WASHINGTON, June l3.-The war Dcpart-
ment has received the following:
Headquarters lNoaatam Department. Harr;.
sonburg Va, June 10.-In nv despatch of
yesterday omitted to state that Col. Cheseret,s
brigade, consisting of the Goth Ohio 9Th yir-
ginia' afterwards supported by the Garibaldi
Guards, formed our advance and commenced
the battle OF Cross Keys by sharp skirmishina
at O'clock in the morning. During the day
they obtained possession Of the cnemys ground,
which was disputed foot by foot, and only with.
drew at evening, when ordered to retire to a
suitable position for the night
The skill and gallantry displayed by Chescret
on this and frequent former occasions during
the pursuit in which we have been engaged de-
serves high praise. Respectfully,

Casey's Division at Fair Oaks.

The following important dispatch has been
received from Major General Mcclellan:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TIE PoToMAc,
Thursday, June 5, 1862
To Hon. e. II. Stanton, Secreta,yof Var:
My dispatch of the lst inst, stating that Gen.
Caseys Division, which was in the first line,
gave away unaccountably, and discreditably,
was based upon official statements made to me
before arrived upon the field of battle, and
while l was there, by several commanders.
From statements made to me subsequently,,
by generals Casey and Naglee, am induced to
believe that portions of the division behaved well,
and made a most gallant stand against superior
numbers, but at present the accounts are too
conflicting to enable ME to discriminate with GER
tainty. When the facts are clearly ascertaned,
the exceptional good conduct will b, properly
acknowledged.

Ovarian Operation.
hIR EprToR =:


AS the readers of your paper will
remember observing the announcement, some
time ago, of the removal of an Ovarian Tumor,
performed by Dr. w. L. Atlee, of Philadelphia,
on the person of Miss Catherine d. Glenn, OF
Oberton, near Woodbery, this County, have
thought it expedient as spectator of this diff
ficult surgical operation, to make known the
anxiously looked for result Although she had
been greatly reduced in bodily strength, and
her recovery for time given up, her friends,
expecting soon to sec the monster Death, APP
proach her languid Frame yet, since the angel
OF her deliverance from that mortifying tempo
raj afiction (as she termed him) has visited her,
the restoration Of permanent health, alienation
from all pain, and n return to her former Vi
vacity Of nature, have been her experience
On Thursday, the 1st day of May, 5 weeks
from the time the operation was performed, she
visited one of her neighhors and partook of a
hearty repast, during which time her attending
physician, Dr. Smith, of Woodbcrry, paid her
q visit, and remarked that she was doing well,
and hoped that she might continue to do so,
which has been the case to the present time.
On Saturday and Sunday following, she attcn-
ded Divine service, at st. Johns Lutheran
Church, and now attends regularly and faith
fully TO the duties of Sabbath School Teach
er.
The patient, and her parents and relations
offer their sincere and grateful thanks ito the
physicians, Especially DIR. Smith, of Wood
berry, who were present during the operation,
and so kindly offered their assistance. She is
also truly thankful to the neighbors and ac-
quaintance who so willingly administered to her
during her afllictipp.
Yours Respectfully,

FOf We DeuJOTW GdSete.
1t is conceded by all that pelilous times are
upon us. The inquiry naturally arises, whence
come they? A slight pause, little reflection
would point to the corruptness of our public
men. Have we not seen corruption rapidly in
creasing? Every ANNUAL election has exhibited
more and more of excessive party spirit, office
seeking, trickery of every kind resorted to, to
secure the success Of unworthy Individuals
Even bribery, through the use and influence of
spirituous liquors, has be resorted to-
Another question presents itself. Has not the
time arrived when the people should set them
selves firmly against the spirit of political DEM
agogue-ism, by having the office seek the man,
instead of the infamous practice of using any
and every dishonorable means to secure the sue
cess of persons unfit for the stations they seek
Viewing matters in this light, and firmly believ-
ing that the first principles of our Government
rauct no ro-astall;ehnd fn onrt;nn tho Y-nry,a-4
of our beloved country, permit me to suggest
the name of Hon. JesEPH b. NOBLE, of Bed
ford county, asa gentleman in every way capa-
citated for the office of State Senator, sincerely
hoping that he may be induced to make some
personal sacrifice, and act as one of the pioneers
in bringing about the revolution necessary to
purify the political atmosphere. His consenting
to serve the public in that capacity, will be most
cheerlully responded to at the ballot box by ma
ny Of the citizens of this Senatorial district

HEADQUARTERS MOUNTAIN DEPARTMENT,
Port Republic, June 9-noon,
(via Martinsburg June 12)
Hon. f.. NJ. STANTON, Sec. of War:
There was no collision with the enemy after
dark last night.
This morning we renewed the march against
him, entering the woods in battle order His
cavalry appeared on our fanks. Gen. Blenker
had the left, General Milroy the right, and
General Schenck the centre, with reserve OF
General Stahl's brigade and General Bayard's.
The enemy was found to be in full retreat on
Port Republic and our advance found his rear
guard barely across the river, and the bridge in
flames. Our advance came on so suddenly that
some of his officers remaining on this side es-
capped with the loss of their horses.
A cannonading during the forenoon apprized
us of an engagement, and am informed here
that Gen. jackson attacked Gen. Shields this
morning, and after a severe engagement drove
him down the rlver and is now in pursuit. I
have sent an officer with detachment of cav
airy to open communication with Gen. Shields.
This morning detachments were occupied in
searching the ground covered by yesterdays ac-
tion at Cross Keys for our remaining dead and
wounded. | am not yet fully informed, but
think 25 will cover our loss in killed. and 500
that of our wounded The enemy's loss We
cannot clearly ascertain. He was engaged dur
ing the night in carrying off his dead and woun-
ded in wagons
This morning upon our march upwards of
200 of his dead were counted in one field, the
greater part badly mutilated by cannon shot.
Many of his dead were also scattered through
the woods, and many had been already buried.
A number of prisoners had been taken dur
ing the pursuit.

Chairman of the Democratic State Ex. Coz
The Coming State Convention.

The Democracy of the State, are called
to assemble in convention, at Harrisburg,
on the coming fourth of July. The con-
vention will nominate candidates for the Of
fees of Auditor General and Surveyor Cen
eral, and will, doubtless, give expression to
its views upon the momentous questions
raised by the Inauguration and prosecution
of the present unhappy war. We have no
doubt that a platform of principles will be
erected by that body, on which all true, con-
servatlve, constitutional union men can safe
ly stand. 1t will be the duty of the con-
vention, as the representatives of people
whose dearest rights are desperately imper-
lied, to make free and bold declaration of
the political doctrines which have heretofore
ensured, in their results, alike the protection
Of the citizen and the stability of the gov
eminent. 1t behooves Democrats, in this
darkest hour of the trial of republican in
stitutions, to proclaim anew the principles of
the fathers and thus to take firm and de-
fant position in favor of the rights of the
citizen and in opposition to the Capitalization
of power at the Federal Capital. That fall
lacious and dangerous doctrine which holds
that officials and presidential satraps are
the rulers and masters of the people, instead
OF their agents and servants, and that the
will of those appointed to execute the law,
is superior to, and more authoritative than,
the law itself, has already well nigh wrought
It's work of ruin. Tt is for the Democratic
convention, fresh from the ranks of the peo-
pie, to o4rebuke and make war upon this mon
strous idea. 1t is for the Democracy to de-
stroy this political dragon ere it becomes the
idol of a deluded and besotted majority.
Long enough has it Tapped its hideous wings
in the sunlight of liberty. Let it be scourged
back to the dark cavcrns of the past, where
history has marked its tomb and whence it
came to haunt us amid the gloom and dark
ness of civil war and impending anarchy.
Having fearlessly proclaimed the rights
of the citizen, it will be for the convention
to re-afirm the well-tried doctrines of the
party in regard to federal and free state in
tervention with the civil institutions of the
slave states. The issue made by Mr.. Lin
coin and his abolition co-adutors, should be
squarely met. The people should be assu-
red! d!that when they vote for Democratic can
didates, they do not vote money out of their
pockets to purchase the society of a million
or more of superannuated, spawned, rheu-
matte negroes. And to cover the whole
ground Of this slavery question, the conven-
ton can do no better than to adopt for its
motto, ''The Union as it was, the Constitu-
tion as it is.''
AS for the war, we would have the eau
ses which produced it clearly set forth. we
