Yankee General Curtis IS attempting to
escape, his position is untenable. lie is ap-
palled by the dangers that surround him in
his terror, He resorts to the desperate ex-
pedition of moving TO the South along White
river: we have already blown up one of bis
iron guUboats, crippled another, and can hold
the river against his feet. The question
now is; shall his army reach the tieet beloWf
You can prevent il, the power IS IN your
hand, the plan is not q secret; l proclaim 1t
to you all, il it is not carried out the respon-
sibility will rest on you.
Take your gun in your hand and amuni-
tiCn-every man Of you mount your horse
or 90 a foot; do not wait an hour; lose no
time in holding meetings; move towards the
enemy by the shortest road; join the first
company you oyerlake upon she march; press
upon the invaders from every direction;
attack him day and night. kill his scouts and
pickets; kill his pilots and troops on trans
ports; cut off his wagon trains; lie in ambush
and surprise his detachments; shoot his
mounted officers; destroy every pound oi
meet and -four, every ear of corn and stock
Of lodder, oats and wheat that can fall into
his hands; fell trees as thick as in rats, on
all the roads before him; burn everything,
and block up the lords; hang upon his front,
flank and rear, and make the ring of your
rifles and shot-guns the accompaniment oi
every foot of his retreat; let everys man

him especially, and that 1t is the appeal of a
bleeding country to her sons for deliverance,
Our army in the field will do its part if you
will do yours.

Court has commenced Its session at Cleveland
where am relied upon in several matters
very important to the parties. If, under
these circumstances, you can designate some
one else to make tue tour with Messrs. Ew-

detriment. II, however, you should think
differently would use my utmost endeavors
as soon as can get to Cleveland, to have
the Court postpone my business thele, and

Hsefatding Enlistments.

The Ohio State Journal and Clncln>
natl Gazette call the late Democratic
Convention Secesh Convention. The
delegates from each county to that
Conyention ought to appoint one OF
their number to go to Columbus and
Cincinnati, each armed with q raw
hide, and give these editors a crack a
piece across the tleshy part Of "the in
tellect." 1t is time such epithets
should cease, and if throwing grass
will not stop it, the virtue Of stones
should be tried by every Democrat Sc
assailed. The Democrats to a man
are in favor Of the Union, and were il
not for their assistance, Columbus
Cincinnati and the National Capital
to>day; would be in possession Of th'
rebels, and Mr.. Lincoln and the Cabi
net be down at Richmond in tobacco
warehouse.
We ask Gov. Tod if he expects t.
get Democrats to enlist by the course
these editors are pursuing. 1t is
poor way to thank a man, by abusing
him after he has saved you from
drownipg.-TOhio Democrat.

A EaIieM Angel.

A court scene lately transpired in Wsrren
Pa, which is but seldom enacted in courts Of
Justice, and shows desperation difficult 70
parallel in the history OF crime in any coun-
try. The Mail, in describing the scene
says: .7 HaHFE
When Anna J. Clements was brought in
to be sentenced, Judge Johnson proceeded
to lecture her on the crime OF larcency and
gave her some good advice. She stood bold
and defiant, frequently interrupting him with
insoent remarks. Her black eyes fairly
flashed fire and vengeance As he closed
with two years sentence in the penIten.
tiary, she yelled out, cant you give ME q
longer sentence you id old --?" and let
fly four or five stones one after the other like
lightning. The Judges ducked their heads
and lodged barely escaping a hit. The she
bounded like a wild cat for the Judge, ard
actually got partly behind the bench before
she was seized and held, while she yelfed and
struggled with the strength Of strong man.
We never saw such desperation. She would
no doubt have stabbed the Judge i! she hal
been armed, and we hear it said that shc
does carry knife. She is young, of medi.
um height. finely formed and really hand
some. Isn't it strange that women so gifted
by nature can fall so low? .5s@

A SOccinen of the Liberty OF
the Press Allowed Republican AZ
Vos.cnaiS

The Quincy Qllinois) Tribune, a German
Republican paper, lately contained the fol-
lowing article.
"The American nation bleeds just now un.
der the blows Of the Nemesis Tor the crime
OF slavery, which both sections are guilty OF.
With every new blow, with evey death news
that reaches the parental house, spark OF
enlightenment comes, and our youth dies and
bIeeds therefore, not in vain. The longer
the chastisement lasts, the more thoroughly
will be the change A good deal has hap
pened already. The army has become Abo'
litionzed, and is becoming more SO day by
day. She would long ago have run home, Il
she could, as her officers. The answer to
the Presidents call for 100000 O,OON
will be q terrible verdict for his war policy
every body will remain at home, and the
border States had well look to their sell de-
fense, For from the Administration We
need not look for protection against jackson
columns. She will be forced to concription
and then the people will feelihow foolish III
to refuse the arm Of the negro that ne ha
been offered.
ave hope then to get an Infamous peace
mediation of France and England, as II
Mexico, and then forced conscrption is D
impossible as the arming Of the negro. Th
financial misery will do her share, and the
well, then--we hope to have changs II
Government, either by abdication or i'm
peachment." .,-.
II there is any such thing as treason ]
words, it is certainly found in abundance ]
that article. We venture to say, however
that not one English Republican paper wi
condemn it, They shut their eyes to sue
manifestations, but engage in the more con
genial work of slandering patriotic Demo

From the Army Of ihe Potomne.

Army Correspondenee OF the Timesl
WAsHISeTOE, July l6.-The position Of
the man body ofour army near Harrison,s
landing remains unchanged. Yesterday 9
squadron OF the 7th u. s. cavalry went ont
a mile beyond the picket line for the purpose
Of oipreTenting surprise TO htigue party on
duty at point in the rrar.
The enemy's piekets were discovered half
mile in advance, for upwards Of three hour,
the two parties set quietly watching the
movements OF each other, until at length the
enemy became exceedingly restless and
showed signs OF hostility. The 9Th allowed
him to advance lew yards and then gave
him q volley from their carbines. Ahw
shots were fired in return by the Rebels ai<
ter which they galloped off to their original
position. No one was injured on our side.
The enemy lost three wounded and ons
taken prisoner. The main fore Of the reb-
els is not less than 10 miles from our sxte-
rior. line, that would locate them on Trent
and Gaines Hills, the former of which is on
the west and the latter on the east side Of
the Chickahominy. The new base of opera.
tions will lead to our approaching Richmond
from another quarter than that Of Mechauics-
vile or Fair Oaks. The public will readily
perceive the direction most likely to be ts-
ken by the army. The question now Is,
when will active operations be commenced?
Give us renforceWents and we will give
you Richmond. Reinforcements have already
arrived, but do not fear repletion. The more
men we have and the sooner they JOIN Us tho
better it will be ior themselves, the country
and the cause. st5.-f ,tf

truce, went up tho river yesterday Tor the
purpose of bringing down our wounded and
sick. She returned at late hour last night
with about 20J on board. ,.a..-rl.t

HOW N.

Our information from this growing
State, is of a character which almost
warrants us in believing that the De-
mocracy will this fall win complete
and permanent victory. They are mo-
wing with unanimity andvigor which
always foretells success. Iowa, once
more from under the corrupt rule of
Abolitionists and deserters from the
Democratic party, who conspired to-
gether for Office and plumber, will rise
like phoenix from the ashes. Iowa
will then take her position and press
on to that which she has all the ele'
ments of beings great, powerful and
prosperous State Crisis.

A Hint.

A cotemporary observes that Major
Jack Downing once said to Gen. Jack
son: 3ai fa- f5'fs @o @
"Gin'ral, L have always observed that those
persons who have great deal TO say about
being ready to she'd their last drop of blood,
are amazin' purtic'lar about the first drop"
There are some Of the same class OF
people left in this country They are
wonderful valiant in telling what should
be done to the rebels, favor the raising
ofarmies by thousands, plead earnestly
for others to enter the service of the
country, but never offer THEIR OWN
precious bodies? You can generally
tell then. by their noisy habits, and
clustering method of attacking better
people than themselves. Poor fellows,
they don't know what a laughing stock
they are for others.

lsn's late movements, to enlist the President
in their cause and secure the renewal Of
Little Mac" but their tTeAs0nable designs
have been happily frustrated. all iuture en-
dsavors to bring about their long favored
plan will prove unavsiling and ike their
scheme Tor placing Fremont over Mcclellan,
by securing the passage Of a law which al
lows the President to appoint officers Of the
same grade to duty in the field. without reg
ard to rank it will recoil and discomfit the
authors. 1t is rather tender question now
with them, they supposed that if law
was passed authorizing the President to
assign officers OF the same grade, Major
Generals for example, to commands without
regard to seniority. that he would probably
in the exercise Of this license place Major
General Fremont in command Of the Army
Of the Potomac over Major General McClel-
Ian although the latter is the senior. What
a reverse it must have been to their cherished
plans when the President, taking advantage
of the law they had given him,-sppointing
Major General Pope to the command Of the
Department of virgini. including Frsmont's
army; Pope, be it understood, is Fremonrs
junlor. May all their future plans and
machinaticns terminate as successfully.

A few days since the Hon. John P. Hale,
Republican United States Senator from New
Hampshire said:

corruptions, and from the profigacy prac'
tced in the various departments OF the Gov
ernment, than it is from the enemy in the
field"
AS a commentary upon that we find the
following in the New York Journal Of Com
nerce: .....
1--WE have before us letter OF the Clerk
ofthe House Of Representatives, in answer to
d resolution Of the House on the 9th ult.,
transmitting an account of the expenses OF
Select Committees appointed by the House.
The account shows the profit made by mem
bers Of Congress, (who are paid also by the
wear, as every one knows when they serve
on Select Committees. The items are most
ly small, but the aggregate makes thousands
oi dollars. The items are chiefly mileage, al
ten cents mile, and expenses at three
dollars day Perhaps these charges are
reasonable and proper, but on looking dowr
the account we are startled at two items
which are inexpicable, according to ou
views of the duty OF Senators, and the objec
Of Government in paying them an annua
salary. s.. ....
