Hon. d. 5. DICKINSON ON the War.

The Hon. d. S. Dickinson of New York,
whose democracy Of the slrictest order has
never been doubted, rises above all party
considerations in support OF all measures to
put down the traitors, made speech last
Monday in Wyoming County, Prnnsylva-
MIA, strongly against any compromise with
armed traitors. Most earnestly do we com
mend it TO those in this section who think
it a cunning thing 10 sympathise with the
Southern rebellion. We shall probably
publish il entire next week. We give the
following sampled
al know not whether Mr.. Lincoln has
observed the Constitution indeed, for the
purpose Of resisting the rebellion, care
not. 1t is dae TO him TO say, however, that
he has seemed TO be IN good faith in at
tempting TO put down the rebellion. lie
has moi done all things as | would have done
Them, because | would have multiplied his
men by about four, and where he has struck
one blow would have struck Dozen
T Laughter and cheering Therefore do
not agree with him in that respect. When
the day comes, we can have a settlement
with bin, for he is to be held with all other
officers 10 a strict account But ] would
not do even that under the smoke of an en-
emy's guns"
In reference TO the suspension of the writ
of habeas corpus, he said: IF ] had pos
session of traitor, and no other remedy
would arrest trcachery, would suspend the
writ, and the individual, too"

MA. Dillingham;.

Mr.. Dillingham;, The democratic nominee
for governor Of this state, in declining the
nomination of his party, wrote patriotic
letter which we cordially commend to all
democrats, especially few in this section
who are being led into the p'th of treason
and sympathy W th the south Mr. DiIl'ng-
ham was formerly democratic member OF
congress, and we ask all democrats TO read
the following extract from his letter above
referred to;--
"As We I'LL know, our country is now IN
the midst Of fearful struggle for the main
tainance of the Union Of the states, and OF
the integrity and continuance OF the national
government We are engaged in a war
that has for its purpose that end-by sub
DUNG the rebellion that now threatens our
national existence. | feel very confident
that great number hope majority
of all the old parties in this state feel and
Judge as d., and that they will rise above
party, ms such, and stand for their country,
one and indivisible, now and forever. With
such mean TO act, whether their number
be few or many, till this most wicked re-
elion is crushed out; ard Wishing that my
opinions and acts may be in harmony, !
have felt called upon to decline the nomi-
nation 50 honorably rendered to me.

From CairO---Rattie at Charles
tOn---Eedcr;,is Victorious.
CAIRO, AUG. 20.

A battle took place last night at u
o'clock at Charleston, between the federal
forces, about 250 strong, consisting of the
22d Ill. regiment under command of Col.
Dougherty accompanied by Lieut. Col
Dawson of the Dist Ill. The rebel force
was estimated at GOO or 700 men and COM
manded by Col Hunter of Jefferson Thomp-
sons army.
The federal force was victorious, com
pletely routing the rebels, killing 40 and
taking | | prisoners.
Loss on our side was one killed, viz -
William P. Sharp of Co. A.
Among the wounded are Col Dougherty,
slightly, Lieut. Col Dowson, shot in the
shoulder, not serious, Capt johnson, Co A
shot in the leg, George A. Perry, slightly
wounded in the arm. The wounded are all
doing well.
Old Capt Holman, with 90 men, left
Birds Point about o'clock last evening
for Charleston TO join the forces under
Col Dougherty, bat failed to form June
ton with them. They met a party of
rebels about 100 strong and gave them
battle, killing 2, taking SO prisoners, and
capturing 80 horses without the loss of a
man.

We assure our correspondent that Mr.
llolbrook is for no compromise with traitors
whatever, but for a vigorous prosecution OF
the war till the last traitor has been dis
armed, and the rebellion thoroughly crushed
out. He is now the standard bearer of the
loyal and patriotic people of Vermont, and

speech from Gen. WOOL.

Major General Wool, while on his way
to Fortress Monroe, was serenadel at the
St. Nicholas House, New York, on Thurs
day evening Of last week, where he made q
capital good speech, which we publish be-
low. Men dead in Southern sympathies
may think they discover streak Of "abo-
lition in il. To all such we say, remcm-
Der that Gen. Wool is lifelong democrat
of the slrictest order, and has often beer
mentioned by the democratic party in con-
nection with the presidency. He is true
patriot, aud gives his whole soul to the
cause, without reserve. His speech was
brief and TO the point, as iol!ows:-
Fedo,g citizens: thank you fol this I'M
expected honor. Nothing is more crafty
ing to a soldiers feelings than the good
opinion of his felow-citizens. / do not,
however, regard it merely as compliment
to myself, but on behalf of my country, my
bleeding country, which is now contending
for the most precious Of rights. But yes

the admiration of the world; with an en-
pire extending from the frozen regions of
The North 10 the tropical regions of the
South, and with population of more than
thirty.one millions, enjoying prosperity
unparalleled in the history Of nations
Every city and hamlet was growing rich,
and none so much so as those at the South,
But this not so to-day. And for what rea-
son? For nothing under Gods heavens but
because the Sonth want to extend the area

only question with you is whether you will
support free speech, free government, free
suffrage, or extend the area of slavery
This was the happiest country on the face
