'Ehe Fate of the Soldier.

1t is well known that given body OF
men, subject to active service in all its va
rieties of camp and field, loses its numbers
rapidly from various causes. After a year
or two of such service, the name which
designates its organization covers les
sened number of men, and usually some
recruits. An idea of how such body of
soldiers fares, is furnished in detailed
statement we find in the Newburyport
Herald, of a company of men enlisted in
August, 1861, in the town of West New
bury, Massachusetts. The name of every
officer and man who has been dropped out
of the company is given. The company
has been in service eighteen months, and
has received in that time eighteen recruits.
1t has been engaged in Virginia and Ma
ryland. 1t had forty-ive men engaged,
June 25th; thirty-ive men, June Goth
and 3Oth, and twenty on July 1st. At
Antietam it had twenty three, and at
Fredericksburg thirty.

The CENTERvILLE REBELS.-On last
Saturday company of armed men came
into Centerville, in procession, forty or
fifty in number, with fife and drum,
wearing butternut ornaments, and cheer
ing for JEFF. Davis on the streets. A dis
patch having been sent to Richmond OF
what was going on, company started
from there, which fact was communica-
ted to the Copperheads, and they started
off in squads, to avoid an arrest. They
had been in Centerville several hours,
when they left for Arlington and vicinity.
| The Sheriff posse on arriving at Cen
terville, was increased to fifty men, who
went in pursuit of the rebel party. At
school house near Abingdon, the road
branched off to the west; the mounted
men took the west fork, and the infantry
the main pike In coming in on the
west road they came upon their armed
pickets, FIVE in number, and arrested
them. Some resistance was made. lis
tolls we're cooked and leveled at those
who attempted to run, and they surren-
dered with arms in their hands. While
this was going on man came running
up the road, from Abingdon. He re-
marked to our informant, mistaklng him
for one of his own party, They are com
5 ing, they are coming right into town
now" He was asked, who are COM
ingY Seeing his mistake, he answered,
1.-The Butternuts are coming to take the
: town" He was one of the ringleaders,
Y running toward Them, all armed with
G rifles and shot guns. They then went
INTO Abingdon and arrested Joshua Dye,
/ in his own house, who was in the JEFF
e Davis procession at Centerville. Six.
e teen prisoners were taken to Centerville
$ that night, none being taken but those
who had been in the procession. On
: Sunday, fifty mounted men went back to
: Arlington, but found none who had been
IN the procession. There were plenty of
Butternuts at home, but none of that
squad. The Dyes then agreed that they
would deliver, at 10 o'clock the next
morning, Robert Stephens, Sampson
Stephens, and John NJ Snyder, which
they did, and they were brought to this
city yesterday, making nineteen in all,
who were turned over to General Hascan
On investigation, General Hascall re-
leased twelve, and retained seven. The
arrests were made by the proper civil
authorities, and were not illegal Great
excitement exists in Wayne county, and
her loyal men demand that these disloyal
persons be summariy dealt with, as a
rebuke to open treason.

ing posse, and has given us the facts in
the case, as they came under his own
observation

TIE PoLYoRAMA.-No public exhibit
ton of any character ever visited our
city which was favored with such audi.
ences as the Polyorama ofthe war, which
was presented to the public for the last
time on Tuesday evening. There was
perfect turOre on the part of the big
and little folks to see it, and night after
night, the hall was jsmmed and many
went away disappointed, unable to gain
an entrance. The last evening was as
much of success as any ofthe others.
The Polyorama leaves our city for
Terre Haute, where, we doubt not, alike

Did the Democrats ever Support the
President i'm Prosecuting the War!

Some journals claiming to be demo
cratic, and if we recollect right the
Springfield Register and the Peoria Ndat
were among the number, have affirmed
that the democrats, copperheads and all,
cordially supported MI. Lincoln IN car
rying on the war until he issued his pre-
liminary proclamation, in September
last. That loyal democrats did so then,
and do so now, we know; but what the
Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading anti
war organ in the West, calls "the real,
genuine democracy, ratlgo copper
heads, never did cordially support
the war. The Enquirer when giving ev-
idence of copperhead treason, is better
authority than dozen of its servlle lml-
tators. When the oracle speaks, let the
noyices learn wisdom and correct their
mistakes. Hear what the Enquirer
says:
1.-THE real genuine democracy OF the
country were never at heart tor the war,
and never believed that it could lead to
a good result The idea that voluntary
Union. such as our fathers made, could
be established by force, was too rdicu,
lous to find Judgement IN the brain OF
any reasonable democrat. All saw lts
logical error, and all readily condemned
it in their hearts. They were opposed
to it in principle before the war com
menced, and the fact of the commence
ment did not change their views, but ex
perience has confirmed and strengthen
ed them. In order to save the Union VIZ
have got to get back to where We started
, from, and have a peaceful and friend.

Bg We presume the immediate cause
of YaIlandigham's arrest was his denun-
citation of Gen. Burnside's recent order,
in speech delivered at Columbus on the
night of the 30th ult He there declared
that the Court Martials being held In
Cincinnati were illegal and he would re-
sist them. A portion of Gen. Burnside
staff, in citizens clothes, heard the traitor
and it was supposed by many at the time
that he would be arrested.
The riotous conduct of his partlsans
should be checked with an iron hand, at
once, and examples made of the leaders.
The immunity with which they have been
permitted to Aaunt their disloyalty in
the face of patriots, has so emboidened
them, that nothing short of a sharp
quick punishment will convince them
that it is dangerous to array themselves
against those who are lawfully IN au
thority.

Up to this hour all that is known here
of Hooker's movements, beyond what is
already published, may be summed up as
follows:
The bulk of Hookers army, compris-
ing in fact all but two corps, crossed the
river on the right, above Fredericksburg.
Hooker Is moving with this column in
person, and yesterday evening his head
| quarters were at Charlottesville. Stone
man, meanwhile, was expected yester
day to strike the railroad between Fred

ward the rebel capital, and Peck. vester-
uay nad orders to throw out pickets from
his extreme outposts as far as possible,
to see if he could hear anything of Stone.
mans doings, or if possible, communi-
cate with him. From a dispatch from
Butterield to his wife, received late last
night, 1t is inferred that there was figt-
ing yesterday; and another dispatch from
Peck, forwarded thence to the Depat-
ment, says simply, 1--WE are having lively
times here" while still another of the
same sort says that Longstreets corps is
not at Fredericksburg as had been sup
posed, but on Peck front.
Neither the War Department nor the
PRESIDENT are receiving anything direct
from Hooker. He notified them when
ne began that he should make no reports
and receive no orders now till he got the
JOB on his hands-that he had all the
supplies, munitions and re-enforcements
he wanted, and that he wouldn't trust the
telegraph with his secrets.
The two corps that have crossed below
Fredericksburg lie quiet by the rivers
bank. They are said to have orders to
return over the river if attacked 1t is
manifest that the plan is to force the reb-
els to leave their intrenchment to protect
their threatened communications bv at
lacking Hooker, and then for the corps
below to rush up, storm the heigets and
thus place the rebels between the two
fires.

alr The weather that has been for
some time almost as warm as midsum-
mer, has grown quite cool, and appre-
tensions are felt for the fruit crop, and
early vegetables.
Persons possessed of fruit trees should
watch the aspect of the weather closely,
and if a heavy frost is probable should
adopt measures to save their fruit.
These remedies are known to all intelli-

n9- Since the new arrangements by
the Evansville and Charlottesville Rail-
road for forwarding freight, with the
Iacriit'es auorded by the new ware
houses, erected in the vicinity of the
depot, the large quantities of tobacco
daily arriving here are rapidly removed
from the levee and greater facilities are
afforded boats for landing freight. At no
time this Spring has the levee been SO
free of tobacco as at present, although
the arrivals continue quite large.

nH- 1t will be remembered that no
little controversy was carried on through
the papers at the time, as to whether the
right wing of Gen. ROsecrans' army was
surprised at the battle of Murfreesboro.

away and been lost sight of, the puollca-
