Congressional Nomination

The Congressional Convention which
met at Sparta on the oath ult, perform
cd the object of its meeting by re nom
mating Hon. LUrHER HANcuErr by a
unanimous vote.
The convention acted prudently and
periodically in giving Mr.. HANcHETr a
re nomination. During the time he has
been in Congress he has proved himself
to be a faithful, vigilant and loyal repre-
sentative, and if any objections were ev-
err made to him, the grounds were so tri-
fling and ridiculous that it was foolish to
name them. On all the great questions
of the day he has stood forth q sound
and reliable patriot, and 10y his speeches
and his votos made manifest his ardent
desire to give the Government all the aid
in his power to crush out treason and to
punish the traitors by every means by
which their perfidy can be reached.
That the nomination will be satisfac-
tory to large majority of the voters of
the District, we have not doubt. In
times like the present, of peril to our
most highly priced privileges, loyal, true
hearted men are not tenacious of party
or personal preferences. Competency,
honesty and unconditional determination
to put down the rebellion and to hesitate
at no justifable mean. to accomplish that
end, are tho qualifications that the peo-
pie desire to find in candidate at the
present crisis, and in all these resp 3cts,
Mr.. HANcHErT has proven himself to be
eminently entitled to tho confidence of
every true hearted lover of his country
and its free institutions.
1t is not yet known if there will be
another candidate in the field or whether
Mr. Fl. viii DO permitted to walk over
the course at his loisuic, |; is probable

Hon. Luther Hanchett.

BY reference to the proceedings of the
Union Congressional Convention, held
at La Crosse on Wednesday last, it will be
seen that The body endorsed Mr.. Han
chett's course for the past Congressional
term, by according to linn the nomination
for the next.
This is just and right. Tn times of
CAGE, when no extraordinary exigencies
surround the Government. it is always
considered to be for the best interests of
the country to return to Congress those
Members who have been true to the trusts
devolved upon them so long as they are
thus true. How much more important
is it, that now-when the very life OF the
nation is imperiled, and interests-the
greatest ever committed to the keeping
of leg isatiye body, must be acted upon
we should be represented in Congress
by men of talent, energy and experience.
That Luther Hanchett, is both talent
ell and energetic, it is only necessary to
consult the history of his public and pri-
vate life to ascertain; and bis two years
in the National Legislature gives him an
advantage over his competitor SToDDARD
which the people will readily appreciate.
AS to his record during the term now
nearly closed. VIC believe that no man
from Wisconsin, or any other State, with
the diversity and extent of business in
teresls to be attended to at Washington,
which has devolved upon him, has ever
more faithfully served bis constituents,
than Mr.. HANCnETT; and his re-nomina-
ton, both by the Republican AMI Union
Conventions, was simply an act Of JUS
lice to faithful public sentiment.

Candidate for Congregation
Lufher Hanchett.

AS was announced last week, and rs
appears from the proceedings of the con-
vention published on the inside of to day s
paper, Hon. Luther Hanchett, was nom
mated for Congress by the Union Con-
vention which met at La Crosse on the
Ist, inst. No better nomination could
have been made. Mr. Hanchett has pro
ven himself an able and loyal representa-
tive, and we believe no man in the dis
trict is better paepared or qualified to stay
up the Administration in its conduct of
the war, and TO give vigor to the actions
of Congress upon tho vital issues of
the times. There can be no question a
bout the policy Of returning a man to
Congress from this district who has had
Congressional experince and who is in
fluential at our National Capitol. This
is no time to try experiments. Mr.. Han
chett has been tried, and his course in the
past gives assurance that for the future he
will faithfully reflect the loyal sentiment
of the people of this district. Whatever
may the trivial complaints which have
been uttered here and there against him,
on account of seeming neglect. we are
sure that al. oval men will unite jim Civ
ing Mr.. Hanchett hearty and cordial
support. BY so doing they will feel that
they have a representative in Congress,
who shares their COW c.ions on national
matters, and has the ability to give them
forcibc utterance.

A convention called in the name ofno
party but open to all loyal men, was held
ut Sparta, and nominated Hon. Luther
Hanchett for Congress. 1t did not pre-
tend to be Repub lean convention. 1t
passed resolutions entirely free from any
party characteristic. Mr.. Hanchett's
course in the LAST Congress he's been re-
peatcdly termed conservative even by
his opponents. No complaint has been
made of any of bis votes. Now how has
the action of the Union men, who profess
such dstaste to political agitation squar-
ed with their professions? If they were
honest would they not have endorsed
Mr.. IIaHchett, and thus manifested dis
position to secure that unanimity among
the people and that absence of agitation
which they pretend to desire? But in
stead Of that they proceeded to bring out
an opposition candidate, and as if to prove
to the world the utter hypocricy of their
professions, and attest that their real
object is solely to create political agitation
for Interior purpose, they selected a man
whose general view on public questions
are identical with those of Hancbctt 1t
would afford some little justification to
theirco ,rse if they could show that their
candidate, although entertaining similar
views, possessed superior qualifications,
but here their action was equally unfortu-
nate for them. We have no disposition
to disparage Col. Stoddard. He is gen
tleman for whom we have great respect.
But it is notorious that he is an infirm old
man, wholly incapable of any severe phys
ical or mental effort, and entirely incom-
potent, by reason of age and infirmaity,to
give proper attention to bis duties if elcc-
ted.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IL.
Official dispatch from General Buell.,
PerryviIle, Kentucky. via. Bardstown,
Oct. 10th.
TO Maj. Gen. Ha2eck, Commander-iis-
Chief
1 have already advised you of the
movements of the army under my COM
mand. From Louisville more or less
skirmishing has occurred daily with the
enemy's cavalry. Since then it was sup
posed the enemy would give battle at
Bardstown. My troops reached that
point on the 4th, driving out the eneny's
rear guard of cavalry and artillery. The
main body retired towards Springfield,
whittier the pursuit was continued. In
the evening sent corps under Gen.
Gilbert on the direct road from Spring
field to Perrysville, who arrived on the
It'll inst. within two miles of town, where
the enemy was found TO be in force.
The left column, under Gen. McCook,
come mp on the Knoxville road about 10
o'clock yesterday on the 9Th inst. 1t was
ordered into to position to attack and a
strong reconnaissance directed.
AT four o'clock / received request
from Gen. McCook for re-enforcements,
and learned that he learned that the left
had been severely engaged for several
hours, and that the right and left of that
corps were being turned and severely
pressed. Re-enforcements were immedi-
ateIy sent forward from the centre. Or
ders were also sent from the right to the
column under Gen. Crittendon, which was
advancing by the Lebanon road, to pnsh
forward and attack the cnemy's left, but
it was impossible for it to get position
to secure any decisive result.
The action was continued until dark.
Some fighting also occurred on the
centre,
The enemy was everywhere repulsed,
but not without some temporary advan-
tagc on the left. The several corps were
put in position during the night, and
moved at six o'clock this morning.
Some skirmishing occurred with the
enemy's rear guard. Tue main body had
fallen back in the direction of Harrods-
burg.
l have no accurate report of our loss.
1t is probably pretty heavy, including
valuable officers. Generals Jackson and
Terrill, regret to say, are among the
killed. (Signed(
