‘Resistance to Tyrents is Obedience to God~ b ¢ J.B.BBTOLL, EDITOR. " WEDNESDAY, AUG. 18, 1860 t _ PENDLETON’S NOMINATION. ~ The nomination of the Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton for Governor is received with ~ the greatest enthusiasm, not only by the - Demotrits of Ohio, but indeed by the . cntire Democracy throughout the Union, It is a most fortunate nomination, and will at once impart the greatest vigor into the conduct of the campaign, That he is the strongest man who could havé been placed in nomination is evidenced by the admission of that most sagacious radical gsheet, the . Y. Tribune, which bluntly confesses that “if the Democrats can car- « Iy.Ohio with any candidate, they can car"ly it with George H. Pendleton. They have put up their most popular man—he would not have consented to run unless, both in his own judgment and in that of the devoted friends who have given him this nomin‘htion% the interests of the party required him to accept, and they belicycd that they could’elect him. There has been a good deal of disaffection, not to say demorglization, among the Ohio Democrats. It will not do to count any longer on “that. The nomination ot Pendleton shows their alarm ; but it also shows that they mean business.” . 3 : To which the . Y. Worid adds: “For just once we see things with thé‘}‘rﬂwgc, and believe that George H. Pendleton will. go into the Governor's chair with a . rousing majority. The Ohlo people are > tired of being cheated out of the protection of law by “patriots” and plzndered by thieves who were bellowing “treason” - to divert men's eyes .from their own lawlessness.” o : | e~ (R——r et i i Buchanan—-Grant. * When Mr. Buchanan was the last President of the United BStates, Hon, Howell Cobb, his ‘Secretary of the Treasury, invited him to a trip’ on the noted revenue Qutteqi'l Harriet Lane. 'He went, but when he found that the expense of ‘ tho voyage was to be charged to the government, gavel orders‘to have the bills sent to him for settlement, which they would have been had not Mr. Cobb prevénted it by paying them out of his-own private purse. Now the government is .mulcted, however, to the extent of thousandy of dollars by the excursions which first, | President Grant and Mr. Borie, and sccond, Admiral Porter and Sceretary Robeson, make hither and thither. The cxpense incurred by the Tallapoosa is“notgreat enough !to warrant the {impeach: | ment of those who junket round in her, but the incidbnt related of Mr. Buchanan shows the different instinet which a born gentleman entertains of his duties , from that held by his latest successor.

: The Ohiio Democrncy. As predicted in our last, the Democratic State Committec have nominated the Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton for Governor, to till the vacangy occasioned by the declination of Gen. Rosecrans. On the eveningjof the 11th inst., the Democrats of Columbus held & jubilee over the nomination of the Hon, George tl. Pendleton, for Governor. They assombled en masse at the State House at 8 o'clock. The meeting was called to order by John G. Thompson, who introduced Colonel George W. Manypenny as chairman, . After stating the object of the meeting, he proposed three cheers for the nominee, and tben introduced Hon. Milton Saylor as the first speakor of the evening. - Speeches were also made by Senator Thurman, Hon. Frank M. Kenney, J. M. Connell, and Hon. D. J. Callon. The meeting was very enthusiastic. An enthusiastic ratification’ meeting ,was also held at Cincinnati. ' Disasters at Sea. Z New York . papers record the total wreck of the steamship Cleopatra, bound from Montrea! to Tondon, and lost at sea ‘Bunday night, Bth inst.; the steamship Germanis, which left N. Y. lJﬁ)rt;, August 8, and was lost off Cape Race; and the steamship Jacinto, from the same port to Savannah, which went ashore on Body's Island carly Monday morning, 9th inst. ‘We have very few details as yet of these digasters, but it is gratifying to learn that in every instance the entire crews and all the passengers were saved. “ et e . /A Radieal Opinion, The Providence Herald (Radical) does noﬁ entertain tho most exalted opinion of Mr. Grant, or hig fitness for the great office he'only nominally fills, It says: “Really, Grant knows but - little of what is going on, and cares less. - Ho is a cigher. He has fOt rich through presents and Stewart’s aid in Wall street, and he will retire with his trotting horses to the obseurity for which he is'so admirably quelified.” S !

L-m NATIONAL nl;‘m* HOCUS-PO-i c y Almost every radical paper we pick up, ‘now-a-days contains one or more arti“cles in laudation of Mr. Boutwell’s man“agement of the public finances, making a Btrong effort to lead the public into the belief that under his administration of

the treasury the public debt has been in fact reduced seven millions of dollars ‘during the month of July, and “nearly forty-four millions since Gen. Grant assumed the Presidency.” TheNew York World—b paper that hasearned an envi_able reputation for the correctness of its statements and the reliability of its figures—has gone to the trouble of investigating this matter, and arrives at the conclusion that whilst: it must be admitted that the statements prepared by Mr. Boutwell are ingeniously contrived, they deceive no one who does more than merely glance at the figures which set forth their totals. The simple truth, as every one with eyes to see must have by this time perceived, is that the debt is not reduced at all, The lowest point at which the debt, less cash in the Treasury, ever has stood since September 1, 1865, was on May 1, 1868, when it was reduced to $2,500,528,827. Mr. Boutwell's statement for August 1, 1869, indeed, makes the debt, less cash in the Treasury, $2,481,566,786—an apparent reduction of $18,962,091. But this result is a fictitious one, obtained by manipulations which every one sees through, and the debt, 1t made up on the same system which prevailed in May, 1868, would show a total of $2,508,008,638, less cash in the Treasury—an actual increase of $8,180,706. - . Weall know what the reply to this will be. Mr. Boutwell makes up his statements on a different system from that adopted by his predecessors:—he adds the accrued interest and omits the bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad company.— But if Mr. Boutwell's own statements are examined, the one with the other, the fallacy of the claim that he is reducing the debt will fully appear. He took charge of the treasury in March,sand his first statement was that showing the condition of the debt on the Ist of April.— Now, let us compare it with the state‘ment for August 1, and see where the reduction comes in:' ol Intorest debt..... 88,108.576,660 ssﬁ%ﬁéoo Interest ............. 87,519,830 ° 381,850,038 Currency interestdebt. 68,605,000 64,810,000 Interest......occooto - 924,075 1,207,700 Matared debt.......... 6,003,408 = 4,790,056 Totaredt:. ... ivesss 800,511 660,784 Legal tender: and de- . mand n0té5,.;.... 856,005,154 356,116,719 Fractional Currency. ; 86,675,830 31,030,299 Gold cerlificates...... 21,672,500 86,725,840 T0ta1,.............. 82,636,202,455 §2,635,132,785 Actaal decrease, Only. .« v.ueecvieis 1,079,717 Look at these figures! The gold-bear- I ing debt has énereased, under the care of | this model statesman, $54,650 in four months; the currency intercst debt has decreased $3,795,000; the matured debt has decreased $1,218,847 ; the legal tender and fractional currency bas decreased $5,593,966, and the gold certificate debt | has increased $15,058,340. The most burdensome debt of the United States, of course, isthat which bears interest,— ‘Well, the interest bearing debt on April Ist was $2,127,481,650, and on the Ist of August it was $2,272,741,800—a reduction of §8,740,850 in four months; and that is all. G

But is there no per contra # Certainly Yhere is a per sontra, and here it is, The “amount in the Treasury,” according to the system pursved in making up the statcments, is deducted from the amount of the debt; which is likea man who owes $lO,OOO counting the loose change in his pocket as an offset to his debt.— The amounts,in the Treasury on April 1 and ‘August 1 compare as follows: iy _ Aprtll, Augustl, ColnL v vveivneniniie e, $62,680,865 $66,405,770 Coin due depositors, ...... 21,672,500 36,725,840 Currency ..........ovveeese 6,802,628 28,881,654 e R PR, S R R TOtAl,. . .v.vesiuns ies oo 111,005,998 158,556,002 INCTOAsO . . yvivniavossasivinisvennanses 43,650,009 By adding this increase in “amount in the Treasury” to the $1,079,717 actual docrease of the debt, Mr. Boutwell and his eulogists figure up “a decrease in the debt” of $48,629,726 in four months, and call upon all of us to fall down and worsllp him. DBut nothing oanld ha aa fallacious as to call this “a decrease,” For, should anything happen to cause the $36,726,840 of coin in the treasury belonging to depositors to be withdrawn and the jcurrency balance to be reduced ten millions of dollars—which events may happen at any time—the nominal decrease of the debt would be at once changed into an increase of three millions of dollars. The utmost that can be said in favor of Mr. Boutwell’s four months’ work is this: the debt has increased by causes out of his control $1,079,717, and he bas converted $27,342,780 of gold and currency into that amount of bonds, which at present are lying in the treasury instead of being on the market. So long as they lie - there it is all well enough, but until they are cancelled or destroyed there will be no surety that they may not be again put on the market. When we begin to get statements’ from the treasury showing actual decrease in the amount of our in-terest-bearing debt, without regard to “amounts in the Treasury,” we may know that the burden of our debt is really lessened, but not before.

A Valorous Darkey. A Negro Senator, in South Carolina, recently told a large assembly of his constituents (blacks): “The white people say they are going to bring coplies. and white emigrants to this country. But this country is ours ; we’ve got the Legislature and we won’t allow it—and we won’t. We'll put the white man ten feet under ground, and as to the coolies, we'll put them twenty feet,”—This is about the shortest solution of the Chinese question We have yet heard. ' e S eot e . Our contemporaries are rapidly falling into line on tg(e) advance system, and in less than one year we expect to see every nGWspa‘Eer conducted on the cash principle.

’ . CROPS ABROAD. . The V. Y. World, of the 13th, ﬁ;ﬂ the wheat harvest thronghout England | bas now cominenced, and will be ended ina fow days. Since the middle of June -the weather has been exceedingly favora. “ble fogbhe wheat crop. It was thought in the latter part of May that the har- | vest could not be an early one and that | the crop could not be large; but on the | 26th of July samples of ripe grain were "exhibited in London of full average qual1’ ity, and on the 31st of that month it was | well” known that the harvest would be ’ carly rather than late, and that the crop | would bea very good onme on all well- | farmed |and properly drained lands.— | There were some reports of blight and | gome rut:nors of rust ; but these were only 1’ local mishaps, and the general indications towere all favorable. The extent of land i under . wheat this year is about the same | 88 in 1868; and the prospect of an early, | good, and ‘extensive harvest had already caused a decline in prices.” - The weather in thenorth of Europe has recently been unfavorable for the crops. In Italy and Algeria the harvest is over, and the yield has been abundant. Spain, ‘which last, year had to import wheat, has this year been blessed with a most prolific harvest, and there will be a surplus for exportation, In Hungary the quality of the grain-this year is very fine, though 'some douhits are expressed us to the quantity. In the greater part of Germany the |Clups arcfolorably guud. 1n the south of Russia the yield of wheat bids fair to be ‘excellent. In the south of France the | harvest is complete, and the yield of ‘wheat is good. The general tendency of prices for breadstuffs all over Central and ' Southern Europe islower. - On the whole,’ ‘our farmers can scarcely expect that there ' will be a very large foreign demand this | year for wheat. e I Earning toe much Money. | Senator Wilson, in an address to the | Trade’s Union of Rochester, said: “I am ' one of those who believe the country’is earning 'too much money altogether. I | believe 'we had better make less money ' and in a more honest ‘way, and devote | more of our time to moral, mental and | social cultare.” | It takes one-half, if not more, the country earns to pay fits revenue taxes and tariff duties, If, saiys the Racine Argus, the country earned 'any less, it would be a hard matter for the producing classes to make a living. Senator Wilson is not a ,competent judge. He is a member of congress and a party that have well filled purses filched from the hard earnings of the people. The treasury of the United States has been under their control. If Mr. Wilson was compelled to earn his Eliving in the same manner that a large majority of the people have, he would vot think that “the country is carning ‘too much money.” If, when he says, “I believe that we had better make less money, and in a more konest way,” he means ‘radical congressmen, revenue . swindlers, j"jgovemment contractors, land grabbers, freedmen’s bureau officials, and carpetbaggers, the laboring masses of the coun|try will agree with him. It may be Ethat when he says “the country is earning too much money,” he means that the peoIple are too independent, they have not

‘been oppressed enough to be in the proper condition to quietly submit to the imperial government in formation for théem. If this is - what he means, he is undoubtedly.correct. When the country canuot earn money cnough to pay its yearly expenses, let alone paying anything on the principal of its debt, it isa po&j time topreach such doctrine as Senator Wilson preached before the Trade's Union of Rochester. - A

The Republican Split in Mississippi— Sharp Letter to President Grant. G. Gordon Adams, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi, and one of the most prominent supporters of Judge Dent, on Thursday last, forwarded to the President the following letter resigning his position: - | W asHvaroN, D. C. August 10, 1869. Do his Excellency U, S. Grant, President of the United States : : SR :—I respectfully tender my resiguotion of tho offico of Attornoy of tha United States for the Southern District of Mississippi. Though the office is not one of much importance, I cannot retain it without being identified, to some extenf, with an administration whose acts, 8o far as they relate to my own State, I cannot approve. Major Wofford, an officer of the late rebel army, who, in defiance of the contumely and reproach heaped upon him by the SBouthern people, supported bravely and almost alone in his district the reconstruction policy of Congress, has been removed from office.-— From the late approved published statement of your views I am justified in the beliet that this is done 1n accordance with the establishsd policy of your administration., From the same sources I learn your confidence in and su[:{)o‘r't of General Ames, an officer who has degradcd his position as military commander of ‘the Fourth Military District, by exercising its functions solely in furtherance of his own personal and party ends, unhesitatingly ,avowing that he desired to use ‘the highioffice of Senator from my State as a stepping-stone to the appointment of Brigadiet General in the regular army, and whose whole course in that State has been marked by a tyrannical exercise of power utterly antagonistic to the spirit -of the reconstruction laws. Asa resident of Mississippi, and one of the founders of the Republican Party in. . that State, though never a political aspirant, I would be false to my State and to the Republican princiflear which I havealways maintained, if I longer retained the office to which your l{ind preference h:ts.s Imssigned me. o am, very respectfully, your obd’t servant, = G.GORDON ADAMS.

Cordan Kenneman, a farmer and stock dealer, who resided in the suburbs of Flora, 111., was shot dead in his door at daylight on the 10th. The murderer, it seems, had secreted himself near the house before dﬁlig}l{:t,’ and shot his victim on sight. Mr. Kenneman’s family ‘were up at the time, and as no attempt at robbery was made, it is. evident that the murder was not committed for money. Fresh tracks, made by a man as he was running, were found in a cornfield near the house.

On Wednesday afternoon William Schubkegal, & resident of Mascountah, Mo., a barber by profession, was murdered in cold blood by a man whose name is given as Henry Gate or Gade. Gade entered a saloon where the deceased was sitting drinking a glass of wine, and, drawinﬁ a butcher-knife made a cut in the left side and across the abdomen, when the man's intestines fell out, and immediately expired. Gade wgs arrested.

- This is asked by that great luminary of the Radical party, Wendell Phillips, in hig own newspaper, the Anti-Sldvery Standard, and he answors it himself in the following bitterly humilidting phrase. —humiliating because itis true/ = “A jockey and seaside lounger; a restless boy, needing constantly to be amused, ‘and 80 impatient of business that he can--not stay at his post more than a week at ‘s time." Five months im office, he has" not yet given usanadministration. But, ﬁ::tmg & copy ‘clerk here and there, to p Lhe machine in motion, he hurries off to idle 8 week at a Wa!;ering-pnlaoe, act Dummy at a monster show, or elpless at a steamboat excursion. The Presidency must indeed be 4 sinecure, if, in sach an hour as this, a man bred up ‘in camp and tanyard can properiy discharge its duties three hundred miles from the cap-: | ital, in the intervals of the race course and the half-hours left after theaters and concerts.” 5 ]

‘On which the Evansville Courier comments: ‘What commentary upon the Republican policy of placing a figuré-head in the Presidential chair, could ‘be more humiliating than the above withering expression of the truth? o RIS

The time has come when the Republicans—of course we mean the thinking, calculating and sincere men of the party—should agk themsclves, carnestly, the above question, propounded by Mr. Phil. lips, and in kilent reflection they should determine and make answer to their own hearts whether Mr. Phillips has answered himself traly., That General G'tmt‘evet manifested 8, singlo oloment miting his for the Presidency of the United States, beyond a stoical reticence upon every question that was canvassed by the pub. lic, no man will aver. It now becomes doubtfal to his own friends whether his silence on all matters appertaining to statesmanship was the result of an indisposition to promulgate his own own opinions, or because he had no opinions to promulgate. Democrats have longago satisfied themselves with reference to this matter. . They believe Grant to be wholly incompetent to discharge, in a ‘becoming manner, the duties of {his office. They believe his stoical silence resulted fram ignorance—that he would have talked if he could, for he had a thousand opportunities to say something, but he remained as dumb as an oyster.— Sensible Republicans begin to question whether it is.an evidence of genius that & man shall never open his mouth, except to return an awkward expression of thanks for a serenade or to be apishly obsequious for the bestowment of a valuable gift! , By It may be truthfully said, that Grant is the only complete Tailure ithat has ever encumbered the. Presidential -office.— All the former Chicf Magistrates have had some commendable qualities, but he has none. - His ambition is to enjoy his own ease, and be flattered and feasted when he appears in public. © He travels abroad to attract notice, leaving the public business to suffer; for which he is only excusable, on the plea, that he has no capacity to attend to that business himself, and the weakest and most incom-. petent men of his Cabisiet: are vastly his superiors. i y et :

Tliis, indeed, is the age of small 'men.— The Senate is below mediocrity ; the House of Representatives is hardly fit to contrast with a back woods lyceum, and the President is not the peer of the veriest noodle in either House. The men who have suffered defeat that such an array of ignorance and stupidity might have the helm of government, at last begin to hope for a reform when they listen to the confessions of men of brains like Wendell Phillips, and see the result of the late elections, which are significant of a greatly needed change. ek ——— - — . ; Attempt to Mob Ex-President Johne son. 5 Just a few days before therecent Tennessee election, ex-President Johnson was invited to deliver an address at Marysville, in that State. Asusual, a very large concourse of people were assembled to hear him speak. He bad barely spoken a few words, when a number of drunken vagabonds and radical: loafers -attemptedito break up the meeting by hooting, whistling and: crying. out “Stop tne a=——a sucker,” “Put him out,” “Shoot him,” “Shut up,” Mn Jolinson paid no attention to the villains, but calmly proceeded with his remarks. Several efforts were made to get hold of him, but without success. The last effort is thus described by a correspondent of the N. Y, Sun, & papet of the “loil” pursuasion: Some of the radical carpet-baggers, unscrupulous villains, who have “probably graduated in some of your prisons, urged the drunkards to a third attempt. They poured more whisky down their throats, and incited them with bribes and promises to make one more effort. Among these demons are several who, beyond all doubt, are known to the police of every city in the Union, namely: Bill Stone, & mail-robber; John Felts, Mat. Gardiner, | Gideon, his brother, Sam Jones, Walter | Everett, and other lesser lights. Before going in themselves, they seized a colored man whom they spied about a block off and made a rush for him. They offered him every inducement to lead the way. They asked him to rush upon the stand and push the speaker off, promising to pay him & handsome sum, and at the same time saying they would stand by him. The negro, humble and unlearned a 8 he was, posively refused to engage in such work, aud being told that in case he refused they - would lynch _him, took out hig revolver, and threatened to shoot gl}e first man who should ‘lay hand upon Sikie Mo iy 1

Baffied in their efforts to screen their acts behind irresponsible negroes, they again armed. themselves by copious drinks of whiskey, and made another rush for the stand, the leader of the gang crying out at top of his voice: “Down with the traitor.” Blount coun. ty won’t be disgraced by the traifor, and we'll be d——q if we listen: to. any stch treason.”: ik : Mr. Johnson, at this renewed assault, which promised to. be more vigorous than the first two, ceased. speaking, and stood unmoved, looking with the groatest calmness upon the excited throng be. neath him, as if no darger menaced%xim. His friends gathered closer around ‘him, and faced the rioters.

By an injunction, " issued against the Ecclesiastical Court sitting in trial of the case, the matter was throwa into the Saporior Courtof | Chuﬁn Judge Jamison presiding.— “His' strange and uuéipezieddecﬁfon in favor of 'the defendant, will result in bringing .the matter before the Supreme Court of Illiuois, at its/winter session, In the mean time it will not be unprofitable to examine into some of the important points i;*volved—f—for should Judge Jamison’s decision be sustained, the case will be taken from ‘the narrow. domain of church polity, and made a question of national importMhoce. . T i The rectorship of Christ Church is gaid to be worth something like $4,500 ‘per annum, besides no inconsiderable amount, of free rent, gifts, &c., &c.— It appears that Rev. Cheney entertains doubts about the peculiar merits and demerits of infant baptism, and for sometime past, has on dundry occasions entirely omitted the important - word “re-generation” from his service. ‘Neither the Rev. gentleman nor his friends attempt a denial of this charge, vag Dy’ gilencu I sho e vlxsually confess his guilt, at least public senti‘ment will not fail to assign. Mr. Cheney to.a position by no means consistent to the position which he occupies. It will ‘be remembered that héis a regularly ordained min‘ﬁster of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and in assuming the responsibilities and obligations of the priesthood, he took upon himself certain solemn vows, which

by most men would be, considered binding in honor as well as in duty to comply with the peculiar tenets of the Church.. Among these yows is one that Linds him to perform the Church service as laid down in the authorized Prayer Book. Now, if the defendant is religionsly’ opposed to the dogmas of the’ Episcopal Church concerning infant baptism, and cannot consistently with his conscientious, qcrﬁyles nse the wérd “re-generation,” he should at onee resign from the ministry. By so doing he would prove himself & reli~gious and honest man, and would not only receive but, ‘would be justly entitled to the sympathy of all honorable men, Mr. Cheney, like most men of the world, has an eye to business. .He has for some time been engaged in Btiilding up & church, or in “casting bread mpon the waters,”’ and now.he. does not propose to suffer the henefits to slipithrough his fingers. He chooses rather to hold hig pulpit, and draw his salary with regularity and precision, than to act the part of a man of a fine ‘sense of honor, and’ voluntarily withdraw from a field of labor which ‘he tacitly admits he cannot fill to the letter and spirit of his obligations.— | His line of conduct was of course objectionable to the Bishop, and by declining obedience to that dignitary, he was brought before the ecclesiastical tribunal for trial. Bishop Whitehouse, it seems, acted in perfect accordance with the canon law, and there is but little doubt that competent church authority will so decide. Mr. Cheney seems unwilling to. have his case decided by a court of the church to which heé belongs, but secks rather to invoke the. interference of the ¢ivil power.— The Judge, who is & personal friend ’to the accused, dwells feelingly upon ‘the’ lags of salary; and strangely con‘cludes to_ interpose his judicial authoxity and allow hie bdgom friend to enjoy: the $4,000 for an indefinite period. | Our design is not to criticige the l’éé@.lity ‘of ‘the decision, but to-cen-sure what appears to us the dishonorable and irreligions conduct of the Rev, Cheney. The principles developed in this unforfunate trial leads one to 'suppose that the civil courts ean prevent any church from expelling a member, though he may have violated every principle of the creed. A minister of -the gospel may become grossly ilﬁmoral, even to profanity and licentiousness, and when summoned to anéw@" charges before a church court, he can employ a shrewd lawyer, get out an: injunction, and snapping his fingers in- the face of ‘his accusers; go on with his preaching in the most per-fect-gecurity. All this is contrary to the genius of our institutions, is opposed to common sense, and we believe will be repudiated by the better judgment of the American people.

BY making a “Senter” shot in the mecemt Tennessee election, the Demoerats have a half hundred clear majority in the Legislature. - This will insure the ‘election of a good Demgerat to the U. 8. Senate in place of the Radical Judge Fowler. There isa feeling slowly creeping over the radieals, that one ‘Andrew’ Johnson may be the man.

_ STRANGE DEATH OF A CHILD.—At Williamsport during the eclipse, a little child, with several others, was looking at the sun, when all at once the little fellow complained of a severe pain in the head, was, suddenly t&ken sick, .died that evening; and was buried the next day. -As the child was in usual health before looking at the eclipse, some think its death attributable to taking the view.

It is the universal opinion among right thinking men in the southern part of the State that the law postponing the elections, passed by the legislature, is & unsurpation ‘of the most dangerous character, ‘and that it should be ignored and elections held in every county as authorized by the constitution of the State. It is clear that if the ‘radieal legislature can postpone the elections two years, it can extend the time to fifty, and thus perpetuate the power of the radical party.— Huntington. Democrat. . 1

The turtle jaws closed upon the tail of the unbappy cur likea vise, and the dog with one savage yell of rage and pain turned a circle and ‘then went for- the seat of the trogmers of the turtle man, penetrating deep beneath.
