LAVE USIoS MES.-Ths seighborhood of Davis
Cross Roads, or rather Davisvills, in West Dover
Hundred contains body of Union men who ar.
awake and live in the cause they have sspoused
One Of the number tells they hold meeting every
Saturday night and if no speakers are present from
other places, they held sort of experience meeting
or Uuion love feast among themselves the parties il
saying nothing else, rise and tell them they are
for the Union still" Such men must be successful
and we are told are continually adding to their
numbers. By the way we might add that a goOdly
number Of the Times circulates among them which
is no doubt sowing the good seed that is ripsninV
into love for the Union.

AID FOR TIE WoUNDED-At n war meot-
ing held two or three weeks since, Messrs.
ID. j. Murphey, VIM. c. Eliason and DIR.
VIM. Cummins were appointed commit
tee to procure supplies for the sick and
wounded soldiers. We have not heard vet
OF anything being accomplished by the COM
mlttee: if they intend to, now is certainly
the time. What has become of our Ladies'
Soldiers Relief Association! The invita-
ton which the Surgeon-General extends to
all loyal women and children to supply lint
and bandages for our wounded soldiers
ought to meet with aprOmpt response every
where The battles of last week have been
the blOodiest of the war, and among the
bloodiest on record: and more remains be-
hlnd! Many, many thousands have fallen.
For the dead there are immortal tears for
those who lie wounded in the hospitals there
are tender offices. A million hands of low
al women and children will obey, with a sad
alacrlty, the call to aid in this word, by fur
nlshlng lint and bandages. In their own
sphere they are thus co-workers in the good
cause. 1t is given them to staunch the
wounds Of those who prefer themselves to
bleed, rather than that their country should
perish. .....

GoNE TO DxrE,-capt Goidsborough,

with number of others to join the rebel
army. Let 'em went.p They do our
Government far less harm in the Confeder-

Democracy In Pennsylvania and De.

Our Democratic friends in this State seem
TO be wonderfully jubilant over the proceed
lngs and what they call the success of the
Democratic meeting in PHILADELPHIA n week
or two since. The most wonderful thing
is that they claim the views expressed in
the speeches and resolutions are their views.
The getter up of the meeting, Francis
Hughes, no doubt entertains the same feel
lngs as our Delaware locofocoes and whose
object was no doubt to have the meetino
Adopt measures that meant only to harrass
'the Government. He accordingly issued
the call which had no expressions of sym-
pathy for the Government but was fierce
only IN the denunciation of the "Demon
Abolition" as the cause of the war.

The rebels are in movement along their
entire line, from the Atlantic to the Missis-
sippi. The attack repulsed by the Union
troops at Bolivar, Tenn, the previously re-
ported defeat of Gen. Nelson, in Kentucky,
the advance of Bragg toward Western Viz

Donelson, are parts of the same daring STRAIT
