As this distiBcuisbed amy oillcer cd citl geu of Ohio bat just beta selected by ths Union party at their candidate for Governor, and will undoubtedly be triumphantly electee, it is meet that the people of the State thould be instructed as to his antecedents, and mora especially that they should be conversant with the brilliant services he bat performed in the terrible conflict just now so happily closed by the collappe of the so-called "Southern Cod-federacy, We propose, therefore, to give, our readers a truthful and correct sketch ot ni career, from bis birth to the present time, col lated from data now being collected by the publishing bouse of Messrs. Moore, VYilstncu & Baldwin, of this city, for their forthcoming "History of Ohio's Participation in the War of the Itebeihon. The subject of our sketch was born Octo ber 27, 1828, and is of tbe staunch old 1'uri tnrj stock, bis parents being both natives cf the United States, and bis mother a lineal descendant of Elder William Brewster, of the Mayflower. ' ilis father was for rhany'years a master bUilucr, in the city oiNew York, and the boyhoo and youth of Gen. Cox was passed in tbut city. In 1846, thnn barely 19 years of age, he emigrated to Ohio, and entered Oberlin College, where be graduated In 1851, In 1853 he settled at Warren, Tram bull county, Ohio, nnd began the practico of tbe law. Ills evident fitness lor the position. bis eloquence as a public sneaker, and succoss at tbe bar, soon maiKed nun as a rising man. and in 1859 tbe Republican party of bis Dis tnct elected bim cyan overwhelming majority as their representative id tbe senate or Ulno, which position he held at tbe outbreak of the rebelliou, we all recollect ine almost ueip' position in which our great State was found at this ti mo. J he many yoari of pros parity and peace had almost obliterated even tbe idea or war. we orta no mmtia system at least if we had, it was moiely nominal, and not cf the least possible force. Tbe arms that had been from time to time furnished by the General Government, bad long been rcn deroj useless by inattention, and were rotting in nuknown warehouses and cellar in differ ent parts of the State. General Cox bad for some time beld the nominal position of Major General of tbe militia or tbe state, and went to work at once in preparing legislative enact ments which should put Ohio in preparation for the impending shock of war ; and in this important duty tho-men excellent ugvornor, Win, Dennison, bad no more competent or energetic assistant. " When the uews of tbe bombardment of Sumter came, Senator Cox abandoned all oth er duties to assist in organizing the Ohio con tingent, in rosponso to the call of President Lincoln for 75,000 TOlantearS. Lincoln for 75.000 volunteers, bo eilicient and energetic were bis services that oa the 23d of April, lobl, be was commissioned by Governor Dennison. as Brigadier General of Ohio volunteersall the officers noder that call being commissioned by the Governors of the several states, it will be recollected tbat at tbe same time Gen. McCIellan was selected by the Governor as Major General. The first duty devolving npon General Cox waa to assist General McClellaQ in an inspection of the Suite, and in making estimates for the arming and equipping of 10,000 men Ohio' qnota or the 7o,UUU 1 ne interior or that ancient edifice presented a woful dearth of warlike stores not even enough to pot into the field a battalion of Infantry or a battery of artillery. In fact the State was completely defenceless, except by tbe brave hearts and muicnlar arms of its patriotic people. Not daunted, however, by this terrible lnck of material, tbe 1st and 2d Ohio Infantry were organized and dispatched to the seat of war at WashiDgton tJity, tbeirarms being mrnish-ed them at Harrlsborg, Penn., as they passed through tbat city. - :.:: ;.' ' To receive the volunteer! who we coming into Columbus by companies, Camp Jackson wai established and Gen. Cox place 1 in command. :. This camp served but temporary purpose. It wot soon manifest that a larger area of ground was necessary for the organization, and instruction of the recroits who were .pouring in by the thousand. Then it was that the now well known rendezvous (Camp Dennison) was selected. On the 30th of April Gen. Cox, with the 11th and part of the 3d Ohio Infantry, took train from Columbus and landed at the new camp. ' The t olor line was formed on the west of the railroad, in corn and wheat, fields. A train load of lumber was nnicklv transferred from the cart to tbe ground npob tha men's backs, tools were distributed, and before night barracks were nenrlv romnleted. " An old barn, anliae. fluently used for hospital, became the Qnar-terniaator's abd Commissary's depot, mess kettles and pans were issued, and Ohio sol diers began tbeir first experience In real camp life, cooked rations having been issued in all preTlorft placet of rendezvous. That night still further inducted the raw recruits in(6 the perils and difficulties of a soldier's life, a heavy rain having converted tbe light, loamy soil of the camp into a e of .liquid mud a soft bed to be sure, but terribly uncomfortable one to tbe nntried soldier, who was wholly Ignorant ef Hit ingenious expedient of tbe veteran campaigner. - "! ' ' ' The two regimentt above named were qnifkly followed by tho 4;h, 7th, 8th, 12th, and 13th ; and few week! later Gen. BaUs bron-lit in his brigade the 511), 6th. 9tb, and 10th Iir;monts whfch hnd .been organized i at Camp Man-leou, pear Cincinnati. Tb ' ' wn 1 1 ; ...... completed the Contingent of Ohio under tbe first cull fur troops, and until ths latter part of June tbe time was profltubly tthd Industriously employed io fitting them for the field. At that time tbe organisation: fur tlld throb years' tnrvlco ' was commenced. Alt of the original regimopta at or. re ro-enlisted, and Gen. Cox was appointed by tbe President Brigadier General of United States Volunteer, to rank from 15th May, 1RG1. ' Ou the Oth of July Ge.n. Cox wna ordorod by Gen. McCIellan to take a brigade, consisting of tbe Uth and 12th Ohio aad the 1st and 2d Kentucky lufantry, to the mouth of the Great Hauawha river, in West Virginia, where tboy would be joinod by the 2 1st Ohio, Cotter, battery of light afllllnry, and. Pfau'l Cincinnati troop of horse, Tbe volley of the Kanawha was formed Into the District of tbe Kanawha, to the command of which Gen. Cox was assigned. ' ' ' Upon arriving at Point rieasrnt, opposite Ualiipolis, tbe General received orders to advance toward Charleston aud Gauley Bridcd. From the rugged nature of ttio Country oper ations were necessarily connncd to the immediate vicinity of the river, thus giving the enemy great advantages over an attacking force. The rebels were commanded by tbut arch traitor and long winded politician, Gen Henry A vWise. On the 17th of July a brisk engagement occurred at Scarey Creek between the J2th and a detachment of the 21st Ohio and the rebels, who had erected earthworks on the south bank of the river, covered by the creek, wbich was UDfordable at the time, tbe bridge having been destroyed by tho eoemy. . Our troops, nnder Col. Lowe, of the 12th Ohio, failed in the effort to make a crossing of the creek, and the reconnoisance established the fact that the position of the rebels was too strong to attack in front, and as it commanded the river, wagon transportation for supplies would be Deeded before the principal column could advance, at originally intended, on tho uorth bank of the river. Supplies bad hitherto bocn carried in small steamers which had ac companied the march of the troops along the stream. A week later, wagons and animals having boon received, the advance was resunH ed, and General Cox, crossing the Pocotuligo, and malting a dotonr to- tbe leit, turned the. position at Scarey (JroeK, as won as another rortibcation at I yier Mountain, on tuo norta bank of the Kanawba, seven miles below Charleston. The enemy finding themselves threatened in bank and rent, hastily retreated, after burning a steamboat load of their sup. plica Ou the following day, tho 26th, Gen, Ccx again advanced and drove Uen. Wise out of Charleston, the rebels in their ro treat, burning the fine suspension bridge over Elk river at tbat place. During the night tbe engineer company or the 11th Uhio, uuder command of Captain P. P. Lane, of Cincinnati, built a bridge, of boats, and tbe chase after Wise was resumed on tbe following morning. Wise being closely pressed, did not venture to stop at Gauley river, but burning the costly turnpike bridge at tbat point, continued hitflight to Lewisburg. Hera Geueral Gox received orders from McCIellan to stop and .fortify his position, tbe little column having advanced as far as wot considered prudeut or necessary, In order to cover the approaches to West Virginia through the mountains. The tro phies takeu by Gen. Cox in the pursuit of Wise, was one piece ol ailiilery and 111 teen hundred stands of small arms, togeatber witb a large number of prisoners, who, according to the practice tn vogue at tbat time, were paroled and sent home, 1 1 - j . Gen, McCIellan having been ordered to the command of the Army oC tbe Potomac, was succeeded by Gen. Rosecrans in tho Depart ment or west Virgiuia. - ; Floyd having joined Wise with heavy re inforcements and assumed command of the rebel forces in West Virginia, ordered a Jew advance early in August, and daring tbe whole month Gen. Cox's little army waged en un equal conflict with nearly fonr times its own nnmbers. Tbe various denies leading out from Gauley Bridge were the scenes of almost daily combats and skirmishes : but, although the rebels several timet penetrated to tbo Kanawha river below tho posts occupied by our troops, they did not succeed in getting i permanent foothold, or in stopping commnni cation with the Ohio river below. Meanwhile Gen. Rosecrans was pushing forward h s prcr nrations for uniting witb Gen, Cox by moving a considerable column fr6m Clarksburg, by way of Summerville, to the Uauley. - After various maneuvers, Floyd fortified himself at Carnifex Ferry, where Gen. Bose- crans attacked him, with an indecisive result : but Floyd retired from his position during tbe night. Immediately at wr the retreat or i loyd, Gen. Cox advanced npon Wise, who retreated to Dogwood Gap and Sewell Mounta' n. Mc-Cook's brigade being ordered to report to Gen. Cox, the latter, with the two brigades, closely followed the enemy to Sewell Mountain, where Gen. Rosecrans ordored a halt until the whole : army should concentrate, which it did at tbat point' nnder Gen. Hoso-crans in person. The weather proving very unfavorable, clear up to November, nothing was accomplished, aud the troops went into winter quarters, Gen. Rosecrans removing bis headquarters, and leaving uen. vox .in command of tbe Kanawha District, as before.. During the winter of 1861-2, Major General Fremont superseded Gen. Rosecrans, and pro jected plan- of campaign for ' the ensuing spring, m which one column, under ms immer diate command, was to advance from Beverly, and other points, io Northwest Virginia toward Lynchburg, simultaneously with an' advance of Gen. Cox's column np the Kanawha and New River Valley toward Newbern. The troops of the Kanawha District had been increased to four brigades, of which, ooe under Col Li Kb tb urn, of the 4th. Virginia Volunteers, held the lower valley, ene nnder Col. Crook, of the 3Gth Ohio, advanced toward DewlsburfT from Gauley Bridge, and two others commanded by CoL Scammoo, of the 23d, and Col. Moor, of the 28th Ohio, re spectively,-' advanced noder the immediate commend of Gen. Cox from Gauley Bridge by Fayetteville and Raleigh toward Parisburg. Tbe campaign opened early in May by a c6ncerted movement of the columns. . Colonel Crook drove the rebels from Lewisbunr and occupied that place after a battle with a rebel brigade nnder Gen. Heth, in which tbe rebels were completely routed. Tbe columns on tbe south side of JSew river, Commanded by Geo Cox in oerson. bad als made rapid progress. The rebels bad been driven from Raleigh and Princeton, burning the latter place in their retreat, and the advanced guard of Cox's force nnder Lieut. CoL Hayes, of the 23d Ohio, bad tillered Parisburg, when a new phase was put npon affairs and tbe movement brought to a stand Kill by our reverses in (he Shenandoah Valley. Banks being forced to retreat before Stonewall Jackson, Geo. Fremout was called IT from bis march npon Lynchburg to attack JaoksOn. r - ' . -! Gen. Cox received notice that the concerted movement was abandoned, and that be must use bis own discrotion in taking care of his command against tbe increased forces in that part of Virginia, which had been left free to concentrate upon bim by the change of direc- on or I' rftmdnl'S Column.

J be Democratic journals freely declare the need of a reorganization of parties, l Prt7 new set of principles j it has a bad record to get rid of, and it lacks the possession or oulce which aloha brings it Vitality, That party brought on secession aad a warwhicb has covered the land with blood. devastated) tho South, dissolved the relations Of society in it portion of the country, and heaped a load of debt and taxes on tho whole people. Having been beaten io the elections and in the war, it calls for a reorganization of parties, we grant its necessity, bnt it shows a desire rather to carry its sins and treachery iuto political power, than to do works meet for repentance." There is wisdom abd good sense in the fol- lowlhg, Which is tho conclusion of the article ' "The Republican party has the fruits of all the labors and sacrifices, and triumphs of our years or war to preserve. Jt has to establish the government of loyalty and law ia the reb el States, in place of hostility, anarchy and arbitrary roie. it has to wipe out tbe remains of slavery, and to protect tho loyal blacks against the oppression of a hostile class. It has to Sustain the public credit now strained by an immense war debt, to distribute its bur dens equally, to eonomize the public expendi tares, and to exclude all assumption of rebel war debts.

' The ShciiaiitloaU Valley. A correspondent of the N. T. Tribune writes an interesting letter about this beauti ful and rich valley, from which we copy the following as having an interest to oar readers all this time. This immense valley, hundreds of miles in length, is one of the finest agricultural and mineral regions in the world, and, with free men and free labor, no limits can be set to Its future greatness.. Its people are disposed to receive frankly northern men and northern capital. Tbe soil is unsurpassed for agricul tural purposes the whole valley being tbe best limestone land, and generally well-wooded and watered. What is now needed is some capital to stock and improve tbe farms to rebuild mills and manufactories, and to develone me immense mineral resour3eg or the vallay. The best lands may now bo purchased oa the most reasonable terms sv for less than hnrf what they would csmmand a year or two hence. ' Good farms where the fences have been destroyed may be bought for 920 per acre rarms wun excellent ouiidings and fences for $40. For example, a farm containing 400 acres good arable limestone land, and 200 acres first-rate white oak timber land floe tiro-story brick mansion house large barn stabling and other outbuildings, with a line stream of ws- ter running through the land, good springs in various parts or tbe property,aod good feaces was offered for $40 per acre. On the farm was splended crcn of wheat corn and grata. ti I. -ill!. 1 . . I 1 1 I . it, ia wiuiiii bia uiiicb ui a raiiruuu, buq aooul 120 miles from Washington or Baltimore. Many German families from Lancaster Co. Pa. found their way irto this valley many years ago, and taking with thorn their industrious and thrifty habits,' havt become' large and prosperous land owners.' The inducement now beld out in the cheapness and fertility of tbe lands, their proximity to markets and removal of that great drawback, Slavery, will donbtless attract a large immigration. , What the valley now needs is labor ' and money. The war destroyed the old banks and new ones are much needed. Capital to any amount might be invested on ample security, as there is abundance of valuable . and unincumbered land. .
