A WoRrHr ExAMrLE.-It is common
thing for speakers belonging TO the seces-
sion wing Of the Democratic party to
charge the Abolisionists Of the North with
being responsible for the present rebellion,
with the object Of shielding their "south-
em brethren" from the Indignation and
contempt Of an enlightened world. But
what are the facts? Gsrrit Smith. one OF
the most radical of abolitionists. few
dsys ago gave $4,000 for the organizing
and squiping Of soldiers to fight against
the disinsegrating Of the Government
Would Il not be well for some Of our
wealthy Democrats. Of disloyal sentiment.
to undertake by financial persuasion to
make tie people believe that they are holf
% loyal as the abolitionists?

A despatch from Gen. Pope. dated Ce-
dar Mountain. Va. Aug. IL. 7.3c p. NJ.
says the enemy has retreated under cover
OF the night. His rear guard is now cross
ing the Rspidsn towards Orange q. H.
Our cavalry and artillery are in pursuit.
This would seem to imply that the Union
forces gained the victory. The loss on
both sides WAS about equal.
A despatch from Breckinridgs to the
Grenada appeal, says he attacked the
Union forces at Baton Rouge on Tuesday
the 9th inst. but was repulsei on account
OF the failure Of the Rebel Ram Arkansas
to cooperate with him in the fight; that
the Ram arrived two hours after, when she
promptly attacked the Union feet, and
Breckinridge at once renewed the land at.
tack. The Ram. says Breckenridge. de-
stroyed two boats Of the Federal fleet end
badly injured three others; that the
feet had left Baton Rouge, passing down
the river for safety; and that he had cap
tured the entire Federal army stationed at
that place. This story is believed to be q
cansrd. as it would have been heard Of be.
fore By way of Richmond A despatch
three days later published in the Richmond
papers announced the destruction of the
Ram Arkansas. and il is not to be suppos-
ed that such an event would have been an
nounced had il been untrue, as nothing
could DO gained by il.

Of chronic polisieians sAos1d go 6t at the
present moment Of our country's peril to
thrust their partizsn vindictiveness before
the public on evety occasion. a. though
the people cared red copper how much

Election the question would naturally arise.
on hearing the remarks Of the speakers At
the Democratic Convention. last Saturday.
lis the advocating Of dislcysl sentiments
necessary for the success Of the Democratic
party? Because the Republican party are
uncompromis;nsly in favor Of . vigorous
prosecution of the war to crush out the 70.
bellion. and determined in their opposi-
ton to any thing like compromising with
traitors. is the Democratic party dependent
on their opposition to these measures for
T arty success? II would seem that the
leaders Of that party believe it is. No man
can be loyal or homes. at heart and charge
the present administration with waging an
uuholy war, or exercising such partizan
powers as to drire the border States out Of
the Union; and yet this charge Is made
every day-was made last Saturday By
. portion of the Democratic party.
Such disloyal and fallacious statements
are being constantly mede By Democratic
politicians. and their effect is to produce
on the minds Of ignorant pstizsus . feel.
ing greatly prejudicisl to the success OF
volunteering. and for the suppression Of
which Secretary Stanto. issued his late
war order, which will be found in another
column.
II is q lamentsble fact that the United
States at the present time are subject to
martial law, and il has been brought a.
bout By. and intea6sd to suppress. just
such unpstriotic sentiments As were made
BY one of the speakers at the Convention
last Saturday. and whose attention wo de-
sire particularly to tho order mentioned
above. It's no. believed to be good pol
icy. By the War Department. to send 10y
81 men to fight the rebels, and leave dis
loyal men at home to spout treason in the
