The Warren Chrontcte,E published at
the home of Maior-General Cox, in its
issue of the 18th nst%speaksth thus of the
General views as corresponding with
those of President Johnson
"We obserye.that the opposition Press
is. laboring to find some encouragement In
the hope that the Union candidate for
Governor will be found in antagonism
with the Federal Administration, on the
questions of reconstruction and universal
suffrage. In fact they assume that he
already occupies that attitude, although
they have not a line Of evidence to sup
port the ASSUMPTION. We can assure them
that if they anticipate the pleasure of see
ing a sehism IN the Union ranks, for lack
of unity between the ADMINISTRATION and
Gen. Cox on the measures of public policy,
they are doomed to Disappointment. Gen.
Cox heartily approves of the platform
adopted at Columbus, and any efforts of
the opposition to place him In a posir
ton inconsistent with those resolutions,
will prove futile. IF the opposition can,
find anything in the Union platform in
compatible with the general policy of the.
Administration, they are, of course, at
liberty to manufacture all heseapitaRthey
can from the defect But the eonciliato-
ry spiritthat ruled the Convention, and
the judicious sentiments of the reselu-
tions, seriously disappointed our political
opponents, who had anticipated a conven-
ton of irreooncilable elements, that would
commit some serious indiscretion, pro-
voking a party sehism. Now that their
hopes have not been realized in that re-
spect, they are Eainly endeavoring to rally
and inspire their ~despondent rank and
file with the palpable delusion hat the
friends of the Administration and the
supporters of Gen. Cox are in danger of
a collision. The insinuation is so idle
and preposterous that we are quite sure it
will afford no real comfort to our oppo-
nents, or awake the least particle of fear
in our own ranks.p .

aEnsIRLE FAX nN Reconsideration.

There is a fund of good sense in the
following paragraph, which we take from
a speech recently delivered by General
Schenck, at Columbus:
He would not trust rebels until they
had been thoroughly tried. If a person
have a leg disabled, he will, by every APP
plioation of remedies. make it well before
he ventures to use it; so with the rebels.
AS to reconstruction, he could wait
Americans were pr%overbially too fast
They must not hurry too much. The
old proverb hasten slowly" was a good
precept now. Were he going to build a
house, rather than have it of ricketty,
rotten timbers, he would wait for new
wood to grow. South Carolina was thirty
years getting out of the Union-as far as
he was concerned she might be thirty
years getting back. She must become
new-must grow in sentiment before he
would trust her. Rebel States were in
the Union insomuch as they had failed to
release themselves from its obligations
they we're out of the Union so far as they
had forfeited their rights by rebellion.

THE DEMOCRACY AND GEN. SHERMAN.
The attempt Of the Democratic leaders
to O Gen. Sherman to their embraces,
has proved an utter failure, and the hope
of using him in the desperate effort to re-
inYigorate their played-out and defunct
party, must be abandoned. Gen. Sher-
man does not sympathize with a party
that arrayed itself against the war in
which be distinguished himself and did
he entertain sentiments on matters
of public policy held by the Val
landighams, Longs, Pughs, and others of
that ilk, who are now the recognized lead
ers of the Ohio Democracy and control
its movements. he has entirely too much
d-iscernment not to know that to permit
himself to be in any way used by them
politically, would be his certain and in
evitable ruin. In his recent speech at
Columbus he spoke in such explicit terms
as to leave no room for doubt as to his
position. He thoroughly endorsed Gen.
Cox, and clearly indicated his intention
to support him-repelled the insidious
advances of the Demoeraey-deelared he
had no political aspirations-and posi-
lively affirmed that he could not be in
duced to become q candidate for either
Governor or President. In his remarks
in response to the reception speech, he
said Is
Let Ohio honor the noble McPher-
son. or her soldiers will see that a monu-
ment shall rise above his remains. Thel
we have Gen. SheridaR and Gen. Cox
your candidate for next GovernoT-a gen
tleman, a scholar, and a General who was
/ ever faithful IN the performance of duty,
and will ever remain so.tdHe hoped that
EOhioWould make Governors Outof all
her Generals until the next war.
And in his speech in the afternoon, at
the close of the banquet, he thus ex-
pressed himself .baI
He alluded to Generals Grant and Me-
EPherson, and other great and galland OH
GERS frema0bia; and alIuding to General
Cox, who sat near him, spoke of him as a
|gallaDtand perfect officer, and accomplish
ed and true gentleman, and every way
worthy of the confidence of the people of
Ohio.
Z He saidsthat 1t had been snrHised that
he had political aspirations. h was a
great mistake. He would not accept the
office of President, were it offered him to-
day. Helcould do better. twenty-five
thousand dollars q year was no induce
ment fer himto assume the duties and re-
sponsibilities aof the Presidency. He
would prefer the military position he now
holds He was quite satisfied with the
reputation he gained in it, and he intend
ed t o4take care of it. The Presidency
has wellsnigh killed every military man
that has meddled with it, and helhad no
purpose or desire to have anything to do
with it. And it has been said he could
not favor hisfrind Cox here for the civil
Office for which he Is now a candidate
Here, again, he had been misunderstood.
What he did say was, that he wondered
that the General would exchange a Major
Generalship for the place of Governor of
Ohio But he supposed that possibly
Gen. Cox considered it was giving up an
uncertainty for a certainty For himself
he would not have the office for two years
or five thousand years"

A butcher in New York died on Fri

hours a swelling covered his face and ex-

days he became delirious and died in
great agony. The medical examination
showed that death resulted from the alb

The Government will offer for sale, at
different places, within the next two or

OBJECT ENoUaH.-The Ohio Statesman
says that the Dayton Journal ''substanti-
ally admits that the only object of the
Abolition party is to defeat the Copper
heads" to which the Journal replies:
well this is very comprehensive. 1t
includes the defeat of everything that is
vile in politics; the defeat of the advo-
Gates of the pernicious doctrine of State
Sovereignty; the defeat of the prOslayery
of the party and the influence which caus-
ed the death of 325, 900 United States Vol
unteers, and accumulated the existing
enormous public debt of the Nation. The
defeat of the Copperheads, is object
enough for all patriots"

UNION COUNTY CONTINUOUSLY
reference to the official call of the Central
Committee, it viii be seen that the Union
County Convention, for the purpose of
putting in nomination candidates for the
several offices to be filed at the coming
election, convenes in this place on Mon
day. August 21st. The primary meetings,
for the election of delegates, come off the
preceding Saturday. We hope it is not
necessary to remind the Union voters of
the county of the duty of attending the
primary meetings. All are interested in
having delegates chosen who will reflect
the sentiment of the people in the nomi-
natians they make-and to insure so de-
sfrable an end, all should make it point
to participate in the work of selecting
them.

The British Tories continue to express

are Extensively oficious in volunteering
advice to our Government as to the man
ner in which he should be treated. Their
chief organ, the London Morning Herald,
in its issue of the I'd inst, in an article in
which it spits its venom plentifully at the
President and his Cabinet, and especially
Secretary Stanton, thus lauds the fallen
chief of the rebellion:

national unity is requisite to American
Independence. The very announcement
Of arebellion developed in nearly every

HENRY S. FooTE, a member of the
rebel Senate from the State of Tennessee,
in a recent letter from Montreal, to the
New York Tribune, says in reference to
the barbarous treatment of our prisoners
by the rebels, that the Investigations of
the committee of which he was chair
man, appointed for the purpose of exam
lining into the matter, revealed the fact
that "a systematic scheme was on foot for
subjeeting these unfortunate men to
starvation; that the oommissary, North
up, Ga most wicked and heartless wretch)
had addressed a communication to Mr..
Seldom, Secretary of War, proposing to
withhold meat altogether from military
prisoners then in custody, and to give
them nothing but bread and vegetables;
and that Mr.. Seldom had endorsed the
document containing this recommends
ton a6irntdh0ely.n The communication
referred to was seen by the committee,
and was signed by Northup and endorsed
by Seldom. Northup has recently been
arrested and is now confined to await trial
for his barbarity. As the proof against
him is positive, and founded on rebel off
cial documents, it is to be hoped he will
receive the punishment he so richly
deserves.

The Nashvfffe Union of the 18th inst.
announces the arrival ia that city from
Atlanta of Hon. john BELL and family.
No Southern man has occupied a more
prominent position before the people of
the country than Mr.. Bell, and among the
many victims of the rebellion few have
paid a greater penalty for their treason
than he. Opposed to secession and dis
union, he permitted himself to be drawn
into the fatal meshes Of the rebellion
Distrusted by the rebel leaders, he failed
to obtain prominence among the traitors
whose cause he espoused-was reduced
from afiuence to poverty-from a dis
tinguished statesman became a despised
and obscure exile, for three years wander
ing from place to place, neglected and al
most forgotten-and now, the war being
over, he returns to his former home to
exc out his few remaining days on earth
utterly Inundated, the conscious victim of
his own folly and perfdy. He was a few
years ago the colleague of Andrew john
son in the United States Senate. The
present position of the two men is in
striking contrast, and affords an instruc-
tive commentary on the effects of the re-
bellion-Johnson, the patriot, being the
honored President of a great nation
Bell, the traitor, a despised and execrated
outcast.

SECOND pIsPATcH.

New YoRK, July Blowing to the
rapid progress of the fire at Barnum's
Museum to-day very little was saved
The whales, snakes, and wild animals
were burned. Several articles were
brought out and lost in the crowd. A
policeman saved a case of valuable coins
and the glass engine.
A large number of thieves plundered
the hat stores and shoe stores in the vi
cinity and sold the stolen property in the
crowd. Pick-pockets were very active
and many arrests were made.
Several persons were injured blythe fall
ing walls.
A panic occurred in the crowd in conse-
quence of the steam escaping from the
fire engine, and several persons were in
jured by being trampled under foot. One
of the attaches of Barnum's Museum
went to the roof of the building when the
fire broke out and has not since been
heard from.
The City Hall Park and the streets in
the vicinity were filled with a dense
crowd.
The walls of the Aston House grew
very hot, but by drenching the windows
thoroughly, the building was saved from
the FIRE. The Evening Express office
took fire twice on the roof, but no serious
damage was done. Some water was
thrown into the Herald building. The
Belmont Hotel was thoroughly drenched.
The old Fire Department was out in
strong force, and engines came from
Brooklyn to assist. This afternoon capt.
talists made a proposition for a new Mu-
scum Association, with a capital of $780,
600, with John Barnard, of Banvard's
Panorama, as Manager.

CHANGE OF BAsE-Mr. s. S. Cox, a
noted and notorious Ohio politician of the
Democratic persuasion, having found the
atmosphere of the Columbus Congression-
al district ~unfavorable to his political as
pirations, has removed to the city of New
York, where, if he can succeed in head
ing off Ben and Fernando Wood, Isaiah
Rynders, and a few Others of like stripe.
he will experience no difficulty in finding
a constituency whose sentiments he could
truly and faithfully reflect in the national
councils.
G. i. Vallandigham, a well know gem
tleman Of the same faith and similarly
circumstanced, it is said has resolved to
leave the 4th Congressional district and
seek a more congenial location in Auglaze
county. This Change of base is ex-
planned by the fact that Auglazec omposes
part of about the only Congressional dis
triet in the State that's certain beyond all
contingencies to elect the Democratic nom
inee, even should it be JEFF. Davis HIM
self. Mr.. v. will probably be heard of in

Of that deleetable region, and if a capdi-
date will of course be elected,
