Es@The Butternut papers in Ohio
arc straining their ingenuity, and ex-
haastins their powers of inventing
talsehood to stir up the prejudices Of
tho Ignorant aud virious against the
New England States The EnQuirer
fairly seethes with the fury of its slang
The Intention is evident. 1t is, if pos
sible,Sto work up their partisans to the
pitch for another division, excluding
New England, in the hope Of securing
permanent control Of what is left
To this end ,he tax law, the tariff, the
Presidents Proclamation, the inevita-
bic negro, and every >hins else is per-
yerted to the same end. Day by day these
papers vamp the old slang of the South,
with additions, against the Eastern
States. The most infa ammatory of the
conspirators never charged half the
grievances against the North, in justifi-
cation of their rebellion, that the En-
q"irer, and its compeers now days
charge upon the East. And the de-
sign is evidently the sane-to arouse
the passions of their p,rtisans in the
West to that degree of fanaticism that
will enable the leaders to precipitate
another division, with the view of an
ultimate transfer of the Western States
to the Southern Confederaoy.

Cen. sigel on Party Spirit and the Crisis.

Gen. Sigel has written a letter to
some distinguished citizens Of New
York, in which, after indorsing the
necessity of electing Gen. Wadsworth
for Governor, he says: "t
at is an enormous crime to expose
our devoted soldiers to the fdry of a
united, determined and vigorous enemy,
on account Of any hesitancy to use The
right means at the right time, or by
placing men ia high and responsible
positions, who, on aceoant Of their for
mer associations and pledges, can never
be trusted as sincere friends of .his Be
public, nor expected to strike fatal
blow to treason and rebellion.
This Republic is in danger, and can
not. be saved by those who sympathize
with the rebellion, who contemplate
disgraceful compromise, or who aim at
the establishment Of Slave Empire.
Peace cannot exist while two antag-
onistic principles govern in this land.
Therefore every Republican and patriot
should stand to the colors which honor
and protect him, and should vote for
those candidates only who are tried,
like Wadsworth; who are the most
earnestly devoted to the vigorous pros
ecution Of the war, ana are in favor of
such means as will permanently intro
duce liberty into the South.

We have heard an incident connected
with the draft of Cleveland which de-
serves to be placed on record, and as We
have seen no mention made of the cir
cumstance in the papers of that city, We
give it as related by Cleveland man.
The name of Amasa Stone was among
those drafted in Cuyahoga county, and
upon learning the fact he bid $500 for
substitute; shortly after man applied
for the position, and MIR. Stone wrote a
check for the above amount. Mr.. S.,
on making inquiries regarding the Pc
cuniary affair Of the man, learned that
he was poor and had wife and several
children dependent upon him. With
the true spirit Of patriotism he recalled
the check for $500 and wrote one for
two thousand dollars, and gave it to the
substitute. Cleveland should be proud
of such citizen.

How Is 1t.

Even the y. Y. HTuM has raised 4
clamor for the advance of the Army OF
the, Potomac. Heretofore, the Herata
has Leen the iercest of all the McClel-
Ian organs, It says,,h owever, that the
responsibility for the delay and do
nothing policy rests with Secretary
Stanton and not with Mcclellan. We
d9n6t know, Of course, how this ma y
be: we have had all confidence in
Stanton. But if he is, the cause Of the
terrible failures and blunders that are
raining the country, We say,4le him be
removed at once. No matter who is
the Jonah on the emptest-tost ship Of
State, let him b., CAST overheard. The
interests ofo this great nation are of too
momenteas1a a magnitude to be sacrificed
to the imbecility or treachery of any
man. t.es. BAD
bfThe Hereh says, the apprehension
has uecome general, that it is tho de-
sign to hold back the army until the
opening of cold weather gives an excuse

the&pring ofols63 will Gnd US as that
of 1862 did, with debt. of uncounted
nlillions piling up forts support. That
somebody intends this, there can be o
Doubt The motive for it, as well as
the fact itself, was clearly stated by
Mi; Key. No other assignable pur-
Pose can be imagined. 1t is to so ex-
haust the resources of the Free States
as to con,qst them to a submission to
such terms with the rebels, as will save
slavery, and reinstate4 the. conspirators
IN power'again.y And to this ,eid every
sympathiSer with treason and slavery
is working. And to this consummqtion
it will come at last, unless the people

NEWPORT News, Va, Oct. 20, 1862.
Editor Telegraph - Accompanying
this, I send you a sound Democratic pa
per, published in loyal Pennsylvania,
which | think contains as near treason
as it is possible to get. recommend tito
your attention, and would like to know
what you think of the loyalty of any
man who will get up such stuff. For
my part, come out for the Union and
the enforcement Of the laws, and | think
that such doings, in the loyal States,
are one great reason of the continuance
Of the war And | think that if all
such cursed scoundres we're hung up,
the rebels would conclude that we were
in earnest at last, and the effect would
be advantageous to us.
am three years man; have been
out fifteen months, and am not afraid of
the balance of the time, but would be
glad to come home to stay with my wife
and little ones in the hills of old Meigs.
But as long as the rebels get SO much
encouragement in the loyal States, we
will be apt to have no peace, and the
"powers that be" had better clean out
''secesh'' in the North, and then a0e will
clean it out in the South.
The company are all well at present,
and in good spirits, and we are having a
very good time, as there are no troops
here but US; the rest of GU: Regiment is
at Suffolk, and are having a little skir-
mish almost daily. This is all l have
to say at present. Truly Yours,
MEIGS.
The above is from Democratic citi-
zen of this County, now serving his
country in the 11th Reg't. Pennsylva-
MIA Cavalry. He is true, however, to
the flag of his country, and has no SYM
pathies with treason or traitors. We
have received the paper referred to, and
agree with the writer, that it is filled with
treason. We don't believe there is as
dirty and malignant a rebel sheet pub
ished in the entire South That such
papers are thechief support of the hopes
of the rebels, is beyond doubt.

B9 The recent order of the rebel
Gen. Beauregard is being faithfully OBJ
served by all his subordiaates. The
order was to- call every body opposed to
the ,secessionists, whether In the army
or out; of IL, .AeoLIrIoNIsTs." This,
he said, would have +'stinging effect"
and many would join the South rather
than be called .sAbolitionists Hence,
in has official report and public orders,
he has ceased to call the Union soldiers,
or any eae supporting the Government,
by any other designation than "Abo-
litionists" ALI his subordinates in
the North have complied with this or
der, without an exception. The Gin
cinnati Eaqairer is especially jealous
in the cause. There is not man who
supports the Government who is not
there designated by the term "Aboli-
ZIONIST According to the Southern
conspirators every Union soldier is an
Abolitionist, and according to the En-
quirer, every supporter Of the war in the
North is an "Abolitionist," likewise
The harmony is becoming as perfect in
expression between the Northern and
Southern traitors, as it has always Teen
in sentiment. 80

Of the Army of the Potomac: The en-
tire loyal North demands that ta is i'm
.mense army shall do something besides

Eyerybody knows that it is strong
enough to crush the rebellion with re-
sistless power. And everybody knows,
too, that the men, and many of the
officers, are chafng under the disgrace
full delay. A few of the commanders
may have a ''gameas to play, as an
nounced by Maj. Key. But the re-,
moyal IF Gen. Buell., and the unms-
taxable impatience of the loyal people
will compel those Generals o,move or
be superseded. True, the j secesh
journals say the President dare not re-
move them. But they said the same
thing about Buell., and threatened dire,
consequences if he were Superseded -
Well, he was shelved, and although the
GIN, ENQuiter howls over it, one univer-
sal burst of joy has been. the response
of loyal men everywhere. No mutiny
has followed There might be more
danger in the. removal of some others,

Hon. y. \. PLANTS Dear Sr:-So
far in the history of the present war, my
command has not troubled you or your
subscribers with lengthy accounts of
our long marches, or our weary watches,
merely for the purpose of seeing our
names in the Telegraph, which is, occa
sionally, a welcome visitor in our camp,
making all joyous and cheerful as if a
fresh arrival had come from our homes
to greet US with the news. But now,
that We have at last been in the fore
front of battle, I herewith inclose the
report Of Gen. Veatch, to Capt. Binmore,

port to Capt f. w. Fox, aid to Gen.
Veach, aud copy of the schedule Of
property captured at the Hatchie, and
brought into Bolivar by my command.
Vas sorry to see, by the account of
some correspondent Of the Cincinnati
ConamerctuI that our friends are to be
disappointed, in a measure, at our not
having done all that We are said to have
done, but I am satisfied that wefdid all
that our friends had any right to expect
Of u.s. l am we'll aware of the fact that
it is mark of weakness to be proud of
anything we may have in this life, but
so far as the 9TH Ohio Battery is con-
cerned, | acknowledge my weakness
Our brave and noble comrade in battle,
Eli Oliver, lost his right arm near his
shoulder, and is badly burned on his
neck and breast, butts doing we'll, and
will be sent home as soon as the nature
of his wounds will permit. -.s
Now [ ask the citizens of Meigs
County whether they will allow US to
loose the two II ID. Howitzers thus as
signed to our keeping, for the want
of men to turn them successfully against
the enemies of our Government, which,
1 begin to think, will cease to be a Gov
ernment, unless the people stSp quarreliug
