This Is the Wa the soIdiers Yote.

General Garfield telegraphs from Chat
tanooga to the State Journal the following
decided result Of the army vote:
"Returns thus far Of the Ohio Volunteer
Infantry in this army give 9,424 for
BrOugh and 252 for Vallsndigham. Seven
regiments ofinfantry and eight batteries
not yet heard from. Over four regiments
Of cavalry did not vote; they were absent
writing history with their sabres on the
heads of VallandIgham's friends. Ohio
lost 5000 Union voters at Chickamsuga.
We that are left greet John Brough
again"
The soldiers vote at Washington, Alex
andria and Annapolis, give BrOugh S57,
and Vallandigbam AZ.
A dispatch from Royal Taylor, State
Agent at Louisville, to Governor Tod, SAYS
the vote for Brough at the several hospit-
ais in that city is 655. Vallandigham's
vote was SO Insignificant it was waste Of
money to telegraph it.
Vallandigham may have been the SOL
diers' friend, as his paper claimed, but if
50, they have queer way Of showing it.
Perhaps he would have liked to 20 into
their camps and electioneer for himself.
BE would have had spirited receptiOn.no
doubt. 4

Cheerful I.errer from John Bright.

A letter from John Bright, NJ. P, to g
gentleman in Washington, dated Richdale
September 26th, 1853, says: al need moi
tell you how much rejoice in the pros.
poets of termination of your grievoua
war, and how much hope that your inde-
Pendence of the Slave Power is being Be-
cured. There is much angry feeling on
your side against this country, and there
is cause for it. Nevertheless our Govern
ment has stood firm against all PROPOSE
tiOns for mediation or recognition from
France, and its conduct, in some respects,
contrasts favorably with that Of the Empe-
rOr of thu French, and this I hope your
people will not forget. The iron-elads will
not be allowed to go out on their piratical
career and Mason, the Southern Envoy.
has left London in disgust. I hope this
will show you that every thing is not bad
in England"

To the Editors of The Leader:
srRs-Permit me, through your paper,
to make grateful mention of a delightful
surprise from the ladies and friends of this
Soldiers Aid Society in this place, on the
evening of September 3Oth. The assem-
bling at our residence of large number
Of friends, and the generous donation Of
sixty-fve dollars in money, together with
various articles of living, were entirely
unexpected. The value of the seasonable
donation was much increased by the fact
Of its coming so soon after heavy bereave-
ment, by the oonsiderate and delicate man
ner of the presentation and by the many
accompanying expressions, by word or
note, of affection and sympathy. That
rich reward may be bestowed on every
kind contributor is the wish and prayer of
their grateful and affectionate friend,

SOLDIERS AID SOCIETY,


s5 BGEk STREET, CLEVELAND, October I6, 1868
From the letter of lady in Nashville,
who has for many months been familiar
with the hospitals there, and the needs of
the soldiers, we make the following ex-
tracts:
"Now that cold weather is coming on,
our poor boys must suffer more from cold
and exposure without sufficient cloth
ing and blankets than from any other
cause. Many are sent here wounded and
without descriptive rolls. These cannot
draw from Government, and we have con-
slant call for woolen underclothing and
blankets. Underclothing we have here in
the Sanitary rooms, but very rarely have
we blanket to bestow. Cotton comforta-
bles are useful in hospitals, but are not fit
to send to the convslescent camps and bar
racks.
"Some poor fellows came in yesterday
with an order from their commanding off ..
Ger for blankets and warm underolothing
They said that many of them had to sit up
all night by the fire to keep comfortable
and in many places they cannot get a FIRE
to sit by. One convGlescent man was here
yesterday who had been sent from hospi-
tai to barracks to make room for the
wounded He said that in changing they
had lost their blankets, and he had nothing
TO put under or over him. He had paper
vouching for the correctness of his story.
The past three weeks they have been com
ing in daily with the same wants, and we
are always able to give them something
to make them more comfortable though
wish we had more Of the gray army blank
cts TO give in such cases.
al am now staying with the Misses Uf-
fngton. true Union women who spend a
great deal of time in hospitals talking to
the soldiers and seeing what they need.
Good Union people are very scarce among
the residents of Nashville"
We hope the above call for blankets and
warm clothing will be noticed by our
friends in Branch Societies, and that they
will endeavor to meet this pressing de-
mand, so far as possible. We are request
ed by our agents in the field to make an
earnest call for butter-in cans or kegs
to be sent to hospitals in Nashville ard
Chattanooga. We hope our friends will
feel disposed to give literally of the pro-
ceeds of the dairy for the comfort of their
sons and brothers who have SO few delica
cies in the hospitals to which sickness or
wounds now confine them.

GENERAL sIGEL AT THE SOLDIERS AID So
CIETY ROOMS.
We had the pleasure on Thursday morn
ing Of call, at our rooms from General
Sigel who expressed himself greatly in
terested in the work of relief which the
loyal women Of the North are engaged in.
AT the conclusion of his visit this gal
liant soldier gave us the following cheer
ing words;
LADIES In thanking you for the kind
reception given to me to-day, must also
thank you for the tender feelings that
prompted you to the work which you are
doing for the soldiers.
The natural effect of war upon q nation
is TO repress the softer emotions and to set
back the tide of humane feeling, but we
are thankful that in one class Of the COM
munity the tenderest feelings of the heart
are still kept alive and are shadowed out
by deeds of love and mercy. We are
thankful, l say, that the women Of our
country preserve the tender impulses of
more peaceful days.
War is rough business, and to be q
good soldier man must learn to see his
eomrade die before his face, and TO spring
| over his body to meet the enemy; but l
| assure you that every time the soldier re-
ceives the parcel prepared for him by your
society or other similar associations, it re-
minds him that woman stands before him
as an example Of all that is noble and hu-
name.
And there is another thing would say,
the duties, often wearisome and disagreea-
able, which you have chosen to take upon
yours Ives at these rooms, are such as the
Southern women have despised to learn.
Their education has untitled them for the
domestic life in which the women of the
North find their greatest happiness. The
proud chivalry of the South is now brought
from necessity to perform the duties which
you, in the North, glory in doing for your
armies.
Even now, JEFF. Davis has issued an or
der commanding the Southern women to
weave stockings and make pantaloons for
bis soldiers. A good wife is the greatest
blessing man can have, and the heart
that cannot appreciate the love of woman,
and value her respect, can never truly love
and serve his country.
wish to assure you that the soldier is
grateful for the comfort you are giving
him. l hope We may meet again in hap
pier times
Again thank you, and must say fare
we'll.
NOTICE.
We have work always ready to give out
to ladies who will call at our ROOMS for it,
and will be glad of the aid of all who are
disposed to make garments or bedding for
hospitals.

This mornings table shows returns from
seventy-nine counties which, in 1862, gave
512 Union majority and swell it in 1868
to 66. 574 Nine counties are yet to come
IN, to wit: Adams, Brown, COshOotOn,
Henry, Mercer, Noble, Paulding, Putnam
and Williams. These counsies cast the
following vote in 1862: Union, 8,841 /;
Democrats, Il, ,43O; Democratic majority
Of 6,O89.
Judging from this we think that the re-
turns will not vary greatly from 65, 900 on
the home vote. But the figures seem SO
wonderfully elastic that we may have to
shove the mark up higher yet.

REPORT OF THE FARn1SGTos AID SOCIETY.

PENNINGTON, O., October 13, 1868.
Will you allow us little space in your
paper for an abstract of the annual report
of tia Pennington Soldiers Aid Society.
We cast glance back to our beginning,
two years ago, when we met, without funds,
hardly knowing what to do but feeling
that we must, in some way, give shape and
efficiency to our newly awakened sympa-
thies for the sick and wounded soldiers in
the hospitals.
We feel that we have reason to "thank
God and take courage" that He has given
US something with which to do every work
to the present time, and that our treasury
has at no time been empty.
Dur ng the past year we have received
funds from mite societies, from contribu-
tions raised at political meetings, from the
War Committee, from half the avails of
two of Professor Hamill public readings,
from generous contribution after an ad-
dress by Rev. Mr.. Warrell Of Illinois, and
from private individual donations. To all
these donors we tender our hearty thanks.
The cash report for the year ending Oc-
tober l, 1868, stands thus:

The reports from the army of the Po-
tomso are more encouraging. The enemy
in their charges and attacks have been sue
cessfully repulsed, and in one instance
eight hundred prisoners and battery were
taken, and the rebels forced back with
great slaughter, leaving their dead and
wounded ia our hands.
A mutiny in Bragg's army is reported.
1t was oocasioned by the Georgia militia,
whose termof service had expired, refus-
ing to remain longer. They stacked their
srms, determined to leave, when Long
streets men fred upon the mutinesrs, kill
ing sixty and wounding two hundred.

Action Of the Cleveland Bar in Regard TO
JndGe Coninberry.
A meeting Of the Cleveland Bar was
held on Thursday afternoon, to take into
consideration the proper course to pursue
in regard to the course taken by Judge
COfinberry during the late campaign. After
expressions Of opinion from several prom
insnt members Of the bar, a resolution was
adopted appointing committee of i've
to investigate facts in regard to Judge
CoHinbsrry's course, and to report the
same with such resolutions as they think
proper" We are glad to see this prompt
a,tion on the part of the bar, and are con-
fdeut that no ether resolutions can be pre-
sented by the committee than decided re-
quest to the Judge to resign the seat he
has disgraced. We regret, exceedingly,
that any member of the bar who slaims to
act with the Union party should have
used his influence to prevent the adoption
of such resolution 1t was no coHdemna-
tiou-simply a resolution Of inquiry to see
il the facts warranted any further action.
How any man even Judge Cofinberry
bimself-could object to this resolution,
unless with desire to screen his conduct
from the worlds beyond our cOmprehen-
sion.
Abundant proof was presented at this
mseiing, that Judge COfinberry had taken
81 active part in the late COpperhesd
demonstration in this city as to stamp and
applaud vigorously the assaults of mis-
cradle Vallandighammer upon the Union
purity, at the same time sfiliating himself
with the speaker and his fellows, by being
upon the stand with them. This conduct,
considering the election of Mr.. COfinterry
by the Union party, is certainly enough
and too much for his loyal constituents.
The apologist above referred TO said that
in this conduct Judge Cofinberry had ex-
ercised the right belonging t. the humblest
person" Very WELL then let the members
of the bar, and all the loyal people of Guy
ahogs, exercise their "right to ask his
resignation of the Office which he received
at their hands by protesting totally oppo-
site sentiments from those which now ac-
tuate him.
