The spirit of the past comes
up to bear testimony in favor
of our candidate for Governor.
Seven years ago, when Sher.
man was pushing his way to
Atlanta, and no person had a
thought that Gen. Noyes would
ever be Governor OF Ohio, a
correspondent ofthe Cincinnati
Gazette, under date of "Near
Chattahoochee River, July 6,
1854" after describing the
charge of our troops where
Gen. Noyes lost his leg, pays
the following tribute to his
worth:
"Among the wounded was
Col. Eff. Noyes, of the 39th
Ohio, who had command of the
charging column from Veatch's
front. A brayer, truer officer
than Col. Noyes, or a more &C.
complished gentleman, does
not belong to the army, and bis
loss to the service will be
keenly felt, especially in his
own division.
lie was wounded in the leg
just as he reached the works, and
SO severely as to necessitate It's
amputation between the knee
and ankle. The amputation of
a leg during this hot weather is
almost equivalent to an ampu-
tation Of the neck; and yet the
surgeons are aanguine of Colo
mel Noyes' recovery. He is of
a ptucky, cheerful disposition,
not easily discouraged, and aoas
a man Of strictly temperate hab.
its, and these conditions, so
greatly TO his adcantage, mag
pOssi6ty SAGE him." S.

Of 400 men and horses, and wild ami
mails from oil parts Of the world, to,
gether with large and talented circus
company, whose performances are held
in another tent, we are of opinion that
oil who attend this really meretOrious
establishment will receive the worth Of
their money. Read what Pittsburg

Forepaugh's menagerie and circus
organization arrived here yesterday
morning and mado one of the most inn
posing professions ever witnessed up
on cur streets. Prof. F:ank's military
band, seated in a gorgeous golden char
lot, drawn by sixteen spotted horses
headed the cavalcade and enliyened the
splendid street pageant with their
choicest music. Then came the ele-
plants magnifcently decked, and cam.
els and ponies gayly plumed and ca
parisoned, followed by the largest array
Of animal cages, all drawn by one hun
dred horses, every one of which was II
perfect model of beauty The two tents
were erected upon Union Skating Park,
and although it commenced raining at
about eleven o'clock, yet the attendance
was large at both the afternoon and
evening exhibitions.
We entered the menagerie tent.
There was the sacred bull with his
hump, his digniGed and serene bearing.
There were leopards, and q panther, q
little more wild. There WAS o polar
bear, who had poorer opinion of the
weather than the most invcterate of
our native grumblcrs, and who con-
tinually swung his head from side to
side in way that was suggestive of
extreme discomfort with his quarters.
There was very handsome pair Of
lions.
In the centre Of tho pavilion were
the dromedarics and camels, the most
contented 10 appearance Of all the ami
mails; and the two elephants so greedy
for cookies and conlectionar;es as to
suggest a suspicion that they were in
league with the dealers in those arti.
cles at stands near by, and who were
patronized chiefly by children in
terested in their odd way Of feeding
themselves. At the end of the row was
the unique feature ofthe African Gland,
the nyl gau, and the kangaroo.
Among these were hyenas, llamas, a
zebra, monkeys and other animals be
