~The Breckinridgers Of Ohio are
selecting their leaders for the coming
election. as ccolly as though we were
living in piping times of peace. and
nothing more than political contest on
hand. In the Dayton District they
have almost unanimously nominated
the arch traitor Vallandigham. for Con-
gress. Sunset Cox is also candidate,
and amongst the list IS published in a
Democratic paper, we find the name Of
Wells A. HurcHIEs as q candidate in
this District. We have heard it al.
legged that Mr.. Hutchins is 8 sound
Union man. We have no reason to
doubt it. bat must say that he is found
in rather strange company. A Union
man on the list with Vallsndigham and
Cox seems rather oninous to say the least.
Men are judged by the compsny they
keep. If papers claiming to be Demo-
cratic, win insist on parading list Of
their SO called Democratic nominees for
Congress, in which list are contained
the names of Vsllandigham Cox and
Hutchins. surely we are justified in the
opinion that they Eev their man be-
fore his name was set down. Does any
man doubt if that list be elected. that
Vallandigham and Cox would be the
leaders, and the others follow their
lead? 1t may not be so, but we have
loEg since learned to look upon condi-
tional Union men, and Border State
Democrats as decidedly .fshy. The
time has come when the people re-
quire a candidate to do something
more than be Ostsnsi6ly for the Union.
Give us a man at least who would be
ashamed to have his name app.ar in a
list, with that of Vallandigham.

that the men had no voice in the selec-

Professor a. G. SEARS, has been COM
PEELED by ill health to postpone the
Fall session of the Gsllia Academy
We regret this greatly. and so will our
readers. Professor SEARS has estab-
lished reputation as gentleman. a
scholar. and competent teacher, which
but few can acquire. His disease re-
quires rest and quietness Of mind and
body, which in these war times, cannot
be found on the border. We trust his
absence may be but temporary. and
thst a few months will find him re-
stored to health. and his numerous
friends in Gallipolis be grati6ed BY his
presence once more among them.

% Capt. John lowering the gentle.
manly and efficient A. @. NJ. at Gauley
now on his way to Eastern Va, has ar
rived in town with his family and corps
of clerks. We venture to say that but
few Quartermasters in the service have
undergone more labor and fatigue than
he. Gauley has become celebrated, as
a place where men can live on less food,
less whiskey, less money, and less re-
ligion than any spot outside Of Hades.
That Capt. Levering has been able to
conduct the business in satisfactory
manner for months past, speaks volumes
in his favor. more especially as the Of
fee when handed over to him by Capt.
Fitch was in a state Of such inextrica-
be confusion and chaos, as to entail up
on Capt. Leverirg tenfold more labor
than if it had been properly managed.
Capt. H. H. Boggess may consider
himself lucky in succeeding man,
whose reputation for honesty and skill
will doubtless render his labors less ar
duous than they otherwise would have
been. We feel satisfied the bust
ness of the Office at Gauley. will not
suffer by falling into the hands of Capt.
Boggess and his chief clerk Mr.. El-
liott. Long may she ,oavs.

FT The 1l6th Regiment, o. v,
under command of Col. Washburne,
arrived in town Monday evening, from
Marietta, via Portland. They are &
fine, hearty looking set of men. and
when once uniformed and properly
equipped. will do good service. The
boys looked weary and fOot-sore from
travelling through the heat and dust,
but few days rest will make all right.
They bivouscked in the open air on the
Fair grounds, as tents and camp equip
age are not on hand yet. One thing
we noticed with pleasure, that Colonel
Washburne personally attended to the
wants of his men by going on the
ground, and seeing that so far as prac-
ticable. they were supplied. The de-
sire he manifested to have them COM
Portable. and reconciled to the incon-
veniences of the hour, was highly COM
mendable.
Since the above was in type, We are
in formed tina. Col. washburu1 is cum
mander of the post, which settles the
much vexed question alluded to in an
other article in to-day's paper. We
also learn that he has settled the
whisky question by ordering all shops
closed, and to stay closed until further
orders. Perhaps the Colonel is not
aware that the weather itself is very dyy,
that vegetation everywhere is suffering
for drink, that the roads require a
heaVy ,Oet, and surely poor suffering hu-
manity ought not to be deprived OF
"suthin' to take, if only to save men
from taking to Dother" But then the
Ohio river still flows on, and the COL
onel evidently knows the blessings of
pure water for the thirsty. All good
citizens will thank him, and as for the
rest of US. we must "grin and bear it"
without ais-ing.

/nour old friend Captain Baggs. Of
the Snake.huuters. has made bis sp.
pearsnee In town again. looking as
wiry and vigorous as though war was
but pastime. and shooting rebels but
holiday pleasure. His quaint and
somewhat eccentric style Of uniform. Is
in marked contrast to the glittering
sheen" of Captains generally. The
cid "smssh down" hat, which looks as
though it had been used as a camp
stool for years. and the homesPun
linsey- suit Of clothing. indicates that
the Captains genius does not run in
that line commonly seen on our streets.
and known as "6xed up." The Cap
tain evidently cares little for shoulder
straps, silk sasbes, or "fuss and
feathers" generally. To him this re.
bellion is war. His purpose is to seek
the enemy in his lair. in his secret
hiding places. and not wait for him in
the towns and villages on our side of
the border. The Captain is charac-
ter, most decidedly. He was hardly In
town until he had in charge a traitor,
who was accused Of having deserted
our forces. and guided the enemy in
their attack on Weston. If found
guilty. the Captain will make short
work of his case. A dozen such lead
ers as Captain Baggs would soon rout
the rebels in Western Virginia. and be
worth a regiment of the fancy men
who think that style Of warfare "un-
beee6ing an officer"

Four young friend Capt. JAMES
P. DRoUILLARD Of Gen. McDowell's
staff, has arrived in town on sick fur
lough. He looks as though he had seen
service, and perhaps has seen as much,
as any young man in the army. We
trust the healthy atmosphere Of CALI
polls. bright eyes and smiling faces OF
our fair ones. who always welcome the
soldier, will speedily restore him to
I'enl,h and duty. The warlike appear
ance Of things among us, will serve to
relieve the monotony, which a soldier

feel. Welcome to the gallant Captain.

re Considerable anxiety is mani
tested by creditors of the Government
in this county, and complaints are be-
coming louder every day in regard to
the non-payment of claims by the
Quartermasters, here and at Gauley.-
For the information Of such parties,
we are allowed to state that all Just
claims will be liquidated in short time.
The accounts have been passed upon
by the Departments at Washington,
and funds drawn for upon the Treasury.
Secretary Chase has deemed it his duty
to pay first, the bounty and arrears Of
pay to the widows and orphans of de-
ceased soldiers, nearly all Of whom are
in pressing want of the little pittance
thus given them, in lieu Of the services
Of the husband and brothers taken
away BY death. Surely our farmers
and others who have stayed at home,
selling their produce, or laboring in the
Quartermaster's Department at high
wages, will not complain that such
claims have been preferred.
Again. the 500. 900 men Just being
called into the field must be paid their
first months pay. and one fourth the
bounty. Is this not also right9 Was
the faith Of the Government not pledged
to this payment? Shall we not patient

termasters, but owing to the facts above
