SATURDAY MORNING, APR. 30, 1864
Editorial Correspondence.
WARREN, April 29.
CLEVELAND LEADER:--The town is all ablaze with the volunteer militia. It looks like the early days of the war. The regiment from Trumbull county is commanded by Col. J. H. Aspen; no Lieut. Col.; Major H. R. Harmon. There is one company of Warren; two from Weathersfield; one from Newton Falls; one from Hubbard; one from Kinsman; one from Farmington.
The regiment leaves for Johnson's Island to-day. This is not altogether satisfactory to the boys as many of them prefer going out of the State.
Some miserable scoundrel on last Tuesday night girdled about fifteen beautiful trees, belonging to Mr. Fred'k Kinsman, because he assisted in the prosecution of the grog-sellers in this place. He has offered a reward of $1000 for the apprehension of the villain.
The officers in the Provost Marshal's office here are getting everything in order for a draft. It looks decidedly as if the deed would be done.
Some of the townships are entirely "gleaned out" by this new call.
