Our readers will find the letter of Vol.
unteeT," which we publish to-day quite as
interesting as if it had reached us in time
for our last edition. Although dated on the
llth, we did not receive it until the morn
ing of the 10th. Our patriotic correspon-
dent is right in supposing that his letter
will prove interesting to our friends" here.
We can assure him that nothing we publish
gives more satisfaction and pleasure to our
people than these letters from the "tepted
field" by those who are standing between
their country and its armed foes Drawing
danger and death in defence of the Union
and its glorious old Gag. Many and warm
are the prayers for their safety and success,
that daily ascend from the home-altars O

The FIRE CoMpANlEs.-Th City Solicitor
has given his opinion that the law providing
for the election of delegates and the organi.
cation of a Board Of Fire Wardens, requires
the concurrence of all the Fire Companies
and that the failure of one company to act
in the matter, will prevent the others from
carrying il into effect. Unless each com
pany elect delegates to convention by Til,
first Tuesday in June, the Council canno
make the annual appropriation. The mem
bers of the companies will therefore see til,
propriety Of immediate action, and if IN,
law should be found TO he defective or OPP
pressive, it can be amended Mt the next SEES
sion of the Legislature.

THE Abolition-disunionis are great on
names. They think these more potent than ar
gument-Or perhaps being without argument,
they seek to put down those who diGer with
them by using terms which they think oppro'
brious. The lates. invention is that Of "Butter-
nus" Every one who is not an Abolitionist
they style "ButteTnut." By this they mean,
we presume, q rebel, and hence might just as
we'll say SO. Our neigbbOr Of the Journal has
seemed to fall in love with this term and uses
ID quite Appsntly 10 his paper. IL may be
thought very smart by the editor Of the Journal,
but as general thing sensible people look up
on all such attempts with derisioD, and regard
their authors with contempt

A special dispatch from Washington to the
Cincinnati Gasstte, dated July 25, while denying
the statement Of the New York Herald that
SEWARD proposed to retire from the Cabinet on
account of what the dispatch styles o vigorous
war policy, admits that there sis some dissen-
sion In the Cabinet on this point " And the
Gazttte in its editorial column, in referring to
Gen. ROUSSEAU being now in command at Hunts
vile, Alabama, in place Of MITCHELL, says that
IL was proposed to make him Msjor.Gensral,
and the proposition "was cons dered BY the
President, discussed in the Cabinet and decided
in the negative" The reason for the rejection
of the proposition, was that SEWARD, BLAIR aud
BArEs thought Rousseau too radical! The Ga
rere processes to speak blythe book ,aDd the way
it takes occasion to pitch into the Cabinet is a
caution. Indeed its style and manner are sueh

Cheering News


Our CORE spondence from different parts ofthe
State, and It ia by no means limited, gives the
most gratifying accounts Of the activity and
unity of the Conservative men of the State,
Democrats and others, who are determined to
make vigorous and powerful effort to rescue
Ohio, aud by decision at the ballot box, throw
the weight of the State against radicalism and
fanatcism, and In favor of Constitutional men
and measures
We expressed the opinion on the 5!h OF July
that the ticket nominated on the 4ih would carry
the State, and We repeat that opinion now,
with increased confidence, The extreme psrti-
san measures passed by the present Congress,
at Its recent session, has aroused the people aud
the result is that men in large numbers end in
every portion of Ohio, who never cast vote
with the Democracy on any former occasion,
will unite with us this fall heartily. Let the
good work 20 on, and let Ohio be redeemed.

CARNcRoss & DIxEY's MNsTRELs.- This
troupe, who perform at Naughton's Hall on
Monday and Tuesday evenings next, recently
gave concerts in Smith & Dltsons Hall, Cincin-
matt, to crowded houses. One of the Cincinnati
papers, in speaking of their style Of contraband
minstrelsy, says that their jokes are original
and their instrumental music superb, while
there are those among the troupe possessing
such sweet voices, that one is fascinated on lis
tening to them.
Carncross is described as having most sin-
gular voice, which, though somewhat sharp, is
nevertheless agreeable to the ear; and as he
sings with taste and judgment-his articulation
being very good--he always pleases, and sell
dom fails to receive an enthusiastic encore.
Our citizens who would not miss rich COM
ical and musical treat, had better make sure oi
the frst opportunity, and visit Naughton's Hal
tomorrow (Monday) evening.

The confession of DIR. LINCOLN to the Border
State men that the Abolition pressure upon
him was severe, and bis admission that he could
not afford to lose the support Of that Infamous
faction, is we'll calculated to impress the reflect.
ing mind with dependency. The idea that
such unworthy men, such traitors to the cOun-
try, have power over the President which he
ackno owledges, is sad In the extreme, and much,
very much, to be regretted. II Mr.. LINCOLN
had the moral courage to throw of these Abo.
lition Disunionists and to place q few Of the
choice spirits 10 Fort Warren or some military
prison. he would add to his strength largely
among the people. The best move he could
make for the Union aud his own success, would
be to throw of the AbOlitionists, at once and
forever.

Of which the Cincinnati GGsstts Of yesterday
Saturday morning, gives the following ac-
count:
On Monday night, the 2lst inst, some young
men In the street at New Albany remarked, as
party Of negroes passed smoking cigars. that
che negroes we're putting on good deal of style.
The negroes went on little distance, and then
commenced firing on the crowd. The 6rst shot
struck one Of the whites on the thigh; the SEQ
ond passed through the heart of JOHN LOCKE,
killing him instantly. The negroes then ran
on Four negroes were arrested next day on
suspicion, and much bad feeling ensued.
Was this riot at New Albany occasioned by
emissaries sent on from the east as 1t Is pretend
cd the riots at Cincinnati and Toledo were, in
an article published yesterday Saturday
morning In the Journal Of this city7 Were
those New Albany negroes induced to fire on
crowd Of peaesable citizens and commit muir
