CLEvEIAsp, Sep& Il.
The soldiers and sailors' Convention, ID
response to the call from those favorable to
the policy Of President johnson, aal action
of August the l4th, met in this city to day.
A pavilion one hundred and City feet in length
by sixty in breadth had been erected in the
park for the use of the Convention, and at
0 clock the delegation entered, preceded by
a band Of music, and we're seated. after which
the crowd from the outside Was admitted and
filled the tent to its utmost capacity. Pre-
vious to the onfanixAtion, quite .. spirited
scene was witnessed, the delegation rising
and cheering with all their might for the
Isuccess of the hag, Generals Custar, Rous,
sesu, Wool, Mcclellan, the Constitution, the
thirty-six States and Andy johnson; and
after brief breathing spell, for Gen. Grant,
Secretary Seward, the American army, and
Gen. Steedman and Gov. Braml.tte Of Ken
lucky. As the cheering was called for and
given there was : scene Of wild Enthusiasm,
the delegates rising and swinging their hats.
By previous arrangement, Gov. Bramlette
nominated Major Gen, John 4. Wood, the
and probably in the world, Is temporary
President. Gen. Wood was received with
loud cheers and addressed the Conyentioa a.
follows:
GENTLEMEN: A grateful heart thanks you
for your cheering welcome. A more Asttering
and agreeable position could not have been as.
signed me than the one just conferred, ~
presiding officer, although but temporarily,
oyer this assemblage of patriots and heroes,
the true defenders Of their cosAt1y and the
Union. Be assured it will ever be remem-
bered and appreciated as the most precions
incident of long military career. The OBJ
ject of this great Military Convention, if
understand il correctly, is to consider the
principles enuncaied by the National Union
Convention 1t Philadelphai, and the restora-
ton policy of President johnson. On these
subjects would simply remark that the soon
er Congress recognizes the States-declared
by majority Of its members to be out Of the
Union-as Constitutional parts of the Union,
and admit their loyal representatives to the
Halls of Congress, and permit them 10 par
.ioipate in the National legislation Of the
country the sooner will be alAyed the fearsa and
of the people Of the dangers
which again menace the peace Of the country, |

JEFF. Davis against Joe.
Johnston.

Says an exchange: The friends
of Gen. Joe. Johnston will feel
not a little indignant at the man
ner in which Jeff. Davis speaks of
that officer in DR.. Craven's book.
That book represents that ''Pem-
berton made a splendid defense of
Vicksburg, and might have been
relieved if the officer sent to re-
lieve him General Johnston,) had
not tailed to obey the posittoe orders
to attack Gen. Grant, which Mr..
Seldom, Secretary of War, had
sent. If the same officer, who
was upheld in command by the
anti-administration Il. e. anti-Da-
Wis., party had vigorously attacked
Sherman at Atlanta when direct
ed, the fortunes Of aoar acouzd haze
been changed, and Sherman drte-
en- back to Nashville, over a sterile
and wasted country-his retreat
little less disastrous than Napo-
Icons retreat from Moscow" Mr..
Davis is also represented as very
bitter towards Toombs, Joe. Brown,
Vice President Stephens, and Hon.
Henry S. Foote.

CURIOUS SCIENTIFIC FACT.-Had
the people of Paris been able to
hear Queen Victoria deliver her
speech upon the opening OF Parlla-
ment, they could not have re-
ceived it as soon as they did by
telegraph. Sound moves at the
velocity of three hundred and
thirty-three yards second, conse-
quently it would have taken twen-
ty-one minutes to go from London
to Paris-in other words, if the
Queen said, "My Lord" at London,
at two o'clock, at two hours and
twenty-one minutes the acute
cared Parisians would have heard
these two words. The whole roy
al speech was sent to Paris by the
electric telegraph in ten minutes;
electricity out
stripped speech eleven minutes.

The Nashville Banner tells the
following accidental hit made by a
little girl during the examination
of the Mary Sharp College in VIM
chester:
GA class in Geography was up,
and many questions had been
asked and answered about the hu.
man family now inhabiting the
earth, especially questions about
the different races of people,
whether civilized or barbarous, etc.
The examiner passed from this
subject to natural and political ge-
ography, proceeded to put some
questions about the forms of Gov
eminent, and then inquired-Who
makes the laws in our Govern
ment? Congress, was the ready
reply. How is Congress divided?
was the next question, but the lit
tie girl to whom it was put failed
to answer it. Another little girl
in the class, who evidently had
not kept up with the change from
the subject of classes In the hui
man family to Government, raised
up her hand indicating that she
could answer it. Well, said the
examiner, Mss Sallie, what do you
say the division is? Instantly
with an air of confidence, as well
as triumph, the answer came, CIV
ilized, half civilized, and savage"

At Hudson, Michigan, on the

Smith, thirteen years of age, made
an attempt upon the life of her
father, by putting arsenic in his
tea. She says she was persuaded
to give the poison to her father
by her brother and sister-in-law;
that her father had money, and
that she could put the old man
out Of the way and marry a young
man to whom the old man was
opposed; that her brother furn-
ished her the money, and that she
bought the poison at a drug store.

General SCOTS Reception
by the Spirits"

Alta spiritualist meeting in New
Jersey, on Sunday, the 10th inst,
one of the mediums, Miss Bull
lene, gave the following account
of the reception of Gen. Scott in
the spirit land:
General Scott was received by
all the spirits en- masse. At his
right stood Washington. Behind
him was Wellington, the Iron
Duke. At his left appeared
the late Gar of Russia. Before
him, with folded arms, Napoleon
was stationed, as the representa-
tive of France. Jefferson, Madi-
son, Taylor, Lincoln, and the 9TH
er deceased Presidents of this Re-
public, whose names Miss Bullene
had clearly forgotten, acted as the
Reception Committee. All the
dead heroes of the recent war
were on duty, with many thou
sands of other famous people,
whom Miss Bullene would not
name. The reception ceremony
was exceedingly modest. A little
child. whom the General had dear
ly loved, was deputed to present
him with a crown of laurel, and as
it was placed upon the hero's head,
there were EXPLANATIONS from the
vast assemblage."

fish editor says:
GA good editor, a competent
newspaper conductor, is like gen
eral or poet, born, not made.
Exercise and experience give ia
cilities, but the qualification is not
manifested. On the London dai-
ly papers, all the great historians,
novelists, poets, essayists, and the
writers of travels, have been tried
and nearly every one has failed.
81 can" said the late editor of
the London Times, "fnd any num-
Der of men to write for me, but
very seldom one man of common
sense. Nearly all successful ed
itors are of this description. A
good editor seldom writes much
for his paper; he reads, judges, Sc
lects, dictates, alters, and combines;
and to do all this well, he has but
little time for composition. 10
write for a paper is one thing-to
edit it another"

The Cleveland o., Herald of a
recent date says, in sermon de-

Church it was stated that the ex-
penditures at drinking houses in
the city were $4,000 per week,

ton was made from statements of
liquor sellers. This sum is more
than sufficient to sustain every

shown to the commu- =S
nifty how much they
excel the ordinary 49,
medicines in use. They are safe and pleas
ant to take, but powerful to cure. Their pen
etlating properties stimulate the vital activi-
ties of the body, remove the Instructions of
its organs, purify the blood, and expel dis
ease. They purge out the foul humors which
breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish
or disordered organs into their natural action,
and impart healthy tone with strength to
the whole system. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of everybody, but
also formidable and dangerous Diseases
While they produce powerful effects, they are
at the same time, in diminished doses, the
safest and best physic that can be employed
for children. Being sugar-coated. they are
pleasant to take; and, being purely vegetable,
are free from any risk of harm. Cures have
been made which surpass belief, were they
not substantiated by men of such exalted po-
sition and character, as to forbid the suspicion
of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and
physicians have lent their names to certify to
the public the reliability of our remedies,
while others have sent us the assurance of
their conviction that, our preparations con-
tribute immensely to the relief of our afflict-
ed. suffering fellow men.
The Agent below named is pleased to fur
nish gratis our American Almanac, containing
directions for the use and certificates of their
cures, of the following complaints -
Costiveness, Billions Complaints, Rheuma-
tism, Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising
from foul stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Nor
bid Inaction of the Bowels and Pain arising
therefrom, Fiatulency, Loss of Appetite, all
Diseases which require an evacuant medicine.
They also, by purifying the blood and stimu-
lating the system, cure many complaints
which it would not be supposed they could
reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness,
Neuralgia and Nervous Irritability, Derange-
ments of the.Liver and Kidneys, Gout and
other kindred complaints arising from low
state of the body, or obstruction of its func-
tions.
