Tho Wheat Buyers Attorney.

When we exposed tho base combination
Of some Of the wheat buyers of this place, to
cheat tho honest farmer and ruin the repu.
ta!ion5 of the city, an instinct of self defence
suggested 10 them that they ought to make
some reply and being too far gone in crime
to harbor, for moment the idea Of confess
sion and repentance, and being too ignorant
10 reply in any manner themselves, they re-.
sorted to the only alternative left, viz to
employ on attorney to do their dirty work
for them. But the question was, who would
take the JOB, There was but enc in town
mean enouyht to do it, ana he didn't know
enough to do it we'll Nevertheless, as he
had good idea OF his own ability, aud
was, withal. candidate for the judgship OF
this district, they thought they would make
&c with him. And inasmuch as he was in.
terested in the swindiug operation they
thought he would put forth extra Efforts
So to him they went. and he, VII $50 only
conception Of legal ability was to success
fully defend thieves and cut throa.s from
justice, seeing that he had case peculiarly
adapted 70 his style Of talent, accepted the
case. and undertook the defence. -.,s.ss
Now at the bar it is notorious that this
same attorney has the thiekest head Of any
Of his compeers. He was never yet known

thinks he has an idea. and he jumps ii il,
but IS never able either to comprehend il

Currency.

The Western States are being flooded
with eastern currency, just as they were
ayear ago, flooded with Illinois and Wis
consin shin -plas,crs. The result is IS might
have been expected, and as was intended by
Wall Street money dealers, to drive every
dollar Of MONEY out Of the country. These
shin -p'asters, now in circulation here are
worthless concerns. The banks probably
will not be able to redeem them when pre-
sen'ed, and the people will again be called
upon, as they were year ago, to lose n couple
million dollars, out Of their hard earnings,
to enrich set Of thieves who are continu>
ally devising plans to swiudle the public.
Last fal, the eastern banks in spite of laws
to the contrary, determined that they would
not redeem their paper in specie. The mo-
,nent that point was determined, the next
point was to get as much of it into the hands
ofthe people rs possible. It has been done
There is now scarcely doller Of MONEY in
circulation. Everything that is worth what
it purports upon its face, to be worth, IS re.
hg'ously kept locked up in the vaults Of
their banks, while their own worthless trash
which ito day is dollar, and to- morrow is
broken promise" is sent out to defraud
the people. Why is it that gold and United
States treasury, notes are at a high premium
is it because they are worth more to day
than they were six months ago: not at all.
It IS because the currency in circulation is
not worth what it 'purports to be WORTH
Aigold dollar is worth only dollar But
tho stuff with which we buy gold dollar
is not worth dollar, therefore we have to
pay difference to make up the deficiency.
This difference we are apt to call premium
Or gold, when in fact it is discount on the
paper. w., ..
Now this is matter that bankers aud
brokers can't manage at their own will, if
the people will only take stand and be.
Arm. The farmers Of this county produce
that which brings all the money 10 tho State
that comes here ; the people Of the east
need itiand must have it, to get it they must
pay money for it, and if the stuff they now
pay wont buy it, they will pay better. IL"
>. It only remains then, for our farmers and
producers 20 say we will take gola silrer or
treasrry nstes only for our produce, and
they have got to take that stand, or they
vii be swindled out Of all they raise. If
thay do 50 money will soon take the place Of
tho worthless stuff that is now in circulation
here. tits not necessary that there DO any
concert Of action or e-a1rarged plans let
every one 50 io, on his own hook and look
out for himself II he takes the stuff now
afloat he is not safe to carry it an hour. If
he takes gold, it will ne> er depreciate.

Democratic Party.

It will be seen by the proceedings Of the
Democcatic Convention recently held in this
city. which are published elsewhere in this
issue, that party warfare, whether with OF
without an issue, is to be again inausurated
For this movement the Democrats of this
County are responsible Among the Re
publicans. and, 50 far a. we can Judge, to a
large extent with the Union loving D-mo.
Gratis, the feeling was deep-seated that this
was no time for party quarrelling.
There can be it seems to us, but one ques,
ton now before the people. viz, shall we
sustain the government ? All who are in
favor Of snch proposition ought to be will
ling to work for that object, with whoever
may bc working for the same end. What
difference will It make If the Union is safe
whether we we 70 formerly Democrats or Re
pnblicsns :? # that is the only issue in the
Country At the present times all who are in
favor Of it will be Of one party and all who
are opposed to it will be of another party,
Democrats nor Republicans ought never to
be known as such while there is traitor in
arms against the, country. :. 49,
Since the war began, there has been !. de-
}c;ded inclination Throughout the north te

ed by some ho. headed abolitionists, and
some secessian Democrats who are ). now
leaders in this movement, the people
would have swept the County. Tit
mass Of people are for the Union. They
are willing to work together. for tha,
object. Now il there are any who eanno,
work with the masses, but seperate them

take issues on the very question ef the

week.~1There were no less than 1856
men engaged. The battle was brought on
by the enemy, and resulted in no advan-

fFhe Northern Light, which came down
yesterday. afternoon brought news Of 50 .
we're battle then raging at Richmond, the
entire force Of both armies being engaged.
Mcclellan was in front Of them, and Burn

THE SITUATION In VIRGINIA.

The city was full Of startling rumors yesterday in
relation 10 the stale OF affairs with the Army Of the
Potomac. From variety Of sources, the anthem
icty Of which is unquestionable We learn that the
latest sdyices Eom Mcclellan received in Wash
ington, up 10 noon yesterday, were to the date Of
Saturday at o'clock P. N. Up TO that time he had
successfully carried out plan which lie had pointed
out some time ago, as one which he was very likely
to put in execution, should circumstances render !,
expsdient TO do so. Tia. plan was TO swing his
right wing toward TIC rear including the divisions Of
fizjohn Porter, Hooker, and Hancock, being all
sic forces which lay north of half way between
Bottoms Bridge and New Bridge. while at the same
tine, lie advanced bis left wing toward the James
River, and opened communication with The gun
boats.
The attack Of the enemy in great force on the
right wing, last Thursday, rendered it expedent to
resort to this strategic movement sooner than was
intended. OF course this change Of position neccs
stsied change Of the base Of operations, and White
Houte Landing was ordered 10 be abandoned in
conformity with the preauanged plan.
Under the direction Of Gen. Casey, this difficult
undertaking wss accomplished with entire success
Al the tiek aud wounded were carefully shipped
oil, the ordnance and commi-sary stores placed on
transports, and the troops and property embarked
Tor James River, the refuse left behind, which did
net exceed 5000 in value, being given to the flames.
