The telegraphic reports have stated that Mr.
Vallandigbam bad been nominated as tbe Dem-
crmtic candidate.lor Governor of Ohio. This is
not the case. The State convention has not -yet
assembled. Mr. Vallandigbam, however, is
generally spoken of in connection wiih the
which she shares in common with her sister
Slates, as a member of the war making power.
What his course would be, if any Yankee offi*
cers captured since the 1st of January, should
' be handed over to him bythe Confederate au-
'tboritieS, this tetter abundantly indicates. He
would not trouble himself much with meiaphys*
ical disquisitions upon the absolute sovereignty
of the State and the qualified delegated sover-
commanded. “These things may, to a certain ]
extent, be supposed .to have demoralized the
army—to somo extent they have done—but, I
yet, to no great extent”—considering the
cause of discontent, circulating through the
army, by means of letters and newspapers,
the news of the day—the Lincoln Proolama- I
tioD—its - effect upon the publio mind—tho
came not.
Then, there arose up one among them, and
they listened, for they knew hint, the young
chief of the braves ot the swift-footed Horse;
and he, the Sunny Hearted, said: “I will go

she may lead us forth with the warriors of her
sisters.’ ’
