RRIG..GEN. n. RI. RuCKLAND.

In March last the Cleveland Leader published
a letter from Memphis, in which Gen. Buck
land was severely censured for having ordered
the return of several negro children to DR.. w.
s. Wheaton, who claimed them as his property.
Ii was alledged that the Doctor was Secession
ist. and various statements were made to sus-
tain this allegation. 1t appears now that Gen.
Buckland simply carried out written orders of
Generals Hurl6ut and Veatch, his superiOrs in
rank-a thing which he would have been liable
10 Court-martial for not doing. The story, ev-
identity. was greatly exaggerated with the view
of making case against Gen. B. Ouracquaint-
ance with Mr. B. warrants us in saying that the
allegations of the Leaders, correspondent are
entirely inconsistent with his character. Asan
Anti-Slayery man, his views have long been
known to the people of this Senatorial District
which. for two terms he ably represented in
the Ohio Legislature, and as gentleman of up
right and independent action, his superior can
not be found. NortoGLt Reflector.

GENERAL CRooks ExpEDIrIoN.

We have news from Crook S expedition which
is interesting and important. dispatch dat
ed Gauley, May Odd, says our loss is five hun
dred killed and wounded in the recent engage
ment Gen. Crooks left Charleston on the lst
inst, aud passed through Princeton on the 9th;
at Cl0yd Mountain had the first and fiercest bat
tie, and defeated and routed the enemy. Col.
Clay of the 7th Virginia cavalry with one hum
dred and twenty five men, charged the enemy S
rear and took many prisoners, including Gen.
Jenkins; three cannon, ten-pOunder Napoleons,
were taken. Our forces camped that night near
Newbern.
On the morning of the 10th, about 8 O'Clock
they attacked the enemy at the bridge, and
fought till A. We burned the great bridge and
they the one on the pike. We captured seven
cannon, three twenty Founders, which were
spiked and thrown into the river.
On the lIth we marched all day, and camped
on Salt Pond Mountain.
On the 18th the advance routed Brick Wall

side of Salt Pond Mountain.
On the 18th we reached Union. On the eve

9TH CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRICT.

The subject ola Unisn candidate for Congress
begins to be discussed in the 9Th District and
the names of GKN. r. =. BuCKLAND of San
dusky county and Judge j. X. HoRD, of SEN
cca. are announced. OF the former we can
speak with fullest confidence. We know him
10 be in all respects well fitted for the position.
To sound Judgment, unquestioned integrity and
large experience, he superadds nearly three
wears of faithful and heroic service in the armies
of his country, where he gained an enviable pO-
sifion. both in administrative and field duties.
The best proof ON this point, is his assignment
to the command of the important post of Mem
phis-the most important on the Mississippi
New Orleans only excepted. Judge HoRD oc-
cupies high position, and by his able and eff
cient labors, during the last campaign particu-
larly. commended himself to the confidence and
admiration of the Union men of the District
Other names may be presented from other
counties, where there certainly is abundant val
liable material. There is little reason to appre-
hend that the Copperhead wave which swept
over that District in 1862, will again visit it.

RRIGADIER-GENERAL BUCKLAND.

We are pleased to lay before our readers the
-ubioined letter published in the Fremont JOUrE-
al from General Buckland. Itcontains the on-
ly denial yet made of the charge against Cen
eral Buckland. He says: II ordered the chit-
Iyen 10 5e taIoea back, not as slGUeS, but as
net of humanity and duty IOtodrds the children.
The letter, which the Leader did not publish,
did not contain this important denial. Accept
ing the statement of General BucklaDd as cor
rect. we have no doubt but that he has been
very uniustly accused. SO long, however, as
the statement of "a. D. o." that General Buck
land had ordered two children TO be remanded
back to slavery, remained ncontradicted, there
was no necessity for publishing long letters
having no bearing upon the charge in question,
We are always ready to do justice to any one
who may have been wronged by anything that
appears In our columns, but We must be per-
mitted to decide whether explanatory letter.

healthy. There are quite number OF REIN

CEN. n. p. BUCKLAND.

Some time since charges were published
against Gen. r. P. Buckland in the Cleveland
Leader and other papers, alleging that at Mem
pbis he had recognized slavery and ordered GER
tain negro children to be returned TO their mas
ter. The charges were accompanied with alle-
cations of aggravating circumstances of vari-
Gus kinds. We have never published anything
in regard to these charges, because we did not
believe Gen. Buckland was guilty. Recently
documents have been published in the Fremont
papers tending to exonerate Gen. Buckland from
all wrong. Intentional or otherwise, in the mat
ter. He did not recognize slavery, did not de-
liver up the children as slaves, or do any Othel
act. only such as he would have done for white
children in the same circumstances. BGndusks
