that on Friday and Saturday last skirm-

The FIrI,t nt Gnnlcr-

A dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
from its army correspondent in Western
Virginia, gives the following particulars of
the fight Of Tuesday last, in which Floyd
was defeated by Gen. Rosecraus;
CAnmoKs FERRY, Sept. l2.
Tho battle Of last Tuesday at this place,
was by far tho greatest and severest yet
fought in Western Virginia. Ex-Secretary
of War; Floyd commanded the rebels in
person, and received severe wound in the
arm, during the engagement.
The rebels had accurate advice Of our APP
proach and exact strength, as appears from
tho papers found in their camp, and had
made every preparation to resist an attack.
They had six regiments inside their in
trcnchments, with artillery sweeping all ap-
proach. tr s,r
During the whole engagement, lasting
nearly four hours, we brought into action
only five regiments, aud Of these but parts
of three wero long engaged. TIC rcbels
stationed expert riflemen to pick off officers,
and fred spelter from their canuon--a mis-.
sile unknown to civilized warfare. Exper-
fenced military men say the roar ofcannon-
aiding and musketry for time was the heav-
lest they ever heard, but the rebels fred
mostly too high with their artillery. Floyd
should be surrounded and his retreat to
Lewisburg cut of.
An immense amount Of personal proper.
ty was found in the rebel camp, but only
some fifty Wagon loads we're thought wor-
thy of transportation, and in this coun.
try the whole amount is hardly worth ter
thousand dollars.
Fears have been entertained that Floyd
might make rapid march TO Gauley
Bridge, and concentrate with Wise in ar
attack on Cox, but he is now in no condi
ton to fight anywhere. He has over five
hundre sick, and n strong detachment spen
an hour and twenty minutes carrying of
his killed and wounded, after the fight, pas
the house where he had our prisoners confn
ed. Wise has been skirmishing with Cox,anC
has uniformly been beaten off with heavy
loss. Cox is regarded perfectly safe.
Lee attacked Reynolds at Cheat Mount
, ain Gap yesterday. Reynolds is strongl,
$ posted and believed able to defend himself
: Floyd's scouts are still infesting the noun
' tains on the opposite side of Gauloy, an'
j. guerilla firing is frequent on our messenger
from here to Sutton.

missouri MATTERS.

Jefferson City, Sept. 1s.-Monday after
noon Gen. Price sent word TO Col. Multi
gan at Lexington demanding surrender.
Col. Mulligan's reply was, ego 10 He'll
An attack was Immediately made by first
opening with artillery and making an ad-
vance under its cover on the town. Price
was repulsed with heavy loss. Lane with
an estimated force of 5000 Kansas troops
is reported to be within 40 miles of Lexing-
ton, rapidly advancing to reinforce Col.
Mulligan. Other Federal troops are rapid
ly converging from ST Joseph and other
points to reinforce Col. Muligan. The
18th, 22d, oath and 26th Indiana regiments
have gone via steamer TO Lexington; also
forces sent from St. Louis by the Demoines
and White Cloud These reinforcemcnts
number about 5000 effective troops and
will reach Lexington tomorrow morning (the
19th.) Every confidence is felt that Col
Mulligan will be able to hold Lexington
until reinforcements arrive.
The Usage bridge IL miles east of here
on the Pacific road, is said TO be the frs
point threatened by Ben. McCulloch's forces
now believed to be advancing rapidly from
the southwest. 1or
The rebel loss on Monday is reported a
1000, and that Of the Federal troops a
500, which is probably exaggerated.
later report says that Lexington was cap
tured on Tuesday by the rebels, but the repor
has not been confirmed

The only Party that can save the country

The only Party that can Save the Country
The secession, tory papers and speakers
are prating so much about their Democrat
ic party being the ONLY ONE that can save
the country, the ONLY party that is loyal TO
the Constitution, &c, that we are tempted
to say a word on the subject. And what
we do say we wish it understood is meant
only for those who use the once honored
name of that once honored party for villain
GUS purposes just now, and is not meant as
a reproach to any honest, loyal Democrat.
We assert that every traitor voluntarily
in arms against this government, is of the
Democratic party. If the Democratic par
ty is the only party that can save the coun-
try, it is also true that it is the party from
which all the present danger comes; hence
the great necessity for new party, and a
complete separation of the good and bad
men of that party, in order to save the
country. Ifthe Democratic party embraces
true men which is patent fact, does it not
also embrace Buchanan, Davis, Beau
regard, Yancey, a Rhett, a Bean, and all
the armed host arrayed against the laws
and the Constitution. What nonsense
then to talk about that party being the on
ly party capable of saving the UniOn9
1t will take more than party, it will
take the whole people to save this Govern.
ment, and shame on the man who will claim
that his party alone can do it.
What barefaced audacity and false as
sumption it is when all the Democrats o
the South are in arms against the Govern
ment, and the Democrats are in minority
in every Northern State, 10 claim that tina
party is the only one able to save the Gov
erument. The fact is, that party takel
alone is powerloss Just now.

The Ohio nomination.

The Peoples Union Convention at Co
lumbus, Ohio, yesterday, put in nomination
for Governor David Tod, of Youngstown,
Mahoning county. Mr.. Tod is son of the
late Judge George Tod, who was native
of New Haven, Conn, and graduate of
Yale College. He emigrated to the West
ern Reserve at very early day; Was one
of the pioneers of the West took an active
part in the late war, and was for many
years one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Ohio, and was one Of the most
brilliant and eloquent speakers in our coun-
try. He married Miss Ingersole, of New
Haven, who was the mother Of Mr.. David
Tod, the next Governor Of Ohio.
Mr.. Tod is about fifty years of age, a an
tive ofTrumbull county, Ohio. He was for
many years member of the bar, and one
of the most successful jury lawyers in the
state. In 1910 he was member of the
State Senate, and whenever candidate
for any Office, bis personal popularity would
gain him a large number of votes from the
wings, as Mr.. Tod has ever been staunch
Democrat.
In 1874 Mr.. Tod was the candidate oi
the Democratic party for Governor, and af-
ter most excited and spirited canvas was
only defeated by few hundred votes.
During the administration Of Mr.. Polk Mr..
Tod was the American minister to Brazil,
where be gained the respect and esteem Of
all by bis kindness and courtesy and at
tention.
Upon his return home Mr.. Tod engaged
extensively in the iron and coal business, anC
was Withdrawn from the political field unit
he was appointed a delegate to the Charles
ton Convention, last year. He was tb'
President Of the Baltimore Conuention iha
put in nomination Mr.. Douglas, and wa
a devoted friend of that gentleman.
From the bour of the assault upon For
Sumter Mr.. Tod has given all bis energie
TO the war against treason. He gave liber
ally Of his large means-sent one son earl
into the contest; und, with voice and purs
and energy has been second TO no man il

aTHE NoRrn DvIDED--THE SoUTH BE-
COMING UNrrED.-The people Of the north
ern States are at length beginning to awake,
and taking decided stand in favor Of peace
and against the war. The Democratic par
~ is rapidly ye-orgrnizing, aud in every
northern State has refused 10 cooperate
vith The Republican party. While the peo-
pie of the north are becoming divided-tho
DEMOCRATS generally OPPOSING ana

been brought about by the continued agita
ton of the slavery question; and boldly as
sert that the main reason for the further
prosecution of tho war is that slavery, which
the Republicans proclaim is the cause of tho

We ask every true man who reads thi'
paragraph to think it over calmly, and if ht

see whore his action places him. No tru'
man will now be found in opposition TO thu

FEEDING AN ARH.-Upwards of 9,OO0,-
900 ratioDs for the army of the Potomac,
are now stored in the receiving depots al
Washington. Some idea of the bulk ol
these rations may be formed when we state
that there are $4,000 barrels of -four, 9,O0C
barrels Of beef, 5000 barrels Of pork, 500,
900 pounds Of coffee, 100000 pounds o
sugar, and 100000 pounds of bread, with
hominy, crackers, vinegar, candles, soap and
salt in proportion. An army of 250,00C
men will consume all these rations in twelVC
days.

In another place we publish communication
from Mr.. Ball, Union candidate for Auditor, ta-
ken from the Democrat, repelling the charges
made against him by the Messenger. If our
friend Ball expects to reply to all the lieing
ISLANDERS preferred against him by that Infamous
rebel sheet between now and the election, he
will have to keep two clerks and boy con-
stantly employed in writing letters of denial.
Devoid of all honor and without character, with
the death-rattle in its throat its editor will re-
sort TO any dishonorable means, even to the de-
flaming of private character, as in the case of
DIR. Ferguson, that may promise ghost of a
chance to secure vote for the tory ticket. But
as the thing has about lost its influence, if it ever
had any, we do not see the necessity of paying
much further regard to it in any shape. We
shall merely give it a knock or two when it gets
in our way.
