party Of secession proclivi,ies from foreslrlAe
made an attack upon the entrenched works OF
the " Melon Man" in this strong Union neigh
borhood They scaled the outer parapet, with
out serious loss, and were hotly engaged IN
most me1on-choHc assault, when the aforesaid
Home Guard rallied and suddenly charged upon
the marauders with such force that they broke
ranks and fed in all directions, making strides
and performing evolution such as are not laid
down even in any book of Zouave tactics. Fol
lowing up bis advantage our hero captured one
sccessionst Just as he was endeavorlng to re
mount the parapet. Securing this one IN

A small hotel experience
Which filled my heart with grief:
Last summer, at the Pavilion Hotel,
stopped week or more,
And marked two " boot-ees" every morn
Before my neighbours door;
Two boots with patent leather tips,
Two boots which seemed to say,
" An angel trots around in u.s."
They stole my heart away;
And often in my nightly dreams
They swept before my face
A lady growing out of them
As flowers grow from a vase.
But all one morn saw sight
Which struck me like stone,
Some other name on the book
Those boots were not alone!
A great tall pair of other boots
Was standing by their side,
And OF they walked afternoon
And with them walked-a bride.

Letter From Fremont.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.

DT. LOUIS, Oept. II.
The following will appear in the
Democrat Tomorrow just before leav-
ing the city, Gen. Fremont wrote letter
to friend in New York We have
succeeded in obtaining a copy, which as
it relates to public affairs and possesses
at this time peculiar interest, we COM
nit no improperly in laying it before
our readers:
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26, 1861.
My Dear Sir: leave at eight in the
morning, and send you this hurried
note in the midst of the last arrange
mcnts before starting. We have to con-
tend with an enemy having no posts to
garrison, no lines of transportation to
defend or guard, whose whole force can
be turned at will to any one point,
while we have from Leavenworth to
Cairo, and from Fort Scott to Paducah,
to keep protected.
| wish to say to you, that though the
position is difficult, l am competent to
it and to the enemy in the field. I am
not able at the same time to attend to
the enemy at home. 1t is a shame to
the country that an officer going into
the field, his life in his hand, solely
actuated by the desire to serve his
country and win for himself its good
opinions with no other object, should
he destroyed by system of concerted
attacks utterly without foundation
Charges arc spoken of when there are no
charges; explanations where there are
none to be made. What is the object
of the repetition of these falsehoods, ex-
cept to familiarize the public mind to
the idea that something is wrong?
Already our credit, which was good,
is shaken in consequence of the news
paper intimations of my being removed.
Money is now demanded by those
furnishing supplies. To defend myself
now would require the time that is ne
cessary to and belongs to my duty against
the enemy.
If permitted by the country this state
of things will not fail to bring on dis
asters. But [ never would have been
attacked in my capacity as an indiyid-
ual.
am an exponent Of part Of the
force of the nation directed against the
enemy of the country. Everything that
is directed against me is directed against
it, and gives its enemy aid and comfort
My private character comes in only in
cidentall VI defend it because naturally
his reputation is dear to any man, but
only incidentally.
This is the foundation of many of my
acts, and will be if l stay here. Every
thing that hurts, impedes or embarrass-
es the work intrusted to me, I strike ii
without hesitation. l take the conse
quences. The worst that can happen to
me is relief from great labor.
Yours truly, j. c. Fremont.

What We Think, and Why

WE THINK, and therefore place it
upon record for future reference by all
concerned, that the partisan Democratic
ticket in Ohio, will be beaten, On Tues
day next, by at least SERENITY Jive thousand
majority, Many of our readers will
think US wild in this estimate. But we
think, nevertheless, that we are ,vithin
the figures, decidedly.
Some of our reasons for this opinio n
are, that as the ticket ought to be so
beaten, it therefore will be. And this
opinion is founded upon this further be-
iet, that the masses of the Democrats
are honest, and very many of them in
telligent enough to see the position in
which the Vallandighams and Meda1ies
have placed the party, and have patriot
ism enough to repudiate that position,
and cast their votes in such way as to
give assurance to the loyal men of all
the States, and the friends of free insti-
tutiens in other countries that, in Ohio
at least, the people are capable of self
government.
Such, in brief, is our deliberate opin-
ion. Our readers are at liberty to paste
it in their hats. And if our prediction,
as to the vote, does not prove true, we
will frankly acknowledge that, in our
abounding charity, we oyer-estimated
the virtues, upon the assumed existence
of which, we based our estimate.

Very Appropriate.

Fanatieal as are the leaders of the
Southern rebellion, they yet blunder
upon some things of rare fitness. And
among all the proper things they have
done, none is SO appropriate as the lay
ing out Of the bodies of the rebel Off
GERS, who were killed at Manassas,
"around the statue of Calhoun in Rich
mond, as described in the Richmond pa
pers. Could anything be more signii-
cant? Never were victims laid upon a
filter altar. Through long public ca
reer, Calhoun bent all his subtle genius
to erect the altar Of treason. lie dies
without seeing the fruition Of his life
long conspiracy. His devotecs rear a
monument to his memory, and placing
his statue upon it, gatsssn their hosts to
strike down the Government in obedi-
ence to his Instructions. Foiled in the
undertaking, the officers who lost their
lives in the attempt arc brought to the
foot Of his statue, a bloody offering to
the God Of the Secessionists.

Important Fact About Compromise.

The Crawford Bulletin, a Democratic
paper in Southern Illinois, makes the
following important disclosures:
"We are informed by a gentleman
just from the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict, that there has been a complete
revolution among the people on the war
question. Hon. John A. Logan, Con-
gresham from that District, has been
appointed Colonel, and has his regiment
about ready to take the field. Many
who few days ago were of the compro-
mise stamp, are now enthusiastic for
the war. Logan declares that he and
other compromising men in Congress
met in secret conclave, and determined
to make last effort. They sent May
to Richmond to ascertain if the Confed-
crates would entertain, accept or offer
any compromise. No compromise could
be agreed upon, the Rebels utterly re-
fusing, even though blank sheet of
paper be given them to write their own
terms. Logan declares their intention
is to fight, and calls upon all Democrats
to rally around the old flag, and thwart
them in their diabolical efforts to de-
stroy the Government.
This throws light upon an important
point, namely: why May, the Baltimore
Congressman, went to Richmond just
before the meeting of the special session
of Congress. The above revelation
makes it all clear.-Chicago Tribune.

was armed with two double barrel shot

The pickets report that the Cavalry
have seized the horse of John G. Breck-
inridge, and have him (Breckinridge)
surrounded in orn-feld, with the GER
tainty of capture. I hope this may be
true. The Secessionists in this part of

Unsafe.

1t is becoming unsafe, decidedly for
Northern "Secesh'' to pour their COM
forting sympathy into the bosoms of
their Southern allies, by way of letters.
Almost every arrest of Southern Trai-
tor leads to the arrest of some of his
Northern acconplices. There are seve-
raj hundred of these secret Northern
Tories now in prison, whose treason
was discovered by their letters found in
possession of the more manly open
Rebels who have been, from time to
time, captured. The Seizure, by the
Government, of the records and files of
the telegraph Offices has also furnished
a rich mine. Many plotting villain,
who supposed his tracks were covered,
is now confronted with these indubita-
BILE evidences of his guilt. And many
more are shaking in their shoes. "Mur-
