From the Appeal OF this mornins.l
SMoEY.-The hills and mountains
hereabout for several days have been
but dimly visible from the valley, owing
to the prevalence of smoke in the at.

places on the mountains. In three in.
stances that have come to our knowledge
the fires on the mountains were caused
by lightning.

OHIO POLITICS.

The Democratic party Of Ohio is with
out a leader. General Rosecrans de-
clines the soft impeachment of embryo
G~ubernatorial honors, and will not lead
them to victory, having sent so many Of
their friends to their death. It was an
insult to have offered q Democratic
nomination to q Union soldier whose
record during the wal was not furnished
by any act Of disloyalty, no matter how
unsuccessful he might have been, or
how at tho tnrniug point of the war he
was %supplan:ed.
The tim~pudence of Democrats in seek
ing within the Republican ranks for
candidates through whom they may
hope to ride into power, is not amazing.
The good, big, old-fashioncd Democratic
party will do anything politically. We
admire General Rosecrans for having
declined the honor Of being defeated by
one Of his li%eutenants. In his dispatch
dated from San Francisco, last Satur-
day, he says:
After the war I resigned q very desirable
position in the army, and left the State to
secure at least the possibility Of fulfilling du-
ties deemed sacred to my creditors and fami-
". Those duties forbid me the honor oflead-
ing the Democracy of Ohio in the pending
canvass for Governor.
This will necessitatc the assembling
of another State Convention, as the
Central Committee declines the resrons-
Utility Of nominating some n in his
place. Who wants to be defeated for
Governor of Ohio?
