Judge Baron, of the Fifth Judicial District
of New York has decided that person enlis-
ting in the service of the Government and af-
terwards deserting, can be held as a soldier
and compelled TO serve, although under 18
years of age; that parties enlisting and swear
ing as they do that they are over l8, and re-
ceive the bounty, cannot afterward be allowed
to plead their own perjury and permitted to
escape the service they have voluntarily en-
tered upon.
Among the prominent speakers at the re-
cent Peace Convention in Springfield Illinois
was Ex-Governor John Reynolds, of St. Clair
County. In February, 1861, the same Ex-
Gov. ohm Reynolds wrote letter to Isaac
H. Sturgeon, Assistant U. S. Treasurer at
St. Louis, urging him to join the rebel JEFF
Davis and bis reasonable followers.
DR.. Hollingsworth, Of North Lewis6urg,
was killed about mile and half north of
Allen Centre, in this county, on Monday last
week. under the following circumstances: He
was passing along the road through the woods,
on horseback, where man was engaged in cut
ting down a tree. He waited few moments
to see it fall. 1t fell in a contrary direction,
causing the horse to make sudden spring,
and precipitating the rider upon the ground.
He was so severely injured by the fall that he
lived only about three hours afterwards

The removal Of Gen. HooKER from the COM
mand of the army of the Potomac, occurring
at the time it did, took the country by sur
prise. There were doubtless good reasons for
the removal, but what they are is matter Of
conjecture. 1t is by some of the Washing
ton letter writer's asserted that it was on ac-
count of his intemperance, which is said to
have increased of late to an extent rendering
him entirely unsafe for so important position
-otbers allege that it was on account of his
failure to so handle his men as to head Lee off
in his attempts upon Maryland aud Pennsylva
MIA while the New York Herald correspondent
gives the following explanation of the change
which may or may not be true. Referring to
the visit of Gen. Hooker to Washington on
the 2Sth ult, the writer says,
The object of his visit was to inquire into
the propriety of evacuating the Maryland
Heights, (opposite Harpers Ferry.) He sent
for COL Reynolds, our able Engineer, and ask
ed him what object there was IN holding the
Heights The Colonel replied that he had Of
ten asked the same question and never got a
satisfactory answer. Hooker then issued an
order that the place should be evacuated by
| o'clock the next morning, and that such guns
as could not be taken away should be destroy
ed, and the stores removed. Immediately af-
terwards he informed Gen. Halleck OF what
he had done whereupon, he received a dis
patch countermanding the order, and saying
the Notifications had cost too much to be Civ
en- up unless under the most urgent necessity
He (Halleck) considered Harper's Ferry to be
the key to the present and future operations
of the Army of the Potomac. Hooker's com
ment upon this was natural enough, viz: wv hal
is the use in holding on to the key after the
door is smashed ?" While on his way bacl
from here he received an order from Washing
ton removing him from the command, and
placing Gen. Meade in his stead.

MAJOR GENERAL George G. MEADE
This able and experienced officer, who has
been promoted to the chief command of the
Army of the Potomac, was born in Spain in
1916, entered the Military Academy at West
Point from the District of Columbia, and
was graduated there in 1889 and appointed
I'd Lieutenant in the Sd Artillery, resigned
his commission Oct 26, 1886, was appointed
I'd Lieutenant in. the Typographical Engi-
neers May I9 1842. was breveted lst Lieu
tenant for gallantry at Monterey in 1876, be-
came lst Lieutenant in August, 1851, Cap
tain, May l9, 1856, Major in June, 1862, and
Brigadier General of Volunteers August 81,
1852. Few officers have performed more ar.
duous duties or rendered more distinguished
and faithfui service to the country since the
commencement of the war In the seven
days fight before Richmond, Gen. Meade
was struck by ball, which entered his side
and passed through his body, making severe
and painful wound. Under tender and skilful
treatment he rapidly recovered, and it was
scarcely known that he had left his couch
when he was in his saddle ready to take part
in the sanguinary battles of South Mountain
and Antietam. In these engagements he
commanded the Pennsylvania Reserves, a
corps whose reputation for courage and disci-
pline has been surpassed by none. He was
with that corpse in the battles at DrainsviIle,
on the Ghickahominy and in Maryland
When Gen. Hooker was wounded at Antie-
tam. General Mcclellan placed General
Meade in command OF the corps which had
just been deprived of its heroic leader. Du-
ring the action General Meade received a
slight confusion from a spent grape-shot, and
had two horses killed under him. He distin-
guished himself greatly during the battle, be-
ing in the thiekest of the Eight encouraging
his men by his deeds of daring and valor, At
Fredericksburg he maintained his reputation
for GOODNESS, courage and skill, winning the
unstinted applause Of the army and the hear
ty congr atulations of a grateful and apprecia-
tive people.-(New York Tribune

COLUMBUS. O., June II, 1868.

COLUMBUS, O., June II, 1868.
Hon. John Brough, ClsUeland. o:
The people Of Ohio, who are loyal to the
Constitution of the United States as interpre-
ted by its immortal trainers. have just spoken
their sentiments in a delegated capacity, on
the vital issues of the day through one of th
most animated, the most earnest and most i'm
portant Conventions eyer held in this State.
The people had Just been startled at the de-
iant action of men of unworthy ambition,
of desperate political fortunes, who, but few
days since, having deluded adhersnts OF their
party, to array the nselves against the cousti-
tuted authorities, had nominated for Cover
nor an undisguised contemner of official or
ders.
In their insane forgetfulness of patriotic du-
ty, these political managers censpired to pro-
mote to the high Office of Commander-inC Chief
of the military forces of Ohio, one who glories
! in having opposed force to armed rebellion;
thus insulting the one hundred thousand SOL
diers of the State now defending the Consti-
| tuition in the field.
Inspired with the loftiness of the great oc-
casion, desiring to cast away embarrassment
of all political trammels and foregoing all pre-
dilections, as band of brothers, loyal citizens
and soldiers have united in the great peoples
movements to aid the President summarily
to crush out the rebellion. In this spirit the
Convention performed its high mission to-day.
1t reflected the popular heart in summoniDg
you, sir, from your personal engagements to
devote your time and talents as standard bear
er oe the National Uuionists of Ohio before
the people of this State
You have oeen duly nominated the Union
candidate for Governor of Ohio, and we are
instructed to convey to you the earnest request
T of the Convention that you accept the nomin-
alton.
. The State of Ohio is in the center ofthe Re
public-it is in the pathway of commerce be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacifc-her gigantic
interests are all bound up in the perpetuation
of the Union The enemies of national gov
= ernment would break up the States into two
, Confederacies, leaving the United States con
fined to thread of territory within Ohio, be-
tween the lakes and the Ohio river.
, The people are loyal, and will scout infdel
| ity to the sublime principles of national uni
ty.
f Your patriotic determination to aid the ma
5 ticna authorities to secure a complete anC
f honorable triumph over rebellion binds you
: and the people of Ohio in a common cause
cooperating with the National Executive
during the pending struggle to save the Con
stitution and the Union.
Believing, most cordially, that the people
will secure to you and your colleagues, ma
jority vote unprecedented in the history of tht
State, we subscribe ourselves, for the Conven
ton, officially,

escape from shipboard while in transit from

has been re-captured, after twenty-four hours
sojourn in the water. The circumstances of
of its escape are as follows:
The hippopotamus and the big elephant be-
longing to the Combination Show" were
placed on board the propeller S. D. Caldwell
at Buffalo on Saturday night-it being i'm
practicable to convey them by railroad-and
embarked for Detroit. A place was arranged
on deck for their accommodation, aud all
went along smoothly until Sunday morning,
when within some six or eight miles of the
mouth of the Detroit river, where the Hippo
potamus, taking it into his head that be would
enjoy bit of swim, walked through the
bulwarlls as if they were nothing more than
bit of brown paper, and fCundered into the
water-and thus disappeared $780, at one
plunge. The propeller was hove to, and re-
maned near the spot for over an hour, but
"Hippy" was not seen again. a small boat
containing Ali, his keeper, end some assis-
tants, was left to continue the search
The Hippopotamus was recaptured, with
out much effort, on Monday, about six miles
from Detroit and placed again in his quarters.
