D, of fSttllkt THE TIOGA COUNTY AHIT A T 08. especially severe on nil who should cling to party i in these times of our country’s trial. This was the-hnrden of Mr, Henry Sherwood’s speech before the-late Democratic Convention ; this is the "burden of'the paper’ which but a few weeks ago containedan-ariicle which we pub lish elsewhere, trying to prove .that the " black Republicans" brought on this unhappy war. And yet under the guiseof the Union these un easy democratic leaders have tried Uo~organize a new party, which, the knowing ones say, if it be hot successful this year,-will be,a nucleus for a successful, party in the future. The lead ers preach i “no party"’ for the purpose of blinding honest and earnest Republicans to the real object of their operations. As Daniel S. Dickinson said in his speech at Ithaca, of the Democratic leaders of his own State, wire in and wire out, leave lhs people still it) doubt* Whether the snakes that made the track Are going South Or coming back. ’ ‘ So it is with the restless and uneasy leaders of the forlorn democracy of this county. They are continually wire-working, and it is a ques tion with them of spoils only.-’ We ore qnitc confident that' if they were earnestly for the Union, and for that alone, they ,would qt once have accepted the patriotic and magnanimous offer made by the Tioga Convention, to support but one ticket pledged only to “ the Union the Constitution arid the enforcement of the laws.” This they refused to do, and with them, rests the responsibility. Let them talk “no party;” the intelligent Republicans of this comity un derstand very well that there would bate been no party feeling, no criminations, nor recrimi nations, no divisions, nor excitements, had not the democracy invented, concocted and set on foot this hypocritical v Union” dodge! party for the purpose of trying to divide and destroy the only really unanimous Union party in the country. . LATEST WAE STEWS. The latest news from Lexington reports the surrender of Col. Mulligan. The intelligence, however, is received with doubt both at Wash ington and St. Louis, and at ihe latter place re enfurcements were still going forward yester day. The report comes in a dispatch to Chi cago from Quincy, Illinois, where it,was brought by the mail agent of the Hannibal and St. seph Railroad, and is confirmed by passengers on the same train. It was brought to Hamilton about 50 miles froni Lexington, by stage. Ac cording to this statement, Col. Mulligan was compelled, at last to yield to superior numbers after four days hard fighting—his men having been, for the last two days, without a drop of water. Tlie report of the loss on both sides is about the same as that previously received. A part of the story is that a body of 4,000 Rebels had encountered the lowa 3d, and after- ward the hands of General Lane. The date of thi’S'battle is not given. It had not, however, been heard of at Jefferson -City -on Friday, a dispatch of that data to The Si. Louis. Democrat reporting that Gen. Lane had arrived at Lexington. But of the truth of thd state ment there seems to have been no positive knowledge in St. Louis on Saturday. On the whole, considering the roundabout way in which the report of Mulligan’.s surrender comes, the fact that it is said to have taken place early cm Friday morning, and that_ no such informa tion, in any other way, had reached St. Louis Sandfly morning,.' there is certainly room for hope that it is without foundation. At Blue Mills. Landing, on the Mississippi River, on tho 17th inst., a disperate fight took place between 500 of tho Ist lowa Regiment, ■under Lieut.-Col. Scott, and about 4,000 of the Rebels. After an hour’s fighting, Col. Scott retired slowly and in good order. Afterward Col. Smith’s command came to his aid,- but night fell before the fight could be renewed ; when morning again came tho enemy bad! re tired, and there was no one to strive against.— In this engagement Lieut. Scott fest 5 -killed, 84 wounded, 6 missing. From Kentucky we have a proclamation from Gen. Robert Anderson calling on the loyal citi zens of the State to sustain and fight fur the Government. The Rebel General Bockber has also issued a proclamation, wherein he makes a lying pretense of aiding the State to preserve a neutral position, and promising to depart with his troops as soon as the. National forces leave. Private advices from the state speak of the spread of the Union feeling, and say that ■ the approach of Gen. Buckner has aroused the indignation of the people, who are rushing to arms for the purpose of assisting to drive the Rebels from their soil. - A deserter from the Rebel army, just arrived in Washington, says that Beauregard has 185,- 000 men under him; that they are well fed, well shod, well clothed, that they are regularly paid, and in excellent health and spirits. On the other band, a person described as a most intelligent man, just from Mannasas, states that the Rebel army is demoralized, that great num bers of them are leaving for their homes in the Gulf States, and that they have not oven forces enough to defend themselves from our attack, to say nothing of moving bn Washington, Vermont Election.— The vote for Governor in this State is reported to be about 40,000’for Holbrook/ Republican and Union, 2,000 for Tracy, Union and Republican, and 3,OCK) for Smalley the Democratic candidate.

Teachers intending to tench in the CoSi mon Schools of this County the coming winter or summer, must attend these public examina tions, for the labors of the Superintendent are so. numerous and arduous that ho .cannot stop to examinq. teachers during the time fur school visitations. Should any individuals intending to tench, willfully stay away |frotn those exam inations, they will be debarred by the very, act itself from^ a private examination; for the .School Law is explicit that' "Superintendents should’refuse to make private examinations, ex cept in cases of sickness, or other equally satis factory cause;. and not then, unless applicants bring a written request from at least three mem bers of thq board of directors who desire to employ them.” Private examinations have sunk into disrepute in this county, greatly To the benefit of the schools and the system gener ally.
