In this mornings Democrat an article ap.
pears copied from the Kcokuk Gate city o
September 14th, entitled pursuit of Martin
Green" in which it is made to appear that
COL Williams Of the Iowa Third Regiment
who took charge of the Federal forces at Shell
bina, is coward and drunkard
The whole article as far as Col. Williams
is concerned, is malicious and deliberate
lie, and none but coward and villain would
have penned the article.
The undersigned was at Shelbina, and com.
posed part of Col. Williams forces, in all G0C
men. We were cognizant on that occasion
of Col. Williams coolness and bravery. II
was at the suggestion, and earnest solicita
ton of oar command that Col Williams final
ly yielded and withdrew from Shelbina. In
fact, sre determined to withdraw from the
hopeless fight. OF course Colonel Williams
could no longer cope with Green's forces
numbering some $500, while Col. Williams
would have-after our withdrawal-but 2SC
men, and no field pieces.
At Shelbina, Col. Williams rode out after
the enemy deployed on the prairie within
800 yards of their line. When went out tc
the cornfeld, and saw horseman returning
I though it was a flag of truce, but upor
waiting until he arrived, saw it was Colone

THE way to heaven is just as short from,
the battle field, from an enemy's prison, from
Lucknow, or from India, or from Peiho, as
it is from the sanctuary; and it is as easy to
get to heaven from any of these as from the
house of God; because, the way to heaven is
the Mediator who covers all space; who hears
the Publcan's first cry, and sees the MaSda.
lens only tear; receives the criminals last
breath, and to whom the heart beats prayer
when the lips cannot speak, and who hears
the dying soldiers and the sailors cry, whei
no noise is heard by flesh and blood save tho
terrible din Of q battle field. What masnif

tell the following story of the amiable Quaker
poet: On a recent occasion he was travelling
with friend over New Hampshire railroad
anG during conversation Mr.. Whittiers friend
who is also member of the Society Of
Friends told the poet that he was..on his way
to contract for lot of oak timber, which he
knew would be used in building the gun
boats at Portsmouth, and asked him whether
he thought it was exactly in consistenct
with the peace doctrines Of the Quaker de-
nomination. Without saying anything cal
culated to decide the question, the two arriv
ed at their parting place, when Mr.. Whittier
shaking his friends hand, said: Moses, i

MEN FOR THE TIMEs.--Those among our
cotemporaries who are friendly to the cause of
the Union, yet question the course of Major
General Fremont, ought to reflect on tho con-
sequences, now upon us all, of me1ecisipe, or,
II they please to call them, moderate and con.
cilatoIy measures. The situation of affairs
in Missouri calls aloud for the most vigorous
procedure. And it is most fortunate fer the
Union cause that its destiny there is cenfid-
cd to bold and energetic hands. These are
no times for half measures. A daring cpcr-
ator is not necessarily less skillful or less
cautious. The hour demands resolution and
promptitude, as well as courage. We have
had enough of attempts to soothe, to concili-
ate, and compromise with traitors bearing
arms in their hands; and we knop mAat ,ce
hare suffered herefrom. They MUST BE PUT
DOWN. We rejoice at and heartily approve
of General Fremont's action. "A course.
similar in its spirit of decisive coping with
treason, open or covert but modified by the
peculiar circumstances of each locality might
be adopted elsewhere with the greatest ad-
vantage.
Is not treason still rampant in Baltimore ?
Are not there among us men in regular cor
respondence with the rebel usurpers of State
authorityI Why are they not at Fort Ia.

JEFF. DAvIs-A correspondent Of the N
Y. Times, writing from Washington under
date of the 9th, at time when it was gen.
orally supposed there that DAVIS was dead as
reported, thus portrays his merits and de-
merits:
No man who remains is capable of playing
the despot On so large scale. None, GER
tainly, who could perform it to the perilous
extreme required for the compactness of a
cause which is itself unsound, or who has
popularity or public confidence enough to
dare attemptit. Davis was a great chieftain.
Cool, courtly, plausible and talented, he con-
cealed under a woman's gentleness and the
professions of a Christian, will Of adamant
and the unscrupulousness of devil. Ex-
perienced, both as soldier and statesman,
he could initiate the policy for either his
Cabinet or his Generals and being equal, il
not superior, to any Of them in details, he
could safely direct and watch the execution
Of the plans he had set on foot Too lofty to
descend to the vulgarity of temper, it was no
task for him to be aifable in his discourse
and gentle in his manners. Thus, through
the profound philosophy of pride, he seemed
one Of the meckest and most estimable OF
