Last night an earnest and enthusiastic
meeting Of Ohio officers was held, for the
purpose Of taking some measures to show
the sentiment that exists in This army with

adoption Of dish. norable compromises and
the incipient treasoa which has developed
itself in the North. The utmost unanimity
prevailed, and a committee was appointed to
draft an address, to be presented to all the
Ohio regiments for their adoption or rejcc-
ton. The following persons constituted the
committee:
Col. W. Il. Walker, list; Co.. E. II.
Phelps. 50; Col. j. NJ. ConnclI, 18th, and
Lieut.. Col. +. w. Lester, 17th Ohio
Col. Connc!l, a lie long Democrat. drew
up the resolutions, which were heartily en-
dorsed by all members of the Committee
both Democrats and Republicans. 1t has
al ready been presented to half dozen regi
mcn.s, and not single man has yet failed
to endorse it,
The cheers with which the address was
received by the Ohio regiments, this evening
would have sent thrill Of. joy to the heart
OF every loyal man in She country.
The address begins by ignoring all party
politics, declaring only for the Government Mt
of the United States. 1t asks with carncs,

throw obstacles in the way Of the earnest
prosecution OF this war, whose sole object
is the preservation OF tho Republic from
those who, by armed force, are seeking to
destroy it. Q n any portion Of the people
