licans Of two Of the counties OF tho fifth cou-
gressional district, (Mr. Julaus,) nominated
their candidates for county Officers as heretofore,
by popular vote. The central committees Of
those counties also recommended an expression
by ballot as to candidate for Congress, which
was given for Mr. Julian without opposition Or
division. We are glad to learn that his return
to Congress by the people is beyond any serious
controversy. His Influence in the House, rest
ing upon the solid basis Of great ability and
uncompromising personal and political integ.

A GENUINE IRISH SOLDIER We had the
pleasure of call, on Monday night, by
Capt. Joyce, Of the bloody Tenth Ohio,
whom we found to be a trump, and no
mistake. He is a live Irishman, possessed
of all their vivaciiy and shrewdness, and
like most of them, a good talker. He was
just from Gen. Mtchelps headquarters at
Huntsville, Alabama, whence he came by
way of Nashville.
The Captain loves excitement and risks,
and he has we'll nigh had enough of both
since he has been in secessia.
One adventure he related to US is too
good to be lost.
While on his way from Shelbyville to
Nashville, he was compelled to leave bis
horse, in consequence of a ball he had re-
ceived from guerilla, and was walking
leisurely along, amusing himself by practic-
ing with his revolver, when, just after be
had emptied the last chamber of his revolver,
a man rushed towards him calling out,
"who are your" 81 am Federal officer, y
WIZ
"You are my prisoner" exclaimed Sc
cesh.
"Not by id sight" said the
Captain, spriDgiDg to tree aud leveling
his revolver at the rebel before the latter
had time to draw his.
"Now, throw down your arms, you
bloody traitor" says the Captain, cor I'll
blow your cussed brains out"
Secesh hesitated moment, then sud
denly dropped his revolver and surrendered
to an Irishman with an empty revolver and
vast deal of impudence. Captain Joyce
brought his prisoner to Nashville, and with
his horse, pistol, coat and gold-laced cap as
trophies, was on his way, when he saw
him, to Cincinnati, to drink a poteen of
Irish whisky to his future success.
Capt. Joyce informs US further, that John
Bell and Jerry Clemens are on their wsy
to Washington, on passes from General
Mitchell, to negotiate for peace from the
Government.

B3F@ We apprehend that all current at
tempts to regalvanize the late Democratic
party into existence as distinct Organiza-
ton, will signally fail. There can be but
one object held in view by the several in
dividuais who have taken the job in charge
and that object is to embarrass the Admin
istration. Whether it be the "simon pure
Breckinridger, under the lead of Mr.. Bu-
chanan, or the mischief making sort, under
the auspices of Vallandingham Il Co., the
object aimed at is one, and the end of each
will just as certainly be one-defeat.-
Neither conservatism, as such, nor radical
ism as such, is destined to extricate the
country from its perilous situation But
the party which embodies the strong COM
mon sense of the country is bound to con-
troll the destinies of the Republic hence
forth. No soured and Vindictive heretofore
partizan can construct a successful party
organization in these times. Such men
have private grudges to wreak, and will
not be permitted to wreak them at the ex-
pense OF the country. Their legitimate
field of operation is in bar-rooms and cor
ner groceries, whose frequenters are COM
monty actuated by like motives in the per-
Torrance of public duty.
We do not here refer to honest differences
of opinion, which are always sacred and to
be respected; but to the grovelling spirit of
faction which moves certain members of
all organized parties in some degree.
Earnest and true men will not stop just now
to split hairs, or settle mooted questions of
political economy. The men who propose
10 deal with such wise distinctions, and
who cannot conceal the evidence of a soured
and embittered spirit, are just fitted to the
work of disorganization. In no other way
can they so signally testify their hatred of
order and progress. They have constant
regard for the constitutional rights of men
who have repudiated the Constitution; but
who has ever heard them devote one hun
dred words consecutively to the condem-
nation of the high-handed treason which
has filled the land with tears and blood

From an Occasional Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May IA, 1862.
EDITORS JOURNAL The Capital of the
nation is in its glory now. The flowers
are blooming, birds are singing, and nature
is everywhere upspriDging in wondrous
beauty. Yet one who has been here in other
years, when we were united and happy
people, is saddened as he walks these streets
and contemplates the changes made in two
short years. Go into the Senate or the
House of Representatives, and you look
down upon those vacant seats and wonder
whether they will ever again be occupied
by men from the States now arrayed in re-
bellion against the best government upon
the face of the earth. 1t is unpleas-
ant to observe the unkind feeling ex-
listing between Senators from the border
States and those who advocate ultra North
ern views. Charles Sumner is a splendid
man. l am glad his health is restored so
that he is again permitted to deliberate in
the councils of the nation, but he and his
colleague, Senator Wilson, are pushing
their abolition sentiments quite too far
The immediate emancipation of four mil
lions of slaves would be fraught with uu-
untold evils, and it is fortunate that the ma
jority of the Republican Senators are of
this opinion. I hate slavery. believe
with John Wesley, that if we take the
vilest word in the vocabulary and put it into
the mouth of the serpent of the pit, and let
him sleep for an age in his venomous slime,
it would then be too holy to pronounce all
the denominations of slavery. But we must
remove this gigantic evil gradually and
cautiously. The conduct of the border
State Senators is likewise reprehensible. 1
was sorry to hear Senator Powell, the other
day, apply such opprobrious language to
the President and his Cabinet because they
adopt such stringent measures in crushing
this mighty rebellion.
Hale, of New Hampshire, has grown
gray in the service of his country. He is
conservative man, whose counsels may be
safely followed. Salisbury, of Delaware,
is one of the finest looking men in the
Senate, and very effective speaker but he
is as strong in his pro-slaVery as Sumner
and Wilson are in their anti-slavery views.
Strangers who visit here at this season
will be gratifed with trip to Alexandria.
One year ago the rebel flag was waving
over that ancient city; now. the star-span-

Every Wednesday and Saturday an OPP
portunity is offered to visit Mount Vernon,
and in this charming month of May, the
steamer is crowded with those who desire
to look upon the home and.tomb of Wash
inton. 1t is plain, unpretending man
sion, on the banks of the Potamac, having
been changed but slightly since the Father
of our Country died. Visitors are shown
the room in which be expired, and the bed
on which he lay.
As we walked through his garden under
trees which had sheltered him from the
scorehing rays of the summer sun, and
stood at his tomb, we were thankful that
the soil of his native State was so soon TO
be free from the dominion of rash and re-
bellious men, We left this sacred spot
our American Mecca-grateful that we had
been permitted to visit the home and the
grave of the greatest of men; who was
first in war, first in peace, and who is still
FIRST in the hearts of his countrymen. The
traveller is everywhere struck with the
great change which in one short year has
come over this land of Washington, Eigh-
teen months ago we could travel from East
to West and find our countrymen all en-
gagged in peaceful avocations; now alas
how changed Soldiers meet us in every
village town or city. We are henceforth to
be great military people, The heroes of
Donelson, Plttsburg, Williamsburg, and
Norfolk, are to occupy official position
among US.
You of the great and gallant Vest will
hereafter have a military history of which
you may be justly proud. Your sons have
! fought like brave men long and well and
piled your fields with rebels Islain." You
have won the gratitude of the whole ma
ton. Every loyal man can adopt the Ian
guage of the Governor of Massachusetts,
when he says =" not even the country
voice can loudly enough proclaim the debt
which our country owes to these noble
men who have met the angriest waves Of
this rebellion and rolled them back upon
their depths. The heart of every son Of
massachusetts looks to salute them and dc
them homage. VIAToR.
