I It will be seen by reading he pro ceedings of the Cleveland Abolition Con vention, that Abraham Lincoln and his administration," or government, if you prefer that word, were denounced with as much Virulence, if not more, than the same tiling could have been done by the rankest cop perhead in the country.

It is a little remarkable that a eoon as Kiiihwond gets in danger, the administration papers open a fire in the rear of the Commanding General. They did it- in the ease of Gen.- MeClellan. and now that Grant haa at last reached the neighborhood of the rebel capital, they be gin the same game with him. There is but ww motive in all this. Their object is to de stroy confidence iu Grant, prevent the cap tnre of Richmond, suture the removal of the military &yorite, and put him. out of Lin coln's wf in lite-contest for the Presidency.

As some parties have endeavored to create he impression that, the two hundred mil l'm five per cent, loan, now on the market, and advertised in this morning's Sentinel, Wsuld not bo taken, we give the following statement in relation to it, as announced by the Ttea tiny Department at Washington: . Authority to receive subscriptions tor the ten-forty bowls was given lirat on March i!3, 1864,. The first subscription was made on the 2.V.h'of that month. From Match 2otlf to May 7th inclusive, forty-four days, the subscriptions amounted to forty-four mil lions six hundred and six thousand and one hundred dollars. . By way of contrast it may be stated that the authority to receive sub scription for the five-twenty bonds was first riven April 29, 1862. The first subscrip tion was mode May 1, in that year. From May 1 to June 8 inclusive, thirty-nine duys, the subscriptions amounted to only five mil lions six hundred and twenty-six thousand three hundred and fifty dollars. . . -.The faoti that thsse bonds,' principal and interest, are payable in gold, and that they nre by Jnw exempt from Stale and mmiici ) al taxation gives them a special value over all other farms of investment.

The moticn was withdrawn, but renewed by Mr. arrct. -of Mo., who thought the time would vtnc wht-u every member would be proud of his connection with this Con vention, ar.d he desired the record to be made in order to show theworld that we are here f r a great and good purpose in spite of Lincoln and the Devil. It was fi nally Tesolvcd to enroll the names ofail pres ent, and that the only credentials required sh:li i' a ikehiritien that the delegate has come here in tesponse to the calls for the Cleveland Convention. The "Western, Al bany pnd New York calls were then read and laid on the table. The following committee waa Appointed to enroll the names of dele gates : John A. Milliard, John Suthausen, N. P.

The Speaker appointed Parker Pillsbury and Col. Moss a committee io notify Gen. Cochrane of his election, and escort him to the chair. Mr. Cochrane, on returning thanks, said that if the duty of this convent ion was well performed in accordance with the views and wishes of the people whom it represents, it will have advanced to a position that must command universal applause. We arc here occupying a common ground, that of the broadest and most catholic principles of De mccracy: we are here not lor party but for country. Three years atro, when the very life of the nation was threatened, all true patriots abandoned party and rallied to the support of the country ; but the hour is com ing indeed, it has almost arrived when the rebellion will have disappeared forever, and then it is that a Free people fhould re view the past, and must erect the necessary safeguards against the vicissitudes and dan gers of the future. It is at such a period that you have sa sembled; and while sustaining with all the vigor aud strength of a great people, actu ated solely by love of country, our armies iu the field, you are about to organize a civ il party at home to proclaim and maintain al a'l hazards, the great and immutable prin pies for which the soldier is so valiantly fighting in the field. Thus, and thus only, can the people of the land realize and en joy (he legitimate fruits of the sacrifices thev have made. The rebellion must be effectually and forever suppressed the Un ion must be preserved, We have not met here to indulge in any criticisms with which to weaken the Gov- eroieiit. and we are not here to throw any lmn diment in the way of the march ot our L-lorious armies. God forbid 1 No delegate is here to occupy any position unworthy of the broadest patriotism or tbe breast of a true Amerisan citizen. He saw before him men who, in days gone by, entertained essentially different views on the question of slavery, but events have so shaped themselves with regard to that and other great questions, within the past four years, mat ail can now stana upon common ground in regard to it. The effect of the rebellion. has Iiecn to destroy slavery, and the last vestige of it it must be wiped away. Ho alluded to the meeting ot the War Democratic Committee. A sympathizer characterized it as an idle farce : a commit tee without a constituency : and assured the convention that the war Democracy of N. Y.- are of sterner stuff than to be swayed by a few peddling politicians. While we proclaim all men on this conti nent free and equal, it is our duty to see that such assertion is literally true. We must have close and untiring regard for the civil rights of all, for if private rights are not respected, public liberty falls. Its basis is private and individual freedom. Its method is through such rights and we there fore declare ourselves emphatically and une quivocally for private, municipal and pub lic liberties. Never upon any plea or occas ion can the rights of the citizen be suffered to be invaded unwarrantably and with out due process of law. If circumstances require the enforcement of martial law, all other considerations must succumb to the necessity. But until then they should not be, they must not be infringed upon, how ever specious is the plea. Law is the inflex of order order is of God, and its sanctity must be kept inviolate. When that is strickeu down, goes with it our institutions and all. Intimately connected with these rights is the freedom of the press, and the Administration or man who would aim a blow at it is guilty of a crime no less than he who is a traitor to the cause of his coun try. - He alluded to the .right of asylum, and declared it to be a principle of which every American citizen ough to r;e proud, that the refugee from the despotisms of the 'Old World is welcome to our shores, and is to be presumed innocent unnil proved guil ty, under the ' laws of the free country in which to seeks an asylum from oppres sion. He spoke at some length in eulogy, of the MiHiroe doctrine, saying when we have got IhroYfrh with the rebellion, as we soon shall be. we will prove to the world that we have left will aud vigor enough to preserve the American' continent ..free from the poi nting tread of the myrmidons of foreign powers. ') Gen. Cochrane was frequently cheered, and resumed his nest cmid stoims of ap plause. ' ' A delegate from Iowa offered a resolution that each delegate pledge himself not to ac cept any office of trust, honor or profit from the Administration in power during the next Presidentud term,-. or be directly or in directly with any Government contract ; this prohibition' not to -be construed as to prevent any delegate from becoming an ac tive combatant in the army or navy. Lsughter. The resolution was referred. The President announced tbe following cornmitte on Resolutions. ' ' - - Thomas B. Carroll, N. T.; K. Ileneson,'. Mass.; JFranciu Hodman, SIo.;- Bird B. , (Tiinnman. Ohio: -Dennis Greincr. N. J.:' L; Haskall, CaL; Caspar Btrtz; 11).; James Dinsniort Pa.? J; B. Harmon, Wis.; P. C. C. Booto, Mich.; Charles Post, led.; S. Wolf, 1. C. . A recess was taken till 3: 3D P. M. AiKKUNoON 8KSAMN. The Convention was called to onler at 4 o'clock. The committee on Credential:, re ported that they loiind the following States represented : Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nt-w otk, Iowa, Mi.-curi, Michigan, Penn mvania. Maryland, Wii-consiii, Teniies, Maine, Indiana, New Hampshire, New Jer sey. Di.-ti ict of Columbia. The committee on resolutions not being prepared to report, Mr. Plumb, of N. Y., addressed the Acinibly in support of cx tron.o Ktdkal views. He was followed by Col. Moss, of Mo., who as-surcd bis audi tuco thut tbe woik of this convention wo'd be such as will mako those who have ridi culed it, and who have abu.-ed the confi dence of the people, sec and believe that it represents a power that makes success sure. John A. Milliard, of Conn, on resolutions reported sundry rules for the government of the convention, reccommending the rules of the House of representative, and to take the vote for candidates by States, accord ding to the representatives in Congress. tasper Biitz, of J II. . opposed voting by States according to Congressional represen tation, and favored the proposition to allow each delegate present one vote. Col. Moss favored voting as a great Na tional Mass Convention, each individual delegate to have an equal voice with his as sociates. After debate, Mr. Gilbert, moved to strike out the objectionable clause. Car ried. Mr. Carroll, chairman of the committee on liesolutions, reported the following res olutions: 1. liesahed, That the Federal Union shall be preserved, 2. That the Constitution and the laws of the United States must be observed and obeyed. ;t. That the rebellion must be suppress ed by force of arms and without compro mise. 4. That the rights of free speech, free press iand the huheas coij.un, be lield invio late, save in districts where martial law has been proclaimed. f). i'hut the rebellion has destroyed slavery and the Federal Constitution should be amended to prohibit its re-establishment, and to secure to all men absolute equality before the law. 6. That integrity and economy are de manded at ail times in the administration of the government, and 'that in time of war the want of them is criminal. 7. That the right of asylum, except for crime and subject to law, is a recognized principle of American liberty, and any vio lation of it cannot be overlooked, and must not go unpunished. 8. That the national policy, known as the Monroe doctrine, has become a recognized principle, and that the establishment of an anti-republican government, by a foreign power, on this continent cannot be tolera ted. 9. That the one-term policy for the Presi dency adopted by the people, is strengthen ed by the force of the existing crisis, and should be maintained. 10. That the Constitution should be so amended that the President and Yice Presi dent shall be elected by a direct vote of the people. 11. That the question of the re-construction of rebellions States belongs to the peo ple, through their Hepreseutatives in Con gress, and not to the President. 12. That the confiscation of the lands of the rebels, and their distribution among the soldiers, and actual settlers is a measure of justice. 13. That the gratitude and support of tbe nation is due to the faithful soldiers and ma rines, and the earnest leaders of the Union army and navy, for their heroic achieve ments and deatiless valor in defense of an imperiled country and of civil liberty. Mr, Carroll stated that the committee were unanimous on all the resolutions, save the last. As a matter of expediency it was thought advisable not to reeomend it, but the majority of the committee had instruc ted him to report it for the consideration of the Convention. At this juncture Mr. Gilbert announced the receipt of a letter from Wendell Phillips a synopis of which wa i telegraphed yester day, and as it had somewhat to say of the platform that ought to be adopted here, he moved it be now read. Carried, and the letter was warmly applauded while being read by the Secretary. Mr. Hansom, of New Jersey, moved that the question .on the resolutions be taken sepcrately. . A. J. Calvin of New York, said up to within the two years last past, he. bad never voted for any other than a Democratic tick et. Two years ago upon the question ot slavery and other great national questions he differed from his party, stepped out and voted for the lamented Gen. Wadsworth. Last year he voted the Union ticket, with the Chairman Gen. Cochrane, upon it. He come to this convention because he cannot, at the coming election, cast his vote for Abraham Lincoln. He could not approve of the principles and policy of his adminis tration. He assented in the main with the resolutions reported. Tbe Union must be preserved, and we must be preserved, and we must treat slavery as dead, never to be resumed. Tbe Constitution must be amen ded in this respect. He would go for that man for President who was loyal to the country and true to the platform that shall be put forth ; he can be elected beyond doubt. There is such a man one who can carry the state of New York over Abraham Lincoln by one hundred thousand majority. Lucius Kobinson, Comptroller of New York, unable to be present, had addressed him a letter on this subject, which he read as follows ... Staie op New York, Comptroller's Ofhck, Albast, May 28, li'04. J To Hon. 'A. J. Cohin: My official duties and the illness of my deputy, will prevent me from attending the meeting called for consultation at Cleveland on the 31st hist I trust that you will be there to aid, with your judicious advice. There was never a time when the safety and welfare of the country more imperatively demanded careful deliberation, with wise and resolute action. We have lived through three years of war, and have survived manv bad mistakes, simply because the popular mind haa been intensely fixed upon the sin gle purpose of suppressing the rebellion at all hazards and at every cost. This one idea has had such controlling power, and the masses have followed it so strictly that it has served as a substitute for proper governmental leadership, but it is evident the time ih near at hand when the re-establishment of order, the removal of the cause of the rebellion, and the repairing of .1 'ii i . i i mi me Tcrrinie ncsouiuoii it nas proaucea, win require at the head of the government the very highest qualities or leadership. How can we hope to live as a 'nation through the crisis before us with a weak Executive and CaWnct in a state of discord and anarchy. Will not the country be in eminent dancrer of falling into the same condition, wheti it ceases to nc field together by tne pressure ot war? It appears to me that a firm assertion of sound principles, and the election of our greatest men, regardless of former party or ganizations, are essential to the safety of the nation. Whether n nomination should lie made at Cleveland or not, can best be determined after meeting and consulting with those who will assemble there; but if it shall be decided to nominate, I have no hesitation in say'ng I believe the hopes of the people throughout the country are resting.: npon Gen. Grant as the candidate. , He has dis played the qualities whfeh give all men Con fidence. He hasshown himself possessed of great ability and still the most indomitable, courage ana the most unselfish devotion to the cause of bis country.' Victory has at tended him wherever he. has, gone. One year ago all confidence in the Administration was lost. The brilliant victories which have sinco been won by Gen. Grant hare so far restored it a to encourage the Administra. tion to attempt to r-e!ect i'sclf on the i-tiength of his aihievemcnts;' but in my judtu.int we should let him who has won honors wear them, and thouhl entrust pow er to one who ha shown .that he knows how to wield it. We shall then have a lead er at the head cf affair.-- in whom ail loyal men will have confidence; against whom there can le no prejudhxa, and whom all will aid with alacrity. (Signed,) L. Rokikfon. It was then decided to take up the. resolu tions separately. The first second, thild and fourth were adopted without dissent. Mr. Goodell moved to amend the fifth by declaring that slavery shall die, instead of saying that it is dead. For, said the mover, although it is legally dead, the f;n;t is that there are over 3,lMiO,(M of people now en slaved in the Southern States. He moved to substitute these words : "That slavery must be suppressed by the destruction of its motive cause, slavery-" Lost after debat, and the resolution was adopted. The Oth. 7th, 8th, Oth. luth, 11th, 12th and 13th were then adopted. Colonel Moss moved that the Convention now proceed to the nomination of candidates for 1 resident and Yice Pie.-ident upon this platform. Curried. Mr. itasoin moved to reconsider, believinsr that it would lie better policy to wait until after the Baltimore Convention. Mr. Delivers, of Troy, seconded the mo tion, believing that any nomination at this time would be premature and calculated to defeat the very objects of this Convention. He debated at lenirth iu eulogy of General Grant, and insisted that it would be unwise and unfair, if not suicidal, to press a nomi nation now. Col. Moss moved that John C. Fremont be declared the nominee of the convention for President of the United States. Mr. Kansom moved an amendment, that a nominating convention be held in Cleve land on the firt Wednesday iu September, ca h State to have a representation equal to that in Congiess. Lost on'y nine in the atlirninuve. Mr. Powell, of Washington, moved to adjourn over to the radical con vention at Baltimore on the lith of June. Declared out of Older. The nomination of Johu C. Fremont was then made by acclamation. Gen. Cochrane, li. Gratz Brown and (Jen. Butler were then named for Vice President. Mr. Cochrane said that it had been deem ed wise to choof e him Piesident of the Con vention. He was satisfied with that honor satisfied with the proceedings for he taw in them the establishment of a great party, and hcncefoith he would be content to labor, not for party success, but for the salvation of the country. Yesterday, for the first time, he had heard his name mention ed in connection with the nomination for Vice President. He doubted the wisdom of such a choice. It was his clear conviction that with such a platform, if the Conven tion will take some gentleman that is fairly identified with the war worn Democracy of the country, and place biin side by side wirl its chosen champion, it will establish a great and glorious party, whose principles, found ed upon Truth, Justice and Freedom, must succeed. Heartily indorsing these princi ples, he begged leave to retire. Mr. Gilbert, taking the chair, the ques tion was put, and the nomination of Gen. Cochrane confirmed, with but few voices iu the negative. Messrs. Gilbert. Moss, Greiner, Butz and Johnson were appointed a committee to re port a plan ol party organization, and a name for the party. Hecess till y r. iu. EVK.MNQ SESSION. 9:30 P. M. The committee not being irepare.d to report, a meeting was organized iv selecting Mr. Alden for chairman, and on invitation, Parker Pillsbury addressed the audience at some lenkcb, cxpressiiiK extreme anti-slavery views. Mr. Gilbert reported the following as the National Central Committee: New York, 'Edward Gilbert, V alter H. Shupe, Frederick Kapp ; Ohio, Bird B. Chapman; Missouri,' Eniile Prctorius, F. E. . Moss, Jos. E. Ltiutig; Kansas, James F. Leggett; iNew Jersey, L. ureiner; 1'ennsyl vauia. J. Wi Barker; Massachusetts, Wen dell Phillips; , Iowa, J. P. Sticbold; Mary land, Wm. Snethen; Indiana, Chas. Post; Illinois, Casper But,. Mr. Gilbert also reported the name ot 40. as the Badical Democratic parly, which was adopted by the Convention. Mr. Snethen moved that a committee of five be appointed to wait upon Generals rreinont aud Cochrane, and mtorm them ot their nomination. Carried. Messrs. Sneth en, Moss! Gilbert, Butz and N. P. Sawyer were appointed. After remarks by S. S. Foster, of Mass., the Convention adjourned sine die. The Aomlix es of the Cleveland Convention. The nominee for President, Gen. John C. Fremont, was the candidate of the lie-" publican party in the memorable campaign of 1856, being then dcfeatcd'by James Bu chanan. Gen. Fremont, in that year, was supported by most of the present adherents of Abrahaiu Lincoln ; and fliey cannot im pugn his "loyalty," for he, in fact, is the father of the Republican party, now sailing under the recently assumed name of "U nion." Gen. Fremont, when he led thq Republican party, and carried its waving banners, was styled the "Pathfinder of the Empire. " lie is the representative man of the lladical German clement of the country. He is bold and daring in his undertakings ; and, we apprehend, will not be driven IVoui the Presidential course by the paid officials of (he present Administration. His ener getic denunciation of the course of the Ad ministration; in suspending the writ of ha beas co pus, in districts not within the sphere of military oj c.a'ions; the fact that he is the author of the first Emancipation Procla mation ; that he is opposed to the establish ment of European domination on this conti nent, being a believer in the Monroe doc trine; have endeared him to a formidable body of men, who are determined, at all hazards, to drive into obseeurity an Admin istration they helped into power, bnt which has since its accession disgraced their repre sentatives, and, upon all occasions, compell ed them to get down in the dust. This ra dical element carried for Lincoln,; in I860, the States of Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and aided materially iu giving him the vote of the Empire State, Their disaffection is the most terrible blow the Administration has received. Their influence, too, in Ohioj is not inconsiderable; and, as the campaign progresses, we should not be surprised it it would be a knotty question as to which wing of the party is the stronger the Fre mont wing, or the one sustained, supported, and upheld by the Tax-Gatherers, Provost Marshals, Enrolling Officers, . Postmasters, &c, ... . General Fremont is a son-in-law of the Into . Colonel Benton; has been a United State Senator, and in talents is unquestion ably superior to Lincoln. If we had time to rc-pvoduce fioui our exchanges printed in 1856 their panegyrics upon Fremont, we think we could convince them from their own sheets, that Lincoln is infinitely his in ferior. " Gen. John Cochrane, of New York, is the nominee for Vice-President He was for merly a member of Congress, elected as such by the Democratic party, which he quaintly says "left bim on t)ie wayside a stragglor. General Cochrane was the Colonel of the 1st U. 8. Chasseurs a regiment containing several Ohio companies, from the North West districts and , was promoted to a Brigadier Generalship for his soldierly ac complishments. He resigned for some rea son pot known to us; but his "loyalty" and "demotion to the Union" were such that he wasjilaced upon the Republican State Tick et,of New York, last fall, and elected Attor ney General of that State a ffosition that he now holds Familiar with the politics of New York, and an old campaigner, he will add to Fremont's strength in New York a State that will bo fiercely contested in thecompaign in hand. , The nominations of Fremont and Coch rane disturb the nerves of. our Abolition eattmpomics, whbi are awaiting (tya action of the Convention to be presided over by that notorious natriot and preat old horse joeky.

He reported at dark that he had a considerable number cf prisoners, and that there wore many rebel dead and wounded on the field. He was ordered to hold the position, and at 10 P. M. the Sixth Corps set out to occupy it. We have not yet heard from Gens. Wright or Sheridan this morning, aud do not know whether the former got his troops to their destination. Gen. Smith must be close up on Gen. Wright's column. This morning the enemy arc also moving a heavy column in the same direction. The order has just gone to Warren tolall upon their flank. Wilson had a fight last evening near Hano ver C. H. with Young's brigade of cavalry. He routed Young, killed and capturing ma ny; but there has been a good deal of artille ry tiring this morning. Warren reported last night that in his fight of Monday afternoon, near Hethesady Church, Col. Tyrrell, of the 13th Virginia, and Col. Williss, commanding Pegram's brigade, were killed. Col.

Grant, dated this morning at Bethesda Church, 7 o'clock A. M., has just been received. It says that yesterday afternoon an attack was ordered to be made on our left, at Cold Harbor, by the Sixth corps, and die troops undering Smith. Warren, Burnsidc and Hancock be ing held in readiness to advance in their re spective fronts. The attack was make with spirit about 5 o'clock P. M., continuing un til after dark, and resulting in our carrying the enemy's works on the right of the Sixth corps, where we still hold them, and also the first line in front of Smith v The latter, however, were commanded in the rear, which made those carried untenable. The enemy made repeated assaults on each of the corp., not engaged in the main assault, but were repulsed with loss in every in stance. Several hundred prisoners were ta-.' ken, but cannot say what number, no esti mate either ours or the enemy's casualties. During the night the enemy made several assaults to regain what they had lost, but failed. No dispatches from any other quarter have reached the Department to-dav. (Signed) - E. M. STANTON. Washington, June 3, A dispatch from the Army of the Potomac, dated 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, says General Burney's divison advanceed against a breastwork held by Breckinridge's corps, on the south side of the Potopomy Creek, on a high eminence, a very strong position and one which might have been easily held against a vastly supe rior forco. The enemy after firing a round or two, and seeing a determination to take the place, evacuated and retreated to the woods. Our loss about twenty-five ; we took about filly prisoners, mostly belonging to Breck inridge's command. Some of them said they were in the valley, in the fight with Sigcl, but did not have to fight so stubborn ly as they did here. The attempt made to turn our left last night and to cut us off from the White House our new base of supplies, defeated with considerable loss on both sides. A dispatch from the Army of the Poto mac, dated Tuesday night, says the day be fore the Fifth Corps advanced from Hawes' Store, towards Bethesda Church, and drove the enemy about two miles. At sunset, while our men were engaged in digging rifle pits, Rhodes' and Early s divisons made an attack on Warren's right flank, causing him to fall back from his first hue. .. , The enemy then advanced and chanted the second line. Ketchem's brigade of heavy artillery was nested there and opened a heavy fire inconjunction with the batter ies on Doth flanks, which nearly demolished the rebel column of attack.. The enemy fell back in terrible disorder, and left their dead and wounded behind them. , ., , ,, 'Nothing has been heard from General Grant since his dispatch dated at seven o'clock yesterday , morning.

Smith's losses were inconsiderable. At six P. M., Wilson, with his cavalry, fell up on the rear of a brigade of Heath's division, which Lee had drawn around to his left ap parently with the intention of inveloping Burnsidc. After a sharp but short conflict Wilson (hove the enemy from their rifle pits in con fusion. He took a few prisoners. Fe had previously fought and routed Gordon's bri gade of lebel cavalry. During these lights he lost several officers,- among them Colonel Preston, First Vermont; Colonel Benjamin, Eighth New York t-.vva.lry, was severely wounded. Gen.

The progre-M of the nr.: cut, draft has demonstrated that the Earollmuit lists of this StiM are exeodinmiv errou-oas." -Fully one-half tho persons drawn thus far hawr beeu exempted on the ground of over-ag!),' alienage, minority or wou-rcsiden e. By the original addition of these num.? to our lists, our quota was correspondingly ' increased, and the State made liable for more men than would, on n correct enrolhn cnt, have been apportioned to us. Present indications are, that with correct enrollment lists, Ohio would not have been subjected to tho pres ent draft. : Iu view of the probability of another caii for troops,-the condition of th'?se lists be comes a matter of great importance to the people of the State. There h ive, hereto fore, bean serious obtaIe in tho way of correetinsr them, but I urn to-day notified by Colouel Potter, Assistant Provost Marshal General of the State, th:it under full power delegatsd to him, his will issue instruction;! to his assistants, and tho Boards of Enroll ment, to make all proper correction during the next ten days, by striking from tho rolls all names they may find improperly there, and adding such as they may li:ii have beea omi'tcd. :s.; Without aid from tha psople tho labors of these officers cannot be very effective. I therefore appeal to all citizens to give their attention to this matter. ' Every county and township is interested in it; and each town ship should send one or two men thoroughly acquaintad in such township to examine the rolls, and aid in their correction. See that names not properly there are stricken off and add others if you know they should go on. See, also, that tho names of meri now enlisted, or who have served two years in tho service, aro taken from the rolls. In a word, see that these rolls are mads a3 per fect as practicable. Ohio has no disposition to shrink ' from her full share of responsibility in this great struggle ; but our people have hitherto so well performed their duty, that no imputa tion can rest upon thein for desiring to fairly equalize the burthens of tho war, by so cor rectingher lists that only afair quota of man will be imposed upon her. i Very respectfully. :-., .

Prestdent Lincoln has pardoned Captain Black, of tho Quarter master's Department, Louisville, recently convicted by Court Martial, of frauds in purchase of mixed grain. His pardon was soured through the solicitations of his daughter, who, firmly be lieving in tho inno cenco Of her father, went onto Washington, and by her indomitable energy and brilliant diplomacy, succeeded in securing his release. She deserves great credit for the untiring devotion to the accomplishment of her ob ject, and the unbending and unwavering de termination which she manifest during the long and weary weeks she was compelled to wait for tbe full success of her undertaking. The parental devotion manifested in thiscasc is characteristic of true womanly character. Well might any parent be protid of such a child.
