THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER,

THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER.
The Richmond Examiner of the Sd
inst. takes the following unhappy view
of their deserted cause after the great
battle -" From accounts received
from our lines yesterday, we learn
that within the past two or three days
there has been a great deal of strag-
Cling on the part Of our troops. We
do not seek to magnify this source of
decentralization, but when we are told
that several whole divisions have been
reduced to almost half their number,
and that the larger portion of these re-
ductions is attributed to struggling, it
is time to exclaim against it in tones
of alarm and anxiety.
Some days ago it was suggested by
lis that firing parties should be imme-
diately organized TO sco3r the field OF
battle and shoot down, without core
mony, men who left the ranks to skulk
for places Of safety, and hide them
selves from the presence OF the enemy.
We would repeat the suggestion with
renewed and anxious emphasis. 1t
appears that at every stage Of his dex-
ferrous retreat, the enemy has shown
new accessions of spirit. He has been
forced into positions where he is con-
strained to fight with the dangerous
fury OF desperation, and where, to COM
plete his defeat, the endeavours OF our
whole army may yet be necessary. 1t
is no time yet for relaxation. 1t will
be crying shame if the energy and
spirit OF our army are to be enteebled,
their numbers reduced, and the for
tunes of victory, which we have pur-
sued for six days, arc, in any degree,
to be risked or impaired by a moments
further toleration of the vile practice
of Struggling"
The warm weather is upon us, and
we are much pleased to witness the
consideration of the diferentccmmand-
ing officers of regiments on this post.
Every regiment is required to go
through battalion drill daily. The
commanding officer of the 23d Mass.
Regt., having the welfare Of his msn
at heart, has his regimental drill at
6P. M, so as to give his command
the cool of the day to work in, and
Immediately thereafter, the dress pa
rade. This is right and commendable.
and shows prudent forethought, and
we believe meets with general approx,
al. The regiment is keeping up to its
standard in drill, though the casualties
ofwar have somewhat reduced it's num-
bers.
Capt. Knott V. Martin, of the 29C
yesterday kept open house celebrating
his natal day. Long may our jolly
honest friend live to enjoy many sucl

EXPLANATION

In making up our list of candidates
for Sheriff and Coroner, for our issue of
last Friday we by some mistake entirely
omtabc-omiucd the name Of Mr.,
liagauy, rs candidate for Sheriff. The
omission was purely accidental and min-
territorial, and was entirely unknown to
US until Onr attention was called to it
late on Friday afternoon. The mistake
was the more annoying to us for the rea-
son that we had no way of making the
correction in our own sheet before the
election took place but we did the best
we could, which was to request our ac-
commodating friend, Vincent, to set the
matter right in his paper of Saturday,
which he chcerfully did Mistakes are at
all times mortifying, but this one was
doubly so from the peculiar nature Of
the circumstances by which it was at
tended The same thing occurred witt
the Blue HenS Chickea in its issue o
June 4. Every candidate was named and
specially noticed by the editor except 4H.
-1Nea. lie was omitted. 1t was general,
conceded TO be Il mistake, and we believe
no one charged the editor with intentional
error.

THE Nom1NATToN ELECTION.

The Union nomination election was
conducted with great harmony and spirit
in this County on Saturday The friends
of the several candidates worked with
commendable fidelity and earnestness
throughout the day, and all with apparent
cordiality and good feeling A very
large vote was polled In this city it
reached to l434, which is only so votes
less than the rebellionists polled in the
whole County week ago This is but a
faint foreshadowing of the terrible earnest
with which the people Of this County in-
tend to enter into the contest in Novem-
her. The drubbing the enemies of free
government and the Union will get at the
General election, will be not only well
deserved but right well administered.
Friends Of the glorious old Flag Of the
Free, close up tile ranks stand firm and
solid and let us march forth to the con.
test resolved to blot out, once and forever,
from the escntcheon of Delaware, every
ycstige of treason, and drive back the re-
belionsts into the disgrace and ohscurit,
they so richly deserve.

Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County,
Delaware, on June 18th, 1862, EsAu SHARP
LEY, Esquire, in the goth year of his age
He was Inferred in the cemetery of the Old
Swedes Church, in the city of Wilmington,
on Sunday, the 18th inst, followed to his
last resting place by his children, grand
children, and numerous cOnc0urse Of rela-
tiyes and friends. The deceased was born
and always resided within half mile of his
dwelling, in which he died. He always
maintained the character of respectable,
good citizen. As husband parent, friend
and neighbor, he was exemplary his health
was excellent until he got severe fall on
the ice about Is months ago since when it
has been declining; his eyesight became
dull within few years otherwise his mind
and faculties were good to the last lie was
only a day or two confined to his bed, and
passed from time 10 eternity, calmly and
peacefully, as he had lived. He has left an
example, Of modest worth, and virtuous

TRUE MEN.

In Brandywinc Hundred, some of the
best and most influential men of the De-
mocratic party hitherto, walked up to the
polls on Saturday last and voted for the
Union Candidates for nomination. Like
true patriots they boldly step forth to vim
licate the dignity of their manhood, by
adhering to their country in its hour of
peril. Genuine Democracy has taught
them that, in the lile-struggle of the
Union, their first and greatest duty is to
the Republic which has shed so many
social and political blessings upon man
kind and thus indoctrinated, as honest,
loyal citizens, they could not do otherwise
than mite their efforts and influence with
the Union men of the nation in favor OF
the Constitution, and against the seces-
sion-Breckinridge sympathisers who are
aiming by force Of arms to destroy the
country. -.-

1nn Cry OF MLMrnls.-Memphis is by far
the largest and most important city on the Mis-
sissippi river between ST. Loui., which is 130
miles below. 1t is entnpot of four railroads,
tr4yersing North, South, East and West. These
roads have added greatly to the COMMERCIAL
growth of Memphis, though it is the river traffic
which has built tho city. The shipments Of cot
ton alone from the port in the year ending Sep
tember !, 1860, amounted to four hundred thols-
and bales, and its general business, in ordinar y
times, is immense. 1t is the great point for cot
ton and other produce of Western Tennessee. By
the last census the population Of Memphis is put
down at about 23 .000 souls but the city has been
so long beleagured and kept in panic, and Sc
many Of its able bodieI citizens have heen i'm
pressed into the Rebel army, that it is calculated
by refugees from there that it does not now
number one-half of its ordinary inhabitants.
