GOVERNORS IN TOWN.
The Governors Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are in town,

sand men to serve for six months, and it
was stated thst the four States thus repre-
sented would furnish half the number

favor Of the plan.
THE LATE REVERSE.
The hope is entertained that our reverse
in General Banks department has been
retrieved, but nothing positive is officially
known on the subject, and the newspaper
dispatches are thought too mesger and un-
satisfactory to warrant much confidence.
Professor Peck, ef Oberlin, has just re-
turned from visit to Fortress Monroe foI
the inspection of negro troops. General
Butler fsVOrs the payment of negroes the
same as white troops, and says they are
becoming demorslized under the influence
of rebel authorities, and neglect from Oul
Governmentto to give them the same protec
ton it sccords to whitos, in justice il
matter of pay, sc. He has no faith in Nj
DOwelPs project of classifying them ant
paying them according to quality. H
thinks this imprscticsble.
