PROBABLE WIrHDRAWAL.--It is assert
ed that Michael c. Kerr is to withdraw in
the Second District, and leave the Con-
gressional race to General Gresham and
Judge Pitcher Indianapolis Gazette.
The Gazette is little at fault in its
geography. It was in the First Dis
trict.where the Fusionists have two
candidates-NIBEACK and PITCHER
PITCHER went to the Wigwam and
NIBLAeK stayed at home, and PIToH-
Err being the original JOHNSON man,
it was at first thought that the De-
mocracy were going to carry out! the
arrangement made at Philadelphia,
and give the special friends Of the
President clear field. But we have
heard nothing from NIBLACK's friends
about the matter of late, and we very
much fear they will allow PITCHER to
be sacrificed. ar sal [eG .ar-f,
In the Fifth District the Democ-
racy will probably allow poor Sol.
MEREDITH, or PERDUE in the Sew
enth, to make the race, where there
is no possibility of success. But the
Copperheads of this District think
they can elect their o,on man; so we
rather think NIBLACK will ask to go
back to Congress and draw his $4,000,
which, with his dividends from the
Sinnissippi Insurance Company, will
make him a comfortable democratic
support, especially as he is princi-
pied against spending money in the
canvass.

PERoNAL. The Courier, in yester-
days issue, paraded the name of one
of the proprietors of the JOURNAL
before the public, and attempted to
make some capital out of an item in
our City News, written by reporter
of this paper few days ago. We en-
deaYor- to collect news in a reliable
manner, and give it to our, readers
correctly; but, should our sources of
information be sometimes erroneous,
we are always ready to make correc-
ton. Our experience is that the
readers of newspapers take little in
terest in personal editorial controver-
sizes in their columns, and we hope to
be able to spare our readers from such
unwelcome discussions. There is
abundant material in the questions
and candidates before the people to
occupy editorial attention.

Who is Dennis2

: 1t appears that another of our local
Democratic politicians has foisted
himself into public notoriety in Ken
lucky. 1t will be remembered the
DUvALL party in that State, anxious
to make capital in their late canvass,
announced ex captain A. G. DENNIS,
late Of the Federal army, for series
of appointments. After the election
DENNIS sent congratulatory dispatch
to the Democracy of Kentucky, and
following the example of friend
lSaANKLIN, assumed to speak for the
Democracy Of Indiana Here is the
way in which he writes: -.e.i 52-ii
To. the Democratic party OF Indiana the
result is most gratifying, and upon the ex-
ample we will profit not less than 1900
votes. z. nlt 81 q .aE Ea liiind aAH ela1s
y The Frankfort Commonwealth wants
to know who DENNIS is, and says i Il
vallandighamso of. Ohio, has congratulate
ed Kentucky on'the election of Duvall and
Brick Pomeroy, Of Wisconsin, followed in
his wake with enthusiastic greetings,
much in the strain of his congratulations
to the country on the assassination of Mr.
Lincoln. Now Albert G. Dennis, of Indi-
ana, man utterly unknown to fame till
the CouTter- Democratic State Central Com
mittee ferreted him out as a. Federal sol
der ready to enlist in the rebel eause-this
dent congratulation" to his Kentucky enl-
ployers. --.-..lgs'1.5. 49,
Captain DENNIS is known here, as
he has been pretty thoroughly venti-
lated in this community. But for
the information of the C0mn,on,oeqlth,
we state that the Captain did serve
about twelve months in the Union
army, but it was through much tribu-
lation, being placed under arrest and
idisgraced in the presence of the
whole command. q He got out of the
service in 1862, and celebrated his
release from thralldom as atLINCoLN
hireling" by defaming the character Of
Gen. HACKLEMAN, one of the brayest
soldiers and purest patriots ON the
roll of Indiana's gallant dead. For
his shameless conducts he was pub
licly branded by GolzJoHN A. PLAT
TER as 'dcohte0ap6bte, co1oardly dog, -
coupling with it brief history of his
inglorious military career, being in
the same regiment. After Col. PLAT
TIERS deserved rebuke, the Captain
quietly subsidized into Copperhead OBJ
security from whence he didnot emerge
till resurrected by the DUvALL De-
mocracy. IF they can make anything
out of the Captain they are welcome
to him. The Democracy here, al
though reduced to great straits, have
had no use for him, and will doubt
less be obliged to their brethren in
Kentucky if they will keep him.
