' « *' 1• 1 * “ There is no official .in l the country of whom we have a poorer, opinion as regards his ability as a statesman, his integrity or patriotism, thin we have of President Lincoln.” 1 • We quote these words from a late issue pf the .Clinton County Democrat, a paper printed in this (new) Congressional District. We place it upon record as a specimen of impudent men dacity as yet not excelled by any Northern traitor since the war begun, .In one sentence this foolish fellow not only assails the ability of Mr. Lincoln as a statesman, but he goes efen farther than his co-traitor Vallandigham has yet dared to do in bis place in Congress, far ther than any man in or oat of Congress has yet dared to do r and assails the President’s in tegrity and patriotism 1 ‘ This fellow—the editor of the Democra t—for years a miserable and dirty tool of a miserable and dirty clique democrats who own.him and who bare fed him’with, public plunder du ring the last two administrations, may hare! judged pf Mr. Lincoln’s integrity, ability, and statesmanship from his, own stand , point,, Tf| .this be so, then indeed ought the friends of Mr, Lincoln to be prond of him. / ;The editor of the I Democrat probably tbinksßuchanan was the very pink and perfection' of statesmanship.— During bis administration, a deep and damna ble plot to pull down thO fair fabric of freedom and.good government established by the wis dom of the fathers, and sealed with the best blood of many of them, jwas instigated and in augurated under his very nose, by the statesmen of the Democrat’s school whom be had gath ered about him as bis Constitutional advisers. If plotting treason and stealthily executing it,' if stealing arras and munitions of war for the purpose of taking the nation’s life, if stealing millions of dollars worth of bonds ond gold 1 from the treasury, if these and a hundred other crimes mean statemanship, integrity and pat riotism, then indeed is the Democrat correct in, itp estimate of Mr. Lincoln, but not otherwise.^ But Ibis fellow’s opinion is of little conse-1 qoence .to any body. 'He represents nobody | but the clique who own and feed bits. The . respectable portion of the democracy of Clin-i! ton County are loyal, and heartily despise the j effort toyommit them to the. doctrines .of Tab landigham and bis address. At the commence* ment of the rebellion, in common with many of our editorial brethren throughout the Stale, we cut off from our exchange list, all newspa- ’ pen which sympathised with the rebels. We) see rery few of them—none of them except by 1 the favor of friends who send ns them, probn bly as cnriosties of literature.- We know of none so rabid—none so-begrimed with the dirt, pf slavery—cone so lost to all that good men - honor in politics—as this same Democrat. If 1 ! echoes all the arguments of the Patriot and Union, and, if possible, ou| does that misnamed \ shcetin.the mendacity of its assertions. Its i I disease is the negro. It tries to make its read-1 era believe that the abolition of slavery would cause tbe North to be overrun with negroes f who would compfeto with pobr laboring white men, thus appealing to the prejudices of a.class, while in another article it says tbe negroes are a shiftless, lazy, wotthless .race, and will not work I He gets off a.joker about tbe odor of the negro, but forgets that his masters of two years ago—the lords qf the lash and tbe lead ers of tbe t)emcratic party were suckled upon the breasts of negroes and wdre never known to refuse their dinners on account of tbe smell. In short, tbe Clinton Democrat is a model mod em democratic paper, and when we say this, bat little moiw need be said of it. It should place at its head as a motto ; the words of Ste phens the' rebel Vice President: “ African Slavery as it exists among . ns is the, proper states of tbe Negro in onr form of .Civilization, and bur now Government (the Southern Con federacy) is tbe first in the history of the world based upon this great physical, moral and pbil" osophical truth.” With this open declaration in its columns, it should be published in some place down in Dixie where its opinion of Presi dent Lincoln’s patriotism, ability, and integrity would be appreciated os tbe declaration, of an open enemy, instead of being- despised as it is now, by all who- would see the rebellion crushed out and traitors punished as they deserve.

The Union losses in the lute fierce battle, at Port Republic are partially reported. A glance at the painfully long list of names shows with what desperate courage our brave heroes contested the ground, against' a' force more than fire times their number, led by Jackson in person, to whom, os he well knew, defeat would be utter destruction. We bad not more than 2,500 men intbe fight—parts only of sev en regiments, with a squad of cavalry ; that of this small force nearly one-quarter are killed and wounded, is eloquent testimony to their courage and valor. The 7tb Indiana reached Port Republic with only about 300 men ; they return 211 killed, wounded, and missing. This gallant regiment held the right wing for four hours against a vastly superior force. Tbs return of oausualties, as near fall as it can be made, sums up as follows; Killed, .07; Woun ded, 361; Missing, 574; Total, 1,002. Late accounts from Gen. Halleck’s army state,.tlbat Gen.

Wood’s division, of Buell’s corps is re pairing the bridge over. Bear Creek, 26 miles east of Corinth, on the Memphis and Charles ton Railroad. Gen. .Thomas has 6,000 men in Corinth, who are giving .that tow.n and sur rounding country a thorough renovation. - Gen erals McClernand and Wallace are at Purdy, with 2,000 men. The railroad from Corinth' to Jackson, Tcnn„ is being rapidly put in or der, as also that from Jackson down to Grand Junction; so that in any emergency, before the .completion of the bridges between Corinth and Grand Junction, troops may be forwarded without delay. Communication by railroad with Columbus, Ky., is expected to be opened in a few days. Saturday’s dispatches from the army before Richmond report active and mysterious move inents on the part of the kebels, but for what | purpose was not apparent. Large,bodies were I moving from Richmond toward' the late battle field ; our pickets at Old Church were driven in, and early in the morning an artillery fire was begun upon Gen. Sumner’s front. The Reb els seemed to be feeling , for a weak spot, pre paratory to making another general attack. An Opinion.

In the course of his remarks on the slavery question the Judge re marked t I will, however, leave a Democratic leader of Philadelphia to say a few words to him on that subject. I will take the liberty of reading to him and the House n letter I received yester day from the camp before Chiokahominy. Whether the writer of that letter is now at the head of hie gallant regiment, or whether he died' in the conflict .of Saturday and Sunday, I know not. I hope[he yet lives; but if be was among tbe victims of that terrible conflict, those who mourn him will see that his last testimony was honorable, patriotic, and humane. Tbe letter is from one who has shared the honors of many a political field with my colleague, laboring with him on the stump, and marching shoulder to shoulder with him in many a botly oonUsted political campaign. He is a tried and gallant soldier, who, having served three months and been honorably mustered out of service, organized and led to the field under tbe lamented Baker another regiment j a native, I believe, of the same. beautiful island, and a worshipper at the same ancient alter with" him who still pines in a southern jail because he led the New York sixty-ninth so gallantly at Bull Run. His regiment is tbe sixty-ninth Pennsylvania, and was so numbered because tbe gallantry of his countrymen from New York had endeared tbe number to him and Kis inen. In October last, at our State election, his regiment, under his lead, voted unanimously for my colleague’s coadjutors in the Democratic par ty of Philadelphia and Pa.

C., May 27th, 1862. i Fbiend Agitator —Although it has been 'some time since you Inst beard from Co. I, we are all alive snd on the enemy’s track. When you last heard from os we were at the Stony House mid orange groves, oysters, and flowers, ■ but ojj the Btb of May birr-company received orders to.pack bur knapsneks. and strike tents which wah dfine in remarkably short time, and in one hour We were on our -way to Senbrook’s Landing. We were there in due time and were soon on board of tbe steamboat Delaware, nod were soon steaming down the broad river past Port Royal, nnd out into the ocean. The day was very. pleasant, and the scene was indeed beautiful. I have often beard of an ocean sun set, but never saw one half so magnificent as this. The whole heavens appear to be lit up : with one blase, of. a somber hue, and Os the sun set beyond the western wave tbe scene was oven more sublime. At dusk we cast anchor in St. Helena Sound where we staid all .night in passable easy cir cumstances. At early morn all were astir, and ■ in due time we were landed on Otter Island,- here we found two company’s O and E, of our Regiment, nil feeling well and enjoying them selves first rate. Otter Island is a barren san dy jsle with only a few palmettos and an occa sional pine. This island covers probably three hundred and fifty acres when the tide is out. The most prominent feature of this island is Fort Drayton, situated at the mouth of Helen Sound. This was first built by the rebel troops, but at the time our troops took possession of i the eastern shpres of South' Carolina this was I speedily evacuated when our troops took poe- I session and set about repairing the works.— I This fort non-mounts five guns, and to all ap pearaoe this is a very] formidable work. But as you bave heard from Otter front other sour- I will only say that on the 20jh of May we left this desolate isle and went on board of the craft Potomac, an q|d-and apparently rotten boat, but,notwithstanding at eve we anchored in North Edisto River. As we entered tbe mouth of this stream the soldiers were all or dered below and not allowed to show our heads above deck until after dark when wo wore to unload and march to quarters. The reason of biding us we are told was tbjs; We had to pass Rebel grounds and they did not wish the enemy to knowtbat we were reinforcing Edisto for fear that they would bum the beautiful town that they were quartered in and, then leave for Charleston, and thus avoid the 45th. This said town is in plain sight of here, and through a glass appears to be beautiful indeed with its spires; iatid towers, &o. ’ During the nfght many of the jioys wereem ployed at the not very easy task of unloading the steamer which was no very easy job, as the freight had to tbs loaded on a smaller boat, then taken to tbe dixjk and there set ashore, this work took all night and the next forenoon. At daybreak the companies were taken ashore and parched half a mile to quarters. Hera we pitched.tepts between our old friends tbe 45th and 55th, whom we bad not seen in some time. There is now six companies here, the rest being left behind on Hilton Head Island. They are expected to be here soon, when we will have tbe largest regiment in this brigade. When are nil get together we will probably be;mus tered into the brigade commanded by Gen. Wright. The General’s head quarters are on this island about,a mile and a half from here ,on what is called Seabrook’s Plantation.the grandest one by jail odds that I have yet seen jn, South. Carolina, The house is very large and airy, built after the modern style. Tbe grounds about the house !by far exceed all I ever. saw before. Atone side is a. very large garden filled wlth.nll kinds of shvbubery and flowers, both grand and useful. It also contains large fish ponds filled with all kinds of fish with colors of all description almost too nice to,sot eyes upon. There are also parks filled with beautiful birds of all kinds, but time will not permit me to say more of this place., I will now-return to the 45th., Perhaps you would wish" to know something about where we are situated. It is on North Edisto on the banks of Edisto river, twenty one miles from Charleston, and about fifty From our old quarters on Hilton Head Island. We.are said to ]be in. bearing distance of. the iron horse bn the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, but ! havo not yet had the good for tune to hoar him, as ho must either not be there orh.e is.sonie skeered at the approach of, the Yankees. ' Nearly all of-‘ tbe regiments, around us are tinder marching orders expect-1 ing to leave soon fur some place they know not ’ where;‘bat Ihey'generally expect it to be.to-, | wards Charleston. As near as one can conjee- I tore, there is aoon. to.be a grand move here in ; that direction." We bat hope and trust it will be successful. The Soger boys are all ready, and anxious to start in the direction of Fort Sumter and vicinity. They think they are the, boys that can make old Sumter’s guns rattle 1 worse than the rebels did a year ago. -Soma, of the New York Engineer Corps are Erecting a battery close t) our,, quarters. It Is to mount two guns. As near as. I can learn tbis is so that a very small force can defend the island, egainst.an attack from the enemy. This battery would keep a large force.of the enemy from landing on Ibis shore. This is < all very well of course, although the Engineers do not appear to think so, as they appear to be rather dissatisfied in working so bard while so many other rbgimenfs are laying’ idle before and around them, but they need not grumble as they are well paid. There is now only five regiments and one battery here yet, but more are daily expected. As soon as a proper amount of men arrive here the brigade will probably move somewhere, weehall.soon learn. It has. been about ten days since we received any.mail* and we’tnay not for ten days to ookne. Our mails come very - irregular and go more so. Our friends must keep.writing to the soldier boya as they will, of course, answer every letter they get. We receive no news by way of news papers, as they are not allowed to come South. We know very little about what is going fm in the North or West,-even Burnside, as close as be is, we do .not know what , he is doing. All we can do is to wait andvwatch for the'time for us to start for Harrisburg. Although the boys do pot appear to be at all home sick, yet, of course, they would like well to see home and friends. ; We hsvo battallipn drill twice every day, and company drill in the morning, and taking the hot weather into consideration, this is do ing pretty good business. ‘ Charlie. From the S2d Pennsylvania Begiment. Extracts from a Private Letter. In Camp, seven miles from Richmond, ) Va., June 3d, 1862. j * * * —l suppose you are informed of tbe battles that wefe fought on Saturday, and Sun day last, and 1 now take the first chance that offers, to inform you that lam well, and to give yon an account of the battle in which our bri gade was engaged. Our regiment was on tbs extreme advance, encamped, and supporting the pickets. Abuunt noon, on Saturday last, they were attacked and, driven In. We were >under arms at the first alarm, and finding that tbe troops farther to our left were attacked, we were marched in that direction. We were drawn up in line of bottle a in the woods, just before the crossing of the Rail'Read, and were ordered to advance to'the support of the 104th Pennsylvania Volunteers, who were fighting .about eighty rods ahead of. us. We bad gope but a few'rods, End into the edge of a swamp when a perfect storm of bullets were poured into ns from rebel troops, who were concealed in ibe thick woods. We at once returned their fire,! hut in a short time had to retreat to the road. Tbe attack took us all by surprise, and it is now known that there was three Georgia regiments in the woods, and when a -volley was poured into our exposed ranks, they would load kneeling, and those behind, would fire over (heir heads. It was a complete butchery of oar men, and there must hare been poor gener alship somewhere, to allow oar men to advance as they did; Our brigade was attacked by overwhelming numbers, and there is .scarcely a remnant of it left.. We cannot master 200 men in our regi ment, and there are but 21 left in ourcompuny. Our Captain had bis right arm hit by a bullet, and it has been smputated. There are not enough men ; now in the whole brigade, to form a regiment. There is much talk of its being disbanded, but I do not know what will bo done about it. AVe lost everything except what we had on, but requistions have been made out for what'we bave lost, and we will soon be aopplied again- 'Since we crossed the Chickahominy, we have fought two battles,.and have bad our harness on—ie., our. guns, equipments, <fco.—all the time, for over two weeks. Out brigade rallied, and is now encamped, or rather staying in the woods,,about two miles from the battle-field, for we have ho tents, dr blankets, and are almost entirely unprotected from the heavy dews, heat and rain.- By the way, I woke-, up last night ■and found myself about half burlel in water. The men are; so worn got with their'hard work lat they can sleep straddle of a half inch rope, if they are allowed to have that privilege. But sucti is the fortunes of war. Tbe soldiers know it and don’t grumble. Oh Sunday Inst, the rebels attacked oar for ces again, butt after a desperate fight, they were driven back <|ver the ground they had gained the day befofe, and to tho place where the fight first commenced on Saturday. Yesterday, 1 was over tbe battle field, and 1 can never forget the horrid eights that I then saw. The wound ed bad been removed, but the ground for acres was covered, ;and in some places piled with the mangled dead of both -armies, while the horrid stench of tbe decaying men and horses, wasal most unsupportable. The ground is thickly covered for' many acres, with guns clothing, and everything that belongs to a mighty nation and two. mighty armies. Our Joss-will reach many thousands, but as great as it is, it does not exceed, nor equal that of the rebels. Sat urday arid Sunday Will ever be remembered os days on -which the heaviest" battle was fought that ever took place on the American Continent, thus furjin the suppression of .this infernal re bellion. But as bloody as they were, they must again bejrepeated, for the rebel leaders see that their fate hangs on the result of this week’s work, and they have fought, snd will still fight, with tbe energy of despair, A heavy .firing is now heard farther to our right, and we may soon be engaged in the .work of death and de struction 1 . But we, can only wait and see, and trust in the God of battles, to battle-fur the right. | 1 was not hurt in tbe battle, though men fell around me like grass; but it may come my tarn next. I got a bullet through my. blouse in the fight. I am told that our letters cannot be forward ed to their-destination, and l am not certain that you will ever receive this if I direct it. — I am welt, and in good spirits, and hope you are all the same. So, good bye; and as 1 said before, don’t be uneasy if yon do : not hear fr6m me soon. Cecil A. Deane.
