ATTEMPT TO DESTROY REPUBLICAN
FLAG.-At Ocaquan, Va, near Alexan-
dria, in consequence of the Republicans
raising banner bearing the names of Lin
coin and Hamlin, the citizens have attemp-
ted to demolish it. The Republicans re-
sisted, and despatched messengers to
neighboring towns for arms and ammuni-
ton. Gov. Letcher ordered Gen. Hutton
to call out his troops to protect the Re
publicans, but the General preferred re-
signing his command.
At last accounts it was expected the
military of Alexandria would be called out
Ocaquan contains 800 Republicans, and
was the residence of Mr. Underwood, the
ostracised Republican. sAF 9a1
LATER.-The Herald's Washington cor
respondent says, the only additional news
from the Occaquan trouble is the fact that
Gov. Leteher has.cornpelled Gen. Hutton to
order out one company of militia to preserve
the public peace. tits believed, however.
that Hutton's sympathy is with the mob,
and j: is doubtful whether the troops would
FIRE on the mob or the Republicans. Some
officers of the Alexandra militia have left

they would be ordered to Occaquan

just come to light, being that of Major
Sutherland, Quarter Master of the Marine
Corps at Washington. The amount

New York and New Orleans Post Office de-
falcations, makes total of two hundred
and ffty-five thousand dollars stolen from
the Treasury and discovered within the last
two months. Is it not high time that there
was general reform in the Federal offices,
and an honest set of custodians appointed
to take care of the peoples money.

Douglas and Disunion,

There are in the State of Georgia just
two papers, all told, that support Douglas
for the Presidency. One of these is pub
lished at Atlanta, and is called the
Southern Co,yederacy. In late number,
the editor delivers himself of the following
choice bit Of advice to the South:
'But if the worst does come if Lincoln is
elected, let US with one heart and mind forget
the past. and 60 out of the Union together. If
we permit the blacks to come into power, and
allow them to govern US, they will, in four
short years, lnf1lct a mortal sting upon Slavery
from which it will never recover. We must
not permit it."
And yet in the face and eyes of the fact
that Democratic papers and Democratic
politicians, at the South, enjoy complete
monopoly of such Disunion sentiments as
the above, and give uttcrance to them
every day of their lives, the Republican
party is held up here at the North by the
Dem ocracy, as one of a sectional charac-
ter, and as favoring dissolution of the
Union. Where is the Republican editor :;
where is the Republican candidate for any
office ; or where is the man fighting pri-
vately in the Republican ranks, who pro-
poses to Ego out of the Union" in case we
do not succeed in electing Lincoln? There
are none such in existence. Republicans
love their country too well; revere tho
Constitution too highly; and regard the
existence and perpetuity of the Union
with too many feelings of patriotism, to
allow them under any provocation whatev-
er, or in view of any contingency that BY
any possibility may arise, to think for a
moment of the disintegation of these Uni
ted States. All reasonable DESIGNS
against them are entertained solely by our
Democratic opponents. This is the simple
truth of the matter, the assertion of Dem
ocratlc demagogues to the contrary. not
withstanding. y
