DISPATCHES FROM GEN. MCCLELLAN,
The Enemy Repnlsed with Great
Slaughter.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Dispatches
have been received from Gen. McClel.
Ian, dated as late as one O'Clock, A.
NJ, July A. The following is their sub
stance, omitting details not proper for
present publication:
There has been no lighting since
Tuesday night, when the enemy were
repulsed with great slaughter. The
army msved to the position now oecu-
pied, because it afforded superior ad-
vantage for the cooperation Of the gun
boats, of, which seventeen are now in
the river. protecting the aank of our
army. Statements Of the casualties in
the severe battles Of the eight days can
Bot yet be furnished. -af,, m
Our forces were not beaten IN any
conflict. nor could they be driven from
the feld by the, uttermost efforts of the
enemy, NJ. guns have been lost since
the 9Th, when McCalRs division at the
onset was overwhelmed, and twenty
FIVE pieces fell, into the hands Of the
enemy. The sick and wounded are
being sent to hospitals.

elections are held in the State. Il was
so done On the ed Tuesday Of October,

great portion Of the session OF the
Legislature during last winter, was
taken up-in the examination Of frauds,
whereby candidates were ostensibly
elected. Companies whose officers

attended to the elections, which were
held in shameless violation of the laws

inten. on crushing the enemy than

Iected. So outrageously unjust was it
found to operate, that the law, II not re-
pealed, will be, next session. Our De-
mocracy at Columbus. in one of their
resolutions, reflect strongly on the Gen
eral Assembly Of this State for refusing
to permit Ohio soldiers to vote out of the
State. We see no object in this, unless
the one gained in Pennsylvania. That

~ The Breckinridgers at Colum-
bus on the 4th resolved "That zoe are
as ss eper zsvs ssen. the devoted friends
Of the Constitution and the Union, aud
we have no sympathy With the enemies
of ether, A good resolution, that
is. We once heard Of Mormon con-
ventioH at which preamble and resolu.
tions IKE the following were adopted:
"Whereas the garth is the Lords, and
the fullness thereof shall be given to
the saints. therefore, Resolved, That
ne are the saints" That word -"ene-
mics" is very adroitly inserted. II the
reader win patiently look over the re-
manning resolutions, he will find it only
a covert way of saying "abolitionisis."
The changes are ruug on that word 10
every possible form. but we look m
vain for the equally obnoxious term,
ssecessionist." MOI. being able to find
it, we therefore conclude that the con-
yention did not consider the latter class
as "enemies" Of the Constitution and
the Union. In this world it frequently
happens that a mans greatest foes are
those who profess friendship-and it is
often as necessary to be saved from
ones friends, as bis enemies. IAN
open enemy rs better than a secret
FRIEND" So we think an open "secesh-
er" less dangerous to the existence Of
the Constitution and Union, than he
who, loudly protesting a love for both,
loses no opportunity to embarrass those
sworn to support and maintain them.

had covered an immense table with
provisions Of every description. After
the address, the crowd was marched
by Col. WILcox to the table, where
amid the best order and decorum we
ever saw, each one partook OF that
which best suited MIN, and although
It was eompated that about 1000 per-
sons were supplied, quantity sufficient
for about as many more remained over.
A collection was taken up for the aid of
the Sanitary Committee, but the precise
amount we did not learn. The festivi-
ties were continued after dinner, and
were to be closed with ball by the
"young 'nns" in the evening. The ut
most harmony and good order prevailed
during the day, every one enjoying the
pleasure and contributing to that Of
others. The WilksvillTans are sound
on the question Of patriotism. We
neither saw or heard Of sscesh SYM
pathizer on the ground. and judging
from expressions of sentiment we did
hear, any thing in that line would have
met with speedy retribution.
