The Beauties OF the Telegraph Reports.
The Northern press reaping the fruits of the
present telegraph system conducted by the
Government, and appear to be getting heartily
tired of it.
The following is taken from the Syracuse (N.Y.)'
Daily Union and Courier:
The newspapers are obliged to depend on the tele-
graph for the from the seat of war, and as of
course readers know that General Scott and
the Bob o Links of the Administration have taken
the wires in their own hands, nothing can be ex-
pectcd in this region from the seat of war but
great disasters and defeat to the rebels with bril-
liant victories and ''nobody hurt" attending the
Federal troops. AS with the battle of Laurel Hill
in Western Virginia, we have bad fOur different
accounts of it over the wires each cnntradicting
the other. Lincoln and Scott have taken lessons
of the British in recording the battles of the Cri
mea to advantage. After several hours of
sharp fighting the rebels defeated with a loss
Of 300 killed, 900 wounded, thousand so pris-
Oners, and the balance of the rebel force are Civ
said to have retreatedru. .~h', while our army is
killed and fourteen wounded. 'nUw;'h, b" fAinht
gent reader can reconcile these facts, when
our troops are led up to face masked batteries
that pour destructive shower of balls and bullets
into their advancing ranks, is more than we are
able to conjecture. But we suppose this is done
for some wise purpose, known only to the Admin
istrati0n and General Scott The old hero saws So
and It's all right. Our readers are heartily sick
OF the false and contradictory telegraph REPORTS
They put to shame the on"-sided reports of the
English press duriug the progress of the Crmean
war, and the people this side of the Atlantic
then complained loudly and bitterly of the cheat
The people of Europe have better facilities and
hundredold more intimate with the condi-
tion of affairs and the progress of the rebellion in
the Southern States than we of the North are
This is nice state of things for a free PEOPLE,
With the Southern mails cut off, and tue telegraph
wires in the hands of the G. uvernmeut our readers
should take the news with all due allowance.
The real and unbiased progress of the civil war
will not be known until il is faithfully recordad in
impartial history.
The Clergy in New York.
The Rev. DIR. Hoge, associate with Reverend DR..
Spring, of the Brick Presby teran Church, has
been forced to resign his position by the camors of
the war party in DR.. Springs Church. The crime
of DR.. Hoge is that he refused to pray for the
cess of this wicked unholy. unconstitutional, sub
jugating wary T. Day Book.

We learn from CORRESPONDENT in st. Louis that
a company of Lincoln's Home Guard amused them
selves on Sunday by suppressing the California

Ohio Democratic State Convention
We have seen but one of the eighty or ninety
Democratic papers of Ohio that does not approve
of the following call of the Democratic State Cen
tral Committees
"Rcs ired. That it is expedient to hold Democratic
State Convention at Columbus on Wednesday August7,
1861 TO nominate Democratic State ticket to be sup
ported at the October election.
'Resolr2d, further That all the electors Of the State
of Ohio, who in favor of perpetuang principles
upon which our Union was founded, and convinced
that the State and National Administrations
wholly incompetent TO manage the Government in its
present critical condition, well all who opposed
to the gross extravaganza and corruption alarm
ingly prevalent in public affairs, be earnestly invited to
unite with the Democracy in this hour of country's
peril aud thus redeem the State and place the Admins
tration in competent hands."-Ctnctnnatt Ddfiy En-
