UNION srATE ooNyENr1oN.


To-day we place at the head Of our
columns the ticket nominated by the
Unipn State Convention which assem-
bled at Columbus, on Wednesday the
25th ult. With some Of the men we
aro-p personally acquainted and know
them to be men of first class ability and
first class loyalty The whole ticket
is composed of men of unquestioned
ability, patriotism and moral worth
The Convention was harmonious and
enthusiastic throughout, and we find
nothing connected with it to condemn
except the action Of the Committee on
Resolutions. The following resolution,
endorsing Secretary Chase, was offer
ed, in Committee, by Chaplain Gaddis,
of Cincinnati, and, after some discus
sion, SO modified as to mean nothing
and endorse nobody:
Resolved, That Ohio regards, with
proud approval, her distinguished citi-
zen, Salmon P. Chase, who, during the
most gigantic civil war ever known,
has SO controlled and directed the
finances Of the nation, as to supply the
necessities Of the contest, sustain the
credit of the Government and proscrvc
a healthful condition of the currency
and business of the people"
Now, if there is one man Of whom
Ohio is proud, that man is Salmon P
Chase, and yet Committee of Ohio
Union men, appointed by an Ohio
Union Convention, could be found,
which, through political cowardicc OF
somc personal feeling, refused to give
him tbatpraise which the nation does
and which history will accord to him.
The following resolutions, offered by
Hon. BENZ. STANTON, were unanimous
ly adopted:
l. Resolrcd, That the people Of Ohio
in Convention assembled, solemnly ro
new the pledges heretofore made tc
the country that they will in tho fu'
turo as they havo in the past sustain
tho Government with all their re
sources Of men and money in suppres
sing thcwickcd and atrocious rebellion
against tho Constitution, the Union
and the laws.
2. Resolved, That the loyal popular
instinct Of tho people in demanding th'
reelection Of Abraham Lincoln to tn,
Presidency illustrates the highest wis
dom, and that in obedience to it thi
Convention cordially recommends tt
the National Union Convention hi
denomination.
3. Resotved, That we congratulate
r the country upon the brilliant success
Of our arms, and mako acknowledgment
Of our gratitude to the army and nav,
oftho United States for their past scr
| vices, which we accept as Il guarante
that, under Providence, final victor,
will speedily come, and this rebellion
be forever crushed.
4, Resolved, That with just pride W
proclaim the fact that in the cabinet
in tho field and in the councils Of tn
} nation, the ability, fidelity and patriot
, ism Of Ohio have been proudly mani
fest.
5. ReSolUed, That the Conventio
hereby pledges the cordial support {
the Union men Of Ohio to the grca
, measures which have marked the ad
ministration Of Abraham Lincoln, an
! especially do We approve the pondin

THE SENEN-THiRIi GOV NERHMENI LOAN.
The secretary of tho Treasurer has made an
appeal to the people for u loan Of two hundred
millions OF dOllars. THIS appeal although re-
sponded TO promptly 10 some secuons, has been
received with different feeling IN rome others,
This, il seems TO us, IS grave mistake. The
Government is III debt, aud 1t must have MONEY
10 pay the soldiers in the field the sailors on
the ocean, and to meet tue current daily eIpeu-
ses incurred, Congress has made tue uppro-
pratlons. 1t will never do for the people who
own the government to say that Individually
they will not pay the debts contracted by their
representatives assembled IN Washington. This
is reputation, and reputation is disgrace the
world over. Ii the people think that the money
which has been appropriated hae been 5quan-
dered reCklessiy, ii they believe the war might
have been avoided with the exercise of the Ordi-
nary wisdom, or conducted with more energy
and more SUCCESS they have the remedy ia then
own hands, and that remedy is to change lheiI
representatives, in Congress and select neN

"Since moving north Of the river our losses

towards Petersburg, meeting the enemy early in
his advance. He had considerable fighting dur
ing the day, suffering some loss, aud inactng
loss upon the enemy. have no report showing
the extent Of our losses but judge them to be
light from the dispatches Some Of the enemy's
wounded fell into our hands, and few other
prisoners.

A WRONG IMPRESSION. = An impression
exiStsin the minds of some, that person
drafted since the Gath of February and paid
Communication money, is not liable to draft
for three years. This is a wrong impression.
By reference to the Act approved by the
President on the oath of February last, aud
which WAS published in this paper on the
lst day of March, officially, by authority of
the State Department, it will be found that
the payment Of the commutation money, by
any person drafted since that date, only
serves to relieve such person from draft in
filing that quota. The fifth section says -
"If any person shall hereafter pay money Jo'
she prOeuration Of substitute, under the pro
visions of the Act TO which this is al amend
ment, such Payment Of money shall operate oni!
to relieve such person from DRAFT in filling tha
| quota and his name shall be retained Oh
the roll in filling future quotas"
Under this section OF the law the name o
every man drafted in May OR June last, o
subsequently, and paid commutation none
will be put in the wheel on the 9th of Sep
tember next, should draft take place an
will be required to do military duty if drll
ed for one year or furnish substitute.
