Democratic Assoclation.

The Democrats Of Dayton and
vicinity meet tonight for the pur-
pose of adopting Constitution and
declaration of principles, as basis of
organization for a Democratic Asso-
citation. In union there is strength.
Democrats unite. Unite for labor in the
glorious cause of the Government which
your fathers established, for the purpose Of
securing to themselves, and to you, and to
your children after you, the blessings Of
personal liberty, freedom Of speech, free
dom OF the press, perfect liberty of con-
science, and freedom from taxation, except
so far rs necessary to provide for the sup
port of the Government itself. In order
to secure to yourselves = continuance of
those blessings, you must restore that
government in its original purity. You
must restore the Constitution-once the
Supreme law Of the land-in its pristine
vigor, and thus, by this means alone, can
you restore the Union, its creature.
The late victories achieved by the peo-
pie at the hallot-box, have spoken in
thunder tones, to the enemies of free
institutions, who now control the affairs of
the nation. Bolts are loosened, and bars
are broken, and the oppressed go free. By
telegraph we learn from Boston that "by

that prisons walls have crumbled. Men
of the people to you we speak. Learn your
power, and unite for further efforts, for
greater labor, and for higher triumphs.
Ambitious and designing men have for
years sought to overthrow this glorious
government by sowing the seeds of dis

spirit, refers to the alleged stealing Of public
arms by Secretary Floyd, aud their transpor-

by the General as his authority, no public

FROM BALrIMORF.

BATnIORE, May %.
During the day 100 persons were knock
ed down in different parts of the cith. In
one or two cases ropes were brought out
and preparations were made for hanging
the parties to lamp posts Two men were
stabbed, but not dangerously
Among those attacked was Robert Nc
Lane, late Minister to Mexico, who was
saved by the police.
Two members of Kenley's regiment have
arrived in the city They report they
were attacked by large cavalry force
under Ashby, and several regiments of
infantry.
The fight commenced at twelve o'clock
and continued till night, when the infantry
force succeeded in surrounding them.
The first fight and repulse took place
east Of the Shenandoah, and finding the
force too great he retreated to the west
side, destroying the principal bridge on
the west side of the river He made an
other stand, and Knapps battery moved
the rebels down with shell and grape
They fred in all nearly two hundred
rounds.
Kenby received a musket shot in the
neck during the first attack, but continued
ON horseback until the close of the day,
when he was placed in an ambulance per-
fectly exhausted.
The last fight took place about four
miles this side of Front Royal, his effort
being to fail in order; expecting reinforce
rnehts momentarily from Gen Banks
A member Of Knapp's battery, who es-
capped, says the Maryland regiment fought
bravely, and that Colonel Henley led them
frequently to bayonet charges He also
says that on the third approach of Ashby,
he displayed white flag until within pis-
tol range, when Col Henley ordered to
cease firing. The white flag was then
drawn down, and lhe enemy rushed on our
troops, cutting and slashing, and refusing
all quarter. H

Miller are both reported wounded and

FROM RANKS, Division.

New YORK, MAY 26.
The Herald's correspondent from Banks
division writes that 1900 men had been
added to the rebel force in the Shenandoah
valley, and that the whole force was said
to number from $4,000 to 10000, with "a
pieces of artillery, one of which was "a
FOUNDER riaed gun. at|
On the 9th of May he said there was a
large rebel force in the mountains in their
vicinity, but that Gen. Banks had enough
men to keep them in check.
But it appears that on the 10Th both Gen.
Shields and Gen Geary were Withdrawn
from Gen. Banks command and their troops
transferred to MeDowelrs.
In letter of the 18th we find that these
Generals and their forces had left to ioin
Mcdowell, and that two days previously a
union had been effected between the com
mands Of the rebel Generals johnson, Jack
son and ElweIl, and they were marching
upon the divided and reduced forces of
Banks.
The telegraph now brings us the lnteIIi-
geRce that Gen. Banks has fallen back be-
fore a superior force Of the rebels, who are
occupying the whole Of the Shenandoah
valley, which has cost us so much trouble
TO rescue from their clutches.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Times special: TX
We have passed a very exciting day in
Washington. The intelligence received
last evening, to the effect that Gen Banks
had fallen back from Strasburg to Win
chester, was understood to indicate rather
a precautionary measure on his part than
the result Of any immediate movement of
the enemy.
The tidings Of this morning announcing
the occupations Of Winchester By Jackson,
and the withdrawal Of Banks, after an en-
gagement of six hours, in the direction Of
Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry, placed
matters in a new light, and aroused seri-
Gus apprehensions not only for the safety
Of his little command, but for the Balti-
more & Ohio R. r., the city Of Baltimore,
and even the Capital
Lister in the day the report Of the rioting
in Baltimore, and the rOut of the entire
force Of Banks by the quick march and
overwhelming numbers Of Jackson, greatly
intensified the excitement.
The secession sympathizers are too
greatly elated TO conceal their joy, and
openly express their belief that the hosts
of JEFF. Davis will overrun the District
Of Columbia within twenty-four hours.
The reports Of riOting in Baltimore was
doubtless exaggerated, but have given the
enemies Of the Union here increased bold
ness this evening. At no time since the
disaster Of Bull Run have they been st
vauntinga defiant.
Among loyalists the feeling is one ofrs.
gret that By somebody's blunder cur course
in the valley Of the Shenandoah shotiJ
have been SO seriously set back, and thl
enemy given such decided advantage.
Great sympathy is expressed for the On
ion men Of Winchester and vicinity.

cavalry we're fording the stream, The water
being very low.
The order double quick was given, and
the PederAls took to the pike, where anoth-
er stand was made, Col. Henley addressing
the men, and telling them that their only
chance was to stand and fight TO the last,
especially as the rebel cavalry were fast
pushing on and displaying a black flag.
Capt. Smith states that he did not see them
display the white flag
A second stand Was made and shots ex-
changed, when the New York cavalry, still
in the rear Of the column, broke and re-
tired, riding through the ranks Of the in
fantry. ,-
A part Of the Maryland command retired
to wheat field, and there made another
stand, firing rapidly and with deliberate
decision. Presently on came the rebel
cavalry, cutting right and left, and yelling
like Indians @ taH
In some instances neither the dying or
wounded we're spared, and in two instan-a
oes the Captain saw the rebels draw their
pistols and shoot them in the head whilst
laying on the roadside The Captain told
ths men they, had better escape as best
they could. --l g

FROM BALTIsTORR.

BALTIMORE, May 26.
The following is the statement of Capt.
Geo. Smith, Of the FIRST Maryland regi-
ment, who succeeded in effecting his es-
cape in the fight at Front Royal.
About1 o'clock In the afternoon a negro
mounted on horseback came dashing into
camp, crying out that the rebels were COM
ing in great numbers, and they will sur
round you and cut you off. A
At first the men laughed at him, saying
they had waited SO long for them that they
did not believe word Of it. ILL
As soon, however, as Col Henley saw
the man he became satisfied of their ap-
proach. -
The long roll was beaten, and the men
responded, springing hastily to arms and
forming in line by companies.
Very soon the rebels made their appear
anee, and strange TO say not single gun
was fred by the pickets Of the 1st Mary
land regiment. It may have been That in
consequence of a sudden turn in the road
they were surprised and captured.
Co. A was ordered to deploy as skirmish-
ers, and support a section Of Knapp )
Pennsylvania Battery, which mustered
about 40 men. In the meantime the Lieut.
Col. of the 29th Infantry, with small de-
tachment of his men who had been acting
as pioneer corps, also formed and pre-
pared to receive the enemy, The Battery
was. soon engaged, and discharged sho,
and she'll for near. two hours, until nearly
all its ammunition had been expended.
The firing was spirited, and there is nc
doubt Of its efficiency. Unable, however
to Withstand such overwhelming force,
the order was given to retire, which was
done, and the entire column moved Ovei
the Shenandoah river, the retreat being
covered by company Of the 9th N. Y
cavalry, about eighty strong. Whilst
passing over the bridge, the Captain dis
tinctly saw the rebel forces. TheIe was 3
very strong column Of cavalry, cay fotn
