DaussrOu. Position Ct the Ohio Regiments

Dangerous Position CT the Ohio REGIMENTS.
A Washington correspondent Of the n.
Y. Tribune says:
Since last Monday the two Connecticut
and two Ohio regiments have been stationed
within a mile Of each other, in positions Pc
culiarly d-isadvantRgsous to themselves and
favorable for attack. They have been sepsr-
ate by a space Of eight miles in one direytion
and at least four miles in another, from the
rest Of our forces. There has not even 6een
a line Of pickets TO preserve communication
with the main body, in either direction. Be
You'd and in front of them, at a distance OF
three or four miles, the enemy is known to
have been arrayed, although in what force
we have not yet LEANED. Sometimes it has
been declared formidable, sometimes con-
temDtible, but our pickets have not succeed
ed in gathering any !, formation sufficiently
accurate TO be valuable. The impression
scenes TO have been among our officers, that
a moderate corps, about equal to ours in hum
Der but better provided with artillery and
cavalry, was posted at Vienna, and that a
much larger body was conveniently at hand,
10 the neighbOrhool Of Fairfax Courthouse,
or otherwise within G call. Now, il this
we're really the case, and there appears to be
no reason for doubling its probability, it has
only needed q fair amount of bravery and a
very ordinary species Of generalshiP, to hem
in our insulated force and overthrow it. 1t
is true that the achievement would work no
permanent benefit to the Febels, but it would
be of great moral service, ana stand them in
the stead Of a good, sound, overwhelming
victory. II they gather so much comfort
from a Bethel or Vienna, an event like tina!
which might have occurred here would haVs
been to them a well spring Of everlasting
hone.

In the Weekly Herald Of June 22a, l
observed al article over the initials ot"W.
L. s." claiming great credit for military
movements at Ohagrin Falls.
The author Of the srticle would have us
believe that the citizens of Chsgrin Falls
should hav, full credit for all the merisOriOus
things enumerated-some Of which never
occurred atall, others were performed by the
citizens Of the place, and a good part by the
citizens of Geauga county for which not the
lasst credit Is given.
The citizens o. the place have acted nobly
in the present strugg.s, for which oil que
praise should be rendered, but instead OF
furnishing eighty men for the three years
service as the writer informs US, they tur-
nished but eight before the last enrolment.
The thirteen large cheese which the
article informs us we1e contributed by the
inhabitants Of Chagrin, were all, or nearly
all, furnishedby the citizens OF Geauga county
who feel injured by the gross misrepresenta-
ton of the writer OF TIRE Herald article. we
who reside 10 the rural districtOf old Geauga,
where cheese at present is loyal currency, dc
not wish to gloat ever our benevolencel
while TO Us not even common honesty Il
awarded. ,
We do not often get into "the papers,
| either with cheese or other trumpery, buI
| when we do, We come square up to the MARI
with three cheers for the Uuion and the con
/ stitution. $40 IS. JUsTICB.

GEN. ScoTT AS A CANPAIGNER.-Do not some of us little forget the character of the man who commands the United States armies? The secessonists, and even some of the nations over the water, undestand him better. One of the London journals. not many weeks ago, remark ed that Gen. Scott is proverbially slow con- mander. He is always unpopular during his campaigns. It is only when the campaign is over, and he has won--as he always has done-- that the wisdom of his action is understood and he becomes popular" Higher praise could not well have been bestowed upon any commander for the parallel is an exact one with that pald the Duke of Wellington. He was always a slow coach--an old fogy. He never seemed to be doing anything. But he never seemed to be doing anything. But he always won. In the end he was always worshipped. At Torres We. dras, in the Peninsular war, Wellington could have cut the French armies to pieces in a few hours. with the loss of half his own. He wait ed, mannuvered, and secured advantages for a week, and he obtained 8 much more decisive victory, with a loss that scarcely figured in the bulletin. Scott could have taken Vera Cruz iu three days, with the loss of three thousand men he took it in three weeks, and lost but a hun dred or two,

THE ForRTn CONNECTICUT REGINENT.-i'he Columbia, Pa, Spy gives an interesting account of the arrival of this Regiment at Columbia and narrates the particulars of the accident to Geo. Barrett.
 The Spy says the men are generally young well clothed. completely equipped, and models of gentlemanly behavior. The train stopped at the lower end of the town and the men, whn had had no regular meal since leaving home were off the cars in numbers obtaining such re treatments as were fref ly proffrred by the citi zens of the neiehborhood. When the hind most train started one of the volunteers. George Barrett. of Company IT, in enleavoring to re- gain his place missed the railing he aimed to grasp and fell between two of the cars Several of the hinder cars passed over his legs cutting and crushing them badly below the knees He was also struck in the side and se- verely injured internally The injured man Was removed to comfortable quarters. and was at tended, by the surgeons of the regiment and by Drs. HOttenstein and Rruner of Columbia. Eve " thing possible was done to alleviate his suffer ing during the half hour that he lived. The train necessarily passed on in few minutes Colonel Woodhouse leaving two con- radcs with the dyIng man. Before leaving him the Chaplain of the regiment. Rev. Edward A Walker. made an affecting prayer.
 As soon as the accident became known the borough authorities took measures for the prop CT disposition of the body. Mir. Sheuborger was directed to furnish coffin and outer box which were made ready at once. The corpse of the young man was properly laid out, the shroud &c., being furnished by the ladies of the neigh borhood, who also laid wreaths and flowers in and upon the coffin. The borough assumed the privilege of bearing the expense of the coffin, &c The ladies generally were most kind and at tentiye in this afaicting case, but their acts ol mercy are not for the pubic eye and ear. We would not trespass upon the reserve whicf properly surrounds the kind deeds of our ladies but we cannot but think it emnently proper that Mrs. McBride should thus publicly be thanked for her ready hospitality, and untirins attention in this sad instance. She devoted her entire house and all that was in it to thu service of the unfortunate stranger. and he kindness is recognized with praise at al hands,
 It will probably be satisfaction to the friend of the unfortunate young soldier to know tha he received every attention here, both befor and after death. The body was taken to th
 Mail East at 611s o'clock in the evening, and
 large concourse ofcitizens gathered at the time One of the guards-a sailor comrade of thu deceased-spoke feelingly thanking the peopl
 for their sympathy, and then offered an earnest prayer. The occasion was most solemn ant kmpressive. There has seldom been an acciden
 dl death in our borough which has elcited nor ffeelngo on the part of the community Ever, IDne seemed filled and depressed with sad sym ffpathy.
 I The corpse was put on the train and with tn guards charge started for Connecticut.

TIE CONTRACTING or THE GREAT SERpENT.-- It was an ominous expression of Gen. Scott "We must draw the mighty boa constructor around the traitors" What he thus said, he meant, and he is carrying his intention out, slow
 ly, but surely The folds of the great serpent are contracting about the rebel forces. It has driven them from Harper's Ferry, and is wind ing itself around Manassas Junction, where signs of retreat are already visble from the tactics of the great Federal leader. The United States forces are moving with steady progress in the direction of Richmond and the South. Their movements are not those of haste, but of power -movements that are and will be forward all ways, and such as rebellion will be powerless to resist. Our soldiers are fast becoming veterans in drill and efficiency, while the spirit which animates them is of the most chivalous and courageous nature. The idea of their iRyinci- nlhty will make them so in fact. Behind them is' and until the war shall cease, will be, an army of reserve which will more than supply the place of those who may fall in battle, or be dis aoled by injuries or sickness. A force of 15O.- OOO men will be in the field with heavier and bet
 ter ornaments than the enemy, and with the spirit that inspires them, they will march stead. fly onward to the Gulf, in spite of the boasted chivalry of the traitors.-N. r. Times.

Colts Regiment was also drawn up in two ranks on the bank of the river, and cheered us lustily- The entire route along the river was line of people. Every town we passed fired cannon and hurrahed till they split their throats and couldn't halloo any longer.- We arrived at the Sound about 71a o'clock, and shortly after turned into rest, our company oc- cupying the berths of the boat. and the others lying on the floor and on the tops of barrels and boxes.
 l We arrived at Jersey City at o'clock in the morning, and kept on board of the steamboat 1 till clock, when we were marched out in the street and stood there half an hour, when we moved under shed and stood there another hour or more, and then were marched into the depot and were going to leave in ten minutes. We stood there with our knapsacks on till when the time was up, we were informed that we could not go in an hour, and in that way we were kept until o'clock, F. M., when we started for Phil adelphia.
 Along the route, through Jersey, we were sa- lnted with cheers and the firing of cannon. I thought that we would never get to Phila., for we had to stop about two hours at every station before we could get started again, and so did not arrive in Philadelphia until after o'clock the next morning. From thence we travelled to Harrisburg, and after stopping there an hour we again started of, for Chambersburgh and reached here about Il o'clock on Wednesday night and after shinning it around here in the dark, among the rocks and ditches, we marched into Camp which was partly occupied by aregi- ment from Wisconsin, and after standing there l about an hour, we had to lie down on the vet ground without tent to cover us, and nothing l, but blanket over us, and slept till morning. 1 There are about 5000 men encamped here, and we have splendid camp ground. We had nor thing to eat here the first day but crackers and raw salt pork, and it was given to us, through the kindness of the Wisconsin regiment.

AN HISTORIC PARALLEL.-In l6B7, Enpland entered upon struggle in many points like our own of today. Macauly, describing the condi- ton of the state, at the beginning of the great and last English revolution, speaks of $ the avowed hostility of nonjurors, and the more dangerous hostility of traitors, who were ready to take any oath, and whom no oath could bind , He says" Her secret enemies commanded hel fleets and armies, were in charge of her arsenals ministered at her altars, taught in her universi, ties, swarmed in her public offices, sat in hel parliament, bowed and fawned in the bed-cham Der of the king"
