 And you, our old and first beloved of Co E. in the war worn Fifth, who rushed early to the war, you will never forget, nor shall we, your many bloody and victorious battle-fields, nor that splendid. unparalleled march under the in trepid, persevering and victorious Sherman from Washington to Nashville, from Nashville
 through all the Atlantic States, after having helped in Lees surrender, and for ed that of Johnson-to your own beloved homes in Wood bury. A soldier who has fought under Sher- man, may count himself truly blest In the fame of Sherman and his troops, our ancient town has right to take, as she does take, a
 modest and becoming pride. His ancestor in the Shermansline was born in this very street,
 in a house standing just above the Hall in | which we are assembled. Soldiers, all, you will never forget the Al dead heroes of your number, nor the Al other comrades, who this day bear honorable scars received in the ser vice.

Colored Citizens.

The State Convention of colored citizens,
which met in Xenia on the 10Th inst, adopted
the following resolutions:
ResOEDed, That this convention appoint a
committee Of one or more 10 labor with the
General Assembly, for the repeal of the law
that disfra anchises the eOlored citizens of Ohio,
and that the said committee receive a salary
Of one dollar per day, and board and that the
said services be rendered Immediately on the
adjournment of this convention, and the mo-
ney be raised by subscription to pay the
same.
RssolUsd That we are in favor of our Gov
eminent, against all her enemies, at home or
abroad; that our fathers fought to establish
it, and we will fight to defend it; that we Will
not hesitate in the prompt performance of
our duty to the nation in its dreadful hour Of
need, but prove with our lives and means that
we desire to be looked upon and treated as
American citizens.
Rs50lUed, That we recommend to the people
of Ohio, the "COlored Citizen" of Cincinnati;
the t'AnglO-African," of New York, and the
"Christian Recorder" Of Philadelphia, as
their suitable family organs.
The Business Committee offered the follow
ing resolutions which were unanimously pass
ed
ResoyUed, That the safety Of the Republic
demands that in the territories and in the re-
organized States, the colored men shall exer
else the elective franchise and be otherwise
fully clothed with the rights Of American cit
liens. In the revOlted States, they are the
only loyal class, and have fully proven that
the great right of voting can be wisely given
to them.
SEC. 2d-That. there remains upon the stat
ute books of Ohio, laws unjustly making dis.
tinction on account Of color, and we earnest
ly protest against them, and demand Of our
legislature that our laws be purified and
made to conferm to the requirements of re-
publican Justice.
SEC. 3d-That we view with pride, the gen.
erOus ardor of our fellow-citizens Of color,
who have rushed to the standard of their coun-
try, and have in SO many bloody fights main
tanned the honor Of their race, their State and
country.
RESOLVED, That justice demands that the path
Of promotion should be opened to them, and
that they should have the same incentive to
honorable e1ertion as is presented to the white
| soldiers. Carried.

Cincinnati Markets.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 18, 1864.

CINCINNATI, Jan. l8, 1854.
EDITeR SENTINEL:
The receipts of Hogs during the past seven
days comprise L, 900 head and this being
much larger than was expected, the price ran
down a little, the market closing at 151 to
16f for light tO-extra heavy. The packing
houses are nearly all closed for the season,
and drovers do not find much competition
among buyers. Mess Pork closes dull
426424 for best city brand, and some
sales of first class country Mess sold to the
extent of 1900 bbIs at 403 to 423 deliverable
at Interior points. Prime Mess has been in
brisk demand during the week, with sales
Of 1900 bbIs at prices ranging from 81 to 983,
but at the close the market was dull, and we
think purchases could be made at 37@38.
Rump Pork 30 to 80. Theshipments of bbl
Pork during the week comprise I, 1876 bbls.
Lard has ruled duh all the week, and prices
declined to 224 for city brands, and 229224
for prime country. Head and Gut Lard 2l9
211. Keg Lard 24@@25. Shipped during
the week 1914 tieroes. New Bacon in good
demand, with sales at 2O3C92Ok for Sides, "A
for Clear Sides, POI to 223 for Clear Ribbed
Sides, aud "a for Hams uncanvassed. Bulk
meats firm at 16E8164 for Shoulders loose,
49, for Sides, l8 for Hams, 194@193 for Clear
Ribbed Sides, ,and 201 for 6iearsides al1lOOse.
Shipped during the week. 294 hhds and 712
boxes. Extra Lard Oil scarce and firm at
S2.O5 to 2.O8, no charge for bbls. Whiskey
has dragged along all the week: the nominal
price being 1920, but nearly all the actual
sales being at S215. The market closes fir
mer with an. upward tendency, and we think
purchases could not be made this P. NJ. under
! S2.18. Freights have again declined to l.25
to Boston, 1900 New York, 1.l5 to Philadsl-
phia; and 1.0O9L1O to Baltimore. The small
amount Of freight going Eastward from this
point and the earelessness of shippers about
sending it forward now, or waiting for Spring
rates, have forced the Railroads here to "cOme
down. Exchange on New York Rrmer, Ban
kers now paying $4,000 premium.
