate of interest is six per
cent! , annually. This is seven and three
tenths, payable temi-annually. If you
lend on mortgage, there mnst be a
searching of titles, lawyers' fees, stamp
duties and delays, and you will finally
have returned to you only the same kind
of money yon would receive from the
Government, and less of it. If yon in
vest in this loan: yon have no trouble.
If there is no“ National Bank at hand,
any banker will : obtain' it for you with
out charge, antLpay you the interest cou
pon at the end of six months as a most
Convenient form of remittance to his
city correspondent. If you wish to bor
row ninety cents on the dollar upon it;
you have the highest security in the
market to do it with. If you wish to sell
it, it will bring within a fraction of cost
and interest at any moment. It will be
very handy to have in the honse.
"The Secretary of the Treasury has
been told that lie must ‘buy money at
the highest rate necesßnry to command
it;" that he should sell his obligations
“for whatthey would bring,” so as to
lead the market; bat the Secretary will
■ do no Such thing. If Shylock bought
bonds at9o in August, he would demand
a concession of another ten per cent, in
September, and twenty In October,
until he would finally offer to lend only
the interest and keep the principal. If
Government securities are worth any
thing, they are richly worth all their
face calls for in gold, and the country is
> not so poor in spirit or in parse as to
submit to any such sacrifice as Shylock
demands. There'is but'a limited sup
ply of money seeklnginvestinent at any
time, and the Government offers to pay
liberally for its use. At the rate of sev
enand three-tenths l per cent, per-annum,
to say nothing of the collateral advan
tages; it U the strongest borrower ih the
market;-andeverf feeling of interest, as
waUßa-patriotism' and duty, should in-
Idocaqac readers to invest in its loans.

President Lincoln and Gen. Fre
The Rev. M D Conway, the well
known clergyman and earnest advocate
of the anti Blavery cause, who is now
absent from this country on a visit in
Euglsml undertaken for the purpose of
enlightening British public opinion on
the nature of the issues at stake in our
struggle, gives, In his letter to the Bos
ton ".Commonwealth," under date of
Loudon, July 20, 1864, the following
suggestive account of an interview had
iviih President Lincoln by a deputation
of anti-slavery men from Boston, to pro
cure the removal of Mr. Stanley, as
Military Governor of North Carolina,
and the appointment of Major Gen. Fre
inont in hiß place. Mr. Cunway writes:
"I remember once visiting President
Lincoln in company with Dr. Howe,
Wendell Phillips, Major Stearns, F. W.
Bird, and others, to request the remov
,al of Stanly from the Department of
North Carolina, where he was notor
iously setting aside the President’s then
fresh proclamation of freedom, and re
sisting all efforts at making North Caro
tina a free Statu. The President asked
us whom we would put in Stanly’s
place. Fremont'a name was suggested
—he being then out of any command.
\Vhereupon the President said: Gentle
men, it is generally the case that a man
who begins a work is not the best man
to carry it on to a successful termina
tion. 1 believe it was so in the case of
Moses—wasn’t it? He got the children
of .Israel out of Egypt, but the Lord se
lected somebody else to bring them to
their journey’s end. A pioneer has
hard work to do, and generally gets so
battered and spattered that people pre
fer another man though they may ac
cept the principle. Don’t understand
me as having myself the least objection
to Mr. Fremont; but he is so associated
with abolitionism that many people ob
ject to the man even though they go his
way.’ I took down the President’s
words that day, and those who were
with me will witness their correctness.
Two reflections may be awak
ened by them: 1, Ttiat Mr. Lincoln de
liberately selects to carry forward his
policy (if it can be so called) of freedom,
men specifically unrepresentative of it,
and even opposed to it—it having been
for a long time the case in America that
those who were not for freedom Were
against it; 2, That Mr. Lincoln Is averse
to seeing the application of whatever
troth there is in his theory to the one to
whom it particularly applies—himself.
Under him the war was begun: he had
to.deal With the disaffected; is it not
barely possible that he has become so
‘battered and spattered’ as to make it~
well for him to give up the leadership to
some Joshua?”
Mr. John Mullaly, . editor of the
Metropolitan Record , published at New
York, Who waß arrested last week on a
charge of inciting “one Seymour and
others to resist the draft,” has been re
leased, after a judicial examination, by
United States Commissioner Osborne.
The opinion of Judge Osborne is to the
effect that, while it admits the fact that
the language complained of, as embod
ied in the obnoxious articles, is calcula
ted “to embarass and distract the plans
and measures of the Administration,
creating hostility and enmity to ail pub
lic acts which flow from the Executive
head of the Government,” yet resistance
to the draft can only properly be charg
ed againßt a person when one shall coun
sel another to resist the draft wheq the
sameialn actual operation. The Com
missioner, therefore, decided “that ’the
defendant is not properly held on ;the.
complaint," and he was thereupon dU-
Pi«wged,, ~ .

A* FUribuff,Tornado—Great De
" struetion pf iJJopertw;..^
On F-ridayCthe strip of
country a few.milps north anoieaatrof
Dayton was visited by one of tlie most
teripliSatid,. destructive tornadoes ever
kBOWnDt' thie-Weat. Persons who wit
nessecTthe tearful phenomenon, say that
it waa the' cdfliildn, by violent counter
currents of wind 'of two dense cloudß,'at
a point not far'from Johnson’s Station,
on the D. and M. ~Rofid,. about six miles
north of., the city, l producing a whirl
wind; anflthe united tempest swept in
an easterly direction with frightful ve
locity, the clouds plunging along a few
hundred feet above the earth, over a
tract several hundred yards In width,!
prostrating and driving everything be-'
fore them.
The first of the storm's doings, of
which we are informed, was on the
farm of Eddy Braith, on the canal and
just east of the Station, .where two’ Wga
barns were destroyed, with their con
tents of grain, and other valuables. Not
a post of these .structures were left
standing; the lumber was scattered in
piecemeal before the blast. Two more
bants, and a tenant houafc on the' esUte,
were partially destroyed, a child in the
latter, was severely injured, and two
horses in one of the bams received se
rious injury. Grain stacks were also
blowh down and scattered; fencing was
torn away—in one place some Beventy -
five yards of fence, was blown- right ou t
of the ground, the posts accompanying
the raiU into the air. Bhedding and
out-houseS were swept away like chaff.
The damage to- Mr. Smith will probably
reaclj $B,OOO. .
Along the course of the storm, or
chards were utterly prostrated, and ma
ny ot the trees twisted offlike pipe-stems
and carried before the wind Hke dust.
Porrestß were crushed like stubble un
der the fleet Tootstep. Before the pow
erful whirlwind was a cloud of debris ,
comprised of fragments ot roofipg,
sheaves of grain, limbs of trees, bits oil
fencing and all the loose trash which
could be made the sport of the furious
wind, while all along the ground every
thing movable went crashing to ruin;
making altogether the most frightlul
sight ever witnessed in this meridian.
On the old Troy Road the house of
George Fishbaugh was wrecked, and his
barn destroyed, killing a horse and cow.
Mr. F.’s child was dreadfully hurt by a
stove falling upon it. Mr. Wm. Oram
and wife were returning home in a bug
gy. The vehicle was copsized, and the
occupants -who are very heavy people
-were capsized, and both hurt; Mrs.
'•ram so dangerously that it was feared
she could not recover. The horse was
also badly hurt, and the buggy was torn
into bits. All along the course of the
tornado, as far as we can icam, the de
struction of buildings, fencing, trees,
Ac., was complete, although we have
not learned the particulars.
On the Brhnl Kike, near the toll-gate,
the woods, fences, and everything valu
able, were piled in rain.
On the \ alley Pike the barn of Mr.
Dllle was wrecked; and out-houses were
blown away like feathers A large broad
tread wagon was completely capsized,
and the bed crushed beneath the weight
of the running-gears, while a light spring
wagon, standing close by'lt, was not
moved out of place. In thesame neigh
borhood an orchard was ullerly destroy
ed, while a small house, right in its
midst, was not at all damaged.
In ihe vicinity of Kneisley’s the ,lam -
age to property was considerable. On
the line of the A. & G. W. Road, a new
ami complete “shanty,” more than a
hundred feet in length, that had beeD
built for the comfort and accommodation
of the hands along the road, was in
Blanlly removed from its location, and
twisted into splinters, not a post r« j
maining to mark the spot where it stood, ]
and the bedding and clothing of ihe in
mates were carried up into t tie air, and |
lodged into the lops of the trees, across j
Mad River, a distance of several bun- !
dred yards. 1
We have heard of uumen-u* other
Items of the Btorin’s doing north-east of
Dayton, on Friday uftemoon last,
which are not as well substantiated as
wbal we have here related, and are too
wild for credence. We hear of this tor
nado extending through the country
about New Carlisle and also to the re
fion south of Tippecanoe, extending
last; and we have not learned how far
it had progressed in its work ol devasta
tion before its fury was spent. Farmers
living in the region visited by this hurri
cane, say that a Birailar storm passed
over nearly the same track some fifteen
years ago, but it was not near so violent
and destructive. Of course we have on
ly giv6h items of damage done by the
storm. The destruction was great, and
can not be estimated.
Some portions of the country north
and east of Dayton were on the sameaf
ternoon visited by a severe hail storm
which broke windows, destroyed a great
deal of com and tobacco, stripping and
felling the t nrn level with the ground,
and riddling and destroying thcctobacoo
leaves. Mr. Qrafflin, of this city, who
was through a portion of the country
visited by the ktorm, showed us speci
mens of the tobacco ruined by the hail
storm—the average sized hailstones be
ing about as large bs large walnuts.
A Toui-on letter of the 24th of June
says: “Experiments have been* made
here during the last few days with a new
kind of iron-clad gunboats, with im
provements which enable them to move
at a rapid rateon land as well as oh
water. These small vessels sit very low
in the water, and have on the deck an
iron-clad shelter pierced with six port
holes and eighteen embrasures. As they
can be taken to pieces in a few hours and
divided into eighteen blocks, Including
the engine, these gunboats could if requi
red, engage in a naval combat off the
coasta of Provence, with a speed of eight
knots, then be taken to pieces, and,
having been carried away by railway,
be ready to fight again off the coasts of
the |Atlantic in thirty-six hours, after
crossing the whole of France. If- this
new engine of war had existed during
the Italian campaign, Mantua and Pes
chiera might have been captured almost
without a blow, and Venice might have
seen a miniature iron-clad fleet naviga
ting her lagoons.”

Special Advantages of this Loan.
It .is a Nation ai. -.SAyiNoa Bane,
the higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which pkjTi

In addition.to the very liberal, interest on the

sion is now worth about three per cent, per; an
num, for the current rate for &-20 Bonds is not
less than nlnejwr anuuin, and belorfe
the war the premium on six per cent, U. S.

seen that the actual profit on this at the
present market rate, is not less than ten per
cent, per annum.
ITS EXEMPTION FROM STATE OR MUNI
CIPIAL TAXATION.
But aside from all toe ad Vantages we have
ennumerated, a special act of Congress exempts
all bonds and Treasury notes from local ta a ac

about two per .cent, per annum, according to'
the rate of taxation in various parts of the
country. , . : j
It is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders as those issued by the
