YEEKLY SENTINEL.

MONDAY, - - --OCT.. 5. iaalker Draft Orderea-ltesult mi the Flrtt CHcriptln. "The telegraph announces that another draft is tob ordered. The first conscription, to far. as men U concerned; proved a failure. ) Three hundred thousand men were ordered, but the draft doe not. produce, overfifty, thousand. soldiers. Th government, however, receives about seventy fire million of dollars for exemption.' 'In a financial point of view the first conscription ha pro red a success. The new conscription) it is announced, will be for six hundred thousand Dec. .The government officials calculate- that this call will jield one third, or two hundred thousand soldiers. If so, four hundred thousand conscript will hare to pa the exemption, which will yield to the government a revenue of one' hundred and twenty millions of dollars. Is it the object of the government officials to raise men or money t . . ,'. . The "Boston Advertiser, in expressin its regret at the fill are of the first conscription to supply men to the armies, puts the blame of the failure not upon the imperfections of the law, or the inefficiency of the officers of the Government, but upon the unfortunate copperheads. It seems, according to the Advertiser's theorythat the clamors of these people have helped to swell the list of exemptions and have thwarted" the efforts of the War Departmnnt to obtain men.' If this is so, Massachusetts must fairly swarm with copperheads, for no State baa contributed so few men as the Old Bay State in proportion to the Dumber of its inhabitants. ' Twenty four hundred men are reported to be all the recruits raised in that Sute. On the other hand, in New Jersey, where "copperheads' are in a large majority, over five thousand men have been raised, but it has been by volunteering. - . It is clear the Advertiser's theory won't hold water. The draft has failed even more completely in Administration localities than in "copperhead" districts, so the trouble must be with the law itself. Its machinery must be defective, or else it ts not suited to tbe genius of our people. Let us uke the case of Rhode Island, for in-, stance. This is a strong Administration State, and being tbe first one in which the draft was enforced, tbe adverse criticism upon the law, of which the Advertiser complains, could sot have bad any effect. Well, what was the result of the draft in that State? Tbe whole number drafted was 4,320. Of these only 105 were held for service as drafted tneD.ind S7S procured substitutes. Rhode Island will, therefore,' supply barely one regiment to the army under the draft, and of that regiment only about a company will be conscripts, all the rest being volunteer substitutes. ' ; If the proportion of Rhode Island holds good all over the North the securing of one man in four and a half drawn not much more than one hundred thousand men will be secured of the four hundred and fifty thousand it was originally intended to draw from tbe whole North. But tbe original programme has been , departed from. . There is to be no draft in either Ohio, Indiana or Illinois, while the proportion of men secured is far greater In Rhode Island than in some of the other States, as for instance Massachusetts, where about one in eight is the proportion. . We doubtj therefore, whether the Government will" really secure more than 50,000 reliable men under the operations of the draft. , We doubt if the -ity of New -York will contribute 3,000 men; that is to say. about one in six drawn.' We conclude, therefore, that the draft will supply something over 50,000 men for our armies, of which full 40.000 will be volunteer substitutes. tST" Charles F. Powell, of company B. 5th Wisconsin, has been appointed a cadet in West Point, to fill a vacancy frtn the 3d South CanUna District. The above item is worthy of consideration, Tbe idea is put forth by the radical Republicans that the States in rebellion have lost all their rights and that they should be reduced to or regarded as in a territorial condition. If the Administration accept this doctrine in theory practically the President acd bis constitutional advif era regard all seceded or rebel States as still integral members of the Union. A few days ago it was announced semi officially that the President and Secretary of War were engaged in miking tbe appointments of cadets to West Point which 'the rebel States were' entitled to. At the head of this column we record the appointmeut of a cadet to fill a vacancy from the third South Carolin district. Does not ' this act of the President recognize South Carolina as yet one of the States of the Union, and entitled to all the rights and privileges of a sov-, ereign State? Can we arrive at any other con elusion when we take into consideration the acts of the administration? We have a right there-, fore, to say that Mr. Lixcolx and the members of his Cabinet are unwilling to become parties to the treasonable and revolutionary doctrines of Scxxee & Co. ttttle ! Chlckamaufa-Casualties la tbe loth Indiana. Lieut. Hawkius of company D, 10th Indiana, has returned bome and reports that after the fall of Col. Carroll, Lieut. Col. Mtrsb B. Taylor, of Lafayette, assumed the command of the regi. ment, and behaved with remarkable bravery handling the regiment with great skill and sue-; cejs. Be is represented . as having charged a ' rebel battery with great determination. The same authority states that the members of the regiment are unanimous in their praise of bis conduct. L'eut.

STATE ITE31S.

We regret to learn that Capt Palm it Des 5, of Logansport, was killed in the the recent battles at Chickamauga, Georgia. Col David M. Deux writes that he was killed in the Saturday's battle by a Minnie ball striking him m the nVk, causing instant death. Col. Duns mtde an ef fort to bring off his body, but such was the rapid pressure of the rebels that he was forced to abandon the body and everything else or fall themselves into the band of the rebels.--r. We understand thst General Lkw. Wallack is named as one of the speakers at the series of the so-called Union meetings announced by tbe abo lilion organs to be held at different places in the State.- Gen. -Wallack has not filled these appointments to address political gatherings. We presume he does not regard it bis dufy to do so. While he holds the office of Major General in the army of the United -States, bis. services are due to the whole country, not to a political party. As a gallant soldier should be, he Is ready and anxious to take tbe field against the enemies of tbe Republic, and we uke it for granted that he does not feel it incumbent upon him to obey the behests of the committees of partisan organizations '.or. report .to Governor Tatfs or Governor D. Tod. Indiana has been foremost of all the loyal States in furnishing soldiers for the war. Only one Major General has been appointed from this State, and it is certainly due to her that be should be placed in a position that Indiana is eminently entitled to in consideration of her prompt and full response to every call that has been made upon her-bv the Federal authori . ties for men and money to suppress the rebellion. The honor won by the sacrifices and bravery of the gallaot sons of Indiana should not be monopolized by scheming demagogues for personal aggrandizement, and we hope no such influences are operating to prevent General ' Wallack receiving that consideration which is due not only to the high position be occupies, but tbe State he represents. : - Cosvictid. Calvix Bixch, who has been on trial in tbe Randolph Circuit Court on the charge of murdering bis wife, was convicted and sentenced to State prison for life. Blackbcb. known' as tbe Jay county burg lar, was convicted at the Jay Circuit' Court of that crime, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000, serve seven years in the penitentiary, and disfranchised for fifteen years. Blackbckx hat broken jail frequently. Four times he escaped from tbe Randolph county jail, regarded as one of the be?t and most secure in the State, and twice from the Jay county. The Warden ol the State prison will hare to keep a sharp lookout for him. Okaxgk Cot ntt Old Lixk Dkmocbatic Cosvextiox. The Old Line Democracy of Orange county assembled in convention at Paoli on the 2Gth of September. Oo motion the fol lowing ' nominations were made by acclamation. For Treasurer. S. B. Buskirk, of Orange ville township; for Sheriff, Wm. Charles, of French Lick township; for Recorder, Reuben Cox, of Jackson township; for Land Appraiser, Harrison Pitimao. of Greenfield towonhip.. The contention declined" miking any nomina: tiona for Clerk, Surveyor and Coroner. The Committee on Resolutions reported the following resolutions, which were adopted by acclamation and great applause: Resolved, 1. That we indorse the resolutions of tbe Democratic State Conventions 2. That we indorse the . noble stand taken in the old Democratic counties of Floyd and Harrison, in behalf of sound Democratic principles, and against secret political societies. Tbe following is the Harrison county resolution: "Resolved, , That all secret political organiza tions, however good the motives of their members may be, or whateuer object they have in view, are wrong and anti Democratic, and calculated to disturb the peace and good order of so ciety, and therefore should not be encouraged. Experience has taught the lesson in every age and country that such organizations are soon controlled by bad, ambitious men, to accomplish their own selfish and wicked purposes, and have never been productive of any pnblic goed." The following is the Floyd county resolution: "Reiolttd, That oil secret political organizations, however pure and patriotic the motives of their members may have been in their incep tion, are ultimately dangerous to free institutions, and ought not to be encouraged, because they become with such fearful facility the instruments of ambitious or bad men to accomplish their selfish purposes without the light of day to check tbe use of unlawful means." 3. That the duty of every citizen is to sustain the National Government, ever mindful th.it the administration of the Government is transitory the Government itself is permanent, and was' in tended by our forefathers to endure forever. We adopt, as expressing at once our duty and deter ruination, the language of Andrew Jackaon, and declare that the "Federal Government must and shall be sustained " 5 4 That we are opposed to the radical policy of the Administration and all unconstitutional acta, either by Congress or the President; but both having a legal existence according to the forms of law, we are willing, as law-loving citizens, to abide tbe decision, and make our ficht against abolitionism and secession, inside of the forms of the Constitution, believing that the peace, harmony and the safety of this country and the union of tbe States depend upon destroy ng both factions, as they are twin sisters, working together for the destruction of the Govern menL It becomes our duty, as patriotic, citizens, to unite in one common effort, and use all constitutional means to correct both evils. 5. That freedom of speech and of tbe press are sacred rights, expressly guarantied by the Constitutionessential to free government and civil liberty. These rights we will maintain and exercise at all hazards. 6. That all secret political organizations, bowever pure tbe motives of the citizens who have been induced to join them, are anti Democratic and dangerous to free institutions, and used by designing men lor selfish purposes, and have been instrumental in the overthrow of republican governments in all ages of the world. 7. That we hold it the right and highest duty of every citizen to canvass and criticise, condemn, or spprove, according to his judgment, the acts of our public servants; and the neglect to exercise such right, in tbe spirit ot patriotism, is at once to consent to the establishment of despotIsm.: i . 8. That the free and independent exercise of the elective franchise, is indispensable for the ex' istence of popular governments; and any attempt to prevent such . exercise of it. is a blow at tbe very foundation of our political institutions. 9. That we desire peace on such terms as would be consistent with the honor of our nation, aod secure a permanent union of tbe States. 10. That tbe soldiers fighting in the armies of our country shall receive our warmest sympathies, and our best efforts to sustain and protect their honors and tbe glory of the flag which they bear. An apology is due Major General Minor. We tated yesterday, inadvertently, that General Lkw. Wallack was tbe oniy Major General that bad been appointed from Indiana. It escaped our recollection, at the time, that the "hero of Winchester" occupied that eminent position. . We may add, in this connection, it is rumored that Brigadier General CakaiaoTo, who reports to His Excellency Governor Mokton , is to be elevsted to the Major Generalship on account of his laborious and distinguished services in organizing the Home Guards and "Union Leagues." Folitical (not military) necessities require this tribute to tbe gallant Brigadier, and if he gets another we have no doubt be will carry two on his shoulders with the same grace and dignity he does one. A grateful country shonld not for get the honors due ber sons who have unselfishly sacrificed themselves for its welfare and glory.. . GzoaeiA Tbe candidate for Governor of Georgia are Joseph E. Brown, the present Executive, and Hon. Joshua Hill. . Mr. Hill is supposed to have a desire for reconstruction. He was a member of Congress when the Georgia se ecessioo ordinance was carried, and refused to withdraw from the House of Representatives when the other members of the delegation went out. He subsequently, however, formally re signed his seat. Tbe election takes place on tbe first Mond in Ostober.

; From the Cincinnati Price Current, Srpv. SO. , financial and Canimtrclal Summary fer tbe laat IVeelc Gold has fluctuated considerably during the past week, and at the close was advancing quite

rapidly, closing at 43 premium in New York yesterday at noon. The indications are conclusive that a large rebel force is concentrating in donnern ueorgia, to attaca me Arm v oi tne Cumberland under Gen. Rosecrans. end there being some plausible ground for doubt that the Union army en te suRk-ientiy reinforced to meet the rebels successfully, gives tbe speculators in gold for a ri.e,re!i b!e fulcrum upon which to re-t tbe lever to elevate prices, and hence tbe rise iu gold Government securities are firm at very full prices, which indicates no want of con. fidence in the ultimate result. . . , . Our money market remains unchanged and easy, with but a limited demand at 6 to 9 per cent.' The demand lor exchange has been active all the week, wholly in excess of the supply made from produce bills aud the con version of Government securities, and currency has been largely u-ed to keep up balances. Government securities have been offered sparingly, but orders on Washington are hardly as high . as they were, a week aso. owing to the tact that now all orders for $ 1 ,0K) and under are paid in cash, and all over this amount but half cash and half in one year certificates. The decline is very slight, however, as the difference is butsraalL Tbe quotations for exchange, coin aod other funds at tbe close were: UTIXO. SELLI50, XewTvrk... ............ par. .

The weather has been cool and dry, and about of that character peculiar to this season of the Tear. The markets have been a good deal agitated during the week, owing to the advancing tendency of gold and tbe increasing alarm regarding the injury done to corn by the frosts, and this being the great ta pie crop of the country, its failure affects directly or indirectly, numerous departments of trade and manufactures, and therefore its failure in whole or even in part, would be a calamity of great magnitude. An impression is now gaining ground, we notice, that the yield of the corn crop plauted las spring will not be over one-iourth an average, and consequently firmer are holding back their old corn and refuse to sell it at any price, in various sections of the country, and speculators are at work buying for future delivery, at famine prices. There can be no doubt in the mind of any one possessing even a superficial, knowledge of agriculture, that, even had tbeiebeen no frost in August, there could not h ive been a full average crop of corn, be ctuse, aside, from the frost, the temperature ofJuly and August was too low for corn; aud the crop would have been below an average, had there been no frostr- The frost did serious injury and materiallv shortened the crop in the West, north of the Ohio river. Taking all the inform ation which has reached us, into consideration, we think we may salely say that the crop is fully one third below an average, that is, below the crop gathered last year, and the quantity very inferior iu large districts. But we hold that the failure is not exteusive enough to justify present price. The great drouth of the summer of 54 will be well remembeie l. wheu no rain wortliv of note fell from .May till October, and when the corn crop was not over oue quarter to one half an average crop, yet the price did not rule us high then an it does now. The mn-e of price during ihe following winter and summer was 57. to 78, and the average for the whole season was 67c , and yet flour sokl, durin that eson. for an average of eiht dollars a barrel.. That the existing circumstnni-es do not jus'-ify the present rate- tor corn, mupt be plain to any one h iving the facts stated before them. Then the West supplied the South with corn, to a great extent, but now the South has more corn than the West The crops in Tennesse, Mississippi and Alabama, in quality exceeds anything ever know, and, MS reg rds the quantity planted, embrace the greater proportion o I the laud previously planted in cotton. Now, the crops in Europe are unusuallv abundant; and the present prices if corn, or indeed anything near them, will totally prohibit Its exportation to Eneland, leaving the whole crop for home use. Should pork rule at a price to justify farmers to feed corn at present prices to hogs, it will preclude the possibility of its being exported; and so of lard and lard oil, ani candles, and the result would be a home market glutted next snring with an immense amount of domestic produce which should have been sent to other countries That this unnatut'al state of things cannot exist, however, must be obviou to all, and hence the danger of operating at the present unnatural prices for corn. The failure of the hay crop, as reported by ou r correspondents, is a serious matter, for it is not over one half a crop as compared with that of last year, and th's has a marked influence on the Erice of oaLs, and is no doubt the cause of prices aving advanced so rapidly; but the oat crop is a good one. and a large breadth of lsnd was sown with them last spring, so that it will be found . that prices are too high now. The Government demand Is the only one that exists for hay and oats, aside from the usual bome demand, and should this cease or be materially diminished, . the prices would largely decline. Before the re bellion. both h ty and oats were shipped largely to the South, but no such market exists for them now. Corn advanced to 90c, oats to 70c, rye to 95c, fiourfrom 25;to 50c, aed unsettled. Whisky ad vanced to 52c, hay to $30 per tun, cheese JgC p?r pound, butter 5c, linseed oil 10c, and there were more buyers than sellers at the advances. In . fact an impression seems to have taken possession ot the agricultural community that there is a great scarcity, and that famine prices must and will prevail, and hence all articles are offered with reluctance, and in many cases grain and other articles are not offered at all. Groceries are very firm, and sugar higher. The stock of this article ia light in this and all the leading markets, and the consumption much larger than was expected, so that it is expected that the supplv will Drove short, and an absolute scarcity prevail before supplies can be brought forward. In the provision market there is increased firm ness, but tbe demand, aside from that taken by the Government, has been but moderate. Old citv mess pork ad vn need to $10 50, and about 500 brls. sold at $10 75, but this was above the market, tbougb it is generally beld at this rate. New is not in the market at less than $14 25 to $14 50, being the prices which are obtained from . the Government. Bulk meat and bacon are held more firmly, and are from to 5tfc higher for all kinds. Lard was beld at 10c. with buyers at 9e. up to the clo-e of 'change yesterday, but the news' from New York was not then known. Under its effects prices will he held to-day at K't to lie There is great difficulty in forming any estimate of the future, at this moment, and everything will remain in thia uncertaintv until the pending' fight in Geort'ia is decided. Rumors were circuUted In New York yesterday that Rosecrans had surrendered, and that wholly unexpected movements ol the armies in Virginia had taken place, which excited the gold market, aud put rates up four per cent. Political Tlovements. r W are informed by a gentleman who has just returned from a visit to tbe Federal capital, that it is tbe settled purpose of the leaders of the Administration party to noroiu ue Mr. Lincoln for re election to the Presidency, as the Republican' candidate in 1864. This determination was expressed with a positivenesa that leaves no room to doubt that he is regarded as the most available candidate for that position ih the Republican ' ranks. Mr. Liscolr ia the representative of the principles aud policy of the Republican party, and most faithfully has he reflected the sentiments and purposes of his . political' friends in his administration of the government. . It is probable that Mr.' Li sco lh is tbe most available candidate in the -Republican ranks for the succession. He wields en Immense power which will be made available in the e ction of the next 1'resident, and it ia -not improbable that he would be averse to ex-.. ert that influence in hs own behalf. When the most prominent and influential Republicans look upon the renomination of Mr. Lincoln as a foregone conclusion, the dullest comprehension oan not fail to foresee and appreciate the agencies that will be employed to secure his soccess! The remains of Col. W B. CataoLL, of the . 10th Indiana, who was killed at the battle of -Chickamauga, were buried with I musing cere- ' moaiet at lAfayettetoa Tuesday last , ,

Chattanooga., Tens, Sept. 23. 4 Editok 8xtikkl: -Enclosed vou will find a list of the casualties, resulting from the great battle just -passed, between the armies of Gens. nosecraus ana Bragg, iu tne nicaamauga valley, about 18 miles routhwest ef this place, on of the 19th, 2)th and 21st inst. j i - 1 lie general plao of this battle cannot te given for fear of iuaccuracy, but that which is impott aut .and of great interest to all. Indianans is to know who was killed and wounded. Up to this time tbe list furnished is perfectly accurrate, but unfortunately it only embraces one ol our regiment. The other Surgeons have not, as yet, from the press of duty been able to furnish lists their casualties. " Major J. P. Collins, of the 29th, is missing. It is thought he is a prisoner in the bands of the rebels Major Fitzgerald, of the 3Utb is also missing. . - . ' . The Second brigade of Johnston's division, which includes tbe 29 ih and 30th Indiana regi ments, went into tbe fiht about 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 19th, and from their impetuous charges, upon the enemy, batteries and dense columns with bayonet and ball, they drove tbe rebels before them like sheep. In the first charge made, Capt. Dunn and Lieut, J. Cutter fell at the head of their respective companies, gallantly cheering on their men Capt. Dunn died as the men were removing him. - Lieut. Cutter fell dead upon the spot. The bravery of these two gallant regiments have added freh laurels to the men composing them, and great credit to the Stte. ? The rebel lines were very full and strong; their position was chosen bv themselves, and, ol course, it was selected with a view to military advantage. The fight - continued favorable to our men until about dak. when the rebels poured out of. the woods in dense masses, and literally crowded our boys back to the ground from which they commenced the attack, when tbe fight ceased for the night. The wounded were all carried from the field except a few who fell into the rebel lines - . . Early on the morning of the 20th, the fight was renewed upon the left of our division, where the rebels had massed tbeir forces. A part of Davis line gave way and the rebels drove our men back under a most deadlv fire which no troops could withstand The division hospital fell into their hands, but not until we had removed all our wounded but about 25. When it was noticed by the Surgeons that our lines had commenced falling back, all the wounded that coul l walk were started on tbe road for Chattanooga,, others were Cirried en stretchers and the worat cases were (ut in the few remaining ambulances. The enemy threw a number of shot and shell into the hospital, by which some cases - were eeriously wounded and one killed. Our men gained m part of tbe ground again, and most or the Surgeons and the re mainder of the men were released and escaped Our army then fell back in good order about eikht miles, toward Chattanooga, until they took another position, but finding it unsafe they re treated after night into this place, where we now are, undergoing the very ticklish operation of a siege The rebels have followed closely, and are determined to keep us on the move. They are now plan'ing batteries in front of us and ex tending their lines above the town to the river. If thev succeed in obtaining a foothold on the north side this army will be severely handled. -1 have just learned that the 39th Indiana and the 13th Ohio were driven from Missionary Hill, east of the town, and from Shell Ford lust night, which will bring the rebels uncomfortably close to our rear. Our cavalry have all crossed the river, as thev are of no ue to us except to keep open communication between here and Bridgeport. Our infantry and artil ery are fright fully reduced No great amount of ramunition or supplies has vet been captured, but nearly all has been . expended in battle, ' and whether we maintain thia army three days further remains to be seen, and depends altogether upon the ferocity or mildness of the rebel attack. The 29th Indiana has 9(1 men 'wounded, 11 killed anil C9 missing. Therefiiment has now 115 men for duty. Col D M Dunn is safe, and still in command, but the only field officer left His gallant betrink throughout the terrible fiht ing has not been surpassed by an v. The 3(tth Indiana has lost 63 men wounded and 9 killed. Col Herd still maintains his po si tion with honor at the head of his regiment.

Laughter 15 rough carries his sniigy about Ohio so as to have tbe benefit of bis tile long democracv. They each dress in the livery of hetven to serve the devil in Laughter. At Newtown they were toset her, and the Cincinnati Commercial thus reports Brougb and Tod; "I hail with joy this vast assemblage to day, separate and apart from self. As I have before said. I would much rather that some one e'se, that that gallant old mm who has Tor two years stood by you, thst noble, good man Tod 1 were your standard-bearer ot w." . , ' It must have been , an enormous assemblage, whi h was vast separate and apart from Brough's big body. Laughter How lovingly he speaks of "old T!;" he seems fond of " his Toddy. (Laughter. A fur he bad used the nocturnal eagues to dirk Tod under the fifth rib, be glorifies the "old man." Laughter. This corpulent candidate plays the hypocrite with consummite tact. He smothers him with honey to draw the wsspo on his poor old body. Wheu Rrough Fpoke here, he taid bis respects to me at length or rather with all bisbredth. Herharged that Pugh and mvsell were old Whigs ami little tries; that we had been for, and were now against the war; that I bad obtained my post in Congress last year by false pretenses pretend . ing to be fir the war when I was not, &c. Now, the idea of Jack Brough calling George Puih or myself little! Laughter He must have forgot'en himself. What was he about? As some one said to Falstaft. be was about two yards in the waist, and surely such a person ought not to have inter Urded uch personalities in his speech. It is a great temptation .to an ardent young sneaker, lilr myself, to retort! When I herd of his speech, I resolved on the first opportunity to "bore for oil " Laughter. I do not understand why Jack Brough hould take such liberties with my person. I don't think he ever saw me I have not the honor of knowing him I never saw him but once, and that was at a distance; and he can be seen with or without a glassatagreat distance Yetthismoun tain of mummy, swelled to unusual importance by anatoliiio nomination, presumes to question my size and mv demcracyl Laughter. He forgot that I sm the Representative of a large number of very large people. Laughter. There is no constitutional limit to a man's size in running for Congress or Governor. A man may. have much blubber without brains, and much meat without manhood laugbterj and be a Governor. So a man may be elected to Congress whose fe mur and tibia are several inches short of the average human leg laughter; nor is -it any disqualification for office in this country that a man has an extraordinary protuberance of md poe tit tnnrt beneath the abdominal muscles. Great laughter If I am obnoxious to criticism for my undergrown size, let Jack Brough look to his overgrown oleaginous tissues, and be careful of hi tissue of falsehoods and of his personal globes. Why should he call glorious, true and noble George Pugh little? In intellect, John Brough ia to George Pugh as a tallow candle to the sun. Laughter The Republican party .desirous of making ever memorable this campaign of 1863. have setup this inordinate incarnation of swelling vanity, to withdraw the attention of the people from the real iMie ot tbe ramrmien, to the curious sport of nature, which has thrown such a behemoth in to our politics. Laughter But Shakspeare has anticipated the aport. In glancing over the world of mind and matter, he rested the fame of his comic genius on the creation of Sir Jack Fal taff. Rolling into one lumpih. oleaginous mas, his whole soul of fun Falstaff, the fat knight, was the result There is a great similarity between Jack Falstaff and Jack BroUgh. Falstaff is rematkable lor six points; his lechery, his Iving. his cowardice, hi carcass und his wit. Ltughter I do not know whether John Brough can bast of all these attributes. He has, I am-sure, the Iving, cowardice and carcass, without a snarkle of his wit or a crinkle of his drollery. Laughter I cannot speak as to his lust -nd roguery; indeed, if any one should charge the former upon him. I would befriend him. bv the same irrefragible logic which Sir Jack used to Prince Hal: "In a State of innocenoy Adam fell, and what should poor Jack. Brough do in the days of villainvt Thou see'st I have more flesh than another man. and therefore more frailty." Lmgiiter If, therefore, so carnal a nature 8 Brough's should sin, there is much to be raid in ezienuttio,, and an over ptwerng argument against his final punishment. Sir Jack found it when he said. "That the devil will never have me damned, lest the nil that's in me should sot hell on fire " Laushter When he le't Cincinniti ami the law, he took choree of the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad as President and Superintendent The road had some remarkable vicissitudes. It once declared twelve and a half per cent, dividend. The stock was disposed of at an advance, and afterward it went to .mash. I do not know who plai e I these tricks "ol the road " But his I say, that so far as Brough Is concerned, all the tie that has hound him to Ohio the past twenty years has been a railroad tie laughter; and I fear not a sound tie either Laughter He bad in vain tried to explain away his lull fare to soldiers. 0;her rail . road Presidents have given kinder treatment to the soldiers; but Brough alone enjoys the distinction of heartlessnoss iu his own and the railroad corporation. , As to his lvin I have no hesitation in giving the palm to the knight of abolition over the knight of Sh'k-peare. He falsified the truth, when he charged me with being both whig and tory. He maliciously lied when be said that I obtained mv eit in Congress by fraudulent and false pretenes. Falstaff never fabricated so grossly and meanly, I have obtained success in this district in spite o' abolition gerrymander and tiegro votes in Xenia; both frauds. I have obtained sutcea-, because I have been faithful to the Constitution and to the interests of my constituent-. Cheers' When this war appeared as a speck on the horizon, I plead and voted for ronciliatior . 1 vote I for every compromise, including ihtt of Crittenden, which Brough spurns. I preferred the bonds of Love to the armor of Force I read the sermon on the mount, and found in it a wisdom beyond that of Lincoln, or -even of the wiets ol Chicago. I never went so far as Ch irles Sn inner, in his speech on the "True Grindenr of Iftion." when he pro nounced "all international war to be civil war. and the partaker in it to be traitors to G l and etiemie to tu rn." - When he quoted Cicero, to show that he "preferred the unjust est peace to the justest war," and Franklin, to show that there never was good war or a bad pea--e;".or. when Sumner declared, "th it in our age thare can be no peace that is not dishonorable." Sumner's works, vol.1. page 11. But I did and do hold that In our land it was wisest, kindest and best to agree to any compromise which Crittenden framed. Douglas advo--cated, and to which Davis and Toombs acceeded, which would have averted these horrible calami ties. In thus believing. I sought to carry out the Democratic principle which Madison laid down before the late war of 1812 "that war was only and r-irely tolerable as a necessary evil, to be kept off as long, and whenever it takes place, tor be closed as soon as possible " When this civil war began. I voted for the Crittenden Resolution of July 22, 1 86 1 . that it was not to be waged In any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, or for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions ol those States, but to de fend and maintain the supremacy ef the Constitution and to preserve the Union with all tbe dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired. I voted the money and men in the spirit of Lincoln's inaugural of March 4, lb6l, when he declared he bad "no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the State where it exists; I have no lawful right to do so, aud I have no iuteutiou to' do so." Tt was in this spirit that, on the 16th of July,' 1861, 1 offered a resolution iu Congress to make undiminished and increased exertioas by our' navy and army to maintain the government, and that a commission be be appointed, consisting of Millard Fillmore and others, to meet com mis ; sinners, not from the rebel government, but from the seceding States, to aid in restoring by peace-' ful and honorable measures tbe old Union and former condition of things. This was and is my position to-day. ' It is the position of Horatio Seymour, who, while reidy to aid oor arm es, as' he did when Pennsylvania was overrun, is ever' ready to accompmy the sword with the olivebranch. This waa Lincoln's idea that, after all our ' fighting, some adjustment was necessary. This was understood to be my position last year; for I defended my resolution when it was pressed againt me by the opposition. I have not swerved a hair from .it. I am as ready now to cancel confiscation and emancipation policies, and welcome Louisiana and North Carolina . back to their old position as I am to sustain our army iu the field while a rebel army contests our' authority on a foot of our soil. John Brough Simply lies, when he charges me with fraud atd

fal-e pretenses last fall. I am now as then opposed to any conduct of this war which U revolutionary, sul jugatiug or exterminating; and all negro policies, according to Lincoln's InsuguYal, are unconstitutional, and all unconstitutional acts are revolutionary. I want no revolutionary war over the corpse of the Constitution cheers; for such a war ill not restore, bt.t forever destroy the Union. " " When this mass of lubricity laughter charges tne with fraud before this people, let bim bring some testimony beside his own, or some credentials from the people Ue has held but one office of trust, snd that was not from the people.

He found more "bread and butter" in railroading.

In.lP56 he did not vote at all. Here is what be aays in his Cincinnati speech of July 27: 'I did not vote for John C- Fremont, but, at the same time. I confess no, I glory in it I did, not vote for Jimmy Buchanan. Applause I did not vote st all at that Presidential election. I could not give my suffrage to the candidate of the Democratic party, and I would not give it to any -other- If that was a sin of omission or commission on my part. I plead guilty. It reo dered my standing doubtful " Ohl it rendered hi Democratic standing doubtful Well, when in 1860 he did rot vote for either Lincoln or Douglas, all doubts on that point were certainly removed. I daughter j He says thst he bad a fit of illness then. In this very crisis of our national fate, this "life long Democrat" failed to do his part to tbe country against tbe very rise and success of sectionalism. Then he fell from bis Democracy, and what a fall was there!- "Great was the fall there of." A Jackson Democrat a "life long Demo erat" omitting for eigbt years to vote against a partv, whose course he bad agreed, by his Dem ocratic platforms for sixteen years, would embroil the States, and produce civil war! Why a genu ine Democrat, in the agonv of dissolution, would have been hauled to the polls in his coffin, and would have voted before he gave up the ghost.- I Laughter. 1 But truth creeps unawares upon even cunning; for Brough le's out tbe truth in his Cleveland speech, in which he said: "For many rears, you are aware. I have beld ideas of a conservative character on this slavery question. I have changed my views. I now see the impossibility of permanent success in onr re pnblic so long as anv portion of it is afflicted with the leprous disease. Either slavery must be torn out root and branch or our Government will no longer exist." See Ohio State Journal, June 3D. IBb3. Changed his views! From what to what? From Democracy to Abolition, f Cheers What was the olii Iemocrtic platform T Oo hack to 1840, and run up to lb56, and you will see what this on'y changl'.tg favored as his news of sixteen vears. I have to dav read lhee doctrines In brief, he held that it was dangerous Tor the Federal Government to exercise doubtful consti tutional powers; be demanded equality of rights in tir'fTaitd tax. economy in the expenditures of the Government; the extinction of public debts; no national bank; no concentrated money power: the sub-treasury and specie system; no abridgeof privileges o foreigners; no alien law; no se dition law, that is, no law to punish men for speaking ill of tbe Executive; that the Monroe doctrine shall be maintained as onr continental policy; and. as to domestic slavery no inter fer ence with it by Congress; that all efforts of abo litionists or others, thus to interfere or take in cipient steps in relation thereto would lead to the most alarming consequences; that Democracy ever resist the slavery agitation, and repudiate all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slaverv. which seek to embroil the States, and which, if consumated, must end in civil war and disunion! Thee were the Democratic doctrines while John Brough was a Democrat. These are the views he has changed! They are our doctrines yet Well might he say that his conservative views have changed; for he joins now with Wen dell Phillips in crying out: "Never stop the war; pour out the last drop of blood; pay out the last dollar of money; hold high carnival in human gore and human wealth; until four millions of African foundlings are cured of the leprous disease of slavery." Tear it out. root and branch. though the roots are interwoven with our social order and politicil system; though the branches overshadow a million homes: tear it out, for what are conservative views about white liberlv and happiness, while these millions of blacks are white wph this leprosv. But this "life long Democrat" is welcome to add his weight to abolition, but be has no right with bis plentiful lack of wit snd veracity, to go wheenng and puffing over Ohio against Demo crats who have remained faithful to the verv principles he boasts of once upholding. Even while vaunting of being a Democrat duriag this period when compromise ruled in the counsels of our partv, he casts, in his Chillicothe speech, this poisoned. Parthian arrow at bis old comrades If it be true, the barb will stick in his own flesh as well: "They called the election of Mr. Lincoln a sectional election. . Well, so far as that goes, I don't remember, on the whole, of there ever be ing an election that was not sectional in its character, for while the old Democratic party acted with them, they alwavs demanded and got a Southern man for President, or made us give bonds that he would become a good Southern man." If this contemptible subserviency of the Democracv to the South be true, then John Brough ought not to boast of having been a life long Democratic ' sycophant to Southern men, by be ing in a party so mean as to purchase peace and Union for so many years at the price of their manhood. But it is not true The Democracy maintained the Constitution, and all rights Southern and Northern under it; and this is the patriotic virtue which makes our party to day so peerless and proud, that its opponents strive to steal its potent name to hide their own graceless and sedicious sectionalism. - j But what tittle has John Brough to tbe name of Democrat now ? Let me test him by the platforms of the party from 1840 to 1856, whila he was a - member in good standing Does he deny the exercise of doubtful powers to the President now? No; but he justifies them, and even clamors for extra constitutional powers. Does he deny the right to over-tax, and by tariff to feed and fill New England, and at the expense of Ohio and the West? Ho; he would gorge New England with jobs as fat ss himself laughter, to enable her Abolitionists to buy out of the conscription. Does he favor economy? Where was there such unexampled looseness and rascality ss that which prevails uow in our expenditures? Does he disfavor public debts, snd a national bank, and a moneyed power, and a paper currency? What a satire is the present fiscal policv,vwith its greenbacks and great banks, on his lifelong Jackson Democracy I Does he welcome foreigners, or oppose alien laws? Read his slander upon the Iri.di race at Portsmouth. Cheers. Does he denounce the sedition laws? He cringes with all his big body and little sonl at the foot-stool of Federal power, and cries: "Well done, oh! Abraham; imprison and exile the young Democrats of Ohio those who would bring your High Mightiness into disrepute." Does be defend the continental Monroe doctrine? Oh! yes-bv co operating with an imbecile administration, which allows a French army to place an Austrian Prince on a throne built on the ruins of the Mexican Republic! Cheers As to slavery, what is bis pres ent position? On the 10th of June last, at Marietta, he thus stated U: ' It is said the Crittenden resolution might bring it about. The resolution was rffered to them before they fired upon Sumter, and not a man was ready to take it, and the North would have been very sorry if they had accepted It; I for one spurn the Crittenden resolution, and I do it for the reason that the first gun 6red upon Sum ter relieved us from the thraldom of slavery, and I never deire to see peace restored with the political power of this institution reinstated." - That Is democratic, is it? That is non intervention? What political power has slavery? By the Constitution it has the three fifths basis of representation He would destroy that, would be? How? By freeing the slaves and making every slave count one, lustead o ' three fifths of one in the ratio?" Thus he would add about twenty members of Congress to the South, and, by his absurd violation of the Constitution, increase the negro power of the South in Congress.

What a Democrat! No wonder he did not vote for Douglas iu 1-G3. I bare no doubt Le carried lard oil, like a "Wide-awake" then, as be carries lard oil now. Laughter Yet this is tbe man who propels bis "thick rotundity" over Ohio, abusing old Whigs, denouncing young Democrats and little Democrat, working ae of old. for his

"bread and butter," (laughter and striving to "make the heart of the people fat," so that they will accept his pulpy paunch as the embodiment of Democracy. Great laughter hat a shameless spectacle does be present. We pity the Tailing Falstaff, when reproached by the King; but no emotion, but that of mirth min gled with' contempt arises in our mind as we perceive this gross harlequin dancing over our State on the political slack wire, with the nimbleness of Blond in snd the ponderosity of Daniel Lambert, laughter, holding in his hands a bal anring pole, black atone end with abolition, and white at the other with his life long Democracv. Laughter If he tumbles from the wire, who ill pity him? "For Greece a blush but not for Greece a tear." Laughter He shall pot and cannot hide his political putrescence behind bis Democratic antecedents. That name will Uke away much reproach; but it will not cover such a mountain ol hypocrisy. A "life long Democrat," indent It reminds one of the first verse of the fourth chapter ol Isaiah: "And on that day seven women shall take bold of one man, saying we will eat our own bread and rear our own apparel. only let us be called by thy nsme to Uke away our reproacn. I have thus shown the resemblance between FalsUff and Brough in many particulars. As to his cowardice, do vou remember how valiantly the fat knight led bis tatterdemalions into battle, and how he thrust the departed Hotspur through and through. The simile is like, with a difference. ' Brough never ventured into the battle, either on horse or foot But he talks as bravely as Falstaff. and does as little execution. Hotspur was dead; Vallandigham, though absent, is a living terror to his revilers. He is not present, by his vehement eloquence, to answer his slanderers; and this fat knight of the corps d'Afrique can, with impunity, plunge his weapon all through and through the reputation of the forced exile. This isbraveryl Förtha me! The age of chivalry is indeed gone when plump pusilanimity can thus rifle the reputation of the absent, and expect the rewards of soldiery suffrage for the deed. But our candidate will someday appear. Cheers j "The mills of God grind slowly, but they, grind exceedingly strong " When he comes, let oer political Falstaff look ont for "thaw and dissolution, and take the advice given to bis antotype, to make less his body, and more his grace; know that the grave doth gape for him thrice wider than for other men. Then let his Republican friends prepare the obituary Uken from Byron's "Giaour," already suggested by an editorial friend: - Tis grease, but living grease no more." Where the Kesponaibillty! The telegraph reports that the Army of the Cumberland met with a reverse at tbe battles of Chickamauga. ' Private accounts sUte that the conflict resulted in a serious disrete-to the Federal forces. Whether these reports be true or not, it is evident that Gen. Rosvcaaxs was not able to accomplish what be was directed to do, and his failure to do so is tanUmount to a defeat. Why was be unsuccessful and who responsible for the failure? There was ample opportunity to provide the Army of tbe Cumberland with all the appliances necessary for success. G a akt's army had 'accomplished the reduction ofVicksburg, and Port Hudson was captured long before Roskcsaks was - ordered to move upon the enemy's works in Tennessee and Georgia. There were tens of thousands of idle troops in the loyal States wbo could have been sent to the Army of tbe Cumberland in numbers sufficient to have made it almost, if not altogether invincible. Some forty thousand veteran troops were stationed in the neighborhood of New York City without any apparent necessity or purpose! It was stated tbey were sent there to enforce the conscription, but the draft was made weeks ago without opposition, and the troops stationed in New York for the avowed purpose of enforcing the confeription could have been sent to reinforce Roacckax' army to an extent to have insured a victory at Chickamauga instead of ä reverse. What apology can the War Department, in faet the Administration itself, offer to the country for the failure to reinforce or supply . General Roseciaks with an army large enough to strike a fatal blow at the rebellion at its most vjtal point? There is none whatever. For months the Army of the Cumberland had been preparing for an advance movement. But when it should have struck a successful blow, it is found that the enemy has outgeneraled as. If the forty thousand men sent to New York City had been sent to Rosccaass, to-day the sUrs and stripes would have been proudly floating over the strongholds of the rebels in Georgia: But so it has been since the war commenced. An inability to successfully cope with the troubles of the country has characterized this administration from the beginning. What hope can the most sanguine have, judging from the experience f tbe past, that the future will be more successful in restoring Union and peace, at any rate so long as the government is under the control of the present dynasty ? There is none. The responsibility for the pressen! condition of affUirs rests with the party in power. It has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and the only hope in the future is a radical change in tbe administration ef the government. lion. O. IV.

The Democracy of Ohio will ever owe him a deep debt of gratitude for giving them tbe service of his splendid abilities at so critical a juncture in the affairs of our Sute. A bosom friend of Mr. Vallandigham, he feels all the interest. in his success which such relationship can inspire, in addition to that still deeper devotion to the auccess of those great and glorious principles at suke in his election, far surpassing any considerations of merely personal nature.
