We clip the following Horn what purports to be an editorial in (he lust number of the Republican, which shows where that gentle man stands on the nigger question and ex hibits great ingenuity in excusing ami gloss ing over the treasonable practices of his co workers and fellow conspirators in the r at tempts to break down the safe guards of the constitution, which lie frankly admits some of the more zealous have "cursed" with 'good impulses," though " indiscreetly." " All who believe in the Declaration of In dependence—all who believe in pine Chris tianity are Abolitionists. '1 hey believe nto oe'lheir duty i< agitate for the immediate abolition of slavery. They have in limited numbers cursed the Constitution. Some of them have been willing to see the country divided, rather than see the free Stales sad dled with any responsibility for slavery.— But these men have been few and powerless. Their zeal has outrun tin ir discretion, and their discretion h is des'myed tiieir influence ; but their impulses were good, and they have only loved the nigger " not wisely but too well." But answer us, where are the Abo litionists to-day ? Almost all of them are supporting the Government." Again. " The army which is engaged in fighting Ihe ha! ties of the country, and pouring out its btnod like water, is more than halfuboli lionized to day. by what it has learned oj slavery during the war." HAS IT COME TO THIS. Unless the si ives are give i to understand and that speedily, that the Union wants their services enough to give thein liberty therefor, then the rebellion cau never be put down.— N. Y. Tribune. Has it come to this ? Does the fate of this Nation hang suspended on the aciion of the negro staves of the South ? If so we can only 6JV God save the country. But it is not true. Ths assertion of the Tribune is a lying one—calculated t* discourage enlistments and give aid and e.invfbrf te fhe rebels.

DEPARTURE OF INGHAM'S COMPANY. By far the largest gathering *e eter at Factoryville, was on the departure of the company of volunteers raised in this county, on Thursday last. The affectionate wife, t Ie aged parctits, kind stottrs and larothers, and tender children were there assembled to invoke the Weepings and protection of Heav en upon and grasp, perhaps for the idst time, the hands of their husbands, soils, brother and fathers who were about to leave them and try the fortunes of grim visaged war. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed and enlistments were made up to the last mo ment before starting. Some, it was said went whose HaMes were not yet upon the rolls. At the appointed time two cars which had been sent from Scranton arrived, and were filled up, and the train moved off with more than one hundred of the sturdy sons of Wyoming, with beans beating high with pa triotism, amid the waving of handkerchiefs, the heaii ig of drums, hearty good byes, and loud huzzahs. All along the road the peo ple caught the enthusiasm, and fair hands waved snowy handkerchiefs, as the train moved on in its southward course. Arriv ing at Scranton, the company was drawn up i.i line and headed by Lieut. Rice of the 57th, marched up to the Wyoming House, with drums beating and colors flying. There not being sufficient accomodations at that house for the whole company, part of them were taken to the Forest House. On the depart ure of the G o'ch ck train in the morning they again took the cars add were off for " DlXie." The followln is a list of the names on the rolls cop ed by us at Scranton. Some er rors or omissions may exist which we will be happy to correct at any time when atten tion is called to them. MUSTER ROlifj OF VOLUNTEERS from Wyoming County. Recruited by Capt. S. W. Ingham.

'flu. Abolitionist if possessed of any true philan thropy, would begin to consider now whether this unfriendly sentiment so rapidly changing from prejudice to positive hate, in its effect upon the free blacks of the Narth, is not likely t<> outweigh all the advantages to be derived from an anti-slavry crusade. Nnt only is the insolence of the free black now becoming more offensive, but the feeling of jealousy which begins to pervade the laboring classes, from the fear of negro competition, forms an element destined to opt rate henceforth with unwonted |>ower. The Abolitionists, appa rently, are m this way forging a weapon that may recoil on their own heads with stunning effect, and involve them, and the unfortunate objects of their labors in ruin.—Constitution al Union. BEECIIER ON TIIE ADMINISTRATION On our outside will be found Becclitrs re flections on the Administration; his abuse uf McOlellan, and praise of his abolition beau ideal Fremont. We differ with the ReV. nig ger w irshippcr on these points, vet, there are true idf-as expressed where he writes concern ing the restrictions npon the press, an 1 lack of truthfulness upon the part of ihe public recorders when giving accounts of the opera tions of the enemy. We want every reader to peruse this article of Botcher they will find much to commend outside of the Aboli tion sentiment running thr nigh its Imes. As he is a radical of the darkest hue, we most, therefore, make every allowance, not expect ing to find only here and there a political grain worthy of preservation. POLITICAL ARREST— The editor* of the Pa triot and Union, recently prosecuted the edit ors of the Ilarrioburg Telegraph, for libel, and were immediately singled out by Republicans of that city for arrest. They were Democrats, in favor of the Constitution and the Union,--in favor of the war, and have done all in their power to put down rebellion, ami to maintain the Constitution and the freedom of tiie peo ple. A handbill issued by the buys of their office, as a burlesque upon negro enlistments, of which the editors "knew nothing, is said to be the catrse'of their arrest.

Bayard, of McDuwell's Corps, with his Car air}' Brigade, hail been engaged the day be fore, in the extreme advance, near the Rapi dan River, skirmishing and manoeuvring, tak ing some prisoners, and ending with loss, baffling the efforts of a large force to surround and cut them off. Yesteidiy morning he was engaged for some horns before Gen Banks cani_' up, and with four regiments of cavalry, the First Pennsylvania, First Maine and Firat Rhode Island, delayed and etcbarassed the enemy 1 * advance. The rebels, unker Jackson and Ewell, had crossed the Rapidan in force, and their ad vance guard, 15,000 strong, was attacked by Gi-n. Banks, yesterday afternoon, about six miles south of Culpepper Court house, The fight was almost wholly with artille ry at first, but the infantry became engaged about G o'clock, and a determined and bloody contest followed. Gen. Banks' right wing, under Gen. Wil liams suffered severely. The rebel position was in the wood*, while the troops which attacked them VrvYt' oblig ed to cross open ground. It was not till about G o'clock that it be came evident the rebels Were attacking in. force. Previously to that there had been a rather desultory cannonade. The whole reb el force suddenly attacked in overwhelming numbers at all points. Neaily all their regiments had full ranks. At o'clock Gen. Pope arrived on the field from Culpepper, accompanied by Gen. McDowell, with part of McDowell's ccpf; The battle was substantially oyer—Gen. Banks holding the sarne ground that he oc cupied at the beginning. After the arrival of Gen. Pope there was ar arti'lery contest, continuing at intervals till nearly 12 o'clock. The night was unus ually clear, and the moon full. The rebels planted a battery against McDowell's where Gen. Pope and Gen. Banks were bringing both of them under the fire. The Generals and their Staffs were so near the rebel lines, being actually in front of their j own lines, that a sudden charge of rebel caf ' airy was made from the woods a quarter of B ! mile off. apparently with a view to capture 1 them. The attempt was repelled by a vigor j oUs fire fr ml M;D c,veil's troops, and the 1 Generals aiid their Staffs left the g ound un der a cross-fire from the rebels and their I own troops.

Accounts from Culpepper represent the enemy's estimated foFC3 engaged at twenty thousand, and our own, exclusive of cavalry and artillery, ts not exceeding seven thousand. The number of regulars wounded, is large, hot the wounds are generally slight. The number of killed is small. On Saturday night the teernstrrs lit tfieir fires, causing the enemy to shell our new po sition for two hours, with considerable effect, Yesterday morning the enemy was aot in sight on our front, but the indications wertf that they were reinforced on Saturday night, and were attempting to Hank our pesitiotr.

CULPEPPER COURT HOUSE, Va., Aug. 11 The enemy, this morning, sent in a flag of truce, asking pefmissfon to bury their' dead on the field of battle now in our possession. This shows that with all their superiority they were too badly cut up to maintain their position, and that their falling back yester day was froar necessity, not choice.
