CLEVELAND, Onl0, June ~, 1905.
GENTLEMEN: On my return home last
evening, | found your favor of the 18th
inst, announcing my nomination, by the
Union Convention, as candidate for Gov
erner Of Ohio.
You are fully aware, gentlemen, that this
nomination has been made not only without
my solicitation, but against my personal
wishes. The circumstances attending it,
and the manner of its presentation, scarcely
admit Of discussion as to the course to be
adopted. Personal considerations must
yield to the duty which every man owes to
the State; and therefore, while apprecia
ting alike the honors and responsibilities OF
the position, | assume the standard you
present to me, and to the utmost of my
ability, will bear it through the contest
whether to victory or.lefeat, those who have
chosen me must determine.
accept and fully approve the resolutions
OF the Convention accompanying your note
My own position has been so clearly defined
that do not consider it necessary to re
state it on this occasion. have but on,
object in accepting the position your con
stituents have assigned me and that is t,
aid you and them in sustaining the Govern
ment in the great work of suppressing thi
most wicked rebel ion, and estoring GU
country to its former unity and glory.
Very truly yours,
JoHN BRoUGn.

For reasons satisfactory to myself, and
acceptable to the commander of the Depart.
ment of the Cumberland, | have resigned
my commission as Colonel Of the 95th
Regiment.
How long I shall remain at home, or how
soon shall again be in the army are ques
tions that future circumstances shall de
termine. ! am just as willing to go into
tho service now, if needed, as | was when
entered it twenty months ago. My views
on the propriety and necessity of prosecu
ting the war, and using all legitimate and
efficient means, until the rebellion shall be
crushed, have undergone no change, except
they are little more radical now than wher
the war began, and whether l remain a
home or go into the service again expect
to use what little Influence may possess il
sustaining the Government, and in fighting
those who are attempting to destroy it.
For the present shall resume the edi
torial control of the CHRONICLE, and in th
important contest which has just commen
ced in Ohio shall endeavor to make it a
efficient and fearless advocate of the elec
ton Of the friends of the Government, th
people and the army, and the uncompro
missing foe Of those whose records prov
them the enemies of either.

of the rebels, having first driven away the
protecting force, thus cutting off their only
chance of escape.
On Friday there was terrific and decisiys
engagement between the Army of the Pol
tomac, under Major General Meade, and
the rebels under General Ice. The battle
lasted several hours, during which tims
there was some of the most terrific artillery
practice ever known. In this contest the
air for two hours was positively darkened
by the iron hail. After this he advanced
his infantry, and hurled them with great
impetunsity upon our gallant army, ia two
or three separate attempts, but orr men
wthstood the assaults, aud repulsed the
enemy with terrific loss. The rebel defeat
was complete, and when we lett, at 3 O clock

Their retreat is, in all probability, cut of.

lery and infantry, is spoken of as having

l was led to these remarks by the refec

friends Of one of our most meritorious Of
ticers were called upon to bid him good bye
| refer to Lieut.. II. Ii. Cochrane Of the
Fifteenth 0hio, a gentleman who made
himself valuable inthe army both by his
services and his example, and whose com.
parative influence for good, could by nc
means be measured by the rank which he
happened to hold.
At ono time he was under cloud, his
name was published in the papers of Louis
villo and Cincinnati as that of an Officer
dismissed from theA service for improper
absence from his regiment and, although
afterward honorably restored, the explana
ton Of his conduct and the vindication Of
his fame never appeared in tho press. A
desire TO do simple justice to q gentleman
and soldier, induces me to briefly recall
the circumstances.
In March, 1862, Lieut. G. being in very
feeble health, was ordered to Nashville fol
treatment. Convalescing in April, he wa.
ordered by Gen. Buell. to report for ligh
duty to Col. John 4. Miller, then command
ing Barracks, etc., at Nashville. Detailed
thus by the highest authority in the dis
trict, only the same could relieve him, an,
for several months he continued to serve il
various spselii1 under Col. Miller. Abou
the middle Of July he was astounded to see
in the Louisville Journal and Cincinnati
Commercial, an order from Gen. Buell. dis

resolutions, which were adopted unanimous
ly:
WHEREAS, 1t having come to tho knowl

posed and vruent partisan politicians, Ia
king advantage OF our absence, are endeav.
oring by Misrepresentation to impress upon
; and influence the public mind with the idea
that all of company Il are Butternut Dem
ocrats OF the VallaDdigham creed and,
whereas, such misrepresentation has pos
tive tendency to weaken the hands Of the
Government, in military sense, by dis.
tracting the expectations of all loyal men,
r and to strengthen the enemy, by leading
, them TO believe that the soldiers in the
, field are divided on the great question of the
day, and whereas we the members of Co.
l Il, having been so grossly misrepresented
, by the Vallandigham wing of the Demo
cracy, deem it necessary that we should
adopt resolutions to show our attachment
to our country, aud correct all msrepresen
