THE GREAT REACTION !
As the returns come in from the several
State elections held on Tuesday, the results
are Been to be more and more unfavorable to
the Abolitionists. Ohio, which gave Mr.
Lincoln nearly 45,000 majority in 1860, has
elected a Democratic State ticket by about
10.000—making a change in that State of
55 000. Indiana, which Mr. Lincoln carried
by some 24,000, has also elected a State Dem
ocratic tiobet by over 3,ooo—making a gain
0f27,000. And good old Pennsylvania, which
was carried for Lincoln by some 90 000, has,
we think, elected the State Democratic ticket
by a small majority—showing a gain of 90,000
in two years 1
The total gain in these three great States is
not less than 172 000 votes ; and if to this we
add the election of 14 Democratic Congress
men in Ohio, 7 or 8 in Indiana, and 12 or 13
in Pennsylvania, and a change in the Legie
latures sufficient to elect a Democratic U. S.
Senator from each State, to say nothing of the
moral effect these will have, the mag
nitude and importance of the great popular
uprising in these three great Central Com
monwealths will be duly appreciated.
In two weeks more New York, New Jersey
and Illinois will also speak in' thunder tones,
and then the doom of Abolitionism will be
forever sealed. Let the powers that be at
Washington take heed. The hand writing is
already on the wall, and woe betide the
traitors and disunionists both North and
South.' The great Democratic people have
recorded their verdict, and it will Dot do for
even the Administration at Washington to
turn a deaf ear to its teachings.
LANCASTER CITY.
The returns published in another oolumn
show that the old City Temains true as stoel
to its political integrity—notwithstanding the
abominable falsehoods and atrocious libels
promulgated for months against the Demo
cratic party by the Express, Inquirer , Exam *
tner , Union and Volksfreund, aided by the
money of the Abolition leaders so freely dis
pensed for the purpose of [corrupting the
A noble majority of 343 for Gen. Steinman
is the answer to these villainous sheets, and
should cause the vile crew who spit their venom
throagh their columns and from the stump, to
hang their heads in shame, (if Bhame were
not a stranger to them,) for their infamous
conduct towards a large majority of their
fellow-citizens.
For months have the sterling Democracy of
Lancaster been stigmatized as “ secession
sympathisers" and “ traitors,” and mob law
nd violenoe have been invoked against them
by the cowardly miscreants whose patriot
ism [?] (about whioh they boast so largely)
oonsists in etaying at home to slander and ■
villify their neighbors who are ten-fold better
Union men than themselves! The Democrats
have borne all this patiently, but patience
oeases any longer to he a virtue. And if the
cowardly sooundrels, who have been carrying
on this game for the last eighteen months,
know what is good for themselveß, they will
at once cease their malignant vituperations,
or be prepared to take the consequences. We
counsel no breaoh of the peace, but, knowing
as we do the feeling that has been aroused in
the breasts of Democrats by this wanton,
long continued and unprovoked abuse, we
warn the Abolitionists to keep a bridle on
their tongues for the future in the old Demo
cratic City of Lancaster.
TBB NEXT LEGISJUATUBE,
The next House of Representatives will
probably stand 54 Democrats to 46 Abolition
ists, and the Senate 14 Democrats to 19 Abo
litionists. This will give a Democratic ma
jority of 3 on joint ballot, and ensure the
election of a State Treasurer, and a Democra
tic U. S. Senator in plaoe of David Wilhot.
This, itself, will be a great triumph, and will
be bailed with delight by every true Union
man and well-wisher of his country. With a
good conservative such as Mr. Cowan and a
sound Demoorat at his side in the Senate,
Pennsylvania oan again lift up her head in
the.higher branoh of the National Legislature.
GENERAL GEORGE A. M'CALL.
This veteran soldier, the gallant comman
der of the. Pennsylvania Reserves in the'
battles before Richmond, waß the Democratio
candidate for Congress in the Chester and
Delaware district, and defeated by a majority
of some four thousand voteß! Comment is
unnecessary. ; His defeat only goes to show
the hollow-hearted professions of the Aboli
tionists. What care they for the noble men
whp- gallantly risk, their lives on the battle
field in defence of the Union? They are
worse than nothing in their estimation, unless
•they .will so far disgrace their manhood as to
bow the knee to the dark spirit of Abolitionism
'—unless they will fall down and worship the
negro idol that has been set up by Thaddeus
Stevens, John Hiokman, David Wilmot and
the other high priests of this one idea party.
IS. ,Mr.. Nelsph, of Tennessee, elected a
Union member of the present Congress along
with Mr. Maynard, but who was arrested on
the borders, taken to Riobmond, and then
sent back, is out in a letter against the Presi
denfeProolamation. He wasone of the strong
«t and ablest members of tho. Border States,
and his bout with Pryor and other Hotspurs
. of the South will be; long remembered. The
Prodamatipne bave alienated and dishearten
ed thoqsands of suoh men in the Border
States.
—with the other both of these Constitutional
prerogatives have been rudely assailed. With
the one we had the inestimable privilege of
the writ of habeas oorpus—with the other
this great right, inherited from oar British
ancestors, is denied ns, and military power
usnrpa the place of civil law and Constitu
tional liberty. With the one we bad Union
and brotherly feeling—with the other Dis-
union and fraternal discord and strife.
The Abolition party of Lancaster county,
to the extent of its ability for mischief, has
declared in favor of all the above-mentioned
odious measures, and avowed its determina
tion, in the re-election of Thaddeus Stevens,
that this terrible war mast go on—that negro -
ism mast be triumphant at any and every
hazard to the Union. But, again we return
thanks to a superior Power that the Democ
racy. throughout the State have given the
monster of Abolitionism a death-wound, and
we may now hope that President Lincoln
will re-coDsider his course, take oounsel from
the warning the people of the three great
States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
have given him through the ballot-box, and
retrace bis steps as quickly as possible until
he finds bis feet agaio planted firmly bn the
platform of the Constitution,
WHO ARE THE TRAITORS NOW?
“ Every man who votes the Democratic
ticket is a traitor.” Tbiß was a general re
mark by the Abolitionists before the election,
and nothing was too insulting to apply to
Democrats. Fortunately for the people, and
the Union, Abolition sentiments are not the
law of the land, and the two hundred thou
sand Democratic freemen ✓who cast their
ballots for Messrs. Slenker and Barr, and
thereby recorded their condemnation of Abo
lition treason and treachery, are not guilty of
the crimes imputed to them. Dare the editors
of the Abolition sheets in this city say now ,
as they did a week ago, that all who voted tbe
Democratic ticket are traitors? We should
like’ them to try it on in this city, or even in
this Abolition county.
The truth of the matter is that tboboot is on
the other leg at.present, says the Constitutional
Union, and the term traitor is applied where
it properly belongs—to the faction who set
the Constitution aDd laws at defiance, and
under the sham plea of a love for the Union
have dragged this great oountry from itß lofty
estate to the very brink of destruction. Our
hope is, that President Lincoln will take
warning from this popular decision, throw off
the trammels of the traitorous Abolition
faotion which haß thus far surrounded him
and which has had so large a share in bringing
about the disasters of the country, and resolve
for the future to depend for support upon the
conservative masses of his fellow oitizens, who
are devoted to the Union and the Constitution
bequeathed to us as a priceless legacy by our
fathers.
THE REBEL RAID.
The Rebel raid into Pennsylvania, on
Friday week, caused an intense excitement,
throughout the country. The invaders having
left the State, the people have quieted down,
but much mortified that the daring rebels
were allowed to escape. The movement across
Maryland into Virginia, from whence they
oame, iB certainly the most extraordinary and
daring raid accomplished by them during the
war. It appears that after reaching Cham
bersbnrg on Friday night, the rebels destroyed
muoh of the property of the Cumberland
Valley railroad, and seized a large quantity
of olothing and other stores belonging to the
government. From Chambersburg they
moved to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and from
thence to Emmeteburg, Woodsboro’, Liber
ty, New Market and Urbanna, in Maryland,
and then to the Potomac, which they crossed
near the mouth of the Monocacy, having made
a march of ninety miles within twenty-four
hours. General PleasantOD, with a large
cavalry force, pursued them during the latter
part of their march, but did not come up until
they had crossed the river. An artillery en
gagement took place at the river, the result of
which is not' known. At Hyattßtown, in
Montgomery oouuty, seven of the Confederates
were captured, being cut off from the main
body of their force. The nearest approach of
the Confederates to Frederick was at Woods
boro’, whioh is only eight miles distant north,
and liberty about twelve miles east. Monrovia
Btation, where the railroad was crossed, is ten
miles east of Frederick and fifty miles from
Baltimore.
INDIANA.
The Hoosier State has done well. There is
little doubt of the election of the State ticket
by a handsome majority ; there is a gratifying
gain of Democratic Congressmen, and the
House of Representatives will also be Demo-,
cratio. Very good. State ticket, Congress
men, Legislature, all Demooratio.
OHIO A LI. RIGHT.
The Democratio State ticket is certainly
eleoted in Ohio by from 8,000 to 10,000 ma
jority. The Democrats claim to have elected
thirteen, probably, fourteen of the twenty-one
Congressmen, and a large majority of the
Legislature. S. S. Cox, the able representative
from the 12th district in the present Congress,
has .been elected from the 7th district; into
which he was thrown by the infamous Aboli
tion (Jerrymandering of'the last Legislature,
overcbming. it is alleged, a majority of nearly
3,000, by whioh they intended to overwhelm
him. All bbiior to the. Democracy of'• the
Buokeye State,
moral of tbe victory is with them, They are
the viotqrsin an.unprejudiced, honest public
opinion, for they championed the right, the
Union, the Constitution and the laws; God
bless tbe stern, unyielding Democracy of
Lancaster county for their steadfastness, con
stancy and devotion to principle.
AS ABOLITIONIST JUBILANT!
Oo Tuesday night, after the Abolition suc
cess in the City of Philadelphia, Col. Forney
was serenaded by tbe crowd. After thanking
them for the honor [?] conferred upon him by
their visit, he told them that this triumph
meant a forfeiture of all slave property in the
Southern States , and ended his jubilant speeoh
by requesting the Band to “ play our grand
National,hymn, ‘ John Brown, whose soul is
inarching on/” [We quote from his own
paper of Wednesday.] Tbe Band complied
with the reqaest, and the Press further says:
“ The prooession, upon leaving, marched
slowly down Fourth to Walnut, and down
Walnut, the Band playing,-in accordance
with the request of Col. Forney, the hymn
commencing * John Brown’s body lies moul
dering in the grave/ The crowd at the end
of each verse'would join in the chorus, and
the sound of the musie discoursed by the
Band, together with that of the many voices,
was grand.”
From the above it appears that our “ grand
National hymn” is not hereafter to be the
“ Star-Spangled Banner,” or “ Hail Colum
bia,” but the ultra Abolition strain of “ John
Brown’s body lies mouldering in the grave.”.
Forney, tbe great Abolition leader, says so,
and his word iB law. , The-patriotic songs
which celebrate the victories and glories of
tbe country are to be laid aside as worthless,
to make room for an ultra Abolition strain
which deifies an old horse-thief of Kansas,
who justly died upon the gallows in Virginia,
for an infraction of the laws of that State 1—
Is this grateful to the ears of tbe men who
fought in the war of 1812, or followed the
“ Star-Spangled Banner ” from Vera Cruz to
the City of Mexico, or from Palo Alto to Bu
ena Vista in 1847 ? We think not. It cannot
be that all love of country has been pressed
out of tbe people by the blaek hand of Aboli
tion tyranny.
PROGRESS—HANGING.
The abolition Jaoobins aro progressing
rapidly on the road to anarchy and blood.
Gov. Blair, of Michigan, advises the sending
to France for a gnillotine to cut off the heads
of those who oppose the diabolical schemes of
the abolition demagogues; and Gen. Cassius
M. Clay, late Minister to Russia, and now a
fancy Major General, receiving pay but doing
no service, has condescended to name victims
to be immolated. This blatant demagogue,
whose greatest military exploit was the sur
rendering of fats command to a band of rag
ged, cowardly, half-armed Mexioans, in a po I
litical speech at Brooklyn, said he blamed
the President Jor not hanging. Gov. Seymour
and others 1 The abolition papers talk in the
same strain. And what has Gov. Seymour
done to merit hanging? At the request of
Gov. Morgan be took the position of Chairman
of the Enlistment Committee of bis county,
and has made speeches and contributed large
sums of money, and labored bard to promote
the objects of the Committee. But while so
doing he refuses to yield his political priori
pies, and has the temerity to maintain bis in
tegrity and to stand firmly by the Constitution,
In other words, he refuses to bow the knee to
the abolition god and to join in the treasonable
schemes for the destruction of the Union and
the ruin of the country. For this they cry
“hang him! hang him 1” But these
cowardly demagogues must beware. There is
a point, nearly -reached already, beyond which
it is no« safe for them to go. Let them take
heed.
COL.. 'WILLLAJH HOPKINS.
We are rejoiced to know that this veteran
Democrat and honest man has been returned
to, the Legislature by a largely inereased
majority. The people of Washington connty
have done themselves honor in thus honoring
their distinguished fellow-oitizen. : No better
or purer legislator can be foundin the broad
limits of the Commonwealth. At' the com
mencement of the last session he, was the
unanimous nominee of the Democratic oaucus
for Speaker of the House, but failed a few
votes of an eleotion. We take it for granted
that at the ensuing session, when the Demo
cracy will have a clear majority, the post of
honor will be assigned him without a dis
senting voice. No man in the State is more
deserving, and we are Bure no one would fill
the Speaker’s Chair with more ability and
impartiality.
HON, C. 1,. VALLaNDIGn&H.
This intrepid Democrat and fearlesß defender
of the Constitution was defeated in the Third
District of Ohio, owing to the gerrymander
made by the late Abolition Legislature of that
State. -jHis suooessful competitor in General
Schknck, whose military aervioes to the

•oarcely a doubt, give him the seat in the O.
8. Senate which- will be. vacated by that
notorious Ben Wane, on the
fourth of March next
It is cartons to notice that the Union gene
rals who have been under a cloud of popular
displeasure.for the past'summer months arei
one by one redeeming their reputations. Gen.
McClellan, who had been charged with timid
ity, want of capacity and skill, took tbe eastern
army, disheartened and demoralized by defeat,
and in a series of brilliant movements oat
manoeavered and beat a victorious enemy.—
His reputation will hereafter, be sacred to his
countrymen.
So, too, with Gens. Grant and Rosecrans.
The former is the hero of one, of the greatest,
as indeed it was the first, victory of the War,
bat his carelessness at Shiloh got him into dis
repute which his recent masterly combinations
at I u-k a and Gorinth ought to Temove. - The
wily rebel Price fell into a trap of Grant’s set
ting which has lost him bis army and the con
federate campaign in the Southwest. GeD.
Rosecrans also was practically set aside after
his Western Virginia campaign, as being too
slow, although he was never defeated and bad
driven the rebels out of all the country be
tween the Ohio and the Blue Ridge. His re
cent victories at Corinth aud I-u-k-a show him
to be a brave and skilful field officer.
Last of all comes Gen. Buell, whose reputed
slowness and want of enterprise bad passed
into a proverb. He won Shiloh on the second
day, but, to say the least, since then be has
been unfortunate. It maybe that tbe immense
territory be was required to guard oalled for
more troops than he could spare, and that he
really was not to blame for being unable to
accomplish impossibilities. His recent move
ments show skill, dash and celerity. Should
he whip Bragg"handsomely, and redeem Ken
tucky aDd Tennessee, he will ever after stand
well with his country.
These examples should teach our people
caution in criticising the operations of gen
erals in the field. Success is, of course, desi
rable in all cases, but the greatest generals
have lost as wbll as gained battles and cam
paigns. “All is well that ends well.”—.N. Y.

We are glad to learn of the unanimous
nomination by the Democrats of the 9 th Dis
trict of New York (comprising part of New
York City) for Congress of Anson Herrick,
E-q , editor of that live newspaper, the
New York Atlas. Mr. H., through the un
fortunate division of the party in that district
four years ago, ; was defeated, but now that
the party is united we expeot to hear of his
triumphant eleotion. Mr. H. will be a valu
able acquisition to the Congressional delega
tion'from the Empire State, fie is a bold,
fearless, out-spoken advocate for the oause of
truth, right and justice. : Let the Democracy
of the 9th Distriot be but true to themselves,
and they will have the right kind of-a repre
sentative in the National legislature—just
such an one as we know the “ Deacon " to be.
JJ@* We have heretofore (says a cotempora
ry) pointed out the unoonstitutionality of the
emancipation proclamation of the President,
and upon the ground, among other reasons,
that if emancipation could ever be treated as
a “ war measure ” at all, it could only be when
declared by a commanding general within the
zone of his actual opaertions. We find this is
the view of Don. Joel Parker, of Cambridge,
Mass., whose eminence as a jurist has long
been established, and whose opinion; inas
much as he is a Republican, may probably
be regarded with more favor by the members
of that party than the expression of our own.
Chief Justioe Parker says r
“ The military commander has no authority
to emancipate the slaves, except as a part of
his military operations, smithes ecannot extend
beyond the actual power of the force under his
command. His mere proclamation of emanci
pation, as a means ot suppressing the insurreo
tion, is entirely nugatory. So far as his milita
ry area extends, so far martial law prevails,
and martial supersedes, for the time being the
municipal law, in those particulars.in which
there is a conflict between them.”
THE RESULT.
The Harrisburg Po/rfof of yesterday olaims
14 Democrats to 19 Abolitionists'- in the
Senate, and 54 Democrats to 45 Abolitionists
in the House. ~ This will give the Democrats
a majority of 3 on joint ballot.
The Bame paper planus the eleotion of 13
Democratic Congressmen, 9;Abolitionists, and
2 Independents. It also speaks of the result
on the State ticket as involved in doubt.

Col. John H. Duchha*, of the 7dth (Lancaster County)
Begiment. P. hpmeon Bnnday week..having
resigned blseommisslon on account of lit health. Tbe
Colonel has been in the service one year, and has shared
with tb?7dtb alt the dangers, exposures and fatigues of
an barrasaing dunpalgtL His age and the condition of hfs
health would not permit his remaining any longer, and
very .reluctantly he.returned home. As an officer Col D.
ranked smdng the best in the service, his-Joog experience
in military affairs being tnn<h to bis advantage. He is
a strict disciplinarian, bat kind-hearted and generous 1o a
fault. His men loved him, and we know tbe fact tbatCoL
Haubrioht and hia brother officers parted with him with
extreme jregret-
' Sines Col. D.’s retarn some cowardly fellow has started
the report that be returned home because he was a coward
and therefore afraid that be w< u'd bare to tike part In the
late battle at Perryviile. Th* facts In the case are, that
the brave old Colooel remained with the Regiment In
Tennessee and Kentucky f>r months awaiting* battle, bat
none ever took place; -that be consulted with Col. Ham
bbioht before leaving Louisville, stating that if there was
any prospect of the Regiment soon being engaged In a bat
tle be wouldtemain. , Col. H. stated in reply that ho did
not think there waa any prospect, as -the enemy were on
the retreat; and there was nq algo of a battle at Perryviile
or any other place In Kentucky at the time, nor were onr
Generals apprebeneive of each a battle. What the reason
is for any mad; who is too cowardly to shoulder a mhsket
and flgbt h'mself, to thus Blander a'brave, gallant and ac
complished, officer la nore than we can divine, unless it be
that Col. D. Is a souud Constitution-
Union loving Democrat, and a cordial hater of everything
that tends to dissolve this Union. Col. Ddohmaw, forty
eight years ago this fall, was one of the gallant young 'men
of Lancaster wbo marched to the defence of Baltimore.—
A man that has served in two wars to pn-tect bis country’s
flag, should certainly not be subjected to the taunt and
sneer of being.a coward by stay-at-home patriots.
Death of Capt. Boone.— Capt. Samuel J.
Boons, who commanded Co. C,79th Regiment, P. V., was
killed in the late battle at PerryviHe, Ky. Capt. B. sue
cee'ted to ibe eommand of this Company after the death of
Capt. John Q. Dysart last, winter. He also served in the
three months’ service, acting as color besror of tbe old
Jackson Rifles. Capt B. was a citizen of the Gap. in this
county, where he had been engaged-io the mercantile bus
iness. He was a brave, gallant and intt-INg ntoffleir, and
one of the most warm-hearted and genial of companions.
His death will be universally regretted In the eastern part
of the conntv, where be was an well and favorably knowo.
— Hsnbt Z. Test, Second Lieutenant of tbe snme com
pany, and Lieut JosEPfl Hazza&d of the same Regiment,
were alsokilb-d in'this battle. The former officer was a

The 79th in BiTiLE.— The people of Lan
cwter cobbty may well be prond of their bods Id the field,
fof the ga'lant been through many a hard*
longbt battle and never flinched, and now the' 79th has,
alter many severe marches, encountered the enemy; and
all accoQiit* agree that they acted like veteran*, and won
imperishable glory by their noblo bravery and heroic cour
age whan io action.
Among the many accounts of the battle at Perryville,
we find the following in rtgard to the part the 79th took
In that desperate encounter:
u Starkweather int > Line.— Finding Terrill wavering,
Gen. Itossean hnsitly got Starkweather into line on tho
left of Col. Harris and immediately in the rear of Terrill’s
late position. C«pt. Stone’s Ist Kentucky and Capt Bash’s
4 b Indiana batteries were ptan’ed on a bill lookiug down
upon the valley far to the front. The Ist Wisconsin. Idea
tenant Colonel Bingham, and the 79th Pennsylvania, Co).
Hambrtght, were posted to support them. The 21st Wis
consin, Col. Sweet, was In the front of the batteries, de
ploying below the hill.'and-the 24th Illinois, Capt. Mauf
commanding, to the right of the 79th Pennsylvania, rest
ing on the left of the road to Benton. The panic stricken
troops of Terrill fled past th m, and hardly had they done
so than the rebels charged upon Starkweather and were
bloodily repulsed. They camaup in overwhelming force,
the Ist Tennessee, formerly Col. George Manry, (now the
Brigadier General comipanding this brigade,),making the
charge, being in the lead. The Ist Wisconsin and the79th
Pennsylvania, with the batteries alone,Repulsed this r?hole
baigade of Manry. The let Tennessee colors were captured
by the Ist Wisconsin, and Brigadier General George Mau
ry. and the Lieutenant Colonel commanding the Ist Ten
nessee, were killed by the 24th Illinois in the woods on
the left. Gen. Maury and Gen. Jackson fell in the same
part of the field.” •
That this is got more than Justice"to the gallant men of
Lanc-sttr county we may feel certain, for a dLtii'guisbed
officer writing from the field of battle says that the men
stood not like men, bat like statues of Iron, and that their
bravery and noble conduct, is the admiration of all.

WAR NEWS.
Battles In Kentucky*:
A portion of the army of Gen. Bnell in its pursuit
of the rebels from Louisville south, bad a severe and
protraoted fight at Perryville, on the Bth, which re*
suited in a complete viotory of the Union arms.
Perryville is south-east of. Louisville, some seventy
five miles. A despatch from Gen. Buell, from that
plaoe, to Gen. Hafieck, dated the 9th inst., Bays:
£ have already advised yon of the movements of
the army under my command from Louisville. More
or less skirmishing has ocourred daily with the
enemy’s cavalry, Since then it was supposed the
enemy would give battle at Bardstown.
My troops reaobed that point on the 4th inst.,
driving out the enemy’s rear guard of cavalry and
artillery. . The main body retired towards Spring,
field, whither the pursuit was continued. The centre
corps, under Gen. Gilbert, moved on- the direct road
from Springfied to Perryville, and arrived on the
7th intact within two miles of the town, where the
enemy was found to be in force.
The left column under Gen, McOook, came upon
the Nashville road about 10 o’olook yesterday, the
Bth inst. It was ordered into position to attack, and
a strong reconnoissanoe directed.
At four o’clock I received a request from General
McCook for reinforcements, and learned that the left
had been severely engaged for several hours, and
that the right and left of that corps were being
turned and severely pressed. Reinforcements were
immediately sent forward from the centre.
Orders were also sent to the right colnmn, under
Gen. Crittenden, whioh waaadvoi oing by the Leba
non road, to push forward and attack the enemy’s
left, but it was impossible for it to get in position in
time to prooureany decisive result.
• The action continued until dark. Some fighting
also ocourred on tbe centre. The enemy were every-.
Vhere repulsed, but not without some momentary
advantage on tbe left.
•The several corps were put in position daring the
nigbt and moved to tbe attaok at six o’olook this
morning. Some skirmishing ocourred with tb.e
enemy’s rear-guard. Tbe main body had fallen' back
in the direction of Harrodsbnrg.
I have no accurate report of our loss yet. It is
probably pretty heavy, including valuable officers.
Generals Jackson and Perrill, I regret to say, are
among the killed. D O. Bubll,
* Major General Commanding.”
A despatch from Louisville says that our force en
gaged in this battle was about 15 000 infantry, 2500
cavalry, and eight batteries of artillery, with some
reinforcements towards the olose. Our loss was 500
or 600 killed, 2300 wounded, and 440 prisoners.
Amoug the killed, were Geus. Jaokson and .Ferrell,
and acting Brig. Gen. Webster. Gens Kosseau,
Sewell, Sheridan and Lytle, and Coi. Pope were
wonuded.
A Louisville despatoh of the 12ib says:
The rebel loss was 1300 hilled und wounded includ
ing one tien. uunamed, and fourteen Colonels aud
Litut Colonels. This number ot killed and wounded is
admitted by the rebel medical director, of Cheatam’s
division.
The rebels were so crippled on Wednesday, that
they could not carry away seven pieces of artillery
that they bad captured.
We captured 100 000 rounds of their ammunition.
A despatob of the 10th says tien. Buell’s forces
drove tien. Bragg’s nearly ten on Thursday,
with great slaughter. The rebels are retreating in
disorder, and our fo.ces are following olosely in pur
suit. "
A despatch from Louisville dated the 12th says :
Private despatches from Lebanoa say that a great
battle was fought yesterday between Harrodsburg
and Danville —heavier than that of Wednesday.
Gen. Wolford, of the Federal army, took 160
wagons and 1000 prisoners. The rebels are retreat*
ing to Gamp Diok .Robinson.
Another despatch says:
The train of the 2d division of Gen. Buell’s army
was oaptured on the 10th, near Lawrenceburg, Ky ;
also a train uf sutler’s stores. Maj. Bradford, Quar
termaster Cassiil and 75 privates of the 77th Penn,
regiment, Coi. Btambaugb, are among the prisoners.
in another part of the State, at Frankfort, the
rebels were defeated. A despatch of the 9th says:
Morgan entered Frankfort yesterday morning at
7 o’olock with his own and Scott's cavalry, 3000
strong, meeting with no opposition. This morning
Gen. Dumont moved on them from Shelbyville, ana
at noon routed them. The rebels are said to be dis
persed, wandering over the adjacent hills, endeavor
ug to avoid Dumont’s pursuing foroea. If not ail
captured, the oommaud will be qompletely broken
up. The rebels destroyed the turnpike bridge before
they were attaoked.
A despatob of the 12th says: *
Squads of Gen. Dumont’s men under Col. Miller,
captured 2 pieces of artillery and 150 rebels at
Versailles, yesterday.
'1 h« 'Battle at Corlntli.
The battle at Corinth, Miss , resulted in a decided
and important victory to our arms. Ibe position is
a very important one, and the large amount of Gov
ernment property there added to the vaine of the
'stake. The preparations aud efforts of the enemy
for its oapture were made in proportion to the object
to be secured. The correspondent of the Missouri:
bemoorat gives the following details of the battle :
On the morning of the 3d onr outposlß were at
tacked by the enemy in force about six miles north
east of Corinth, and before nine o’clook tbeengage
ment became general and fierce, and a sanguinary
battle was fought. Our men under Gen. Boseorans
stood up manfully, and fought , with great coolness
and bravery, bat regiment after regiment and
brigade after brigade poured in upon us, and we
were forced slowly backward, fighting desperately.'
The rebels pushed forward with determined obstinacy,.
and held every inch of ground they gained. * They
endeavored to outflank our inferior force, and we
were obliged to fail baok still further Co prevent this
movement from being accomplished. The enemy
were now inside onr breastworks pushing us back
ward toward the town, when darkness pnt an end to
the fightiDg for the day. Paring the day’s fight onr
loss was heavy, bat that -of tla*-on«my- n>utt-b»v«
largely exceeded ours. Three pieces of the Ist Mis
souri battery were captured ; Brig. Gen. flackleman.
tell mortally wounded Tit the head of his men | and
the same evening. Gen. .Oglesby was shot.
About four o’clock on toe morning of the4th, the
enemy opened briskly on the town with shot and
shell. Our batteries replied, and for an hour orinOre
heavy cannonading was kept up. At the expiration
of that time two rebel gnus bad been disabled, and
shortly after daylight their battery of seven guns
was captured. A portentous quiet soon ooourred, and
it was evident some moyemeut was being made by
tbe enemy- The Western sharpshooters, under Col.
Burke, wetje ordered forward as skirmishers to feel
the enemy. At half-past nioe they met him three
fourths of amitein advance of our line of battle,
advancing rapidly in heavy columns upon the town.
Immediately a murderous fire was opened on this
heavy line by our skirmishers, who slowly began to
retire.
The woods seemed alive with rebels, and it appear
ed impossible for the gallant regimeqt to escape de
struction in their retreat over the three-quarters of
a mile which intervened between'them and our
temporary works uf defence. For a few minutes tbe
engagement became general. Our battery opened a
destructive fire on the exposed ranks of the rebels,
mowing them" down like grass;; Their slaughter was
frightful, but with daring recklessness they- pushed
impetuously forward. Tney charged our works des-
Hues'of infantry and captured a
small fortification ja which e .battery, of the Ist
Missouri-was planted. All seemed lost, and a tempo
'rary panic seised our men, and the rebels.once more
marched into the streets of. Oorintft But new bat
teries were opened upon them, and our men under'
the direction of oourageous officers and stimulated
by their example, fought desperately, and the ad
vance of tbeienemy was oheoked. * They , wavered
and then fell back. . Our lost battery was regained,
and opce more it burled destruction into their ranks.
The day was laved, and the enemy in fall re^eafe: ;i
Oar loss was comparatively small during the fear-';
ful charge. That of tbe enemy was full. twenty to
our one killed. Among the killed left on the field
were Brig. Gen. Bogeys of New Orleans, Col . and

W ben the oharaoter and probable issue of the fight
at Corinth became evident to Gen. Grant, orders
were issued for the march of Gen. Hurl but from
Boiiver to intercept the enemy’s, retreat. Gen. H.
came np with the enemy’s videttes about 4 o’olook,
Saturday afternoon, and skirmished considerably.
Towards night Gen. Ord arrived with fresh troups,
and about seven o’olock*on the morning of the stb,
prepared to advance. About half a mile from the
camp of the preceding night the enemy disputed our
advance, first with cavalry, then with iufautry, and
finally with artillery.: The road led our troops alooc
a lano, narrow and winding. : thiough forest and
swamp, and over steep hills, where artillery horses
were nnable to haul the guns, and the men brought
them over by hand. The enemy posted their anil
lery upon the brows of tho hills, and their infantry
in the forest and jungles, but the determined valor
of our brave men overcame every obstacle, and they
were driven book again aoroes the Hatohie, in the
direction of Corinth. The bridge they had not time
to burn, so sorely were they pursued.
On the north side of the- river aud about half a
mile distant they made a stand, aDd here was the
turning point of the engagement. The enemy were
beaten.baok until their advance was reaohed by
Boseorans, who was pursuing on the Ohorwalla road.
The particulars of this fight have not been received,
save that the enemy were beaten and utterly routed.
A large number of prisoners were taken and several
valuable batteries of artillery.
Our entire loss in'the battle of tbe Hatobie will
probably make 500 killed and wounded, with a full
proportion of officers.
Gen. Hurlbut took 400 prisoners and 1000 stand of
arms, two full batteries and caissons for another.
Among the rebel prisoners is an aid to Gen. Van
Dorn and several of bis Colonels.
Gen. Ord says on Sunday we lost several hundred
in wounded, probably more than tbe enemy. We
have taken several thousand stand of arms thrown
away by the rebels in their flight. They are mostly
new muskets of English make. , '
The fightiDg on Saturday is described as desperate
in the extreme, the rebels rushing up to the mouths
of the cannon. Many of them were blown to atoms.
,G n. Ord was severely wounded.
Gen McPherson is now conducting the pursuit,
and it is supposed the enemy is moving in the direc
tion of Holly Springs, Miss.
A dispatoh from Curintlh says Gen. Giant recalled
Gen. Boseorans from thei pursuit on tbe 9tb. Tbe
latter reports the enemy dispersed, demoralised and
inoapable of further This dispatch adds:
. The enemy spiked and abandoned eleven guns.
Three caissons weie destroyed, and most of their
ammunition and baggage trains were oaptured. Our
victory was incontestably one of the cleanest of the
war. Altogether we have 2000 prisoners, Inol ding
10 1 officers, besides tbe wounded About 1000 rebels
were killed. Our loss was 350 killed and 1200
wounded.
SPEECH OF EX-SEKATUB ALLEN, OF
A large meeting of the Democracy of Ohib
was held at Chillicotbe, on the 4ch last., at
which ex-Senator Allen delivered a speech, in
the oourse of which he presented the follow
ing picture of negro emancipation in conse
quence of the President’s Proclamation :
Suppose that the contemplated, emancipa
tion should bo inaugurated successfully, seven
or eight hundred thousand negroes, with their
handß reeking in the blood of murdered women
and children, would.present themselves ovour
Southern border demanding to cross over iDto
our State, as Ohio’s share of the freed slaves
—Beven or eight hundred thousand negroes,
without money,. without food and without
personal property of any kind, who, in virtue
of nature’s law, wore compelled to eat and be
clothed. Then would come the conflict
between the white laborers and the negroes.
The negroee would enter into such competi
tion with the white laborers that the latter
would have to.abandon’the field of labor here
—make way for the negroes—or maintain
their ground by waging a war on tbo negroes,
that would result in driving them'from ttys
State, or in their extermination. It was hard
'o compel a white man who earned seventy
five cents a day to contribute twenty-five
cents of that sum to be expended in schemes
to buy the freedom of the negro. He won’t
like that. The fanatics claim that these
schemes are prompted by philanthropy.
Carried outj they would end in the death of
the negroes; 'lf it were possible to colonize
the negroes in Central America, where it is
proposed to colonize them, they would starve,
and if emancipated and not removed from
our country, their extermination was sure to
follow.
Until the negroes shall be recognized as
sooially the equal of white men, they cannot
be politically their equal. None of those
fanatics;, who claim to be acting in behalf of
philanthropy, would consent that their sons
and daughters should intermarry with the
negro. From tho marriage altar spring our
political privileges; if not equal there, we are
not politically equal. No oojeotions are in
terposed to oursons and daughters intermarry
ing with Englishmen, Germans, Irishmen,
Frenchmen, &c. Wo all belong to the same
family. We are simply the advance guard—
they are the guard—our fathers, mothers,
brothers and BistcrH. All these intermarry,
and soon the blood beoomes melted into the
great pool of American blood. Not so with
the negro. He does not belong to the same
family. God created him differently. That
he is different is palpable to the philosopher,.
if not the theologian, and why he was created
differently is immaterial for us to know; it is
sufficient to know that he is different, without “
seekingto obtain the affidavit of the Almighty
on the subject. 4
GESEBAI. M'CALL.
The people have decided that General
M’Call should not represent them in Congress,,
Why should the President not decide be
should not represent them in the field? The
time has come to dispose oj doubtful men.
The above is from Forney’s Press of the
15th. Tho renegade, swelling with exultation 1
over an imagined sweeping victory, presumes'
to suggest General M’Call V dismissal from
the army to the President. When that brave
soldier was fighting the battles of the Union
on the Peninsula, he was not a '"doubtful
man ” —but tbe moment he consents to' the
use of his name-as a Democratic candidate he
becomes, in Forney’s estimation; a traitor, no
longer to.be trusted with military command.
The President will hardly dare to take the
step, recommended.' If he does, he should
take another in the same direction, and
effectually damn himßelf in the opinion of the
country and the world, by discharging every
Demodratic soldier in the ranks. There are
more than three hundred thousand of them’
there who care little for Abraham Lincoln,;
and despise his Abolition principles as;muoh
as General M’Call does. The President they
obey—the Union they are faithful ; to; but
there is not amanof them who would not to
morrow,' if a chance offered, vote Mr. Lincoln;
and his: Abolition cabinet out of office; and fill
their places . with, men capable andhonest;*4
What says Forney ? Should these Democratic
1 soldiers betrustedin the, ranks ? They ■ arm
just aa goo4traHars.as the men. who voted
against tbe'Abolition; candidates Oh Tuesday"
