The eleven Foot.

The clovcn foot Of DiSunion portrudcs
from the Abolition Fusion ranks, not
wthstandmg their hypocrtical Union
screeching. "Thc Union" for which these
Fusion gentry clamor and below so ms,
tily, is not the Union under the present
Federal Constitution, but another Union
or sort of new government arrangement
one prominent feature of which is that
there must be, as Massa Greedy, of tho
New York Tribune, expresses it, "no
distinction in law founded on color or
race"
Among the loudcst of these hypocriti-
cal Fusion shriekers for the Union is this
same Gleely of tho Tribune. What he
means by the "uuion" is developed in
the following closing sentence of an ar
ticle in his paper Of June %;
"Whcn wo hear partisan shouts and
clamors for the Union as it was,' we
shall not hesitate to avow our preference
for the Union as it ought to be-"
With a slight alteration, the foregoing
sentence will express our own most ear
nest and s ober conviction, and we believe,
that of nine-tenths of the truly loyal peo-
people in the United tes:-"W hen
We hear partisan shouts for tho Union
as it ought to be. we shall not hesitate
to avow our preference for the Union as
] 1t ought to be. - Statesman.

Convention called by the Republican
State Central Committee, met at Sacra-

SWEET, of San Francisco, as candidate for

No other State officers to be elected this

The Union Democrats will nominate
their candidate by the State Central

The Breckinridge Democrats propose
to abandon their organization.

WARM the Republican Party of
New York.

The New York Herald, speaking of the
feuds in the Republican party in that
State, which are daily increasing, both in
bitterness and extent, says:
Divided, as it is, between the consery.
atvo and abolition factions, tho fight
is becoming decidedly spicy. Thurlow
Weed leads the conservative wing, and
Mayor Opdyko and Collector Barney the
abolition. Both factions are marshaling
their forces for a severe contest. with a
fair prospect that one or the other will
soon "die in the last ditch" AS soon
as Congress adjourns a bold and deter
mined effort will be made to remove Col
lector Barney from the Custom House,
and fill his place with person from the
conservative ranks. The prospects are
that he will either be compelled to leave
or Secretary Chase will have to vacato
the Treasury Department.

MISSION of the Dmocrntic plrtv.

=
To preserve the Union, protect the Consti.
tuition and guard the rights of the States and
the people, has ever been and is now the mis-
sion OF tho Democratic party. Every ma n
who reads and will speak candidly and hon
cstly, will admit that the Democratic party
has never advocated single measure which
come in conflict with tho Constitution Of the
United States, or calculated to cngender bad
feelings between the different sections of our
common country, or any measure which in
tcrlcrcd with the rights of the States. All
will admit that its object has been to bind to-
gcther more firmly the people of the whole
country, and to wipe out everything calculat-
cd to breed disturbance. This is what that
party is endeavoring to do now. A terrible
civil war is now being waged between the
people Of our country-a people OF the same
ood-brought about by the extremists Of the
two sections of the country. The efforts of
the Dcmocrat party will be to put stop to
this carnage aud destruction by putting down
the home extreme with ballots and the other
extreme with powder and lead If necessary -
They say to the Abolition fanatics Of the
North and the Secessonists Of the South,
you shall not destroy this Government. We
mean that this Government shall stand des-
pite the efforts of both Of you to lay it in ru-
ms "The Union must and shall be prescrv-
ed" "The Constitution as il is, and the
Union as it was, is our battle cry and we are
opposed to any man, no matter what his pro-
fcssions may be, who does not talk the same
language.

them to aim low and make sure the mark.

Movement OF Generals.

There is quite movement of Generals
at this time, and som ne -morementS Gen.
Pope is now in command Of the Army
OF the Shenandoah, including Banks
Fremont's s and McDowelPs cummand.-
Gen. Fremont has requested to be re-
lieved, and the request granted, Gen.
Shields has resignel-Gen. Benham is
under arrest. Gen. Sherman was at
Wheeling a day or two since, Big: Gen.
Rufus King is assigned to the First Ar
my Cor, of the Army of Virginia, in
place of Fremont. These and and other
movements of our Generals cannot but
excite large amount of curiosity as to
the causes of these changes and move,
ments.
One fact, however, has and may awaken
feelings which will be unpleasant. All
three, Banks, Fremont and Mcdowell
outrank in seniority Gen. Pope.
The Cincinnati Commercial says
The strange complicption of depart
ments and commanders in the valley of
the Shenandoah has come to an end
The President, taking the matter into his
own hands, has designated Major Goner-
al Pope to the supreme command of the
corps d armee commanded respectfully
by Major Gems. Banks, Fremont and Nc
Dowell. OF course, we shall no longer
hear of the department of the Mountain,
Shenandoah and Rappahannock They
are merged into one, and we shall look
for sytematized operations, and have
some hope that Jackson will be driven
out of tho Valley so that he will stay out,

said he had been in the Valley of the Shen-
andoah all winter, and came here yester-
day with part Of Jockson's army The
rest of it arrived this morning. Tho
whole of it was here. IIo said that in the
attack on our right the rebels had from
10000 to $4,000 troops. This will ex-
plain the enormous fire under which our
men were borne down and swept away,
precisely as some of them were swept
away at the Seven Pines.
Yesterday the Penn. reserve were the
attacking regiment OF Jackson's COM
mand, to-day they are ovorpowcrod by
the same troops reinforced Sykes Regu-
lars were called up and proved unequal to
the task OF stopping them, and Slocum's
command had to be added to them The
Count DE Paris testifes to the remarka-
bic good conduct of all the regiments that
sustained this unequal attack on Porter
ihey gave way indeed, but not one of
them ran. Their losses are enormous.
The regular 11th Infantry is about an
initiated, nearly every officer in it is kill
ed or murdered. The 18th suffered al.
so severely. Maj. Roselle of the regu-
lars, A. Kinsman of Gen. McClelan's
staff, is killed; Col. Pratt Of N. Y. Reg
lment is also kill, and Lieut.. Coils. Black
and Sweitzler. Our loss in officers is
very marked indeed
The disproportion in numbers was so
extraordinary and the obstinacy of our
troops so unyiclding that our losses were
inevitably large. The artillery in both
Porter's and Smiths Divisions piled the
Rebels in heaps. The fire was terribly
eLlcctiYc.

General Shields.

No officer in the army has discharged his
duties with more signal ability, courage and
bravery than has General SHIELDS. His men
are dcvotedly attached to him; neither the
Gen neral nor his command has como short of
dscharging their whole duty in any cmergen-
cy. These are facts which we presume no
one will dispute. Then, why did the Aboli-
