Governor Bronge, of Ohio, who has had
n experience of many years as the leading
railroad manager at the West, and in that
ctpacity saw McClellan often, and knew
him thoroughly, Epoke as follows of bis char
acter in a late speech at Columbus:
"Gen. McClellan doubtless possesses per
sonal courage, but in places of responsibility
tit is one of the most timid and vascillating
men I ever knew. He once belonged to the
fraternity of railroad men; but there never
was a time when he would have given him
charge of the Little Miami, Columbus, or
any other finst-ciass road : because he
hadn't the ability to munaye it. Now think
of setting up such a man to negociate with
Jeff. Davis af'er his party shall have com
pelled an armistice !
They would put a 1
nian at the head of the Government, who
but for one failing, might have settled this
wzi mare tbaii a. year ago. But, alas! he

The Commission met at 11 o'clock,
pursuant to adjournment. The Judge
Advocate decided not to submit the case
lit present, fof" final decision; but argued
that by the decisions of the State Reports
of New-York, Indiana, Alabama, and Ar-
kausas. the prisoner had waived all furth-
er defense on bis part, and admitted that
he had no evidence to refute that offered
on the part of the Government.
The Commission adjourned, to meet on
Thursday, Oct. 13, at 2 o'clock p. ni.
The State Central Committee will to
morrow publish, the following spirited ad
dress: To the People of Indiana : The ex
posure of the Sons of Liberty has been
made. Every word is true. Harrison II.
Dodd, Grand Commauder for Indiana
has been on trial. The proof was over
whelming. Dodd was released from mil
itary prison on his parole of honor uot to
attempt to escape, and was granted quar
ters in the United States Court building.
Last- night he escaped from the third-story
winuow oy a rope; ouiy one man was
with him ; that man was Joseph J. Bing
ham. Innocent men do not do so. The
act confesses guilt. Citizens every day
shows that you were on the threshold of
revolution. You can rebuke this treason.
The traitors intended to bring war to your
homes. Meet them at the ballot box,
while Grant and Sherman meet them in
the-field.
This is no time to stand back. He
who doubts whether he is for the war,
cannot be trusted. The exposure made
will stand upon unimpeachable testimony
I kuow there arc unbelievers and skep
tics, but I know that the Sons of Liberty
meant treason. Not one fourth of the
testimony had been offered when Dodd
fled. Citizens, brand every man who is
a party to it. or who will not put his foot
upon it. I have been fair to all parties.
I have sent drafted men home tevote, ir
respective of party. The government fa
vors a fair ballot, and assertions to the
: contrary. are false. The war draws to an
end. You must whip the Rebellion, or
be whipped by it choose ye. I am no
i politician. I know from two years labor
what the secret order plots. I am pled-
gcd to prove all I have asserted of their
pian3 and purposes,
rae Qr not j tQ al, of
a ti that the election in Indiana
has becQmc a matter of national intereat.
Defeat trcason at home, and our armies
will rejoice, the rebellion will wither, and
you shall have a Uniou restored, with
perpetual peace. But let the Sons of
Liberty triumph, and you have no assu
rance of victory in front, or security at
home.
You may say that I go beyond the pro
vince of a soldier. I do not. Traitors
are traitors, wherever found, and my pro
fession brings me down upon traitors,
whoever approves, or objects. With you
is the duty and ,the solemn issue.
II. B. Carkington, Brig.-G'cu. TJ. S. V.
TnE Escape of II. 1L Dodd This
military prison night belore last about
'four o'clock in the morning. Mr. Dodd
ded by a rope, which he had by
ns procured, from the third sta
ted States building on the north-
yv t 1 T 1 -
rner ot unio anu rennsyivania
streets. At that time ot night it was
certainly a perilous adventure for Mr.
Dodd'. It is stated by those on duty at
the-time, that Mr. Dodd hauled up a rope
with iron clamps on the end of it, with a
twine string. . Then he made everything
fast, came down from the third story, lit
upon the pavement aud then practiced
ticed
hs legs. lodd would not have got on in
this wav if the jiuard up stairs, in the
thir story, of the building, could have got
out of the door as soon as they got the a
Jarm. They were vigilant, but it took
fifteen minutes to find the key, (the guards
'as well as prisoners were locked in,) and
by tho time they got down with their shot
guns, Dodd, as we said before, was non
est. We bclievcuthe latter quotation is
Latin, and a .e ward of one. thousand dol
lars a head is to-day offered by those in
authority for the recapture of Mr. Dodd.
He ought by all means to be brought to
the bar to answer for his sundry crimes,
conspiracies, misdemeanors and treasons.
We hope he may be speedily arrested.
