on the day Of the Sabbath School Pic Mic

without needless formality, TO define his

In regard to the recent Democratic

severe in his remarks. That Convention,
he said, was made up Of the corruption OF
the Democratic party, which was purer

its action in the strongest terms. as giving

Washington Again Threatened.

The danger OF an attack upon Wash
ington, or an invasion Of Maryland, seems
imminent. The War Department has
made requisition upon the Governors OF
ten of the Northern States to forward,
without delay, to the Capital all the en-
rolled troops, whether armed, equipped,
or uniformed, or not. The advance OF
the Rebel forces toward the line of the
Potomac prompts. this urgent call for
more men at the seat of war. Our pri.
vate dispatches assure US that Gen, Nc.
Clellan has taken measures TO put stop
TO all intercourse between traitors at the
Capital aud Rebels in the field by way oI
the Lower Potomac. and il is 10 be hoped,
therefore, that the fleet in the Potomac il
! sufficient TO render the transportation o
an army across the river, below Washing,

the Potomac fromsa few miles below Alex

from two and a half TO three miles. II i:

any boats that can be used for the trans
portation Of a large body of troops such a

This be the case, the insurgents may. at

The Union Triumph in Kentucky.

Tho Louisville papers bring accounts of
the Union triumph at the recent election
in Kentucky. In Tho city of Louisville tho
Union candidate for tho legislature was
elected by n unanimous vote. The Journal
comments upon tho general result in tho
following jubilant style:
"Never did a party mike greater and
more determined efforts to carry an election
than tho secessionists of Louisville made to
carry this They resGrted to nil possible
oxpedients for infaming and exas perating
tho public mind. They ondeavored to incite
our people ovon to tho pitch of forcible re.
sistance to the laws. They inverted all
sorts of false issues, and pressed them with
their whole power and ingenuity. Thor
Candidates thought TO disguise thoir real
position, and presented false issues in the
hopo OF doceiving at loast a portion of the
community. They resorIed to appeals, ia
threats, to promises, TO Protestations. Their
organ put forth all its powers OF porsuatio1
appealing alike to all the best and all the
worst passions of human nature. All oi
them seemed to roalizo that their last hope
was staked upon tho conflict. And now
look at tho vOto. Never. noyor was party

tleman, personally acquainted with Carl
bsldi and his son, received letter from
the latter a few days ago. in which the
son says he desired himself to come out
and take a part in the struggle now going
on here for liberty. but that his father OBJ
jected. on the ground that ours was n
family quarrel. and could be settled more
easily without foreign Interference than
with it; that it was based on political
question in which the nations are not in,
teresIed, and in the settlement Of which
they could not become parties. These
are now the views aud sentiments of Gar
ibaldi ms expressed by his son in private
correspondence Of very late dale. We

would accept commission in our service
