CINCINNATI, September 70. 1854.
It Is stated that General Sherman has writ
ten letter to o well known gentleman of In
dianapolis declining ito permit the Indiana
troops in his command to come home to Indi-
ana to vote at the coming election. The Gem
eral comments severely upon the course of cer-
tain parties to inveigle the army into the polit-
ical arena, and declines to give it any counte-
nance whatever. His letter, if published,
would be severe blow to the party in power.
Why don't the Lincolnites bring out
Sherman's letter. Let the people see it.
We know what Sherman thinks of the me-
gro. We would now like to see his opin-
ion Of the radical politicians of Indiana.

Decision by the War De-
parlment.

Hitherto it has been held that an officer
accepting promotion was bound to service
for an additional three years from the new
muster. This fact has been found to have
operated periodically to the interest of the
army, and the feeling of the officers was
becoming 80 strong in opposition to it, that
the War Department. with the full con-
currence of Lieutenant General Grant, has
issued the following circular upon the
subject, which has already produced its
healthful effects Throughout all the armies
operating against Richmond. This is the
first transmission of the order to the pub
lie for general perusal: I'll

An Example or Two.

We recommend the loving to the
Press for general put lication, as SAM
pie of how "the South are supporting
MCCLELLAN" The Mobile Register of the
18th ult has the following on this subject
Gen. Mcclellan is totally unfit for and une.
quail to the representative position he occupies,
and we believe he has by that single letter
broken down the hopes and plans of the great
and promising party which was weak enough
to choose him for its standard bearer. We GER
tainly hope so. Lincoln is far better for us than
Mcclellan, and an open and consistent though
bitter and cruel enemy, is rather to be desired
than q false or hypocritical friend or enemy.
So far as their purposes and ultimate results
affect the South there is nothing to choose bes
tween them. Both are bent on subduing us to
their will and depriving US of our indepen-
dence The one would whip US for the pur-
pose Of stealing our property and gratifying
his vengeance and the other would whip us to
inspire our hearts with love for the Union and
force US to consent to re-alliance with our
dear "brethren" of the North. Both seek
to ravish from us that, without which prop
erty and life itself would be valueless:
our independence, our right to govern
ourselves, and to hold up our heads like men,
and say we acknowledge no masters on earth,
much less Yankee masters. Indeed, in one re-
6peCC, Lincoln Is more merclIul III Ills Terms
than Mcclellan. The latter will cease to make
war on any State and restore it to the Union
when it lays down its arms and chooses to re-
turn to the Yankee embraces. Lincoln does
better, for he will take State back and par
don it wher one-tenth of its population so
elect.
1t is gratifying to see the complete &C
cord existing between rebels and abolition
lists on the subject of Gen. MCCLELLAN.
The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, of a
late date, talks this way:
From McClellan's letter of acceptance we
gather that he IS perhaps the most dangerous ad.
versary zoe could possibly hare to deal NTH. Con-
Citation, unluckily, goes very far with weak
kneed brethren, and with respect to the new
nominee it is only the saliva of anaconda prior
to swallowing. Curious readers Of the WAN
dering Jew" may discover that in the choice
between Abe and Mac, we have the violence of
Father d'Argringy and the slight persuasive
ness of Father ROdin. Of the two alternatives,
we have the less to tear from violence.
Union or war! This is the monstrous paradox
of Chicago. It is well for US to shut our eyes
to all external aid, trusting solely and gener-
ously on our own valor and fortitude.

Advice to Old Line Wings.

The Louisville Journal, in the course of
an article eulogistic of Mr.. W1NTHRoP's
speech, Gays:
The Wing who now refuses to act with the
Democratic party is an apostle. He refuses to
stand just where he has always stood. He re-
nounces his principles. He deserts his colors.
He turns his back upon the wise teaching and
high example of Clay and Crittenden. Such a
man has no shadow of right to be called or to
call himself Wing. Ifhe is an honest man,
and understands the force of language he will
neither claim nor accept the honored name.

ON THE DEFENSIVE.

The Enterprise, with more Judgment
than It has exhibited for some time past,
has abandoned the offensive, ceased firing
stink-pots of calumniation at long range,
retired into its last line of intrenchments,
and stands on the defensive. It occupies
the best portion of two columns this
morning in repelling the charges of cop
perheadism which, we must admit, have
been strong enough for the past week to
demand serious attention. Its answers,
thus far, SAVIOR more of the pot and kettle
order than real clearing up of its own
record, but We hope that after it has, in
that manner, spiked the guns of the Union
and PiEte. it will succeed in completely
establishing its own soundness. We shall
be pleased at the establishment of the fact
that the entire press of Virginia has been
all along sound on the Union question,
and that the suspicion Of apprehension
which has attached in certain quarters,
has resulted from lame way of showing
political soundness, rather than any &C
tual deficiency of that essential virtue.

TIMES AT REESE RIVER.

The RereiRe speaks cheerfully of the
present and hopefully of the future Of the
Reese River District. While we begin to
see light through the cloud that has been
hanging over US, we are rejoiced to learn
that matters look well in other portions of
the Territory. The RepeiHe says:
1t is evident that, dull as times have been,
and still are here, there has been really more
life, more vitality, more gentle simmering Of
business in this district, than in any other
mining community. The mines that are in
any degree developed, are taking out consid-
cradle ore all the time, or where they are not
doing this, it is in full view, while they are
engaged in explorations about the mine, and
can return to lucrative work at any moment.
Bullion is daily been shipped, improvements
in the town are continually advancing, from
any elevated point adobe or wooden houses
can be counted by the dozen in the process of
erection, fine brick is being made and ex-
posed for sale-the lumber dealers are active
the mills are all busy day and night, up and
down the canon their noise and clatter may
always be heard. Socially too, there is more
stir. The saloons, so dull and vacant a few
weeks ago, have taken new lease oflife, and
swarm Of evenings, as of old; there is more
hustle on the streets people have money for
Injuries the Fast Freight Line cannot sup
ply the demand for luscious fruits and healthy
vegetables. While in vegetables, by the way,
our own gardeners are exhibiting results In
most varieties Of green stuff, which prove our
district not inferior TO California in richness
Of garden soil.
Many residents of this county are d.
rectly and deeply interested in the pros
perity of the Reese country, and will be
pleased at the encouraging statements OF
the local organ.

AWAITING THE RESULT.

We are informed by gentleman OF
this town. who has just returned from
San Francisco, and the nature of whose
business is such as to afford him positive
Information upon the subject, that there
are now in that city fifteen millions of
capital awaiting the result of the coming
elections. If the people elect to remain
n Territory, or if voting for State Gov
eminent, that government is to be under
Copperhead rule, not one dime OF that
capital will find its way across the Sier-
ras. The heads of the capitalists are
sound. Capital needs and demands the
fullest protection of a stable government,
wholesome and just laws, an honest ju-
dietary, and reliable executive officials,
and it will go where those Indispensable
can be found. Capital is Of 10 nation or
political creed, it is cosmopolitan; and
that government which affords it the
greatest security is the government which
capital seeks. The Territorial form of
government with which we are now
cursed, is, has been, and ever would re-
main a perpetual barrier and a natural
one against the influx of that capital with
out which the resources of the country
must remain forever undeveloped. Should
Nevada become a State, as beyond doubt
it will, and should its government be
placed in the hands Of reliable and loyal
men, giving assurance of peace, order and
the protecting arm of the whole nation
thrown around life and property, this
vast amount of dormant capital will flow
in upon US, the young State will arouse
itself from its lethargy and stagnation,
and more solid and substantial activity
and prosperity ensue than the country has
ever known. But, if the government of
the new State shall fall into the hands of
the Copperhead gang, who are now grasp
ing for the reins of rule, if this remote re-
gion is to be made colony of the South
ern Confederacy, Its soil the nome, ana
its property the plumber Of the scattered
hordes of every defeated Southern Army,
and every disbanded guerrilla troop; if
its legislation is TO be founded on the re-
bellious and anarchical dogma of Estate
Rights" and opposition and resistance to
the Federal Government, capital will shun
it as the instinct of animated creation
shuns destruction. This is plain state
ment of the facts, as to the relations be-
tween capital, prosperity and the politics
of the new State. The reasonableness of
the relation should be apparent to every
reasoning mind. To men Of that stamp
of mind, we state the facts and address the
warning.

A ROARING row IN THE Buzz
Yards Ro0ST. {

As might have been expected from the
discordant elements composing the Trai-
tors Fandango at Chicago, there was what
might be termed " the devil to pay and no
pitch hot" The great animating sentiment
of that terrestrial he'll was hatred - hatred
of the Nation, hatred of the Union, hatred
of the old Flag. hatred of Lincoln, hatred
of every man wearing the National uni
form, and hatred Of each other. There
was no spark of patriotism to render the
darkness visible. They had no single
feeling in common save the feeling OF hate,
they had no common cause, and could find
no common standpoint. They could
agree upon nothing; they did agree upon
nothing, and that nothing was Mcclellan
who in political point of view comes
nearer to the definition of " nothing " than
the old one of ga footless stocking with
out any leg" How near he came to suit
ing the gang who "cry peace, peace, when
there is no peace" may be gathered from
the remarks of Harris, Of Maryland, who
refusing to swallow the gag, as was done
by the majority, shot his mouth off and
spoke the real sentiments of the modern
Democracy. When Harris spoke, then
spoke the soul of John B. Weller, the
NIexican-killer, and nine-tenths OF the
balance of the gang. Read the following !;
twas then moved to proceed to the NOM
nation of a candidate for President.
Stockton of New Jersey nominated George
b. Mcclellan, which was seconded by Cox OF
Ohio.
Salisbury of Delaware nominated Governor
Powell, Of Kentucky. i,
Powell returned thanks, but firmly believed
that the crisis demanded that the candidate
should come from a non-slaveholding State.
Believing it to be so desired, he withdrew his
name.
Stewart of Ohio nominated Thomas IL.
Seymour, of Connecticut. -.
Wickliffs Of Kentucky nominated Franklin
Pierce.
Harris Of Maryland seconded the nomina-
ton of Seymour, and proceeded to eulogize
his party services and abilities. He de-
nounced Mcclellan as tyrant. He it was
who first initiated the policy by which our
rights and liberties were stricken down. His
remarks created some excitement, and for
the remainder Of the session considerable
confusion prevailed. He read McClellan's
order for the arrest Of the Maryland Legisla-
ture, and proceeded to comment on the same.
The confusion was so great that the speakers
remarks could not be heard for some time.
The President insisted that the Convention
should come to order.
Harris proceeded to say-McClellan had
assassinated State rights and was a usnrper
of civil liberties, and that, II nominated, he
would be beaten everywhere. He would not
himself vote for him.
Carri2an OF Pennsylvania raised point Of
order-that the gentleman having said he
would not vote for Mcclellan, had no right to
a seat in the Convention.
The President decided the point OF order
well taken, and amidst great confusion Har-
ris aetired from the stand.
Street of the Marysville Express, in his
inmost soul abhorring the War Democ-
racy, will henceforth adore Harris Of
Maryland.

MrLLuEN vs.. RANeHNEN.-TheC Carson
Post of last evening gives the proceedings
before the District Judge, at chambers. in
the Carson River water cases. Eight re-
straining orders having been issued, at the
instigation of the millmen, on Carson
river, to the ranchmen. to show cause why
they should not be peIpetually restrained
from diyerting the water of the stream
from its natural channel, and set for hear
ing to-day. On the cases being called,
parties were not ready for trial, and all
went over to the regular term Of Court
except one, entitled: Rice ct al. VS.. Daug-
hey, which was set for Monday next.
The effect of passing these cases until the
regular term is to leave the orders in force,
but we suppose that at this time the water
is not wanted by the ranchmen, and the
trial of Monday will settle the principle
involved and govern the decisions in the
other cases. The issue is of vast impor-
lance to both parties, and will probably
be warmly contested. We shall endeavor
to give full report Of the trial.

short time since, gentleman writing for

whether that gentleman was the author Of
the shallow article of this morning, and
whether he would have the face to stand
before any court in the world and risk bis
legal reputation upon the proposition 50
