PPLECn OF THE
Hon. Wm. A. Graham,
OF X OUT II <A no LIN A.
On the occasion of the ime.ing of the
officers of the Miliiin of the county, aiul a

ihe general desire addressed ihe people on

iht* country. \\ e are able to pres* nt but
a meagre outline of Ids remarks, which oc
cupi* and about an hour in the deJivtiy.
Mr. Graham said : We are in the midst
of gleat events. For months past ottr po
litical skies have been dark and lowering.
The couutiy has stood in anxious suspense
on the peril* us edge of civil war. And in :
despite of the counsels and exertions t
national, | atriotic and conservative men,
at the head ol whom it is not invidious to
place the name of the gallant and veteran
statesman, John J. Crittenden of Ken-;
tucky, and. as 1 believe, in-despite of the
wislns and sentiments of a majority ot
American people North and South, it the
voice ot lhe people could he allowed to b
heard, civil war is actually upon us. In
regard to the cailiei causes leading and
tending to this dire event and their suttici
i etiey to produce such a result, some *>t us
i have entertained diverse opinions It is
well known that 1 among others, have in
sist* and, that the < lection ot Mr. Lincoln anil
his h< ing invtsted with the power of Pres
ident of ill** United States, obnoxious a.*
were his own avowals cf sentiment in rela
tion to slavery in the South, and still more
obnoxious as Was the spirit of hostility to
us. which animated tin* mass ot his parts
follow* is, was not a sutHcimt cause tor a
dismeiiiherint nt ot this < *ovt rum* tit, and
the and struction of the Union, that then
sttaitiing provisions of the Constitution,
the conn tot act ing lldlllenceS of the Legis

j Government, both *.f which, for the pies

I tioti to the object humble creed of hmisi li
| and liis part\, atnl the well established fact
| that his election was ilhctid by divisions

Government, up*in the announcement ol

and in this disapproval were sustained, it
is no exaggeration to say. b\ a huge major

election which had takftjpl.ee Hilfici* nt

tiiis hitherto untried comae ot proce* dings
and levied armies to d* tend it by force. —
The au.hotities of the United States de
nied the t ight ot secession claimed by these
>tats, and the danger. became great of a
collision of arms. The issue was made, hut
i vaded under the administraiian ot Mr.
liuehanan. Its solution by Mr. Lincoln
has be* u a matter of anxious contemnlat i- m
to the people of the country since his ac
cession to power. Wha ever may he the

A well-known gentleman of Winchester,

*‘M ‘j' *r, I wish that y.,ti would lead y -ur

He immtdia.ely did s->, observing to the
man :
‘•I am n**t a major, and you need not
call me ,ne.”
To this the ferryman replied :
* 4 A efi Knrntd, I ax your jiardon, and
I’ll not call you s> n< niot#,.**
Having artived at th,* landing he
led liis horse out of the b>*at, and said :

Advice to Volnn e rs.
llowto FnhP vKE rut the Campaign.
A w 11 1 el - , whu signs lon s it “An Gld
8 Idler,” g.ves the .o.iowug advice to
v U ig sold e- s :
1. il mic .ii* r that in a campaign mae
111. ll (lies ft out sickness than Jun ,Ik. bui-
I !*•.
2. Lne your blankets wi b one thick
liehs ot brow ndi illmg. 1 h.s adds but 4
! ounces in weight, and douhhs tlie warmth.
3. Buv a small India lubber blanket
(only §1 5 >) tola) on the ground ot throw
v-r you* shoulders’ wh n on guard duty
du mg a ram Storm. M §t of ihe Fasttrn
tro ps are provided with li se. Straw to
li * on is not alw y* t>> he had.
4 The h. si iniji.ary hut in use is the
light c dor* and soil teh: the crown being iuf
ficieniiy high to allow space for air over
ttie brain. Voti can fasten it- up as a con
tinental in lair weather, or turn it down
win n it is wet or very sunny.
5 Let your beard grow, so as to pro*
tect the throar and lungs.
6 K'*ep your entire person clean; this
prevents fve s&nd b >wel c< mplaiuts in
warm climates. Wash yonr body each day,
il possit.le. Avoid siroug cots.-e and oily
meat. lien, bcoit said that the too free
n*e of these (:ogether with neglect in kee
ping the skit: clean) cost many a soldier
his life in Mexico
7. A sudden check of perspiration by
chilly or night air often causes fever and
death. When thus exposed Dot for*
gut your blanket.
