"FACrIoUs OPPosITIoN,,

II will be remembered that political "conven-
tion "--oomposed according TO tho highest esti-
mates, of sercmteeH persons -aSsemblod IN bar
room at Bowling Green, on the 9th Of June. The
organ of this Clique of Seventeen" informs the
public that it passed resolutions which " can be
Objectionable to no one;" and il requested its Cen
trail Committee to call another convention" on
the 8h of august next, to nominate county ticket
and the organ further says, in speaking OF the com
ing " convention ~
"H poC remains 10 be ,cao ,cW get up tactious
opposition -
We can conceive of no picture equal TO this, un-
less we imagine that the first serenteen Congress
men who seeded from the National Legislature
after the election Of President Lincoln, had met in
some bar-room, and organized themselves into the
{" Congress of the United States of America )" and
passed resolution that they oege TEE "COA-
gress;" and passed numerous other resolutions
that could " be objectionable to no one" and then
sent cut an organ-grnder to declare these things,
and announce
alt now REMAINS To DE SEEN VINO WILL GET Ur
A FACTI0US OPPOSITION"
The fact that three days after the aforesaid bar
room meeting was held, Union Convention num-
bering hundreds Of persons, assembled at Bowling
Green, makes the ono picture appear as ridiculous
to every candid man as the other.

,rrrrp rpoM MIR. ROSS.

: In another place VIC print n second lctser FROM
James w. Ross, Esq, concerning comments wh'ch
We made on his lot,er last week. aud other matters
IA new light" has recently bcen thrown on the
" Agricultural call question, to which We have
referred elsewhere, comment in this connection Is
unnecessary.
Mr.. Ross states that l,e Is " not the leader Of
faction or las We may Justly infer party. ltnot,
by what authority did he issue or propose to with
draw the 9th Of June call 2 Has suy person, polit.
icallv associated with Mr. Ross, the power to issue
and withdraw calls for party conventions Ger
tauly, this is the natural inference whom the act
ing and authorized head Of a party disclaims be-
ing the cader-for II he is notthe leader, his party
evidently has none, and all members may exercise
equal privileges. r....ert s.s..
During the conversation which passed between
Mr. Ross and ourselves, wherein he made the state
ment that he would withdraw his call if Mr.. Las
key would publicly announce that he Intended his
call to include " all loyal Republicans who may
have voted for Mr.. Waite last fall we told him
tn substance that ice so understood the call ot
Mr. Laskey. and that we believed he would be
willing to make the statement, If asked. This,
however, was merely our ewn opinion; we were
authorized and did not pretend to speak for Mr..
l
Laskey we had then no personal acquaintance
with him, and did not feel it our duty to give him
anv advice. or communicate with him on the sub
ioct as we considered that MIR. Laskey and Mr..
Ross were competent to arrange the matter.
! Mr.. Ross asks "Did this assurance Of mine
look like an anti -desirc that all minor differences
be laid aside "''
q" Action, speak louder than cords sod nc
man can rightfully ask to be judged by his words
alone. After stating to Mr.. Ross how we under
| stood the call, and tlat we believed Mr. Laskcy
would make the required statement, is it not faii
to expect that il Mr. Ross desired such statement
he would hold some communication with Mr.. Las
key on the subject? But did hS do so before thC
assembling Of the 9th of June Convention W.
have good authority for saying that hr. Ross die
not even msmtiom the alicct to Mr.. Laskey. And a'
the letter of Mr. Ross implies that the proposition
he mentioned to us was refused, protest that th
representation is unjust both to Mr.. Laskey anc
the Unconditional Union party.
We may Justly infer from tn, letter of Mr.. Ross
that his understanding of Mr. Laskcys call wa
taken in q measure, from statements made on thu
/ streets, by "men who professed to know - Oh
such authority, the call might have been made t.
mean anything or nothing according to tn
whim of any one who "protessed to know" how
Mr.. Laskey wished his call to bo understood. w
believe the call was intended to mean just what
sad-and We further believe that no fair interpre
tation of its language can make it exclude singl
man who is "for the Government without ys o
| butts /" .# #...

Letter from the lSt Ohio Artillery.


q Correspondence of the Perrysburg Journal.l
MuRFREEsBoRo, Tenn, June 4, 1853.
EDS. JoURNAL: am happy to say that General
Negey's division passed on review yesterday; and
of course, Battery G had something to do ON such
an occasion. After preparing for over one week,
we at last appeared before our noble General. The
brigade to which we are attached commanded by
Colonel Miller, comprising four rcgimcns-ISth
Pennsylvania, 2ist and 18th Ohio, and 37th Indi-
ana marched before the cid veteran, RosecranS-
who sat compacently upon his steed, smoking the
stub of cigar. 1t was easily read from his cnun-
tenapce that ere long we should have something to
do-having on former day sent oft overcoats, jack
cts, and extra cqupage, preparatory to all move
ments in this department at this of the year.
Theorder has come, and requires eight days rations
instead of five, AZ on former occasions well
packed i'll hRyersacks and knapsacks. Dcstina
tion unknown-but W. hope little to the west OF
this point; perhaps in the direction Of Vicksburg.
The battery boys are in good spirits, hoping soon
to leave this old field and establish another of more
importance and the necessary preparations hay
ing been made we are readyto start at a moments
notice. . .- .. -- .........
The JoURSM has again made its appearance
here. The boys FROM Wood county welcome it.
Where it will again reach us, it is impossible to
tell.
As duty demands me Al this moment, will close
Cor the present-hoping when we halt TO give yol
full detail of our whereabouts.

SOCIETY," COB
HOUSES KNOCKED DOWN.

In our issue of the Sd inst. we stated our belief
that the "call " for meeting Of the Agricultural
Society, to he held at Bowling Green on the 9th Of
June, was issued as an inducement for people TO
come out that day to the s0-caled Union Con-
reuton-or in other words, that il was an attempt
to "make a political hobby of the Agricultural
Society" We last week published a letter from
Mr. Ross, denying that any such thought was en-
tertained by those at whose instance the Agricul-
tura "call" was issued. We also explained ,ehy
the affair appeared to us in the light represent
ed, and were then willing to leave every man to
draw his own conclusions in the mater-as we had
no desire to do Mr.. Ross injusce and we should
not again refer to it, but for the fact that the last
number of the paper which is the admitted organ
of the clique" has an additional item probably
Intended to further justify the agricultural call !"

charged with doing) cobhouse, and knocked

that tho appearance of the Agricultural call
in the aforesaid organ" was not the fault OF Mr.
Ross, but was the result OF unavoidable neglect on
the part of the writer, and adds

neighbors we desired to see it THE Agricultural

agricultural meeting, Jod icdRed 10 goOdiy

We represented that one Of the objects for is
suing the Agricultural call was that Of getting
people out to the political eonventon-and the
organ of the /" "cque" now regrets that said "call'
was not more extensively circulated, because they
"rantea to goodiy number Of Union togettc'

This is clear though evidently an " accidental
and unfortunate" admission OF all that we charged
or represented We are willing to admit that it
was the intention to have Il consultation concern

mitted that there was desire " to compare riecs

we are willing they should decide whether it does

Sad Occurrence.

Two little boys, children of Mr. Gotlieb Waters,
of this place, were drowned on Monday afternoon,
about O'Clock. near the dock, few rods below
the Touring mill of Peck 4 Averill. The names
of the boys were Henry and Ferdinand, and were
aged respectively eight and ten years. They went
into the water, in company with number of other
boys about their age, for the purpose oflearning
to SWIM and getting beyond theiF depth, and I'M
able to swim, they sank. Those in company with
them were alike powerless TO render them any aid,
and from some cause failed to make the occurrence
known for some time afterward. As soon as the
sad casualty became generally known, num-
bsrs of our citizens immediately repaired 10 the
scene of the occurrence, and various efforts were
Immediately put forth for the recovery of the bod
les. About four o'clock the body OF one was found,
aud about an hour thereafter the other was like
wise recovered. The place where they went
down is quite deep, aud upon the bottom is sunk
en- log. They we're found, one upon each side Of
this log. This sad and sudden bereavement was
a severe blow TO the afflicted parents, and we trust
the lamentable occurrence viii prove a salutary
lesson to the many small lads of our place yho are
in the habit of spending SO much OF their time in
the river.

The follJwng resolutions were presented and
adopted, showing clearly the loyal sentiment which
ruled the Convention . ...
WHEREAS, Our Sabbath schools are largely rep
resented in the army and navy OF our country, and
former associates in the Sabbath-S school work,
superntendents, teachers and scholars, now in the
service cheerfully and herocally bearing the bur
dens of duty and suffering, fighting for the flag, and
living by the cross.
Rcsolred, That the Ohio State Sabbath-school
Convention in session at Dayton, express its cor
dial greetings and earnest sympathies with our
brethren in the camp and On the deck.
2. That we urge upon every Sabbath school to
open and sustain correspondence with its absent
members, to cheer and encourage the loved ones
amid the trials and difficulties of active service, or
langushing in the hospital.
3. That we earnestly desire that all the childron
of our brave soldiers and noble sailors should be
gathered with the Sabbath-schoo fold and taught
the way Of salvation.
A. That we would encourage all Of our soldiers
and sailors who have drilled in the Sunday school
army home, TO fall into line in the camp on tho
deck, establish Bible school, and sustain it for
the spiritual benefit of themselves and their com
rades
On the State Statistical Committee, which was
appointed, we notice the name of our friend, 5. l..
Boughton, of Bowling Green.
We regret that we have not room for eI-
tended report. On the whole, it was model Con
venton. Every thing connected therewith passed
off tremendously, and TO the entire satisfaction OF
every friend of the Sunday School. Its influence
will be most salutarY, and we trust that it will be
the means of giving fresh and powerful impetus
to tho Sabbath School cause not only in our OWL
State, but throughout our sister States. ...
