Sometime ago we thought Of saying word in
relation to doubtiny ultra Republicans. They are
the most doubling or suspicious people on earth
In fact, they are like the old woman who said
to her son, ,"you must not bciere hafyou or any
Minq you heor." When Major ANDERSON was hem
cd in Fort Sumter the Republicans doubted his 10y
altiy--yes, they charged out openly that he was a
traitor. Nothing short of his noble defence OF
the Fort could convince these rabid fanatics that
the Major was true patriot and lover Of his
country. Gen. HARNEY was called to Missouri al
a time when rebellion run high; and he was
there only II few days when he brought peace
out of chaos and for this good work he became
n doubtful General, and was laid on the shelf fol
another man, all to suit Blair Gen. Wool, an
other of the great American Generals, was moi
in high repute in the Republican ranks, it is said
because he would not assist the land sharks in rob
bing the government. Gen. SCoTT too--the cap
tain of his country's battes--the truest Of the
true patriots, had to come in for an abundant
share of the abuse of those doubling, Abolition
devils. No man short of endorsing fight upon
the Constitution and against slavery however 10y
nj to his country, or willing to stand by the old
Unon was safe from the SANDER of these most
dangerous and contemtbe peace destroyers.--
These Williams went along doubling every honest
man IS loyalty, more to destroy the Union than tc
ptDtect our government. Every Union man will
remember that these doubling fools were opcr
advocates Of a dissolution of the states until now
when they are anything secretly to bring about
the same thing. Don't you see that all thci'
doubts are against the Union and its defenders

Oh, N0!--Fhcrc is no part.

The Republican Central Committee o
Seneca county are trying to draw the
Democracy of this county into "maShed
Jattery." They pretend there is "no
party" now
Mr. Lincoln does not agree with his
fuglemen in this county, as witness the
following:
ID. @. Morrow. who for tventy Sir
gears has been Post Master at Tyro,
Crawford County, has been removed and
a republican appointed
Old Father MYERS, who has been Post
Master at Carey, Wyandot County, for
eighteen gears, has been removed and a
republican appointed.
Neither of these offices are worth over
800. But the old gentlemen were
Democrats. They had to walk the plank!
Why? 50 M0t there should be no party
but the great R-e-p-ub-l-i-c-a-n party!

Cool InDUdencP,

The Ohio State journal tells us upon
what terms the "Union party" is to be

"Iet the Democrats manifest, a steady
devotion to the Administration, and a
generous confidence in the Republicans
and we shall gladly and cordially fuse
with them"
"Steady devotion" and generous conf

Tennessee has sent into the field, and was
attached to the 14th Regiment. commanded
BY Col FORBES The whole regiment was
distinguished for the size and soldierly bear
ing of the men, and no company ranked
higher than that of Capt BEAUMoNT's When
this company passed through this place on
the march TO Virginia. it commanded especial
admiration. No one who saw its accomplish
ed commander then, in the vigor of man
hood and ambitious of distinction. would
have anticipated for him death from disease.
They would rather have expected him, if
be fell, 10 fall in some chiyalrous encounter
with the foe. But that Inflated, and appa-

FAIRFAX, G.. III. Oct. 13.-One of our
soldiers just escaped from Washington,
brings the intelligence that Gen. .McClel-
Ian has an army of one hundred and
twenty thousand infantry, ten thousand
cavalry, and one hundred batteries. He
is waiting to drill the two latter arms of
the service. A general attack is not con-
templated until the middle of November.
His policy is to advance in three col
umns, a mile at time and to fortify as
he proceeds. -. -
Several tons of bales soaked in turpen-
tine have been provided, with which the
troops intend burning the woods after
the leaves are fallen. Their object being:
first, to smoke out masked batteries; Sec
ond, to illuminate in case of a night at

Fort Ellsworth and other Notifications
have been mined.
The commanders of the q. S. forces on

On their way up they came across the Yam

with coal, deserted, and be captured and
brought her along. All the vessels arrived

the iron on her sides to at least that dis
lance. She drew off from the collision with
out trouble, though she undoubtedly twisted
the current, for il is found broken and bent
to one side. The balls which struck her
bounded off without effecting any damage,
except ia one case, when a ball hit on the
bluff of the bow aud made an ugly, though
not serious, dent the ireB.4 1t is-said that
the balls from the Richmond's broadside fell
upon her like hail on house-top, for while,
but to-day nothing of this can be sem. ex-
cepting the dent above mentioned. The ac-
cident which happened to her machinery dis
abled her propeller, and she was, consequent
ly, almost unmanageable. yet it was not OF
nature to require more than day or two to
repair. She went into dock yesterday after
noon at Algiers. If that accident had not Oc-
Cured she undoubtedly would have sunk the
whole of the enemy's feet. But what is de.
ferred lis not lost. 1t is supposed that the
vessel upon which she ran was saved from
sinking Immediately by tightening her for
ward; as IL is, she lies on the bar in twelve
feet water, on her beam ends, a complete
wreck. The Richmond was seen to be taking
out her stores and dismantling her.
There were two transport sailing vessels
outside when our feet hove in sight, but
they did not wait for the termination of the
action, hosting all sail and leaving in double
quick.
There were great many reports about
town yesterday las to the extent OF the injury
received by the Manassas in the collision, and
many made them out of a fearful nature. We
were informed by an experienced steamboat
man, who was aboard and examined her
critically. that in two days she can be fixed
up better than ever, and that this collision
has pointed out weak points, so that proper
remedies can be applied where experience
teaches they are needed. '-'H' 80 : .
In relating the above facts we will remark
that we got them from an eye witness OF the
battle, and gentlemen of intelligence and
veracity. They can therefore be relied on.
This victory is really so marvellous that We
shall attend with no little curiosity, the Yam
kee reports OF it. 1t must be expected that
there will be tall lying about the. number OF
| our forces, the damage done TO them, and a
covering up of all loses on their side. Well,
