great vigor and precision, and the
final success was greatly due to its
effect.
The enemy suffered most severely.
One rebel regiment lost two.thirds OF
its number in the attempt to capture
Weidsch's battery, which cut them to
pieces with canister at fifty PAGES.
The rebel batteries were repeatedly
silenced and forced to abandon their
positions. Col. Cluserct, with his
weak brigade, took and held the cen

his encampment there tonight. Our
forces we're outnumbered at all points,
but we have occupied the rebel lines
and forced them to retreat. The loss
is heavy on both sides, the enemy

most criminally guilty of most iu,-

the affair. TO the end, that they and all

species OF political intrigue which
will sting as doth the adder" when
you are once encrcled within its folds.
1t is probably known the world
over that our present Constitution con-
tains what is called the BLACK
Clause" This is provision for pro-
hibiting, under pain of a barbarous
and cruel penalty any negro or mu-
latto coming into the State, and re-
naming over ten days. This, as all
of course must know, was q Demo-
cratic measure. The more cnlighten.
ed, refined, and moral portion Of our
population ever held this relict of
Barbarism in the most loathsome alb
horrencc, and were fully determined
on reversing the matter as soon as
they should gain the ascendancy Of
power. Some other matters of mi
nor importance and which had become
stale and burdensome also demanded
a reform. In pursuance of this, when
the Republicans had gained SO signal
triumph in the election Of Lincoln,
they felt their strength and resolved
on making strike for reform in the
Constitution. The requisite steps
were taken and the election ordered.
The Democrats well knew the strength
of the liberal element, and knew equal
ly well, the crushing effects the cleo
ton would have upon their pet policy,
the crushing into the dust all those of
African extraction and strengthening
and rendering permanent the bull
warks of Slavery. This, now, was
the crisis with them, and the question
of the first magnitude was, how their
threatened defeat was to be averted.
That the Republicans had the will,
the determination and the power was
a settled fact and hence desperation
looked them squarely in the face. What
could they do? They had never
known anything but to rule, and now,
the thought of being driven to sue
cumb to Black Republicanism was
more than they could brook. Their
only alternative was to suffer defeat
or gain success by some new and
hitherto unknown invention or strate-
gy. They set their master-spirits to
work. A ray of hope cleaned upon
them. The project was conceived
and brought forth to raise the cry Of

by his mournful jeremiade, such as
"When we have the principal of the
County Bonds to pay. and ten years
accumulated interest, we had better
pack up and leave" &c.-that they
scarcely knew how they did vote, or
what they voted for-for dishonest we
do not believe they are. Such, we
say, is the charitable conclusion.
As we understand it, the signers Of
the majority report believe there is
some prospect of railroad being

County holds for her bonds is perfect
