RebuIxe from INC R,ghtouar,er.

The Cincinnati CdttoIie Telegraph of this week
thus pointcdly rebukes the traitorous insolence
of the Cincinnati Enquirer the organ Of the
Yallandigham Democracy in South western
Ohio: r
The Cincinnati Enquirer is guilty of partis-
an misstatement when it says, in its late attack
on Gen. Roseerans, that he has changed his
views since re-entering the service He entered
into the service with the view of supporting the
Legitimate Government, and with the beliefthat
the struggle was going To be great one, and in
this precisely he perservers.
The Enquirer makes partisan statement, all
50. in saying that the General is in the habit Of
uttering as his own the sentiments of radical
Abolitionists His sentiments on the slavery
question are embodied in his of-repeated dec
laraLion; - 4s
''Would 10 God that it were possible, without
doing injustice to loyal men, TO render forever
impossible the separation of families and the
disregard Of the marriage tie, incident to the
traffic in slaves. tr

Tho Meeting Monday Evening.

A monster meeting came off at Birchard Hall
Monday eve'g, in commemoration Of Washing
tons birth day, also 10 respond TO the patriotic
Address and Resolutions of Ohios gallant sui
ders now in the field Full 200 persons were in
the Hall and hundreds could not gain an en-
trance Patriotic Speeches, Songs, Resolutions,
and Toasts kept the delighted audience until IL
o'clock. Such meetings as IT, win do much to
cheer the heart ofthe sef-sacrifcing soldier, who
and freedom-his face 10 his country's foes.-
When the gallant boys from Sandlsky county,
read the account Of this meeting they will take
fresh courage knowing that they are not forgot
ten by those at home. Such meetings should
be heldin every town and school district of the
State within the next two weeks. Let the free
men at home publicly acknowledge the services
of our patriotic soldiers give them words of hope
and cheer. Let them denounce in unequivocal
words every idea of compromise (Which means
base surender) and rebuke the rebel sympa-
thizers who are sowing seeds of discord through
out the land. Such meetings. and such patri-
otic words win be powerful stimulant to our
army, and proclaim to traitors and their allies,
their certain overthrow.
The proceedings Of the mecting will be found
IN another column. The Address and Resolu-
tions of the Ohio soldiers is printed on the first
page. The citizens are much indebted to the
gentlemen and ladies' who furnished such pat

1t is very significant fact as indicating the
spirit of the Copperheads towards the army in
The field. that wherever the Democrats have had
an opportunity during the sessions of the Leg
islatures this winter to oppose allowing the
soldier vote to be taken, they have done so. In
the Illinois Legislature they arrayed themselves
as party against it. In Wisconsin Democrat
has introduced bill to repeal the law under
which the soldier vote was taken last fall, and
on the 18th inst, the entire Democratic portion
for securing to soldiers in the field an opportu-
nifty to east their vote for State and National
officers The only opposition similar bill
meets with lin the Ohio General Assembly comes
from Democrats For political ends they would
disfranchise the patriotic voters who do the
fighting to preserve the Government under
which the Legislature assemble. Shame on
such party subseryiencY.

Bowling Green. XIV. Feb. 10 ga


70 The Editor ofthe Fremont Journal:
Having learned, through the medium OF
several letters recently received by persons in
this Regiment from their friends at home, in the
counties of Sandusky Ottowa and Erie, that
stories prejudical to the character and military
standing Of Capt Henry j. McCord are in cir
culation in some parts of the counties above
named, charging said McCord with tyranical
treatment towards his men; also, with a want Of
care on his part to provide them with food
clothing, de-, and finding fault with him for re-
ducing Serg't Lalimer of his Company
Now, therefore, we the undersigned commits
stoned officers of the lllth Regiment, o. V. l..
do most checrfully certify that all the above sta
ted charges against Capt. McCord are false; that
we have never known nor do we believe that
Capt. McCord has ever in any single instance
exercised the least tyranny over his men, or any
of them. That he has provided them with food
and clothing at all times when it was possible
for him to do so, and with the best quality with
in his reach That none of his men have been
compelled TO do more duty, nor have they done
more duty than the men of any other company
in this Regiment. That'so far as the reduction
of Serg't. Latimer is concerned, Capt. McCord
did not desire 10 have him removed; that he was
removed by the order of the Colonel of the reg.
iment, this being a matter over which the Cap
tain had no control Said Latmer would make
good Duty Serg't but had not the business
capacity for "0rderly." That SO faras Captain
McCord's conduct is concerned, it has always
been that of gentleman, soldier and good
officer, since he has been attached to this Reg
iment.
Please give the above an insertion in your
paper that justice may be done in the premises
and oblige the undersigned.

DEAR KErLER:--Enclosed you will find a
statement of facts in relation to Capt. ]. II. Nc
Cord and his Company, (from your county,
and l really desire you to publish that state
ment, as it does but simple justice to a good man
and good officer. If Captain McCord has any
fault as military commander it is in being too
easy and indulgent with his men. He has spar
ed no pains to make them comfortable, and yet
see by letters from there, that those who have
hitherto been his friends are berating and abus-
ing him III no measured terms. Now this is all
wrong. Men who are undergoing the priyations
of Camp Life, and endeavoring to do their duty
in this hour of our country's need should have
the good will and influence of the friends at
home to cheer them on. But enough of this.
Give the statement of the inclosed an insertion
in your columns, and oblge,
Yours, NJ. r. BRAILEY.
