Is somewhat "a pet" with great majority of
the men, while the popularity of the Colonel,
Tor some cause, is far from what it should be to
secure proper military respect and subordina-
tion. 1t is exceedingly unfortunate that, in
times like these soldiers cannot be placed UNI
der commanders in whom they have entire con-
fidece. 1t is hoped we shall soon hear the last
of this unhappy quarrel

POIITICAII

The Portland Argts, which took few day
to consider the matter, finally decided to sup
port Mr.. Dana as the regularly nominated
Democratic candidate for Governor. But it il
suspicious of the platform on which Mr.. DAM
stands, adding:
awe therefore say, that so far as the platform
can, by any construction, be made to sanction
the odious doctrine of secession. or be constr,l.
ed into an expression of unwillingness on the
part OF the Democracy to defend their govern.
ment against every assaiant and to sustain the
constitution and laws, by all the means in thei,
power it is false to the views and feelings Of
the Democracy of Maine-a libel upon them
H. ]. Jewett has accepted the Democratic
nomination as Governor of Ohio. He declares
himself in favor of supporting the war till it
results in the unconditional submission of the
rebels, and would invite the loyal citizens Of
the South to a National Convention.
Three members of the Democratic Com
mittee of CORTLAND county have refused to fol-
low Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger in their
efforts to galvanize the old carcase of Democ-
racy. They think the proposition of the Re-
publican State Committee should have been ac
cepted.
The last Congressional election in Tennes-
see presents curious result, as far as heard
from. Mr.. Nelson is elected both to the Unit
ed States and the rebel Congress, having 3449
votes for the former, and 670S for the latter.
There was an animated contest in the latter
election, and none in the former. In the third
and fourth districts representatives were chosen
to the rebel Congress, though fair votes were
thrown for United States Representatives. In
the sixth district, Thomas (Democrat was re-
elected to the United States House, and men,
bers were also chosen from the eighth and
ninth districts. In the tenth, secessionist
member was elected, as also, we presume from
the statement of "A Nashville paper, in the fifth
and seventh districts. The returns in the sec
ond are incomplete.

The Rebels Badly Routed at Charleston and
Vicinity.
FEDERAL LOSS THRILLING.

On Monday night about 10 o'clock, battle
took place at Charleston, Mo-, (about 6 miles
west of the Mississippi river, and nearly OPP
posite Cairo, Ill., between the federal force,
25O strong, consisting of the 22d Illinois reg-
ment, under Col. Dougherty, accompanied by
Lieut.. Col. Rawson of the lth Illinois The
rebel forces were estimated at 600 to 700, COM
manded by Col. Hunter of jeff. Thompson's
army. The federalists were victorious, routing
the enemy, killing 40 and taking I prisoners
Our loss was one man killed, viz VIM p
Sharp of company A. Among our wounded
were Col. Dougherty, slightly; Lieut.. Col
Rawson, shot in the shoulder; Capt. Perry,
slightly wounded in the army. All the wounded
are doing well.
Capt. Noleman, with so molnted men, left
Birds Point at o'clock Monday evening, for
Charleston, to Join our forces under Col. Dough.
Gritty, but failed to form junction. They met
party of rebels numbering about 100, and
gave them battle killed 2, took 80 horses,
without the loss man.
The town of Commerce, Missouri, 40 miles
above Cairo which had been taken and bat
terry planted there by the secessonsts, was re-
taken Monday night by 800 troops, sent down
from Cape Girardeau by order of Gen. Ere
mont. The rebels made no stand, but retreat
ed with their own battery on the approach of
our troops. Their number was about 100 in
tantry and the same of cavalry.

NOBLE WORDS.

A few days before his death Stephen A.
Douglas addressed a letter to Virgil A. Hickox,
chairman of the state democratic committee of
Illinois, in which he thus clearly and distinctly
points out the duty Of every good American
citizen, to whatever party he may belong:
81 am unable 20 answer your questions in re-
spect to the policy of Mr.. Lincoln and cabinet.
l am not in their confidence, as you and the
whole country ought to be aware. am neither
the supporter of the partisan policy nor the
apologist of the errors of the administration.
My previous relations to them remain I'M
changed but | trust the time will never come
when shall rot be willing to make any need
full sacrifice of personal feeling and party policy
for the honor and integrity OF the country. |
know of no mode in which loyal citizen may
so well demonstrate his devotion to his country
as by sustaining the flag, the constitution, and
the Union, under all circumstances, and under
every administration, regardless of party poli
tics, against all assailants, at home and abroad.
The course of Clay and Webster towards the
of Jackson, in the DAYS of null
LITIGATION, presents a noble and worthy EXAMPLE
for all true patriots. At the very moment when
that fearful crisis was precipitated upon the
country, partisan strife between wings and DEM
ocrats was quite as bitter and relentless as now
between democrats and republicans.
The gulf which separated party leaders in
those days was quite as broad and deep as
that which now separates the democracy from
The republicans. But the moment an enemy
rose in our midst, plotting the dismembcr-
nent of the Union and the destruction of
The government, the voice of partisan strife
was hushed in patriotic silence. One Of
The brightest chapters in the history OF our
country will record the fact that during this
eyenth period the great leaders of the oppocsi,,
lion, sinking the partizan in the patriot, rushed
10 the support of the government, and became
It's ablest and bravest defenders against all as
sailants until the conspiracy WAS crushed and
abandoned, when they resumed their former
positions as party leaders upon political issues

STATE POLITICS.

In view of the State Convention to be held
here this week we desire to say word to pat.
riots in the State.
l. The Convention called by the Republican
State Committee was broad enough in its terms
to include every patriot in the State. Demo-
Gratis generally approved Of the resolution adopt
ed by the Convention when assembled, deem
ing it, as it unquestionably was, an indication
of the desire OF the Convention to lay aside for
the present party Platforms for the sake of
presenting united front against the enemies
OF the Country. When the nomination was an
nounced however, disaffection was at once man
ifest. One portion of the disafected were of
Tended because Mr.. Holbrook was upon the
ticket, another portion disliked Mr.. Underwood.
We have not yet heard any person seriously
claim however, that any unfair means were re-
sorted to to reach the result. The entire act
ion of the Convention was open and above
board, and was unquestionably not only more
generally satisfactory to the Convention, but to
the State at large, than any different nominal
ton could have been.
Those disaffected with the result of the
first Convention had an opportunity of trying
the question again Mt the Convention called by
the Democratic State Committee, as that cali
was broad enough to comprehend men Of all
shades of political faith. That Convention as
sembled, however, and u result was reached
But this result was still unsatisfactory to
class, who certainly began to exhibit an easy
aptitude for fault finding.
Those disaffected persons have now called
a third State Convention in terms which are
substantially the same as those of the first two.
And what is their object? Plainly TO distract
and divide the State in the coming election
We say this because we regard the callers Of
the Convention as men who can see what is
apparent to everybody else and that is, that
the Convention first held here nominated the
ticket that is to be elected by large majority
this fall and the only purpose of putting an
opposition nomination in the field is to draw
away, in certain sections of the State, few
votes from one or another of the ca didates al
ready nominated. Is this patriotic, especially
after these politicians have already had two OPP
portunties of bringing about the same result
they now seek? We may be dull of appre-
tension, but it certainly seems to us much more
like provoking divisions and dissensions, than
harmony and union in support of the Govern
ment.
Entertaining these views, we advise all men
who place Country above party, who value un-
on more than division, who think the good of
he whole superior to the ambition of a few
disappointed men, or the schemes of designing
to keep quietly about their usual
business next Wednesday, and not be beguiled
nto the net OF these discontinued spirits.-Free-

"PARTY LINES OBLrERATED."- We observe
that our democratic contemporaries in general
and the Bellows Falls argus in particular, in
announcing any change in postmasters, keep
playing upon that same old "chune," the words
OF which vary but the music runneth thus
Party Lines Obliterated We have never
held that party lines are obliterated; on the
other hand we believe they are as distinctly
drawn now as at any former period. There are
two parties in the country and their principles
are as wide asunder as the poles. The one
party instigates secession and applauds trea-
son; the other is bound to put down rebellion.
stop secession ard punish traitors. 1t is not
difficult to decide to which party the Argus be-
longs.
