The Convention,

Mr.. EDITOR: The Democracy of

assemble at Eaton, on Saturday
next, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to represent them at the
Democratic Convention to be held
in Columbus, on the 4th of July,
and to transact other important
business. Of course resolutions
expressive of the feelings Of those
convened, in relation to the un-
happy condition of our country,
will be offered and adopted and
without any intention to dictate to
that body, may l be permitted to
hope that those selected and deter
mined upon as the sentiments of
the meeting, be plain and unvar-
nished-that there will be no"milk

in them, but firm, decided and pos
tive against this unholy and in
formal war, end all acts Of the
present infamous administration,
which tend to prolopg or continue
it.

acknowledgements for the gallantry
and good conduct you displayed in

LIST inst, and with pride and pleas
ure recognize the steadiness and
intrepidity with which you attacked
the enemy in position, captured
his advanced intrenchments, sever
al batteries of artillery and many
standards, and everywhere drove
them from the open field.
At a portion Of your operations,
it was my fortune to be present,
On. no other occasion have | wit
messed more OF calmness and good
order, than You exhibited while
advancing into the very jaws o.
death, aud nothing could exceed
the prowess with which you closed
upon the enemy when a sheet O
fire was blazing in your faces.
In the renewed strugglein which
you are on the eve of engaging, +.
ask and can desire but a continu
alton of the same conduct whicl
now attracts the admiration ant

sectional platform, and the use Of
sectional appeals. 1t elected q
President who was strongly averse
to one.half the States of the Un-
ion. 1t made the people believe
that there was no danger to the
Union, telling themthatthe "South
could not be kicked out" of the
Confederation. 1t rejected the
Crittenden Compromise Bill, which
Senator Douglas said would have
been accepted with pleasure by
even the Cotton States, as a settle
ment of the national dispute. Its
Representatives in the Peace Con-.
gress spurned all propositions that
were intended to heal the political
troubles of the nation, preferring
war to compromise. Its leaders
forced the unfortunate battle at
Bull Run, which proved so dis,
graceful to the Union cause 1t
has made the army the victims of
the most unprincipled set Of public
plunderers that ever was known
in the history of mankind. 1t has,
through its mismanagement of the
public funds, loaded the country
with millions Of unnecessary debt.
1t has fettered the press, endan-
gered the freedom of private citi-
zens, filled the public Offices with a
host of incompetent and corrupt
men. and aided in destroying our
national happiness. 1t, in short,
has brought the country to just
what it is, and that, alas, is a sad
and sorrowful picture for every
American patriot to gaze upon
No good can result from it being
in power, that is evident. That
we are now no nearer a settlement
of our troubles than one year ago,
must be plain to every observing
man, and this state of things will
continue until the people in their
sovereign capacity take the matter
in hand, and hurl from place and
power these plunderers and de-
stroyers of our country, and select
honest, upright, true men, for
places of trust and power. This
done, the tide of peace and pros
perity will again set in, hope fol-
the future will beam in the coun'
tenances of our citizens, confidence
will again be restored, and the day
of delivery from continual strife.
from war and oppression, vii
again dawn upon the nation.
1t is the duty of the Democracy
as the friends of liberty, as the
guardians of their country and bel
institutions, to make an effort, ant
never cease until successful, t
restore the simplicity and honesty
! of our ancestors in the practica
administration of our public affairs
We owe this to our country, oul

Hon. E. NJ. Stanton, Secretary of War:
The army left Harrisonburg at
six o'clock A. NJ, and at half past
eight my advance engaged the
rebels about seven miles from that
place, near Union Church. The
enemy was very advantageously
posted in the timber, having chosen
his own position, forming a small
err circle than our own, and with
his troops formed en- masse. The
battle began with heavy firing at
eleven o'clock, and lasted, with
great obstinacy and violence, until
four o'clock ?. M.
The loss on both sides is very
great; ours is very heavy among
the officers. A full report of those
who distinguished themselves will
be made without Partially. l de.
sire to say that both officers and
men behaved with splendid gal
lantry, and that the service Of the
artillery was especially admirable.
We are encamped on the field of
battle, which may be renewed at
any moment.

the Fourth Brigade, consisting of
the Eighth Pennsylvania, Eleventh
Pennsylvania, Seventh Indiana and
First Virginia, about sixteen hun
dred strong, reached Fort Repub-
! lie. Sunday, reconnoitered and
found TIC enemy in the town, and
had a skirmish. Tie concluded to
hold the bridge, snd ordered it not
to be burned, and pat guns in a
position commanding it. AT six
A. M. Monday he was opened en-
by some twenty heavy guns placed
in position during the night.
Our forces tried to reach the
bridge repeatedly, to destroy it,
but were met by storms of bullets,
and had to retire.
After falling back some three or
four miles, a body of cavalry was
sent to attack us, but they were
compelled to retire, when the en-
gagement ended, having lasted five
hours. Our loss in killed, wound.
ed and prisoner: is not known, but
is large, as is also that of the
enemy. Colonel CAROLS horse
fell, injuring him badly.
Captain Kelley, of Gen. Shields
