Aftcr tho Volunteers.

A correspondent of the Crisis, who signs
himself "a jackson County Democrat" at
tho conclusion of most impotent article,
full of misrepresentation and falsehood rs
well as bitterness and spleen, has the fol-
lowing burst, Thank God, there is yet a
Democratic party. And though tho war
shriekers, taking advantage of the martial
spirit of our couatrgnaen have overwhelmed
1t for the time Nth the darkness of .fandt-
icisn,, DC" The Democrats who have vol
unteered and gone forth with their lives in
their hands TO fight for the Union, and
those who have cheercd and encouraged
them in so doing, shave overwhelmed it
(tho Democratic party) for the time with
the darkness Of fanaticisim" In other
words they ceased to be Democrats by so
doing! How will patriots in deed and in
truth relish such equivocal and back-handed
complimentsi How will they receive them !
Are such covert charges needful to get a
party on its legs at the present crisis Let
the people ponder San. Register.

ArmY CORRESPONDENCE.



We are permitted to publish the following ex-
tracts from a letter received by Mr.. Q. 0. Til
lotson from Lieutenant in one OF the Fremont
companies. 1t gives the gratifying news that
our boys are all well:
GRAFTON, VA, jury 18th, 1861.
DEAR Sm.--We are stopping at present in
the notorious village of Grafton, place about
the size of Clyde Our regiment has been di-
vded, Col DePuy taking six companies with
him, has gone on to place called Clarksburg,
leaving three companies including the two Ere
mont companies here in charge of Lieut. G. A.
Park. We arrived here about two o'clock on
Thursday morning, and have been very busy
ever since. Capt. Tillotson in company with
Gen. Hill, who is in command Of this post, went
on toward the seat of war some 40 miles this
morning and returned this evening. The rebels
burned two bridges on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad some 10 miles east ofhere this morning
As for the news you have every thing that
happens nearly as soon os we do here. The
health of the companies is very good, and th'
boys are spelling for fight l may say tha
pennng lot ofmen up for two or three months
and keep talking fight into them all the tint
does not decrease the animal propensity in The
least, By drilling you can make men walk W
to battery with all the GOODNESS Of going t.
their meals. Respectfully yours, O. NJ. F.

Gov. DennisOn.

Owing to the several facts that many of
the volunteers composing the 2Sd, oath,
25th and 26th Regiments, now at Camp
Chase, are really in want of wearing ap-
parcl, and the Federal authorities have
been very tardy in furnishing uniforms
which should have been done long since,
Gov. Dennison decided to wait no longer
for them to act in the premises, and con-
cluded to uniform them himself. Accord
ingly, large quantities of State clothing
were sent to the camp last evening, and,
Notwithstanding tho inclemency oftho wealth
er and his Excelloncy's worn-out state Of
health, he has spent nearly tho entire day
in camp experimenting the distribution Of
uniforms. The gallant soldiers were severe,
ly" pleased with this marked consideration
from headquarters, and during the day
many hearty cheer went up for the Gov.
ernor, as the companies marched back to
quarters with their ''store clothes Capi

Tho Position of France.

The article published in tho Moniteu-
and Pdtrie, in relation to the recognition Of
the Southern Confederacy by France, has
excited much comment in this country
Here is something which shows that the
temporary alarm which it occasioned was
quite unnecessary. We copy from the Paris
correspondent of the Boston Post:
"Seccssiou will perhaps gather hope from few line.
at the close OF article italy, published in the Par
Pdris and copied into the MOHiteUr of Sunday last &c
the effect that the Great European Powers will recognize
the Republic Of the Southern States when that Re
public shall have constituted Government founded

than Cabinet Minister Of the Emperor declaring tn

This important statement is confirmed
by advices received at the State Depart
ment at Washington.

Gen. Harney.

A correspondent at Clay Grove, Mo-,
asks us to inform him why Gen. Harncy
was superseded in the command Of the de-
partment Of the West, and where he is
posted at. To the first point of the in
quiry we are unable to give a satisfactory
answer, none Of the reasons for Gen. Har-
ney's supersession having been made pub
lie. To the second VIC reply that the dis
tinguished soldier is in St. Louis, and has
been here for the past two months. We
are glad to state, in addition, that there is
a strong probability of his being shortly as
snged to an important command in active
seryice.-St. Louis NeUs.

An American residing in London con-
eludes letter to Chas. G. Greene, Esq,
the editor of the Boston Post, in words as
follows. When it is remembered that the
writer and the person addressed have been
lifelong and active Democrats, the words
havo special significance
Iwish could put every man in the North
only one week in England. He would then
% home-every man-resolved that, cost
what it might of blood, and treasure, and
time, there should be no cessation Of con-
stantly -intcnsifying power bearing down up
on this rebellion, till every breathing soul
and every rod of ground within what now
are, or ever were, or ever will be, the United
Slatos, recognized the flag of the Union as
the only banner Of sovereignty. Nothing
else will do Nothing can cost too much,
"All that man hath will he give for his
life," and to part with tho smallest member
Of your body-poltic is to infest tho whole
with gangrcne. You are struggling for
your national life. Millions in Europe
know it, and if you abato one tithe of hair
from accomplishing all TO which you are
entitled, your power to impart courage to
them, or fear to their masters, is lost for
ever. Don't reason. Don't temporizc.-
Don't listen to suggestions of compromise.
The time for these is past. Upon absolute
and unconditional surrender to tho Consti-
tuition as it is, can the honor of tho Young
Hercules of tho Western World ever again
stand erect. Itisnot the people / am afraid
of. 1t is wealth and power that fear
Let the vor popuG be the vor Del, till eve
ry smoldering cinder Of rebellion is trodder

NORTHERN BApooNs AND CowARps.-l


NORTHERN BABooNs AND CowARDs.--A
correspondent of the N. Y. Times at Fort
ress Monroe writes:
Monday night company of Col. Bendix'c
regiment, at Newport News, went to Little
Bethel, on scouting expedition. They
came upon picket guard Of the rebels and
broke it in-the men taking nothing with
them in their fight but their guns, leaving
their coats, etc, which with their contents,
wero brought 10 camp. In the pockets were
sundry letters--one being addressed by a
gallant youth in the Secession army to a
lady in Richmond. In it he told Miss
Clara--that the Northern troops were
more like balloons than men, and were all
towards. The captor intends TO enclose
the letter to the lady, adding, for her in
formation, that her lover ran away from the
cowardly baboons of whom he speaks.

The Ohio Statesman publishes letter from
q. Volney Dorsey, well known and influential
Democrat, opposing the movement looking to
distracting the attention of the people of Ohio
this fall by partisan contest. The following
passage contains the nub of the matter:
There is not in Ohio of any party, worthy to
belong political party, who is not ready to uphold
the General Governmentin in all the efforts which II has
made may hereafter make to support the Constitution
and the Union Of these States, and although Demo-
Gratis opposed Republican friends in the elevation
Of the present Administration to power still recognize
in its head the Supreme Executive Of country and
extend to It hearest aid in all its efforts to
the country from impending destruction.
Now 1t is evident to any who at all reflects the
crisis that all former political issues must for the
present be laid aside for time at least be merged
in important considerations and the energies Of the
whole people State must be bent to the support and
preservation of the General Government. IT. then, all
agree this point where then is the necessity Of sperate
nolit cal

seoessIonIsts I'm Congress.

Colonel Forney writes from Washington
to the Philadelphia Press
Have you ever thought wha, would be-
come Of any man who in tho convention Of
southern traitors should rise and denounceI
the policy Of Jefferson Davis, and avow his
determination to embarrass the operations
Of the traitors army? How long would
such Independence be tolerated, or be per
milted to 90 unpunishedl In the Ameri-
can Congress men are TO be found who not
only sympathize with secession, but boldly
avow their determination to resist the prepa-
rations for the defense of the government
and the Constitution, and to refuse TO sanct-
ion the course which the President was
about to take in the premises.
1t is startling commentary upon such
conduct that the secessionists in tho present
Congress insist upon being permitted to
attack the Union, even when they know
that tho Richmond Convention expelled al
most unanimously every member of that
body who had taken ground against seces-
sion, and were standing forth in Western
| Virginia, and in other parts of the state, as
| champions Of the stars and stripes. That
there arc patriotic, unconditional Union men
from the South in the present Congress, is
true. ] do not believe that Mr.. Crittenden
is willing to endorse Mr.. Burnett's course
and l am quite sure that such representa-
tives as Jackson and Dunlap, from the same
state, will be found uureservedy in favor oi
maintaining the government at all hazards
So with the entire delegation from Virginia
and so Of all the members but ono from
Maryland and one from Missouri. Yor
will perceive, thefore, that the discomfort
in the House will soon be reduced to pow
less minority.

Some Of the allies of Treason in tho
North are scandalized at tho bare sugges-
tion of making the Rebels pay the expens-
cs of the war they have forced upon the
country. But they have no curses to be-
stow upon those who make it felony for
Southern men to pay their honest debts to
Northern creditors. They virtuously shud-
der at the idea of confscation as applied to
men in arms against the Government, but
see no impropriety in confscation of debts
due to loyal mon in the North. So, much
depends upon whose OK is gored
