Douglas In the speech made by Stephen A. Douglas at Chicago, May Ist, he used these admirable and memorable worth : "Whoever is not prepared to sacrifice party organizations and platforms on the altar of his country does not deserve the support and countenance of honest people. How are we to overcome partizan at/taps.. thins in time minds of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country? We must cease discussing party issues, make no illusions to old party tests, have no crimina lion amid recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of these troubles. "When we shall have rescued the Gov ernment and country from its perils, and seen its flag floating in triumph over every inch of American soil, it will then be time enough to inquire as to who and what has brought these troubles upon us. IVhen we shall have a country in a Government for our chtitirsn to live in peace and happiness, 74 will be time for each of us to return to our party banners according to our own convictions of right and duty. Let him be marked as no taste patriot who will not abandon all such issues, in times like this " "HE who is not for his country is against her. There is no neutral position to be occupied. It is the duty of all zealously to support the Government in all its eff to bring this unhappy civil war to a speedy conclusion."—Gsx. "Do not give up tho Union.

Dix. THE TICKEIS READI The Union ticket is now ready for dis tribution, and electors of tho several Wards, Boroughs and Townships of the county, are requested to send for a supply to the office of the Pos/. FOR GETFULN ESS A few weeks ago the editor of the Ga zeae said the Republican Convention should select five or six good Democrats on the ticket, and mentioned as speci mens the names of McCook, Hamilton, MeClowry, McClintock, Mordlson, and some others. The editor then lamented the failure of the Convention to secure a Union ticket—said it was a great mis take. Now the Union ticket, containing ten Republicans and five Democrats, is denounced as a Democratic trick, and unworthy of support, although one of his selection, Thomas B. Hamilton, E3q , is on the Union ticket, for whom he said he would vote, whilst the name of Loew is on the Republican ticket and denounced by the Gazette as a nomina tion not fit to 'oe made. The present Union ticket contains no more Demo crats than suggested by the (.;(t.-,see, and for the very offices suggested by the committees from the judicial and polit ical Republican Conventions. The Union Convention went so far as to take one half from the straight Republican ticket to demonstrate that it was not intended as a partizan movement. It would be but decent to compliment the good in tentions of a Convention which placed in nomination the bulk of the straight ticket, instead of denouncing it as a contemptible lobby assemblage wi(hou brains or patriotism DEp,A,RTII,II,E EXTRAORDINA Left this city on Thursday, at twelve, midnight, on the Pittsburgh & Wheeling fast line, THOMAS F. WILSON, Esq., Secretary of the Republican County Er ecutive Committee. He goes as special embassador and paid envoy to our sol diers in Western Virginia to secure their votes for the straight ticket against the Union candidates. The Senate having rejected him as not the man to furnish "subsistence" to these very soldiers, he is therefore selected by the Republicans to . tell them how to vote, and to go for Ha rry Woods for Sheriff. .&RRY MAGRAW AT LARGE. The ;telegraph announces that Har. ry Magraw has been returned to the bac= of his family, from the vile to bacoo warehouse where he was lately confined. thatoopers in Charleston have beef► ting4o - in making water-tight kegs and barrels ) tio be used at Fork Sumter. They -pre;4l , be filled with' fresh: water, so that if ounntuaieation witlf , Charleston is out off they will not pefiih fir water until 'three thousand easitirijil to exhausted. TOO MUCH. The editorial fraternity and office .expeotant' about: tha.Gazetie seem to be working out their salvation in fear and trembling. The public might suppose from that organ that the war was but a trifle compared with the election of a partizan ticket in Allegheny county. The fearful struggle now raging around and over us, the most terrible in its effects and results any portion of the human race was ever. engaged in—demanding to maintain the honor, and dignity, and life of government, the heart and energy of an undivided people. When no man can be excused, rich or poor, old or young, his voice at least must be for hi s country and its defenders. Can there he any earthly object so important at this moment as the perilous condition of the country ? One would imagine in reading the Gazette that the election of Harry Woods to the Sheritfalty far exceeded in importance the present war. It may be true that it does, so far as that paper and a few of its followers are concerned, but it. is not so considered by the bulk of the people. Mr. Woods has many personal friends who will vote for him on that account, which is all right and proper. Nobody doubts his fidelity to his country, whilst he has proven his de votion to his party; he isnot, therefore, to be opposed on these points. But his special mouthpiece doubts the loyalty and insults the independence of every man who has declared for uniting the people in local affair=, as we should be in national. That paper teems with abuse of those whose wealth and energies h Ire keptpace with their patriotism, and who cannot be doubted, who have given evidence of the faith that is in them. How dare these croakers impugn the motives of men who have been spending their means to maintain our soldiers in the field, whilst they demand of the peo ple vctes for those who have for a life time been pocketing the people's money, and have not up to this hour spent one dollar for the equipment or sustenance of our own citizens, engaged, perhaps at this moment, in deadly conflict on the battle field. So far as the (;a:cite is concerned, we repe'd , the war is scarcely alluded to; it occu pi( s a secondary place in the hearts of its pro prietors. They will, per haps, refer to it after the election of a Sueritf. ' In times gone by; when peace and prosperity smiled upon our happy land, (hod grant they may soon return,) we could afford to differ upon political theories, a high tariff or a low tariff, a national bank or sub-treasury,were suffi cient to bring contending armies of voters to the ballot-box, and there leave their written opinion, and Imy for the time their animosities• Put when the very existence of the constitution itself is threat(tned, all questions relating to or pioceeding from the working ofgovern ment sink iuto insignificance. We cannot afford to hesitate, much less divide, if we expect a political existence at all. lie is the patriot who forgets past party struggles and renders to his fellow men his might,to crush rebellion and sustain his government. He is indeed the trai tor who foments difficulties and provokes strife—who encourages dissensions by suspecting without cause the loyalty of whole classes of citizens, refusing to re cognize them as equals in this great struggle,but as serfs to those in place, as hewers of wood and drawers of water to those in power. Re-awaking the old bitterness of party, inflaming the minds of men at a moment when appeals arc readily caught, when the public mind is quivering under excitement, these dan gerous demagogues plant their poison, and tell them to strike, not . their ene mies in the field, but their brethren at home. AaT' FRIEND SHEEHAN of the Chicago Post is a little troubled about our Union ticket,he says the object of the Union ticket movement in Pennsylvania is simply to give real patriots in all parties a chance to come under one standard, and thus afford the government the most efficient support. Wo speak now only with reference to the case in Pennsylvania. The Union tickets have been made up with great fairness,— Democrats and Republicans are satisfied. If the Union tickets shall be elected (and nobody doubts they will be,) the fact,which has been disputed in this country and abroad, that a majority of all citizens of the loyal states are willing to battle for the Union and Constitution, on the sole issue of sustaining and perpetuating both. There is no fault-finding before the election, and there will be disappointment afterwards.— But the right cause will have triumphed unmistakably It may not be amiss, as it is certainly truth, to say that the gamblers in Pennsyl vania, as they are, or will be everywhere, consist about equally of men of ultra views in both the old parties. We do not know much about the Republican ultraists; but we have had considerable acquaidtance with sticklers for organization in the Dem. ocratic party, They are the men who, by their infamous personal and public charac ters brought the Democratic party to its present condition,—and did their full share to bring on the country these calamities. WHATEVER MAY be the result of the election on Tuesday next, one fact will un. questionably be established, viz: That the grand example set by the Republican party of Massachusetts, Uhio, and New York' he three strongest Republican States in the Union, will be followed until the war has closed in the vindication of the Federal Constitution. These great, States, through their Republican leaders, extend the open, warm hand of fraternity and welcome to all loyal Democrats, and have made their promises good by noble performances.— The small politicians, on either tide, who insist upon party tickets, will hencefor. ward be compelled to stand back, or to join the consolidated combination of those Who have resolved to forget everything looking to selfish interest, partisan Bacon- deny, or contracted creeds, and to remem ber only that they have a country to de fend spiv. a merciless adversary. THE WHOLE TRUTH. Perhaps the editor of the Gazette had beittocAurP,Areksloy,:out , of the Republi can party, or denounce his course as a dirty Democratic trick. Hear what the editor of the New York Tribune says: A Short Story. Our Reputhean butte Committee invited a co operation of ettlz=n4 of all lartie ,, who were in favor of sti..thin rig the Government in a vigorous prose. cul lOLI of the War for the Union. The Democratic State COM n litwe yr pelted the overture with insult, but the Item rerat e masree did not. On the con trary, a 'ergo proportion of them promptly and heartily reFponded to it to did the remnant of the hall Ertrett patty, with a nicely a known excep tion. And a Union State Ticket has bean formed witch it In the ionic a very good one and to matte up of candidates selected from ell the old partiaa. That ticket we mean to support, and with it the real tickets formed on the same basis. We may bolt particular candidates on those tickets on grouLldd of r eraonal unfitness or ill-desert, Gut we shall sustain erery candula , e on the Union War tickets whom we know er believe to be hour, t and cr,rnpetent.

The temptation to retire undercover is too strong to be resisted. Hence prudent people do nut believe that Gen. McClellan will risk a fight, but will wait until the naval expedition strikes terror into the southern am y. Our lines are now precisely where they were prior to McDowell's campaign, only we have four times the men then over the river, and also hold the Chain Bridge re. gion. The rebels are eithor trying to draw us on their battle grc , ur.d for a lust desperate fight, ur ail.° ambuscades whieb it is sus pected Lieauregard has bcen preparing be tween Fall's Church and Fairfax for anoth er Manassas, or are falling back on Manas sas for winter quarters, or aro concentrating for an attack elsewhere. You pay your money and may take your choice. What the Enemy Means The enemy undoubtedly intends to offer battle at :Manassas, or at some point this side of it. It may be that Gen. McClellan may accommodate them, but good military authorities believe and hope that he will not fight unless at very great advantage, or from behind his intrenchments at Arling. ton. The fact that he follows the enemy up does not of necessity indicate that he wishes to fight. It is simply a matter of precaution, to assure himself that the rebels arc not merely feinting, and keeping his vast army at - Washington, while they are sending the bulk of their troops to Western Virginia or Kentucky. Should ho find their force greatly weakened he will attack them at once and follow them up to Rich., mond if possiVe, but he will not risk a battle with anything like even numbers Do not be surprised therefore, if you hear of Gen. McClellan marching his army to Fairfax and back without a battle. THE Massachusetts Republicans met in State Convention on Tuesday last and nominated a full ticket for state officers, giving to the Bell• Everett voters the candi date for Lieutenant Governor, and to the Democrats the candidate for Attorney General—displacing a.Rspublican in order to show their magnanimity. The other nominees were all R4rublicans. What a rebuke to the Boston 13reckii:ricige men, who insisted upon putting up a Democrat. is State ticket, i d what a lesson to those Republicans whq present straight party tickets in this thls hour of our country's utmost peril! A PONTOON bridge has been construct. ed by the United States troops across the river at Paducah, Kentucky. The Destruetiou of the Privateer Pen— METE Ettract from a letter from an GlEgiz!!?l, Fort Pfekaiii,'g•;lit: 20;1861:: On Friday night, four boats from the Colorado, with two boat howitzers, made an excursion to the navy-yard, under the command of Lieut. Russell, second officer of the ship, to follow up the former recons noissance made by Capt. Bally. and to de. stroy a privateer schooner lying at the wharf. When the boats reached tiro schooner, in Spite of every precaution, the alarm had been given, and they had to board her in face of a galling lire from the entire guard. Three of our men were killed ar.d seven wounded, including Lieut. Russell, Capt. Reynolds of the marines, and Midshipman fligginrson. The wounds of the officers were all fortunately slight.. Iligginfron lost the end of his thumb from a musket shot. Mr. White, engineer, shot a man in the foretop with a pistol. The gunner spiked a ten-inch columbiad mounted on the wharf, and the only large gun mounted in the yard. After firing tne vessel they drew cif with perfent cools ness, and tired five times with their boat howitzers, loaded with grape and canister, into the crowd of "seceshers" on the beach, and roust have saved a great deal of hemp to the U. S. A. or their successors. Our boats brought off all their killed and wounded, and the former were buried nil Tuesday night in the glacls of the fort. The schooner being cut adrift and thor. oughly tired up, floated out into the stream and down opposite Fort Barrancas, where it sunk with all its hopes of Yankee prize money and plunder so dear to the “secehti ers," once so plentiful here and now so scarce that Floyd, their !•,.rtiul could scarcely pick up a decent i tying.— The entire affair was well planned and ex ht:,l3dod with some loss, the to ral ell•-ets counterbelanro The iiv s of :tithe of the wounded are de t.p , llred of, but up to yesterday alterueon wore alive.

More Tampering with Railroad Bridge A gentleman of Zanesville, who was on the first train which passed over it Monday morning, rep%)rts to the 'Lanes• ville Courier that a railroad bridge, seven miles west of Xenia and in the direction of I )ayton, was damaged so as to make it unsafe for trains to pass over it. It was found on examination that braces and other timbers had been re, moved, and if a train bad ventured on the bridge it would have given way. The bridge was repaired in short or der. it had been arranged to send a large body of troops over it that night, but from some cause or other they were sent by a different route, and therefore no harm was done. A Goon IDEA.—CoI. Payne, of the 4th Wisconsin Regiment, announces that the colors of the regiment will be placed, at the close of the war, in the two houses of the Legislature, at Mad ison, on which will be inscribed, after every battle, the names of the five men, of every class and rank, who will most distinguish themselves in battle. Such a distinction is likely to inspire the men with emulation, and to arouse all the heroic pride of the soldier. It was by frequent notice of the brave men that Napole3n obtained that won derful mastery over the feeling^s7and de votion of his troops. WHERE THEY GOTTnarx GUNS.— It appears by a Charleston paper that the forts around Charleston were strip ped of their guns to fortify Virginia, but since the Hatteras affair they have been taking them back again rapidly for the defence of their own harbor. It is likely that this is the case with all the Southern fortifications, and may account for the ability of the rebels to raise such numerous intrenchments all l along the Potomac JAS. B. CLAY.—We learn from the Lexington Observer and Reporter, that James B. Clay previous to his art rest in Madison county, bad left Lex ington to avert such a contingency. He was on his way to Cumberland Gap. Several others were arrested at the same time, and they are also at Camp Dick Robinson. Gen. Thomas, as star ted, has already sent:Mr. Clay to Louis ville to be dealt with by the United States authorities as to them may seem I beat. Will There be a Battle on the Potomac! General McClellan will not fight out-• tide'his - limes, , trniewtlieirgbVriiniV of four things. First commit some se., rious military blunder, which he of course would be bound to take advan tage of. Second, weaken tieir forces to send reinforcements to Kentucky or Western Virginia. Third, attempt to close up the navigation of the lower Potomac. Fourth, cross the Potomac above Harper's Ferry. Should this last be done, which is tho most likely of any, General Banks would immedi, ately offer battle on the upper bank of the river, while General McClellan would attack the rebels at Manassas, on the flank. But this movement is so full of peril to the rebels that it is al. most certain they will not try it. They will do what they can to makeour ger e:al light outside his lines, but this he will not du. The rebels aro very well where they are until our naval expedi, Lion sails. Regiments Unaccepted. Complaints have been made in Wash ington that the Eighth Connecticut Regiment, which is fully armed and equipped in the most perfect manner, and which has been in camp nearly a month, still remains unmustered into the service. Governor Buckingham, it is stated, is unable to account fur the inaction of the government in not im mediately accepting it. There are also two regimults not quite lull belonging to that State which are unaccepted. Skeleton regiments from other quarters have been forwarded to Washington. • Relics from Munson's 11111. The army correspondents of the va rious journals have received quite a number of interesting relics left by the rebel.; at Munson's Hill, including let , ters,uniforrns,&c. Some of the letters are decidedly rich. One from a young la dy in Georgia hopes that her lover will get (quoted verbatim)"linken's skelp," for then she hopes he will be permit. ted to return home. All of the letters complain of the very hard times whioh the country people are experien- TLe Deleuces of Cluclnuatt The Cincinnati Gazette says : The work cf throwing up iotrenchments on the hills surrounding the city is pro gressing as rapidly as possible. About three hundred laborers are now engaged on the proposed fortifications. The bi 4 guns on the Barracks lot—twelve - .2 ',hinders and eight 24's—have not yet been removed, but an order for diem was yesterday received by Col. Jones, and it is expected the work of transferring them to the hills will be commenced this morning.

THE colector of the port of New Or leans announces officially in the papers that vessels from foreign countries will be allowed to enter any harbor on our coast and discharge their cargoes, with out regard to the same being an estab lished port of entry.

He was then.fired upon by the soldier who was guarding him, who fortunately missed him. He then struck at the soldier, cutting off three of his fingers. Mr. Emaok rushed by the rest of the guard, and continu ing his flight, succeeded, after a toile some journey, in reaching the Potomac and crossing into Virginia, and is now at Ashland, near Richmond. ARREST OF A FEMALE A lady, who gave her name as Mrs. Mary Ann Keith, of Memphis, Tenn., was arrested in Lynchburg on Wednes- . day. When arrested she was rigged out in a full suit of soldiers' clothes, and had registered her name at the Piedmont House as "Lt. Buford " She said she had been married twice—her first husband having been a member of Sherman's famous battery; her second was in the southern army; but she stated that she separated from him, for some reason she did not make known. She declared she was all right on the south ern question, and scouted the idea of being a spy. She said her reason for dressing in soldier clothes was that she had determined to fight the battles of her country, and thought such a dis' guise more likely to epable her to ac c3mplish her object. She was sent to Richmond for a further hearing, TREDECIAR IRON WORKS These works, at Richmond, have now 1,000 men employed. At present tea utmost activity is being displayed, and from six to eight small and about six large guns, are being turned out weekly. Quite a number of percussion shells are ready packed for transhipment to Charleston, and about 200 shells are daily sent to the laboratory to be filled.
