Kelar left on the 18th of February and She
left on the evening of the 18th that the last
she had seen of him was week previous to
him since: nor did she know of his where
abouts. She denies that she was ever on init
mate terms with Kellar, and states that she
dealt at his store, but did not 60 there oftener
than once in week or two. Sometimes ke
lar would deliver goods at her house in per-
son, but that this was seldom the case. 1t was
true that she left without her husbands knOwl-
edge, and at the time she did not intend to
her. Having a sister living at Lamotte,
Michigan, whom she had not seen for
several years she determined to pay her
a visit. For sometime past, owing to the
Interference of some outsiders, she had not
been on the best of terms with her husband

band, she with her little girl took passage on
the $50 train, and went to New York. She
left a note at the house for her husband relat-
ing to business matters and household affairs
After reaching her sisters she thought over
having left in the manner she did, and on the
Sd OF March wrote to her husband, but he did
not receive this letter, and she wrote again
and he answered it on the 18th of March Since
which time they have kept up a correspOn-
dence. She states that had it not been for the
damag ing reports which have been put in cir
culatiOn she would not have thought of re-
turning, but conceived it her duty to set her
self right. She repeated that Kellar's where
time ago she heard Kellar and another man
talking OF going to California.

Col. TOM WoRTHINGroN had but very
slim audience at Tallmadge Hall last evening
TO listen to his discourse on Shiloh" His
effort was directed to proving that Generals
Sherman; Grant and Halleck wanted to lose
!. that battle in order to prOtract the war This
hat al ul,
sherman expected an attack on the ith of
April, 1852, Buell. was ordered not to bring up
contradictory orders to Gen. Lew Wallace, the
detention OF Gen. Nelson at Savannah with
his troops, and various other circumstances OF
the battle. The keeping back of Buell. was for
two-fOld purpose-one to destroy the Union
army, and thereby prOtract the war and the
other to destroy Buell. and build up Sherman.
The 10Th Ohio saved the Union army at Shiloh
thereby destroying Sherman's plans; for this
reason sherman wanted to destroy Colonel
Morlhlngton, who commanded the 18th Ohio.
he would not accuse Gen. Sherman of cow
ardice. but of treachery. The lecturer was
also severe on Gen Grant saying that in the
midst OF the battle he was ordered to report
Plttsburg Landing, with his cigars, whisky
and cards while hundreds of men were falling
ON both sides every minute.
The opinion of the audience was that the
speaker was a little crooked.
