taxation in proportion, which has adopt
ed a policy with the Indians on the
frontier so wise and humane as to rem

which by tn, honorable settlement OF
the Alabama question has removed the
last OF our difficulties with foreign ma

A ratification meeting wac held to-
night at which speeches were made by
Senator Thurman aud others.
The Convention was mainly compose |
Of Federal, State and county office
holders, and, in regard to numbers, was
success. What seemed to he most
wanted was enthusiasm. A more lnan.
innate body Of men | never saw before
1t seemed as il everything had been cut

do was to vote. Two negro delegates
took part in the proceedings, one from
Cincinnati and one from Columbus.
The following circular was industrI-
ouslv distributed among the members Of
the Convention on Tuesday evening
last:
ave, the undersigned, members OF
the 39th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, do
hereby certify that during the campaign
against Atlanta, the conduct OF our
Colonel, Edward +. Noyes, was such as
to excite the disgust and pity Of all the
soldiers His conduct was cowardly
throughout, and his want Of courage led
him into the grave error OF trying
to conceal the fact by resor,lng
to intoxicating drinks. In front OF Re.
SAGA he was 50 cowardly and drunk and
made such a disturbance, that he was
reprimanded By the Commanding officer,
General Dodge, and when the firing
commenced was so imbeclle that
the Lieutenanant Colonel, Henry I.
Mcdowell, had to take command OF
the regiment and lead them into
rough action and take them into camp.
All through this memorable march he
was an object of disgust and pity to the
soldiers in command Had not charity
fo- a crippled and fallen man restrained
us. these facts would never have been
made public in this shape-were it not
for the Infamous attempt 10 lace this
unworthy man at the head OF the
great State OF Ohio.

Volunteers.
