The Battle OF Churu husco-.Con.
duet Of south CarOltninus.


From Clairborn's Life Of John A. Quit
man we extract the following regarding
the conduct Of the South CaroliniAns At
the battle Of Churubusco. 1t is well worth
reading; ..... ..t. f..f
Col. Butler of the South Carolinians,
had left his sick bed against the remon-
strances Of his friends to lead the Palmet-
toes to the combat. Early in the engage
ment his horse was shot under him. Soon
after he received painful ound in the
knee, and yielded the comm and to Lieu
tenant Colonel Dickinson. Taking the
Palmetto flag from the hands of Sergeant
Beggs, Dickinson placed himself in front.
and Beegs was Immediately shot down.
Col. Butler now came up to resume the
command, and was killed by the side of
Dickinson, while standing under the flag.
Dickinson himself soon fell mortally
wounded, (he died some weeks afterward,) y
and Major GLADDEN. received it from his
hands and committed it to Lieutenant Bs-
ker, who being unable from debility and
exhaustionto carry it, Major GLADDEN. pla-
ced it in the hands of Patrick Leonard,
and led his regiment to the charge. His
men fell rapidly, but not one wavered.
from first to last, under the concentrated
fire Of the enemy. In the whole history
Of war there has never been more stri-
king example Of Indifference to death, the
result Of stearn resolve. Each man fought
for the honor Of Caroline. Several com
panies were almost annihilated. Some
had not men enough to bury their dead,
or bear their wounded to the ambulances.
The uniforms of some Of the officers were
literally torn from their persons; the color
bearers were shot down, but the flag bath
thed in their blood, was always seized as
they fell and borne to the front. Proudly
it foated through the tempest of death un-
til the victory had been won, and then,
all torn and blood-stained it dropped
over its own glorious dead The regi-
ment entered the battle with two hundred
and seventy;three rank and file, and when
it was over. it mustered one hundred and
sixty. 1t had no missing; the dead and
wounded made up the deficiency.

A PATHETIC SKETcH-A fair young
girl is leaning pensively on the easement,
gazing with thoughtful brow upon the
scene below. The bloom of fifteen sum-
mers tints her cheeks; the sweets of a
thousand flowers are gathered upon her
round Iii e; the curls cling to spotless
brow, and fall upon her neck of perfect
grace; The soft swimming eyes seem light
ed by the tenderest fires of poetry, and
beauty hover over her own most favored
child. What are her thoughts? Love
cannot stir bosom SO young-sorrow
cannot yet have touched spirit SO pure,
innocence itself seems to have chosen her
for its own. Alas! has disappointment
touched that youthful heart? Yes, it
must be so; but hist she starts-her lips

O The Republicans to the mum.
Der ofthirtesn met in the Court House
a few evenings since to organize a
Lincoln Club. A set ofby.laws were
read, in which it was declared that the
object of the Club should be to pro-
mulgate Republican principles, to aiG
in electing Republican candidates aud
clean out the "Court House Rats !"
One of the few present moved to strike
out the "Court House Rats" part,
which was carried, whereupon the Cd
itor of the Journal got mad and said
he wouldn't have anything to do with
the Club. He had always called the
democratic officers "Court House
rats" "and this reputation of that term
by his own friends didn't set well on
his stomach. Mac, by the way, ig-
nores the .fact, that the fattest rats in
the Court House are all Republicans
During the debate, Mr.. II. @. Jones
said lie was in favor of striking out
the "ratS." To insert that in the by
laws, would be lowering the standard
of the party to a petty local and per-
sonal quarrel, and for one he had
"fought his last battle" on that sort of
a platform. The old Navigator, (the
sOi.diSant candidate for Auditory
said he was in favor of a secret organ
igation. The attempt to create an
enthusiasm for Lincoln in this com.
munity is a total failure. There is
nothing in the man, nor in his rails,
nor in any anything about him. to ex-
cite the people to anything but laugh,
ter.

Try, Try Again!

AS usual, the Republican leaders
in this county, knowing their own
weakness, are endeayoring to get some
",Oeak-kneed democrats" as they call
them, to go upon their county ticket
in order to give it strength and res
pectability. We have heard Of two
instances of the kind already, and the
probability is we shall hear of more.
Try again, gentlemen. "Better luck

DISCOVERY OF AN ANCIENT Cry
An interesting discovery, OF which
further particulars will, no doubt,
shortly be given to the scientific
world, has recently been made in
Egypt, in the neighborhood OF the
Great Pyramid, by the celebrated
archeologist, M. Auguste Mariotte.-
It would appear that in tho course of
his exploration, he had lighted on the
Palace Of Chephrem, the King of
Egypt, who is supposed to have been
the constructor Of the Great Pyramid,
and who lived about 5000 years be-
fore Christ. This immense editice,
for the first time rescued from the
sand which buried it entirely, is built
Of solid granite, and seven magnif.
cent colossal statues Of King Pharoah
Chephrem have already been discov-
cred in it, which leads to the belief
that further investigations will bring
forth still more curious and interesting
remains.

The Baltimore Convention.

----0~N
The Baltimore Convention.
This body will meet on Monday
next, and it is to be hoped that its
business will be transacted with that
concord which has formerly prevailed
in Democratic National Conventions.
Never has there been q time in the
history of our government when such
necessity existed for the triumph of
the democracy. We have no fears
that the sectional party called Repub.
lican will triumph before the people,
but 2 course may be pursued at Bal.
timore which will result in throwing
the election into the House of Repre-.
sentatives. The only occurrence Of
this kind under our present Constitu.
ton was in the election Of John @.
Adams, which was palpable viola.
tion ofthe popular will. The cohorts
Of fanaticism-.antislav in the
North and pro.slavery in the South -
are being marshaled against the only
national party of the Union, in the
success of which there is any hope

al Presid ent would result, as we yeri-
ly believe, in the fulfllment OF the
prophecies of Jefferson and Clay
The union of the States would virtu-
ally, if not positively cease. 1t is all
important, therefore, that the action of
the Convention should be character.
lied by that wisdom and moderation
which has seldom torsaken the party
and has always foreshadowed its sue
cess.
We notice that the National Dem
ocrats Of Georgia, ALBANIA and Lou
isiana have elected full delegations
They should by all means be admitted
to the Convention in preference to the
slave code, congressional intervention
lists, who have taken their leave Of the
party by repudiating Democratic prin-
ciples. Let not the moral power Of
the party be injured by admitting those
who are unwilling to abide by its
principles and usages.
Court House RArs.-We do not
know what it was that caused the
origin of this polite term in the prolific
brain of the editor Of the Jour'.a1, un
less it was the frequent going in and
out of the officers. Well, If dodging
in and out of the Court House entities
folks to that sobriquet, our Republican
friends have certainly earned it. We
have never seen more lively time of
travelling up and down the Court
House steps than was witnessed on
Saturday last. The Republicans
held a meeting and appointed dele.
gates to the State Convention, and a
Central Committee. The meeting
then adjourned and left the Central
Committee in secret session. We
don't know what happened, but when
the Committee adjourned, there was
any amount OF caucusing in and
around the Court House. 1t is sup
posed, however, that the Committee
were incubating County ticket, and
that the Matching out thereof, or the
indications oft, were notin accordance
with the wishes of sundry aspirants,
and their friends. We shall see that
when the ticket is thus made by the
, Republican caucus secretly, the candi.
, dates will be announced as "indspen.
ldent." Independent, indeed!

echoes had given notice of the coming Of the
procession. 1t was well served. and was
quite a feature of the occasion.
In the evening, at Z o'clock. the Wide

Weathersfeld e-Awake

We hear of no such enthusiasm among
the people of any other town as is mani
tested by the Republicans of Weathcrsfeld.
Two meetings, have been recently held
there, one at Niles, (Which our correspond
ent II. G., dcscribes,) and one at Mineral
Ridge. The Niles boys have organized a
company of Nide-Awakes, an artillery eom-
pony and a glee Club, and on the Mineral
Ridge, they have an excellent Brass Band.
At the meetings the people Lave turned
out en- masse. At the Niles meeting every
foot of room in the new and large town
hall was crowded till not another person
could Get in, and yet crowds were about
the door. The meeting at the Ridge was
held On Saturday night last and the miners
and furnacemen turned out in such num-
bers that the church which had been en-
gagged for the occasion proved far too small,
and a stand was erected in the open air on
the summit of the ridge opposite Warmers
new furnace. The Wide-Awakes lighted
the stand and the crowd with their torches,
the artillery company reused the country
with 4 grand salute, and the brass band
discoursed martial music in the intervals
of other business. The speakers had the
cleaning light of the furnace just before
them as practical illustration of the home
industry the Republican party pledges
itself to protect, and the village on the
right which has sprung up magically with
in three or four years afforded proof of the
advantage the whole country derives from
the growth of its manufacturers, and the
creation of a home market for its farmers
and mechanics.
When the speeches were ended the boys
lit a tar barrel which they had prepared
for the occasion, and while the flames of the
tar fire roared and the cannon doomed, the
crowd gave round after round of rousing
cheers for Lincoln and Hamlin. Look out
for a good report from that township on
election day.

THE CHEESE TRADE AGAIy.-Few are
aware of the amount of cheese being brought
by our farmers to the warehouse of l.. ].
Randall to this place, and forwarded to New
YORK, or Of the number of dollars expended
therefor. We do not believe that so many
tons of cheese have found a market, this
season, at any other place on the Western
Reserve, if in the State of Ohio. Sixty
tons had been received at the warehouse up
to the 10th, of June last, and $4,000
paid therefor. 1t was again opened about
the Goth of August, since which time two
hundred tens have been received. amount
ing to 100000, and more loads are con-
stantly arriving. Twenty-Five tons have
been received, boxed and forwarded in a
single day. As the warehouse will not be
closed before the 10Th OF November, it is
probable that seven hundred tons of cheese
will be purchased in this place. for trasp T.
