Doc. 15. Gov. Dennison's proclamation. State of Ohio, Executive Department, August 28, 1861. To the People of Ohio: In your efforts to aid the General Government in the suppression of the unnatural rebellion now waged against it, you haveOhio: In your efforts to aid the General Government in the suppression of the unnatural rebellion now waged against it, you have anticipated the wants of that Government, and have promptly responded to whatever demands it made upon you, as liberally in the expenditure of treasure as in furnishing soldiers. The public service has not languished for one day when your resources. The promptness of your response to the previous calls of the Government is its assurance that all it now expects of Ohio will be immediately realized by the enrolment of volunteers enough to complete the regiments being formed. A general orlete the regiments being formed. A general order will forthwith be issued from the office of the Adjutant-General, defining the condition of the service, the modes of recruiting, and the places of rendezvous.

Doc. 20. meeting of citizens of Indiana. On Saturday, August 31st, a mass meeting of the people of Ohio and Switzerland counties, Indiana, was held on the Fair Grounds, at Enterprise, for the purpose of having a fair and candid expression of the people in regard to the difficulties of the country. The attendance was about two thousand, notwithstanding the notice of the meeting was short and no handbills were printed. The meeting was called to order by Hon. Wm. H. Powell. A committee of five--Messrs. E. Case, Joseph Malin, Oliver Ormsby, J. W. Howard, Jacob R. Harris — were selected by vote of the people to draft and report resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting. After a short speech from Mr. Case, the meeting adjourned until one o'clock. Immediately after dinner the people collected in and around the amphitheatre, and a patriotic speech was made by the gentleman selected to address the people, which was well received. After which the recruiting officers rece

from none of them, hitherto, had we been able to see more than the foliage-masked sides, and forest-top summit lines of the nearest hills on either side. Here we were on a point that overtopped the whole country westward to the borders of our own Ohio, and from that fastness for guerillas, (if not den of thieves,) the eye reached from range to range of tree-covered hills, that rose and fell, in the magnificent panorama spread out before us, like the billows of the ocean, growing smaller as they and wounded across the Gauley. A regard for truth prompts me to say that we found no dead within their lines, which goes to display their cowardice more conspicuously. The conduct of our gallant Buckeye troops — for they were exclusively from Ohio — is a theme of admiration. With the exception of a few who straggled from their commands after fling a few rounds, the lads displayed not only the most eager courage, but staying qualities which would have delighted veterans. The generals were

armies which an insane despotism sends among us to subjugate us to the iron rule of Puritanical New England. Let the sons of Kentucky--the descendants of those gallant men whose names adorn the brightest pages of our history — decide the fate of our own State. Our banner has floated proudly wherever it has been displayed. Under it we have fought the battles of the country in the North and in the South. Under its folds our fathers drove back the savage from the homes of infant Indiana and Ohio. In gratitude, the sons of those whose fathers were rescued by ours from the tomahawk and the scalping knife return to drag us in chains at the feet of a relentless despotism, which is already pressing heavily upon themselves. When in the hour of our country's peril the extreme North slunk away from the raging contest, thousands of Kentuckians poured into the frozen North to fight on British soil the battles of New England. In return she sends us her hosts of fanatics to despoil us of our

Captain Lamb; Company K, Captain McCutcheon; and Company H, under Lieutenant Werner, all of the Fifteenth Indiana Volunteers. Lieutenant Driscoll of the Third Ohio Volunteers, volunteered to lead a scouting party, consisting of ten Indiana and ten Ohio riflemen. Lieutenant Bedford, acting Captain of our scouts, volunteered to accompany the expedition. The cavalry was taken from Captain Bracken's Indiana company. Slept the first night on our arms, with half the command awake at a time, with noone of them previously, as he said, uttering a short prayer for his victim, whose chest was then burst open by his annihilating Minie ball; the other man's gun failing to discharge, they took the two living secesh prisoners, and recaptured the two Ohio boys. Indeed, I believe there were a few men of the Twenty-fourth Ohio who came up and rendered slight service at the conclusion of the action. This afternoon the remains of Junod and Weinder were carried in by their companions in peril, they

Millroy's Ninth Indiana drove in the enemy's advanced pickets, and deployed to our right, driving the enemy on that flank into his intrenchments. Kimball's Fourteen. Morgan, Evan Evans, G.

looking out sharply for the enemy, and whispering low to each other of what they would do should he come. On reaching the: top of the hill we found twelve hundred noble fellows, from Indiana and Kentucky regiments, which had held the ground so well in the morning, and the Seventeenth and Fourteenth Ohio. During the afternoon they had thrown up a timber work shoulder high, with trench and parapet, around a space of an acre and a calf, a work unparalleled except by that of the rest of the two Ohio regiments, which had thrown a well-constructed breastwork across the whole of the Winding Glades ridge, in addition to slaying more timber, as a Kentuckian said, than his whole State could cut in a month. From the summits of the Round Hill we could see the lights of the enemy's camp-fires blazing in a narrow valley two miles away, in easy range for our artillery if it had been furnished with shell enough to experiment a little on the shattered nerves of the secessionists. On our way bac

been told by the secesh that the Abolition troops rejoiced to kill Southern babies and were in the habit of carrying little children about on their bayonets in the towns which they took; and this was actually believed. Friday morning, when Capt. Laughlin left, the people at West Liberty were more reconciled. They had received a lesson. Col. Harris was expecting orders to join Gen. Nelson, to take part in the expedition to Prestonburg. Gen. Nelson was at Hazel Green with two regiments of Ohio troops, and Colonel Metcalf's Kentuckians, and there was another regiment of Ohians at Mount Sterling, pressing forward. Colonel Harris was within thirty-five miles of Prestonburg, and Gen. Nelson ten or fifteen miles south of Col. Harris, and about the same distance from Prestonburg. It was reported that the rebels were about three thousand strong at that place, and without artillery, though it was undertsood that six pieces for them were on the way through the mountains of Virginia. Col.

r regiment, the Fourth Ohio, received orders from Gen. Kelley to pack up and move from Fort Pendleton to New Creek, and there join him with other forces in a march upon Romney. We left camp on Friday morning, under command of Col. John S. Mason, appointed, vice Col. Lorin Andrews, deceased, and arrived at New Creek in the evening, marching the distance of twenty-six miles in twelve hours. Lieut.-Col. Cantwell was with us, although he had bid us farewell the day before, expecting to return to Ohio to raise another regiment, as Colonel, by authority of the Governor. We joined Gen. Kelley's column on Saturday morning, and made a rapid march toward Romney, distant nineteen miles, in order to engage the enemy, who was supposed to be four thousand strong, at three o'clock P. M., the time fixed for the fight. We were to be supported by another column moving from Cumberland, that was to come in by way of Springfield, and make a simultaneous attack upon the enemy in the rear. At about h

Mr. Thomas distinctly averred that there was nothing in the designs of the Chief Magistrate, or of any of his Cabinet, to lead any person in Maryland to believe that they purposed interfering with the institution of slavery. In New York and Ohio the Democratic party had lost power by showing more sympathy with Southern rights in years gone by than was right. At the present time, however, as if to show that the design of the Republican party was not to interfere with the institution in the Southern States, the party had invited the Democratic party into a union with them on the only true ground of supporting the Union as it is. They had elected a Democratic Governor in Ohio, as well as representatives in Congress, by large majorities, and in New York they had also elected Democrats by triumphant majorities. Thus in two populous States they had abandoned the principles of the party, and made combinations with the Democrats in order to cherish the Union. In this State he regrett
