Fig Int at Rich Mountain,

A battle was fought at Rich Mountain Va, on
Thur day last, where the enemy, numbering about
1000, under command of COL Pcgram were strong
ly entrenched. About o'clock in the morning
Gen Rosencrans with portion of the eth 10Th
and 18th Indiana. and the 18th Ohio Regiments,
LETT Beverly, after very difficult march of seven
or eght miles, cutting road through the woods,
succeeded in surrounding the enemy about 3 clock
in the afternoon. A desperate fight Immediately
ensued, lasting about half an hour and resulting
in the loss of sixty of the enemy killed and many
wounded and taken prisoners, some of whom are
officers They retreated prccipitately, leaving
behind six cannon and large number of horses
and wagons, camp equip! age &c. The loss on
our side is twenty killed and fifty wounded.
Since the above was put in type we learn that
Gen MCCLELLAN has received propositions from
Col PtGRAM for the surrender of the remnant of
ms command; some six hundred men, These, with
what he has already. would make nearly thou.
sand prisoners for him to take oare of. Latest ac
counts make l50 rebels killed, and that the Union
forces lost II killed and IS wounded.

For Compromise.

The Louisville Democrat which is one
of the ablest and most powerful Union
papers, and has dealt heavier blows to
secession than perhaps ony other journal.
is out strongly in favor of comprcm mise
by which an end will be put to the war
1t says /:
A party of the North will sneer at the
word compromise. Their fears will be
re-echoed by fanatics South-no compro-
mise But both sides had as we'll make
up their minds to the necessity that is
coming-compromise is the word All
governments, especially all free govern
ments, are founded on compromise, and
this difficulty must be compromised. 1t
is not worth while for the North to cry
ont no compromise with rebels. The
rebels will reply with just as much ferocity
no compromise with abolitionists. Let
these rebels and abolitionists rail at each
other and fight if they choose; the more
OF them sent to heaven the better. They
do nothing but evil in this world, and
perhaps will be troublesome in the next
AT all events, we are tired of them here,
and will be glad to get rid OF them. No
compromise means war, until one or the
other can impose it's own terms to the
other, and we shall never see the end of
such war

Treason.

The Cincinnati Enquirer very appro

of Popular rights, are under the Consti-
tuition as interpreted by them Anything
and every thing that don't come up tt
their standard is treason. 1t is treason
to circulate petitions for compromise o

arrest persons circulating them. 1t i,

able of the President toconfer such
power on his subordinates. 1t is trea
sonable to object to squads of mill.
tary visiting private houses. and
without warrant from the civil magistrate
making searches and seizure. Ii is trea-
son to question the right of the Presiden,
to seize the private correspondence OF the
citizen against whom no suspecion or
complaint has been made. 1t is treason
to question the infalliblity of the Presi.

in all his recommendations. 1t is trea

upon the war to ruined trade +; to closed

that this war might have been avoided
had the Crittenden Compromise been
adopted and not spit upon by the Repub-
lican leaders. 1t is rank treason to ex.
pose the dishonest transactions and point
ont the rascality and corruption of Re.
publican officials. In fine, it is treason
to be truthful and faithful to the Consti
tntion and to the people. 1t is very
good thing that these Republicans have
not the power to enforce their ideas Of
what constitutes treason. Had they the
power. they woud shame despotism itsel

The Will Ofthc People Must he
Respected and Obcycd.

Whether the Union created the States.
according to the doctrine of the old Fed
eralists, or the States the Union. ac-
cording to the view Of States Right u,en,
it is clear that the Federal Government
was formed by the consent of the gov
erned, that is by the consent of the peo-
pie Of the several States composing the
thirteen original United States. The
people of the several States since admit
ted into the Union, by asking such ad-
mission and takiug their places therein on
the same footing with the original States.
have in like manner given their consent
to the original Federal Constitution and
form Of government.
This consent has been expressed BY
majorities in the several States, and thus,
be considered as the expression of the
will of the whole people of the United
States. Thus, the Federal Government
rests on the consent of the governed, or
on that of the people. This mode of form
ing and adopting Constitution and gov
ernment was the exercise of high and ab-
solute sovereignty on the part of the peo.
ple 1t defined the modes and prescri-
bed the limits within which the will Of
majorities should find expression and
have the force of law in future, and at
the same time carefully guarded the
rights and restrained the action of minor
tiles. 1t is essential to the maintenance
of Government thus formed upon the
consent Of the governed, that minorities
should conform to the will Of maiorities,
when that will has been expressed accor-
ding to the forms and intent of the Con-
stitution. The Government must, and
our Federal Government does, under the
Constitution, possess the power, while
protecting the rights of minorities, to
compel their aquiescence in Federal laws
constitutionally enacted, and their re-
spect for the authority of Federal officers
constitutionally elected and appointed
Without such power there can be no
Union for any beneficial or effective pur-
pose, and no Government of any use save
to consume the peoples earnings.
A minority of the people in this Union
have resisted the execution Of Federal
laws and set at naught the authority of
Federal officers. 1t matters not what
causes Of grievance this minority may
have hao, growing ont OF the action Of
political parties or the legislation of par
ticular States. These may mitigate, but
cannot Justify the crime of resistance to
the will Of the whole people Of the United
States constitntionally expressed. That
will must be enforced as the supreme law,
else the people are incspacitated for self
government; for the capacity of the peo-
pie of the United States, considered as
one nation, to govern themselves, lies in
their ability and determination to make
their will, as manifested in the Cons,itu-
tion and laws in conformity Herewith,
universally respected and obeyed.- Ohio

trail Committee held in Columbus, on the 9th

Resoiped, That IL is expedent to hold a
Democratic State Convention at Columbus, on
Wednesday, August Z, 1891,
to nominate Democratic State Ticket TO be
supported at the October election.
Resoloed, further that all the electors of the
State Of Ohio, who arc In favor OF perpetual
ing the principles upon which our Union was
founded, and are convinced that the present
ate and National Administrations are
wboHy incompetent to manage tho govern
mont in its present critical condition, as we'll
as all who are opposed to the gross extrava.
gance and corruption now so alarmingly
prevalent in public affairs, be earnestly invi.
ted to unite with the Democracy in this hour
OF our country's peril, aud thus redeem the
State, and place its administration in compe.
tent hands.
ReseLped, further, that the basis Of represen-
tation in said Convention DO one delegate
Tor every 500 votes, and an additional dele.
gate for fraction Of $50 and upwards, cast
tor Thomas j. S. Smith, for Supreme Judge
al the October election in 1860, and that It be
recommended that the counties elect their
delegates on this basis.
1he Democracy Of Ohio and all other con-
serVative Union men, who are willing to CO.
operate with them on the above basis, are Ie-
quested to meet in their respective counties
at such time as the local committees may
designate, and appoint delegates to the Dem.
ocratic Convention on the 7th of August, to
nominate State ticket to be supported at
the October election.
IL Is presumed that no lover of his country

him to disc harpe his duty and thcref fore tbo

the counties will eagerly respond to this call
and that an imposing Convention will Assem-.
Die IN Columbus at the time designated above

The DisumiOnists at Work.

A few days ago an nbollonist, OWEN LovEJoy
OF Indiana, introduced in Congress the following
resolution:
Re'oiced That the committee on Judiciary be
instructed to inquire into the expediency of re.
pealing the law commonly called the fugitive
slave law.
The Fugitive Slave law passed under the
administration Of Washington, in 1893, to secure
TO tire slavcholding States their constitutional
rights. in 1850 such men as Clay, Webster,
Cass, Douglas, Crittenden and Fillmore, found it
necessary to amend that law. 1t has been in
force eleven years as then amended and during
that whole time the Aboitionsts have disregard.
ed its provisions and violated it whenever an op.
portunity presented itself BY warfare of acts
and words against the men and institutions of the
South the country has been brought to the verge
of ruin. The Republicans hold the reins of the
government they protest that they have never
given the South any cause to suspect them M ab
olitonists and at war with Southern institutions,
and that any fears the men of the South entertain
that they will not secure all their rights under the
Constitution are wholly groundlcts Now. at
time when the administration should be convincing
ehS uieSoHtcHtS vi tnc 5Outn, anu satisfying con.
servative men both North and South that the
government in the hands of the Republicans will
not be administered to the prejudice of nearly ono.
half of the people Of the Confcderacy the cloven
foot must be shown, and the war against slavery
commenced in the Halls Of Congress But this is
not alone the work Of the fanatic Owen Loveoy.
sixty-two Republican Members of Congress voted
against LAYING the resolution on the table, which
was equivalent to voting for it and thus saying to
the rebellious South that tho suspicions you had
of us arc well founded that you cannot have
your constitutional rights in the Union, and unless
you are willing to be plundered Of your property
and your rights you must continue your rebellion
to the government until every hill and valley IL
stained with blood, the country drained of its
wealth, the people demoralizcd and the glory of
the nation departed. The sixty.two Black Re.
pnblirans who voted with Lovejoy are as base.
traitors to their country as the Yanceys and Da
,iscs Of the South.

integrity Of the Government and not to
rob Southern men or interfere in the
negro question. Various amendments
were made but the prominent features of
he bill were retained.
The bill was subsequently reported to
the house, when the amedments were con-
CURED in, including the following pro-
posed by Mr.. Colfax: All letters written
by soldiers may be transmitted through
the mails without pre- payment of postage,
to be paid by the recipient.
The bill passed at P. NJ. and the
House adjourned.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Three citizens
of Vienna who took refuge in camp at
Falls Church this morning say that Gov.
Letcher issued proclamation requiring
the counties of Fairfax, Prince William,
Loudon, Orange, Stafford, Culpepper and
Rappahannock to furnish 1000 men with
in two days. Ifnot forthcoming the men
are to be drafted. Men say many of their
neighbors will follow to our lines. Ac.
cording to trustworthy reports there are
1000 troops at Fairfax and $500 at Cen.
treville. They are chiefly from Alabama,
South Carolina and Georgia.
Most of the Virginians have removed
back to Manassas.
Union Virginans think no stand will
be made this side of Manassas.

Court, in place OF McLaue, deceased
1t is again rumored that Patterson has
had conflict with johnson.
On the authority of a cabinet officer, il
is stated that an officer of the rebel army
in Western Virginia. had arrived he. {
with a proposition that the majority Of
forces here under the rebel flag should
run up the United States flag and avow
allegiance to the Federal Cove rnment.
He says the ma ajority are loyal at hear,
and are anxious to place themselves under
the flag of their country.
Gen. Mcclellan has been telegraphed
to release privates and non commissioned
officers on simple parole of honor, upon
their subscribing to an oath of allegiance
and pledge not again to take up arms
against the government under penalty OF
death.
AS to commissioned officers he is to
exercise his own discretion, but under no
circumstances is any officer or priva te
formerly in the U. S. army to be released
