BAD LUCK TO THEM.-The Tory Dem
ocracy of Ohio, embracing those who
ho~led so frantically against Know-No-
thingism. only FIVE or six years ago, are
now reduced to such strait that they are
eager to unite with all isms and fag ends,
in order to keep up the semblance of an
organization. They placed on their State
ticket, for Lieutenant Governor, the name
of j. Scott Harrison, the head and front
of Ohio Know-Nothingism. But he is
an honorable man, and patriot descend
ed from patriot stock. his grandfather.
Benjamin Harrison, having signed the
Declaration of Independence, and his ia
ther, William Henry Harrison, having
fought the battles of tie country; there
fore. as might have been expected, the
Tories receive a woful humiliation at his
hands. He refuses the nomination, say
ing that he has lost all desire for politi-
cal honor, but that if he craved office ev-
er SO much, he would not accept it from
them. upon the platform they have laid
down. He is for the prosecution of the
war, to the utmost power of the Govern
ment, and for crushing out all traitors,
North and South. Toryism is in bad
repute in Ohio.

A FAIR SPEcMEN.-The reports were
correct that Major Peabody had entered
into compromise with the traitors Of
Holt County. They agreed to do certain
things which it was in his power to com.
pei them to do; while he agreed to what
the traitor Mogul, jeff. Davis. demands
II. 6. to "let them alone" and to per-
NIT their newspaper to "grind," under
certain restrictions. The last number OF
the News is as rabid as any of its prede-
cessors. and the secessionists of Holt are
Matching mischief as busily as ever.
That is what compromise with traitors
amounts to.

SoMETH1So OF INTEREST TO OURsELF.
We have been looking over our books,
and find that we have over $500 due rs
on legal advertising alone-such as Sher-
IFS Sales, Orders of Publication. Ad-
ministrators' Notices, etc.-embracing a
period of only eighteen months past to
say nothing Of considerable amount Tor
advertising previously done. When we
will receive our pay. We know not-the
greater part of it. perhaps. never. One
half, or even one-fourth the above amount,
would be of great service to us at this
time; and We might have it. il the prop
er parties would attend to the matter.
We believe that parties bringing suits are
required to give security for costs; then,
why is it that we have to wait year after
year for our fees? In some instances.
lawyers, Clerks, etc., collect the fees and
pocket them. leaving the printer minus
his dues; while in other cases, the fees
remain unpaid until the end of almost in
terminable lawsuits. We intend shortly
to straighten up our accounts in this line,
and ascertain what fees have been collect.
ed and pocketed, and what remain unpaid.
Those who have collected and used our
money, must fork over, or take the con-
sequences. Legal advertising would be
profitable, if the fees conld be collected
within reasonable length of time; bnt
as it is now done, it is a nuisance. The
time has come when we must have pay
for our labor. To guard against serious
loss, we shall soon be compelled to with.
hold the required affidavit to all legal sd'
vertisements, until the charges are paid
or, if that fails to meet the case, then to
refuse such advertisements. unless they
are accompanied by the fees.

CAMP RoLLA. August, 20. 1856

CANT RoLLA. August. 20. 1861.
w. H. MERRIrr. Lieut.. Col. First Regi-
ment lora Volunteer:
SIR: In the Missouri Republican, Of
the 18th inst, appears a communication
over your signature. which purports to
be Report Of the part taken by the
Iowa troops in the battle of Wilson's
Creek" Your statements in regard to
the part taken by yourself and your troops,
l have no disposition to criticise at this
time; but when you step out Of yoIr way
to make assertions derogatory of the con-
duct of the men of the First Kansas Reg
iment, than whom no troops exhibited
more bravery. nor fought longer or hard
er, as their thinned ranks will abundantly
demonstrate, you shall not go unrebuked.
You say that as you "were advancing to
engage the enemy. you met the Kansas
First retreating in confasion." &c. 1t is
true that considerable body of troops
to whose command the belog, will not.
for obvious reasons, state-did retreat in
great confusion abont the time you were
marching to the front, and it is quite
probable that they 'broke through your
line." as they did through that of the
Kansas First anil Kansas Second; but
your charge that they were Kansas vol.
unteers is false. The LIST Kansas engaged
the enemy at the right of Capt. Totten's
battery for nearly an hour before your
regiment came up, and it maintained its
ground under most terrific FIRE, during
during the whole engagement; and when
given, they marched off in good order.
and your charge to the contrary. is l re-
peat. libel. If you desire it. l will 70.
fer you to gentlemen Of unquestioned va
racity. who will testify as to wha: troops
retreated in confusion; and then, if you
have one spark of the honor of soldier
in your nature, you will promptly correct
the false impression which your hasty re-
port has created.
The consolidated official report of the
killed and wounded, which will be pub
lished in few days by the commanding
officer. will doubtless show the part taken
BY the several regiments engaged in that
battle; and then a candid and impartial
public can judge what troops "were in"
the thickest of the fight, and under the
most CALLING FIRE.
Very respectfully.
Your ob't servant.

gan to rattle about MS like hail, and then
We knew that Col. Sigel had lost his bat

us, for the enemy had hitherto 6red no
grape.
Just now Capt Chenoveth rode to the
right of the Second Kansas. and pointing

thew came, fifteen hundred men. in an un-
broken line. Two 6eld-pieces were
brought to the right and opened upon
them with terrible effect. bat still they
advanced. evidently thinking that the
cannon would prove their prey. Little
they knew of the thousand unainching
men who lay in the grass before them.
They opened terrible fire. but received
no answer save from the artillery. The
bullets whistled, ratified. banged, whirred
over our heads, striking the trees and
bushes two or three feet from the ground.
If our men had stood up. hardly q man
would have been left. At last the order
to fire was given. and such terrific vol
lev as followed was never before heard by
any man on that field. 1t is folly to try
to describe it, or to search for compari-
son. The enemy broke and fed; their
train was seen to be on fire and they in
retreat, but we could not hope to hold the
field with our small force. for they would
not fail to return with overwhelming
numbers. We were therefore ordered to
retire. The Second Kansas Regiment
was the last off the field; wheeling into
column and marching off in perfect order.
We halted about two miles from the
battlefield to wait for strsgglers and col
lect our forces. thinking it hardly posi-.
bic that the enemy would not harass our
rear with his cavalry. of which he had
great numbers. It afterwards proved that
he was glad to bid us final adieu. Our
whole train was brought away in safety.
Thus little army of five Thousand men
rescued an immenes and valuable train
from force more than Eve times its mum.

A SHAME.-Several Of our citizens,
who were at St. Joseph this week, called
at the military camp. to take a look at
the White Cloud boys qnartered there
and they bring rather blue story OF the
appearance of things. The boys have
been in camp five or six weeks, and are
not vet uniformed, nor has there been
any clothing furnished them. They are
extremely dirty and ragged, some Of
them being barefoot. and almost naked.
In this condition. they were compelled
to make the expedition through the upper
Counties. which wore them down consid-
erably; and in this condition they have
been sent to Kansas City. Some Of them
had been sick, and all looked "hard. -
While the soldiers were in this condition.
the officers were taking their ease. They
had a supply Of fine brandies and wines
in their tents, and a majority Of them
were under the influence of liquor mos,
of the time. What can the country ex-
pect Of soldiers, when they are sent into
the field like rag-men and beggars ?
When privates are thus shamefully neg
lected, and the officers are permitted to
spend their time in dissipation. what elst
can be expected than disaster to our ar
mics While Mcclellan is institutine

any part of the State, but not to 60 ont

T The Tory Democracy of Ohio
have caught Tartar in Jewett. their
nominee for Governor. In his letter of
acceptance, he comes down rough-shod
on the Southern traitors. lays all the
blame of the war upon them, and express
ses himself in favor Of putting forth ev-
cry energy of the Government to conquer
them. This is more than the Tory Con-
vention bargained for. If Jewett is in
earnest, he is decidedly out of his place
on that ticket; but if he only aims to
gull voters, he is fooling his time away,
for the ticket which he heads is fated .to
an overwhelming defeat.
