on the late terrible conflict near Manassas,
says:
but We desire to say a word to our friends
and all Union-loving patriots. DO not be dis.
Outraged. We may look for reverses occa-
sionally. In fact. this rebellion would belle
its name and reputation if those engaged in it
did not occasionally gain victory or give our
forces hot contested fight. We must recol-
lect that the rebellion has assumed immense
proportions. and is wagrd with the de'ermi,l-
alton worthy Of better cause. We must
acknowledge the fact that We are fighting with
people quite equal to us in bravery aud mil
iiary skill, and that Notwithstanding the fact
thst we may have more men in the field than
they which, however, is a matter of doubt, or
that our troops may b. little better equipped
til IL theirs, still ours is the invading army !;
we are fighting them, as it were, on their own
soil; and this makes great difference in the
relative capacity for sudden Or immediate ac-
ton, as they can in day collect their forces
from all parts Of the country over which they
hold control, march them straight into the bat
tic field, fresh and vigorous for az assault,
while we have to depend upon dista It States
and localities for fresh troops when needed
and these troops have to march under many
difficulties and disadvantages, and enter the
field under fatigue and depression, consequent
upon sudden transition from different eli
mate. We believe the next news will give
the details Of glorious results to tho Union
cause"

The INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.-The
printed list published by the judges of the
great Exhibition at London shows "fifty.fou
medals and thirty-one honorable mentions to
the United States" This with ninety eight
exhibitors, shows the character Of the exlibi-
ton, and does great credit to our country.
The commissioner who was sent to assist the
contributors in their efforts to secure fair
representation at the Exhibition, writes as fol.
lows: ave are congratulated on every hand
at our success. Had Congress appropriated
the $4,000 our exhibition would have been
the most useful one for tho Worlds show.
and would have. done more than anything
else to close up the Times and other papers
here in their attacks upon our country. 1t
would have been one Of the most convincing
arguments that we were able to take care Of
our own concerns and furnish to to the world
the new inventions which they need. The
demand from the continent for our articles is
such that we could have received orders for
very many implements and machines, had
they been here, that would have takcn the
lead of the English, and opened an extensive
trade for us. Our Minister, Mr.. Adams, and
our Consul, Mr.. Morse, have been very useful
to our American exhibitors, and as our flag
waves over one trophy erected in the build
ing under which received the awards from
our Minister and delivered them, the people
begin TO believe that our country is not yet
dead"
FROM THE MINING REGIoN.-Thc follow
ing is taken from the Portland Times Of
Wednesday:
Mr. A. s. Gould, editor Of the Golden
Age, Lewiston, arrived on the JNha last
evening, five days from Lewiston, having
made the trip in batteaux Grande Lucy with
% other passengers. They campcd out four
nights-one without even anything to eat Or
nothing to drink. 1t blew live gale NIL tho
way down, and the large bateaux madea great
many hair-breadth escapes" and Mr.. G..
wonders she ever outlived them. They saw
a large number of small boats containing men
on their way down, many of which must
have persisted, as the wrecks of some We're
seen. A small boat capsized at Pine Tree
Rapids, Snake river, Sept. 4tlh, and three men
drowned, one Mr.. Jacob thinner. of Port.
land, who leaves a wife and family, Mr.. a.
Bryant, and Canadian known us "John,"
were the others. Tire first of last week hoat
upset in the Columbia river, opposite Fort
Okanagan. and two men We're drowned-one
named McChcet and tho other McColleck.
The wreck Of small boat was seen in John
Day Rapids on a rock last week. On Satur-
day last, two dead bodies were found floating
in the river near the wood yard five miles
above Deschutcs, supposed to be from some
of the wrecked beats. Mr.. G. thinks many
of the voyngers from Lewiston must get lost
as the river was as rough as the ocean in a
storm.

est in the welfare of the orphans, that
tho Sisters Of Charity, ut Vancouver,

Asyl9ms; that in order to prepare suit
able lodgings for. those little ones, they
have expended several thousand dol
lars, and thereby incurred debts, which
they are unable to pay. The Bishop,

Columbia River Correspondence,
COLUMBIA RIVER. Sent. IL, 1

COLUMBIA RIVER, Sept. III, 1862.
EDITOR STANDARD-SIR: see in your
last paper call for meeting of tho corpor-
ators Of the Puget Sound and Columbia river
Transportation Company. This brings ia
mind the calls of the Columbia. river Trans.
portation Company, that were Issued last
spring. the doings Of which, and this charges
Of corruption made against some of the corpor.
ators by the editor of the Kaxc0srer' Iele-
graph, you noticed in your paper at tho time.
Can you tell your readers what has become
Of that company, and its corLorators and d.
rectors? A very valuable privilege was
granted them by the last Legislature, the car
rying out Of which, in good faith, would have
been of incolculable benefit to all this portion of
the Territory. and yet it seem to b. doing
nothing. Why is this? Can it be possible
that some Of the corporators were as corrupt
as were charged by the Telegraph. and that
they have sold out the company to the rich
and powerful monopoly, who now control all
the carrying trade of the upper Columbia,
and who if they succeed in defeating the will
of the Legislature of Our Territory, by buying
ing of corrupt and unprincipled men who
have been entrusted with power by the Leg
islature, until they succeed in securing rail-
road around tho Cascades, will b. likely to
keep the monopoly for many years to come
1t has been publicly charged by the 1ele.
graph, that some Of the corporators had made
arrangements to sell out the interests of the
whole company, and the action of the directors.
or rather want of action, has convinced the
people. Of this region that the charge was
true.
Those gentlemen owe it to themselves,
and to the people, if the charges are untrue.
to take measures to disprove them. As
the majority of the directors reside on Pu.
get Sound, and were selected by tue Rep.
rcsentativts of the Sound d isi,icts it should
DO the duty Of the people of the Sound, to
force them to show, that they have acted
in good faith in this matter, in order to dis.
abuse the minds Of our people Of the feel
ing, that the control Of the company was
given to persons living on the Sound, for
the purpose Of defeating the interests Of
this portion of the Territory.
The FIVE directors chosen, majority of
whom control the whole company, are w.
W. Miller. G. G. Phillips, Frank Clark, as
proxy for p. j. Moorey, b. +. Shaw, rs
proxy for Milton Aldrich, and A. s. Aber-
neihy.
Some of them are corporators of tho 9th.
or company, and l think it would be we'll
for them, to explain how they have dis.
charged their trusts in this matter, before
the people are called upon to entrust them
in another corporation.
Some Of our citizens are determined to
sift this thing to the bottom, and trust
You will BE- kind enough to publish this to
call their attention to it at this time.

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1862-10-25

The n. Y. Tribune says
"Let US state frankly what the public de-
sire and expectation now impatiently de-
mands:
al Whenever a commander OF other Of
heer in the Union service evinces a dila-
tory, hesitating, lukewarm disposition, as
though he were q party to "the game :"
spoken Of by Major Key, and afraid that
the rebels would be too badly beaten, he
should be cashiered at q moments notice.
Don't stop for courts martial or of inquiry,
but drop him like hot potato. His case
can be taken up for review after the re-
bellion shall have been throtJled.
al Whenever an officer evinces sym
pathy with the traitors, or coWardice, or
disgraces himself and endangers the great
cause by drunkenness while on duty,
shoot him with as little ceremony as
though he were mad dog. Had Miles
been thus served after Bull Run, he would
not have surrendered 1900 men and mil
lions worth Of arms and stores at Har-
per's Ferry. Lenity to such miscreants is
treason to the Republic.
GIL Whenever an officer proves incOm-
petent or inefficient supercede him al
once, no matter though yoE have none bet
ter to put in his place. A new broom
sweeps clean; and the mere fact that On
officer is deprived Of his command for in
efficiency viii exert a good influence on
hundreds Of others. We're it the inexora-
bic rule Of our service that every officer
who needlessly incurs defeat or surrend.
er post should be shot on sight, the re-
bellion would have been suppressed al
least six months ago.

The New York Tribune states distinctly
nd positively that the statement that the
army Of the Potomac cannot move for want
Of stores, or any other requisite, is entirely
without foundation. Every requisitiOn has
been fully and Immediately filled.
The dispatches of this morning assign
the low water Of the Potomac as the reason
that the army does not move, because it al
lows the rebels to cross at any point. But
does not the same state of water allow
hcClellan's army to cross to go into Vir-
ginia7 Why are we compelled to wage a
defensive war? Is there no attacking ca
pasity in our generals? Must we wait ps-
tiently until the rebels choose to attack US,
and mean time allow the rains to come and
bring with them the unfathomable mud
which viii force the army into winter
quarters? If this was the first excuse we
would accept it, but as the alleged want Of
shoes has been found 10 he groundless, so
this may be. But few weeks remain for
active service this year Shall they be
