The Way il Goes.

ES- The Vallandighamers are fast
disgusting all true hearted Democrats
with their reasonable sympsthies.--
Judge ScATEs and Col. BRAYMAN, old
and prominent Democrats Of Illinois, are
ont against them. NJ. III. CARPENTER, a
distinguished lawyer and leading Demo
Graf, has repudiated them in Wisconsin,
aud in Indiana, CHARLES w. CArHcART,
Mr.. CoLFAx's competitor in the last
Congressional canvass, has taken the
stump for Mr.. CoLFAx and against the
X. G. C's.

Death of Gen. III eagher.

Gy The death of the gallant Irish
man, Gen. Meagher is one Of the saddest
catastrophes of this bloody and Infamous
war. He was one of the most gifted
orators, one of the most polished minds,
one Of the bravest men, and one Of the
most hearty lovers of liberty, of the age.
Slav ~ has destroyed him, and woe
to that hellish system if it is compelled
to pay the just penalty OF taking such a
life.

The War in Virginia.

EE- The situation of affairs in Virgin
ia is difficult of comprehension. There
has been a week Of terrible struggle and
Of the fercest fighting ever seen on the
continent Mcclellan has driven the
re bells before him in a constant succession
of battles, defeating them in every
attack. But each position has cost us
many men, and several of our bravest
generals have fallen. Reno, Measher
and Mansfield are dead, and a lengthy
list of brave officers are among the
wounded. The rebels have also suffered
greatly in officers. and their loss is said
to have been much greater than our own
The rebels, however, have captured
Harper's Ferry, and with it took 10000
prisoners and large amount of stores
The expectation has been INDUCED all
the week that the rebels would be I'M
able to cross the Potomac, and that their
army would be annihilated or captured
But Jackson seems to have outgeneraled
Mcclellan, and has escaped with all his
stores and train. The rebels have, to be
sure, been defeated in their object of over
running Maryland and Pennsylvania,
and have been badly handled, but in view
Of our loss at Harper's Ferry, and the
fatality among our officers, it is doubtful
whether we may not consider the game
a drawn one. Future particulars are
necessary to estimate the result.

the distinguished speakers announced
arc Judge WILSON and G. F. LEAyIrT,
Esq. We hope the first will solve the
disputed question between Democrats as

is now supporting DENNIS for Congress.

The Authority to Appoint.

The CiviLian and the Crisis seem to
be very much exercised about the au
thority of Governor KIRKwooD to appoint
field officers for the regiments of volun-
teers, and declare that either the Govern
or don't know his duty or willfully ex-
ceeds it. A few Democrats in the extra
session of the Legislature last year, also
got it into their heads that the Governor
was exceeding his authority in this mat
ter, and introduced resolution asking
him to favor them with the source Of the
power he had assumed. The committee
waited upon the Governor, who. with his
usual calmness and patience listened. to
the reading of the resolution, and then
quietly took down book containing the
orders from the War Department, drew
a mark around one of the first, peremp
torily requiring him to appoint the field
officers of regiments, and blandly dis
missed the gentlemen. The anxious
Democrats. who thought they had the
Governor by the " short hair" subsid
ed entirely, as we expect our neighbors
will upon this information, heretofore
known to everybody else.

DEsPONDENCY IN REBELDoM-The advices
from the rebel States are, almost without
exception, of the most doleful character.
Even the braggart Wigfall, who was going
to dictate terms of peace to the North in
Faneuil Hall, has given himself over TO
despair. A Richmond correspondent of
the New Orleans Crescent says, in recent
letter:
You will naturally desire to know how
the people of the Confederate metropolis
stand these trying times, for il is evident
that we are not safe in these days of light
draft gunboats and high water. answer,
in the main, we stand it very well. Some,
to be sure, are downhearted, and nobody
wears so broad grin as they did the day
after the battle Of Leesburg. Still. there Is
universal determination to do or die-to
60 down, if need be, with our harness on,
warning like a brave people to the last.
passed Gen. Wigfall on my return from
dinner, and asked if there was any news?
"NO" said he, II don't believe we have
been whipped since dinner; expect, though
/ TO hear of another defeat in the next five
minutes" Somehow | can't help thinking
of IIaleck's assertion by telegraph to Nc.
Clellan that "the Union flag is on the soil
of Tennessee, never to be removed" This
is brag, but the Yankees have, up to this
time, stuck like eeches wherever they have
effected a landing. They entrencb them
selves, and at the FIRST spadeful Of earth
thrown up by them. our generals give right
up. and say all is lost. They have attacked
MS repeatedly in trenches and forts, and
carried the latter invariable, while we, with
the exception Of the st. Nicholas affair and
a few others, have not done daring thing
through the whole war Another notica.
BILE thing between the Yankees and our
selves is that they follow up their victories,
while we squat down in our tracks the mo-
ment battle is ended. This is a shameful
fact, which disheartens me more than any
thing else. have 20 hope now in anbody
but God and Beauregard.

Nor IN THE BILIS,-During the parform-
ance Of the "Carpenter of Rouen" at the
theater on Saturday night, when the success
of the revoluti0nists was being celebrated
by the burning ofred fire, the dog Prince,
who was chained TO the leg of the stove in
one OF the dressing rooms, awaiting his time
to 10 on, became annoyed with the smoke
and sulphurous s:encb, and giving a tug at
his chain. upset the stove, letting down the
pipe with a crash, overturning water
bucket, and raising thunder generally. In
his alarm, Prince rushed out upon the stage
dashed through the orchestra, and was max.
ing speedy tracks out Of the house when
some one near the door checked him and
turned him back In the same play very
affecting scene occurs where MadalOn Mrs.
Perry comes on with a child in her arms.
The infant provided for the occasion was u
lusty seven-year old boy, who became
frightened and began TO kick and squirm to
get loose. Madelon. however. held on man
fully to the slack Of the youngsters trOw-
sers, which were drawn up in such manner
as to display an immense supercies Of cow
hide boots The scene was so ludicrous that
Madelon, notwithstanding her grief. was
obliged to turn her back to the audience to
hide her laughter; the rest of the company
on the stage caught the cOntagion and
laughed too; the audience, though some of
them had sort of half-dedned impression
that that wasn't exactly the place where
the laugh ought to come in, nevertheless
overcame their scruples, and laughed loud
and long at the funny contre temps.- Stock.
