BooNvLLE, Jan. 24th, 1864.
Editors Of the Journal:
yield to no one in admiration of the
talents and valuable services of our fel-
low-citizen, Judge Conrad Baker, whose
name has been announced in connection
with the candidacy for Judge of the Su-
preme Court, and if the First District
could secure his nomination for that of.
fee at the approaching Union Conven-
ton, no one would be more gratifed
than the writer but regret to learn
that be has peremtorily refused to have
his name presented to the Convention.
If,this be true, then it behooves the
Union men of the First District to pre-
sent some other man for nomination
from this District that wouldgive strength
to the ticket, and insure thorough can
vass of the District This man should
be lire man, one who is thoroughly
and favorably known, not only in the
First District, but throughout the entire
State, and who is possessed of the meaas
to insure vigorous canvass.
We have such q Iaan, and one, too,
who deserves as much from the loyal
men of the First District, as any man
who has not been exposed to the bullets
of the enemy This man is Col Andrew
Lewis, of Princeton, Gibson county
Col Lewis was appointed by Gov Nor
ton Commsndant of the First District,
and as such rendered valuable and eff
cient services in recruiting four as gal
liant regiments as ever went to the field.
Col. Lewis's name is a household word
in every soldier home throughout South
western Indiana, and when sorrow and
affliction oyertake the soldier when at
home, or his family in his absence, to
him they apply as naturally and as conf
IDENTIFY as a child would to its father,
knowing that whatever can be done will
be done, to relieys their wants or soothe
their Affections.
The writer has had frequent occasion
to solicit the services of the Colonel in
aid of many of our gallent men, and has
invariably found him ready to assist,
both with his services and his means,
any who require assistance.
know not whether the Colonel has
any aspirations for place on the Union
ticket, but do know that he possesses
superior qualifications for either Secre-
tary of State, Auditor of State, or Treas
urer of State, and that if he should be
nominated for either he conld, I venture
to say, receive a larger vote in the First
District than any other man on the State
ticket, excepting that best of men, o. P.

R9-The charter election in Wheeling,
on Monday, resulted in the complete
success of the Union ticket. The Intel
iqe'lcer says:
To estimate truly the work that was
done, and the victory that was won yes
terday, we must remember that only one
year ago the Union candidate for Mayor,
in this city, was beated 48l votes. AT
this hour the full returns are not before
us, but it seems reasonably certain that
difference of at least six hundred votes
has been effected this year. Itis not
therefore question of majorities thi.
time, but question of change from
wrong to right, and any one can see tha,
a very decided and thorough change hai
J been effected

Major General Steele:
Sundry citizens of the, State of Ar
kansas petition me that an election may
be held in that State, at which to elect a
Governor; that it Be assumed at that
election, and thenceforward that the
Constitution and laws of the State, as
before the rebellion, are in full force,
except that the Constitution is so modi-
fed as to declare that there shall be
neither slavery nor Involuntary servi-
tude, except in the punishment of crimes,
whereof the party shall have been duly
convicted; that the General Assembly
may make such provisions for the freed
people as shall recognize and declare
their permanent freedom, AID provide
for their education, and which$may yet
be construed as a temporary arrange
msnt suitable to their present condition
as labcring. landiess and homeless
class; that said election shall be held on
the 18th of March, 1864, and at the usual
places of the State, or all such as voters
may attend for that purpose; that
the voters attending at each place
at eight o'clock in the morning of
said day, may choose Judges and Clerks
of Election for that purpose; that all
persons qualified by said Constitution
and laws and taking the oath presented
in the Presidents Proclamation of De-
eember s, 1868, either before, or at the
election, and none others, may be voters;
that each set of judges and clerks may
make returns directly to you, on, or be-
fore the - day Of - next; that. in all
other respects, said election may be con-
Quoted according to said modified Con
stitution and laws; that, on receipt of
said returns, when 5, ,406 votes shall have
been cast, you can receive said votes and
ascertain all who shall thereby appear to
have been elected; that, on the - day
of - next, all persons so appearing to
have been elected, who shall appear be-
fore you at Little Rock, and take the
oath, to be by you severally administered,
to support the Constitution of the Uni
ted States and said modified Constitution
of the State of Arkansas, and be de-
clared by you qualified and empowered
to Immediately enter upon the duties of
the offices to which they shall have been
respectively elected.
You will please order an election to
take place on the 29th of March, 1864,
