Where we Stand.

We to-day place at the head of our paper the
State ticket, put in nomination at the Republican
Convention, held AT Detroit, Cd W ednesday last,
and will insert those of the Congressional and
County conventions as socn made To the nom-
inees of these conventions will give full free
and cordial support. We go them in all our length,
breadth and depth. We take tie position that
upon the success of the Republican party depends
the salvotion of the country, and believe, ihat
every vote cast against the Repu blcan nominees,
whether SO intended or not, is vote against sus-
tanning the administration of Abraham Lincoln
and in this position and in this belief will make
the best fight we Can against the common enemy
during the canvass, trusting more to the intelii-
gence and discernment of the people, than to our
Own abilities, for the success OF the cause.
1t will be seen that in making its ticket, the Re-
publican State Convention endor sed bv re-nomna-
ton, the able and faithful State officers under whose
Administration the State has prospered SO well for
two years past. This action OF The Convention is
deserved tribute TO the present State officers, who
with an unostentious diligence have performed
every duty OF their respective offices. The gentle
men who are thus prese-.ied 10 the people are too
well known for us 10 sound their praises. They
are all good men and deserve the same hearty en-
dorsement by the people of the State at The ballot
box, that they obtained in tie Convention and that
they will receive this endorsement, we have DO
douht

veniion. to be held at Cassapolis the 18th inst,

lance of calling tue r rmary Meetings aud attend

The Resolutions.

In their resolutions the Convention
took stand that we feel proud Of
They endorsed the President, and de.
clared an unequivocal loyalty in sup.
port of the Government. There is no
but about the attitude the Republicans
have TINS assumed. Nor do they ex.
hume old political issues. The only
Issue they tender to the people is that
involving vigorous prosecution of the
war, and the preservation of the Con-
stitution and the Union. We are sure
that these admirable resolutions will
strike responsive chord in the hearts
of Republicans all over the country.
Let the Republicans of this State see to
it, that they live up to their spirit. 1t is
the spirit of loyalty and freedom.

A "STONEwALL REGIMENT.-One

A "SToNEwALL Recommendations of
the new regiments from Michigan dur
ing one of the battles in Maryland, af.
ter fighting like veterans fell short of
ammunition. Instead of hunting over
the field for proper officer to write
them an order for new SUPPLY, as has
been always the case heretofore in the
Army of the Potomac they cOolly
marched to the army wagons, and re-
plenished their cartridge boxes, and
upon returning to the strife they
charged over a stone wall, upon Dray-
toms South Carolina brigade, which
they about annihilated. The Seven
teenth Michigan is the "Stonewall"reg-
inent, and the South Carolinians will
long remember with grief these "raw

every man who voted for it, perfect
~ free to decide for himself whether
any particular measure was ssappropri-
ate" or inappropriate, and to decide
that it was inappropriate, and there
fore left him at perfect liberty to OPP
pose every measure that, for example,
| it left him at liberty to decide drafting
or volunteering to he a'aoppropradte
and, therefore, at liberty to oppose
drafting and volunteering. lie further
remarked that though the resolution
he had offered contained the same
word yet that the other portions OF 1t
fully endorsed the measures of the pro-
clamation, the only ones now in seri-
ously controversy, as entirely appro-
pirate.
Mr.. A. J. Smith proposed candidate
for the office of Circuit Court Com
missioner on the "Union" ticket then
proposed to amend the resolution of
the Committee by striking out the word
"appropriate." The chair decided
that the order for the previous question
precluded any amendment.
The vote was then taken and the
resolutions reported by tie committee
adopted by majority.
Mr.. Clarke then moved the adoption
of the following resolution as an addi-
ton to those just adopted by the con-
vention:
Resolced, That we cordially endorse the procTa-
nation of freedom and confiscafion of the presi-
dent, issued September 22, 1862 as great and i'm
peratve war measure, essential to the salvation of
the Union, and we hereby pledge all truly IOyal
citizens to sustain him in its complete and faithful
| enforcement.
This resolution being seconded, Mr..
G. remarked that he offered it for the
purpose of affording the convention
another opportunity to express itself in
respect to the Proclamation that he
would consume no time in advo-
eating the Resolution now offered,
further than to remark that it was one
amongst others of corresponding
character, adopted by the late Union
State Convention of the war Deme-
Gratis and Republicans of Illinois by
which Hon. E. G. Ingersoll, a leading
Democrat of that State, was nominated
as a member of Congress for the State
at large, to make mp the full delegation
in the present Congress, to which the
state is entitled by the last census.
At the conclusion of Mr.. CIarke's
remarks, Mr.. w. w. Peck, Candidate
for Union nomination as Go. Treasnr-
pr.) moved that the resolution last Of
fered, be laid upon the table.
The vote being taken, nearly all the
Republicans present voted in the
negative, but were outnumbered by
the Democrats. All attempts to induce
the convention to endorse the ProrFa
nation, having TINS failed, nearly al
the Republicans withdrew.
The People will see from this sketch
of the composition and proceedings OF
the convention, just aboat how much
support the federal Government in its
great contest with the Slave Powers
gigantic rebellion, is to receive from
the "Union party" Of Cass County
Michigan. All present conld not iai
to see that the pro-slareryism of the
democratic actors and speakers in The
convention, with the exception OF Mr.
Gibbs was as intense and as submis
sively devotional to the "divine insti
tuition" as could be desired by jeff
Davis himself.

turned to watch the approach of infan-

Skirmishers, of the New York 39th,
were thrown out and other troops adj
vanced down the nil under cover of
the brush to meet them. A dark mass,
almost shielded from view by the
woods, seemed moving toward our
right and soon appeared in full view
as they crossed distant field and took
position in the woods. A battery now
opened in front of us, and shot and
shell came over the ridge inside of our
works. 1t was quite evident that they
were only trying their range, and 1t
was also apparent that they were quite
satisfied with it.
Our batteries now turned their at
tention to the new batteries of the
rebels, and Captain Won Schelin sue
ceeded in placing a few shells in the
right spot. a sho: from the rebels ex-
pioded one of Capt. Won Schelin's
calssons, wounding four men. A new
battery had opened from London
Heights, making four guns in all in that
position. Capt. McGrath had silenced
the first for while, but it resumed
operations after a change of position.
