OHIO AND VIRGINIA.

The Central State of Ohio has produced an
extraordinary number of the great military
leaders of this war. Lieut.. Gen. Grant, corn-
handing all our armies, is a native. of Ohio
Mai. Gen. Sherman, commanding our great ar
my in Georgia, is a native of Ohio. Maj. Gen.
Sheridan, the dashing campaigner and scientific
soldier of the Shenandoah Valley, is native Of
Ohio. Besides these, our most prominent Gen
erals at present, Gen. ROsecrans is native OF
Ohio, and so is Gen. Gillmore and the list Of
eminent MILITARY officers from that State might
be greatly extended. There is evidently large
brain and good blood in the Buckeye State.
About as large proportion of the rebel mill
tary leaders are natives of the State of Virginia,
Which borders on Ohio for great distance
We lately got from Richmond a copy of a badly
printed and stupid book, entitled the HWar and
its Heroes and by this it appears that. from
Cen Lee down to Mosby about fOur-ffths Of
the most noted Confederate army chiefs were
natives of the Old DominiOn.-N Z. Times.

not the man who has done the most, the most
entitled to theml Lincoln has done much more
than Mcclellan. The army looks upon the sup
pOrters of Mcclellan as those opposed to the
war and YOU may point them to his letter as
you please. The soldiers viii regard every vote
cast for him as given against the war and in IA
yor of peace-as given TO endorse the insult and
libel that the war is failure, and that all the
haFdships and dangers they have endured have
been useless and wrong. Do you think the in
telligent, brave and patriotic men who have
gone out-life in hsnd-to defend your homes,
will ever vote To endorse such, a thing as thisG

But Mcclellan, as President, would be power
less without Cabinet and a majority in Con-
gress agreeing with him. The men who made
the platform are the ones who viii control the
party, and they would have the majority in

Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, have Weare
informed definitely determined to hold Mass
Convention at Cincinnati, on Tuesday October

AN APPEAL.

To Republicans and War Democrats =
to all staunch friends of the Union cause,
by whatever political names they are call
ed-to all good citizens who heretofore
have cheerfully sustained the Government
in its efforts to conquer its enemies-we
make an earnest and solemn appeal to heal
all past divisions, and, lin spite ofthe apathy
and lukewarmness of the past few months,
now to close the ranks, and heneeforward
to march shoulder to shoulder to the great
struggle of November next Let there be
no disafection in the only party compe-
tent to save the country. Let such aliena-
tions as now exist be straightway forgotten.
If the Baltimore Convention was held too
early, it is too late now to remedy that
misfortune. If the Presidential candidate
was not the best that might have been
named, it is too late now to change our line
of battle in face of the enemy. The one
and undivided duty of all loyal men is now
to unite cordially, strenuously, enthusias-
tically to give victory to the platform and
candidates of Baltimore, and overwhelrn-
ling defeat to the platform and candidates
of Chicago. Between the two, the choice
is between patriotism and treason, between
Slavery and Liberty, between country
and no country, between Jefferson Davis
and Abraham Lincoln. "Choose ye this
day whom We will servep ie
The prospect ofvietory is brilliant. The
outrageous character of the Chicago plat
form, and the sunshiny effect of our late
victories by land and sea, have rekindled
the old enthusiasm in loyal breasts, We
summon all our friends to hard work. Or
game! The cause demands every mans
best service. Let every loyalist with a
tongue in his head go to every doubtful
man in his neighborhood, and reason the
case with him earnestly and candidly. All
men who will listen to reason can be made
to see the Chicago scheme for the over
throw of the Republic. Nor are ministers
in their pulpits to be exempt from this
needed service. Letthem take fit and ear
ly opportunity to make known the christian
duties of citizen to his country in such
crisis as this. Ifany pew7holder is afraid
of politics in the pulpit, and stays away on
that account, let not the minister be out
witted by this poor stratagem, but imme-
diately visit him at his store or house-in
no cause letting any man find a corner Of
refuge from the searching argument and
appeal. If every good citizen shall do his
duty for the next two months, there will
then follow long years of Peace and Liber-
ty, in which to reflect on the sweetness of
having served ones country at time when
she most needed service, God save. the

s|The truth is that neither you nor / nor

She is shrewd old woman. A young
sprig of lawyer stepped up one day and

old lady tried to take the measure of her
customer, and find out whether his taste
was for sweet or sour apples. why, sir
she said they are rather acid a.sort of low

PadIocked PendIatan

1t is now shown that 1t was q part of the
Democratic plsIsthat Mr.. PendletOn should have
no official not 6cation of his nomination, and
no opportunity to express his ideas Of political
policy in accepting it. The Democratic Jour
nails attempt to explain this by the assertion
that Mr.. PendletOn was in the Convention, and
there accepted the nomination. But this is not
true, for there is nothing in Mr.. Pendleton's
response to the call of the members but thanks
for the compliment; and the Convention did
not so understand it. for it thereupon resolved
that committee be appointed to notify the
candidates" of their nomination" That COM
mittee has refused to dol its duty
The reason is, Mr.. Pendleton has publicly de-
clared in favor of stopping all attempts to pre-
serve the Union by authority, and in favor of
making peace with the COnfederacy as an inde-
pendent power, if the Confederates insist on
separation; and in any letter of acceptance that
he could write, he could take no other ground,
nor talk Of war to preserve the Union in any
event, without Standardization. Therefore the
| Democratic conspiratOrs have deliberately sup
pressed Mr.. PendletOn. The affair presents a
| queer collection of mOnstrosities- A military
| failure for a war candidate for the Presidency,
on peace-and- surrender platform, and seees-
sion peace candidate for the Vice Presidency,

from the Federal army which was under the
command Of Col Patterson, of the 9th Ind,

guard Withdrew at the same time. During the
truce the officers aud men Of the detailed guard
visited each other at quarters and became quite
intimate and upon very good terms. i hardly

some Of the results of The truce. @s'-
The guard detailed by them to that duty was
composed of picked men and officers from Har-
dees corps, and consisted of 100 men besides
officers. Ofthese men, whom it is fair to pre-
sumo were selected with reference to their fdel-
ity, one hundred did not return. ,Desertions
took place notwithstanding great precautions
and surveillance. An officer of the guard was
overheard in the expression of his opinion ol
