Taking Union for Buncomb.


We clip the following extract from the
Calumet RepuJlicon
"Such papers as the Milwaukee Necs,
Madison Patriot, Msni.owoc Pilot and
Chiffon Times, are doing all hey can to
distract and divide the friends of the Tn
ion for disgraceful compromise and peace.
4 press true to the Union will continue to
expose their vile Vaccinations, and no
threat of personal violence will deter them
in the discharge Of manifest duty"
The above is a specimen Of the croak-
ings which emanate weekly from the CAL
umet Republican, and other small fry Alb
clifton papers. These political paupers
are great friends of the Union now, but
their whole lives have been devoted to its
separation, and were it not for the chance
Of plundering the people by government
and State patronage which they possess,
they would be as willing at tue present
time to "let the Union slide,' as they
have been in former times. They have
not drop of pure Republican blood in
their veins-it is contaminated with witch
hanging, church burning, Abolition fanat>
icism, which would destroy the best gov
eminent Oh earth, and their sympathy for
the Union is governed entirely by the
amount Of dollars and cents which they
filch out of the taxes of the property hold
ers Of the State and Nation. Even BooTH,
their high>prlest, acknowledges this when
be says he sees "little use in keeping up
a Republican party organization, except for
the purposes of dividing the spoils, as long
as the party ignores its own platform, and
has not the honesty to attempt to carry
out its own principles
If we remember correctly, the Abolition
editor 0: the Republican was one of the
first to enroll bis name as private in the
Calumet volunteers, but when the "tug
Of war" came, he was found warting in
his military enthusiasm. 1t is just such
men in all parts of the country who do AL
the "blowing," for the Union, while the
Democrats are doing the fighting. As we
before remarked, they care not straw for
it. and would rather see it discovered than
lose the fat offices and pay which are
thrown to them in crumbs from the tables
of their owners. The people are waking
up, and fast learning that "such papers as
the Milwaukee Negs, Madison Patriot,
Manitowoc Pilot, Chiffon Times, and De-
mocratic papers generally, are the tried
and true friends Of the Union and Con-
stitution, and this fact alone troubles the
hungry cormorants at the public crib

New Irish Brigade.
General Shields to Comm and the Sir:y
Ninth IN the Field Again.

General Shields to Command the SIXTY
Ninth IN the Field again.
We understand that majority of theI
gallant Sixty Ninth are about to take the
field again, under Lieutenant Colonel M
gent, to form the nucleus of an Irish bril-
gade, FIVE thousand strong, to be COM
manded by Gen. Shields, who has just been
appointed brigadier by the War Depart.
ment The services of Gen. Shields in the
Mexican war are matters of history He
was shot through the lungs, and yet sur
vived. In view of the formation Of this
brigade, we have reason to believe that
the gallant Captain Thomas Francis Mea-ss
CHER declined the high position offered
him by Major General Fremont, and ia i
ken his place again at the head of COM
pany of his fellow countrymen in the new
Sixty Ninth. The first regiment of the
brigade is now being organized under
Lieutenant Colonel Nugent, of that regis
ment, and will be known as the Sixty Ninth
Volunteers. Already companies from
Phiade! phia, Boston, Cleveland and other
cities hgve signifed their intention of joins
ing the new brigade. The spirit of the
North is now again aroused, and there is
no doubt that the Irish brigade of New
York vii! play robIe part in efacing
| from the Stars and Stripes the stain, which
in the eyes of tne world, attaches to. it in
consequence of the battle of Manassas. 1t
is probable that this Irish brigade will be-
come as famous as that which SO distin-
gulshed itself in the French service, in the
wars of Louis XIV, and other monarchs
of France, with Great Britain Their bat>
tie cry was, Remember Limerick and
British faith" in aIlusion to the perfdious
violation Of treaty made at that city. 1t
was in reference to this brigade, who at
Fontenoy, turned the scale of victory by a
headlong charge against the English, when
| all seemed lost, that George III exclaimed,
"Cursed be the laws which deprive me of
such subjects" We anticipate that the
new Irish brigade will rival the deeds of its
namesake in France. The headquarters
of the new brigade are at Essex Market.

BLOODY AFFRAY ON .sHIPBoARD.-A
bloody, and it is feared, fatal affray occur
red on board the schooner ELLEN VIII
I1AAs, of Chicago, during her last trip to
Buffalo. The circumstances as we heard
them are as follows: Capt. mcdonnell
having ordered the crew to wash off the
deck of the vessel, sailor named JEDDo
refused to obey, and the captain approach
ing him to enforce compliance with the
order, JEDDo drew knife and attacked
him most furiously, stabbing him in'seven
places. Three or four Of the wounds were
regarded as fatal. although at last accounts
the Captain was still alive, but no hopes
Of bis recovery were entertained. After
the afTray the vessel put into Cleveland,
where JEDDo was handed over to the L.
S. authorities to await the result of Cap
tain MoDoNNEL's injuries.

A NOVEL MARRIAGE.-A novel mar
riage occurred in Detroit, Michigan, on
Monday last, under the following circum-
stances. William Broderick, 70 years o.
age, and Hannah Bryan, aged Is years,
left Lawrence, Mass, last week, and came
out west for the ostensible purpose of be-
ing united in the holy bonds of matrimo>
ny. The ancient Lothario, however, being
rather slow in redeemng his promise, the
lady took the matter into her own hands
on Monday morning by rising at an early
hour and taking from the pockets of her
ancient lover cash amounting to $4eS.-
On discovering his loss the lady was i'm
mediately arrested for stealing, when she
entered a cross suit for seduction, the re-
suit of which was that the couple went
before Justice Swinscoe and were married,
after which they departed on their way
rejoicing, seeming mutually pleased with
the denouement.

THE PATRIOT AND THE DEMAGoGUE.-
The new U. S. Treasury fifty dollar notes,
with view, no doubt, to make them pop
ular with the people, have on one end a
portrait Of the patriot and hero, General
Jackson.
But whatever reverence the recollections
Of Jackson may excite, that reverence will
be qualified when the eye is turned to the
other end of the note, and the head of
Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois, recognized.
What contrast! The one, a man
whose wise craftsmanship and firm hand
crushed the incipient secession of his day.
The other, a demagogue, whose estates,
manship" could take no higher fight than
Abolition, and whose ''frmness" consisted
in opposing all compromises by which
modern secession might have been in part,
(pernaps wholly arrested, and shorn of
its strength

Important from Missouri

st. Louis, Aug. %.
Col. Wyman, commanding the forces
at Rolla, arrived on to-nghts train. and
reports the following important facts
Yesterday his runners returned and re.
ported that they found seven thousand
rebels at Bolivar. AT Sedalia there were
six hundred. These were advance guards
of McCuloch's army, which is marching
as rapidly as possible upon Jefferson City.
1t is ascertained to certainty that the
State troops (secessionists) are now some
40 900 in number, and are constantly be-
! coming more numerous. They are march.
ing as rapidly as possible upon the Capital
and would have been there and already
made an attack, had they had any means
10 transport their provisions. AS it is,
they are obliged to approach in divisions
and gather a subsistence by each taking
different routes and uniting near their
point of operation. There is no doubt but
that speedy assault upon Jefferson City
will take pIace-within week at the far
thest. A terrible battle will have to be
fought in defence of the Capital. The
Government is fully aware of the peril,

cesstul.
If military men directly from the vicin-
ity may be believed, you may expect to
hear stirring news in few days.
shall go up to Jefferson to morrow
morning, and will telegraph you further
accounts of anything that may occur.
Col. Wyman released all the prisoners
taken at Springfield, and gave them five
days rations. When they left, all the
Federal soldiers had also been released bv
the State men, ard had arrived at camp.
They, however, were turned loose without
a crust of food, their captors having none
to give them, and being almost starved
themselves.
Gov Gamble arrived in town to night
from the Capital.
The city is quiet. Barracks are being
rapidly built at the great camping ground
near the Arsenal. Enough laborers can
not be obtained to do the government
work.
Affairs at Ironton are quiet.

Gen. BUTLER SUPERSEDED by GENERAL
WooL.-This is a change which ought to
have taken place long since. Gen. But
LER has proved himself to be very inn
portant and very pompous parsonage, not
unlike Turkish Pacha. His strategy has
been most mastery, but it has been more
successful against the newspaper reporters
than against the enemy at Big Bethel. He
put one unfortunate member of the profess
sion to flight, who never stopped till he
got to Baltimore. The great object of his
ambition at Fortress Monroe was to con
troll the reports intended for the public
journals. He played the same sort Of
game before at Annapolis, and now be has
PLAYED himself out. A man of a very diff
ferent mettle, and of military education,
experience and capacity. has taken his
place, and we have no doubt will give a
good account of himself if the government
will afford him fair opportunity.

The Conventions.

There were some errors in the Conven-
ton notices rs published in our last paper,
and as reprinted on the first page Of this
number. The Districts were numbered
wrong-Rockland misplaced-and Maple
Grove not given its proper number Of
Delegates. We believe the calls are cor.
rect now. az above published.
We would suggest to the Conventions
that they appoint their several Assembly
Committees for the ensuing year. There
are none now in existence-hence the
County Committee have thought it proper
to act in Ire premises until an organization
was effected.

Treason Among Republicans.

If the Pilot had used language like the
following against some of the members Of
LINcoLN's Cabinet, it would be denomina-
ted Secession sheet Immediately by our
Republican fellow citizens. But as it
comes from the Milwaukee Free Demo-
Graf, prominent organ of their party,
they will undoubtedly say "its all right"
Therefore we give them the benefit of a
republication. In speaking of SIMON
CAMERON, it says:
at is no time to be mealy -H1outhed.
If the Secretary OF War, the most respon-
sible officer of the government, is man
in whom the people have lost confidence,
be should be displaced at once, either by
resignation or removal. Some may say
1t is bad time to make change. In
answer we say there is no bad time to
make change if the incumbent is not suits
ed to the position he holds. Mr.. Came
ron should resign at once Uutil he does
so the people will despair of having mat
tiers 90 on right in the War Department"
Mr.. WELLEs, Secretary of the Navy,
comes in for a small slice from the same
paper, as follows:
eff Mr.. Secretary Welles cannot be
aroused to vigorous action, or if be is net
fitted by nature, or education, or habit of
thought and action for the place he occu-
pies, in Gods name, and for the country's
sake, there should be no delicacy or hest
tation in calling some one to the post who
is competent to all the emergencies Of the
present crisis"
After reading the above, we think that
the Pilot will be acknowledged better
friend of the government than some of the
Abolition papers.

What We Are and Are Not Fighting


The Gowander Reporter publishes the
following communication from G. c. Tor
RANCE, Esq, one of the most influential
Democrats in tina. county:
1. We are not fighting to abolish sla
very.
2. We are not fighting to destroy or
impair the rights of any State.
8. We are not fighting to subjugate the
South or destroy their liberties.
4. We are not fighting Cor the Chicago
Platform.
5 We are not fighting for Abraham
Lincoln or The Republican party, or to
promote its interests.
6. We are not fighting to promote the
interests of any party.
When any Of these become the purpose
for which this war is carried on, there will
be an army in the rear, as we'll as in
front. But we are fighting for the supre
macy of the Constitution, and the enforce
ment of the laws.
We are fighting for the stability of the
best Government ever formed-one under
which the largest liberties are secured to
its citizens-through the benign inhuen-
ces Of which a continent almost entirely
covered by wilderness, the abode of
, savages. has been suddenly peopled with
thirty millions of free white inhabitants,
developing its resources and challenging
by their successful industry and intelligent
enterprise the admiration Of the world.
We are fighting for that flag which as it
has foated cover the sea and over the lane
and in every breeze under the whole heav-
ens' we have caused to be hitherto re.
spected BY the nations. We are fighting
to transmit to Others the free institutions
delivered into our keeping, and which has
been the real source Of such wondrous
prosperity. We are fighting to maintain
this free popular constitutional Govern.
ment. We are fighting that we may still
have a country.
If we fail, SO much the worse for all
those in arms against US, since we propose
no war of conquest or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
but simply to main tain, in their integrity,
for them and US and all, the Constitution
and the Union as founded by our fathers.

Still Earping.


The Madison Journal persists in its
misrepresentation Of our position concer-
uing the prosecution Of the war, By an
unfair criticism, if not wiiful perverson Of
tie comments We made upon the exciting
subject. If the Journal wishes really to
treat US fairly, it will coolly and dispas-
sionately review our remarks heretofore
made, and must come to the conclusion
that we did no. charge, nor insinuate the
charge, that the Journal " advocated the
appointment of incompetent officers, and
that it would be highly offended were any
individual, possessing the slightest expe-
rience or knowledge of military affairs,
appointed to position in one of our regi-
ments ~
What we did insist upon, was, that the
appointing power should appoint-so far
as in its power so to do-men of military
experience and knowledge, to commands
in our Regiments, and not mere partizaD
leaders without such experience or knowl-
edge, or any Of The requisite qualifications
to make military commanders and we
believe that the Journal would-as il
ought to-scout any such act on the part
of the appointing power, either at Wash
ington or Madison, or elsewhere in the
North, and would be quite as unwilling
as ourself to have our army run the risk
of defeat in single battle with the rebels
against the government, as there can, and
should be-to the Administration-no
political necessity for such suicidal policy
We trust the journal viii not continue
its misrepresentation Of our position or
remarks, and hope it will in future entire
ly Ignore party and politics in appoint
ments te military commands, and 90 for
the right men for the right place, whether
they be Republicans or Democrats, and
rejoice As heartily as we shall ever do, in
the success Of the arms Of the North, and
more especially Of our own brave Wiscon
sin Volunteers, while it could not fail to
mourn as deeply as any Democrat at the
defeat Of our arms in any battle, through
the b!unders Of officers appointed by the
Republican Administration.
We also hope that the Journal will
permit us as wide latitude in criticism 9
the acts of any Of the officers of the gov
ernment--from the President Of the Uni
ted States down TO Wisconsin Colonel
as is taken by Republican Journals, with>
out denouncing US as rebels, or guilty Of
personalities and fa!sehoods"
We are for vigorous prosecution of
the war, and for the right men in Ms right
place, when they are known and can be
had, and we agree with the Republican
press in its expressions Of want of conf
dence in the ability of the Secretaries of
War and Navy to conduct the war as it
might and should DO done, and for the
immediate substitution Of other men in
their Departments.
Does this satisfy the Jou,7aal2

FIRST RIFLE CANNON CAST IN MILwAU-
KEE.-On the 21st inst, at MELM's Bad
ger Iron Works in Milwaukee, was cast a
rifle cannon, weighing 1000 pounds, un-
der the direction of Gen. McMAEMAS, E.
B. WoLcoTT and Col. J. B. ATwATER. 1t
was moulded by Mr.. j. HILL, formerly of
the Carron Cannon Iron Works in Scot-
land. This cannon will possess the high
est power attained by any gun, being en-
tirely new principle, invented and pa
tented by Col. ATwATER. 1t will be tested
IN few days by a Board of Army officers.
Gen. McMaNAAN, who has taken great
interest ia this matter, is one of the first
artiIlerists in the West, and is too well
known to the people of this State 20 need
any endorsement, in the way Of military
science, from US, having, as all know, been
an officer of marked distinction for years
in the cavalry and artillery in Europe.
