MESSAGE OP THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO.
Gov, Dennson has just issued the following appeal
20 the pegple of Ohio:
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1861-10-17

We print in this issue mass of in
teresting matter that will attract univer-
sal attention. The charges and speci-
fieations of Gen Fremont against Col.
Blair, consisting of Mrs. Fremont's
letters to the President during her late
visit to Washington, President Lin
coins reply, General Fremont's COM
munication to the President, Postmas-
ter General Blair's communication to
General Fremont, Colonel Blair's letter
to his brother, the Postmaster General,
and the charges and specifications of
Col. Blair against Gen. Fremont.
1t is mass of interesting documents
which will be read with more avidity
than anything that has appeared in the
newspapers since the accounts of the
last battle. But Notwithstanding the
flutter which the publication Of this
correspondence must occasion in mill
tary and political circles, it adds little
or nothing to what was previously
known or surmised on the subject of it.
The affair is most unpleasant one
for all the parties to it, and is most un-
fortunate for the country whether Mr..
Blair's charges are supported or not.
1t is unfortunate if the commander of
so important a department has been
distrnsted and annoyed without good
reason, and doubly unfortunate if the
opinion of his incompetency is well
founded.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18th, 1851

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18th, 1851.
EDITOR CAss Co. REPUBLICAN,
Dear Sir:-The Battle Creek Engi
neers are very anxious to have an op
portunity to thank the people of Dowa
giac, most heartily, for the pleasant col
lation prepared for them, upon their
arrival in Dowagiao on Monday of last
week. They all declare that it was
the right thing, at the right time, and
by the right kind of people. Three
times three for Dowagiac may YOU
always remain as generous and pa.ri
otto. We have pleasant corner in ou1
memory for you.
Our Company had very pleasant
trip, from Battle Greek to st. Lou
staying all night at the Mascot House
in Chicago, left Chicago, at A. M.
on Tuesday, for st. Louis, over the
Chicago, Alton and St. Louis r. r.
after pleasant days ride over the prai
ries of Illinois, we arrived in st. Loui,
at 10 P. NJ, and are now CHARTERED al
the st. Charles Hotel. On WEDNESDAY
at o A. NJ, the order to fall in was Civ
en- which being executed by the Com
pany, we marched through the streets Of
St. Louis to Head Quarters and after g
short stay, from there to the St. Louis
Arsenal, where after an examination
by the surgeon attending, we were duly
sworn into the United States service
as Battle Creek Engineers, for the term
of three years, unless sooner discharged.
Every man was accepted, the surgeon
declaring that we were the finest body
of men, both physically and mentally,
that he had ever examined. Our Com.
pany are in excellent health and spirits,
and will 60 into quarters to-day, in a
private dwelling, fine brick house
with beautiful grounds, lately belong
ing to some person of secession pro-
clivities, but now confiscated, and the
property of Uncle Sam. We shall
probably remain there eight or ten days
and then 60 to Jefferson City, for
which place we are now under march
ing orders.
Once more thanking the kind people
of Dowagiac for their kind attentions
to this Company, on the occasion allud-
ed to above, l must close. More anon.

GREAT ROBBERY IN CHIcAGo-$26,-
900 SToLEN.-A letter from Detective
Bradley, of Chicago, to the Chief OF
Police in this city, announces that an ex-
tensive robbery was committed in Chi
cago on Saturday the 18th inst. About
half past one o'clock Saturday after
noon a guest at the Sherman House
went to the bank and got a package
containing $4,000 in current Ohio,
Indiana and Canada. bank bills, and
$21 900 in deprecated Illinois enrren-
cy, the value of the whole being esti
mated at about $4,000. The money
was taken to his room, placed in a
trunk which was then locked, and the
owner went down to dinner, locking
his room behind him. He was absent
about forty minutes, and on returning
found the room door opened, the trunk
also opened, and the money gone.
1t is supposed that the job had been
tipped" from St. Louis, and that the
victim had been followed from that
city by some expert thieves. A re-
ward Of 81 900 for the recovery of the
property and the arrest of the thieves

ing in the night and drove in Wilson's

rebels also say that they carried off
number of prisoners.
