From THE FIFTH REGIMENT

FROM THE Firth REGIMENT-A
letter dated Scamp Advance" Sept. IS,
from our friend Late Buck, says: We
had a little fur with the Seoesh day be-
fore yesterday. Our engineers were
out surveying site for fort about six
miles from Chain Bridge and two from
our camp. They had with them 5 or 6
companies of the 5th Yer. and 10Th
Ind, regiments. Having completed
their survey they were resting them
selves, when they were routed by
about $4,000 rebels. The introduction
with which they We're greeted was the
whIzzlng Of bullet which passed in
conveniently close to the heads Of some.
They instantly formed line of battle.
In ten minutes our whole camp was in
motion, which consisted of the 18th
Wis, 10th n. Y, I'd or 81 Ind. reos.,
one Vt, one Penn, 800 cavalry, and
company of artillery, in all about 5000.
" met them driving in our men, but
the scale soon turned.-Our bic guns
began to thunder and the sharp crack
ing OF the rifles of our advance infan-
try was almost deafening. The enemy
had the advantage in the location, SO
that we could not touch them with our
small arms. III vain [ waited for &
chance to shoot; but our artillery play
ed the deuce with them. One of the
West Point battery, 32-pounder,
knocked one Of their guns "out Of
time"
Their batteries were soon silenced.
and it would have done you good to see
their cavalry come to Limerick when
one of the L. S. bulldogs spoke to
them. 1t emptied twenty saddles at
one round, when they thought best to
take to the woods. AS cur forces were
insufficient to follow, we returned to
camp. Our loss was six killed and
twelve wounded. [ have not learned
what damage we done the enemy, but
it must have been considerable, as our
shells told well every time. Our boys
were as calm as if walking to dinner
The Rapids boys are all weIl.'

my at Chapmanville under Col. J. Lu-
Glen Davis, of Green Bryan, and utter
ly routed them. The enemy lost be-
tween so and so killed. Our loss was
four killed. The expedition returned
to Charleston on the 30th alt
Jefferson City, Oct. 2.-Gen. Ere
mont continues actively occupied, and
the various division commanders have
had interviews with him to-day. His
programme is said by those in his con-
hdence to be excellent in every partic-
ular, and to have met the approval of
all the military authorities to whom he
has disclosed it. Since his arrival
here, confidence in the Federal cause
has greatly increased, and it is now
said that before the end of the month.
Missouri will be purged of her secess-
ion forces.
St. Louis, Oct. 3-Thc Republican
learns that letter has been received
here from New Orleans, date not
known, stating that fleet of 70 yes
sells, large and small, was then coming
up the Balize to attack that city.
The report that Jim Lane left Kan
sas City and marched to the Platte
and routed Parsons, with 1000 men, is
confirmed, by q dispatch to Gen. Ere
mont.
Scouts have arrived at Jefferson City
from Osceola, and report Ben. McCui-
loch there a few DAYS since with 10000
men. He was moving northward.
Col. Mulligan refuses his parole, be-
lleving he will soon be released by
brave Union soldiers.
y dispatch dated Washington, Oct.
I'd, states that Fremont has been de-
prlved of his command and ordered t.
report himself for trial by courtmar-
tlal that Gen. Wool was ordered to su
perccde him, and that Gen. Mansfield
was on his way to Fortress Monroe to
supercede Gen. Wool. The following
dispatch dissipates 4 portion of the
report:
Washington, Oct. 3.-Rumors be-
ing prevalent involving military char
ges, 1t is ascertaiued on inquiry at the
" ar department that no order has
been issued to Major General Fremont
TO report for trial by court martial.
IT is true that Gen. Mansfield has
been appointed to the command of
Fortress Monroe, but Gen. Wool,
whom he supcrcedes. has been assion-
ed to no other at present.

~ Several dancing girls were late
ly burned to death at q theatre in
Philadelphia. Shakepeare's "Tem-
pest" was being performed, and while
the girls were in their dressing room
the light gauzy dress Of one Of them
caught fire from a gas jet and the
flames were communicated to the dress
es Of the others. Seven have already
died from this distressing accident,
and among the number are two sisters
of the Gale family. They were beau
tltul young women. Two Of their sis
tiers are recovering from severe burns
received at the same time. While the
young women were writing in the ao-
onies of death with their rich attire
mostly consumed, and while others en-
veioped in flames were rushing franti-
calIy around, the sccue was terrible
beyond description.

Tie Union Ticket.

lnasmuch rs the prominent politi-
clans and political presses of this State
have all along professcd to ignore par
ty ties, and counseled the oblteration
OF party strife. during the tendency of
the war, it seems to us incumbent on
them to give practically to their pro-
LESSONS by extending support to the
nominations made by the Union Con
ventlon-composcd, as it was, of men
of all political parties. Entertaining
tins view Of the duty Of all patriots
men who really desire unanimous SUP
port OF the present administration in q
vigorous prosecution Of the war. more
than the enjoyment OF Spoils and place
We place at the masthead the whole
Union Ticket, in the confident belief
that it will succeed. We believe the
time has arrived when tie 22e0pzc real
ly desire to rid themselves Of political
trickstcrs and mountebanks Of all par
ties, and to institute a new order of
things. We know they are honest, and
Che Influence of politicians in shaping
their action is being lesscned dav by
day. 1t is for them to say whether
they will support candidates for State
officers who are nominated by partizan
conventions. AS one of them, qce aci7L
not. In these times, we want no polit-
ical chickering's.
One word as to our hesitancy to sup
port Mr. Harvey for Governor. That
he is both honest and capable, we new
er doubted. But always remaining in
the Southern part of the State, as the
present Governor has done, we we're
afraid, like him, he would forget that
the Northern portion was contributing
It's full quota of privates III the army.
Under the present order Of affairs at
Madison, when an application is made
for reglmental appointment, it would
seem that location is the question pri-
rarily to be considered, instead of
qualification. We believe ell the reg
mental officers have been taken from
places south Of Fox River, and about
thrce-fourths Of them from the counties
Of Dane and Milwaukee.
Had we been assured shat the north
crn and central portions of the State
could have been heard in these matters,
by the new candidate for Governor, we
should have endorsed him gladly and
promptly. We now do so, with the
hope that he has few friends to reward
as such; bat that he will give place to
capable men, whether from Dane or
Wood-from Pierce OF Shebovgan.

HE SITUATION IN NIssoURI.-A
writer in the St. Louis Democrat of
W ednesday says that as soon as it was
apparent that Price intended to march
on Lexington every exertion was made
to reinforce him. Sturges, with 1000
men arrived in time on the opposite
side Of the river but the ferry boats col
lected under the guns of the fort to af-
ford them passage had fallen into the
hands Of the enemy. F'Lanc with a
force Of over 5000 men, pressed on
with all the yigor possible from the
Southwest. Smith with force Of 900
hurried down from St. Joseph; and JEFF:
Davis "a federal officer) had orders to
break through the enemy's lines, and
hurry on from Georgetown without
transportation, with q force of over
1000 men. Besides these, two boats
with guns and over q thousand men,
went up the river in order to destroy
the masked batteries which lined its
banks. In fact such is the disposition
Of the federal troops at this moment.
