do patriotic men think of it?

DEAR COLONEL: kind note and

Gg-I is said that one of the shells thrown
into Charleston from General Gilmore's
guns shattered to pieces the statue of John
c. Calhoun, standing in front of the Court
House of that city. That shell did a good
work. If the doctrines he taught could be
as easily and thoroughly destroyed. we
should soon have peace-the Old Flag
would be regarded with its former honors
through all our borders, and our whole
people be once more devoted to their coun-
try, its honor, glory and prosperity. But
we think the rebels are learning the folly
OF his teachings. We may hope that after
while they will themselves destroy all
such memorials OF traitors against social
order, .a'

a"No compromise with Abolitionists'
We must support principle!' So said the
the Dubuque Herald on Tuesday. But the
first principle of the Herald is to "compro-
mise" with TRAITORS! It is not SO much of
a compromise, however. Treason is its end
and aim. The desire it holds above all
others is to overturn the liberties of the
people. Of course it won't compromise
with Aboltionists." Those it calls "Abol-
itionists" are in favor of the Union, of the
Republic, Of human rights and public lib
erty. The Herald is against all these
Hence its opposition to any compromise.
1t has found out by this time what Iowa
patriots mean to do.

@- Much as we rejoice over the en-
phatic assertion our citizens have given OF
their devotion to the Union,-over the Sc
we're rebuff the conspirators have received
in Iowa, we are not all disposed to offend
the sensibilities of large proportion of the
honest men who, deluded by falsehoods,
voted with or for the foul crew whose pur-
pose is the destruction of the Union. We
sympathize with them because we are sat-
isfied that they really desire the main
tenance of the Union and are merely mis-
taken in their associates and in the means
of sustainingit. Ifthey were not deceived,
basely deceived, they would be with u.s.
If they had not been deceived they would
have been with us on Tuesday. And we
look forward to day, not distant, when
they will actually place themselves by our
side and labor effectually for the Union,
and against the traitors who have blinded
them.

N4-on Tuesday all our Union citizens

N1-On Tuesday all our Union citizens
did their duty nobly. Our German citizens
especially deserve honor for their earnest
and jealous labors in the cause and their
sturdy putting aside of all minor issues
and steadfast adherence to the one para
mount question which involves the exis-
tence of the Nation. All honor to them!
All honor, too, to the numerous Democrats,
who, throwing aside their old party at
tachments, spurning CONTEMPORARY the
falsehoods and delusions Of those who
sought to lure them to ruin, on Tuesday
ranged themselves on the side of the Coun-
try and the Union and assisted to bury the
Copperheads deeper than ever plummet
sounded. We honor them for their man
hood and patriotism. We commend their
example to others. Let all true Democrats
do likewise, so shall our united efforts soon
strike rebels with dismay and bring peace
and Union to our afflicted country.

The Peace Democracy Tri-
umphant in New Work.

We confess we are somewhat surprised
though very agreeably, at the election OF
G. GODFREY GuNTHER, the candidate Of
the out-and-out Peace Democracy of New
York City for Mayor We had looked
upon the election of BooLE, as foregone
conclusion. He had received the nomina-
ton of the Tammany Hall Democracy, and
was endorsed by the Mozart, which isgen-
orally supposed equivalent to an election.
Mr.. GUNTHER was supported by the Jour
nal of Commerce, Day Book, Freemdn'S
Journal, and Metropolitan Record, all out
spoken and uncomp promising peace organs.
Both the Democratic candidates beat
Blunt the regular Abolition candidate,
and the contest was really between GUN
THEE and Bo0LE. The aggregate Demo
cratic vote is 5l,6l6. GUNTHER's major
ity over BooLE is 6,454. Combined Dem.
ocratic majority over the Abolition candi'
date, 80, 1856. New York City is now re
deemed from Abolition rule, and if the
Democracy are wise, as they should be
they will never again allow party feuds tC
lose them the control of its municipal af
fairs.

FROM NEW YORK,

NEW FORK, Nov. l9.
The Tribune has the following highly
important special
Knoxville, Nov. 10.
The enemy began skirmishing from
their position on the Kingston road at ten
o'clock this morning.
0lds' advance alone, composed wholly of
mounted infantry and cavalry, commanded
the position, under command Of General
Sanders, and each man acted like vet
eran.
At noon the enemy opened with artillery
at a very short range; their battery was
protected'by large house.
BeDjsmin's battery was the only one
which replied, occupying the chief FORTH
cation one mile in front of the town.
A desperate charge was made by the
enemy about three clock in the afternoon.
Our men were protected by rail barracks
on the crest Of hill. General Sanders
was very severely wounded, and was
borne from the field. We yielded the DO
sition and fell back one third Of 9 mile to
a stronger one. We have lost about one
hundred, and quarter of them killed.
The enemy has completely invested the
place, but Gen. Burnside will defend it to
the last man, and it is believed successful
Iy. The troops are in the best spirits.
Our important point is fortified and conf
dence prevails that we shall whip the
enemy.

FOREIGN NEWS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 70.
The following is a synopsis Of the news
by the Persia:
The shareholders of the Great Eastern
have resolved to try and raise eG0,O and
place the vessel on the India or Australia
route.
Richardson, Spence & Co. announce
their intention of running line of first
class steamers from Liverpool to Philsdel-
phis. |
The Italian Minister Of War has ordered
the line Of the Valturno to be placed in q
state of defense and the fortress Of Gslts
to be provisioned.
Nothing else worth telegrsphing.
A late London paper published q memo
rial from the Glasgow Emancipation So
eiety, to Earl Russell, representing that a
vessel, similar to the Alabama, was in that
hsrbor, and has just been launched by
James and George Thompson, and that
machinery was being rapidly placed in her
with q view of hurrying of to sea, al
though unfinished, and which is reported
to be for the purpsse of pirsting under the
rebel flag. She was bulls, under contract,
for W. s. Lindsay. She has gun ports and
all other appliances Of war. The vessel is
disguised with paint, and Moffstt, Of the
Florida,is in Glasgow waiting to take COM
msnd Of her; and the memorislists i'm
Plore Russell to prevent her departure.
