a Volunteering.
js, <Wr readers will notice by to days issue
that the Government bounty 6f 8:i00 anil
8400 will cease on the first of April.—
There are therefore, but a few days left
f»r volunteering under the increased boun
ties. Our citizens should work diligent-
It ly and faithfully to fill the quotas of their
respective districts. Do not delay; as
delays are dangerous, and there is but
barely time enough to work, for those
who may improve the same. You have
done nobly so far; a little effort now, and '
all will bo well.

ship, we arc informed, have raised their i
quota of men under the late call for 700,- j
000. Well done for Washington. The i
recruits for this township, left liutler for j

to their duty as valiant soldiers.

SAD ACCIDENT. —About 0 o'clock last
Sabbath -evening, a most distressing oc- j
currenee took place at the residence of j
John and Catharine Lowall, on Cunning- j
ham street, Butler. A little girl ageil j
about 15 months, second and youngest j
child of said John and Catharine, was so j
severely burned as to etiuse its dcatH at j
about 1 o'clock 'lie same night.
Mr. Lowall is a blacksmith by trade,
and was absent at Glade Mills, where he
has purchased a small property, and has j
been working at his trade. A family by",
the name of Miller, lives in the same build- 1
ing. Mrs. Lowall and Mrs. Miller had
been together in the same room with four j
small children, two belonging to each (am- j
ily, one a babe of Mrs. Miller's, which j
was in thecradlc. The two Mothers went
•into another room in the same building, j
the second from that fn which the cliil- !
dren were left and down stairs to eat sup- j
per. While they were, eating, they were i
aroused by the screaming of the babe in [
the cradle. They ran up stairs to the I
room, and to their amazement they were !
met by a volume of smoke that was al- ;
most suffocating. They rushed in ; Mrs. j
Miller picked upth babe, and afterscarch- ,
ing they found the child, Emma, sitting j
under the bed, with nearly all its clothes ]
burnt off, and the person of the child was |
burned in a most shock ing manner. The j
poor child was making no lament or noise, j
and the last words the child was heard to
say. were "By: By! Ma."
Parents should be very careful not to leave '
small children by themselves. From the
best information that we have been able j
4o gather, it appears that one of the little j
•children had pokeda corn broom into the ;
fire and had drawn it out again, and by j
some means or other little Emma's clothes j
were set fire. The wash-board was on !
fire, as also the bed under which the child !
•had taken refuge, in a very short time the j
building would have been in flames.

School Exhibition.
A grand school exhibition came oft at
Coal ltun Collage. Summit tp., on Friday
evening, March 18th, at which I had the
honor of being present. On the afternoon, |
previous to the exhibition, the citizens of
the district manifested theirinterest in the
cause, bv erecting a grand stage for the j
beucfitof the students. The performance
•consisted of Orations, Declamations, Essay j
■and Vocal Music; in which the whole
■school participated aud performed their ;
•exercises in a manner highly commenda
ble to themselves, their parents, and also
to their teacher. They showed by_
their performance, that they appreciated
the instruction imparted to them by their i
tether; and thus merited the approbation j
of all true lovers of education. The ex- 1
crciscs were accompanied with instrumen- 1
tal music, by Messrs* Lemon, Bergman,
and Smith. The exhibition terminated
with an eloquent address to the audience,
by Mr. Aaron M'Candless,subject—"Edu-
cation, and an address to the scliool, by
the teacher. D. A. Heck.

for the Cltlten.
The Next President.
i Who shall we elect lor the next Freai
■ dent ?, Let sober-minded citizens ponder
" the question. It is no time to be rashly
: . nominating, but it is time for everybody
j, to be prudently considering. The nation,
just now, is busy with something beside
candidating—having a toilsome task upon
. its hands, having a bloody sweat upon its
. brow. But while the blacksmith is ham-'"
112 mering, the soldier is marching, and the
I farmer plowing, they may be thinking.—
| It is idle to say that because the rebellion
' is on our hands, therefore we are to ban
" ish all thoughts of an approaching change
' j of Administration—a change that may
" ] either be the safety or ruin of thecountry.
- i Besides, if the country is expected to be
" ! able, next summer, to carry on a presiden
j tial and and a military campaign, both at
' once, we see no reason why it is not just
| as able, this winter and spring, to be, not
1 j only conquering the rebellion, but at the
same time taking a wise forethought ef the
I future; first of principles, and afterwards
jof men. Shall Abraham Lincoln be the
J next President ? Wc arc all aware of the
: i trying circumstances under which he was
called to the Presidential chair, the many
| difficulties he had to meet and master.
! His whole soul has been engaged in wip
. J ing treason Trom our land, ridding us of
* sla very, the greatest evil that exists under
our Government; and the restoring of peace
| upon an honorable and permanent basis.
! Or shall we say Gen. Graut ? who is the
j hero of Vieksburg,and been successful in
I so many battles, he has taken ninety thou
: sand prisoners, over four thousand stand
] of arms, besides trains, and other valua
i bios belonging to the rebels. Partyism
: should be laid aside, and only look to the
I electing of a President who will be fully
able to examine, and give a wise decision
to all the complicated problems will
! present themselves to him the next four
years. By the way of cnumera|Mg we
j may suggest a few difficulties that willpre
i sent themselves to the public view. Noth-
I ing less than the establishment andsccuri
: ty of human reconstruction
of a broken reupblic; the readjustment of
| the rights of the states, and of the Fcd
j eral Government; the status of the negro,
i and his conversion into a citizen ; (he pun
i ishment of treason; the reowncrship of
| Southern lands; the Mexican question;
I the Monroe doctrine; the National finan
ces, the fixing uponastandingarmy large
j enough to defend liberty, and not large
, enough to menace it; these and many
j other problems, foreseen and unforeseen,
I are the unparalleled difficulties which the
...
| next Administration must meet and mas
; ter. Those diffieultiesare of such a char
| acter as to require the next President to
i be thoroughly educated as a
; The ship of the State tosses on a rough
sea; the bells will soon ring a change fljl
watch. Who shall take the next turn af
j the helm ? Let it be the safest man to
: steer in a storm, the surest man to find the
I way into port and safe anchor. Give us
| the wisest head, the stoutestarni,thebrav-
I est soul ; and may God help the ship.
A SOI.DIF.II.
The ( all for 200.000 More Men.
Though there have been, for sometime
j past, sundry intimations that another caH
I tor an additional 200,000 men would be
' made, they were pretty generally regard-
I ed by the press and the public as ■'•unrcli
j able"—mere rumors, having their origin in
j a misunderstood remark of somebody in
] Washington to somebody in New York,
j The official document, however, which was
i published yesterday, proves that in this in
! stance the industrious eaves-dropper.who
; first whispered about a third call hadreal
| ly heard something.
There need not have been so much in
j credulity in the premises, we think—for
| as not only our most competent and trust
■ ed generals, but now every leading mem
; bor of the •Government, from the Prcsi
| dent himself downwards, are said to be
: fully impressed with the importance of'
: putting forth such a ce of force,
j as will make this campaign the final and
i decisive one,such a y.reponaerance of force
■ as wt'l not only defeat, butoverwhelm, and
i utterly crifsh out, the rebel armies now ar
rayed under desperate leaders, who well
; know that :t is their last chance in the
; aame of war, —we do not think that it is
| more than simple prudence to hold such a
; reserve army in readiness as will strike
| the last prop of hope aira//, and render
; victory not only certain, but, in the mani
fest hopelessness of resistance, as itnmedi
| ate as certain.
j It is stated that Gen. Grant above all
| desires to have just such an irresistible
force concentrated at the right points, when
i the campaign opens, that there may be no
longer any cause or excuse for doubt, hes
itation, or delay when movements Aegin,
| —and that, havingonce begun, there may
be no step backward, nor even the remot-f |
J est vision of such a posibility.
We have no doubt that far less than
even the 500,000 added to our
mies by the two previous calls, now nfflff
ly filled, would be amply sufficient to un
dertake aud make an end of the work be
fore next winter, but if the addition of
\ 200,000 more, will save the squandering
j of many valuable lives in a protracted
campaign—is it not right, is it not wise,
isit not provident, sit not humane to make
j this call ?
: Besides these considerations, which arise
i in our minds solely from viewing the case
! with reference to the certainly formidable
| forces of the rebellion, raised by the des
perate effort of an exhaustive eonscrip
. tion, is there not also, as we have already
ventured to suggest, another possible ex
planation of this call in the recent indica
tions of l'rench policy—which point un
mistakably to au intention, at least a wish,
to weaken our Government by dividing its
territory, so that the npw empire t*f Mnx
milian. the foster-child of French arabi- <
m
—7" ; |
tion, may have an ally in the Southern
Confederacy of slave-holding aristocrat?
aud re-actiouists, against the progress of
freedom and democratic institutions.
But, be this as it may, in reference to j
French and Mexican complications, there
is still the strongest and most convincing J
argument in favor of putting forth our ut
most force at once, in the fact that such a
course will reach the gieat result aimed at
the soonest, and with aft economy of life
s ( aud money no less deserving of consider
ation than the economy of time. Even if
the Government and its military advisers
have at length fallen into the new error of
over estimating the strength of the rebels,
and are making unnecessarily great prepa
rations for this campaign, to the exteut,
sa Wjf additional call, we will ncver
thAls indorse it as being an error on the
anfe tide —as being the most provident,
economical, and humane employment of
our resources that be made in view
of all the contingenciesand daggers insep
arable from a state of war.

RK£T" The following interesting sta
tistics havAeen recently given as to |
the strength and cost of the standing
artyies of Europe: Russia's standing
«rmy is 1,000,'000 men, costing an- I
nually 26,000,000 sterling, or 42 per i
cent, of the national budget; France I
has 573,000 men, costing 34,000,000, i
or 33 per sent., Austria, 407,000 men,
costing 10,000,000, or 37 per cent., I
Turkey, 424.000 men ; Italy, 314,000!
men, costing *1.6,000,000; England,
300,000 men, costing 33,000,000, or
39 per cent., Prussia, 214,000 men, j
costing 7,500,000, or 30 per cent.-, i
Sweden, 67,000 men,
cent;, Denmark, 50,000 costing *37 I
percent. The whole Staging army
I JMirone is 10.847 men, costing
annually 170,000,000 sterling
Soldier's Widows and Children.
A\ e give below a couple of paragraphs !
which require no oxtende"! comment.— 1
The suggestions they contain should find i
a response in the heart of every employ- !
er and every officer of the Government
wliq has patronage to bestow. We are
not so mindful of the wants of soldiers' ;
widow's and orphans as we should be. A !
greatful people should at least see to it |
that the families of those who have given
their lives for the Union shall never vant. >
"The Senate has confirmed Mr. Lin
col I'S appointmc.itof -Mrs Smith, widow '
of Lieut.Col. Smith, of the 44th Illinois :
who was killed last summer, in one of the
assaults upon Vieksburg, as Postmaster,
or Postmistress, rather—of Rockford 111.
fc'he country will indorse this appointment
and the people will unite in saying there
ought to be more of the same kind.—
There are thousands of such positiiws
that could and ought to be filled by the
widows of our fallen braves, not of officers
alone, but of private soldiers, who, in
sacrificing their lives for the cause of the j
nation, have left destitute families behind
them."
T he foregoing is from the Washington
correspondence of a Cincinnati cotempo
rary. The following is from the New-
York Tribune:
" We understand that Postmaster Wak- j
man propeses to take into the Postofficc 1
a number of boys of sixteen years, j
whose fathers have lost their lives in the i
service of their country, thus aiding their ;
widowed mothers, and introducing them!
into active and industrious employment. 1
The itlea is a praiseworthy one, and we ;
have no doubt will be followed by many
others of our citizens who have employ
ment to bestow suitable for boys,"— Ex- |
