That class of politicians opposed to the Prcsi-
dents proclamation, which he proposes to issue
on the let Of january, for the general emancipa-
ton OF the negroes belonging TO those in rebel

tire population into the Northern States

facts

The following brief account of fight with the
rebel cavalry IS one in which our citizens feel
much interest Capt E. J. COnger is a Huron
county boy, son of Rev. E. CongeH of Plymouth.
The DR.. followed bis profession as Dentist in
this town for several years, and his wife is now
here. The Doctor enlisted first in Co. +, 6th
regiment (three months men,) and was elected
ID Lieutenant. For year past he has been at
tached to the Virginia cavalry the 3D. Regiment
of which is composed only of his company, re.
cruited by HIMSELF partly in Huron, Riehlanc
and Crawford counties, the balance being com.
posed of Virginians, from the vicinity of Wheel
ing. The Captain aud his brother, Lieutenant
Conger are brave, dashhig men of the Marion
stamp and many signal victories have been ac-
complished by the Sd Virginia cavalry under his
command. SO brave and dashing an officer will
be much missed We hope, however, that the
wounds of Capt. G. are not so serious as have
been reported
Fairfax O. H., Oct. 26.-A detachment OF
800 men who were at Manassas Junction, were at
acked by about 500 rebels on Friday and re-
treated, with the loss of two Lieutenants and
fifteen taken prisoners lt VI
Capt. Conger, of the Sd Virginia cavalry,
with IS hen, who had been on a scouting ex-
petition and was ON his return, met the same
party Of Rebels between Catletts Station and
Warrenton. Capt. Conger attacked and dis
persed this body, killing several members Of the
18th Virginia cavalry and taking two prisoners.
In the engagement Capt. Conger was serious
ly wounded, aud remained on the field over
night, when he was taken charge by resident
of the neighbprhood and carried to his house
aud his wants cared for, or
The whole loss Of Captain Conger in the hgh
was one wounded and three prisoners.
Capt. Dahlgren, with his force to-day drove
in the rebel pickets between Catlett's and War
reuton. Capt. Dahlgren, who went out to look
after Capt. Conger, reports him dangerously
wounded. he was paroled on the field by tn,
rebels, who proposed to SEND him to our lines
but he was too badly hurt TO be moved and ;
surgeon was sent to his assistance
Fairfax Court House, October 29.-Capt. Con
ger was heard from to-day 1t is believed tha
his recovery is probable

An English Correspondent OF Another
Color,


A special correspondent to McMillan's Maga-
zine seems, when compared with the vaporings
of the Doctors and Poets who are permitted to
howl through the columns of the "fhunderer"
to be correspondent Of another hue. Return
ing home, he sums up his observations in the
September number Of that Magazine as fol-
lows:
II seems to me, on coming back that what
recollect, or fancy recollect, must be delusion
of the mind | saw country, rich, prosperous
and powerful, and am told that / have just re-
turned from ruined, bankrupt and wretched
land. j saw people eager forwar, full OF hope,
and confident Of success; and anu told, that this
Same people has no heart in the matter, aud
longs for foreign interference to secure peace at
any price. ] saw great principles at stake, great
questions at issue and learn that in this strug-
gle there is no principle involved. These are
matters Of opinion, in which may be mistaken;
but SO much / do know for a fact that / saw
vast armies, composed Of as fine regiments as
the Old World could show-not Irish nor Ger
man, but native born Americans; that l came
across the track OF great battles, and saw, only
by too palpable an evidence how bloody and
how hard fought had been this contest; that
knew, too, myself, of hundreds and thousands
who have left home, and family and business,
TO risk their lives for the cause so dear to them
And then, am still informed that must be
because it is notoriousthat Americans
do not fight at ALL that their soldiers are hired
mercenaries, and that such qualities as courage
or love Of country, do not exist in America.

Cairo, Oct. 26.-The steamer Eugene, from,
below, reports the rebels have possession of the
Tennessee shore opposite Island No. 10.
The Negroes of Helena unwilling TO be
sent North, neither do they want to go back in
to slavery. They readily consent to work fol
wages, aud arrangements are being made by
which they to be paid fifty cents per day, ex-
cept in cotton picking, when they are to have
seventy y-five cents.
Cairo, October. ga Federal force, mum
bering 300, with piece of artillery, stationed
at Wayerly, Tennessee twenty miles south
west of Fort Donelsou, were attacked by 800
rebels Thursday last. The latter were COM
pletely routed with loss oftwenty -four killed
twenty five captured, and large number woun-
ded. Our loss was two killed and two wounded.
From several sources we learn that great ac-
tivity prevails among the rebels in the vicinity
of Helena, Vicksburg and Holley Springs
They evidently contempt te an attack, but just
at what point is not known.
The number of rebels at Holley Springs is
said to be 10000.
Information from the country last night rep
resent the guerrillas who We're lately in camp
midway between Germantown and Colleryille
had been seen in full retreat closely pursued by
Federal cavalry under Col. Grierson. These
guerrillas We're from Kentucky and the impress
sion seems to be that they were depredating on
their own hook.

We refer to an interesting article in re-
gard to the resources and responsibility Of
the government, taken from Thompson's
Bank Note Rchorter, as follows:
"The question what do you think Of Gov.
ernment stock for Investment? is SO often
asked that we may rs we'll publish our ans
wer.
The Government has the power 10 de-
mand Of the States any amount Of money
necessary to sustain itself. 1t has the pow
er to tax all individuals and corporate
property to any extent necessary to sustain
itself
The Government did, by act Of August
5, 1861, call on the States for $20,o0o,000,
and the call was houored. The Govern
ment did, BY the excise tax Of July !, 1852,
levy upon individual and corporate interests
tax, now in process of collection, the ag-
gregate amount of which, per annum, will
yield two hundred millions dollars, while
our imports under the present tariff arc
yielding eighty millions dollars per annum.
These taxes and tariffs can be and will be
enlarged if necessary for the sustenanco Of
the Government; therefore, we say, so long
as we have Government, the Government
stock is the best security Of all. If anarchy
Overtakes us, the question must not be wha
is best, nor what is most worthless, but

GEN. SIGEL AND TUE PRooLAMATIoS.- General
Sigel, in letter to some fri ends in Chicago thus
defines his position in regard to the Proclama-
ton:
"As have tried to do my best in the defense
of Republican principles, and for the emanci-
patton of the oppressed, without distinction of
race or color, | cannot but heartily approve the
manifestations of the people 10 give their sup
port TO the liberal act of The government of the
REPUBLICAN, which is the only great and strong
bnlwark against the aggressive power of native
and foreign arstocracy and despotism.

SLAVERY IN Missouri property in
Missouri has deprecated and It is said to be
nearly impossible to sell slave any where in the
country Tor one fifth the ordinary price, while
every other species Of property has increased in
value. A st. Genevieye paper reports stam-
pede ofnegroes from that county. Slaves have
long since ceased to be of value in the counties
adjoining Kansas. The counties between Kan
sas City and the towns in Atchison county, on
the ST. Louis side of the river, are said 10 be
patrolled by the enrolled militia to prevent the
escape of slaves from inland counties. There
were only 400 slaves ia ST. Louis two years
ago, and the best judges now estimate that there
are less than 500, and these old and decrepit
house servants. q

He was then conveyed home, but his mother re-
fused to receive him, as he was a traitor and

disgrace to the family.
