Federal troops and the entire rout of the enemy.
Ii is reported that the rebels being nearly sur

their escape. Our troops are in pursuit.
Dispatches from Louisville, Ky, represent the
city as being in danger. Brsggs forces having

ported as marching on Louisville, and a. being
several hours ahead Of Buell., Who tits presumed,

made to defend the city to the last extremity.
The women and children in the city are ordered
to leave without delay. Governor Robinson has
called the citizens to arms, aud Mayor DELPHI has
ordered the business houses closed. Gen. Mel.

How much of truth there is in the old maxim
them" The truthfulness Of this old maxim was
never more clearly illustrated. or apparent to
the most casual observer, than i'm the recent
movements OF the army, and the acts OF the Ad.
ministration. When reverses, probably una
voidabe and unforeseen, visited our forces ia the
field, denunciatiOns of the most infamous charac.
ter we're heapei upon the War Department of
the Government, the Administration entire was
blamed more or less, and the utter worthlessness
and incapacity OF most OF our leading Generals.
Was the general talk and cry throughout the
land. Bot so soon ss our grand army was again
on the march, and victory crowned its every on
ward step. these same bowling, fault finding men
are at 'Oss what to say or think, ard, as
general thing, fail to recall the gross epithets
heaped upon men who are doing their utmost to
carry Oh the war successfully, and for the best
interests Of the country.
The true friends of the ADMINISTRATION and
the army those who sympathize in misfor-
tune, and endeavor, by word and deed, to keep
up aud kindle spirit of confidence and hope in
the ability and success OF those on whom tn.
weighty responsibilities Of this war rests "A
friend in need is a friend indeed" In prosperity
friends seem numerous, and As long as the star
Of our greatness is in the ascendant, seeming
friends cluster around US like bees around the
honey comb. But let adversely befall us, rever-
ses overcome us, and these seeming friends leave
rs a. rapidly as rats the sinking ship. The true
friend is the same whether prosperity places US
upon the highest pinnacle Of fame, or adversely
sinks US to the lowest depths.
How easy the recent ,nisfortunes, and then the
overwhelming successes of our army, makes it
for the Administration to discern and know its
true friends, and to discover the horde of wolves
clad in Sleeps clothing, who cling and cringe at
the public cribs. Let the people, too, take no.
tice Of this. and mark the fawning demagogues
Who infess the land, crying out, a. the times

bones cry aloud from the dust for its salvation, il
in danger. Shame be upon the man Who inflicts
unjust censure upon any of our public servants,
civil or military, during the remainder of this
impending crisis. May God, in his infinite mer.
cy, forgive those who have been guilty of this
wanton outrage. 4

In another column will be found the proceed.
ings Of the Republican Convention of Ingham
county, which met at Mason on Saturday last.
By the action of that Convention it will be seen
that the nomination Of county officers was pos.
poned until the lth day Of October next, or un-
I'll the action Of the various State Conventions
might be known.
1t will also be noticed that resolution was
adopted favoring Union ticket by vote Of As
to Is. This almost unanimous vote but denotes
the feeling in the Republican ranks in this coun.
~ to cease from partizan warfare during the
present election, and until peace and prosperity
again fills the land. Ambition and self aggran.
dizement should be unknown among US during
such crisis as the present, as We have no time
to talk discuss politics, and tho masses of the
people do not want to hear such discussions
While our very existence as nation 10 uncertain,
and our Republican institutions are in jeopardy.
let % not engender bitter partizan feelings, and
wage political war one against the other at
home but rather let US act in concert in all We
do, with no interest in view save the preserva.
tion Of the Union, and our noble form Of gov.
eminent.
Our country demands our entire attention at
the present time, and interest, save its saliva.
ton, should be allowed to occupy our minds du.
ring the space Of time intervening between this
and election day. Let US medi,ate-our govern
meat destroyed anu -nvrv w...~-..
y good would place and position do a man in
case Of . dissolution Of the States, and who
would covet Office under such state of affairs
Let ua, for the time being at least, endeavor to
forget our party relations, and a. one man unite
in the glorious cause of preserving our country
from destruction, casting political distinctions
aside, and invite our ablest and truest men to
rule and govern over us. Then shall We pre-.
sent united front, with one grand aim in view
the preservation Of the government intact
and success and victory muss crown our efforts.
Until the rebellion is crushed. ard our people
again united snd happy, We say political distinc-
tons should be unknown amongst u, and - one
man We should act in harmonious concert to save
oar common country from destruction and ami.
hilasion.

The 17rH MICHIGAN REGIMENr.-This new
regiment which left Detroit but few DAYS since
for the field of battle, under command OF Col
W. H. Wilmington, has already covered itself
with glory on the field of battle. They have
received the praise and commendation Of every
army correspondent who was in their vicinity,
and Of the press generally. The following are
the comments of the n. Y. Post upon the gal.
liant exploits Of this regiment ia their first en-.
gagement:
A'SroNKwALL" RrGINkNr.-One of the new
regiments from Michigan during one of the bat
ties il Maryland, after lighting like veterans fell
short of ammunition. Instead of hunting over
the field for proper officer to write them an Or
Ger for new supply, As has been always the
case heretofore in the Army of the Potomac,
they coolly marched to the army wagons, and re.
plenished their cartridge boxes, and upon re.
turning to the strife, they charged over stone
wall, upon Drayton's South Carolina brigade,
which they about annihiated. The 18th Nichi.
gan is the 'Ssonewall" regiment, and the South
.Carolinians will long remember With grief these
raw recruits from country towns"

PATRIOTIC RHODE IsLAND-There lie not a
more patriotic State in the Union than little
Rhode Island. The Legislature Of that State
which closed its extra session on the 9Th inst.
adopted the proposition for the State to assume
the payment of the bouutes offered by the diff.
ferent towns, limiting the sum to $500 a volun-
teer. The aggregate sum paid for bounties b.
the different towns will probably reach 81 600.
900, for which the State has thus become re.
sponsible. The treasurer Of the State has been
authorized to issue bonds to the amount OF a..
200, 200, to meet this new emergency.
Rhode Island is the smallest State in the I'm.
ion, and. proportOuately, has thus assumed a
heavier burden for the glorious Union cause than
any Of her sister States. Let the people Of
Michigan not complain of their burdens, when
her sister States are willing to sacrifice their last
aniie- tho s's.- ~ Tho nn-rt-r Al ho-,-
