accounts are bald and meagre. Il Is stated that
the battle lasted AL day, and was fought princi-
pally with artillery One authority states that ut
the end OF the day there no decisive result
Another states that the Union troops were re
pulsed, but remained on the field OF battle. and
had inflicted great slaughter on the COnfederates
thlrd account states that We had one man
killed and fourteen wounded. How ridiculous all
this Is. The Government Is in possession of all
the facts, whatever they are, yet refuses TO lie,
them be known 10 its OWE loyal subjects. while
at the very moment write the rebels at Norfolk
and of course at Richmond know all about the
battle. Certain facts being known, however. the
intelligent reader can draw from them certain
common-sense conclusions One fact Is that
yorktown Is strongly fOi .ifed. and that Magru-
der Is not the man to yield the road to Richmond
without struggle. Another fact Is that an ar
tillery fight in a country like that around York
town could not have lasted all day without con-
siderable loss on both sides II IS pretty evident
now that the hard work of the war is about to
begin. The idea that there will be no more fight
ing, and that the war will be over by the 4th OF
July, Is delusive. The Union troops enlisted
for three years, and they will have fighting
enough to last them, as things look now, for a
year TO come at least. The rebels will have to
90 down at last; but they will put US to our met
tie first

What the Recent municipal Elections
Demo nstrate.

The recent municipal elections in the North
west in all of which surprising Democratic gains
have been made, have demonstrated that the
strength and efficiency of the party organization
have not been in the least impaired by the false
and scandalous cry of "seceSSionist" leveled by
the opposition press at every Democratic can
didate. We commend this lesson to the Union
lists of the Wendell Phillips stripe They Will
learn from it that, despite their interested croak
ings, the Democratic party organization will be
maintained in It's utmost efficiency. and, instead
of Democrats idly defending themselves from
charges of disloyalty. that it is Black Republi
canism which is on trial before the country. In
their partisan eagerness TO defeat the Democracy
by repeating this false cry of secession our
opponents seem to forget that the ''inexorable
logic" of their proposition is that majority Of
the people of the Northwest are secessionistS;
and that to the extent of this assertion they are
afiording aid and comfort to the armed enemies
of the Union JEFF Davis, for instance, in pc
rusing the columns of his o-laborer in a perma
nent disruption of the Union-the morning Abo-
lition newspaper sheet of this city-wil learn
from it that secession has 1000 majority in Mil
waukee, 500 in Dubuque, 400 in St Paul. and so
on in Madison, Lacrosse. Janesvlle, Racine

The Elections.

"A correspondent writes Us from Franklin
Ripley county, Indiana, that the late election in
that township the whole Democratic ticket was
elected by an average majority OF twenty five
votes At the President election the Democracy
were beaten hfty-two votes. This is a specimen
OF the political reaction which is going on in the
country districts of Indiana.-Cin. Eng.
The johnson County Herald says:
The election on Monday last from every To-
cality in the State brings glad tdings for the good
old Democratic party. In this county every
township gave largely increased Democratic
majority with the exception of Franklin and pro-
badly Nineveh. In this township the Black Re
publcans their straight out party ticket,
which was, as usual elected with the exception OF
one constable but by decreased majorities.
The Goshen Democrat says:
In jefferson township. Elkhart county, there
were two tickets nominated, and the entire Re
publican ticket was defeated, the Democrats
eectng their Trustee and one of their consta
bles, and an independent candidate being chosen
for the other constable. This is gratifying and
hopeful in a township which has been
largely Republican.

A Card-TAe Popham Celebration.

The appearance of an article in one of the
city papers this morning, over the initials of
j. n, rejecting on the "managers OF the Pop
ham Celebration" especially in reference to
the lack of means of conveyance, to and from
the celebration grounds, calls for some notice.
/ deem 1t proper to say that the Committee re-
gard this attack as not only uncalled for but
unjust BY direction of the Executive Com
mittee Immediately after its appointment on
the 10th of July last, application was made
TO all the companies or parties in this State,
owning steamboats,, for one or more boats for
the occasion. For some time we had expecta-
tions that the new steamer New England, of
the st. John and Portland route, would make
an excursion trip on that day, leaving Portland
at Z A. NJ, and returning on the same evening
But the directors finally determined not to
take her of the route at any price. The Gov
ernment of the United States having taken up
every spare boat on the eastern waters, there
was no large boat within our reach. As last
resort barges with tug boats were put in re-
QUESTION from Bangor, Portland and the Kenne-
bee River, TO run in connection with the Ken
nebec & Portland Railroad. The tide. was
adverse and there was an inevitable delay in
reaching the ground and returning from it. In
stead of two thousand persons in attendance,
the highest number estimated, three times that
number took part in the celebration. Fortu-
nately no accident occurred; and as far as the
Committee knew all seemed pleased with the
success Of this "rst" effort to call attention to
the early history of our State. As to the col
lation, the Committee were content to leave
this to the management Of n. j. Davis, Esq. ..of
the Commercial House of Portland, whose sue
cess on similar occasions is so well known to
the people Of this city. The Committee guar
anteed to him eight hundred guests. The Sc
we're storm of Thursday, and up to o'clock
Friday morning, kept him and the committee
In suspense until daylight, and the distance
from all supplies left him no opportunity for
change of plans. To add to his embarrassment
the severe wind demolished the tent and with
the aid of fifteen men from the Revenue Cut
ter and an equal number sent to his aid by
Captain Casey the tent was not in place again
until near the conclusion of Mr.. Poor's Grafton,
when, receiving notice Of it by signal, the
services at the Fort were speedily brought to
a close, and the company marched in process
sion to the Pavilion.
The Portland daily press., 1862-09-10

To find fault under these circumstances, is a
privilege open to all, but submit that gentle
men who have given weeks of unremitting la
Dor without charge, and who paid for their
tickets In common with others, are not to be
censured for mshaps beyond their control. The
general good feeling of the company, and the
readiness to submit to the inevitable inconve-
nience OF a crowd, on such an occasion, fully
compensate the committee for all their toll, la
Dor and anxiety. And they sympathize with
Mr.. Davis, who did all that was possible un-
der the circumstances, and made every effort
to serve cooked" instead of "raw" dishes to
his impatient guests. But for the falling of the
tent, fact well known to j. N. and every one
else, the success of the celebration would have
been complete.
