We give cur Democratic friends the benefit
Of the above notice, which We find posted in
handbil's about the streets We look upon it
as decidedly the best joke Of the season. The
idea of men, like those whose names are at
tachcd to this CALL or most of them at least,
SO devotedlv attached 20 party to wish It's
success 1t whatever cost to the country, ap-
pealing to " all, without regard to past polit
zeal preferences" to help them nominate
candidate for Congress, Is, in the highest de-
gree, ridiculous, and can be looked upon only
a an evidence Of the very last struggle FOR
existence Of remnant Of party in the last
stage approximation.
Another feature in the call worthy of notice
is the declaration of the belief that 4" every
,.atriat should give every aid in his power to
sustain the government in this crisis" The
sentiment contained il that quotation Is one
tat should oetuate every true lover Of his
country, and one that those who have called
the above Convention will End plenty of help
in CARRYING out, whenever t5cg, by word or
act, are ready TO = give AID to the government
in this crisis" which should call forth the
,,-;taI erersrisz Of all without regard tH INST
political preferences"

PoL1rlcAr. LlQuEs-ltis not unfrequent-

PoLITIcAL CLIQuEs. 1t is not untrequent-
" the case that men who have been made
the subject of political favor by the parties
to which they are attached, become so self
important that they really feel that the
entire interests Of the party are entrusted
to their special care, and by their shrewd
management they hope to have everything
their own way Such we have reason to
believe is the case at this time, with few
individuals from different parts Of the state
whose head quarters appears 10 be at
Madison, and who are attempting to man
age the affairs of this Congressional Dis
ureiudices. We are told that some, call
ing themselves Republicans, and who
wonld like to be looked upon as leaders,
have even held consultations with leading
Democrats of this district fer the purpose
of comparing no.es as to the propriety o.
nlacinr this or that man in domination for
Congress By the Republican Convention
which assemblies in this city to-day. 1t
our friends % from other portions OF the
s.ase consider the republicans Of this Dis
trict unqualified for the selection of a suit
able person torepreseat them in Congress,
it may be looked upon as kindness IN
them to interpose their counsel and advice;
bu. i. would look much more onorabie
If they would do it openly, rather than by
a secret system Of wire pulling, and work
ing with cur political opponents Our ad-
vice to those gentlemen would be to attend
to their own matters nearer home, and
leave the people of this district to select
for themselves, the man to represent them
in CONGRESS. We feel confident that the
Republicans Of this district are qualified
to make their own selection Atall events
they desire the privilege of padding their
own canoe, and while they have no de
sire to Interfere with Conventions iii other
Districts, they viii not quietly submit to
the dictation of those who have no great
or interests here than throughout the state
generally. Unless they desire to have their
schemes brought to light, let them attend
to their own business and lea us To
choose our own candidates.

The wish Of Gen futile is this-that
wherever persons are DESTROYS of employ

do to ret them is, to appoint committee
OF responsible citizens who viii make the
application, and who viii exercise some
thing like guardianship over them, and

4 battle at Corinth is imminent Price
is at Hamburg and Van Dorm is coming
up ON the opposite side Of our forces.
There is great confidence both here and at
Corinth that Price will be routed, if not
captured.
Throughout the South the most extrav-
agant reports are believed with regard to
the rebel successes in the East.
/ They also have it reported that Corinth
is evacuated by our forces that the town
is destroyed, and that the Federal army
is devastating the country as 1t moves on
Baltimore, Sept. 10
A gentleman, who left the battle field at
nine o'clock Wednesday night, confirms
the statement Of the reporter of the As
ISOLATED Press at head quarters, in every
particular He says that our forces occu-
pied the position chos IN by the enemy at
the commencement of the battle, and that
the rebe were driven back a mile and a
half at all points, except on our extreme
right which they still held at the close Of
the day.
Our informant was all day within one
/ hundred wards Of Mcclellan, and says
that the results of the day were regarded
! by him and his staff as Il glorious victory,
/ though not final one.
There was no faltering at any point of
| the line of our whole army. Our soldiers
| were exultant at the result Of the previous
1 DAVIS fight and Mcclellan was in the high
est spirits
/ The opinion of Mcclellan and those
+ around him WAS that the final result would
] depend on who got reinforcements first
/ Our informant SAYS that nothing had
f been heard on the field OF the capture of
/ Longstreet or the killing of HILL and that
/ there is no truth in either report
| Twenty thousand more re-inforcements
/ were expected to reach the field yesterday
/ from Harrisburg.
/ Our informant thinks the loss of the
rebels fully equal to ours The mile
+ man xho furnishes us with the foregoing
/ intelligence is one of our most respectable
and intelligent citizens, and says that,
while the battle of Wednesday was not a
decisive one, it was contest in which all
+ the advantages were with Mcclellan, who
occupied the field OF battle at the close Of
the day.

Mr. Editor As it has been intimated
by some of the ruling po,cer Of Iowa Coun-
ty, that the bounty recommended by the
citizens at mass War meeting, held at
the County Seat, some six or seven weeks
ago, is to be repudiated by the Board when
in session, and oar Volunteers, their wives
and children, dis franchised OF the small
amount promised them previous to enlist
ing, as might be expected, from an event.
Of this kind, confusion reiGns. The sub
iect has been thoroughly canvassed by the
men of both companies in this city, and
great dissatisfaction at the present time
exists, and VIII continue to exist unless
promptly set right by the proper authors
ties of the county.
For the good of the cause, for the pro
lection of wives and children, | appeal TO
you, Mr. Editor, as a public spirited man,
to endeavor to bring about a promp re
