TERTRSVAY MOILNING, AUGUST 20,1863.
GOVERNOR CURYIIV.
The following ar ticle we copy from the.Pitts
burg Gazette of July 20th, an Abolition sheet
of the darkest dye, which shows the estimation
in which he is held by fl large majority of his
own. party, An artist from the infernal re
gions is not I,ltely to paint the Devil blacker
than he is, and we may fairly infer that it is a
correct likmess es far 'as it goes, and that the
history of the balance of his Misdeeds, which
the writer says he has "scarcely yet opener',"'
would exhibit this .reckless •aspirant for Jim,
Gubernatorial honors (and pet haps DeW•shoddy
cohtraele) in a OM Mbre unfovoratlo light!
"We have l already suggested that we would
regard the re-nomination of Governor Curtin
as a great calamity to the party and to the'
eon : wiry, for the double reason - that, we should
expose ourselvee to the imminent risk' of a de ,
feat, if we:did not even shills , thereby that we
bad deserved it, and that we should 'render a
very doubtful service to either,,by electing him.
We now proceed to assign some of the reasons
for that opinion.
.• ' - •
""It cannot be disputed, wb think, that his
administration has Proved eminently disastrous 4
to the Tarty which brought- him into power.
That it has been an unfortunate one for the
State, ' khe present condition of her plundbred
1 11044. thud and dilapidated revenues' *ill
abundantly attest. It is nett eleai that it hie
beeh a wholesorne one for:the country. It is
butte° clear that it hat bent thimaging ane
for himself—so damaging that; it-is More than
doubtful whether the 'Union' sentiment, strong
'as-it unquestionably is; would be snffioiently
poiverful to override the unfavorable opinions •
s'alenetally entertained of his integrity and
wisdom, nottvithstailding-the more than char
itable reserve of the press, Which has flung a
mantle over his faults, and perhaperencouraged,
- hie friends and him Self to believe that the his
tory of his administration Will Continue a sealed
book, or be forgotten amid the clangor of arms

GENER✓IL BLITNT , S SITUATION.
From the Et. Louie Democrat, August 13
Our advices from General Blilnt and his ar
my are net of the most encouraging character.
At last accounts they were unquestionably in
a situation of peril, and but for our confidence
in the commander, we should regard their case
as desperate. As it stands, it is moree• than
probable a battle before this has been fougiat,
and owing to the great disparity' of numbers,
we should not be surprised to learn of a defeat
to the Union alms.
On the 6th of August, Captains. Grealish and
Cobb, of the 4thregiment, Indian brigade, ar
rived at Fort. Scott, Kansas,from Fort Blunt,
(formerly Gibson.) They eft that post, with
out escort, on Sunday evening, the 2d inst.,
bringing despatches from General Blunt,. The.
courage of these officers is worthy of praise.
Their ride of one hundred and eighty miles
was through 'a country traversed by Living
stones- '
and other Rebel guerilla gang': They
made Fort Scott, in a, --littler over four, days,
averaging ; forty-five miles each day,,
When gley left Fort Mint - , the Piisition of
affair's' was both exciting'and. alarming. •The
ltebela had returned to their, old battle4grounci.
at Honey Springs, where the remains ofCepip
-405 force, about 4,000 in number,.bad heen
reinforced by Generals Steele and*Cabell fl'om
'Fort Sthith, with 4,000 men, and General ltai
'l4y, with five Texas reginients trona' the :Rod
river, valley, about 3,000 men, in all 11,09,
,with , lo guns. General Steele is in command.
Generaißlunt, to meet this Ihrce,ba.s about
2,500 reliable and' effective men,. -He. sent a
messenger some days ago to Eort Scott, cotto
'terinanding the march of . a
supply•train whiCh
started of the 81st ult.,:and ordering the' es
cort, consisting of four companies of the 6th
Kansas cavalry, , and six of the • 13th Kansas
infantry, in all 809 Pen and two /ORS, to move
to Fort, Blunt by forced march. They were
met, by Captains Grealish and - Cobb on the
Grand a iver;l2o miles below, and Would probe
-bly reach Gibson by tl46Bth inst.
General Blunt's information from the ene
my's camp assures him of the disaffeetitha of
the Creek Indianq, whom he - confidently ex
pected to desert to out.' side should he attack.
It would' also appear:dint .Bailey's ,brigade of
Texans is mostly composed of , late c,onscripts,
' a majority being Union men. .On. reyieiv of
.the whole field, it appears thaf'General BlUnt
had deteimined to attack the Rebels soon after
the. arrival' of Colonel Bowen,l3th F,Zansas.
The attack has, in all probability,, been made
before:this. It was his intention to cross the
river, and give thein battle.
Go:clonal Blunt and 'his troops, intelior in
iiiitilihers as they were; .were ,- y6t .confident of
mletory. The odds were•great, but let us trust
the same vietoryyrldeh has always smiled upon
General Blunt's foreei may' yet " lie 'granted

Correipondents near the shatiO • of action
criticise the :course of the • ,deParttnePt• c9m
mander, severely, for, not giving General Blunt
reinforcements, which they claim he is able to
do from forces lying idle bdth inlC.ansas and
litissonri. - • What the facts in relation to this
matter are,we are unable. to say, but if General ,
Schofield,-through negligence, or any other
cause, shall have permitted the 'gallant little
army of 'the frontier to 'be oierpowered ' and
•ilefeited, lie will never tseape the responsi
.bility. "- . • . •

,of Gmeral
Blunt, as above statid; a correspondent 'gives
the following reasons: "' - 3 • ,
cclt may'seem the height of•trisliness fOr
General Blunt to attack the enemy„ontnunt
ibered,ap he is. • Let us- fook.at the position a
moment. If he remains at Foregibson he
' - will soon be - surrounded by the ReVels, cutoff f
I . from supplies, be compelled to cut his way mit,
, or surrenderliknominiously.. If he. falls hack
now it will be discovered, and,soon the foe will .
be pressing . OH him, outflanking-.and attacking
his rear. If he abandons the fortifications at .
Port Blunt it will taste"ten 'thousand 'to dis
lodge or cut off the Rebels. when they obtain
possession., Is not the chance of a successful
attack (uncertain as it is) better , than either
other horn of the dilemma? We hope for
victory, believing in the tried soldierly.quali
tfes of Gen, Blunt and his. men. We look
anxiously for news." -
A GROSS OUTRAGE.
On Thursday evening last An infamous
outrage upon the constitutional rights of a por
tion of our fellosv citizens was perpetrated, at
the Democratic Central club room. 'it appears
that Mr. Scheedler 2 of l3erks county, addressed
the meeting on that occasion, and after he had
finished and the Club was about adjourning, an
armed force consisting of ten or twelve men
belonging to the Invalid Corps, so-called, Who
have been stationed in our city fOr the last few
weeks, appeared at tbe door and at the foot of
the stairs, where, with fixed bayonets and
loaded, muskets, they attempted to prevent any
egress from the building unless, as a prelimin
ary, the speaker of the evening wasstirren
dered to them as a prisoner. It is seemly nor
- cessary to say that the; insolent demand was
not complied with,and the crowd of Democrats
increasing every moment, the military (who
refused to show any authority for' theirinter
ference and attempted arrests, when requested
to do so,) thou ..ht discretion the better part
