The Theory of the Campaign in Europe.
from Ihe Tribune

from Wc ITtOUHe'
The present campaign in Bohemia and Saxony
will hereafter deseryedly be ranked among the
boldest in its conception, and most rapid in its
execution, of any mentioned in history. Until
the details of the movements become fully
known, it will be impossible to form a correct
estimate of its merits, or to assign It's proper
place. The English writers attribute the Prus-
sian success to the mechanical improvements in
their firearms Without pronouncng an opinion
as TO the merits of the steel cannon or needle
guns" OF the Prussians, we venture to assert
that any fancied superiority of these arms to
those Of the Austrians, is an Inadequate cause
to account for the complete rout of the latter

allies, can bring 100000 men into the field.
cannot be stricken to The ground in twenty
days by an adversary that cannot possibly mus
ter 100000 men in arms, without its having com
mittea great errors, and grossly violated the
| well-established rules of war.
The determining cause OF the Prussian success
is the great error OF the Austrlans in concentra-
| ting too large an army in Italy, instead of
| Bohemia. An Austrian defeat in Italy is for
| that empire only wound in the hand; battle
| lost in the valley of the Danube is stab in the

of 1905 and l809 In each of these, the Austlia ians
were victorious in Italy; but the success of their

strength OF the Austrian army in Bohemia has
been overestimated; its numbers we're not SO
great as stated, and il consisted in part o

Stone Throwing.

Two negroes got into an altercation and
fight last evening, and one fed pursued
by the other. The fugitive took shelter in
Koerner's grocery store, on the corner Of
Third and Long streets. His antagonist,
with boulder in hand, waited for some time
for the other to come out. At length he
threw the stone at him through the en-
trance door into the store from Long street.
The missile struck the open door, and
bouncing off into the room in the rear of the
store, struck white man on the hand, in
flcting pretty severe wound. The police
Immediately started in pursuit Of the
darkey who threw the stone, but had not,
at a late hour, succeeded in arresting him.

Pr..id.ut LIncOIn,s Policy.

The Journal produces an extract from
what it claims to have been letter written
by "President LINCOLN to the lamented
General WADswORTH, just before the latter
was killed at Spottsylvania," in which he
expressed himself in favor of Negro Suf-
frage. He is quoted as saying: q.
Silence think am clear and decided as
to what course / shall pursue in the prem
ises-regardinQ 10 a religious duty, as the
Nations guardian of those people (the Ne
groes) tolO haze so herOicdlly uindicdted their
manhood on the battlefield lotere in assisting
to save the lyeQf the Republic they hare demon
strdted in their blood their right TO the ballot,
,ohich is the humane protection Of the flag they
have so JeGrlessly defended"
An effort Is being generally made by Re-
publican journalists 70 prove that President
LINCOLN at the time of his death had de-
termined upon exacting from the Southern
people acquiescence in suffrage for the
slaves that had been made free. 1t Is a
matter of no consequence whether they
establish that fact. 1t is sufficient to know
that they endeavor to establish it, and in
the same connection accuse President
JOHNSON as pursuing in this particular a
policy diametrically opposite to the policy
President LINCOLN had intended to pursue,
and that, therefore, he is an apostate from
the Republican party. They thereby con-
vict the Republican party with being in
favor of Negro Suffrage.

Andrew .Iohnson,s WIckedness.

Andrew JOhnsOm's Wtckeumess.
The Journal the publisher of the laws Of
the United States, of mail lettings and OF
Treasury advertisements, here at the capt.
tai of Ohio, in its issue of September ii,
speaking of Convention that is to be held
at Pittsburg, in imitation of the great Sol
dlers and Sailors Convention that Is to be
held In Cleveland on the 18th Of this month,
says:
ut will be remarkable, too, for the char
acter of the men who compose 1t, and Tor
lis decided condemnation of Andrew john
sons wicked attempt to barter the victory
of our great armies for mess of pottage."
We should like to know In what the
"mess of pottage" consists that "ANDREw
JOHNSON" has the wickedness to "attempt to
barter the victory of our armies" away for.
He now holds the highest Office in the gilt
OF the American people, and had he con-
sented to carry out the Radical programme,
he would haVe received as compensation
for that service nomination, and proba-
bly, an election to the Presidency by the
Republican party. II hewanted to feed on
"pottage"--if his nature was incapable of
being moved by considerations higher than
"pottage"-to all appearance all that he
had to do was to "throw conscience to the
Devil" as THAD. STEVENS piously expresses
1t, and to allow the Radicals to rule with
out let or hindrance, and he could continue
to feed on all the "pottage" his nature
could possibly crave.
This circumstance carries with it most
potential proof that President JOHNSON Is
not in his present course influenced by con-
slderations of "pottage;" but by the great
purpose of doing what In his power lies to
restore lasting Union and perpetual peace
and concord-a purpose most noble and
worthy to be applauded by every patriot
in the land.

Death Of DR.. John Dawson.

The West and South, of September 10th,
contains an appreciative and just article
on the death of DR.. DAWSON, written by
w. M. CoRRY, the material portions of
which are reproduced below. The article
begins with a notice OF the Doctors able
and powerful paper on "Commingling the
Races" The writer says:
"No better paper has appeared on the sub
ject, so full of power, beauty and impar-
tiality. We consider it model in polem-
les, and one of the fine contributions to
science and to truth which the world will
not willingly let die. 1t was recent pro-
duction, and committed to writing for the
newspaper press because the mOdesty of
the author, even more than professional
engagements, made it irksOme to deliver a
lecture to the Columbus Lyceum. All the
nice traits of style, the simplicity and clear
ness OF statement, force of illustration,
wealth of analogy and history, power of
logic, earnestness of conviction, with which
scholars would expect to have so great a
theme treated by MASTER shone forth In
the composition. 1t indicated the fullness
of study, the acumen of trained observa-
ton, the resources of philosophy, the fervOr
of patriotism and the steadfastness of mar
tyrdom ITSELF"
The article proceeds as follows:
"Hardly have the public risen from the
perusal of this remarkable testimony for
our side of the contest that has ragged so
long, than the author is removed from the
living.
ave learn with all the pain of personal
loss that Professor Dawson died after suf-
iering day or so from paralysis, at his
residence iu Columbus on the 4th inst. He
was only fifty-four, and departed in the
height of his usefulness and power. Not
in the midst of the years OF life only, but
In the midst of its most active discharge of
duty has this good and great physician
gone to his account. His death Is a heavy
calamity to the thinkers of all classes. In
his profession he had few superiors, and he
had enjoyed the confidence of his patients.
They had given his services suitable re-
ward in an ample fortune, which was Who'll
ly the proceeds Of medical practice. He
leaves widow and several children to la
ment him as long as they themselves sur
vive. We ask leave kindly to mingle our
grief with theirs. But such afflictions are
blessings in disguise, sent. without doubt,
to warn and to correct, but also to stimulate
us by a wise and heartfelt recollection of
our loss of friends and the counsel and
patronage of friends; that there is the
greater reason for additional effort, and
for the manifestation of superior exam

AS the question is settled beyond dispute,
that we are to be visited by that most to he
feared epidemic, cholera, 1t behooves us all
to use every precaution in our powerto stay
its progress, and there can be no more GER
tain preventive than Roback's scandinavian
Remedies, keep the bowels open with the
Pills, and invigorate the system by the free
use of Roback's Stomach Bitters, or, if the
blood is thin, use the purifier. No family
should be found without these remedies.
Keep the system in full vigor and nothing
is to be feared from disease or cholera.

The PresIdent and tho People.

The journey of the President from Wash
ington to the Great Northwest, and thus far
on his return, has been one continuous
ovation. The masses approve his Policy
and are earnest in their concentrations OF
himself. The people who have awaited his
arrival at each railway station, have given
him no cold and formal welcome; they have
c)me by thousands and tens of thousands
and have greeted him with warmth and
cordiality which prove unmistakably that
their hearts are with him in protecting, pre-
serving and defending the Constitution, and
in his great work of restoring the Union.
No public man has ever journeyed through
the United States, who has received more
convincing proofs of the nations respect
for himself and approval of the measures
with which he was identified. The Radi-
Gals have signally failed in their efforts to
prevent attendance upon him in his pro-
gress from State to State and from
City to City. The contemplate and
spiteful spirit manifested by the
city authorities of several cities
through which he passed, has only tended
to make the ovations more grand and mag
nificent. Bitter as the Radical press had
been before, it has assailed him far more
venomOusly and ierociously since he began
this journey; but it has not kept the people
from meeting him, and assuring him that
they conflde in him and support him. He
can have no doubt now of the final success
of his Restoration Policy. His enemies may
read in his triumphal journey through the
land, the defeat that awaits them in the
impending contest; they may read in it the
final overthrow of the party that follows
the lead of SUMNER and STEVENS.
To-day the President of the United
States, and the illustrious men who accom-
pany him, will be received at the Capital of
the great State of Ohio, by multitude
that no man can number; and they will
greet and welcome him and them with a
warmth and a cordiality that shall place
the City of Columbus alongside of the
proUdest and the most honored in the land.

Appointment Accepted.

We learn that Gen. Chas. G. Walcutt, of

Penitentiary, has accepted the appointment

Cavalry. This will, we suppose, necessitate
his resignation of his present position as
Warden of the Penitentiary. Many of our
citizens, and OF the State at large, will re-
gret the loss of the Generals services in
the institution over which he now presides.

The UounIY Fair.

Yesterday was the opening day OF our
County Fair. The forenoon was inauspi-
cious on account of the falling of heavy
rain. In the afternoon, the weather became,
clear and pleasant, and there was quite
rush of visitors and OF persons making en-
tries. The entries made up to last evening,
numbered about 600.
Last evening was the time originally set
for closing the entries, and noon to-day for
closing the reception of articles. But we
are authorized to state that, in consequence
of the unfavorable weather esterday fore
noon entries may be made till noon to-day,
ard that articles will be received at any
time during the day.
The prospect is, should the weather prove
propitlous hereafter. that the Fair will be q
successful one, equal to, if not exceeding,
any one in any former year. The display
already on the grounds Is very creditable.
Floral Hall affords a beautiful and inter-
esting spectacle. The collection of fruits,
vegetables, farm products, domestic manu-
factures, &C., is very fine. In the stock
department there is good display. The
mechanical department of home Industry
is filling up, and the exhibition will be SUI
perior to what 1t has been in any former
year. Several firms that have never before
contributed to this department of the Fair,
will be on hand this year.
The awards of premiums will commence
being made tomorrow Thursday, the
third day of the Fair. We trust our read
ers in the city and county will generally
make it point to attend our County Fair,
and contribute, if in their power, to its list
of articles on exhibition.

Church. A cupola and steeple have also
been recently added to the building. We
understand that second steeple is about
to be erected to rise seventy-fve feet high
er than the present one. When both are
completed, the structure will present quite
a fine and imposing appearance.
