altered their course to ipit the new state OF
things, atlll keeping befare them the one single
and darling object, the emancipation Of the
negroes. Nf
Slavery, they said, was at the bottom OF the
rebellion, and must be exiingulahed before we
could have peace. Therefore, there must be no
compromise with Shareholders. The war must
20 on till that which caused the rebellion, name
ly, slavery, was extirpated, or in a fair way oil
utter extinction. Na4
Still, while uttering these sentiments tney
loudly professed to be the only true friends Oh
the Union. From being either covert or OUT
spoken advocates of dissolution, Republican
journals and leaders suddenly became voc'lef'
ous for war to save the Union, and exhibited
the most intolerant and feroclous spirit toward
those whom they suspected OF cherishing the
views they had themselves professed to enter
tain few days before.
In one week after his famous secession
speech in Boston, WENDELL PHILLIPs delivered
another in the same place, giving the war; as he
expressed It, welcome "hearty and hot," and
rejoicing in it, not because il would preserve the
Union, bat because it would extirpate slavery,
declaring, while shout Of applause WAS sent
up by his Republican hearers, that he did not
care whether secession was acknowledged or
cannonaded, so that the four millions negro
slaves In the South were set free.

The Secretary OF war and the Gov.
ernOr of Ohio.

Nothing in the world would give us greater
satisfaction than to be able to say that Secreta :
ry Cameron and Governor Dennison were i'm
proving, and had at last learned the first lesson
of business--each how to mind bis own busi-
ness. But we fear we shall not Immediately
have tho qualification of making such an an
nouncement. The State of Ohio has raised
certain regiments which have been mustered
into the United States service. When the pro-
cess Of mastering them into the United States
service is complete the Governor has no con-
troll of them. All authority is vested 10 the
United States authorities. Gov. Dennson has
no more authority over the United States troops
from Ohio, than he has over those from any
other State. But this fact does rot appear to
have entered the brains of either the Secretary
of War or the Governor. The former contin-
ues to issue his orders to the latter, and the
Governor thereupon issues bis orders to United
States officers. The effect of this lsconfusion
and perplexity The other day His Excellency
ordered the United States Quartermaster In this
city to forward transportation for the army 10
Virginia. The latter was Obliged to reply that
when he received the order from the "proper
authority" be would promptly obey.
When General Mcclellan was ordered to
Washington, the command of the Department
OF the Ohio devolved upon General Rosecrans.
The movements of the rebels on the Kanawha
we're important, and the return of the three
months men rendered relniorcements desirable
to enable the commanding General to conduct
the campaign. He ordered certain Ohio regi.
ments to Western Virginia. Tie twenty y-third
started, and on the Marietta road, were halted
by an order from the GOutrnor requiring them
to counter march and move to Washington -
These are illustrations Of the confusion which
pervades the War Office 1t is not only disgust
ing to the public, but it is extremely discourage
ing to the troops and disheartening to com
manders.
Will some one kindly remind the Governor
that he does not outrank Gen. Rosecrans in the
United States service, and that the General
commands the United States forces in the De.
partment Of the Ohio.
Will the Commercial, from which we copy the
above, consent that Democratic Convention
shall embody the spirit OF ts article in q reso-
luton and pass it, 'and not charge the Con-
vention with giving aid and comfort to the en-

From the Cincinnati Commercial
Capture of Lieutenant Raynor, OF
portsmouth, Ohio-Incidonts of the
Ohio Boys' Part i'm the Fight.
The following has been communicated to us
from reliable source N@
Lieut.. Raynor WIN. II. Raynor), of Capt.
Bailey's Company G, of First Ohio Regiment,
of Portsmouth, Ohio, was captured by troop of
the Black Horse cavalry, while near the hos
pital, He was last seen by Mr.. Cox "a mem
Der Of Bailey's company. Cox was surround.
ed by the cavalry at the same time, but killed
one of them and escaped. AS he left the
ground to join bis company, he saw Lieut.. Ray
nor prisoner in the hands Of the rebels. Lieut..
RaynOr had been quite unwell for several days
previous to The battle, and became much ex-
hausted during the engagement. A painful
suspense is felt by his friends, as he went into
the engagement without any uniform to desig-
nate his rank, and as he would be taken for a
private, fears are entertained that he was killed
by his captors. He was great favorite with
the company, and all in the Brigade (Schenck's)
who knew him. Much solicitude is felt by his
family and many friends in Portsmouth.
Corporal Prendergast, of the same company,
narrowly escaped being taken during the same
charge. The lines being temporarily broken,
one Of the cavalry started at him With q drawn
sabre. Prendergast fell back In a fence corner,
and extended his gun, expecting to deliver him
self up. The trooper refused to take the gun,
and made stroke at him with his sword, when
Prendergast warded off the blow with his gun,
and shot his assailart, bayoneting him as he
fell from the saddle. Prendergaat secured an
English fowling piece 10 the possession Of the
horseman, and escaped
Company G was with the frat to open the
engagement. They fought in the face of mask
ed batteries, and we're with the last to leave the
ground, which they did in good order, covering
the retreat and bringing of all their arms.

DcmocraIic state Convention.

Alta meeting of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committee held in Columbus, on the 5tt
day of July, 1861, it was
ResOlued, That it 10 expedient to hold Demo
cratic State Convention at Columbus, on
wednesday, August 7th, 1851,
4, nominate a Democratic State Ticket, to be
supported at the October election.
Pesolnsd. further, That all the electors of the
State of Ohio, who are in favor OF perpetuatlng
the principles upon which our Union was found
ed, and are convinced that the present state
and National Administrations are wholly IN
competent to manage the government IN Its
present critical condition. as well as all VINO are
opposed to the gross extrsvagance ana corrup-
tion now so alarmingIy prevalent in public al
tairs. be earnestly invited to unite with the
Democracy in this hour of our country's peili,
and thus redeem the State, and place Its ad-
ministraton in competent hands
ResoIped, further, that the basis OF represen'
tation in said Convention be one delegate Tor
every 500 votes, and an additional DELEGATE for
a fraction of $50 and upwards, cast for THOMAS
J. S, SMITH, for Supreme Judge at the October
election in 1860, and that it be recommended
that the counties elect their delegates on this
basis.
The Democracy of Ohio and all other con-
servative Union men, who are willing TO cooper
ate with them on the above basia, are requested
to meet in their respective counties at such time
az the local committees may designate, and ap-
point delegates to the Democratic Convention
on the 7th of August, to nominate State
ticket to be supported at the October election.
1t is presumed that no lover OF his country
will require prompting at this time to induce
him to discharge hs duty, and therefore the
Committee is impressed with the belief that the
counties will eagerly respond to this call, and
that an imposing Convention will assemble in
Columbus at the time designated above, and
put 10 domination ticket of good and true
men, to be supported for the various State of
Gees on the "a Tuesday in October next.

A FATAL PRzE.-The Cracow journals an
nounce the death in that city Of a man named
Brikowiski, who won the great prize of $50, ,00O
forms in the Austrian lottery last year. To
obtain immediate possession Of his fortune, he
paid discount of / / 900 forms, but from the
momenighe got it in bis possession, he seems
never to have enjoyed a moments peace, so
fearful was he that some robber would strip him
of his unexpected wealth. He kept IL in au

The HARVEST IN ENGLAND.-Private letters
from London give assurance that the presen,
crop Of wheat and barley will be beyond the
average, and perhaps nearly equal to their wants
or that less importations of foreign grain than
usual will be necessary. On the contrary, the
London EcOnOniiit, of June 90, a reliable auth
ority, says;
"Oi the wheat crop we can not give a very
good account. The plant is generally thin, and
let the yield from the straw be as large as posi-
Ole, The crop can scarcely be a full one. The
growth of the wheat plant has, however, been
very favorable; the color ia remarkably good
while the late rains will give it decided i'm.
pulse. The breadth sown is comparatively
small, and good deal of that sown was on land
in foul state"

Gen. Wool ana the Administration.

On our first page we publish letter from
General Wool, exposing the treatment of him
self by the Administration. 1t will, no doubt,
be read with interest The people have won
dered why it is that this gallant old soldier has
been ignored and retired at Troy, New York.
This letter explains all. .-
The people were informed that he was sent
to Troy to recruit his health. We are, how
ever, informed by the General that he has never
enjoyed better health than this summer, SO tha
dodge will avail them nothing.
The principal object in discontinuing Gen
Wool in the service at New York seems t.
have been to give CUNNING, of the New Yorl
World, special pet Of CAMERoN's, chance t.
make some money out of the contracts for fur
nishing transportation and subsistence for tb'
troops.
We shall recur to this subject hereafter.

WAsHlNGToN, saturday, July ~.
The belief that the Confederates will next be
heard from above Leesburg, on the Potomac, in
an attempt to cross into Maryland and to come
down on Washington on its exposed eide, gains
strength hourly. Although the pickets of the
enemy are within three miles Of Alexandria,
there is now no apprehension Of an attempt on
the Capital.
Hereafter General Scott is to be the strategist
and Mcclellan the tactician of the army.
Nothing has yet been heard from the parties
who went out to get the body of Colonel Cam
eron. II is believed the Coniederates have some
new scheme on foot, which they intend to keep
secret and will keep the messengers prisoners
until II is developed.

Payment OF the Ehree Months Vol
unteers,

We hear many complaints from the volun-
teers about the settlement with the State au'
thorities
We understand that the extravagant prices
paid to contractors for worthless uniforms is
deducted from the pay of the men, leaving
them but mere pittance in money. It's well
known that the prices paid for overcoats and
other clothing was such as to afford the con-
tractors large pro6ts-even as much as four
and six dollars on each. Now we ask, is ii
right that these men, who have been for
three months securing the hills and ravines oi
Western Virginia, shooting and being shot at
shall pay these profits out of their small allow
ance? If favorits ahall be allowed to pocket
these large pro6ta, let it come from those who
gave it to them, and not the soldiers; their pay
is small enough at best. The volunteer SOL
ders should be furnished their clothing at its
cost We protest against these large profits be-
iug deducted from their pay.
