Uprising Of the Friends of the Con-
stitutiOn-One Thousand Wisconsin
Democrats i'm Council.


Responding to the call of the State Commit
tee, a thousand Wisconsin Democrats met in
Burchard's Hall in this city yesterday, TO reor-
ganize the Democracy of the State for the com
ing elections, and to re assert their devotion to
the Constitution of the Union and to the Union
of the Constitution The hall is the largest in
the city, and was filled to OverflOwing with able,
earnest, loyal, and enthusiastic men, The opin-
ion of the Convention was authoritatively ex-
pressed through ah Address which WAS adopted
by the Convention and will be issued TO the peo-
pie. This address was prepared by the Hon. Z.
q. Ryan man who Is known to every Wiscon-
sin household as both patriot and iurist 1t
is an eloquent and mastery vindicatiOn OF the
history and purposes of the Democracv and an
appeal 10 the people to unite in upholding the
Government by defending the Constitution at the
ballot box and in the field IRON ali its enemies
open or disguised, in Office or out. Though of
unusual length, every paragraph was greeted with
applause, the Convention repeatedly interruptng
the reader with storm OF cheers. IL Is "A doeu-
ment which should be read wherever exists a
reverence for liberty and law; constituting a
platform broad enough for every real friInd of
"liberty and Union" in the State.
The enthusiasm which prevailed in the Con-
vention it is impossible 10 describe Wesaw old
Democrats present who had not attended Con-
ventiOn before for many years. and not few we're
there who had never before participated in the
proceedings of Democratic convention OF voted
Democratic ballot. The feeling manifested
was like that which must have animated the
breasts of our fathers when under the lead OF JEFF
ferson they for the first time united against the
alien and sediton laws, and the usurpation of au-
thority by the Federilists of 1901. Best of ALL
most hearty of all, most noble aud generous of
all, was the declared unanimous determination of
the Convention to sustain the President in the
discharge of his strictly constitutional duties de-
nying the right of the people to refuse him snip
port in the discharge of those duties during the
pednng crisis and denying his right to infringe
upon the liberties of the people as guaranteed in
the fundamental law of the land, so much as a
hairs breadth. This Is democracy in Wisconsin,
as the Democracy of the State have themselves
declared MlpGukee NelCs, 4th.

consideration of foreign Governments. Another

is but one thing indeed that can now save Wash

August 2lst, on which day Gen. Lee with the
bulk of the rebel army, crossed the Rappahan-

and precpitated himself on Pope's rear, while
Pope was calmly telegraphing to Halleck that

CINCINNATI. September 5, 1862.
On my return to the city this morning, find
that the interest that might otherwise attach to
detailed account of the battle fought near Rich
mOnd, KY, last Saturday has not only been
partially Overshadowed by more important
events in other parts of the country, but to some
extent removed by the statements of officers
and Others, made public in various newspapers,
who have preceded me from the field. Still, "a
round, unvarnished tale" of the events of that
memorable engagement, from the pen OF
any one present, cannot be wholly without inter-
est TO the people of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky,
and especially to those whose husbands, fathers,
brothers and sons there offered up their lives in
the defeuse of liberty, religion, order and law. |
therefor, propose to write my version of the at

STRENGTH OF THE UNION FoRcrs.

In former letter stated That troops had been
pouring into Richmond from morning till night,
and that the number then in camp near that place
could not be less than twelve thousand. was
informed that as many as ten or twelve regiments
had arrived; and from what l had myself seen,
| was quite confident that the number was not
over-estimated Since then, however. | have
learned that entire force did not exceed eight
thousand men. OF these not more than seven
thousand were effective; and of that number aot
more than four thousand, if many, were at
any one time engaged with the enemy. The 95;h

The aggregate of men in the 18th Kentucky and

the other regiments were of the new levy. None
of them had ever been under fire, and most OF
them had not had arms in their hands over fort

THE FIGHT AT THE CEMETERY.

Ii was two o'clock in the afternoon before our
third line Of battle was formed. The position
chosen, like that at Mr.. Moore's was an elevated
one, but the rebels had the advantage of woods
and corn fields, and for time kept up murder
Gus ire upon our men, sustaining at first but lit
tie loss themselves. This time they fought us
with an Arkansas brigade. Here our artillery
was used to good advantage, and finally drove
the enemy from their shelter when they formed
on our right, eur boys meantime pouring into
their ranks some very destructive yolleys. The
