Catholic Bishop of the new See of Wilming

Frank Blales Strategy.
Our contemporaries of the Republican
faith are being considerably exercised over
the brutally stupid. letter of Gen. Frank
Blair, which procured him the nomination
Itt'the-bandit — Whit' Soixtberil - arlinireli.
, Such indignation is a great 'waste ora good'
material. Frank is harmless. The'reallf
dangerous man is the one leading the ticket.
Frank 'means war fast enough, but lacks
the capacity to understand it, and so enforce
his meaning. ,
A. gallant officer, and one--more shame to
him—of Frank's own faction, told us, not
long since, an anecdote illustrative of this
bit of Flair's practical capacity. In one of
Gen. Sherman's great moves ' Gen. Blair
commanded a division in the advance that
had our narrator, with his brigade, as a part
of the force. One morning 'the column
'came to a halt. The men fell-out, and hour
after hour went by in idleness. At' last our
friend rode to the front, and found Gen.
Blair reconnoitering the passage of a river
that had a house on the opposite bank, and
people moving about in a very suspicious
manner. Gen. Frank had fixed his head
quarters for the time under some shady-trees
and through field glasses, and glasses of
cock tail, was trying to comprehend the
situation: In this he was being efficiently
aided by his staff. Gen. Frank had selected
his staff withp,reat care. One was supposed
to have been a comic opera singer, from the
way he could appear. in his linen only, and
convulse headquarters with a funny song.
Another was thought to be a professional
bar-tender—he could select liquors and mix
drinks with such efficiency. Another was,
- evidently. an inspector of the ballet, for he
could tell a pretty girl at any distance. Na
poleon, in the creation of his marshals, never
displayed a keener knowledge of the fitting
agent than Gen. Frank Blair in the selection
of his slaves. Between -the drinks and
~curses, songs_ and laughter, the precious
hour's went by-
'At last an ordeily volunteered to ride his
horse over, and reconnoitre in person. Gen.
Frank consented, and ordered the man to
strip naked before plunging in. The order
ly did as directed, and about plunging into
I
the river, when Gen. Sherman dashed by.
. "What is the meaning of this ?" he de
manded. .
General. Frank explained.' "Tut, tut,"
responded Sherman, in his quick, nervous
way. "That is all very well for this brave
fellow, but it isn't war. Here, fetch me a
piece of artillery. Now, my good fellow,"
he continued to the Lieutenant in command
of the gun, "see how near you can send a
shell to the roof of the house without hit
ting It."
'hie order was obeyed, and in five min
utes a white'tlag was ran up, and a toa
came over to. say that the house was a hos
pital, with a few sick and wounded Confed
crates lett 'zit.
After that any suggestion from General
Frank Blair was met by his officers with the
cry, ,"Tut, tut, General, that is all very
well, but it isn't war."

is applicable now. His letter is atrocious

says: "The poem in question was written
by General Halpin, who brought it to the
Tribune office himself, and delivered it to

George Boweryem had any connection with
it- that there. was; any drainatic scene
about it, is purely imaginary.; Besides,
General Halpin° never concealed - the' fact
that he was the author of the piece; 'which,
in his later years, he used to speak 'of as

MR. GEo. M. WESTON, who lita3 the De

MAJOR CARTER, Republican candidate for
Congress nythe Vllth District of Indiana,
was speaking to the people of Clay county, -
when a Democrat asked hiM to defend the
unequal bearing of the income tax on farm-
era, laborers and others. He answered by a
statement showing that • but a single farmer -
in the county paid income tax but that,
being under Democratic rule, the county
texts were from 30 to 100 per,cent. heavier ,
than they are in the Republican counties.
The same thing is said to be true in every

all pay the , heaviest local taxes. It is true,
also, of the principal counties of New York..

by him last week. He said: '"He loved---.
the American flag as dearly, he declared. as ,•
any other man, so long as it represented s.
government, in the bands of the Democratic

Democratic party is beaten at the polls, then
Rynders and his party are for tearing
the stars and stripes. That is precisely, as
the rebels felt and acted in 'lB6l. They
tore down the American flag because. the'

A Curuous RuPouT.--The• "Veteran Oh-•
server" writes from Cincinnati' to the
Tima a curionareport that Mr. Seymour,
"convinced of the hopelessness of his elec
tion and anxious "to carry out his original
pledge to Chase (a pledge which Vallandig
ham says.would, in one hour more, have
been fulfilled by Chase's nomination,) has •
been corresponding with the dPlegates to
the Convention to get them to release him
and nominate Chase in his stead." Ho
adds, on the authority orthe Cincinnati
Gazette, that "this was only prevented by is
the Ohio delegation - , whose personal for
tunes, at least that of some of them, de
pended on the - issue. I have intimations
from other quarters that such a negotiation
has-taken place. and I know that some of
the conservatives expected it to succeed."
A CORRESPONDENT of the Detroit Tribune,
an old resident or Detroit, who hait voted ;
constantly in the Democratic party, writes
from Kent county, in that State, that many '
Democrats there have arrived at the con- -
elusion that the Democratic National Con..
v e ll u m ' was controlled by rebels, aided by
sympathizers from the North, East and
Nest, and that if victory was secured such
men would again control party movements,
and hence will not - support Seymour and
Blair. The writer of the letter Was pm-.

by a Colonel who was a Democrat, and his
