ELECTION-OCTOBER 8
The General Election will take place on
TUESDAY NEXT, and we trust our
Democratic friends will not forget to attend
the Polls on that day and vote the Indepen
derit Union ticket as it appears at the head of
our columns. It is a most excellent ticket
all the candidates upon it being gentlemen of
unexceptionable character, and devoted to the
maintenance of the Union and the Constitu
tion at all hazards. If the full Democratic
vote of the county is cast for it, the Union
ticket will be successful by a large majority.
The Tudioial ermine should be pure and unsullied.
The candidates on the Independent Union Ticket,
Meelrs. LONG and BRIXTON are gentlemen against
whom not a breath of suspicion has ever been raised.
Men of sterling integrity, they have borne them
selves honorably and without reproach in their high
office, aq are; in all respects, worthy the most un
limiteMnfidence of the people. That they will be
triumphantly sustained by an intelligent oommunity
is a foregone conclusion.
THE LEGISLATURE
MeSSTS. MYERS, WORLEY, WORTH and PETERS,
the candidates of the people for the Legislature, are
four of the best men in the county in every respect.
They fully come up to Mr. Jefferson's standard of
honesty and eapability. should they be elected,
and we have every confidence that they will be, their
constituents need not be apprehensive that they will
ever be guilty. of betraying their trust, or selling
their votes for' any consideration whatever. They
will do credit to theinielVes and the great county
which theyiepresent in the Legislature.
COUNTY TREASURER
Esaiasßillingfelt having declined the nomination
for County Treasurer on the Independent Union
TiChet, the Committee have substituted the name
of GEORGE D. SPRECRER, of this City. No better
selection could possibly have been made. Mr. S. is
well and favorably known throughout the entire
county, as a 'thorough-going, intelligent business
man, of 'unexceptionable obaracter in every respect.
His popularity is undoubted, and the fact of the
nomination having been tendered without any solici
tation part.--he never having been an ofce
eeeker~ -will him hundreds of votes. We con
fidently: calcrilate on his election.
aquo : COUNTY COMMISSIONER
This is one of the most important offices in the
County to the tax-payers, and the Union Conven
tion doubtless acted under that impression when
they Wmireir ,Piilscza, of Strasburg . , - to
fill the position. A more competent and trust-worthy
min, does net reside in the aounty, and.his triumph
ant &notion will infuse a degree'of business qualifi
cations' into.thci office which is very much needed at
the present time.
PRISON INSPECTORS, &c
Messrs: "guirenx and BEDSECEEIt, on the
Inde
pendent Union Ticket, are just the men for the place
—honeat,.capable an i deserving. So, also, the can
didates for Directors of the Poor, Messrs. YEISLET
and BABAES, and the candidate for Auditor, Mr.
himmtn. These are all capital selections, and help
to give the ticket a strength of character and qualifl
citicina d'ombined; which have rarely, if at all, been
seen in any other ticket aver presented to the people
of Lancaster county.
TO TILE POLLS!
Every one of you—Democrats and Republicans—
all the sincere friends of the Union and the perpe
tuity of our glorious institutions, don't forget to at
tend the polls on Tuesday next, and cast your votes
for the Independent Union Ticket. By so doing you
will best ehow your devotion to the Union cause, and
foiever'eansh 'the vile spirit of faction which is
deebruetivito the unity and integrity of the Nation.

ted to" diVert the attention of every man of
every party from the great work of crushing
out this rebellion. To do this, men's hearts
must not be kept at bay by party animosities.
We believe that the great majority of B-e
-publicans in Lancaster county, in their hearts,
subscribe to these sentiments, as we are sure
every Democrat does, then why, through the
machinations of a few office seeking tricksters
and partizan demagogues, should a purely
party ticket be thrust upon them ? Why
should they be asked to sink the patriot in the
partizan, for the miserable purpose of °lova.
ting a few political cormorants to places of
profit and trust? But we greatly mistake
the signa of the times and the expressions of
opinion we daily hear on every hand, if the
people, in this matter, do not set the seal of
condemnation upon the politicians. The
masses fully comprehend the penile and neces
sities of the hour, and are nobly alive to the
imperative demands of a disinterested patri
otism. Partizan leaders have failed in shciw
ing any disposition to immolate party upon
the altar of the country, and the people of
Lancaster •county will mete out to them a
just retribution through the ballot-box on
Tuesday next.
"But we forbear further comment on this
melancholy subject [the interference of Presi—
dent LiNcoLx with FREmorres Proclamation]
as we would not willingly embarrass the Gov
ernment."
We clip the above short sentence from the
Lancaster Union, in its severe criticism on
the action of the President. How very kind
and considerate 1 The Express of Wednesday
evening " pitches in " to the Postmaster and
his numerous corps of Scribblers in the follow
ing strain—omitting the last two words of the
sentence and substitning six others which
more fully convey the meaning of the Union.
Mr. GEIST says :
Very sagacious, indeed! That last senti
ment of these reign of - terror - men, who go in
for " FORCIBLY" putting down whatever is
opposed to their ideas, fairly translated means
simply this—" we forbear further comment
on this melancholy subject, as we would not
willingly embarrass "—the election of our
party ticket.
What care these men about embarrassing
the administration, while they let the cloven
foot stick out in accusing the President of
"unfortunate blunders," "taking steps back
ward" and yielding to the "ruinous" im—
portunities of the loyal citizens of Kentucky.
All that now restrains this miserable faction
from openly abusing the Administration, as
it is done Covertly in the above extract, is the
fear that such a course might " embarrass"
the success of their party ticket, the very
head of which they . know is neither like
C,Tsar's wife nor the far famed Pocahontas.
INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY
It is alleged—and we have no doubt of the
truth of the allegation—that the principal, if
not the sole, reason why Judges LONG and
Rain Ton were not re-nominated by the Re
publican County Convention, was their decis
ion against Peter Martin, and in favor of the
election of WILLIAM CARPENTER as Prothono
tary, in 1857. The Court decided that contested
election fairly and honorably, in accordance
with law and justice ; but vengeance 'was
determined on from that moment by the
defeated candidate and his backers in their
attempt to set aside the verdict of the people.
Judges LONG and BRINTON were doomed men,
because they would not violate their oaths and
stultify their consciences at the behests of the
party leaders, and one prominent lawyer was
heard to thank his God that the race of these
two pure and upright Judges would soon be at
an end. From that day to this they have been
pursued with a rancor and vindictiveness
which have known no abatement, and it now
rests with the people of Lancaster county to
shield the Judicial ermine from pollution, and
show to the world that honest Judges shall
not be sacrificed at the shrine of a party Mo
loch.
SURRENDER OF MULLIGAN
The news of the surrender of Col MULLI
GAN, with the force under his command
amounting to some 3500 men, and the capture
of Lexington, Missouri, by the rebel General
PRICE, is fully confirmed. The siege lasted
some four or five days. The killed and
wounded on our side was less than 200, and
on the rebel side, it is variously estimated at
from 300 to 1000. Our, men fought bravely,
but were overpowered by numbers—Place's
force being not less than 15,000, some accounts
placing it at a much higher figure. A large
amount of government stores were captured,
together with an immense sum of money,
mostly id gold, estimated at from a quarter of
a million to a million and a half.
This is the second serious disaster we have
met with in Missouri, and would seem to in
dicate mismanagement somewhere. The
question very naturally suggests itself, why
was the brave Col. MULLIGAN not timely rein
forced, so as to prevent the surrender ? It is
understood that, for several weeks previous,
Gen. FREMONT had an army of at least 50,000
men at St. Louis, and could have spared
enough at any time to have placed the former
out of danger. We are not of those who
would censure Gen. FREMONT for being,
indirectly, the cause of this second disaster
to our arms in Missouri; for we know it is
an easy matter to get up a feeling of distrust,
whilst all the facts, if they were known,
might elicit an entirely different judgment.—

THIC BALL ROLLING.
The Independent Union Ticket is very pop
ular throughout the county. Every where—
east, west, north and south—there appears to
be but one sentiment, and that is in favor of
" putting it through" by a triumphant ma
jority. The Columbia Spy has the following
handsome notice of the ticket:
The ticket nominated is recommended to the
support of the citizens of the county, not only
by the character of the nominees—as far as we
are acquainted with them men of unblemished
reputation—but by the manner of the nomin—
ation. It was spontaneous and in defiance of
the hackneyed, rotten old delegate system,
where the voice of the people is stifled, and
the hand of the politician omnipotent. Of
course the party men and party papers of the
county denounce the whole movement as a
Democratic scheme, and we don't pretend to
say that the united democratic support is not
great:y influenced by the desire to overthrow
the dominant party, but that does not affect
the position of the independent Republicans
who were disgusted with the proceedings of
their own strictly party convention, and de—
termined no longer to be driven by political
whippers in to the support of men in whose
nomination they were allowed to take no part.
They saw here an opportunity of breaking
down the wire pulling system which has con—
trolled our conventions, and have entered into
the independent movement determined to
carry it through. This action would not only
be justifiable but commendable at any time;
but now, when the motive is the banishment
of all party feeling, in this hour of national
trial, it becomes a sacred duty. To success—
fully combat the enemy striving to overthrow
the " best government the world ever saw,"
our people must be united, and put aside the
miserable bickerings which have so materially
contributed to bring about this very rebellion.
The Republican party of Lancaster county is
in the ascendant, and it becomes it to make
the sacrifice of party to country. Its leaders
have said that it will "not set aside partizan
feeling, and the people say that it shall. It
remains to be seen who are "masters of the
situation.". .
We have said that the nominees are unex—
ceptionable men. With one —Col. James
Myers—our neighborhood is more particularly
acquainted. We need not commend him to
the support of our voters. Col. Myers received
a handsome vote in the Republican Conven—
tion, where his name was presented by his
friends without his _ knowledge. We doubt
his acceptance on a strict 'party platform, had
be been nominated. He only consented to
have his name brought before the Union Con
vention at the solicitation of friends."' The
office is one to which he never aspired, but his
nomination was known to be acceptable to the
people, and he patriotically deferred to the
popular voice. We wish the ticket . success.

Under the influence 'of this style - of preaching

British abolitionists. In that country he
maligned the institutions and people of the
United States, and of course succeeded in ex—
citing the sympathy and opening the

comes back to this country with the fruits of
his labors, to witness the troubles which he,

WHO. IS.OOLONEL 1111:1141...IOAN
The Detroit Advertiser gilies the following
interesting sketch of the hero of Lexington
Col. James A. Mulligan was borri in the
city of Utica, New York, in the year 1829,
and is consequently. in his thirty second year.
His parents, were natives of Ireland. His
mother, after the death of his father, which
took place when he Was a child, removed to
Chicago, where she has resided with her son
for the past twenty-three years. He was edu
cated at the Catholic College of North Chicago,
under the superintendence of. the Rev. Mr.
Kinseller, now of New York City. He is a
strict member of the Catholic Church. In
1852" and 1853 and 1854 he read law in the
office of the Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, Congress—
man from the Chicago district. For a short
time be edited the Western Tablet, in Chicago.
In-1856 he was admitted nu attorney at law.
in Chicago. At this time he held the position
of 2nd Lieutenant in the , Chicago Shields
Guards, one of the companiei attached to the
Irish Brigade now in Missouri, and which has
done so well at Lexington. in the winter of
1857 Senator Fitch, of Indiana, tendered him
a clerkship in the Department of the Interior.
He accepted the position and spent the winter
at Washington. During his residence in
Washington he corresponded with the Utica
Telegraph.
Ater his return from Washington he was
elected Captain of the Shields Guards. On
the news arriving of the bombardment of Fort
Sumter, he threw his. soul into the national
cause. The Irish American companies held a
meeting of which he was Chairman. Shortly
afterwards he went to Washington with a
letter, written by the'late Senator Douglas on
his death bed, to the President, tendering a
regiment to be called the " Irish Brigade. '—
He was elected Col. and immediately went to
work with a will. Tbecouree of the "Brigade,"
up to the battle at Lexington, is well known ;
it has nobly, bravely and honorably done its
duty.
He is a rigid temperance man, although he
is jocund and whole-souled to s s fault. He is
six feet three inches in height, with a wiry,
elastic frame,—a large, lustrous, hazel eye—
an open, frank, Celtic face, stamped with
courage, pluck,.and independence, surmounted
with a bushy profusion of hair, tinctured with
gray.

Nathaniel Ramater, Req., then romandiaid testi - before
offering .a-rimaintitini . he - *hilted: t:. few remarks
explaining the Ohject of those ithovsigned the Call for this
meeting. We are all, said he, in favor of the) Union and
the Constitution, 'the imppor,t. of the Government and-the
sunpicasion'cif rebellion. We h ave met ttigethek , this after
noon, in masa meeting, to settle a-ticket, to be supported',
bythe Milton nien - of, the'county at the coming elect:MlL—.,
No ordinary nOtartion eouldhavecalled together Mich 'an
assembly as this-rtiothing but the present condition of our
nation. It is. now endangered, the Constitution is now
threatinedland the government must-be supported, ;and
treaters in, whatever - form It shows itself, effectually put
down. - Mille:tee like these, 'when the peat Inteinst'ef
Government or no Government Is. at stake, Party'vdoist
into insignificance.. .1 as a Republican, you as a Democrat,
are both ciirithirod -that we ere right; and when the war
is over,
and the rebellion
- put dewn,. we will fight our po,
Mimi battles ever 'Su p pose .
'Gen. McClellan,, on
whom our hopes are now centered Bum the loyal Statee,
and ell fears from the rebels—suppoee he, in his onward
march, should say, "Halt I—l want to 'kuowstbether this
would be called a Republican victory or.o.Democratio.vie
tory." What would you think of such patriottem? The'
gallant anel%limented - Lyini,iwlioni we have recently laid
in his grave,. and :who gave fortune as well as life to the
canes, was it When Butler, 'a good Daman:it,
was asked to accept- the, nomination °for .Governor, .he .
answered-that he was satisfied with the Republicen.Gov
erner;• Andreivs—that 'there should be no party feeling
now, • WohaveNool, ..Selgel, Rosecrans, Banks, Fremont
—Democrats and Republicans—etanding side by Ode
the great cause. • Among our officers and soldierit, who are
fighting for our institutions, we hear naught of politica— •
who go on aide by side, heart to heart, in the greet work'
of preserving the Union. If they time act, shall we stoop
to raise a mere party lane for the sake of the spoils of of
fice? Besides; • there Is no large distribution of-offices to.
make—so principle toVettle. To besure, we will never
yield our renew:al' Conrictiona of right,but what will we
want-with ticket if we let the Governinent go to.plecea?,
I say this, is a movement of no party. When the -war is
over we will - have plenty of time to fight our party tiattles.
I care not who may be settled on the ticket to-day, so that
they are good, whole-sonled Union men, who discard party;
I am'for that ticket to the last degree. A very respectable
assemblage has recently met here and nominated a party,
ticket. What a difference between this and other sections. -
Look . at: New. Xork I They have there settled a Union,
ticket, where they have an overwhelming majority of Re
publican votes: -In Ohio, too, they have nominated that
“wheel:horse" of the Democracy, David Tod, for Governor,
and a good Union-Republican for Lieutenant Governor.—
The courillee around no have also sunk party in the sup
port of the Unicevat this time, without partisan distinc
tion. 'At this time we must' lso elect Judges. I am op
posed to making this an ,office to be electioneered for. If
we have judges who are pure and honest men, I am op
posed to change. We might do better, but .we might do
woree; if we did worse, it.would be a long time before we
could have a remedy. Many neighboring districts have
renominated the present incumbents. if we have parti
sans in these offices, however, let us turn them out; If
they are fit men, let ne keep them where they are. All
our intermits may come beforethem, and why should wo
have partisans ? It has become a practice to 'trade off"
this or that officer for another, and this has at last even
extended to the Judges. We ought never to make them a
part of our partisan warfare; in other offices change and
rotation is right, but In this thee it is not—a Judge should
not be superseded except for just cause. I have nothing,
personally, to say against any man on the , •Union-Repute
lican tloket"—but the fact that on it there is not a Demo
crat speaks for itself. It is like the handle of a jog, all on
one side. They say to the Democrats—you go and fight for
us, and we will stay at home and make a ticket, and divide
the offices among ourselves. The Government is weaktned
by this spirit, end just now it needs every arm and every
voice. do long as we distract our country with partisan
feelings, we can expect no peace—not that peace whi.b is
the only peace we can have—which makes rebels lay down
their arms, and leaves the "Stars and Stripes" waving
over the land. We want the whole Union as secured by
our fathers, who drew no party distinction in the great
, Revolutionary struggle. The liberty they fought for is
now again in danger, and duty calls on us to step forward
to strike a blow for the Union and the Constitution. Why,
fellow4lepublicans and fellow-Deinocrats, what is partisan
warfare but throwing a firebrand among our own friends
In the army they do not ask of what party a man is; and
shall we stay at home and say, you: are sheep on the one
side . and you goats on the other? I repeat that If we do
this we are weakening the Government. petrifies, this war
must be paid for by both Republican and Democrat both
want the Government preserved for our mutual b enefit;
and•l,-for one,to that end, will know no min.politically
till the victory has been won. We should not see Demo
crat and - Republican sitting 'together here, unless the na- •
thin bad been in peril. The news to-day chows ris that
the war is not yet over; and, to make the matter short, we
should in honor nee all means at our command to assist In
the good work—forget party, and rise for once to the nobler
platform of patriotism and Country.. He concluded by
offering the following resolution, hoping the, committee
would be appointed, and wonld nominate a eound ticket,
and that the Union ,men of the. county here assembled
would resolve to elect it:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed, to consist of -
an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, to report
a ticket for the support of the Union men of Lancaster
county at the coming election. . . . -
The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the com
mittee composed of an equal number of Republicans and
Democrats, the citizens present handing in two names for
each district The committee then retired for consultation.
During the absence of the; Committee on Nominations,
which was over two hours, the meeting was ably and eke;
quently iddreesed by Hon. Benjamin Charnel:eye,' who'
was eethuslastically cheered and applauded. Whilst he
was speaking. the Committee on Resolutions returned, and
the Chairman, Mr. Kline, On presenting - them, said -that
all. we had was owing to the blessings of the Union, that .
the Constitution contained the best frame of government
in the world, and that in this hour of the nation's peril it
was every man's duty to support the Government, and
consent to do surrender of Constitutional right to armed
traitors.. We return our thanks, said:he, to the brave vol,
unteers who have gime to the defence of that noble Consti
tution. As they have sacrificed party feeling, and-preja
d ices, not stopping to inquire who held the Administration,
but all marching to the rescue of the Capital, so let the
people now discard party for government anti for country.-
He then reai the resolutions, as follows:
Resolved, - That under a benilicent Providence, we are
mainly indebted to the Federal Union for our, national
prosperity, social security and individual welfare; that it
is the support andshelterof our personal rights and pont;
ical institutions, .and that we hold. "Liberty and Union,
now and forever, one and inseparable." .
Resolved, That the Constitution of the. United Staters,
administered by wise rulers to loyal and patriotic people,
is the best form of government ever devised by man; that
upon the maintenance andenforcement of our Constitution
depth& the preservation of .the Union; and that the odi
ous, revolutionary and destructive doctrine of Secession is
without warrant or pretext In any part of that admirable
instrurbent. '
•
-Resolved, That we give our unqualified. support , to the
National Administration in the vigorous prosecution of
the war nowhelng waged for the stippreselon of Rebellion;
and that we will regard a peace neared by the surrender
of any constitutional right 'to armed traitors, a dreg's:ace
and dishonor, to which death itself would be preferable.
,Resolved, That the patriot soldiers of the nation, and
especially these of our own' State and' cOuntyi who have
volunteered. their_ services in the defence of the Clemens
ment, and exchanged the comforts and safety of home for
the hardships and dangers of the tented field, are entitled
to our warmest. expressions of gratitude and sympathy_
Resolved; - That as our brave soldiers have disregarded
political differences!, and rushed, without- distinction of
party, to the rescue of the Union, not pausing to enquire
whether the Administration- they serve was 'chosen by
their votes, or if.the, comrades beside them•yere of the
same partisan faith, we a-ill - follow their noble example in
the discharge of one peacefulduties, and lay aside; in , this
hour of peril, all party differences and party prejudices.
Resolved, That in the aelection - of the Judiciary, we dep.
recate the 'appileation.of partisan politics.pud the doctrine
of rotation in office.
.
. . .
It . Was MoVed•that the resolutions be &dept.:xi and a copy
of them sent to each captain of volunteers from this county
now inn the service of the United. States, which wee agreed
.
to unanimously . - • - -
The meeting was than farther addressed by Dn.John L.
Atlee, Sr., Col. James Myere,.Maj. A: D. Dttmars, J. B.
Amwake, Esq., and -Prof. Edward Brooks. Each of the

_ .
the greatest. enthusiasm. .
The Star Spangled. Banner was then sung .by ..the meet
ing, led by Prof. Brooks and Mr. Wm. H. Slangier, which
was warmly applauded, after which it wait mote l Col.

Pointed, consisting of two front each district, to conduct

cies ; and that Nathaniel Ellmaker, be chairman of
said committee. A, further amend ment wee offered by - Dr.

by Menne. Lightner, Amweg, J. H. Barnes, Carpenter and
others- , -Ccd.'Ainweg opposing the amendment, saying that
the full committee might, if desirable, appoint an Execu
tive Committee of Thirteen out of their own body. - •
Betbre action wan takeni the Committal on Nominations

This Invention consists in the arrangement and suspen

extended to their full height the upper ladder. rests upon
the top round of the next ladder beneath it, forfaing a cop

Last night Mr. Rolland, of Springfield, arrived hero,
having left there on Friday last. He, is the, man
who took General Fremont's modification of his
proolamation through to Colonel Taylor,.f the Con
federate forces. He reports that Lieutenant Williams,
of the Thirteenth Illinois regiment, is'on his way •
here with salmi loaded wagons and about. fifty
wounded men, under charge of Dr, Davis, they.
having been allowed to'leave by Colonel Taylor.
They will probably arrive to-morrow night. This -
leaves about one hundred and.eighty.of our wounded
yet in Springfield, of which number one hundred
would have been able to come to Itolla".if there had
only been sufficient transportation. Many of the .
Confederate officers are Opposed to' eillowing our '
wounded to leave.
Despatches were received Thursday lasit at
Springfield, by the Confederates, that 'Mulligan had.
surrendered' without a gun. being . fired,' and the
Confederates had taken twenty-one pieces of artillery,
six thousand stand of arms, and four , thousand, pris
oners. Also, that Booneville had been taken, 'and
Price was marching on Jefferson City. • -
General McCulloch and his force, of about four
thousand disaffected Arkansas and Texas troops, was
confidently believed to have left the State,-going

Further Particulars of the Surrender.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.
A special despatch to the Tribune, from Quincy,.
reports that Generals Siegel and Lane had attacked
the Confederate. General, Price, at Lexington. An
officer of the Government heard heavy firing whilst
passing Hamilton yesterday. He says he believes
that Price is now hemmed in as Colonel Mulligan
Some of Col; Mulligan's men have arrived at
Chicago, -ills whole command except the severely
wounded and the officers were ferried across the river
on Saturday' afternoon. Lieut.. Hollinburg is the
only officer who escaped.
, The Quincy TVA:guys that a Confederate surgeon
conceded their loss to be eleven hundred and thirty
four. Four hundred horses belonging to Colonel
Marshall's regiment, were killed by the Confederate
cannon, and some of the Federal soldiers after the
surrender killed their horses to prevent them serving
the-Confederates.
Sr. Louie, Sept. 25.
Gen. Curtis has'assumed command in the absence
of Gen. Fremont, at the seat of war. •
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., Sept. 25.
News from Lexington reports Col. Grove, of the
Home Guards, and Lieutenant Colonel White, of St.
Louis killed. A man named Eldridge, from Lexing
ton, is under arrest here as a spy. The papers found
on hinrstate that nur force at St. Louis was only
four thousand.
Ben: McCulloch is marching rapidly to form a
junction with Price, with a good supply of artillery.
Be is now very near Lexington.
Mulligan's total loss was not over 150, and that of
the Confederates not more than 300.
The Rebels driven out of Mechanicsville and
Romney—Thirtyfive Killed—Our loss Three
Killed and Ten Wounded.
Gael-1w Va., Sept. 25.
Five hundred of the Fourth Ohio, with one piece
of artillery, and the Ringgold Cavalry, 75 in num
ber, under Colonel CANTWELL, and 900 of the Eighth
Ohio, under Col. Henna, Made an advance from
Net[ Creek, on Monday, towards Romney. They
drove the enemy, 700 strong, out or 'lleleohaniosville
Gap, on the morning of the 24th, and advancing on
Romney, stormed Romney, causing the enemy, whose
force numbered 1400 infantry and cavalry, to retreat
to the mountains, with the lose of 35 killed and a
large number' wounded. Our loss was 3 killist 'and
10 wounded.
General Fremont, a day or two since; sayei
the New York Tribune, made a requisition of
$500,000, to be paid immediately for account
of purchases of ordnance and ordnance stores
in- St., DOW& General. Ripley. specially. re
ported upon this application, first,, that no
authority whatever was known in the Ord—
nanbe Bareaci for General Fremont's making
the purchases. Secondly, that the vouchers,
accompanying the application chow that ex-.
missive prices were paid for many of the.
artiolekior: instance: $22 50 each for Hall's
carbines; which only cost $l7 50 when new,
and which, moreover, have been rejected trim
the-United States service, and sold as con
demned property at public auction for $6, and
leas ;- Ehfield rifles at . s26 50 which were - re=:
oently contracted for of first quality at -$2O ;
Colt's pistols at $35, for which the contract,.
price is $25 ; Colts carbines at $6O, and Volt's
rifles at $65 each, much more than those arms
are worth. There is no evidence from Gen.
Fremont'S command that•these arms have un
dergone inspection by a-United States officety
or any inspection at all. Finally, General
Ripley. reports that unless purchases and ex—
penditures like , these of Gien., Frement's are.:
regulated and restric ed 1:13 , the War Depart
ment, the liberal appropriations of Congress
will be " whollyinsufficient to meetthe liabil
ities" that can be rolled up against the
Government.
THE 'WONDERS OF THE MICROSOOPE.—We
understand- it is through the agency of this
marvel viewing instrument that Dr. Ayer has
at length succeeded in finding EALUDAL.imism.
and determining ;hi character. Of its effects
we in this section have abundant evidence in
the Fraza AND Acme which it, alone produces
when absorbed through the lungs into the
blood. It has long been held to be a vapor
of water from decayed and decaying vegeta—
tion. Under a great magnifying power, the
Docter has found this vapor to contain distinct.
organism or living bodies, corresponding
precisely with those found in theblood of Ague'
subjects. They are 13,000 times less than
visible 'to the naked eye, but have distinct
character and form.—He thinks, they are re—
productive in decaying matter or in the blood,
and hence their long continued life or the
remote effects of them in the system. ,He
maintains that they resemble in character the
other fermentative poisons, or such as the virus
of rabies or of a dead body, ero., all of which
are.known to reproduce themselves with great
rapidity like yeast in moistened flour, so that,
the slightest quantity impregnates the whole
mass: Yeast through a powerful magnifier is
seen to be a forest of vegetation which grows,
blossoms, and goes to seed in a short time.--
Miasm is not so distinctly vegetable but _has
more the appearance of animal life, although
its motion cannot be perfectly distinguished.
What the Doctor claims to have settled is that
it is an' organic substance, and he has further
found and embodied in his " Ague Cure" what
will destroy it.—[Leader, St. Louis, Mo.
