ARMY DELEGATES TO THE UNION
CONVENTION.

A caucus in the Army Of the Cum
bcrland has been held, and delegates
appointed to the State Convention at
Columbus, for the the purpose OF
nominating candidate for Governor
and other officers. The army will he
fully represented in the Convention,
and the delegates are generally in
favor. of fighting man-onc who
has taken IN active part IN the pres
ent war. and done good service in his
country's cause. This is right If
there are any who deserve Office, they
are the ones who have been active in
crushing the rebellion and placing us
whore we now are. There are plenty
OF good men who have served in the
army. and they should have the pref
erenco.
In this connection, it may be well
to say that there has been numerous
letters published in the Ohio State
journal, rs the central organ of the
state discussing the eligibility of
different men for the Goyernorship
OF tho state. Numbers Of candidates
havo been presented, most of
whom would lill the place with cred
it. Army communications favor an
army man, and decidedly oppose the
denomination of Gov. Brough. Moth
ing very serious is said against him,
but he is not liked. AS far as exec.
utive ability and integrity are con-
cerned, nothing car be said against the
present incumbent, but is very evi-
dent that lie is not popular in the
army.

Capt. l.. G. Aldrich, A. A. c.:
We attacked the enemy, about 500
strong, this evening at three o'clock,
and drove him in confusion eight
miles, killing and wounding about
thirty and capturing eighty prison.
ers, with many arms and accoutre-
ments, Owing to the scattered con-
dition of the men, halt was ordered.
Capt. Carrington's command coming
up, he was again attacked and driven
within one mile of Brazos, when dark
ness put an end to the pursuit. Had
not our artillery horses broken down
we would doubtless have captured
the whole command. uual.,y..
I cannot speak too highly of the
sagacity Of Col, Ford and the gallan,
try of his command. Our'loss was
-four or five severely wounded. We
did not have 800 in the fight, large
numbers not having arrived. q ~ Z

TIE PRESIDENTS VIEWS,

The New York Tribune presents
in its editorial columns, what it un-
derstands to be the views of Presi-
dent johnson on certain vexed ques-
tions.
"Piesident johnson, as we III der
stand him, holds tnat no State has
ever been out OF the Union--that all
acts Of so.called Secession, and all
roceedings of pretended State au-
thorities thereunder-are legal nul.
lities, OF no force and effect save as
they may afford evidence Of the trea-
son af their authors. He therefore
holds that the lloyd voters of State
constitute the people of that State
politically, and have right to recon-
stiiutc it whenever the hostile forces
of the Rebellion shall have been fully
Withdrawn or subvertcd. In such
reconstruction, those who were voters
under the State Constitution rs il en-
listed prior ID secession, and who shall
be.loyal to the Union and its Consti-
tuition at the time of reconstruction,
will be the ohly legal voters, and the
question Of negro saiI'ragc, or Of any
fundamental change whatever, must
be. decided By them. But, so far
from thiafips tliat colorei people
oughtpot vote, we infer from pret-
tysdail exposition Of his views to
which we,very recently listened, that
the President viii exert whatever in
fucnce he believes himself fairly en-
listed to in the premises, in favor OF
such suffrage. The only ground that
exists'for imputing to him hostility
inheres in his conviction that loyal
State Eopstitptions are not subject to
chanse by, Presidential edicts nor by
orders from thcAWar Department.

Assassiu ation-Lette Of Sy mpathy from
Rus sia.

Mr.. De Stoeckl, the Russian Min
lister recently read to the President
the eloquent instructions Of Prince
Gortchacow, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs at st. Petersburg, of which
the subjoined is translation:
ST.. PET.RsBURG, April 16.
SIR: The telegraph has brought us
the news of the double crime of which
the President of the United States
has fallen q victim, and Mr.. Seward
barely escaped.
The blow which has struck Lincoln,
at the very moment when he seemed
about to harvest the fruits of his en-
ergy and perseverance, has been deep
ly felt in Russia.
Because Of the absence OF the EN-
peror, l am not in position to re-
ceive and to transmit to you the ex-
preston of the sentiments Of his I'm.
perial Majesty. Being acquainted,
nevertheless, with those which our
august master entertains toward the
United States of America, it is easy
for me to realize in advance the news
of this odious crime will cause his
Imperial Majesty to experience.
| have hastened to testify to Gen.
Clay the earnest and cordial sympa-
thy of the Imperial Cabinet with the
Federal Government.
Please to express this in the warm
est terms to President johnson, nd.
ding thercunto our most sincere wish
es that this new and grievous trial
may not impede the onward march OF
the American people toward the re-
establishment Of the Union, and OF
that concord which arc the sources oi
its power and of its prosperity.
Receive, sir, the assurance of my
very distinguished consideration.
GoRTCHACow.
His Excellency Mr.. Stocckel.

IN Auti-slavery Editor,s va,idictory.

hn Auti-siavery Ednor's vaiidictory.
Mr.. Oliver johnson has withdrawn
from editorship of the Anti Slavery
Standard, after a long and faithful
service of twelve years, during which
time he has done a good work for the
anti slavery cause Since 1858 he
has been the responsible editor of the
Standard, but now he holds that the
mission Of that journal is fulfilled
He says:
Thank God, the work of Abolition
list, so far as slavery is concerned, is
done. Why run the mill after the
grist is out? What if the Constitu-
tional Amendment is not yet tied up
in the official red tape? There is
nothing that Aboiitionists can do to
make its ratification more certain. -
Society action is no mOre needful to
this end than to ensure the vernal
equinox or the next eclipse or to make
FIRE burn, or water run down hill.
