a war with US, but these States which re
gard US as brethren, are restrained By the
actual presence Of large armies, the sub
version of civil authority, and the declara-
tion of martial law, the President decla-
ring that in order to execute the laws, some
single law, made in extreme tenderness OF
citizens liberty, may, to limited extent,
be violated. He says the South may well
rejoice that they have forever severed con-
nection with government that thus tram
pies on all principles Of constitutional lib
erty, and with people in whose presence
such an ave wal may be paraded.
He says operations in the field will be
greatly extended by reason Of policy
which, heretofore secretly entertained, is
now avowed and acted on by the United
States. The force hitherto raised proved
ample for the defence of the seven States
which originally organized the Confeder-
acy. Excepting on those fortified islands,
which the enemy's naval force enabled
them to retain, he has been driven out
Now, at the expiration of five months from
the formation of this government, not a
single hostile foot presses their soil. Our
forces, however, must necessarily prove in

million of men now proposed by the
enemy. A corresponding increase Of our
forces, therefore, becomes necessary,

ONF Result ATTAISED.-Taught by
the sharp lesson of the past few days, let
us hope that both sections have been
taught more respect for the prowess of
each other. Let us hope that the bitter
contempt lavished by the orators and pres
ses of both sides on the soldery of either
section will measurably cease, now the
blades of the opposing forces have been
crossed in fierce battle with each other
The taking and retaking of single battery

conflict, tells the tale for both not TO he

hereafter, each will learn that americans
need not be underrated, no matter from

An Exciting Scene in Congress.--What
Gen. Scott said of the Battle.

The debate in the House a few days
since between Messrs. Burnett, Richard
son, Blair and Stevens was highly exciting
and interesting. Mr.. Richardson, Of Hi
nois, concluded his speech as follows: l
regret that Gen. Scott was forced to fight
this battle l will tell the gentlemen
what occurred yesterday morning. My
colleagues, Messrs. Logan, Washburne and
myself were present with the President
aud Gen. Scott and the Secretary of War.
In the course of our conversation General
Scot, remarked, 81 am the biggest coward
in the world" l rose from my seat.
"Stay," said Gen S., 81 will prove it. l
have fought the battle against my judg-
ment, and | think the President ought to
remove me 10 day for doing it.
"As God is my judge" he added. after
an interval of silence, 81 did all in my
power to make the army efficient, and |
deserve removal because did not stand
up, when could, and did not" stand
here to vindicate Gen. Scott. | am in
debted to the gentleman from Missouri for
the compliment he has paid me. l desire
to say for myself that l am here the last
Of a generation, my father and grandfather
having fallen beneath the flag of their
country. l, too, have fought under its
folds at home and abroad, and, God will
ling, there will stand to the end Of my
life, defending it against all foes"
Mr.. Washburne-"As my colleague
has referred to Gen. Scott's remarks, he
might also allude to what the President
said"
Mr.. Richardson Il will do so. Your
conversation implies said the President
to General Scott that | forced you to
battle, to which Gen. g. replied, Il have
never served under a President who has
been kinder to me than you have been.
But Gen. S. did not relieve the President
from the fact of the President having for.
ced him to fight the battle. Gen. S. thus
paid a compliment to the President per-
sonally. l desire to say of the President,
that have known him from boyhood. II
you let him alone he is an honest man,
laughter, but am afraid he has not
irmness to stand up against the politicians
around him."

The Moral Traitors in Congress.

The N. Y. Herald says: The notorious
abolitionis. Lovejoy introduced three res
olutions in the House of Representatives
on Monday last, calling for the repeal of
the Fugitive Slave law; demanding the
expulsion of Major Emory from the army ;
aud debating the course to be pursued by
the Union troops, in relation to slaves.
The House very properly tabled them, al
though sixty>two members were doughfa-
ces enough to vote in their favor. A cou>
pie Of days later, the same Mr.. Lovejoy
returned to the charge again, but content
ed himself with single very absurd pro-
position multiplying in part the Fugitive
Slave law. The doughfaces, in the mean
while, had been reinforced, and by vote
of SO against SIS the resolution was pas
sed. Sheer fear of the abolition element
in the North, and dread Of displeasing the
noisy nobodies who are daily decrying the
administration and its policy, misled the
majority into an act of imbecility Of which
they ought to be heartily ashamed. Com
gress was not convened to fight against
Southern institutions but to maintain the
integrity of the Union, and nothing could
have been more preposserous than for it to
step aside from the plain, beaten track of
duty to endorse the crazy idiosyncrasies
of one of the most rabid Northern seces-
sionists, who has contributed as much as
lay in his power to bring about our pres
ent troubles. Those who voted for Love
joys resolution, equally with those who
support extremists like Burnett, Ben.
Wood, and Vallandigham, mistake pub
lie sentiment entirely. They are like de-
structionists aud secessionists, and are en-
gagged in the unholy work of uprooting
our institutions. Conservatism never was
so dormant throughout the United States
as it is now. II Mr.. Lincoln WAS to &c
before the people tomorrow on the Chi
cago or any other obsolete platform he
would be SO overwhelmingly defeated that
not corporal's guard would be left te
sustain him. Southern ultraism is quite
as unpopular. The masses Of intelligent
people everywhere are raIlying to the sup
port of those principles which were enun
ciated in the late Message to Congress
and which won for Gen. Jackson the ad
lniratiou of the country, in 1882 and 1888
Fanatics are believed to be public enemies
Lovejoy and Burnett are both fanatics
and SO are their associates therefore they
are believed to be enemies to the public
peace and cannot be sustained. The Tn
ion, pure and entire, is the watchword o.
all who comprehend the exigencies Of tn
nation at the present time.

Heenan Challenges All England.

The New York Clipper states that a
few days since, as we arc Informed on what
we consider good authority" John g..
Heenan forwarded a challenge to England
to fight Mace, Hurst, King, or any other
man in England, for the sum of SIC, 900.
1t is also stated that Ucenan's offer en-
braces several other points, viz: that he
(IIeenan) will stake $40. 900 to $4,000, if
Mace Will con e to this country and fight
in Canada; he will give Mace 81 900 to
defray his expenses here; or the Boy will
take $40 1000 to $4,000 and fight in Eng
land, if the Champion of England will pay
Heenan 81 900 to defray his expenses to
that country. These propositions are very
fair and equitable, and certainly cannot
meet with any objection, if the Londoners
are anxious to test the abilities of the Amer
ican once more. In his former trip to
that country the Boy had to defray his
own expenses, which, with those of his
trainers, amounted TO a very large sum
The pecuniary stake at issue was almost
nothing compared to the outlay he was
subjected to while there.
And now as the London sporting press
and some of the prominent sporting men
of tha. city have intimated the readiness
with which Heenan could be accommoda
ted in second match, should he desire
another meeting, he has concluded to cha!
lenge "All England" and for a stake tha
will make it worth while to 'beard TIE
lion in his own den"-a stake that will re
pay him, should he win, for his loss of time
and neglect of business at home. lie bars
no man in England, but will fight the
Champion or any one who aspires to the
office. If London has such confidence il
the invincibilitv of her fighting men as il
pretended, here is an opportunity to pu
the matter to the test The Champion o
England is not bound to fight for more
than f200 (s1,G00) 1t is optional with
him whether he fights for more or less.
1t may be that Mace will refuse to fight
lIeenan on the ground that the stake i
too large. That he has a right to do. But
after all the boasting we have heard ofth
superiority of the British pug over the
American, it is not likely that the none.
will be permitted to stand as an obstacl

How wCoL.CoRcoRAE WAS TAKEN.-It ap-
pears that he went to look after some of
his wounded men, who were in the hos
pital near the battle field, and was taken
while there. We take the following from
a letter received in New York from a
member of this regiment.
"Col. Corcoran acted with the regi-
ment up TO the last, and when all were
reireating tho Colonel formed the regiment
in squares TO receive the charge Of the
rebel cavalry who were pursuing the re,
treating army. Gen. Mcdowell ordered
the square TO be broken, to allow q mum
Der Of garages filed with politicians and
other civilians to pass, after which the
regiment bad no time to form second
time before the enemy's horse was close
up with US, we Lad to retreat with the
others"

Voting in Camp.

A vote was taken last week in Camp
U,ley, in this city. The vote as we are in
formed stood thus: 500 Democrats and
100 Republicans; the field officers being
all Republicans. Some O. our Republican
friends deny the correctness of the vote.
Whether the Democrats are in as large a
majority as stated above we cannot posi-
lively say, but that majority of them
and large majority too-are Democrats,
no one has the hardihood to dispute.
As near as we can learn all the regi-
ments formed in this State are chiefly CON-
posed of Democrats. Why is this Be-
cause Democrats are now, as ever, the true
friends and supporters of the Constitution
and the Union.
The Democratic party is not composed
of men who are e,ernally prating about
liberty, freedom of speech, humanity, the
preservation Of the Union, &C., and when
the Union is in danger stand back and re,
fuse to defend it.
The Democracy had no hand in inaugu-
rating this war, but the men who compose
it are the first and almost the only ones
who take up arms to put down the rebel
lion.
Because Democrats denounced the orig.
inal cause of the rebellion (the nigger
hobby for the sake Of office) they were
stigmatized as traitors, although their ac.
cusers would not lift finger to pu! il
down. These same accusers could mount
the stand and deliver eloquent speeches
refer to our revolutionary fathers, the
blood they spilled to secure free govern
ment. eulogize the glorious stars and
stripes, danounce the secessionists, viliify
the Democratic party, shed tears and slob
Der, but when asked to enlist, out very
few were SO eircumstanced that they could
leave home. They had sick families, were
not able bodied, and offered thousand
and one excuses why it was impossible fol
them to fight FOR the grea; principles which
they advocated.
| No other than the principles always ad
vocated and maintained by the Demo
cratic party can ever save this government
! from destruction .-RQciRe Dcm.

For the Manitowoc Pilot.
The Volunteers Farewell.


Sweetest love, Pm forced to leave thee;
To the war l must away,
My belsved country calls me,
And the call must obey.
Do not weep at my departure,
From your embrace let me flee
To our bold beloved banner
To the ensign of the free.
Tyrants quake whcu they behold 1t,
Rebels at its sight will run,
Like the dew of summer morning
Before the rays of the rising sun.
Soon again twill wavc as proudly
As it ever did before,
From the great Atlantic ocean
To the broad Pacific shore.
When we've wholly laid Secession
In its grave, no more to rise,
Filled with glory I'll return
To cement our fractured ties.
Then united we will travel
On the peaceful path of life,
Hoping that again we'll never
Witness such discordant strife.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC

Sprague, Of Rhode Island, is the only
Northern Democratic Goyernos cast Of

while our one horse !" 4" Badger Boy +"
Governor follows up the rear. In the late
battle at Bulls Run, Gov. Sprague was
the last man to leave the field, and his
last act before leaving it, was to turn
around, AMIDST the shot and the shells Of
the enemy and spike his cannon before
deserting it. How different is this from
the course of our Governor and his friends,
