Cincinnati, April 9th.-our forces

thousand Of our troops. On The second
day, Gen. Buell. reinforced Gen. Grant,
when we completely defeated them, re-
naming master Of the field. Gen. Sid
ney Johnson was killed and Gen. Prentis
taken prisoner. Our loss is estimated
at 5000. and that of the rebels from four
TO five thousand 1t was the grandest
battle ever fought on the continent. The
losses are probably exaggerated, but it
is dearly bought victory. News has

That Gov. Pierpoins is a gentleman

the services he rendered them in the
darkest hour Of their troubles ;and delight
to honor him with their confidence now,
when the clouds that lowered aroucd
them are passing away again by placing
him in the highest position in the gift
ofthe State.
Lieut.. Gov. Polsloy is a citizen Of our
own county, and to the people who have
known him long andwel he needsno com.
mendatiOu from US. Tha!ho isemiucu-
lily qualified for the position for which
his fellow county men have nominated

the workings of the restored State Gov
