Our Republican friendi are requested to call at our office and get a supply of the article. mm m m "Sustaining the President." We have long been an occasional rea der of the Democrat & Sentinel, and have, after mature reflection, come to the con elusion, that while its editor is "a fellow of infinite jest and most exquisite fancy," he is withal a fellow who richly deserves to be closely watched. His articles, some of which are exceeding ponderous, are always prepared with the most scrupulous care; his ingenuity knows no bounds; and his sophistry, which would .seem to be inexhaustible, is so often substituted for solid argument, that the unwary are apt to be deceived by it. As we said be fore, then, he deserves watching; and now that he and we are men and brethren of the same fraternity, we have concluded to exercise- occasionally a little supervisor ry care in that direction. In his issue of last week, the editor of the Dan. tC- Sent, has an article under the above caption, and, singularly enough, lo cates himself on both sides of the ques tion. That is to say, he graciously '"'sus tains" the President in the change which he ordered to be made iu Gen. Fremont's Proclamation, while he quite as ungraci ously fails to sustain him, in the course pursued by his administration towards Se cessionists and Secession Presses in the North. We presume that, in any event, the President and his cabinet will still move on "in the even tenor of their way;" nevertheless. Ictus look into these mat ters and see how they are. Reversing the order of the article in question, we shall dispose of the latter part of it first. Now, we believe it to be a fact, that the Proclamation of Gen. Fremont, as origi nally promulgated, met the hearty and un qualified approbation of every man in the North, who is not at heart a sympathizer with Rebellion. It had a business jingle about it, and honest men of all parties, united in pronouncing it just the thing for the crisis. They did not stop to inquire whether it did or did not transcend, in any "way i any particular Congressional enactment. They did not even think of instituting such au inquiry under the cir cumstances. They knew that the Rebels were waging an uugodly warfare against the Constitution and the laws ; and that by their own acts, they had placed them selves iu a position in which they neither asked nor were entitled to any protection under them. More than this, when the Proclamation is changed, the distinction would almost teem to be oue without a difference. Still, President Lincoln, whose tenderness for legal and constitu tional right? is so proveibiul, and whose judgments against his erring brethren of the South arc always tempered with mer cy, saw tit to keep on the safe side of a doubtful question, and made the change in the Proclamation, at the request of Gen. Fremont himself. For this act of the President, the Dnn. dr Sent, says he has been fiercely denoun ced by the Republican press. 7s this so f We hac, it is true, cen an occasional article deprecating the exigency which in duced the President's action, but nowhere have we seen that action -denounced and repudiated" with the ''bitterness and fierce ness'' represented by our editorial neigh bor. Rat, taking his." assertion for truth We pass on to that remarkable sentence ia which he nays, "it affords him not a little -sleasure to be ablo to sustain the President in this matter,, and to defend him from the assaults of his abolition ma nners." This is all very well. "Half a loaf is better than no bread," and we know the President will, like the most of mankind, receive small favors with think fulness. Rut mark the consistency of this our editorial fxieud ! He comes to "sus tain" the President and his administra tion, at a moment when the ink is not dry on the sentences which he has written against them. For he charges them with holding the lash over every Democratic paper in the land, while the Republican press is left unfettered. He charges that Republican editors have freely published articles which, had they been published by Democrats, would have secured their arrest and imprisonment. He charges, in a word, a wholesale discrimination iu fa vor of Republican newspapers, and by way of putting a cap on the climax, adds, that this "certaiulv does not look like strict and impartial justice, and would lead one almost to believe, that 'there is some thing rotten in this kingdom of Den mark.' " Now, isn't this a pretty way to sustain the President and his administra tion ? Verity, our neighbor bloweth hot and cold with the same breath ! "Call you that backing of your friends? A plague on such a backing." The Difference. There is and has been a vast difference between the tone of the Republican press, and that of the Loco-Foco press in regard to the Southern Rebellion. It is well known, that -whatever differences of opin ion might have existed amongst them be fore upon that subject, after the inaugu ration of the President's policy, the Re publican editors all over the country were unanimously iu favor of the War, and have remained soever since. Whatever they may have said in relation to the man ner iu which it should be conducted, they have never declaimed against it. We re peat it, no Republican editor has ever said aught against the War ; and our regret is, that we cannot say as much of our neighbor up-strect and all other Loco-Foco editors. What are the facts ? After Abraham Lincoln had fairly and constitutionally been chosen President of the Republic, the hothead3 of South Carolina, seeing that Slavery could no longer rule, resolved to break up the government. Here was the genu of rebellion, and had an Andrew Jackson then been President, he would have crushed it at once. But "the old public functionary" said he was powerless and could do nothing, and contented him self by telling the people that ''the agita tion of the Slavery question in the North, had at last produced its natural results." Loco-Foco editors were not wanting tosus- y .... tain James iu his position, and from that time forward it seemed that his whole stu dy was how not to do anything, but to hand the government over to his successor in the worst condition possible. He succeed ed admirably in this, but meantime the rebellion assumed gigantic proportion?, State after State had gone into it, batter ies had been built, armaments collected, every warlike appointment made, and the Stars and Stripes, our National ensign, had been desecrated, and the Federal au thority utterly repudiated and set at defi ance. Government vessels had been fired into when iu the act of entering an Amer ican harbor, and a gallant band in Fort Sumter were beseiged by hundreds and thousands of armed , troops, rallying under the standard of Secession. It was decla red that Major' Anderson and his men must either surrender, or be starved or otherwise annihilated. Were they to be reinforced and provisioned by our govern ment ? What said these Loco:Foco edi tors then ? Nothing but "Peace! Peace!" Again: When it was well known that ores.?) izcd x nd systematic efforts had been and were being made to precipitate Mary land and Virginia into the mad vortex of Secession, and then seize upon Washington City and drive the officers of our govern ment from the Capitol when every act that a proud, insolent, overbearing enemy could commit, short of open warfare, had boen resorted to to humiliate and destroy our beloved government, every precaution that was. taken to secure the National honor aud safety, these Loco-Foco editors denounced as aggressive, they croaked all the while about "coercion," and with the declaration of the Secessionists that they were "forever out of the accursed Union," they still talked of reconstruction and peace ! Rut when Sumter had fallen, aud the President issued his Proclamation calling for troops to defend the Capitol, and to redress the wrongs that had been endured nearly all these Loco-Foco editors wheeled into line and gave a cordial support to the government. A few indeed gave it a gin gerly, qualified support but there were others who, so far from yielding it any support whatever, daily condemned it3 policy and course. Was this to be tolera ted ? Surely no right thinking man will say that a treasonable press should be permitted in our midst at a time when government is struggling tomaintain its very existence. It is, then, such men and such editors as these that have been assigned "comfortable nuarters in the new Iiastile", called Fort Lafayette;" and most richly have they deserved their fate. We trust they may there learn a valuable les eon, and, should they ever get out again, bo faithful to the government which pro tects them. There are, moreover, a few individuals still at large that it would not seriously damage to place along with them. Wit ness the following Resolution, found among the proceedings of a "Democratic" State Convention, held at Augusta, on the 14th day of August last : Resolved, That stripped of all disguise, the attempt of he Administration to reconstruct the Union by force, is practical disunion, and a policy which can only result in irreconcila ble alienation and permanent separation, and we appeal to all true friends of the Union to join with ns in an effort to stay its fratricidal hand aud inaugurate a pacihe policy, which holds out the only hope for our now distrac ted Union. Every line of this Resolution is redolent of Treasou, aud the man who would offer or vote for it is a black-hearted Traitor. We give it as a specimen of patriotism that no true American could exhibit. Al most every day our eye lights upon, or our ears tingle with some similar assuran ces of "Democratic" support to the gov ernment; all of which go far to establish our conviction, that the rebellious states still have advocates and sympathizers in our midst men whose hearts are full of latent treason, and who would rejoice to see the fla" of" the Confederate States tri umphant, and our glorious National Ban ner trailing iu the dust. We do not charge the editor of the Democrat d Sentinel with being one of these, but is he not found in their company ? AVe therefore earnestly recommend him to examine himself care fully and prayerfully, and then ask himself the question: Have 1 done all that my country deserves and requires of me? mm mm- From Western Vilglnfa. Grafton, Va., Sept. 25. Five hum! red of the Fourth Ohio recriment with one piece of artillery, and the Ringgold cava! ry, seventy-five in number, under Colone Cantwcll, and four hundred of the Eighth Ohio, under Col. Harke, made au advance from New Creek, on Monday, towards lvomney, and drove the enemy, seven hun drcd strornr, out of Me-;hanicsville gap on the morning of the 24th, and advancing on Romnev stormed the town, causing the enemy, whose force numbered fourteen hundred iu fan try and cavalry, to retreat to the mountains, with a loss of about 35 killed and a large number wounded. Our loss is 3 killed and 10 wounded. JTIunson'g IIIU Occupied. Washington City, Sept. 2G. During the last week it was so frequently reported from day to day that our troops had taken possession of Munson's Hill, that when, lest night, this long expected event took place, it found few believers among those least excited by sensation rumors. A per sonal visit, however, places the fact beyond doubt. The American flag now floats there in place of that of the rebels. Gen. Price's Report. Jefferson City, Sept. 29. General Price's official report, giving a somewhat detailed account of the battle of Lexing ton, has been received. The following arc the closing paragraphs: Our entire loss in this scries of engagements is 25 killed and 72 wonnded. The enemy's loss was much greater. The visible prints of this almost bloodless victory are great. About 3,500 prisoners, among whom are Cols. Mulligan, Marshall. Peabody, White grover, Major Van Horn, and 118 other commissioned officers, five pieces of artil lery and two mortals, and 3,000 stand of infantry arms, a large number of sabres, about 750 horses, many sets of cavalry equipments, wagons, teams, ammunition, more than 8100,000 worth of commissary stores, and a large amount of other prop erty. In addition to all this, I obtained the restoration of the great seal of the State, and the public records which had been stolen from their proper custodian, and about 000,000 in roc-tiey, of which the bank at this place had been robbed, and which I have caused to be returned to it. Col. Vaughan, a prominent citizen of Lexington, who witnessed the entire battle and was at one time a prisoner in the hands of the rebels, asserts positively that fully. 500 of Price's army were killed. The money of which Price says the bank in Lexington had been robbed, is under stood here to have been placed iu Colouel Mulligan's hands for safe keeping. 1 TO THE POLLS! I REISKX OF CAMBRIA!

The New York Tribune vgives the fol lowing interesting information: The number of Volunteers this day in arms for the integrity and perpetuity of the Union must certainly exceed Three Hun dred Thousand, and they are all (in effect) enlisted for the War. We estimate that fully One Hundred Thousand mere will enlist during the months of October and November. Gen. Canerou is eutirely right in forbidding a resort to draft or conscription to swell this proud array. Drafted militia, cannot be expected to evince the energy, enthusiasm, endurance , ... r I- 1 i and persistent courage oi oiumais, while their equipment and support will cost as much as that of the most gallant veterans. And hitherto the Republic has lacked arms for ;ts soldiers rather than soldiers for its arms. We know it has becu ouite frcnerally the case with reirimeuts raised in this quarter, that they were waiting for arms and equipments for days if not weeks after they were ready and eager to take the field. General Fre mont's movements have been sadly paral yzed and impeded by lack of arms. Drill ing for weeks without arms has been a common experience of new regiments throughout the loyal States, and a sad waste of time and capacity this ever must involve. Up to this hour, the deficiency of arms contiuues. But this deficiency is being supplied both by manufacture and importation, so that we shall soon have Four Hundred 1 housand soldiers in tne field, most of whom will have received several mouths' vigorous drilling and been uuder fire. Shall we not then be abb to assume a vigorous offensive ? That there will be some exposure and hardship in a Winter campaign is eertaiu; but our troops will be far better fortified against them by training, warm clothing aud habits of precaution, than the rebels. They will have the best shoes aud socks, warm woolen clothes, including first-rate overcoats, with water-proof tents. They will be constantly supplied with the best Beef, Pork and Bread, in rations larger hau they can eat, and the excess of which they can readily exchange for vegetables and other appetizing diversifications of their substantial fare. " The loyal States are full of Wheat, Corn, Beef, Pork, But ter, Cheese, &c. They command the ocean and the great rivers, and can keep their advancing columns always and amply supplied. The Winters are usually mild, evcu in Eastern Virginia aud Missouri, and will grow milder with every day's ad vance toward Charleston and New Orleans. With their coast thoroughly blockaded, the rebels can hardly increase their sup ply of arms, while their clothing, and still more "their shoes, are sure to grow worse and more deficient. Jf they are ever to be brought to reason, Wiuter would secui to be the time. It is the duty of the Govern ment aud of loyal citizens to terminate this wide-spread wretchedness at the ear liest practicable moment. The daily suf fering from want and derangement caused by this rebellion exceeds iu aggregate volume the agonies of a stoutly contested battlefield. Humanity pleads for the early overthrow and dispersion of the con spirators against our National existence, aud we trust its prayer will be heard and heeded. ITano the Leaders. The Philadel phia Bulletin very sensibly remarks : "We heai complaints everywhere, without a solitary exception in those who peuk of it. among loyal citizens, of the lenity oi the Government towards the rebels. We have captured pirates; prisoners of war; notorious rebels; men ready to rise any moment agaiust the Government; desert ers from our army, and of all the men yet taken, or within the reach of the Govern ment, not an example has 3et been made. They are permitted to take the oath of allegiance, exhorted to be good boys in future, and seut off to plot treasou again. Unless law is upheld by penalty, it is mere advice, and the Government is bro't into contempt. AVe are quick enough at sending to the penitentiary a noor wretch who steals a few dollars, aud we all declare in theory at least, and sometimes in prac tice, that the wilful and deliberate murder er must be hung. We do this because we believe that the majesty of the law muft be upheld. But it will be asked, Would you cause the scaffold to run with blood, as in the French Revolution '! We might very safe ly reply that there is no danger of our Government becoming sanguinary; the danger is all the otherVay. "But we have a definite answer to the question. We would not dicuch the scaffold with gore, but we would hang the leaders. We would hang the captain of every privateer. We would hang Jeff Davis?, if we could catch him. We would take spe cial pleasure iu hanging Floyd, Cobb and Thompson. Especially would wo hang Twiggs as high as Hainan. Of the deserU ing officers from the army, some examples ought undoubtedly to be made. We are either in earnest in this matter, or we are not. If we are in earnest, the people de maud that the Government bhall show it, and that sharply." Drafting in New Youk. letters from the highest military authorities at the Ehuira rendezvous, state that recruit ing goes on so slowly that the Governor of New York will be compelled to draft. An order to that effect will soon be pub lished. Of the necessity of this step there can be but littlequestipn, when it is added that of 25,000 'men recently called for by the Governor, six weeks since, on ly some 7,000 have responded. Tiif.
