Our arms are entirely successful again
in northwestern Alabama. Gen. Scho-
field, finding that the enemy had encamp-
ed at Pea Ridge, sent General Blunt with
the LIST division westward, and moved
towards Huntsville, with the rest of his
force.
Gen. Blunt by making a hard nights
march, reached and attacked the rebel
force at Maysyille, near the northwest
corner Of Arkansas, at Z O'clock on the
morning of the 23d inst
The enemy was estimated at from
5000 70 1000 strong. The engagement
lasted about one hour, resulting in the
total rout of the enemy, and The loss of
all his artillery. A battery Of O-pound-
crs, a large number Of horses, and a por-
ton Of their transportation and garrison
equipments were captured.
Our cavalry and light howitzers were
still in pursuit Of their scattered forces
when the messenger left Our loss is
small.
Gen Schoheld pursued Hindman be-
yond Huntsville, coming close upon him,
when his forces precipitately fed beyond
the Boston Mountains.
All the organized forces of the rebels
have thus been driven back TO the valley
Of the Arkansas river, and the army Of
the frontier has calamity and success
fully accomplished its mission.

The Goyeruorship.

Our readers will hear with deep regret, that the
Hon. William A. Graham declines to be considered
candidate for Governor. We had hoped that Gov.
Graham would find it compatible with his sense Of
duty to allow his name to be used by his friends
Of his election we could entertain no doubt. The
State stands peculiarly in need of such man at the
helm at this time. No man in the State would in
spire such confidence in the Office of Governor as
Gov. Graham would. With our readers we deeply
regret that he has felt it his duty to decline being
candidate.
Let the people assemble in primary meetings and
designate their choice for Governor The time IS
short and the sooner they act the better con-
sentative candidate will certainly be run, and in
our opinion, elected

Granville County.

We learn that an effort was made few days
since, in Oxford, to fuse the conservatives and de-
structiveS which resulted in confusion, The peo-
pie of both parties held meeting, appointed a COM
mttee who reported persons to be voted for for the
Legislature, and finally the meeting adjourned with
out any action. We are glad to learn that G. H. K
Taylor, the former Senator and James NJ. Bullock,
one of the former Commoners, we're thrown over
board by the committee. We told Mr. Bullock, more
than year ago, when he excluded our Reporter
from Democratic caucus, that the first time the
people of Granville County got chance at him
they would lay him on the shelf as an Improbable
servant
Let the conservatives make their own nomina-
tons, and elect their own men. The people are
tired of the destructives and ready and anxious
to put better men in their places. Those who hold
power, and who have abused it. have shown no
quarters to the late Union men, but they have treat
ed them a subject race here in their own country
Two-thirds of the people Of the State opposed
to these men, and are determined to discard them
and call other and more conservative men to Office
We are glad to learn that a meeting of the conser-
natives of Granville will be held on the second Sat-
urday in next month, to take steps to bring out a
ticket for the Legislature, and to express prefer
ence for Governor, &c. We trust that every con-
servative who make it convenient to do So will
attend. Granville County is good for Ave hundred

ARE JUSTICES OF TIE PEACE EIEMPTs UNDER THE
CONsCRIPTIoN LAW "A friend at Stantonsburg asks
US whether Justices of the Peace are considered
judicial officers" under the Consumption law.
We are inclined to the opinion that Justices of the
Peace are not judicial officers in the sense meant
by the Congress. Their jurisdiction is local, and
they are merely conservators of the peace in their
respective neighborhoods. The great body of them
have no stated or regular duties to perform; but,
in many Counties there Justices who constitute
special Court who are County Court Judges
and it may be, as they have duties to perform at
stated and regular periods, that they are exemps.
We suppose there are from four to five thousand
Justices in this State, of whom, perhaps, two
thousand are conscripts. 1t could hardly have
been the intention Of Congress to exempt so large
body of men from the operation of the act.
We will add that we have given this opinion after
having consulted eminent lawyers on the subject

Instead of the "Yenite" the Anthem for Ash

PARTY MAL1cE.-The Western Sentinel shows

PARTY MALICE.-The Western Sentinel shows
its party malice in the following remarks:
"Under The castgations Of the press and the uni
versal indignation of the people of the State that
seltconstltuted supreme power in the State, known
as the Convention, seems to be writhing and wrig-
Cling, or in other words dying with agony"
We have heard of no universal indignation of
the people" against the Convention. No meeting
of the people has been held to give expression to
this indignation, if indeed it exists The Sentinel
doubt thinks that its "castigations" Of the Con-
vention have had a powerful effect on the public
mind. That paper, and the little squad for whom
it speaks, have been denouncing the Convention
ever since it became conservative in its character
1t is enough for 70 oppose to this party malice
of the Sentinel the testimony which President Ed
wards bore to the usefulness and patriotism of the
Convention in his remarks at the close of the last
session. The Sentinel in the above extract utters
foolish falsehoods which are thoroughly refuted by
Mr.. Edwards in the remarks referred to.

or Sunday last, and that the Confederates, before

The Merrimac is said to be up James River, and
