Who are the Partizans I

AT the commencement of the present un-
fortunate intestine war, Democrats ex.
habited, in various ways, their willing.
ness to forego partizan differences, and
unite heartily with all patriotic citizens who
desired to MAINTAIN the supremacy of the
Constitution, aud the indivisibility OF the
Union. They were told by those it pow
erthat there should be "no party now,'
and trusting to these professions, they ex-
pectcd that there waiver--not aban dom
ment--of party controversy, would be
met in the same spirit of lofty self sacri'
fee by Republicans; In this they were
sorely disappointed. The Abolition lead
ers of the Republican organization have
been more obstinate than ever in thrust
ing their peculiar notions upon the coun
try; in exhibiting tho sectional spirit and
sectional aims that have always governed
them and, worse than all, insisting that
the war shall be prosecuted for the worse
than partizan, because hagranty uncon-
stitutional, purpose of reducing the South,
ern States into conquered provinces, and
abolisbing the domestic institutions over
which they alone have sovereign control
Democrats have shown their readiness to
fight and to die for the Constitution and
| Union, and to sustain the Government BY
all the means in their power in asserting
the supremacy of the one, and the inviol
ability of the other. But they were moi
willing to embrace the ultra partizan doc
trines of Abolitionism, against which the J
have contended for the last thirty years
and they cannot be driven into the support
of these doctrines by any threats or In
Limitations, such as weak men, temper
arily raised to power commonly use foi
the purpose of tyranuizing over those wht
differ from them. A war for The Unio'
is one thipg-a war for hs Negro i
quite another. In the prosecution of th'
one, both party obligations and the pa
triotism which is higher than party, i'm
pei them to assist. But in waging the other
they have no warrant, l. therefore no righ
or disposition to take hand. The Unio
: was not m ade by or for the Negro, an
they will not fight for his freedom at tn
hazard of losing their own. Democrat
and conservative Unionists of the Mort
and South, have been driven into pal
tv attitude to beat back the extreme pal
tizanship of the Abolitionists. They hay
discovered the insineerity Of the assume
Union feelings of Abolition-Republicar

Wednesday, June 25, 1862, Evening }
Gen. Hooker, at o o'clock this morning,
advanced his division with the view Of oc'
cupying a new position. The result was
that his troops met with most determined
resistance from the enemy, which lasted
until o'clock in the afternoon, but the
Rebels we're forced to give way before the
invincible courage of our men.
During the day everything indicated q
general engagement, but the enemy, Tor
some reason or other, backed out it.
The troops all fought as gallantly as
ever. The loss on our side will be about
200 killed and wounded.
The following are among the wounded {:
; Col. Morrison, Volunteer Aid to Gen.
Palmer, wounded in the hand.
Capt Ragerty, of the I'd Excelsior Reg
iment, wounded in the leg.
The loss among the officers in the LIST
Massachusetts, Reg mcnt, which suffered
the most, is as follows:
Capt. Wild, wounded in the hand.
Capt Carruth, wounded in the breast
Capt. Chamberlain, wounded in the + CO.
Lieut.. Thomas wounded in the arm, am
pltated.
Lieut.. Dalton, wounded in the breast
Lieut.. Parkerson, wounded in the leg.
Our number of killed is small, most Of
our men being wounded.
The loss of the enemy is not known, but
it is believed to be equal to our own.
The camp of the kebels in front of Gen
Hooker was captured, and is now occupied
by bis troops.
The GROUND fought for was swamp
with thick uuderbrush, beyond which is
an open country. The woods intervening
between our troops and the enemy prevcu'

Two Napolean II Founders under Capt
, De RuSsy, succeeded in getting through
the swamp during the afternoon, and die
, excellent service.
An effort of the enemy to capture then
resulted in their being driven back viii
severe loss.
The result of to day is highly import

General Hallecks Order on Baggage
Trains

General Halleok's Order on Baggage
Trains.
An order has been issued by General
Halleck, which shows that new policy
has been inaugurated in the conducting
of our armies into the Southern States.
They are to be far less incumbered with
heavy baggage trains than heretofore,
and the burthens imposed upon private
soldiers arctic be reduced TO the smallest
weight which will comport with the
efficiency of the service. For the head
quarters Of each army corps, train Of
only four wagons will be allowed; for
that Of division or brigade, three; for a
full infantry regiment. six, and for a
| cavalry, three. Those vehicles VIII car
nv nothing except forage, cooking uten-
sils, ratiOns, hospital stores and officers
baggage. he
On their march, troops must be pre-
pared to biyOuac at all times, for which
purpose the large square tent known as
soaH tents, are henceforth to be dispensed
with except one for each General in com
mand, and one for every two officers on
his staff. Regimental and all subordi-
nate officers are TO have only heL-
ter tents, one being allowed TO
every two private soldiers, This
kink was in Produced by the French
in the Algerian campaign, as being less
bulky and heavy than any previously in
use. II is usually made about four and
half feet high, the sides slOaping from
the ridge pole all the way TO the ground.
After closing up the end, the whole tent
consists Of only three pieces. Not the
smallest advantage arising from its use
is that it can be put up or taken down in
a few minutes. II is fully as warm as
the wall tent, but less so than the Sibley,
which admits the use of stove in Il.
But we gather from Gen. Hallecl6's order
that IL is contemplated not TO lie idle
during the winter, but to keep marching
on" for which purpose a minimum Of
weight and bulk must accompany the
army.
A liberal exercise is made Of the pru-
ming knife in respect TO the baggage Of
both officers and privates. The former
are 10 be confined 10 BLANKETS, 'one small
yalise and moderate mess kit" The
men carrying their own shelter tents(eaeh
one half) viii reduce the contents Of
their knapsRcks as much as possible.
Due provision is made for accommodating
the sick and for so disposing these trains
that they will not obstruct the soldiers
on their mAroh.--M u Oonr.

They went out together, and II seems

they took rooms at the Fremont and

Yesterday, as Mr. Davidson himself
informs us, he again reconsidered the
matter, and more than intimafed that their
paths must diyerge. He drew on his over
coat to go out, TO which his wife objected.
He insisted, and remarking that be would

decision in regard 10 their fuiurcrela-
tons, passed out of the room and had de-
scended to the third step Of The stairs,
when the door opened behind him, and
simultaneously with the report OF the
pistol he felt the sharp sting of the ball
entering his side. The sequel we have
already narrated. Sheriff Bryan found
in her possession a box Of caps and some
powder and bullets Also bottle Of
vitrol, which she declared she had intend
ed TO throw upon her husband il the
pistol had failed. The Grand Jury, now
in session, returned an indictment to-
day, and the trial will probably take
place before Judge Test tomorrow. The
accused is middle aged woman OF
pleasing manners and rather progresses
ing appearance. She is richly aud taste
fully dressed II is due to her that we
should cay that the statements as to her
infdelity TO her marriage VOWS are the
simple allegations of her husband, and
although supported by DISPOSITIONS on
file in the divorce case now pending,
should not prejudice her case unless pro-
perly produced in evidence.
