Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Republican,
CLEvELAND, Sept. 16.-During yesterday and
last night many distinguished officers delegates to
the Soldiers and Sailors Convention, called to
meet here tomorrow, arrived in this city, The
object OF this convention is well known to the
public The call was made to those who acqui-
esce IN the policy of the President and Mr. John
son as opposed to that Of Congress upon the one
question Of the immediate admission Of the South
'ern States to the enjoyment Of their constitu-
tiOnal rights in the Union. Most dgent efforts
have been made by the radicals to persuade the
country that the patriotic officers and soldiers of
the army with the officers of the navy, are heartily
in accord with the radical Congress upon qtes.
tions Of policy. G@&EEGH
Ut is undoubtedly time that the radicals, by their
early efforts to bind together the soldiers upon
radical platform, and by Misrepresentation and
l1al!acious appeals to prejudice, coupled with I'M
limited calumny and detracti9n, succeeded in
arrbying upon the congressional basis consider
able number Of soldiers witha few OF the fighting
officers Of the army, who were moved by political
aspirations and coVetousness of office.
The conservatives aid not begin to appreciate
the necessity of a counter movement until the
radicals had perfected the organization Of such
soldiers as they could scduce in nearly every State
to be used for political purposes in the fail cam
paign. But the moment The cali was issued
for conservative officers and soldiers to show
themselves the whole aspect Of affairs was
changed. It appears that the prominent
fghtDg officers Of the army we're national
mehs without faint Of radicalism, free from
sectonalism, generous and colcliatory toward
their old foes, anxious for general harmony and
reconstruction, and ready to grant to the South
Immediate restoration to the enjoyment Of all the
privileges enjoyed before the war. The number
Of these brave men who thus indorse the policy Of
President Johnson and dis ent from that Of Con
Eress is immense They are found in every State
Their record is honorable and without stain.
They were among the fl st to enlist in the service
OF the Union; some of them we're priVates who
won their way by distinguished service to high
military honors Many Of them wear honorable
gears received in battle. All loved their country
and fought for the Union, exposing their lives and
eXpending the rignr Of their manhood in the en-.
deayOr to re-establish the supremacy Of the Con
stitutiOn and laws over the insurgent States
Among the arrivals are Major General John E
Wool whom even radicals have eulogzcd for his
patriotism, and whose faithful services in the reg
ular army for half century, the country remem-
bers with gratitude He is talked Of as president
of tic convention. Besides him are Major Gen.
A. McCook Maj. Gen. Gurton Gen. i. Kiby
Smith, Gen. George P. Este Gen. o. H. MOrland,
ten. Love, of Indiana, Gen. j. W. Frizelle. Gen.
Morgan /. Smith, Of Missouri, Cen G. W. Roberts,
OF Maine, with C0i. Il. Rich and Col Bradbury,
Capt Brigham, Capt Kurdish, Surgeon Buxton.
all from Maine, Gov. Bramlette, Col. Scott C0l,
Holman, Maj. Quincy, Col. Taylor, Capt. James
Crittenden all from Kentucky. Noticeable among
the delegates who have arrived from Kentucky
is Gen. H0bson, the late radical candidate III that
State for clerk Of the court Of appeals, who was
defeated by Duvall. He ranges high with the
cnnsergat iVcs, and repudates all alliance with the
TeVoluGpnists WHO voted for him month ago.
Kentucky sends large number Of men who smelt
powder and faced the cannons mouth on many
field of battle.
Among them are nine generals, forty col0nes,
as many captains, aud a battalion Of privates,
which would have been Increased to brigade but
that many Of those who desired to be present.
could not afford to meet the expense. The radi-
Gals from Boston to St.Lous have been partcu.
larry sore over the defeat of Gen. H0bson whose
patriotism they vouGhed for, and whose excel
lence as a Union man they Endorsed by sending
radical orators into Kentucky to stump the State
for him, and by urging all the fanatics of that com
monwealth to vote for him. In the year 1860
majority of 5000 voted in Kentucky against Sc
session; like majority month ago voted against
Tadicalism and thus defeated one of the worthy
sons Of Kentucky, who was sunk by the dead
weight Of radical rebels The radicals are now
dumbfounded to see one on whOn they had placed
their own brand meeting with the national Union
convention OF soldiers and sailors in Cleveland
but this is the case with hundreds and thousands
who are now cooperating with the national Union
men. The question is, what will the radicals do
who are delegates to the convention are those who
lived so long in the smoke and thunder of battle,
that they have all the look and wear the odor Of
regular powder magazines
Gen. Meredith and Gen. Slack, of Indiana
have arrived Gems. LOOMS and Parkhurst with
Col. Williams, Col. Hollis with Capt Adams, Capt
Mansfield and Capt BrownelI, all from Michigan
