But no denial appeared. We then
remembered that he and ANDREW
JOHNSON were from the same town,
and regretfully concluded that We
were deceived in the former as We
had been in the latter. In this spirit
we penued the paragraph to which
Mr.. FLETCHER replies in this morn
ing's JOURNAL. His communication
will be found on the second page
We are gratifed that Mr.. FETCH
ER has taken this course to place
himself right with our people. We
regret that he was not more persistent
in demanding hearing in the papers
which started the SANDER against
him. We cannot think the Cincinna-
ii Gazette would do so unjournalistic
thing as to permit correspondent to
attack a member Of its own party and
then refuse him space to reply in de-
tense. IF it has done so, our
confidence in its fairness has been
misplaced. No such ale alton shall
ever rightfully be made against the
JOURNAL.
1t is hamiliating and discouraging
to the Republicans Of the Northern
States to witness the dissensions and
chickering's that distract and weaken
the Union men in the Southern
States. Where everything is in dan
ger of being lost for want of harmo-
ny, and much to be gained ty concord
of action, Union men, with strange
and unaccountable insanity, are di-
recting their fire against each other
instead of firing at the common foe.
The same trouble that exists in Ten
nessee, Of which Mr.. FLETCHER gives
us his version, is istracting the Union
men Of Alabama, Georgia, Virginia
aad Mississippi, ana there is great
danger that the Constitutions adopted
by the recent conventions, will be de-
feated because o: these discussions.
But we are gratifed to know that
MIR. FLETCHER has not been guilty of
the action against which we felt it
our duty to protest. We think it
folly for him to talk about retiring
to private life. It is no time for
Union men to fall back. Veterans
must remain at the front. Men of in
fuence like him must DO their best to
harmonic differences and consolidate
the Union party. Tennessee owes
reparation to the Republican party,
in having furnished it ANDREW JOHN
SON for Vice President, that years of
fidelity alone can make.

Secretary Fletcher's Communities

88f ttOHs
Some time ago, several telegraphic
items appeared in the Cincinnati pa
pers, announcing that Mr.. A. J.
FLETCHER, Secretary of State in Ten
nessee, was taking steps to divide the
Union party of that State. II was
stated, further, that he was organ
izing movement to prescribe Union
men from the Northern States who
had located in Tennessee. These dis
patches seemed to be we'll autl enti
Gated, and they were not coufneI to
one paper. Surprised at the intelli
gence they conveyed-for We
had hoped better things Of Mr..
FLETcHER-se cut them out, and
let them remlin on our tab e
for several days, expecting that
the statements would be denied by
Mr.. FLETCHER OF some of his friends.

SAN FRANCISCO.
Singular Tidal Phenomenon at San
Pedro, &c.

SAN Francisco, August 19.-Tbe
steamer Constitution, from Panama,
arrived to night.
August 10Th a singular phenomenon
occurred at San Pedro, Southern
California. A series of waves COM
menced flowing upon the coast, caus-
ing the tide to rise three or four feet
above ordinary high water, followed
by falling tide some distance below
low water mark The rise and fall
occurred regularly every half hour for
several hours, creating considerable
alarm among the inhabitants there
abouts. The incident is attributed
to some marine disturbance, causing
the bottom of the sea to rise and fall,
thus impelling waves toward the
coast.
Informa ION has been received that
Monsieur Croze1to, French Consul at
this port, has been appointed Consul
General of France for the Pacific
coast, which title ne will assume on
his return from Europe.

The County Convention.

The official call for the Republican
County Convention is published this
morning, for the 4th day of Septem-
Der next. 1t is gratifying to know
that the Executive Committee have
secured the attendance of General
RICHARD j. OGLEsBY, Governor of
Illinois, gallant soldier, and one OF
the most eloquent and popular orators
in the whole country. We are glad
to know that Gov. CONRAD BAKER
has also promised to be present. lie
is our townsman and our highly
esteemed w-eitizen, and we hope
that the County Executive Committee
will give the people of Vanderburgh
County an opportunity at that time OF
testifying their high regard for him
as citizen, a soldier, and as the
Chief Magistrate of the State. We
predict that it will be such demon
stration as will pale the ineffectu
al fires with which the Democracy
a few evenings ago welcomed to this
city Senator HENDRICKS.

parties, none of which can suffer
more than temporary Inconvenience
from their losses.
The capital of the Allentown Roll
ing Mill Company is $500, 600, besides
which there had been accumulated
considerable surplus, which will pre-
vent any very serious impression be-
ing made on the capital of the COM
pany.
1t is satisfactory to the friends OF
Cobalt to know that, bad as the case
is, he does not appear to have used
his official position as President of
the Rolling Mill Company for the
purpose of raising money, his specu-
iative operations being carried on by
the hands of Cobat a Co, as brokers.
