VRIIandigham on the Chicago COnven-
tOn and War Democrats.

On Saturday the city of Dayton was IA
vored with Copperhead mass meeting, at
which Vallandigham was prevailed on to
speak Among other subjects upon which
he dilated, the Chicago Convention receiv-
ed special attention.
Vallandigham evidently stands ready to
swallow whatever is done at Chicago
though he anticipates that man after his
own heart will be nominated. Thus he
speaks: saasa
1 can assure you, as far as my judgment
is worth anything, that that Convention
will meet in harmony, will sit in harmony,
ate true candidate, and furthermore, that
that candidate will receive a constitutional
majority of votes that will elect him Presi-
dent of the United States. In the spirit of
patriotic men, who love liberty and their
country, and laying upon the altar all our
private griefs, all our preiudices and pas
sions and preferences for one man over
another, and maintaining only fidelity to
principle, we will come together and make
such nomination as will be acceptable to
ALL Then. Lineoln's legion of arbitrary
power will come to an end. Then will
commence the work of rebuilding the mag
nifcent structure which our fathers reared
and placed in our keeping.
He evidently does not like the War spe-
cies of Democracy, and thus deals his blows
upon the Mcclellan Democracy:
l think we will put forward peace can
didate. Why not? Suppose we were
to nominate War Democrat, pledged to
prosecute the war, in what respect would
such q ticket be better than the Lincoln
ticket You would have all the evils of
the war still to press you down, increased
taxes, drafts, and the slaughter of yoursons
What would you gain by his election over
that of lincoln? You say that he would
not interfere with the negroes South
Well, that is no consideration with me
What do we care for the negroes down
South, when our own liberties and lives are
at stake? We want a man who will try
compromise in the settlement of our ma
tlonal difficulties, and such mau hundreds
and thousands of Republicans are looking
| for. If they want war man, they have
as good one as they could get in the per-
son of Lincoln. would as soon be drafted
under him as under a War Democrat
\ And I.would agree with Abraham, that it
is no time TO swap horses while swimming
river.

A correspondent of the Boston Adver-
tizer who that Journal says, ''has had
much occasion to deal with financial top
les, both practically and theoretically" sug-
gests the following; F .
II. Open the Gotten trade, in green
backs. This viii furnish market for our
bills deprive the rebel government of its
only fund, benefit the productive industry
of the North, increase our exports, and re-
duee the price of gold -f
80. Change the State banks into Nation
al banks and thereby gradually extinguish
all State issues and as gradually reduce
the currency
"3. For every dollar of new bills
hereafter issued to National banks, call in
and cancel dollar of government legal
tenders. and thus prevent expansion By
new banks.
"a. Should this system be adopted, and
no more legal tenders issued by govern
nlent, it would when fully carried out, re-
duce the currency about one quarter, and
the reduction would be so gradual that it
would produce no bad effect"

/. The official news which has been received
at w ashingten of the action at Mobile is
very satisfactory Faragut, in letter to
Commodore Palmerz, describes the method
Of attack. His feet, lashed two aud two,
moved against Fort Morgan, pouring in
broadside after broadside of grape and can
ister, driving the gunners from their places
and leaving himself exposed only to the
guns of Forts Gaines and Powell. The two
latter were taken by General Granger, who
landed force on Dauphin Island. The
monitor Tecumseh, in passing these forts,
was sunk almost Immediately.
A fierce encounter with the rebel ram
Tennessee took place, but she was finally
compelled to surrender. t.H ...
The total loss on our side is forty lIillet
and eighty-eight wouhded. On the rebel
ram Tennessee twenty officers and about
one hundred and seventy men were cap
tured. On the Selma ninety officers and
men were taken.

Some time since, there appeared in the
Paris papers an advertisement to this effect
'rThe Sultan desires to obtain pearls of
great value, pure without spot, and of
colorj they must not be pierced or strung,
for they are to be worn as solitaire. For
further particulars, address Harem, Port
Restante, Paris" Many pearl merchants
wrote but got no reply. A keen detective
at last answered Sir, you are looking
for pearls for the Sultan. 1 have prec-
ious pearl, Just sixteen years old, by name

once, requesting a photograph. 1t was

A YOUTHFUL RLOPRMENT.
How two Young Lovers EIuded the
/ VtgiIance of their Parents-PurSnit
I and Prospect OF Capture.

Living on Lafayette street, in close prox-
unity to each other are two wealthy fami-
lies, one of whom has a son not more than
fourteen years of age and the other an ae-
complished daughter of about the same
age. These youngsters have attended the
same school together for a number of years
past, and were considerably attached to
each other. Afew weeks since they agreed,
at no distant day, when fortune should
sInilo upon hem, to unite themselves in
matrimony, and so over1Uyod we're they at
the happy contamination of their court
ship that both according to agreement, in
formed their parents of the contemplated
match For a time the old folks" laughed
at the idea, but careful observance of
matters and things suggested to their
minds that tho youngsters were in earnest
Sterner measures were adopted to interfere
with the proposed match, which only
| served to increase the love-hsme already
kindled in the bosorns of the lovers.
They were each threatened with punish
ment, such as being sent from home to dis
tant schools, and in fact the latter was de-
cided upon os the best mode to separate
the Youngsters. The latter, however be

Reeruiling AT the Front.

What we said yesterday about recruit
ing negroes in the rebellious States sshas
been confirmed by what we have since
heard. A great many agents from the
Hast a',d .1Uaat, who had gone to the front,
have returned to Nashville. Fiftyseven
of these agents had recently returned
from the front.
General Shermans orders are that no
negroes shall leave his lines as he himself
has great need of them.
We again urge those, who are anxious
to escape the draft, to consider whether
they cannot fill up their quotas by going
to work among themselves
The draft must come, and thousands Of
drafted men vii then regret they did not
volunteer.

What a Gallant Corporal did Befors
Atlanta.

Yesterday, during the advance of Gene
raj Morses lines, Corporal Daniel Harps-
ter, Go. E, slst Ohio, being on the skir-
mish line, ran out seventy-fve yards in ad-
vance Of his comrades, surprised an in
,trenched rebel picket post Containing four
brawny, big rebels, and boldly demanded
their surrender The astonished Johnnies
complied without a word. AS be was
about to march them off one Of them asked
it they should bring their guns with them.
The anomaly of one man guarding four
armed men was too great, and the Corporal
directed them to leave their guns, They
obeyed and our little corporal brought in
those four giants of chiYalry all alone. If
every officer and man in the army would
do his part of the work, as well as corpo-
raj Harpster did his on this occasion, the
public would not long complain of the bar
rem results of our military operations.

Thousands Of hearts were made glad yes
terday by the arrival home Of the men of
the lbOth. There were many greetings
and kissings and shakings Of hands be
slowed upon the swarthy men who, one
hundred days ago, left their business and
went to the defense Of Washington. And
here q word may be said concerning the
services of the Ohio National Guards In
April last, when the Governors of a hall
dozen Western States profFered hundred
thousand hundred day men to the general
Government, it was not supposed that the
burthen would chiefly rest upon this State
But such was the case. Nearly One-hal
of the men offered by the West were i'm
mediately equipped and forwarded tc
Washington, West Virginia, the army il
front of Petersburg, Kentucky, and what
ever other points we're most in need of the
services of the National Guards.
Some of the regiments have fought in The
vicinity Of Petersburg, while others hav,
assisted in repeIling rebel raids into Penn
sylvania or in the defense Of the Capital
While Ohio has done this, it must be re
marked that the other States failed to fur
nish their profered quota. "A few regi
nents were raised in Indiana, still fewer il
Illinois. This was due chiefly to the wan
of an organized militia in those States, bu
nevertheless, the State of Ohio may justl!
feel proud of the services rendered by th'
National Guard.
