DeciiRatiOn Of the Hon. Geo. l..
Pugh.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday
has the following, The necessity which
compels this action by Mr., Pugh will be re-
gretted
We are informed that Hon. George Il
Pugh, who was nominated as one Of the
Presidential electors for the State at large
by the Convention at Columbus, has sent in
letter of resignation to the State Central
Committee, declining the protfered honor. 1t
would be entirely incompatible and impos-
sible with his business arrangements in
his opinion for him to accept a position
where, i'll justice to the party, he would be
obliged to canvass the State in its behalf -
II was Il severe tax upon him last summer
when he devoted so much Of his time to the
election, in connection with his nomination
as Lieut.. Gov and it is now impeatively
necessary that he should have respite from
so arluous political labor He is grateful to
the democracy Of the State for the comph
ment of the nomination, which is the more
ilattering, as it was like the nomination of
Lieutenant Governor, unsolicited and un-
expected.
The name of Hon Milton Sayler. of Gin
cinnati, is suggested as Il proper one to
take the place Of Mr., Pugh, Statesman.
Since the above was put in type the Cen
tral Committee met and filed the vacancy
with Hon. CHAs. REMELIN

Capture of PaduCah by the
Rebels.

For several days there have been indica-
tions that the notorious General Forrest,
with force of about 5000 men, was mov-
ing toward the Ohio River. He moved on
Paducah, which place he reached and at
tackled early Saturday morning The Fed
erals under command of Colonel Hicks took
possession of the Fort and with the assis-
tance of three gunboats attempted the de-
fensc Of the town. Forrest succeeded in
entering the town, gutted it completely,
and set fire to several Of the principal bull
dings and the steamer Arizona. When the
enemy attacked the forts they were repul-
sed. and finally were compelled to retreat,
but not until they had done all the damage
it was possible to do. The excitement
among the citizens, who seem to have been
taken by surprise, was intense. Three
thousand crossed the river on the wharf
boat, and are reported to be in an exposed
and destitute condition. Later in the day,
the fire in the back part Of the city was dy-
ing out, and the citizens were returning to
witness the wreck Of their homes and fire
sides.
1t is reported chat the rebels had three
hundred killed and one thousand wounded;
but this is probably an exaggcration. We
have no report of the Federal losses.

1t cannot be truthfully said that the ad-
ministration is in favor of depopulating the
Northern States 1t is true, we have II
requisition for men every month or two,
and most of them are taken to the army
never to return; but the Administration
has agents in Europe encouraging immigra-
ton and expending vast sums of money to
induce foreigners to come here and take the
place of those destroyed by war. The Ad-
ministration is also using every effort to
liberate negro slaves and induce them to set
tie in the free States Thus it will be seen
that Notwithstanding the great drain on our
people to the harvest Of death, " Honest y
Old ABE and his co-laborers are using every
effort to maintain the population of the ad-
herring States. In this fact there is food
for reflection

A New Version.

The new Protestant version Of the Scrip
lures is in the course of publication at Par
is, - Boston Post
Is it anything like the new version we
have in this country, called the Anti-Sla-
very Bible, along with which is II new God,
called the Ant-Slavery God? Does the
new French version teach that Jesus Christ
was nigger-as suggested by Mr. MOWER,
of tho oace, and that misccgenation in Il
Divi .nstitution Does it reverse all the
maXtms and obligations Of the aforetimc
Christian religion, substituting hatred NAL
ice and all uncharitableness for love- bencf-
very unpopular version among the abolition
lists Of the United States. If not, it will
be u miserable "Coppcrhead' affair.

AliCegellatiOn.

The abolitionists go the miscegenation
doctrine in dead earnest \ large majority
of that party have become bold enough to
ayow themselves in favor of what they have
been working for for many years, to-wit
the equality of the whites and blacks. An
Ohio paper contains the following advcr-
tisement;

The Tennessee Election.

If one-half the reports from Tennessee be
true the loyal election in that State must
have been one of the grandcst farces on or
off record
The Memphis 1rgus Of the 10Th instant
publishes the afid dayits of several officers of
the 9th Tennessee Cavalry respecting the
election held in Germantown, Shelby coun-
ty Tenn, on the 9TH inst. None but sol
diers voted The citizens ofthe county were
not permitted to vote, and there were re-
turned, from that little village Of perhaps
two hundred inhabitants, 343 illegal votes.
The Argus is a loyal newspaper, and
other loyal newspapers in other portions
Of the State are denouncing the election as
shameful jugglcry. Abolition newspapers
in the North represent the elections in Ten.
ncssoe, Louisiana, and Arkansas as fair
expressions Of the people of those States
in approval of the negro policies of Mr..
LINCOLN. The elections were not more Il
mockery Of law and justice than the loyal
representations concerning them are Of
truth and decency.

We are hourly asked if the Ohio Dele
getes to the Chicago Convention are for the
nomination of General MCCLELLAN. We
will give our opinien Of the matter: The
conservative portion Of the Democracy Of
Ohio are for the nomination Of the Demo
crat and competent man who would be most
likely to be elected over the abolition nom
inee. At present most Of them regard
General MCCLELLAN Us the man; but they
do not, at present, propose to commit
themselves to him or any other, prcierring
rather to wait for the developments Of the
coming three months.
The delegates elected are understood tt
occupy precisely this ground. They wer,
elected by the friends of General MCCLEL
LAN--those who would favor his nomna
ton as matters stand at present.

Ohio Bounty Law.

A bill was passed on Wednesday OF last
week by the Ohio Legislature, to provide
for the payment of bounties to volunteers.
We have not seen the law, but the STATE
Journal represents that Trustees of Town
ships and City Councils are authorized to
levy tax on the taxable property within
their jurisdiction, to pay bounty of not
over one hundred dollars. To anticipate
the proceeds of such taxation, they are au-
thorized to borrow money or transfer mon
ey from any other funds in the county
township or city, not needed for the purpo
ses for which they are levied, except th'
School Fund and the Relief Fund.
All moneys already advanced for volun
teers may be treated and considered Il
loans.

The Ohio Delegates.

The delegates elected for the State at
large to the Chicago Convention will have
vast influence in its councils They arc
men Of the strictest integrity, and they are
intellectual giants. No State can furnish
four men who possess more of the requisites
Of greatness than WM ALLEN, A. c.
THURMAN, RUFUS p. RANNEY and Gro. II
pENDLEroN, Gentlemen Of pleasing ad-
dress, possessing great learning, profound
thinkers and powerful debators. With such
men as leaders the Democratic party will be
irresistihle.

Presidential Movements.

The Michigan Journal published in De
troit, and the leading German radical paper
Of that State, has hoisted the Fremont flag.
Two more German papers in nlinois-the
Peoria DeUtSche Zeitlmg and the Allen Beo-
bachte,-have likewise hoisted the name of
John c. Frement for the presidency in
1864; and the Wisconsin Democrat express
ses its preference for Fremont, declaring at
the same time, that it will not support Mr.
Lincoln on any condition.
1t is said that General llalleckss friends
are about taking steps to place him before
the Democratic party rs Il candidate. Ev-
cry hour the kaleidoscope Of the Presiden-
tial struggle changes but the Democratic
members of Congress continue to express
the most perfect confidence, Judging by
what they hear from their constituencies
that the Chicago nominee cannot fail 10 b,

Abolition Outrage,

On Tuesday evening Of last week, when
Mr.. MAYO, the member from Butler Co.. ,
was making a speech in the Lower House
of the Ohio Legislature, W. II. FREE, of
Perry County, Il crazy brother of the "im-
mortal j. NJ, approached and struck him
in the face. We clip the following from
Saturday proceeding in the House;
Mr.. Estill rose to aqucston Of privilege
and offered the following preamble and
resolution:
WHEREAS, On the 22d day Of March, 4.
D., 1864, VIM H. Free, member of the
House from Perry county, perpetratcd II
brutal and unwarrantcd assault upon the
person Of Archibald Mayo, member Of this
House from Butler county, whilst address
! ing the House on ccrtem resolutions con
dcmning mobs, then under consideration
and
WHEREAS, BY committing said assault
| VIM II. Free has made himself guilty o
the highest breach Of parliamentary law
of the privilege not only Of the House, bu
of the member assailed--and has proycC
himself unworthy of the honorable position
of member Of the General Assembly
therefore,
ReSoired, That the said Wm. II. Ere,
be and the same hereby is expelled from hi
seat ON the floor of this House.
Instead of promptly passing the above
the abolition majority substantially votcc
it down. We have no complaints to make
about it. If Democrats will not resent as
saults in the spirit in which they are given
they deserve to be kicked about like old
shoes. Mr.. MAYO should have procured a
hickory club and at the first convenient OPP
portunity used it over the head of the abo-
litiOn traitor
