behaved in the most gallant manner, being

wounds were received while performing
an act Of humanity. While the bullets
were whistling all around ike shower Of

his struggle to extricate himself implored

Of one ear.
On recovering from the first stunning
effect caused by this painful wound, it is
stated that the Captain mounted his horse,
and was still seen moving in the thickest
Of the fight. From all reports, the tsdig-
nifty Of danger seems to be passion with
the Captain.

images Of war you send party to collect and bury
the dead. am directed to say all possible facili-

which have already been inferred. Quite num-

msw VERY Cautiaus.

We have ii at last. Our neighbor had
nothing to say about Gen. Curtis victery
ia lie Southwest because he did not Ap.
prove the conduct Of the General in pi11lah-
ing forward into perilous position and a
bloody fight. And being unable to say
anything in praise Of Gen. Curtis, he
thought it better to say nothing than to
censure him.
But we quote:
We are compelled to say that we cannot
approve Of the military strategy of a Gem
eral4who would suffer himself to be tolled
along into the mountains and into the en-
emy's camp, where be was surrounded, by
Prices army and cut off from his provis-
ion train. 1t is true, that after he was
thus surrounded BY the enemy, the Gen
eral and the brave men and officers under
his command succeeded, by daring deeds
of valor and great slaughter of our own
troops, in cutting their way through the
encmy's lines, = Hence,
in cases where, in our uneducated military
judgment we cannot praise, we prefer TO
keep silent rather than to censure and
thereby infict wrong which better in
formation would have prevented.
We rejoice that Gen. Halleck has not
been SO cautious and wary in bestowing
commentator. He issued the following
general order on the occasion:
lie sdquarters of the Missouri Departmen,,l
ST. Louis, Is, 1862.
Maj Gen. Curtis, Comd'g. in Arkansas:
| congratulate you and your command
on the glorious victory just gained
You have proved yourselves Us brave
in battle as enduring in fatigue and hard
ship. A grateful country will honor you
for both.
[signed] H. w. HALLEcK,
Major General.
Gen. Curtis and our brave Iowa troops
will rejoice that Clsgett did not occupy
Major General Halleck,s position. after
the avowal that in that case, as sswe cannot
praise wo prefer to keep silent rather
than eensure."

The Republicans were the only party
that did not, at the last presidential cleo
ton, vote for secessionist either for Pres
ident or Vice President.
The "Union" party, whose platform
was the Constitution, and whose organ
was the New York Express. supported for
President John Bell, now a rank Tonnes
see secessionist
The Simon-Puro Pro Slavery Democra-
cy supported for President John C.. Brock
inridge, secessionist general, and for
Vice President Joe Lane, whose prefer
ences are for the rebels.
The Soft-Shell, dough-faced, Pro-Sla-
very Democracy, of which Mr.. N. j. Wa
terbury is an exponent, supported for Vice
President Herschell v. johnson, the new
Attorney General in the Cabinet of JEFF.
Davis.
The supporters of the Fusion electoral
ticket in this State thus cast their votes
for four secessionists
Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin
constituted the only loyal ticket for the
Offices of President and Vice President.
Some of the men who supported seccs-
sionists, and whose hearts are still with
their old masters, are now reading lectures
TO the men who supported loyaists--
They are especially affecting when they
speak Of the Constitution, and its guaran-
tees, and all that. But there are thous-
ands upon thousands who thank God that
the candidates Of these men were not cho-
sen, who escbew the doctrines of the par
ties which misled them, and who will here
after act with the Republican party only.

We have heretofore oalled attention 10 the

have asserted again and again that thai paper
did not have the largest circulation toittiD the

are hawked about the streets and on railroad

within the range Of delivery as required by the
Postofice law, and there 10 where the Journal
attains its largest circulation II Is not In this
city and county. f4Tk
The Postmaster has never "eramined info
this matter" or called upon the city papers to
see who has or who has not the largest oircula-

about the circulation Of our paper as the Jour

that they never publish the list In their Weekly,

taxes above certain rate to be levied for spe.
cifc purposes. According to this law, the
amount that can be raised 10 Newark township
for poor and township purposes, will not be one
half as great as in former years Should the

before. In the face Of this faet, q law is made
which forbids taxes to be raised for their relief
