Esy The Ears!

The Cleveland Leader and the Cleve
land HeraH are pulling each others ears,
and letting ont the secrets of the Union
movements of last fall.
The Herald charges that the Leader ia
vorcd the Union movement last fall to
secure the election of w ade to the Senate.
The Leader clique agreed that Tod should
be Governor, provided Wade should be
reelected The first part of the contract
was filled-the second part remains un-
fulfilled. The Ledaer thinks it never will
be, and demands the resurrection Of Re
ppblicanism.
The HeraM favors the continuance OF
the "URion" movement for the present.
Thercupon the Leader charges that the
HeraH clique want to defeat Wade, and
that one of its editors proposes to float
into Congress this fall by protesting
URioRiSm!
The Leader also also alleges that the
Plain Deaier-a paper ance respected by
the Democracy, but now a tool OF Repub-
licanism-favors the "UaioR" move.

The "URioB" movements OF last fall

The James Island Fight.

New York, June 24.-The Charleston
Ncrcwy Of the 17th says, in relation t.
the battle Of the previous day:-Th
Federals made three ccarges with th
bayonet on the Confederate battery, un
der command Of Col. Lamer, once with
out firing a single volley. At chch dis
charge, it says, great gaps were visible il
the Yankee lines.
The Federals finding the batterymel
unyiclding, next tried hanking move
ment on both sides. and that on the ives
side seriously threatened the rebels for
time, but reinforcements coming up, til,
Fcderals were repulsed.
The rebel loss is stated at forty killet
and one hundred wounded. The rebel,
say they buried 140 Yankees, and cap.
tured 70 prisoners.
The Federals carried off their wounded
which they, the rebels, estimate at 400.
The account is evidently one sided, ant
will doubles, prove less fatal to life on
our side, and more injurious to the rebel,
than here stated.

Plain Talk.

II has been the habit Of some Democrats
who have had littlo feuds and difficulties at
home, either with party friends or cnen, $, ia
attend State Conventions aud bog nomina-
uous for the purpose of securing an eudorse.
ment' We would like to see a stop put to
this thing. We do not know that this will
apply to any gentleman who has been spoken
OF as n candidate before tho approaching Con.
yontioni We know it will not apply to Major
ARMSTRONG of tho Seneca Advertiser. II is
our ardent desire that no Democrat will ask

The trittcudcn Compromise
would have saved the UniOu--
Testimony of Judge Douglas.


The Republican press is very ready of
late to quote every word that ever fell
from the lips Of Judge Douglas that can
be constructed into anything favorable to
that party but they are mum as mittcns
and dumb as oysters about which ho
has said unfavorablo to item and their
more ultra Abolition co.workers in the
cause of diSunion. 1t will be remember
ed that on the 3d day OF January, 1861.
Senator Douglas made speech on the
proposed compromise measures of the
United States Senate, and in that speech,
he said
Il believe this to be fair basis of
Amicable Adjustment. If you of the Re-
publican side are not willing to accept
this, nor the proposition OF the Senator
from Kentucky, (Mr. Crittenden, J ,,roy
tell as what you are willing to do?
| address the inquiry to Republicans
alone, for tie reason Mat in tie Committee
@ Thirteen, a few days ago, every member
from tile South, including those from tile
cotton States { Mossrs. Toombs and Davis)
espresso Meir readiness to accept tile prop
oSition Of my ueneraJie friend from Ken
tucky { Mr.. Crittcnden) as FINAL SETTLE
MENT Of The controversy, if intended and
sustained By Repubiican members.
Hence THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR
DISAGREEMENT, AND THE ONLY DIFFICULTY
IN THE WAY OF AN AMICADLE ADJUSTMENT,
rs WITH THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY"
Here is the evidence of Judge Douglas
that the South was willing to accept tho
"'Crittcnden Compromise" AS FINAL SET
Tr.EMENT Of the then pending difficulties
between the two sections; but the Aboli-
tion Republicans, who loved their party
more than their country, determined to
give not an inch,-their object being to
bring about the very state of affairs that
now exist,-civil war and dissolution
of the Union
When the Peace Congress assembled at
Washington, at the instance Of Border
Slave States, there was at first strong
probability that Compromise measures
would be adopted. TO defeat anything of
the kind the Abolitionists made extraor-
dinary efforts. Mr. Chandler, Republic
can member of Congress from Michigan,
wrote to Gov. Blair of the same State,
that he must send delegates Immediately

! thought that "LITTLE BLOOD LETTING"
would be a capital thing to save the Union

A Brief Definition.

Hon. Andrew johnson, Governor Of
Tennessee, in a speech at Columbia, in
that State, on the % inst, gave his au.
di nee the following brief definition of a
disunionist
can Aboltionist is a Disunionist. A
Dinunionist is Sccessionist. A Seces-
sionist is Disunionist. A Disunionist
is an Aboltionist. Therefore a Seces.
sionist is an A5olitionist. There is not n
particle Of difference between them
Here is the nation tossed and rent al
most in twain by these unprinciped and
ambitious office hunters. Now there is a
great middle class who lie between these
extremes, who must ccme up and save
the Union. The mass of the Southern
people are for the Union. The great mass
of the Republicans are opposed to the
Abolitionists. The body of the people
everywhere will prove true to the Union.
All this slavery talk is mere pretcxt,
whose fimsiness is transparent"

Fusionisn, in Ohio al an end.

The Cleveland Piaindealer of the / Stll
inst, in an article on Ben. Wade and his
organ, the Leader, in which it styles
the lattera "pretentious little negro ram, "
has this obituary notice Of the so.called
"Union organizations"
1t is bccoming daily more and more
apparent that the Union organization in
this State is at an end--a thing of the
past-gonc into history only, so far as the
Republican and Abolition journals are
concerned, and it is hardly to be expect
ed that the mass Of the party will fail to
follow their lead. The way is fast being
prepared in this vicinity, at least, to revive
the Rel ubIican party or to organize a
pure Abolition party out of its remnants
aad ruins to be vitalized and intensified
by the events of the day which are to be
wrought up into the policy of such par.
ty, of general indiscrminatc conliscation
and universal emancipation.

Cheap Labor.

The Philadelphia Erening Journal say,
that the great influx ofnegroes into Ches
ter county, Pennsylvania, has SO reduced
the price of labor that the negroes actu
ally work for ten cents a day,-Erchange
Like causes will produce like rcsult'
here. How do our white laborers relisl
the prospect that emancipation of tho
blacks spreads before them ? What do
they think oil the inundation oftwo OF tn eC
hundred thousand free negroes into Ohio
which inundation will come, il we carry
out the emancipation policy of President
Lincoln =? How many whites will il
throw ont Of employment? ? How much
will it reduce the price of labor These
are pertinent questions Cincinnati En-

STATE. Faxes.

Some Republicans declare the State taxes
we've materially reduced by the present Leg
isature. This they know to be untrue The
facts in tho matter may be easily ascertoined
by calling at the Auditors office. We have
done so, and We find that the lcvy for
1861 was four and eleven twentcths mills on
the dollar; making the total levy on this
County $3O,i7l. The levy for 1862 is six
and two.Giths mills on the dollar, which runs
the State tax on this County up to about
$4,000. These are stubborn facts, taken
from the record which no man can dispute
and those who deny them toll what is not
true,

Rebel Barbaritics.

Nearly all the reports of rebel barbaritics
are without any foundation in truth. Gen
orally speaking, Union prisoners and men
who fall into rebel hands are kindly and hu-
namely treated There are, of course, in
stances of bad treatment on both Sides but
we believe them to be rare. We are at a loss
to know why persons busy themselves in
circulating reports of rebel cruetics which
only serve to annoy the friends of our soldiers

WAsHINGroN, juno 20.--Thc Pacific
Railroad bill passed the Senate to-day,
with five neativc votes. The main route
which it fixes, is to commence at point
on the Tooth meridian of longitude, with
in The Territory of Nebraska. OF the
branches, one commences at Sioux City,
another at another point on the Western
boundary of Iowa, which will probably
be at or near Omaha City or the mouth Of
the Platte River, Both Of these branches
to be constructed by tho Unioa Pacific
Company, which constructs the main
road. The Kansas branch, commencing
opposite Kansas City, is to be construc-
ted by n Kansas Company, and with this
branch the Hannibal and st. Joseph road
is authorized to form connection. The
main road is to run by the most direct
and practicable route to be located subject
to the approval of the President. BY the
House Bill, the road was to commence
on the l02l meridian, and the tcrminous
was not necessarily within the Territory
OF Nebraska, but probably the House
will agree to the Senate amendments
There is little doubt of the final passage
of the bill substantially, as passed by the
Senate.

Two negroes came into camp yester-
day and said they were runaways. and
commenced to help themselves to the boys
provisions. They were Immediately
kicked ont Of camp and told that they had
mistaken the place, We would suggest
that all slaves had better keep away if
they do not wish to be treated in like
manner. The mission of the 21st Iudi-
