WHAT NEXT ?-The Simonpure Unionites
say they have taken Merritt without the Dem
ocratic platform, while the Democracy say
they arc supporting him because he is
Democrat, standing on the Democratic plat
form. The Unionites are willing to take Mer-
rift now and make the platform to suit after
wards-the Democrats are willing to risk the
platform now and afterwards jerk Merritt on
to it, willing or unwilling. 1t is an attempt
to run Union candidates on disunion plat
forms. This attempt to carry water on both
shoulders is indeed delicate piece of bust
ness. The people will spurn all such political
dodgery.-Iowa City Republican.

The BATTLE RECORD, SO FAR-A gentle
man in Lansing, Michigan, who has kept as
accurate account as possible, estimates that
of thirty three battles and more important
skirmishes since the war begun, the Union
men have been victorious in twenty-five, the
rebels in five, while in the remaining six nei-
ther party can claim victory. The number
of prisoners taken by the Unonists is about
5000, and by the rebels not quite so many
OF the killed, it is impossible to obtain any
thing like accurate knowledge Of the losses
of the rebels. The Union loss is something
over one thousand, and the rebel loss is be-
lieved to be twice that number.

S. 0. BUTLER.

Mr.. Editor:-I am glad Mr.. Butler keeps
on writing; but if he '.jumps out of the mut
into the mire'' cannot helpit. Ny reply t.
him need not be long. He says have lad
mittcd the truth of all he charged" Is the
man crazy, or does he think the public fools
I denied what he charged, viz: "a desire to
have our schools conducted on sectarian prin-
| ciples," and have shown, as any one will see
by looking at my former article, that my pol
icy would have prsuented anything Of the
kind
He says Mr.. Doran did not apply, &C., &c.
l stated in my previous reply that | "beleved
both Messrs D. and 0. applied to have their
schools made public ones. l am not able be-
fore this article goes to the printer, to see Mr..
D. to know whether l was right in this i'm
preston rs far as he is concerned; but Mr.. D.
informed me lately that he did apply, in wri-
ting, for this very thing So much for that.
Mr.. B. accuses me Of ''instigating sectarian
appeals" The charge is false, while he is the
one who tries to fiddle on that string by tell
ing Mr.. d. that he will not apply to have his
school come under the control Of the Board,
- long as the Boards composed Of a majority
of Protestosts, implying that were majority
Catholics he would do it. An ungenerous im-
putation on Mr. d. If Mr.. b. had said that
Mr.. d. would not mako this application while
Tho tho srftu IF ktK
Nothings," he might have hit the truth.
"A.r. Woodhouse don't find fault that the
colored children are put in a separate school,"
and never did. But do say, if the Board
compsls the negroes to go into separate
school, it is very ungracious not to alIow, at
their request, the Germans and Irish, who
help to support that separate school, not to
have, under the law, separate schools also.
No member of myfamily was ever "employ-
ed" to teach the colored school, and had this
been the fact, am at loss to see how it
would help Mr.. B.
My claim on the county is under the law
when was elected and took the oath of Office.
If the claim is not good, then I shall be con-
tent with the decision of the court if it is,
then shall consider 1 have got only my just
dues.
Last Thursday saved the county nearly
$4,000.
The lao does not require me to visit schools
and yet have, not unfrequently, done so.-
If any one wants to know what the duties of
my Office are, will cheerfully inform him.
Mr.. B. brings up the high school again.
Now the first time ever mentioned my views
on this subject to members of the Board was
before knew of such man as Mr.. Daymude.
After he came here and found he was the
man we wanted, did suggest to the board
the policy, if he was willing, to adopt his
school as public one land place him in charge
of our city district.
Does Mr.. B. think by his futile attempts to
invalidate my word, (and make this person
al matter) to help his desperate case? Is this
decent? In haste,

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. %.
Gen. Fremont and his staff reached Jeffer-
son City last evening in safety, and was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm.
Welearn that all the Federal troops have
left Boonville for Georgetown.
Just before leaving ST. Louis for the West,
Gen. Fremont wrote letter to a friend in
New York, in which he says:
at is shame to the country, that an Off
Ger going into the field, with his life in his
hand, solely actuated by the desire to serve
his country, and win for himself its good
opinion, and with no other object should be
destroyed by system of concerted attack, ut
terly without foundation. But l never
would have been attacked in my capacity rs
an individual. am an exponent of a part
Of the force of nation, directed against the
enemy of the country"
The appearance of this letter, which is pub
lished in the Democrat this morning, has
greatly increased the feeling against the
Blairs, and general devotion to Fremont

lutte impossibility of aid being rendered Lyon
