FACTS.

The Republicans, placing country above party,
have offered TO the Democrats te combine with
them in nominating one ticket for State officers
on the sole basis Of vigorous prosecution OF
the war for the existence Of Republican institu-
tions.
The Democratic managers, placing party above
country, refuse this offer outright. Not daring TO
propose submission 10 JEFF. Davis, they pretend
to be for the war, but at the same time for Of
/, fering to the Incompatible conspiratOrs and
criminals who have brought this danger upon the
Republic AID this suffering and ruin upon the
people, terms of compromise, in other words, to
submit 10 the Southern Coniederacy.
This, then, will be the sole question in the
coming election: Shall the Union and the Consti-
tuition be defended and maintained or shall
~.e basely submit to traitors with arms in their
EaLds and thus make o rebellion o standing
i,s,itation among us
y The Soff Democratic managers are for the
&c I'd alternative; the People are for the first |!

We publish this mOrniog number of the Off
cial reports of officers who led divisions aud
brgades in tho battle of Bull Run. Coming
after Gen. McDowell's statement, which, in a
general way, covered the whole ground, they Fre
naturally OF secondary Importance, but for those
who are anxious to understand the exact character
of this remarkable engagement, they will still
possess very vivid Interest. And for officers
and soldiers who are now starting fresh TO the
field, they are full Of emphatic teachings. He
who reads them carefully may easily discern the
causes Of the recent disaster, and the means BY
which similar evils msy be ayerted in future. In
relaton to this matter, call particular atten-
tion to the report of Col. Heintzelman, who,
more than any other officer, suffered from the want
OF discipline which toe troops under his command
betrayed. He shows the comparative uselessness
of mere personal bravery (Which his men did no!
lack) when unaccompanied by thorough subor.
dination and practiced discipline. 1t is Iota
bic fact that the regiments which behaved be.t
upon the field, and which claim the most honor.
able recognition in these reports, were precisely
those which had been beforehand the most cele.
brated for their accurate drill
New-York daily tribune., 1861-08-11

The question "who commanded the Rebels at
The battle of Bull Run" is answered hy the ad.
dress to the army after the fight. That some
what grandioquent document, which we print
elsewhere, is signed jointly by Johnston and
Beauregard--so it was double headed army;
or, perhaps, Beauregard in recognition of the
fact that JohnstOn's force alone prevented the
National troops from winning the field, magnani-
mously shares the glory with his preseryer.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-08-11

We publish elsewhere letter from Col. Cor
coran of the 69th Regiment, now held prisoner
by the Rebels at Richmond, to his wife, the
perusal of which will fully ret at rest the fears
entertained by many frieGds for his safety. His
health is much improved, and he is kindly
treated by tho Rebels.
New-York daily tribune., 1861-08-11

A letter from an editor in Florida states that
the Rebel Congress at Richmond has resolved
unanimously that no articles of Southern growth
shall be shipped from Southern ports to aDy
foreign country that has not recognized the indie
pendence of the Confederate States. This is a
terrible blow at the world; but strange to say,
the old planet still reyOlyes on its axis.

the recent Presidential election is the loss OF
Offices by the Locofoeo party, whose strength
Is chiefly In the South. Seldom Of Virginia
undertook to remedy this sectional difficulty
IN HE Peace touvurtiUu. tire other day, by a
resolution requiring that one half the Fede.
raj oihees should be filed by men from the
South. Although the South heretofore
with less than half the population of the
North has had larger portion Of the Fed
erai officers than the North, the Peace Con.
vension doubtless imperiled the Union by re-
lecsing this modest item in the scheme of
compromise, notwithstanding President w.

Money Matters,

The Chicago Tribune of Thursday says tha,
the bills of all the Illinois banks, not reject.
ed a month or two ago, were taken as usual
yesterday. Mr. Durkee, of this city, who
returned last evening through Chicago, leav
ing there on Thursday, makes the same re-
port.
For the information Of our readers e make
the following extract from the Tribune's
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1861-03-02

/ There was considerable excitement this
morning under The impression that our city
I banks would throw out the bills Of the bank !
| that had been reported ns placed in liaoida
| ton by the Auditor. Ii Gained down to-
wards the close, when il was found tha, they
were taken as usual from dcpositors, aud il
was agreed by the bankers TO continue to
treat this the same as all other Illinois cur
renew. Some parties, bent on specializing
10 these bills, made every possible etfor. 70
inauguratc different policy, but they were
unsuccessful. Ii turns out that the dispatch
from Springfield did not give the facts as
they exactly are. The Bank Commissioners
simply reported to tho Auditor, that the
hunks called on for additional securities had
not responded. Under the provision OF the
amended law published tins morning, this
gives holders OF bills the privilege Of with
drawing bonds if they choose. Their exact
status j. changed very little from MANY 9th
ers in the State. the price row ruling in
New 0Tk for stocks only comparatively a few
OF our State Banks are fully secured. BY the
report 81 the Hon. $. 4. Iinriburt to the
Honse Of Representatives, ii appears that
S5,159,3o3 Of our currency are based co
stocks worth 90 cents or less, while 2,203,
901 range between 90 ani 95c. The people
and the banks have been taking these bills
Tor months past, when many of them were
worth less than they are now, and now that
ehey have carried them through nearly to the
opening Of navigation. IL would be the ex-
IRENE OF folly to jiseredit them. The effect
would be simply 70 enrich the brokers at
the expense Of the people.
Within the last three DAYS, the, price OF
stooksin New York has been steadily al
yAaeing, and OF course the value OF our mo
ney is as steadily improving. Missouri have
Appreciated some 3 per cent, closing to day
at o1s. II il is once demonstrated, as We
belieseit viii be within week, that " have
government, We shall expect to see stocks
largely and rapidly appreciate.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1861-03-02

The aggregate circulation Of these banks
is So, 7-6, i95, while the entire value OF the
stocks, if they were sold at the prices ruling
on The 3Ist OF January, would be 82,3l4,-
3le. This would show loss OF $4l2, at.
The Chicago Tribune of Wednesday says
tho notes of these Banks we're taken as
usual on the previous day, by all the bank
ers, and as usual, that paper advises every
body to keep cool and not sacrifice their mo-
ne7.

Second, No new Territory shall be ac-

to be cminently fair, just and reasonable
emhodying all that the Slave States have
ever eontendei for, and epen more than

There was rumor currentin Washington
that Gen. Twiggs bad been shot by soldier
member Of Gen. Twiggs' staff now here
says Twiggs had declined to enter the ser.
vice OF Georgia. and will also decline ser.
vice 10 the Southern Confederacy. The ru-
mored death of Twiggs was received here
from several sources.
The story is, that Gov. Houston sent his
Aid 20 Twiggs, to demonstrate against the
contemplated treachery, when an alteration
ensued, which resulted in the Aids shooting
the General dead. The rumor still lacks
