The loss Of this gallant officer will be
felt throughout the army and the country.
The Army Of the Potomac has suffered no
greater loss since its organization. He
did not fall as he would have chosen, in
the whirl of fiery battle, but by the hand
of murderOus sharpsbooter. The follow
ing sketch of his services will be read with
great interest:
He was the soldier who by the eager
testimony of all who knew him, Of all
Generals above him and beneath him, was
most distinguished by indomitsble ten
scity Of purpose, and by the ability t. do
more with a given force than any other
oommsnder-to carry it further on the
march, to hold it longer against an over
Whelming attack, 10 lead it more surely on
an enterprise which any other will than
his would have deemed forlorn, to win vic
tory out of defeat, and to cherish an elastic
hope amid the most depressing discourage
ments. We know not where TO look for
his successor. Il was he who gave its
name to the ''Fighting Sixth" Who shall
perpetuste it
John SedgWick WAS born in Connecticut
in 1917, was graduated in West Point in
1887, went into the artillery, was made
first Lieutenant in 1889, won 8 brevet as
Captain for gsllsntry at Contrerss and
Cherubusco, and IS Major in the battles Of
Molino del Rey, Chepultepec, and the San
Cosmo Gate, received his commission as
Captain n l849, was made Major in the
lst Cavalry in 1866, Colonel Of the 4th
Cavalry in 1861, Brigsdier General Of Vol.
unteers in the same year, August A, and
Major General July 4, 1852. In that brief
detail Of facts is crowded the gsllantry Of
a life devoted to the military service Of his |
country, and finally laid down to ssveit.
or his career in the Army of the Poto-
mac it is enough to say that he fought with /
high distinction in every battle from which |
his wounds did not keep him away. He rose |
stesdi y, and was SUCCESSFULLY appointed |
TO the command of brigade, 8 division |
and corps in spite Of q modesty which |
led him 20 underrate his own ability and /
to profess himself content with subordinate /
command. On the Peninsula he was twice
severely wounded At Antietam he led a
division in Summers sorps, and clung to
the field until he had received three wounds.
On his recovery he was assigned 70 com
nsnd the 9Th Corps, was subsequently,
transferred to the 5tb, and finally to The
jth, which he has never since forsaken-
never till now, and only now in death. In
he Chsnoellorsville campaign, his was the
movement on fredericksburg which did all
hat in one man lay 10 retrieve the disas-
ers Of Hooker st Chsncellorsville. At
Gettysburg he arrived on the field late on
he second day, after q march Of thirty
hree miles, went instantly into battle and
lrove back the enemy, who had forced the
ID Corps to retreat and were pressing
heir advantage He never was il a battle
ut Of which he did not bring away great
distinction 10 himself.

A few weeks since certain parties il
Toledo undertook to procure the remOva
Of Postmaster Bassett, Of that city, b,
means Of petitions signed and Forwarded
to the Postmaster General, making certain
charges affecting the management of ths
Office. The Pest Office Department referred
the matter to Judge R. R. Sloane, Special
Agent, with directions to investigate and
report. The Judge did SO, and made re.
port to the effect that there was no cause
for any action in the matter.
A correspondent publishes q commune
cation in the Toledo Blade, under the cap
tion of aservant and Master" and over
the signature of "z. O." in which he crit,
ieizes the course Of General Ashley, for
interfering in favor of Postmaster Bas-
sett; also, that of Judge Sloane, for max
ing the report he did. In this cOmmuni-
cation we notice the following sentence:
GAnd, finally, that short time after the
making of his report, the Special Agent
was called to Toledo to receive q present
Of a i've hundred dollar gold watch, at th'
AoHss of the POItmaster, which proceeding
actually took place"
The evident intention of the writer was
to convey the impression that the Especial
Agent" had the watch presented to him
by the Postmaster, in consideration Of SER
vices rendered in making the report in the
way he did. As a matter of justice TO
most faithful and efficient officer of the
Post Office Department we would state
from our own knowledge, that the Post
master Of Toledo had just as much to do
with that watch presentation as the Post
master Of Chicago or Cleveland had, and
no more. The watch in question was pre-
sented under circumstances highly honor
able and complimentary TO the rec pient
It was the gift Of over ninety gentlemen
connected with the Department, consisting
Of POstmssters, Route Agents, and local
Mail Agents from Iowa 10 New York. The
idea Of presenting this watch did not orig
mate with Mr.. Bassett but was started by
others long before any attempt WAS
made to remove that gentleman. 1t hap
pened that the city of Toledo was selected
by the Committee as the place to make the
presentation, and when the Committee met
there, Mr.. Bassett very properly extended
to the gentlemen Of the Committee the hes
Pitalities Of his mansion.
1t will thus be seen. that Judge slOsne's
report on the Toledo Post Office imbrOgliO
and the present of the FIVE hundred dol
lar watch had no connection with eseh
other whatever.

A day or two since, writes a correspon-

The Ravenns Democrat makes the fol-
lowing very appropriate reference to Judge
Day, o. Portage county. We heartily en-
dOrse every word Of the Democrat:
The manner in which the Union County
Convention Of Saturday made mention Of
Hon. Luther Day, in connection with a
nomination by the state Convention for
Supreme Judge is exceedingly gratifying.
The suggestion thus made will have weight
win All Union men, as there isiscarcely a
county or avillage in the State that is not
aware of the true snd patriotic course
Judge Day has pursued since the fated,
evil hour when the " Confederacy of South
Carolina" opened its guns on Sumter and
the flag Of our Union. In that hour his
cause became his cause, and as
as the hero Of VioksburR, and
as firm as he who pronounced the Procla-
nation Of Emancipation, he has never
taken aSstep back II Ohio would honor
one Of her most gifted sons, and recognize
q devoted patriotism, it cannot be better
done, perhaps, than by calling to her high
est judicial councils one so .eminently
qualified and true as Hon. Luther Day,

speech of Major Gordon

We commence this morning the publication of
the speech of Major GoRDoS at the Fremont
meeting held in Masonic Hall on Thursday night
which will be concluded in next issue. The
distinguished speaker has heretofore been in full
fellowship with the Republican party and has
been honored as its representative with many
positions of trust and honor, hence the value OF
the views that he presents upon questions OF
State and national policy which he discusses
most ably and eloquently. Major GoRDOS's re
view of public affairs and public men. the reader
should remember. is from Republican stand
point. and he sustaIns his positions by facts and
arguments which his Republican friends will find
exceedingly difficult to controvert.. Boldly Major
GoRDos denounces the usurpations and corrup
tons of the party in power, and manfuIly h
advocates the freedom of speech and OF the press
without which the ballot is a mockery-only
record Of despotism. The Administration city
papers denounce Major GoRDoS's speech mos
bitterly. and this is the best tribute that can b,
paid to it, truthfulness and force. Read anC
