rThe proceedings of the Breckin.

~The proceedings of the Breckin-
ridge meeting, held on Saturday week
at the market house, were ordered
published in the New York Day Book,
a pestilent, fanatical paper which de-
rives its support mainly from secession
sympathizers in the North, paper
which no Union Democrat would touch
even with pair of tongs. Aside from
the resolutions adopted, what better
evidence is required of the disunion
tendencies of those who controlled that
meeting? The object of that publica-
tion is doubtless to have its effect in the
overthrow of the Government, to cre-
ate distrust, divide the sentiment of the
North in favor of disunion. Itis asmalI
matter to be sure, but straws indicate
which way the wind blows. No INTEL
ligent Douglas Democrat will be caught
in that Breckinridge trap.

@The gentlemen who have been
selected by Gen. MeClellen to compose
his staff are the most experienced and
skilful military men Of the day. 1t
shows the determination Of the, General
to leave no means untried of securing
success to our arms. Capt. Van Vliet
graduated at West Point in 1910, has
been in active service ever since. He
is now Asst. Quarter Master General.
Major Barnard. chief engineer, is prob
ably the best in the service. He entered
West Point in 1929. He was present
at the battle of Bulls Run.
Capt. Clark, Asst. Commissary Cen
eral, graduated at West Point in 043,
went through the Mexican campaign
and was wounded at Fl Molino. In
1s4s he was. appointed military instruc-
tor Of artillery and cavalry at West
Point. f- f-7-g.i

called BY Gen. NcClellen to his staff.
The above with many others, in the
various branches, equally brave and
meritorious. shows Gen. McClellen's
knowledge of his men. and hereafter. we
need fear no more such disasters as at

The Burning Of Hampton by Col Ma
gruder and his men--Wanton Des-
tructioD Of Property--Full Partieu-
lars. ..
FoRT MONROE, Aug 8.--Hampton
has been burned. Scouts and fugitives
brought word of the approach Of a large
Confederate force from Yorktown
These rumors were confirmed by Eve
P. NJ. by deserter from the rebels, a
native of Maine, but a resident oI
Georgia. He has been stationed at
Yorktown since June /. Friday last
Magruder left Yorktown with force oI
1000 men, including $500 Cavalry
and pieces Of Artillery.
Monday night they camped at Great
Bethel. which was completely deserted;
Tuesday night they advanced toward
Hampton. and at noon yesterday took
up position on Baltic river, some three
miles from the town. He thinks the
object Of the expedition is to draw out
forces; attack Camp Hamilton or New
port News, il practicable, and at least
to destroy Hampton so as TO prevent
their using It for winter quarters.
Gen. Butler at once repaired to this
end Of Hampton bridge, where he re-
mained till II O'Clock.
Col. Weber erected barricade near
the Hampton end Of the bridge, and
placed strong guard at various points
this side Of the creek.
A few minutes past midnight Gen.
cral Magruder, with about 500 rebels.
entered the town and Immediately fred
it. The greater part Of the 500 houses
were built with wood, and no rain hav-
ing fallen lately, strong south wind
soon produced a terrible conAagration.
There were. perhaps, twenty white peo-
pie and double that number Of negroes
remaining in the town, from inability to
move, some Of whose houses were fred
without waking the inmates. Several
of the whites and also the negroes were
hurried away to be pressed into the
rebel service. A company Of rebels at
tempted to force the passage Of the
bridge but were repulsed with loss Of
three killed and six wounded. The
fire ragged sllsnight. The rebels with
drew toward morning, and at noon to-
day when visited at the place, but
seven or eight buildings were left stand
ing. Gen. Msgruder has eneamped
near New Market bridge. He will
hardly venture to attack Newport
News.
Mayhem, the deserter. says there
have been about seven thousand rebel
troops stationed at Yorktown. and some
ten days ago a battalion came down to
the outskirts Of Hampton and carried
away lS0 negroes. Provisions were

SPRIEeFIELD. Aug. 3. 1861.
EDIToRs Missouri DExocRAr: Anoth-
er battle has been fought in the South
west. preliminary to a general engage
ment which is momenlarily expected.
On Friday, the ed inst, Gen. Lyon,
hearing that Ben. Mccullough and his
Southern hordes were approaching 10
give him battle, ordered his men under
arms and marched out to meet him
On approaching a ravine known as
Dug's Spring. the enemy was discover
ed in large force and marshaled in battle
array. Our force was 5000, that Of
Ben. Mccullough $4,000. The en-
gagement was opened by Lyons sriil-
lery, which was promptly replied to BY
the enemy.
After some hard lighting. in which
the artillery Of Lyon proved its superi.
ority. the enemy retreated with loss
Of forty killed and forty four wounded.
Our loss is eight killed ard thirty
wounded. We took eighty stand OF
arms. fifteen horses and wagons, and
other trophies.
The advantages Of cavalry were ex-
hibited in this contest. During the en-
gagement, small 81 uads Of dragons
made sudden charge upon a column
Of the enemy. numbering some 1000.
The suddenness Of the onset created a
stampede among the infantry. and our
boys cut their way through them, and
came back with the loss Of Eve of their
number. Upon examining the dead,
several OF their heads were found cloven
entirely through.
The enemy retired some miles during
the night. and Lyon took possession oI
the field. F"' fj

~The Democratic State Conven-
tion met at Columbus on the 9th inst,
and nominated H. P. JEwETr Of Zanes-
vile, for Governor, and JKo. Scorr
HARRISON for Lieus. Goyernar.
j The delegates from the Southern por-
ton Of the State were in favor of one
Bill Allen, inasmuch as Vallandigham' S
chances looked so very slim, as not to
be worth mentioning. We are inform
ed by persons who were present, in the
city of Columbus, that the Secession
principles OF the delegates from South
ern Ohio, were loudly promulgated,
and resembled what may be supposed
street talk in Richmond or Charleston
more than loyal city of the free State
of Ohio. 1t is not surprising, when
we read the resolutions of the Democ-
racy of Butler county on Sd August,
or even of the so-caIled Democracy of
Gallia county, held at the market house
in Gallipolis, on the same day. An
article in the Hamilton Telegraph,
which we publish in another place.
shows the infamous resolutions to be
the work OF the Breckinridge Demo-
Gratis Of that county. All who know the
men engaged in getting up that conven-
tion and passing those resolutions, know
just where they stand, and that the hon.
est. Union loving Democracy Of Gallia
county scorn and despise such Infamous
attempts to pander to JEFF Davis re-
bellion. They are determined to be
bound by no such resolutions, nor to
be guided by no such traitors. They
have yet fresh in their memory the
defeat of Douglas, brought about as
they now well know by the Breckin-
ridge disunionists, with whom it is not
at all difficult to connect the leaders Of
that meeting.
We hoped the Columbus Convention
would have swallowed at least some Of
the resolutions. But the old hacks of
the party smelt very large "mice"
therein, and well knowing this cam
paign would politically wipe out every
traitor. they have placed as little on
record as possible, and left the South
ern secessionists without a plank to
stand upon. The attempt to ring in
the fragments of the American party,
through the nomination Of John Scott
Harrison. is only an evidence that they
feel that the day of their dissolution, as
a party, is at hand. That the great
and unterri6ed 10000 Democrats Of
Ohio should thus seek the aid OF that
party which they once stigmalized by
every epithet which party rancor could
devise. is proof that as party they are
tottering. tumbling down. 1t is also
eminently fitting that the party who 90
years ago published Gen. Harrison as a
granny, coward. and indeed exhaust
ed the billingsgate of political slang. in
attempting to defeat him for the candi-
date for the Office Of Lieut.. Governor
of Ohio.
The propriety of Mr.. Harrison ac-
cepting it is another question, but as
the people will settle the matter By
electing man Of their own choice, and
allowing bim-to stay at home, further
unnecessary. To have had
Bill Allen on the ticket with Harrison,
considering the course Of the said Allen
go years since toward his father, would
have presented such political picture
as is rarely seen.
