    SUMMARY OP-WAR M.. WontrOt -gli,iiiiii#
CN 10.--- . -The-stelvancebf General Fre
inont's army readied . liarrisonburg on
Saturday afternoon, and-drove Jackson'r .
rear guard front the town. ColtineL Bay
ard!s t - mialry and Kane's Pennsylvania ri
fles followed - them. The latter suffered
severely, losing Lieutenant Colonel . Kine,
who was wounded and Captured, togeth
-er with Colonel Wyndham, of the First
New Jersey Cavalry.
JuNt:-.l.—The . rebel Jackson has at
• last been overtaken by Fremont, and beat-d
en .in r severe battle. On Sunday the
main body of Jackson's army was reach
ed by the Federal troops, seven miles be
yond Ilarrisonbprg; the army was post
ed in the woods, his- whole position being
completely masked. Our entire column
was brought np, and the line M battle
quickly formed. A sharp fire - of artillery
tailed to dislodge the rebels, Or to evoke a
response for some time, though the Gari,
babli Guard became early engaged on the
extreme - right, and compelled the enemy
to fall back. At or near noon the order
•. was given to our troops for the general
advance, and then the hard battle ccim
.menced. We were outnumbered at every
point, the rebels being, moreover, protect
ed by their position, which enabled them
to fight . .under cover. The fire of our ar
tillery,, and some most. gallant bayonet
charges saved the day, and gained—the ,
field in spite of the odds against us 6We
drove the enemy back and occupied the
battle-ground at night, in ,full expectation
that the engagement would be renewed
.the next morning. The valor of our troops
must have been great- The losseS are se :
sere 011 both sides—on our side, especially
"in officers. A rough estimate makes our
casualties number between 600 and 800.

gThe Republican papers are very
busy in the work of convincing the rebels
that a. very large share of the Northern
people are their frientls—that the Deino
eratic party; infact, wish them `success.—
These allegations are alike treasonable and •
false, and the authors know it. The Dem=
crats of Perry county recently met to
I elect delegates to the Fourth of July
1 State Convention, and took occasion to a
dopt)soine pointed resolutions. One gives
abolitionism its due—designating it as
one of ," the twin enemies of the Union;"
another we quote as a specimen for the ben
efit of :abolition or other allies ofsecession :
Resolved,
.That in the language ofthe
immortal Jackson; " At every hazard and.
by every sacrifice the Union must be pre
. served." It is the hope of liberty through
out the *orld, a matchless heritage front
revered ancestors, and they merit and will
_ receive the curse of posterity, who, - with
parricidal hands, are now endeavoring to
destroy it. , Let the leaders of the pres- •
• ettgeGodabliorred rebellion meet the fel
on t 3 JOOlll ; , the
_Democratic party has
neither sympathy nor pity for them. The
gallant sons of the North;
,'now risking
their lives tor the defenee of our institu
tions, will be consecrated by history, and
the war waged for the integrity of the
Union must be prosecuted until= the co
horts of treason arc utterly crushed and
defeated. We will support and sustain the
Administration in its. constitutional_ acts
and Measures, fully approving the conser
vative but.-..vigorous course in respect to
the war of President Lincoln, trusting
that he will adhere in his futitre action to
the policy indicated in the Resolutions of
the.pitra Session of Congress.
AnULEINT Itrainstattluir Doclitirm.
It is admitted I:ty all, that the New
York Tribune, more than any other paper,
,`moulds and represents the sentiments of
the Republican party = of its leaders es
pecially;
and:Abet it is quoted as the high-
est authority by ail country organs of the
party, as the authority, even in their local

articles, coolly advocating a. dissolution'.

that.paperof Nov. 10, 1860, four days af

perfect right to discuss it. Nay, we bold
with Jefferson to the inalienable right : of
communities to alter or abolish fbruts of!

onets." - •
Again; in the Tribune of Nov. 20th,
1800, we find the following: ..
"If the cotton States unitedly and ;earn
cstly Wish to withdraw peacefully from
the Union, we think they • should . . and
would Ike allowed-to do so.. An attempt
to compel.them by force to remain would
be contrary to theprinciples.enunciated in
the immortal Declaration of Independence
. --feontrary.to the fundamental hie - as on
which human liberty is based."
In the Tribune of Dec. 100 1 1860, oe- '
curs the following:
"If the people of the seven 'M. eight
contiguous States shall pretty ttitanitumni
ly resolve secede and set up for them
selves, we think they - ishonld
that it would be • most unwise to 'resist
such secession by Federal forces. -.Why is
it that those.who want to confute this-doe
