VINO Is TO BLAME FOR THE REBrrL1os?-

VINO IS TO BLAME FOR THE REBEILIoN?--
Parson Brownlow, in recent letter says:
l stated before the Ohio Legislature as
have repeatedly said in the South, that the
South was to blame for this rebellion, and had
brought it upon the country without any just
cause. l stated that War tickets had entered
upon the Presidential track in 1860. and that
the Lincoln ticket had fairly beaten under the
forms Of law, and of the Constitution, without
fraud and violence, and that it was the duty of
all good citizens and patriots to aequiesce in
the action Of majority Of the American poo
pie. then went on 10 say that if the South,
in her mad career and folly, and at the bidding
of the wicked men and demagogues who had
inauguraIed Secession would force upon the
country the issue of no Slavery and the Union
or no Union and Slavery, was for the Union
though every other institution perish. l was
an unconditional Union man, and had very
little respect for mau who was not.

Ifr. Edior,--Thinkingit might interest tbs
Delaware county subscribers Of the Gazette
10 know what their boys are doing on the
Peninsula, 1 viii endeavor TO give brief. out
authentic, account of zone weeks experience.
Our Brigade (kimbalIs) left Alexandria on
Monday June 30th on transports-passed
Fortress Monroe on the morning of July lst
and disembarked at City Point about noop on
the 2ud. On our arrival the prospects were
anything but encouraging. Here was the
whole grand Army Of the Potomac, apparent
ly, in full retreat, while the guns or the enemy
could be distinctly heard as they belched forth
their iron messengers Of death among the de-
Neied band of patriots who were protecting
the rear. About 4 o'clock p. m, our brigade
was sent TO the front to check the advancing
rebels, and as we advanced we were heartily
welcomed by the Eastern troops. Our pro-
gress was greatly impeded by the mud, which
rendered the road almost impossible for wag-
ons, artillery and ambrlaaces, and consequent
y was alIiost efectually blockaJed by them.
1t was dark when the rear guard passed US,
and the rebels. for the time being, abandoned
the pursuit. Our brigade was drawn up in
battle line and slept on our arms. At day
light the enemy commenced sheIling 0ur camp
from position on our right which they bad
gained during the night. We moved off i'm
meliately 10 dislodge them. Our skirmishers
soon encountered those of the enemy and a
brisk fire was kept mp, while the brigade form
ed in line of battle. As we advanced. two
rebel batteries opened fire upon Us, sending a
perfect shower Of shot and shell among u.s.
1t is really marvellous how few of US were bit;
our regiment losing bat one killed Gus Whit
linger Of Delaware.) and Eve wounded. We
still advanced under cover ofa strip Of woods,
until within 500 yards Of the enemy, when
our artillery opened on them and they fell
back, leaving us iu possession of the ground
which we now occupy. Early on the morning
of the 4th the enemy appeared in force, and
endeavored to drive Us from our position, but
finding US too strong for him be wisely eonclu-
ded to Withdraw. Oar company was ont on
picket guard hast Monday. was on the out
post within 80 yards Of the rebel pickcts
who occupied rifle pits in the center Of a large
blackberry patch. This morning the enemy
have withdraw their pickcis in front of our
lines. and are falling back towards Richmond.
President Lincoln and Gen. Mcclellan rode
10y our lines last evening, and were vociferous-
ly cheered; our rebel friends mus have beard
as aud perhaps was the cause of tLeir pulling
up stakes in such hurry. I he Delaware boys
are generally well, and but one feeling exists
among them, in regard to our Commander-in-
Chief and that is the utmost confidence in him.
We led his van when he struck treason the
FIST blow in Western Virginia, and are proud
to occupy the same position in the Army OF
the Potomac.

Col. LAMAR OF GEoReIA.-Among the
MORALLY wounded and prisoners taken by our
troops il the battles near Richmond, is Col.
Lamar, who, it will be remembered, in defiance
of the law, and Of the imbecile Government at
the time, imported cargo of negroes from
Africa into the South about two years ago
an act of piracy for which he should have been
hung at the time, for he boldly avowed he
would do it, and actually brought the negroes
into port yet tho sticklers for the Constitu-
tion at the South refused to convict him, and
he for the time being escaped, but has now
met his Just reward Baltimore Clipper.

At an adjourned meeting Of the Republican
Congressional caucus, which was held in the
Capitol, on the 12th inst, the following patr-
otic resolution was adopted: A.,
RESOLVED, That we hold tito be the duty of
all loyal men to stand by the Union in This
hour of trial, and to unite heart and band in
earnest efforts for its maintenance against those
armed against it; to sustain with determined
resolution our patriotic President and his Ad-
ministration in their energetic efforts for the
preservation of the Union against its enemies
at home and abroad; to punish traitors aud
treason with fitting severity, and crush the pres
sent cauaeless rebellion, SO no flag of disunion
shall ever again be raised over any portion of
the Republic; and to this eud we earnestly in
vite the cooperation of all men who love their
country, in their entseayors to rstyindEe through
out all the States such patriotic fire as shall
utterly consume all who strike at the Union,
and who sympathizes with their treason and
Palliate their guilt.

The Xenia Torch Light thus exhumes the
anlecedents Of the men who controlled aud
shaped the policy of the recent Democratic
State Convention, and who intend TO shape the
administrative policy Of the State if entrusted
with its power:
We ask the loyal people of Greene county
to contemplate for a moment the political
character Of the leaders in the affair. Let
them remember that Aledary, the President
Of the Convention, is the editor Ola paper
at Columbus called the Crisis-that at the
time of lis formation, he published in his
puper the rebel Constitution, promulgated as
the supreme law of the Confederate States;
that he pronounced it superior to ours, and
recommended its adoption 10 our people
Let them remember that Judge Thurman, the
chairman Of the Committee on Resolutions,
is the recognized friend and comforter Of the
Secessionists at Cump Chase; that packages
for them are sent TO his care, and that he is
known over the Statea as the bitter enemy Of
the Government Let them remember that
Vallandigham. the leader, the master spirit
of this movement, has been notorious for bis
opposition TO the Government in its efforts
TO crush the traitors; and that on every ocea-
sion he has acted and voted-as to cripple and
obstruct the President and his friends in their
war agairst treason.
Finally, let them look at this assembly and
its lcading spirits; let them remember that
MedaIy, Thurman, Barley, Burchard, Val
lapdigham. &c. we're the friends and adyo-
Gates of Breckinridge in 1860; that their par
~ leader and his friends are now generals
and officers in the rebtl army, doing their ut
most to destroy our governments; and yet such
men, with such record have the brazen i'm
pudence to come before the people OF Ohio
who know them and their history, and ask
voters to place the dcstinics ofthe State in
their hands at such a time as this DID the
world ever witness such effroatry?
