From the Union County Herald
Reprcsensnsivc TO Congress.

Mr.. Editor: In Your last issue, some per-
son, sailing under the colors of "Lover OF
the Union" made an attempt 10 forestail
public opinion, in matter which 1t was
hoped woald be allowed 10 remain at rest,
until our national difficulties should assume
a more settled form, and the people could
look about them. to see who Is the man Tor
the occasion, and who is best calculated to
restore an honorable peace. and quiet the
troubled nerves of our national existence -
But the writer of that article, true to the
instructive element which characterizes the
friends OF Mr.. Julian. attempts 10 drag up
this Congressional question. and force the
people 10 determine whom they will support
before they arc able 20 determine what the
emergency will require. To be plain about
the matter, the people have already had
quite enough of this kind Of wire working,
on the part of the friends Of Mr.. Julian.
and have became heartily tired and DISCUS
ted with it. Mr.. Julian has done nothing
since he took his seat in Congress, but cleo.
tioneer for a return TO his scat-first. by
causing TO be printed large number OF
copies of that same old speeeh," on the
eternal negIo question. and sending them to
every man, woman and child throughout
the District. Next, by causing large
picture of himself TO be printed in phre
biological journal accompanied by bog
raphy (written by himself no doubt.) de-
elaring the aforesaid Julian "he liriag ,con
der Of the age" These. too. were circula-
ted in same manner as the speech. about
the first of April. mo allusion 10 the time
of circulating Jack bills). The next at
tempt of this kind, was by the friends of
Mr.. Julian. calling for the nomination Of a
Congressman at the April election, before
the people had even thought of the ques-
ton. Now. if Mr.. Julian and his friends
are determined that he shall be the next
cand ldate for Congress from the "burDt
District" without awaiting an expression of
the people. Why don't they at once de-
clare it? 1t is common for aspiring gentle
men, who have any OF that rare article call
ed modes'y. to await movement of the
people in such matters. and not attempt to
dra, them per force. into measures which
they most desire TO avoid.
why need a man fores;all his date Of grief,
And run TO meet bat he would most Avoidf'
If the people longer desire the services Of
Mr.. Julian as their representative in Con-
sress, they will not be slow to make their
wishes known to him in a becoming manner,
and if they desire a conservative man, who
has more ideas than one. and who can dis
pei from his vision the dark cloud OF mig.
gerology. and see the true demands Of our
government. they will, perhaps. cast their
votes for such an one. even at the risk OF
being called "sympathizers. traitors, or Sc
cessionists," as your correspondent seems
to denominate all who will not rally under
the Julian standard. So say the people and
thinks. Yours. truly. UNION.

Turning Traitors On, Of Once.

For months past the plans of Gen. Nc
Clellan have been made known to JEFF.
Davis and his minious. by traitors and spies
in the different Departments Of the Gov
eminent at Washington City. As fast as
they could be found out and exposed, the
President and heads of Departments, lave
dismissed them. and appointed known 10y al
men in their places. These spies and trail
tors. did and do belong 10 the Breckenridge
wing Of the democratic party. they
claim themselves to be democrats-they
we're placed in their positions BY that
old hoary- headed harborer. encourager, and
promoter of treason, Government thieving
and swindling, James Buchanan. For thus
placing loyal and honest men. in the places
of these unmitigated Villains. the India q

the President is removing Democrats from
office, because they are Democrats, and put

the present Administration took possession
, of the Government, not Republican was
found in the most humble subordinate po-
sition-not even a Douglas Democrat was
allowed to hold position. after Buchanan
had concluded to ride down Douglas with
Breckinridge-the Douglas men were os
tracised as we'll as the Republicans. Sur
rounded, as Mr.. Lincoln then was with those
who sympathized with the rebellion and
the traitors-a cleaning out OF the "Augean
Stables" was commenced, and, until the
war broke out, the appointments were made
strictly in accordance with party usage. -
The President thereafter put aside party
in his selections, and strictly applied the JEFF
fersonisn test: els he honest, capable and
faithful to the Constitution. Such men as
Stanton, Johnson and Holt. we're select ed

BEFORE CoRlNTH, May 28.-Three strong
accommodating columns advanced this morn
ing, Gen. Thomas on the right, Buell. in the
center and Pope on the left. for the purpose
of feeling the enemy's position and unmssk-
ing his batteries. The enemy contested the
ground holly at each point. and was driven
back with considerable loss.
Pope's column encountered the strongest
opposition, where we lost 25 killed and
wounded.
The enemy left thirty dead on the field.
We captured some five or six officers, and
several privates.
Although the enemy disputed the passage
OF the bridge at the creek sharply, we held
possession on the southern side in some in.

part of scholars and parents, in behalf of
education, while there has been decided
improvement in our schools, the past year,
let US remember, that there is much yet
to be done, if we would make our schools

Let parents and friends of education
say the work shall be done, and it will 60
forward to completion.
There is no trust committed to you,
more important, more worthy of your
fidelity, than the education of the young.
If, then, you would be faithful to your
trust see to it, that you do not leave un-

for you to do; but take the work into

success; appropriate money for the sup
