steaming out to sea. The fleet comprises
some twenty vessels, accompanied by gun
boats. Gen. Ord is severely sick.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Advices from the
front are to the effect.that Gen. Fitzpatrick
occupied the city and heights of F'reder-
icksburg yesterday, and was in position to

ere this, and is now entrenching itself on
the south bank of the Rappahannock.
Inc train conveying the wounded from
the battle of Kellys Ford, to the number
OF one hundred and fifty, arrived here at 10
O'Clock, totnight. There are no ambulan-
ees there to transport the wounded to the
hospital, and it may be several hours be-
fore they will be placed where they can re-
ceive surgical attention. s.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Iribune's spe-
clai says that the next fortnight promises
70 De the most eventful Of any since the
commencement of the war. The success OF
Meaoe, and the recent operations in Burn

IONS IONS OF the gigantic conflict, of which the
mes OF battle will stretch from Chattanoo-
ga 10 Washington and Richmond. For
once tnere seems to be concert of action be-
tween the different armies, and this augers
favorable result. 1t is true Burnside is
threatened both from the east and west by
large armlse, put he knows it, and measures

DAYTON, Nov. IA grand demonstra-

wood and provision procession for the re-

may be judged of from the fact that there
were 325 wagons heavily ladened with
wood, 20 drays of flour, and go wagons fill

this short distance the firing was beautiful
and the effect demoralizing. That of the
enemy was also very fine.
While this was going on, Russell was
busy with his musketry. He pushed his

enemy's works until nearly sunset, when
his own brigade, composed of the 5th Wis

steadily and silently onward, fighting as

they fixed bayonets and pitched in with
cold steel. This was too much even for the
flower Of the Southern army, for it was the
much Wanted Louisiana Brigade they
found there, and, after short hand-to.
hand contest, they turned to flee to their
pontoons, which were lying directly in
their rear. But here they were fOiled. Our
boys had already secured the approach tc
the bridge, and they had no alternative
hut to surrender or to swim for it. Some

H@a Some one of the different
scribblers of the Cadiz Republican,
comes out in long article last week,
which sounds very Lewtonish, in which
the impression is tried to be conveyed
that We are opposing the soldiers of
the army. Now this fellow knew when
he wrote that that he was insinuating
base falsehood. We have done all
that we were able to do to assist them
and their families, and we intend to
continue doing so. We shall also treat
the soldiers families with that proper
respect and decorum that is due from
all good citizens. We shall not urge
men to go to war, and after they are
gone try to insult their families in the
basest manner, as the person done
who we believe wrote the article re-
ferred to.
A toady calls the Administration
the Government. We call the Gov
ernment the people and the Admins
tration the mere servants of the peo-
pie. We support the Government,
but oppose its servant, the Admins
tration, in all of its unconstitutional
acts.

WASHINGTON April 12.-The steamer Flam.

manders had not been received up to the

advanced upon Charleston, on the 7th, in
the following order:

pont and his staff on board; next followed
the Catskill, Capt. Bogers; Nantucket, Capt,
Fairfax; Nahou', Cap. Downs and Keokuk,
Capt. Rhind.
In this order they proceeded up The main
channel, arriving within LOO yards OF the
main forts. Tie Ironsides became unman.
ageable owing to the tide and the larrowness
Of the channel and was therefore obliged to
drop anchor to prevent her drifting ashore,
and owing to these circumstances she sig
nailed her consorts TO disregard her motions.
The remainder OF the squadron continued
on its course and soon came within easy
range Of the rebel fire from all points. The
distractions OF the channel from Ft. Sumter
to Moultfis interfere with the progress of our
ships. s Hs9
In consequence Of this and the position of
the Ironsides as above stated the plan ofop-
eratioas was deranged, and the space ior
manouvsring being only from 500 to 1000
yards the vessels were obliged to prepare
and at once engage the forts and the adjacent
batteries. lE

Democratic Policy.

There need be no misunderstanding
with regard to the Democracy in this
war, and all canting of the Republican
press, and all interpolating and sup
pressions with which they seek to
change the tenor Of Democratic spec
ehes cannot alter it. The Democracy
are in favor of the Union, the Consti-
tuition and the laws. They are willing
to fight for them, and have done so.
They are willing to sacrifice all they
possess for their maintenance and have
given abundant proof of their liberality
in the manner in which they have re-
sponded to the numerous calls of the
Government. And the Democracy do
not feel sympathy with the war for
the abolition of slavery alone. They
do not affiliate with the administration
nor do they sanction its violations
of the Constitution. The stand the
Democrats have taken is for the Union
and the Constitution, and it admits of
no misconstruction. Not all the trai>
tors in the South or their Abolition
cOSFERRERs in the North can swerve
us from our purpose. We have right
to criticise the Administration and we
shall exercise it. And SO long as fa>
natics and ultraists are permitted to
shape the destinies of the Republic,
just so long shall VIC denounce and
condemn such mistaken and fatal
policy. =

tory with that of the grand old party
Of the country-the Democratic par
ty. Amid storm and sunshine it has
ever remained true to the fundamen-
tai principles Of our Government.-
Uninfuenenced by favor, unawed by
fear, it has been the unswerving ad-
vocate of truth. Never trucking to
passion or prejudice, it has established
itself firmly in the hearts of the peo-
pie. The Constitution, in its estima-
ton, is good enough political chart
for any people-it goes not beyond it
for singer law" but is &w-abiding
and order loving. 1t teaches obedi-
nee to constitutional laws as cardi-
nal principle. 1t has survived the
mutations of over eighty years, and
will survive as long as Liberty is held
sacred among men. It's tendency is
to make the country great, powerful
and happy. Lovers of your country

The Only TRUE Union Leagucs.


The New York Express we'll says,
that the only true Union League just
now is the Democratic party. If the
old Wing patty existed, there would
be another Union party-another true
Union League. But now, that the
Wing party is dead, the only true
Union League is the old National
Democratic party, which for sixty odd
years carried on "the Government"
without arbitrarily arresting any body;
without having established Bastiles fer
the incarceration ofpolitical offenders;
without civil war and with such gener-
al prosperity and happiness that three
millions of people, under their auspi>
ces, grew up to be thirty millions, with
power and empire extended from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and with glory
and honor all over the globe. This
party is now the only true Union
League party LEFT.

Then the ipfuerce Of the she ddy contractors
and the fact that vast numbers Of people are
making money out OF the war--that, as o
whole, The people Of the State are making
money out OF the war-were worth five to
ten thousand votes to the Abolition ticket.
In Wisconsin it is different. There the
people are losing money by The war.
In Indiana and Ohio the gains are large
for the Democracy. We discover how the
Aboltioni is have succeeded in Cincinnsti.

Rhode Island Election.

The result OF the Rhode Island election
on Wednesday seems to have relieved the
Alb, lition pal ers amazingly. Their rejoic-
ing over the event looks as if they had been
in d, ubt lest that State, too, would desert
their stan lard Tn, Tribune rejoices and
cries "AlI hail, Rhode Island" Let us see
what there is in the result for Abolition ex
ulation.
In the election in Rhode Island in 1860,
Mr., Lincoln poled 1924 and Douglas and
Breckenridge united 7,707, showing ma.
jority for the former of 4,537; the contest
just closed, which has so inspired the Abol-
tion organs, has gone against the Democracy
by about two thousand votes less; and yet
they cry "Rhods Island, all hail." II losing
one half of their majority in two years, and
in such State as Rhode Island, polling less
votes than we have in Allegheny county, is
a cause for Abolition rejo C ng, we trust that
they may enjoy themselves in that way for
