Captain Timmons has been arrested and
coufined in Fort Pickering, and Court will
determine those slandeTs, political" charges
against him. have been well acquainted
ard intimately associated with Captain
Timmons, and never did | hear him utter
a word or express a sentiment that could
be considered dsloyal. True. he has declar-
ed bis intention Of voting for Vallandigham,
and has talked IN avor whenever the sub

can he a soldier and vote the Democratic
/ ticket also. II he does his duty as soldier i.
should make no difference what party he votes
with The whole proceedings against Capt.
| Timmons are In fact purely political. 1t is
simply aD attempt, first, to prevent him from
using his influence in favor OF political cam
tlidate Tor Governor OF Ohio; secondly, 70
crush and disgrace him tor supporting the
Ohio Democratic ticket and to accomplish
both purposes, the aforesaid officers are using
all the military authority which has beer
given them Tor different purpose. No man
in the Ohio Brigade stands higher as an Off
Ger and a gentleman. No one has discharged
his duties as 2 man and an oticer more aIth
fully and completely. This his commanding
officer has frequently admitted, and still ad
mits il; but now, because he desires the elec-
. tion Of the Democratic ticket Ot Ohio. they
Ideliberaty institute code and relentless
prosecution Of their old comrade in arms, OF
charges they know can not be subStantiated
and which are frivslous, if true. The fac
that Captain r., having served in the army
ever since this war began, and having such ;
good lepntatiop, is enough to reute all such
4 charges Officers use their military ranl
and authority to crush him because h'
disagrees wi h them as to the fitness OF tht
candidate for Governor OF Ohio. This is e.

A Col. OF the Ohio Brigads has been heard tt
say it will not do to let Capt Timmons g

it not be fine reply to this spirit oI pollti

every voter near his home in OHIO; thOSt
who know him, as we do, to be true, gal

good reply to those who have lodged him il
Fort Pickering, II they should go to work ii

( additional votes which the Colonel said Tim

acceptance OF his resignation. My opinion
Il, that they will not let him go home or any
other man, until after the election, who
has the coursge to tell the people OF Ohic
the main truth il regard to this transaction
and some Others o. a similar character.
