The CAPTURE OF Col. STREIGHr.-A
Washington telegram says that Schuyler
Colfax has received letters from officers of
Streight's brigade, captured by Forrest in
Georgia, giving an entirely different state
ment as to their capture from those pub
Ii.hed in the rebel papers. They defeated
Forrest three times, captured two pieces
of artillery, killed one hundred, wounded
two hundred, took many prisoners lost
themselves about sixty killed and wound
ed, and finally, as two hundred and fifty
of their mon had gone twenty-five miles in
advance, the remaining thousand surren-
dered to 400 rebels. The officers were
to retain their colors, sidearms and mouey.
The privates were to retain all except their
arms, but they were finally stripped of
blankets, canteens, and even knives and
combs, &c. The retention of the officers,
on the requisition of Gov. Shorter, on the
charge Of their arming negroes, is the
flimsiest possible excuse, and was based
on the following A member of the 73d
Indiana captured a silver-mounted carbine
from one of Roddy's officers, and presented
it to Lieut.. Col. Walker. The Colonel's
servant carried it, along with his other
things, and from this the charge originated
on which they refuse to exchange the Off
GERS of that brigade.

the authorities there were busy hunting
and down the river, the Japan sailed irs
Greenock. He says:
g never sent any such telegraph
the one imputed, to Mr.. Adams, or any :
the subject of the sailing of this vesss
and the English Government, so Y
as ! know, never took any steps whste's
at Liverpool or elsewhere, to stop her ny
sailing. The steamer Japan was moi

was built at Dumbarton, on the CLYDE

the mouth of that river, within the con-

A SUMMING UP.-Mr. Colburn, the
released correspondent of the New York
World, thus sums up the conclusions
which be formed during three weeks
sojoum within the limits of the Davis
Coniederaey;
LIST, The people are brave, determined
and IN the main united.
I'd, There may be temporary suffering
for want of sufficient food, but starvation
is impossible.
Sd, Although they can never probably
have their armies again III as high mum
Der as now, and the material for conscrip-
ton is almost exhausted, yet as the war
has been conducted thus far, their military
resources are sufficient to keep the strug-
gle for two years more,
4th, Their strength is thrown entirely
to the frontiers, and if that frontier line
were once pierced--if our generals begin
to do their duty, the whole fabric of re-
bellion will so topping down, like house
built of cards.
9Th, Union and perseverance at the
North are what the rebels most dread,
The above is clipped from a paper sim
liar, politically, to the World, and we hope
other papers of the same complexion will
notice 1t, - that they, as well as the
World, will give it particular heed. a
correspondent of the World can hardly
be suspected of disappearing matters
in favor Of the North. Yet this one, it
will be seen, states, in substance that the
material for Southern CONSUMPTION is al
most exhausted, and the rebel armies can
never probably again be as large as now;
although he thinks their military resources
''as the war has been conducted" would
be sufficient to keep up the struggle for
tUo gears longer. Suppose they can
and we take no notice Of the next conclu-
sion of the correspondent. We know
how the foundation Of most copperhead
building has been the assumption that
the rebels aeoer could be conquered by the
North. This correspondents "conclu-
sion,' is rather Earring to such foundation.
But, says the Worlds correspondent,
substantially, the only hope of the rebels,
in their waning fortunes, lies in want Of
union and perseverance at the north. Yet
the WorId, and Its sympathisers. and fol-
lowers, VIGOROUSLY have done and are
dong nothing, in all this great struggle,
but incite opposition to 1.-THE government in
which lies our only hope, and foment di-
visions among the people even to the
threatening of instruction at the north.
May the World carefully ponder conclu-
sion number "5," of its own correspo.-
dent fresh from Rebellion, and profit
thereby.

The Iron PLATFoRM."-This is the
name of very able paper published
monthly in New York, by VIM. GLAND
Bourne. 1t has deservedly attained a
large circulation and is exerting wide
influence in the right direction. The low
price at which it is published brings it
within the reach of all, and 1t contains
much very valuable reading which does
not reach the public through other chan
nels. The paper has received the hearty
commentator of the leading journals of
the country; and its character is indicated
by the following notice of it from the Al
bany Evening Journal
"THE IRON PLATFORM This sheet,
edited by VIM. GLAND Bourne, and pub
hshed in the city of New York, is repro
ducing the papers originating with the
members of the Democratic League. The
papers present an ''inside view" of the
motives and reasonings in which the re-
bellion originated. They disclose, with
remarkable fidelity and accuracy, the pur-
poses Of the great conspiracy to overthrow
Free Government in the South. 1t is i'm
possible for the intelligent reader to peruse
them without being startled at the boldness
and enormity of both the motives and pro-
jects of the conspirators. These papers
present superior claims upon the attention
of the public. They come from the 10y
al Union men of the South, whose stand
point for observation has enabled them to
dellneate with accuracy, and to fortify
with evidence, the real motives that moved
in the undercurrent of the conspiracy
The Evening Post remarks: "We be-
ieve there are none who see quite as clear
ly as those sincere and decided Unionists
who are of Southern origin, the truth, that
this contest which has been forced upon
us, is struggle for the existence of pop
ular government" We heartily recon-
mend the widest circulation of these pa
pers,

of the two Fire Companies of the village
are in good condition. The hose needs
some repairs. The Trustees are contract
ing for stock of Hooks and Ladders.
During the past year there have been
only three alarms of fire. A fire occurred
on Franklin street, which was extinguished
with a few buckets of water, and the
damage done was slight. Engine Com
pany No. 2 was soon on the spot, but was
not required to work. No. ! was under
repairs at the time. On the Goth Of April
building was burned in the rear of the
old "Union Store" Both Engines were
on hand, but were prevented from doing
much service by a scarcity of water.
The Village has reason to congratulate
itself upon its exemption, with these few
small exceptions, from fires during the
year past.
AN "EsTRAY."-About nine o'clock in
the evening of the 18th, some one knock
ed at the door of Mr.. Reuben Martins
house on the south road in Bradford, and
on going to the door Mr.. Martin was
somewhat surprised to find no one there
excepting little, round faced, bright
eyed baby boy, carefully deposited on the

and kindly cared for; and it is said that
Mr. Martin and wife have decided to adopt
and rear it as their own. 1t is Judged to
be about one month old.

AS predicted the other day, Vallandig-

violent in dencuncing the Government and
the orders Of Gen. Burnside, counseling resist
aucp. Last evening Gen. burnside dispatched
a special train to Dayton, with comp any of

left at midnight, and reached Dayton at 8
o'clock in the morning The party proceeded
10 bis house and sought admittance, which
was denied. They broke in the outside door,
when Valandigham appeared at an upper
window and asked their business. About this
time gun was fred from one of his upper
windows, which, it seems, was the signal
agreed upon for an alarm. 1t was followed
by a tingling Of the FIRE bells, to arouse and
assemble his friends, but tho latter did not re-

confined all day, and although some Of his
friends called and sought an interview, admis-
sion was declined. The regular trains from
Dayton have brought down number Of his
fri ,nds to-day, but finding he could not be
seen, they have returned home. sHEsJ
Several prominent Union citizens Of Dayton,
fearing trouble there this evening, came down
to-day and called on Gen. Burnside for assist.
nnce. A special train with soldiers was sent
up at Z o'clock this afternoon, and more are
ready 10 60 as soon as it is necessary. Val.
landgbam, it is understood, will be tried by
court martial to morrow. The Mount Vernon
speech will not be the only charge against
him. His arrest has given great satisfaction
here to the macs Of our clizens, and the course
Of Gen. b. is unusually approved, while The
few who sympathizs with him have lost all
courage and appear very much detected.

'rebelloo. Ireland is England's weak place,
and Ireland is so full Of misery, that disaffec-
tion would be strengthened by despair. In
case Of a war, the first move Of England, il
che is wise, will be to strengthen every garri
son in Ireland. The fact that hundreds Of
Irisbmep are now leaving almost daily for
America, ostensibly TO, work on railroads, is
not pleasant to the Confederate sympathizcrs
1t one of the grievances Of the English
that while their commerce has been interfered
with, that OF France has been respected. Ii
has seemed to me for the past year that each
country has been trying to make cats paw
of the other to get the chestnuts that both
want out Of the fire. Franco wants cotton and
trade as we'll as England. The sympathy
with the South is not SO general in France as
in England, but there can be no doubt, l be
lieve, as to the feelings Of the Emperor, and
he, for all practical purposes, is the State. 1t
is the policy of the Emperor to make all the
Powers around him at once subordinate and
useful. Eugland, Spain and Italy arc his
allies. I think they will do nothing without
his support, and that America, in a war with
England, cannot rely upon the aid of any
Government in Europe. orp. s,uf +. i.
The best solution Of the whole difficulty is
to end the war. Let Vieksburg and Charles
ton be taken, Johnston be beaten in Tenres-
see, and Lee in Virginia. Let Richmond b.
occupied by national army, and the Euro
pean Powers might be left to their own de.
vices.
