There is story in the N. Y. Tribune,
that Gen. Msgruder and his officers violated
the persons of six female Union prisoners.
Another story is told that Union men are
being crucifed. The next "authentic state.
ment" will be that Federal prisoners are
cooked and eaten. Anything, on either side
to keep up steam. Lying is one Of the vir-
tues of war.
If Senator Wade's theory is correct and
the Constitution in suspended, we should like
to know what Congress is but an irregular
mass meeting! 1t has got no power that it
does not draw from the Constitution, and if
the Constitution is suspended, the functions
of Congress and of the President are sus
pended.

Siegel asks to be elieved of haa Con

Siegel asks to be Re lieved of haa Com
mand.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Tribune, snys:
Siegel has asked to be relieved of his
command. His letter to the President
gives the following reason for the course
he has found it necessary to pursue;
lst, Because he was placed under cotn-
mand Of Junior officer, without the
knowledge of the President, although the
President alone has the power to place a
Junior over senior officer of same grade.
I'd, Because his command has gradual
ly been reduced, first by removal from it
of the division of Cox and Coke. and
then of two brigades, Platt's and Mil.
roy's.
| Sd, Because hcne Of the regiments rais-
ed expressly for him, except one, have
been assigned to him, nor have others
been given him in their places.
4th. Because of the grossly abusive
manner in which Halleck has treated
him, personally and officially.
5th. Because his little command has
been placed in an exceedingly exposed
position, and ordered to perform acts that
are impossible for it, and require large
command.
9th. Because lie cannot procure horses
or equipage for his artillery and cavalry
and hence these arms of the service are
comparatively useless to him.
7,h. Because all his requests and requi.
sitions are neglected or refused, on &C.
count of which his troops are discouraged
and comparatively inefficient and many
have::not been paid in six months.
I 9th. Because he cannot expect fail
treatment, and because his troops, fol
whom he is doubly concerned, are made
the innocent sufferers on his account
He is persuaded that they would fare bet
ter under another commander.
The statement that egiments raised Ell
pressIy for Sigel had not been given him
is confirmed by the testimony of the
Governors of six States. Governors Yates
Tod, Blair, Kirkwood, Andrews and
Sprague, who are anxious to know why
tLis issso, and are urging the authorities
to carry out the promises which they
made at the time the permission to raise
regiments in each of their States for Gen
Sigel were given. Several Western Gov
ernors are urging the appointment oi
Hooker to command the Union armies in
the Western Valley.

Goth Missouri on the left. Both req
iments stood their ground manfullv and
did their best to save the battery, but the
enemy were in too heavy force. Both
regiments suffered severely. Col Bootnut
of the goth, fell in the early part of the
engagement, being badly wounded. We
recovered ottr battery yesterday morning
and were ordered to this place to refit.
After the eiigageiheht, Col. 1athfop,
Chief of Artillery of this army, complia
mehted the battery boys very highly, say
Ing he had no fault to Hnd With the bat

record where battery MAS exposed to
such tremendous fire. and iii stich dam

thahfully. 1t is proven by ottr list of
killed, wounded and missing. John Ettle,
of Wyattdot county, Ohio, was pierced
by musket ball, but would hot give up
and kept filing his post, and after firing
two more rouhds he fell dead: John
Dean, of Vinton county, when told by the
Sergeant commanding his gun, to fall
back, as the battery was taken, declared
he would not leave, and kept on holding
his horses. Yesterday morning he was
found dead at his post.
We lost abotit SO horses killed, and
nearly all the rest were wounded

The Battle of 1uka.

Wyandot county has again sacrificed
some of her sons upon the altar of her
country. The battle of Iuka, fought on
the 10Th inst, in Mississippi, and in
which the 18th Ohio battery played a
conspicous part, and connected with
which we had about fifty Of the sons Of
little Wyandot, was one of the hardest
fought battles of the war. We are glad
to chronicle the fact that the "boys'
from Wyandot stood up manfully against
the opposing foe, and some of them never
yielded, although pierced with bullets,
until they fell dead at their posts. We
give below a brief account of the battle,
as described by letter writer from the
| field for the Cincinnati Commercial.
1uKA, MISS, Sept. 81, 1859.
Perhaps it would interest some Of your
readers to read of the part the llth Ohio
Battery took in the engagement at this
place on the 18th inst. The battery was
ordered to move with the rest of the bri-
gade from Jacinto on the morning of the
18th inst. We marched about eight
miles that day and ca1nped at night
Next morning we started again, with the
gallant 5th Iowa regiment in the advance
At about noon we encountered the en-
emy's pickets, which were driven in by
the skirmishers. We moved on until
about A O'Clock, when we were greeted
with couple of shell form the enemy's
batteries. We Immediately took up ou1
position in the woods, on the top of a hill
facing thicket. We had not long te
wait for the enemy, as they poured few
rounds of grape into us just after we were
formed into line. At about 8 o'clock the
battery boys discovered the enemy ad
vancing on Our front and forming in line
of battle at distance of two hundred
yards from us. The fact was reported tt
Col. Sanburn, commanding brigade, wht
Immediately ordered us to fire caniste
into their ranks. They were but abou
one hundred yards from us when we le
out on them. After the first round the!
started forward on charge, with yell
We were then ordered to load, to put tw'
canisters in each load, which checked th
enemy little, but still they kept advauc
ing. When they got near the battery
the infantry who we're supporting us com
menced tremendous FIRE, but it was to-
late, as the battery was about gone-s'
many of the men being already down.
The battery boys were then ordered t.
fall back, but not a man left his gun unit
/ ordered to do so The infantry then hat
it hot and heavy until after dark, at whicl
time both parties held the same ground
with the exception of where the gun
were planted; but they did get back t.
the caissons. During the night the en-
emy took our pieces about two hundred
yards from the battle ground, and afte

covering space of more than ten square
feet, shows the entire State of Virginia SO
completely that every county, town, city,
village, river, brook, mountain, hill, and
principal road, is readily found. 1t also
embraces the principal parts of Maryland
and Pennsylvania. The other Map, Gov
ering about Is square feet, gives all the
Southern or Slave States, including Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, and all south of them
Though not SO minute as the Map Of
Virginia, this shows all the counties,
principal towns, rivers, etc. of the south

for the Agriculturist, is presented with
a choice of the above two Maps. In ad-

In accordance to previous notice a
large delegation of the Union men of the
Fifth Congressional District assembled
at Lima on 25th day Of September, 1862,
and organized by electing Hon. G. w.
Holbrook. of Auglaize county, President,
and A. O. Tucker, Of Van Vert county,
Secretary.
On motion of r. E. Cunningham, the
chair appointed the following Committee
on Resolutions. I.|...

atoms made, and the resolutions passed
at the Union Convention, held at Colum-
bus on the 9lst day of August, 1869.
Rssolved, That the Proclamation of the
President of the United States, dated the
22d day of September, 1869, meets with
our unqualified approval-that the people
now in rebellion have long since forfeited
the protection of the laws-that measure
has become military necessity-that by
the terms of the proclamation, the fate OF
the system of slavery rests in the hands
of the people Of the rebellious states, to
maintain it, they have but to return to
their allegiance to the Constitution and
practice obedience to the laws.
