The War News.


Nothing Of a startling nature has taken place
in the vicinity Of Washington since the affair
at Bulls Run. The Government has been en-
ergetcally, but quietly Strengthening the forti-
hcations around Washington and recognizing
the army. Gen. Mcclellan has taken command
oil the Grand Army, and is introducing the most
thorough reforms and discipline in all its de-
partments. 1t is now said that there are 10000
soldiers in the vicinity of Washington; $4,000
at Harper's Ferry, and 10000 at Baltimore. No
aggressive movements will be made from that
direction until the army is increased to 100000
No fears are entertained Of an attack on WASH
ington Nothing would suit Gen. Scott better
than to have an attempt made TO capture the
city, as an attacking army would be overwhelm-
ed and destroyed.
All the telegraphic news of interest will be
found below:
Washington, July 81.
Seven additional regiments have gone up
to tho Chain Bridge this morning, where
three or four are now posted. There are
fresh indications of the Inauguration of a
more vigorous policy. The country may
feel confidence now that there is earnest
ness and energy in every department of the
War Office.
General Mcclellan inspires and super
vises everything.
Gen. Mcclellan expresses tho opinion
that this will be an artillery war, and asks
for as many batteries as it is possible to
provide.
A regiment has been sent by Gen.
Mcclellan to extend the line of pickets
along the Potomac from here to Harpers
Ferry. This will eusure early notice of any
movements there and will put an end 10
their correspondence with Maryland.
To-day the names of the following gen.
tlemen were sent to the Senate to be con-
firmed as Brigadier Generals: Col. Heint-
zeiman, Col. Porter, Col. Franklin Stone,
Lieut.. Col. Sherman, Joseph Hooper, Of
California, Capt. U. s. Grana, of Illinois,
F. W. Lander, of Virginia, Senator Baker
of California, Col. Kelley, of Virginia, and
Hon. John A. McClernand, of Illinois,
They take precedence in the order in which
they are named.
The delegation in Congress from the
State of Few York recommend Maj Double
day, Col. Blenker and Capt. Seymour, of
the Fort Sumter garrison, Colonels Duryea
and Slocum, Gen. Burnett and Capt. Veil,
for Brgadierships.

Loyalty of the Reserve.

We have seen it stated in several Democratic
papers that but one company from Ashtabula
county-athe hot bed of Abolitionism has
enlisted in the service of their country, and that
they are nearly all Democrats. Now the truth
is, Ashtabula county is represented by four
companies; one of artillery and three of infan-
try. The first gun fired on the rebels at Phil
lippi, was by the Ashtabula artillery company,
which went forward Immediately at the Gov
ernor's order. As to the political complexion
of these companies, in view of the charge that
the Republicans had stayed at home, the editor
of the Sentinel has taken some pains to examine
the muster rolls, and says that neither Douglas
nor Breckenridge got on an average four votes to
the company, ofthe entire number enlisted. The
number of Democrats in the four companies is
thirteen. In conclusion, the Sentinel says: 1--WE
have no disposition to make inviduous compar-
isons of the patriotism of parties in this respect;
but since the subject is opened it is but right to
state the facts, and but for the persistent lying
of those papers, they need not have been stated.
In addition to the companies named above
Ashtabula county has now nearly ready reg
imenT Tor the three years service. AS the De:
mocracy muster but about 900 out of the 6,50C
voters in the county, they will hardly claim that
this regiment of 1000 men is composed princi.
pally of Democrats.

The Kanavvha Campaign. G

From the Cincinnati papers we gather
the intelligence that Gen. Cox is having the
most complete success in driving tho forces
of Gov. Wise out of the Kanawha Valley.
They left Charleston in the greatest precip-
itation, leaving some portion of their stores
behind them. They bad pillaged and plum
dered the inhabitants to such an extent
that the Union forces had most cordial
and hearty welcome to Charleston as de-
liverers from hated scourge At last ac-
counts Gen. Cox was in pursuit of the rebel
forces, and it is to be hoped he has already
been successful in dispensing them or TAX
ing large portion of them prisoners. Tho
foe however, is willy one, and demand
prudence and caution to overcome them
and reap the fruits of victory. The success
of Gen. Cox and his forces will 90 far to-
wards opening a way down into Tennessee
and cutting off an important Railroad
route to the Secessionists.

Thank God For Thnt.

Whatever may be thought and whatever
may be said in regard to the Manassas bat
tie, one thing is clear through all, the sol.
diers ofthe Union fought bravely and fought
well. If a part of the army became in,
volved in the panic and the fight, they had
already given abundant assurance of their
bravery and their gallantry. Thank God
their was no cowardice on the part of our
soldiers, our enemies themselves being the
judges. Prodigies of valor were wrought,
which in other days would have immortal
lied many hero. 1t only remains to gath
er from that defeat the permanent fruits Of
victory! We believe they will be gathered
not many days hence. Meanwhile, all hon
or to the brave ones who fought so well at
Manassas, and we're only defeated because
mere men cannot accomplish impossibilities

Speaking Of tho action Of the Republi-
can Central Committee, and the duty Of
Democrats in connection Herewith, the
Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
Thus they dismiss their political organi-
sation and fall back into the ranks of the
people, and leave the other political organ
ization to follow suit or fight the people,
As the Democratic Convention will meet
on the 9TH Of August, we confidently OK
pect that the propositions will be accepted
and the great work of the Nations saliva
tion be allowed to override and supercede
all local wranpliug and chickering's. The
onus Of giving to the war united front in
Ohio, is now on the Democracy, and let us
meet the proposition in the spirit with
which it was made, feeling and knowing
that the great State Of Ohio is for the pres
ervation Of this glorious Union, intact, and
will so decide at the polls, if untrammeled,
by majority that will place the balance of
tho vote in the list of Scattering"
We know that old stagers, old political
hacks of all parties, will struggle hard
against coming down to a level with the
masses in the management Of making nom
nations. They will yield up the wireS as
they would yield up life itself.
The great ship Of the Union is in sink
ing condition, and we decidedly prefer to
pump together rather than to perish to-
gether.
Let us say with Douglas:-
"There is no personal or party sacrifice l
would not make for my country"

Violating Parole,

We learn through tho Pittsburgh Dis
patch of the 25th that Gen. Mcclellan has
gone to work in earnest to stop the perjury
and villainy of the secession traitors, by
having twelve of them shot at Beverly on
Monday, for violating their parole. 1t is
stated that our troops had captured num-
Der of prisoners, ninety of whom were re-
leased on taking the oath not again to bear
arms against the United States. Within
forty-eight hours after theirrelease guerilla
attack was made on a government train,
and musician from Ohio killed. Our
troops subsequently, made sally and cap
tured a number of prisoners, among whom
were twelve of the peJured rebels, and af-
ter full investigation, Gen. Mcclellan or.
dered them to be shot as stated. We OBJ.
serve that the same decisive course is being
pursued by the Missouri commanders to-
ward the like class of scoundrels there, and
as it is in entire accordance with the estab-
lished laws of war, no complaint can be
made by the military commanders of the
rebel forces, nor any provocation derived for
ill-treating honorable prisoners Of our side.

From Missouri.

KANSAS CITY, July 27.
Col. Weir, commanding U. S. troops, ar
rived here this mornig. From him We hear
accounts of skirmish with 800 mounted
rebels, at Harrisonville, Mo-, on the night
of the 25th inst.
The rebels were discovered posted on the
hills surrounding the town, and were attack
ed by Capt. Williams with so men, killing
six of the rebels and losing two of his own
force.
After the third round the enemy fed
precipitately, some of them throwing away
their guns.
On the following morning the Federal
troops, under command of Major Van Horn,
took possession of the town and erected the
stars and stripes over their Court House.
Having recalled the orders to withdraw,
they returned to this place, where portion
of them will be detailed as escort TO the
Governmental trains for the southwest. Sew
eral stores we're said to have been ransaeked
by United States forces, but Col. Weir pro-
nounces the statement without foundation.
1t is stated that the enemy in the coutry
surrounding Harrisonyile, number from
900 to 1000.
FoRsYTHE, Taney Co., Mo-, July 2S.
Gen. Sweeney's command, which left
Springfield last Saturday, arrived here to-
day and dispersed band of hundred and
fifty rebels stationed here, and took possess
ion of the town. Five of the rebels were
killed and several wounded. Three of our
men were slightly wounded, but mono killed.
The first and second stories of the Court
House here were filed with blankets, pro.
visions, camp equipage, &c, which together
with two tons Of lead found in well, and
other articles secreted in different parts Of
the town, in all valued at between eighteen
and twenty thousand dollars, fell into our
hands. Mr.. Mickey, correspondent of the
New York Times, was slightly wounded
ST. LOUIS, July 80.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
Gen. Watkins who has been in command
of the rebel forces in Southeast Missouri,
some time past, resigned Saturday last and
strongly urged all his troops to disband, and
have nothing more to do with this rebellion
Watkins is man of large property, and
the reason assigned for his sudden change
is the contemplated passage of the Confs-
cation bill by Congress.

I~PoRTANT ACTION or THE REPUB-

hAJAN CENNHAL COMMITTEE.
The Republican State Central Committee, at
its session in Columbus, on Thursday last, had
the following action
wHRREAs, Is the duty Of all citizens In time Of ma.
lonsl peril to lay aside all differences Of political opin-
Ion and unite In defence Of their government therefore
RssoiUed That Il Il not expedient TO call Con-
vsntion OF the Republican party for the nomination Of
officers to be chosen at the coming State election.
Resolved That the Democratic Central Committee be
requested to unite with this Committee in call for
joint delegate convention for the purpose Of nominating
suitable State Ticket and that the call be addressed
all who are In favor Of the unconditional preservation o
the Union OF the States Of the maintenance ofthe integ
y OF the National Government and Of the vigorous and
continued prosecution Of the carried for that
purpose And that the proposition TO said Committee
be made by the Executive Committee.
RsOved That In the event Of the refusal Of the Dem
ocrac Central Committee TO accept the proposition for
union by the 9th OF August the Executive Committee s
directed to issue TO the People OF Ohio call for Con-
venton OF Delegates TO nominating convention, to DO
chosen without reference to party upon the simple basis
sion Of the rebellion against It.
Rssoired That the Secretary be requested to furnish
copies OF the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the
papers OF this city, and that the Press Of all parties In
the State be invited to publish the same,
We think the above action of the Committee
will meet with very general approval by the
Republicans of Ohio. 1t is certainly satisfacto.
ry to the Republicans in this vicinity The
proposition to the Democratic Committee il
proper, and if accepted in good faith, will give
the greater strength to the movement; but suct
acceptance is more than the recent action Of that
body warrants us to expect.
The policy recommended in case of the re.
fusal of the Democratic Committee to accept
the offer. is the one, in our Judgment best cal.
culated to unite the loyal sentiment of the State
in harmonious action.
