Z he Affair at Leesburo.

Oar special telegrapbic correspondent ct
Richmond announces the gratifying intelli-
gence of glorious victory for the Confeder-
ate arms at Leesburg. We hail this. not so
much for its magnitude. but as showing that
our Generals on the Potomac are equal to
the OCCASION Whilst the enemy had thrown
about an hundred thousand men towards
Manassas. and were threatening an immrdi-
ate attack nnr liDos there, he found d
Confederate force some forty miles above TO
Tepulse with success strong division, evi
IDENTIFY designed to operate on our left and
rear. If he had been successful in this. he
would have had manifest advantage in the
general engagement by which it would have
been followed up. Our Generals, however
banked the movement, and gave them a
blow which will, perhaps. delay the main
army, and recall the visions of Bull Run
and Manassas Plains. This action indicates
that We have the power to make them fight
upon ground, as the telegraph stated few
days ago selected by US.

The Legislature have adopted resolu ton
providing for the election OF Senators to the
Congress of the Confederate States to-mor
row, the 24th inst. a humber of gentlemen
are understood TO be caadi dates, amongt them
some of the most eminent in the State, from
each Division. We presume the members Of
the Legislature are impressed with the i'm
pOrtCnce of securing. in the outset of our new
government, the services of the most eompe-
tent and reliable men, and that they will en-
deaVOr to discharge this responsible duty
without fear or favor, and with a desire to
suhserve the public good only. Let US have
the ablest men, without regard to past party
relations, wherever they are to be found. Let
no man be voted for, simply because be is an
active and Industrious eleclioneerer As a
general thing this shonld be regarded as an
objection rather than a source of favor. Off
ces of honor aud distinction, such as these.
should never be made the reward OF a prosti-
tuition of the high AID noble impulses which
forbid the sacrifice of ones self-respect for
the attainment of position. 1t may be regard
ed es honorable to represent great and gio-
riOus commonwealth like Tennessee in the
Senate, but il the honor comes through the
fundamentally of impertunate seeking-by
dragging the robes of ones dignity in the
dirty pools of intrigue and management-it
Il no longer honor, but dehasement. We are
about to initiate new government. Let us

| The AUTHOR OF THE CINCTNSATI PLATFoR,,
on THE USIoN.-The Hon. B T. HaIlett. the

sigued to carry on this War for It's great end.

luily demonstrated that it cannot be done by
force OF arms, belong to no party but the
country. Aud until one of these results ar
| rives 1.-The Democratic party" in my iu1p
ment, has no higher present duty than TO up
hold the Government. The mission of thai
great historical purity of the Uuion is not
ended, aud never can be ended while repob
lican government exists, or the Union is to
o restored but the people have PLACED the
nag 10 ether hands, aGd now the mission of
Democracy is the I Id one, to follow it to VIC

mocrate party-on the land, on the sea. fol-

OF tue Union
In this spirit the Democratic party ala M,
commit Itself TO this war to the utnaost OF it's
means ana Its good faith. No victory has |
been or can be achieved, aud no defeat suf |

blood OF Democrats. The Democratic party
never was and never can be peace party in |

COOP News FROM WAsHINGToN.-Ag entle-
man, in whose clear sighted intelligence and
! sound Judgment we have the utmost conf
| dence, has just returned from Washington,
where be had extraordinary advantages as an
| observer, and assures US that every loyal cit
| izen should be well satisfied with the condi-
| ton of our army and the movements of Nc
| CleIlan. The army has everything demand.
ed to insure its utmost efficiency. and though
not so enormous as some of the letter writers
say it is, is truly a Grand Army McCleI-
Ian being thoroughly scientific soldier and
strategist, is by ne means a rash man, but he
is now on the offensive, and is crowding the
rebels toward their hole at Manassas, adVanc-
ing step by step, and preparing to hold the
ground as he goes. Az every step the forests
are cut down, roads opened, telegraph wires
laid. batteries planted, masked and open,
and powerful supporting columns held ready
for emergencies. In this way the army is be-
coming accustomed to act as a whole. and
subservient to single will. The troops
learn how to move by brigades, aud Brigade
Commanders become accustomed to their
duty Our immense and metchless artillery
force Is ready all the time to do its work
with the rebels. So the rebels are kept
watching and praying. and their boasted
ability to stand siege like that of Sebasto-
pol at Manassas, is likely soon to be tested.
