General Banks, whose visit North seems
TO be devoted to missionary work in the
party, in behalf of the system of
reconstruction he has put in practice il
Louisiana, is out in long and able letter,
six columns, solid, addressed to General
and Senator Jim. Lane, in
which he argues that the whole
question Of reconstruction assails the oil
which Congress passed, and defends the
President for refusing to sign it, and re-
plies to Ben. Wade and Winter Davis: If
the vote of Louisiana would be of the
slightest consequence one way or another
in the Presidential election, there would be
a strong opposition in the Union to Gen.
Banks assumption that the electoral vote
Of Louisiana should be received, but as the
case stands, no attention will be given it.

FRTDAY EORNINe OCT, II.


We publish below the fullest returns yet
received from Ohio giving the home vote
of fifty-one counties and comparing it
with the vote for Secretary of state in 1862.
1t will be seen that these counIies, which
cast nearly tgo-thrds the vote of the
state, give the Union ticket a majority of
I6,457, while in 1862, when, the state went
Democratic by 5,577 majority, they gave
Democratic msjority of 2,s7O, thus exhibit
inga Union gain of Is, ,327. The counties not
yet heard from voted as follows in 1852:
Union, 63,sl9; Democratic, G6,526; Dem
ocratic majority, 2,7O7 Should the Union
gain be in the same ratio throughout the
State as in the counties already heard
from, the Union majority in the counties
yet to come in would reach fully 5000,
giving Union majority in the whole vote
of about "A 900 on the home vote. TIE
official returns will not probably vary two
thousand from the above majority. We
look to the soldiers vote to bring this up
to our estimate, made week before the
election, viz: $4,000 Union majority.

Ohio's Share In the GeneraIship of 1lle
War


War.
The newspapers have Of late abounded
in paragraphs setting forth the numbers Of
Ohio Generals who have held prominent
positions but they have given very incom-
plete statements of what Is really one of
the most sigular phenomena of the war.
An OhiOan commands the armies bsfore
Richmond, all the armies of the United
States and above him there is an Ohio
Secretary Of War. An Ohio commands
the next most important of our armies
that at Atlanta. An Ohioan commands
the next most impOrtant-thAt in the Val
ley. An 0hioan commands the most i'm
portant military department outside the
sphere Of our great armies-the Dev
partment of Missouri. Until he
was summoned to the practical contIol of
the mslitary legislation of the country. an
OhiOan commanded the next most irnpor-
tant dopartment-that of MARYLAND and
Delaware.ss An Ohioan led the first cam
paigns before oshington-unsuccessf
but not without honor. An Ohioau led the
first brilliant campaign through Tennessee
into Alabama. An Ohiosn frittered avaV
those brilliant advantages, and command
cd the Army of Kentucky with good STRAIT
egy, snd bad luck for q year; TO be sue
ceeded by another Ohioan, who at
Stone River and IN the subsequent
campaigns, brilliantly atoned fer the pre-
vious inaction. An Ohioan battered
down Fort Sumter, and did all an army
could do toward taking Charleston. An
Ohioan redeemed and defended West Tir-
ginia; another Ohioan under him. swept
out Kanawha Valley. Another, with an
independent command, did tbe same for
Big Sandy and the mountain region of
Kentucky. Qhioans were the trusted leu
tenants in the Vieksburg campaign, and
an OhiOan was the admired Chief Of Staf
in the subsequent Tennessee Campaigns.
Such are some Of the achievements. Look
at the names' Grant, Sherman, Sheridan,
RosecFansi Sehenck, MDoweIl, Mitchell,
Buell., Gilmore Garfield, Cox, Mcpherson.

yields from thirty to fifty bushels, ten dol
lars a sack would be q recommending price.
The production of this grain the present

As substitute for coffee no parchsd grain

The result in Pennsylvania is at last

had the impudenee to claim for Mcclellan,

4 But few returns have come in to-day,
none of which materially affect former fig
ures, with the exception of Muskingum
County, in which tine highest Copperhead
maiority is Ss instead of 200, as reported.
Most of the Union County ticket is elected
by the home vote, without the soldiers
vote. Our majority in the State will be
about $4,000.
The 1l5th Ohio, Col. Boone, gave 475
Union to 73 votes for the Copperhead
ticket. One of the hospitals at ChattanOO-
ga stood 925 to 2.
One of the best of recent instances of
misplaced confidence is told on Sam Cox.
It appears that some time ago soldier of
the 18th Ohio gave the defunct candidate
to understand that he inten- ed to support
him, and that he possessed some
influence among his comrades. Ac-
cordingly Cog took the hint, and gave
the soldiers fifty dollars for electioneering
purposes. The Steward, in rendering an
account of his stewardship, reported great
success, and limited that more money could
be used to advantage, as there was good
prospect of winning over a majority of the
regiment The money was forthcoming to
the tune of two hundred and fifty dollars,
but on Tuesday it became evident that 1t
had been badly invested, The soldier him
self openly voted the Union ticket, as did
all but few of his regiment.

Where there is any contradiction, we have

WASHINGTON. Oct. I3.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l3.
The death of Chief Justice Taney at a
late hour last night, was surprise to ev-
ery one. He had been i'll for week or
two, but had so often recovered from at
tacks apparently as dangerous, that no
apprehensions we're aroused except in tho
immediate family circle.
The question of successOrship is scarcely
likely to be settled for few weeks.
Men have long been connecting the
name of Ex-Secretary Chase with theplace
now made vacant, and the general belief
here is, as the popular expression through
ont the country undoubtedly will be, that
it will be rendered on the one hand--n
the other that Mr.. Lincoln has differ
ent intentions.
Prominent gentlemen in the Cabinet are
known to have urged on the President last
year, when Taneys illness lead to a dis
cussion of the question, the name of JUS
tice Swain, and the Presidents reply
then is said to have been favorable. Jus
tice Davis, whose influence with the Presi.
dent on such matters is great, and is known
to have made similar suggestions. The
consultations of tho bench have looked to
the same end.
Under all these circumstances, there
fore, tits safe to conclude that in the ina
disposition of this most important office
the nation is nOwise injured.
The death of the Chief Justice was an.
nounced TO the Supreme Court to-day. a
