Party Prejudice.
, It ia.diflteult to determine how far part; preju
dice maylead men astray, or how much it may
.as citiaens of * free country.
That [it dges more or less influence in the
coniidfnttion of .all the important, and many of
tbe minor. qoestions of .the day, is apparent to the
. ; ..Tho .often it is mistaken'
for.principlc, hence the difficulty in overcoming it. ;
Whena m*n clings fea party simply because his
fatjier wa* identified wkb it,_there ia little hope
' that lMt.will.ever arrive ata correct knowledge of
thejgtuwtioos at issue. He does not
ibkr that the epaptey is growing and changing ;
that pld tbings are pasaing away and new- qoes
tioosaod policies constantly nriaiog;: that what
was oecessa-vaiid,right in his father’s day may
he ja#eleas,ina4ct}u a ' te ’ or oppressive today; that
•hu party may have departed from lha principles it
held when his father was a member; and his
roottoiii, "my party goes this way and I, go with
my party.” Thus is he perfectly sealed against
conviction had prevented from acting or speaking
independently and anderstandingly.
Many menare more abject slaves to party than
African chattels are to Southern (ask-masters.—
The latter are slaves because thev eannot befree
—the former because they null not be free. The
latter me slaves in person because overpowered—
»he former are stares In. mind for want of reason..
There,may be some excuse for this servitude of
mind hr those Countrieswhere position and prop
erty depend upon an .acquiescent to tire will of
the ahtbontiS;'bat in this free country, where the
' aothorities receive, theirpower from the consent of
the people, it iff degrading, if not really criminal.
We shy criminal, because designing men may
couple on or weave into the platform of one of tbe
politick! parties, a measure designed to benefit a
few to the detriment of many, and then endeavor
to cany it through by party drill. If they suc
ceed, the injury is inflicted, and the guilt lies at
the door of those who would hot see the ganger
because it was a party question, and being such,
they mustneeds vote for it, “or split their tickets.”
Some men assert with great gusto, “ 1 never split
my ticket,”, and imagine that it evinces their
fixedness of purpose and should be a source of
pride, iOn the contraiy it betrays a lack of rea
soning,sud considerable bigotry. No party has
at all liptes placed unexceptionable candidates in
the field, or advocated unexceptionable doctrines,
and fore man to say that be never “ split bis
ticket” Ila to say tbat be looks not to good men
and true doctinea. but “goes it blind” on any man
or measure bis party pats forth. He lives under
a tyrant whose name is “Party Drill," or “Party
Prejudice."
By the way, this “ partydrilling," as it is called,
teA Very mean piece of business, and to consent to
he drilled is descending almost too low to be al- '
Towed tbe exercise of the right of suffrage. In
fact the man who votes nndcr party drill does not
exercise the right of suffrage, but becomes a mere
machine in the hands of party lenders, not exer
cising the right of a freeman and voting for whom
he chooses, bat voting for the men whom his
leaders select. To such, however, the charge of
prejudice 1 is inappropriate. They do not pretend
to think arid act for themselves in this particular.
To the leaders inferred to, the charge comes home.
They are [leaders in the party and wish to retain
their places. In order to this they must swallow
evety platform and hoiza Tor every candidate
nominated bytheir party, Any reason her func
tions, ami believe everything put forth by their
party and discredit everything from the opposite
side. Tjftn they orb styled reliable party men,
whether jd|Ut,or wrong.
tWs class ofpotitcinns, it matters little
what ntey he the acts of the party in power, if op
posite tp theirs, they never find anything to- ap
prove, bqt glways something to condemn; or if
they caqnqt condemn,they pass by in silence.—
,,UW disparaged by hints at selfish and
' poUricaT motives behind them. They are always
s usgici ous—aftp|d that tdto party may gain credit,.
and Ihfgr jqatAft prevent it if possible. On tbe
otherhand, more prejudiced in favor of the ruling
power never sce anythiag wrong, and readily as
sert to eyeiy act. They do not stop to look be
yond and ealenbrtethe consequences.
This is,all wrong, and always works injury. If
ynen would only dispassionately reason all qnes
tions andjacta. and not be governed by their party
prejudiices, the country would be much benefitted.
the loyal people of the North should
be united , f in one mighty effort to put down tbe
rebellion pnd sarethe Union, there appeal* to be
’more of this,prejodice exhibited than heretofore.
It will not do fqr one party, to charge it upon the
other. Ittasdsts in both, and, unless better counsel
prevails, will continue to exist until some .great
offlictuni. ,'mneh greater than we have yet felt,;
teaches men the felly and madness of their coarse, ’
’ tears the political film from their eyes and drives'
them together for mutual protection. The ani

other, in this time of onr adversity and righteous
chastisement as a nation, for national sins, may
beaisrcifaUyloeked upon, bat will most likely he

She manner In which General “Stonewall”
Jackson received his wounds is thus given by a
letter to bis wife, who was in Richmond at the
time;of his death:—At midnight on Saturday
night, his men being drawn up in line of battle, a
body ;of troops were seen a short distance *in ad
vance of our line.’ It being doubtful whether they
were friends or enemies, General Jackson and
staff rode forward to acertaih. Whilst he Was
engaged in reconnoitering, his men being unaware
of his movement, mistook him-, and .staff for"
enemies and fired a roily into them, instantly klling
one of his staff, and severely wounding General
Jackson and Major Crutchfield. One bnllct
passed through the General’s right hand, whilst
another struck his left arid below tbe .elbow, and,
ranging upwards, shattered fee Lone near tho
shoulder. He immediately fell to .the ground.—
His brother-in-law, who was with him, laid down
betide him to ascertain' the, character; of his
wmmds. In a moment the unknown troops in
front, who.prpved to be the enomy. advanded and
captured two other staff officers; Who were standing
over the General, without noticing him. Soon
after four of our men' plaeed'faim on a stretcher,
and were bearing him to the rear, tthen they were
all shot down; The injury to his right hand gw
seme, one of the bones having been sbot away.
Ferocious Attack bt a Horse. —Mr. Wil

met with a rather singular and probably fatal ac
cident on Thursday last. He-.was ' riding a vety
spirited stallion, owned by: himself, in the vicinity
of' Boater's mills, some three miles from Elders
ville, when thc horse became fractious and began'
rearing and plunging, and finally succeeded in
throwing Mr. C.’'off. AS he fell the vicious brute
first struck him with his fore foot, then jumped on
him* and seising hfin sfith*his teeth, tore him in a
shocking manner. Oneiofhis arsis waa,ctn*hed

Heso-qcabtehs BowmlN's Brigade, 1
A i* Mr or Potomac, May 7th, 18G3.
• Inquirer. — l send von here
with a few particulars of .onr late fight. We Bad
a sharp skirmish on Saturday afternoon, in a deep
hollow, or rather on a large plain, snrrounded by
high steep hills on two sides, and by woods on the
others. *
General Birney thought the Rebels were re-
ordered a general ‘advance. Wc
poshed through about a mile of veryAhick onder
brush and woods, and halted for a short time on
the brow of a high hill that Overlooked the plain
above mentioned. The Rebels had a good position
but we were ordered to charge them. General
iJimey> Division and ours, (Gen. Whipples,)
c down the bill, and across a croek about
a rod n*ide and five or six feet deep; and when on
-the otjrer side the General found the Rebels in too
strong force for us, and the order was given—
“ About face,” “Forward, march.” We lost but
very few wounded then. We came back then a
mile or two and found the enemy in strong force
on oxtr rear; that they had captured our pack trains
and almost completely, surrounded us. The next
morning, at six o’clock, (Sunday morning) the bat
tle commenced. Our brigade was first in the third
line of battle, and in a hollow Just behind a wood
ed bill on which our other lines were engaged with
the enemy. The rebels soon commenced a terrible
attack immediately on our front, and succeeded in
dnving our men from the wood with terrible
slaughter. The eneiny was charging down over
the hills, and onr lines were falling back in great
confusion. Col. Bowman had only the Eighty
fourth and One-hundred-and-tenth Pennsylvania
Volunteers with him at that time, and seeing the
danger of delay, or dallying, or falling back, ns
the otheb wore doing, double-quicked the Eighty
fourth and One-Hnndrcd-and-Tenth down the
hollow to a row of breast-works, where he stationed
them.
The firing immediately became terrifiic; but
our me|i could rake the enerav without exposing
themselves, and thus held thie whole Rebel left
wing until our troops could re-form in the woods
on the hill, ■ The Twelfth New Hamphsire Volun
teers, (Second Brigade), were stationed in front of
our first position, i. e. in the woods on the top of
the hill. Yon can imagine what it was to take
two small Regiments on the double quick through
a mass of flying and disorganized troops, in the
face of the enemy who were advancing, with loud
yells, and keeping up a te rible fire into our rank,*,
to a line of temporary breast-works (piles of fence
rails, hastily thrown together), and there cheek the
enemy until new lines could be formed.
General W hippie said it was the handsomest
thing he had ever seen done. They held their
position there until the troops on the right and
left of them had been driven in, and only then
would they . commence retreating. About six
hundred out of the ten handled in the light were
killed, wounded and prisoners.
Colonel Bowman was in the thickest of the
fight on his brown horse “Tiger.” “Tiger”
was shot in the neck with a partly spent hall, but
the Colonel escaped without a scratch. Of ti e.
staff, Lieutenant Jackson, Mitchcl and Nixon
were taken prisoners. Nixon was badly wounded.
Captain Peterman was wounded taken prisoner.
Lieutenant Good was killed. Lieutenants Ross,
Steineman Hays Woriing wounded. There
arc about one hundred and thirty men left of the
Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Colonel
Potter, Lieutenant-'Colonel'Marsh and Major
Savage, of the Twelfth New Hampshire, wounded.
Colonel Crowther, One-hundred and-temh Penn
sylvania Volunteers, w;is killed. General Whip
ple was badly wounded on Monday bv a Keiicl
sharp-shooter. The Twelfth New Ilampshicr
behaved splendidly. Our little brigade saved the
fate of that battle ou‘ Sunday. We expect to
march again soon.
A Gaj.la.vt Cavalry J.ikutymm. —ln the
account given elsewhere of the expedition of Gen.
Keyes to the vicinity of White House, mention is
made of the rescue of Lieut. Estis, an Aid of Gen.
Kilpatrick, who had been captured a few d ivs be
fore. A correspondent gives the following particu
lars of his capture :—Lient. Estis, with ten men,
detatched at Aylctt’s to dash accross the country
Northward, and, if possible, convey Gen. Hooker
news of the destruction of the communications,
made a bold, raid and struck the Rappahannock at
Tappannock Court House, but found tiie river
too much swollen to qruss. litre they surprised,
captured and paroled a rebel Lieutenant and fifteen
men. Being obliged to tarry here a short time,
four hundred Essex county militia assemblied.
under Gen. Muse, and approached the lower ford,
where the Union squad was Waiting. When at a
short distance Gen. M. sent a flag of truce to Estis,
with a note informing him that he, Gen. M., had
sufficient force to capture them, and advised, to
prevent the effusion of blood, that he surrender the
Union forces at Bonder's Kerry. Lieut. E. re
fused, mounted and spurred rapidly down the
river. During the flight they caught a rebel
Major, two Captains, and three privates, going to
join their regiments, and'paroled them. Gen. Muse
and.his Malitia, three hundred strong, followed
closely, and soon the bravo handful found' them
selves eaught in n ail dn see between the swollen
river and the great Dragon Swamp. They refused
again to surrender* abandoned their horses, des
troyed their arras, and took to the swamp. Here
military pursuit was.abandoned, but the planters
turned out and actually huntedthem with blood
hounds the next morning. On Wedensday last
all were captured, some wounded by the dogs. A
detachment was immediately, sent with them
towards Richmond, bat on the Mattapony thdy
were met by oar Cameron Dragoons, and the cap
tors and captured instantly changd places. Estis
wheeled about and escorted his escort to Glou
cester. .
Ax Incident op the BattleField.— A singu
lar incident, showing how little sometimes stands
between man and eternity, was brought to our
notice to-day. In th* late battle at Fredericks
burg Captain C. TJ. Myers, oftho “ Sewicklcy
Rifles,” 28tb' Regiment, was conspicions for his
daring and" bravery. While, leading bis pieu
against the enemy, however, he was struck on the
left side near the region of the heart by a minie
ball, bnt through a providential circumstance his
life was saved. Ha had* short time ,before re
ceived a pocket-book from his mother, with Cortes
dt viiite likenesses of his wife and child enclosed.
This he carried inside his vest, and the ball striking
Bits coarse was diverted and the Captain’s life
saved. The book is now in our possesion and
bears evidence of the force of the ball, which
passed right through it, perforating in its course
the likeness of both wife and child, and almost
tearing the book in two. It was a most providen
tial escape, and the Captain will not be likely to
soon forget it.
\ Tbeasokablb Oaa^razxTioss.—a correspOn
aeflt of the Chicago Journal states, as a fact be
yond question, that only a few weeks ago organi
zation existed in Central Illinois, that were

Home Trouble of tb'e Interven
tionists.
It only require* that wo shall group together a
few points in the foreign news by thd America to
•hgy that our European ,opponente.a« likely to
hare as much occupation at faome aa they can
conveniently dispose of. Thus the London Htr
aW’vPari* correspondent write* that the convic
tion is growing quite general that the avoidance of
a war with Russia rests no longer with England
ahd France, but with-Russia herself. As Russia
is not accustomed to taking the hack tract, it
would, therefore; appear that the danger of a Euro
pean war is imminent. Again, there is warlike
ncjvs from Copenhagen. All the Danish ships of
war are to be put in commission, and the army is
to be mobilized. Still further, seven French ships
of war, fully armed, including iron-clads, are at
Cherbourg, and the partisans of war assert that it
is designed to send a French fleet tri the Swedish
port of Cylscrona. Add to this that the Polish
revolution’ is swelling in its proportions, and that
the joint diplomatic notes-of France;: Engla* d and
Austria, in favor of the Poles, have caused extreme
irritation at St. Petersburg, and we‘shall then bo
better able to appriciate the change in the tone of
European press towards the United States. Quite
recently the London Journals, .for example,
breathed nothing bnt fire, fury and :war, but now
even the tnrbnlcnt Morning Post deplores the war
like (proper of the Americans against England, and
contends that there are no grounds for war between
the two countries, and does not believe in its possi
bility.
Hence, it will be seen, that by grouping j num
ber of apparently isolated events together we arc
enabled to sec that our ill-wishers across tl(cAlnntic
will probably have enough to do to manage their
own home affairs, without stretching their med
dling arms across the ocean to interfere in ours.
The “Red Flag” to he liAisKD. —The North
Carolina papers arc very hitter against speculators
and extortioners; declare that they alone aie
responsible for the recent riots; and ,say that “they
will conquer the Government and betray the
cause of the. South, if not sjieedilyqait down."—
'llie Angusta Constitutionalist says that during the
receiu disturbance there, the -irate ,and hungry
women avowed that “ the redJiag Would soon lie
raised all over the South, and then all people
would have to do would be to go and take what
they wanted.” Whereupon the Constitutionalist
finds itself in a sad state of doubt aijd painful uu
cer*imy ns to what might bo meant bv the “ red
flag."
