care of the enemy interfered too
mnch with attention to themselves.
1t is somewhat difficult to give an
appropriate name to this battle field.
The battle of the Thursday previous
is generally called the battle of Bull
Run. This may be known rs the
second of the same name. Themai
fighting was, however, at some dis
tance both from the Run and the
Stone Bridge, after which latter some
have proposed to name the battle
Some have suggested the "Battle of
Manassas" as the name, but that point
was still farther distant. For want
of a better designation, and as Bull
Run formed the front of battle to
both great lines, apart from those en-
gagged in the fanking movement, we
know no better than to call it the sec
ond battle Of Bull Run, unless we
shall have an official report which
shall assign it another title.

Richmond, July 27.-Itis rumorea
here to-day that the number of small
arms captured at Manassas, including
five thousand found in boxes in ;hv
captured wagons, is between twenr.

The Northern Press on the Manas-
SaS Riot.

The Cincinnati Enquirer sums up
the indignation Of the abolition press;
as follows:
The Republican papers that have
been hallowing, "Ho! for Rich
mond!" now that disaster has follow
ed their demand, want to blame
somebody for their foolish advice, but
are at loss to know whom to pounce
on. Greeley puts it on the cabinet,
and demands the immediate retire
ment of the whole batch of incapa-
bles. The New York Times is dis
posed to hold the President response
ble for the disaster. The New York
Herald believes that the cabinet and
the devil are responsible parties. The
Cincinnati Commercial and the In
dianapolis Journal are inclined to
make Gen. Scott the scapegoat. The
Journal thus disposes of General
Scott:
eff Gen. Scott did it, he is not the
man for the crisis. If he did it fear
fully and hesitatingly, under the
clamor Of the New York press, he is
still not the man he ought to be-
= \
1t is no alleviation Of that mat
ter to say that the General may not
have known that the enemy was so
strong. 1t was his business to know,
at least to an approach with exact
ness
We notice that other Republican
papers are also very severe on Scott.
1t seems that the President and CALI
net demanded Of Gen. Scott, that he
should make the forward movement,
and they made the demand under an
outside pressure of Republican Sena-
tors, congressman and politicians
which they could not resist. And we
are further told that Gen. Scott now
deeply regrets that he did not throw
up his commission instead Of yield
ing to the demands of the President
and cabinet. These latter are the
parties who will be held responsible
for the disaster, The country will so
hold them, because it looks to them
as the ones having the whole author
ity in the premises. The Republi-
cans will, however, generally, put
the blame on Gen. Scott.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

A large and respectable meeting OF the
Democrats of Ferguson township was held
at the Broadway School House on Satur-
day the l4th inst. On motion, albert
YouyG was called to the chair, and Will
liam Wise, John Campbell and Henry
Hockenbery Vice Presidents, and Daniel
Cooser and George Straw, Secretaries.
The following Democrats were selected
committee to draft resolutions: George
M5Cracken, William Wise, George Straw,
f. Cortez Bell, Bernard Armstrong, Veter
Thompson and John ID. Miller, who, after
q short absence, reported the following:
Resolved, That we are opposed 10 the
waging of war for tho abolition 0T Slavery
under the name AID rretext of war for
Tie Union; believing, as we do, that it
will inevitably destroy the Union, and
bring the country TO irretrieva5le ruin.
Rcso1ced That we regard the cultivation
of Sectional feelings and prejudices, and
the formation of Sectional parties, as in
direct opposition to the wise counsels OF
the Father Of his Country as tending di-
rectly 10 the dismemberment of our once
happy Union-to the rending asunder OF
our iraiernal bonds-.to the destruction Of
the foundation on which our government
rests-and as the cause of the present dis
tracted state cf affairs in this once happy
country.
/ Resolved, That the reconstruction OF the
Union by force, in view Of the embit:ered
feeling and the hostility OF the united
strength of eleven States, is in our opin-
ion an utter impossiblity and even If the
levolted States should be subjugated they
can be held TO their allegiance only by
changing our government to an unlimited
monarchy and while pursuing this delu'
sion of reuniting tho States by coercion, a
large standing army has been raised for
the purpose-the freedom of speech has
been abridged-the righ, of the press teen
suppressed, either by mob or some gov"
ernment officer the right of protection oi
person by habedS corpuS--the rights o! safe
ty in homes and property the right OF
petition for redress of grievances all these
constitutional rights OH which our free
dom rests are being violated, we hope tor
a speedy return to the time-honored ad'
ministration of the laws and the constitu
tion.
Resohed, That we stand second TO none
in our love for the Constitution and ouI
estimate value of the Union, and we are
all ready and willing to sustain the Con-
sttution and the Government thereby es'
tablished throughout all time, if admins
tered according to their true spirit.
Resolved. That the several candidate!
presented by the Democratic party TO fiji
the several county offices TO be voted to
at the October election, are men of strc
, integrity, honest, capable and well calcu
lated to discharge their duties with credi
. 10 the county and honor TO themselves

lonped to a party that has always battled
for the Union, the Constitution and the
en- nfoycement OF the laws; her doctrines
have been inscribed on her banners for
more than half u century; the principles
unon which they are based are co-eXist-
ent with the Republic itself; and havo
no fears that she will ever Il tier or
turn back in her course as the champion
of freedom and the faithful guardian of
the rights OF the States and Of the people.
If YOU should wonder, or any should
ask what my sentiments are on the ques-
ton of prosecuting the war against the Sc
ceding States, let my post on the tented
field within sound Of the insurgents cam
nor, be my answer. While it is a war, let
it be prosecuted with vigor. Let patriot
ism awake and rally for the Government,
beneath the flag that our fathers adopted
and revered as their national emblem,
that it may ever wave as the emblem
OF united-noJ the monument OF dis
m embered Confederation. Let rebellion
feel the power and supremacy OF the Gov
ernment and the laws, but close no aven.
ne by which it may, the moment it secs
the folly, the suicidal madness of its res
sistance to constitutional authority, re-
turn to its allegiance, that our distracted
country may be speedily restored to tram
guilty and repose, and the SWORD once
more changed to the ploughshare. This
is but rational and christian.
OF the present National Administration
it becomes me 10 say but little. With the
party which placed it in power | can have
neither sympathy nor atfiliatlOn, but |
am under command of its officers, and
owe il at least my respect. As the rep
resentative OF the Government 10 which ]
have sworn allegiance, | yield II cheerful
oil ediance. The teachings os Democracy
would not sanction any other course, than
submission to the lawfully constituted au-
thority. And farther, do not believe from
the evidences arouna me, that any inters
ference with the rights of the States or ot
| the citizens thereof, farther thanthe usages
ofwar might justify, is contemplated by MI
! Lincoln's administration in their effort to
suppress the rebellion. Only this morn
| ing | read an order of Gen. Mcclellan 5,
sending back to Maryland five fugitive
slaves which had escaped from their mas
tiers. This, done at the national capital,
and under the eyes, or rather the noses, ,oi
the heads of the department, may safely
be taken as an evidence that they do not
mean to respond to the clamors Of the
Tribune and its abolitiondisciplcs, demand
ing the determination of slavery every
where before sword be sheathed.
But my letter has already been extend.
ed far beyond my original intention, and ]
will now conclude, by assuring YOU that il
| thou sht | could do my friends justice
or myself credit, it would have afforded
me great pleasure to have taken my
chance ~ the general election as one o.
their candidates for Assembly; but as
am convinced that could do neither
again respectfully decline offering mysel
to the consideration Of the special confer
ence. With the highest esteem,l remain
yours, dc, JAMES II. LARRIAER.

jefferson City, Sept. A. Tie steamer
Sioux City brings information that fight
occurred at Bonneville yesterday morns
ing between the secessionists and the
Home Guards, which terminated in the
victory of the latter. Home Guards held
their entertainments against the rebels,
one thousand strong, who were driven
back with loss of twelve killed and
thirty wounded. The Homo Guards lost
only one man killed and four wounded.
Among the killed of the rebels we're Col.
Brown and Capt. Brown.

Of St. Joseph and surrounding country
The Union men were suffering the devas-

The TIMBER BusINEss.-Some unusually
wise Democra in this region have discoy-
cred an entirely new objection to honest
old Abe IT he is elected, say they, all
confidence will be destroyed in the stabil-
ity of the Union, the banks will all burst,
and tie price Of timber wN 90 dozen! This is,
to say the least of it, childish. No man
in his sound senses will give it serious
thoueht-it is too foolish and absurd. If
Lincoln's election has any effect at all on
the price of timber, it will be to raise 1t, as
there will be avery great demand .or lum"
Der TO build boats to convey our Democrat
ic friends up Salt River. The respect that
sur dry Associate Judgeships, and other
county Offices, will have to change hands
shortly. we think is a matter Of more So
licitude to some of these sensitive howl
ers, than the price of timber. In order,
however, TO show how untounded and
senseless this tslk about dissolution OF
the Union and panic amongst banks is,
we reed only state that the new Govern
nent loan of Sl0,00OO00 was promptly
taken, on Monday a-week, at and above
par, by some Of the most Judicious capt.
alists in the Union. Every effort was made
by the Washington Consultation and Other
Administration organs to injure the credit
of the county, by threats Of dissolution
and appeals to the political prejudces ot
the people. 1t does not look much like
! n dissolution of the Union, when scores o
capitalists come forward and exhibit thei'
anxiety to obtain the loans of our Govern
ment, even at par; nor does it appeal
reasonable that Lincoln's election will in
iure the price of timber, when some OF TIT
sef-same Democrats who say so, offer Thea
timber at onh, 10 cents if Old Abe sue
ceeds, or will take the same price If Breck
