Capt. Jennings.

Joseph 7. Jennings, one of the dis I'm.
ion, Republican, no party candidates for
Assembly, in this district, was, short
time ago, the Captain of a Rife Company
in Mahoopany, (the town in Wyoming
county in which he resides, and as we are
informed, the Company of which he was
Captain, offered to volunteer their services
for the war, but Capt, Jennings finding
that the Company desired to 60 at on ce to
the seat of war, made the excuse that he
could not leave for month, during which
time he could arrange his business SO as
10 leave. The company willing to accom-
modatc their patriotic captain, agreed to
wait for him that length of time; upon
which he made the further excuse that, ho
could not leave until after corn husking in
December. This satisfied the members Of
the company of his patriotism and bravery
and many of them have now volunteered
into service in other companies, while the
brave and courageous quasi Capt. Jen'
nings, remains at home to vend tape aud
Molasses, catch votes and vilify Democrats

CHANGED THEIR NAME.-The " Re.
publican" party is to be known no more
forever. In less than six months after
their access to power, the great Republican
party has been compelled to assume new
name, in the vain attempt thus to hide its
rotten and destructive principles. But it
won't do. They have the same look,
smell and taste they had last fall and a
simple change of name will not be sufficient
to commend them to popular favor. Last
fall they laughed at the idea of the Union
being in danger. But now that the nation
is weeping over the effects, they seek to
hide themselves under the name of the
"Union Party"-thc Unconditional Union
Democracy" &C., &c. But we tell them it
will not work. THEY ARE KNOWN.
and the people will be as careful not to
vote for them under their nea0 name as
they would be if they had retained the one
they have so shamcfully disgraced.

LLoYDs WAR MAP.-We have re-
ceived from Mr.. James T. Lloyd, Pub.
Usher, of New York, copy of his map Of
the Southern States, which embraces the
entire seat of war. 1t is admir- ably, and
we think, truthfully gotten up, and at a
time like the present, when all minds are
excited upon the great subject of the war
it must prove to be highly popular. The
copy sent us, we presume, is sold for 81
which can be obtained by inclosing that
amount to james Il. Lloyd, New York

Who ENCOURAGES THE SOUTH The
Democrats tell the Southern rebels that
the entire North is determined to put down
rebellion, and that this unanimous North
has the power to do it. The Democrats
tell the Union men of the South to stand
firm, that their rights shall be protected
and if not sufficiently secured at present
additional guarantees will be given.
The Republicans assure the Southern
rebels that large number of the Northern
people sympathise with them and wish
them success. The Republicans say to the
Southern Union men, they shall have nc
further guarantees for their rights, and
those they have already will not be further
respected than events render necessary.
Who, then, are the true friends of the
National cause !! Who is acting wisely ant
patriotically?

Re. arrest of Col. Blaiy--GeneraI Scott
Orders his Release.

Re. arrest Of Col. Blair General Scolt
Orders his Release.
From facts ascertained, it appears that
on Wednesday last General Fremont re-
leased Col. Blair from arrest, using lam
guage in the order tantamount to def
ance of the Colonel to present his charges
formally. On Thursday Colonel Blair
presented charges formally against Gen.
Fremont, in response to the Defiance
Thereupon General Fremont Immediately
arrested Colonel Blair and sent him to
Jefferson Barracks. On Friday night the
telegraph was allowed to communicate the
fact that Blair had been freed from arrest
the previous Wednesday, but the offensive
paragraph in the order of release was sup
pressed, and the fact of Colonel Blair s
second arrest withheld.
The army regulations allow no officers
to be arrested for a longer period thai
eight days, without charges being preferred
General Fremont disregarded the regula
tions in the case of Colonel Blair. Aftel
this violation of the regulations, secont
arrest for the same cause, and withou
charges, has attracted attention aud caused
much remark. The great fact in relation
to this case is that General Scott to-da,
ordered the unconditional release Of Col
Blair.

FORTRESS MONROE, Jun


The special correspondent Of the Amer
lean returned from Fortress Monroe this
morning with full report of battle at
Great Bethel.
For some days past General Butler had
I been advised Of movements Of eonsidera-
lie body Of confederate troops in the Vi
entity Of Great Bethel which il about
twelve miles from the Fortress, near the
road conducting 10 Yorktown. Believe
ing from reliable reports that they had
thrown up entertainments and generally
extended their outer line Of pickets, lie
determined after consultation with other
officers, to drive them away and accord
ingly gave orders TO several regiments to
ihold themselves in readiness TO march at
moments warning. At the same time
the chief of the ordnance department re-
ceived orders to send battery of howit-
GERS which was soon under line Of march.
About midnight Col Durye's Zouaves
and Col. Townsend's Albany regiment,
crossed the river at Hampton by means of
six large batteaux manned by the naval
brigade'and took up the line Of march
the former about two miles in advance Of
the latter. At the same time Col. Ben
dix's regiment and detachments of the
Vermont and Massachusetts regiments at
Newport News, moved forward TO form a
4 junction with the regulars from Fortress
Monroe at Little Bethel about half way
between HAMPTON and Great Bethel.
I The Zouaycs passed Little Bethel about
four o'clock A M.
Col. Bendx's regiment arrived next,
and took a position at the intersection Of
the roads.
Not understanding the signal, the regi-
lment, in the darkness Of the night, fired
upon Col. Townsend's column, marching
I in close order and led by Lieut. Butler,
son and aid Of Gen. Butler, with two pieces
4 of artillery.
Other accounts say Townsend's regi-
ment fred first AT all eyeats4he fire Of
the Albany regiment was harmless, while
that Of the Germans was fatal, killing one
man and wouuding seriously two others,
with several other slight Casualties.
The Albany regiment being back Of the
G. rmans, discovered from accoutrements
left on the field, that the supposed enemy
we're friends.
They had in the meantime fired nine
rounds with small arms and a field piece.
The Zouaves hearing firing turned and
also fired upon the Albany boys.
At day-break Col Aliens and Col.
Cars regiments moved from the rear Of
the Fortress to support the main body, the
mistake at Little Bethel having been as
lceriained.
The buildings were burned and Ma
jor with two prominent secessionists made
prisoners.
The troops then advanced upon Great
Bethel in the following orders
Zouayes, Col Bendix, Lieut. Col Wash
burn, Col. Allen, and Col. Carr. AT that
point our regiments formed and success
sively endeayored to take large masked
secession battery.
The effort was futile, our three small
pieces Of artillery not being able to cope
with the heavy riAed cannon Of the enemy,
according to some accounts being thirty in
number.
