Is he a Comprehend?

1t was reported in the township of
Champion, just before the election, by
some of the secessionists that, there R.R.
Packard from that township, a soldier in
Gan. Rosecrans' army, had written to his
father, Mr.. Thomas Packard, advising
him to vote the Democratic Secesh tick
ct, and saying that he should never again
vote the Republican ticket: that he was
tired of the war, &c, &c.
We make the following extract from a
letter from him to his father, dated ut
Nashville, Tenn, April LIST.
Il am sorry to hear of trouble amongst
you at homs. but the way to deal with
such traitors is TO give them no quarters.
| would shoot one of them down as quick
as | would a dog before / would stand and
see such men tear down the old flag of
this country.
Shooting is the game in this army, for
all deserters taken up and brought back
to their Regiments, but it would save a
good deal of expense 20 shoot them down
wherever they catch them. Fetch a few
before the troops to set an example be-
fore them. Shooting is too good for the
eopperheads. The best way is to give
them orders to pack up and move over
across the lines, and see that they a'int
long about getting ready"

The Result of the ELECTIONS.

The results of the elections held last
week in the States of Connecticut, Mich
igan and Ohio, are peculiarly gratifying
to the uncompromising friends of the
National Government. In each of the
States named, the Union men met a
closely organized, desperate and unscru-
pulous party, and overwhelmed them
with most signal defeat. The political
victories thus achieved are of great inn
portance, and worth quite as much to the
cause of the Union as a splendid victory
over the rebels on the battlefield. Be
cause these triumphs have been secured
with bloodless weapons, they are no less
glorious or less significant. Our success
at the polls was a blow of infinite damage
to the hopes, prospects and wishes of
rebel sympathizers in the North, and
cannot but be fraught with desponding
suggestions to the rebel leaders of the
South. The loyal voice is still for war"
1t has spoken out boldly in the majesty
of its incorruptible patriotism, hat the
Union must and shall be preserved"
and hat traitors shall not rob the virtu-
Gus freemen of the Nation of the price
less liberties bequeathed by an ancestry
who purchased them with their blood
They were too dearly bought, and are too
highly appreciated to be so lightly cher
ished or easily given up to the i~nsolent
demands of slaveholding despots.
The late elections have demonstrated
that there is a reserve force yet in the
North, notwithstanding the mighty ar
mics of teeming thousands that have gone
forth from our midst-there is still an
invincible force at home, able to hold in
check the diabolical attempts of copper
head politicians TO compromise the dig
nifty and honor, and peril the existence
of the nation.
We have not a particle of doubt that
the opposition expected to sweep all be-
fore them this Spring. They had been
for months connecting schemes and or
ganizing their forces, with a view to carry
the local elections, thinking that the
Union party would not discover their
intentions in time to counterfeit the de-
signed imposture on the people. But in
this they were e~gregiously Mistaken
We saw we went in. and we conquered.
Butternuts nave declined since the 9th
instant. They are not worth "shucks"
now. Copperheads generally have retired
to winter quarters again. Politically they
are in a state of torpor. Personally they
are nearly as scarce just now in this To-
callty as their kin have been in the Eme-
raid Isle since the days of st. Patrick
The sickly few who venture out, look as
though they were suffering from damaged
craniums. A great many aspiring CUP
perheads have been politically defunct
since the first Monday in April They
have sunken to the base earth from
which they sprung, "unwept, union
ored, and unsung."

Official Report of Capt. C. w. Smith,
of the Trumbull Guards.
Posi- HEAD QUARTERS,
Gallipolis, O., April End, '6S.

Gov. Ton: Dear &r-Sunday last, the
29th inst, a detachment of rebels, under
the command of the notorious Gen. Jen-
kins, estimated 400 strong, got in the rear
of our forces who were at Red House"
on the Kanawha River-and on Monday
occupied Point Pleasant, Virginia, at
which place only one company of fifty
men, of the 18th Va, were Stationed
This Company determined not 10 be ia
ken-occupied the Court House, and for
four hours fought nearly ten times their
number, when they were relieved by for
ces from this place. News of their pos
session of the Point soon reached me-
A few moments afterwards word came
that they were crossing the river to Ohio.
Forthwith 1 dispatched one cam on and
my Company under the command of
Lieut's Gilman and Freer, to drive them
back, and render what assistance was in
their power to our troops at the Point.
Immediately l proceeded 10 organize
the convalescents at the hospital into
companies-armed them-and forwarded
them TO the support of those who had
gone before. Previous to this, ] had two
howitzers mounted upon the upper deck
of the steamer Victor, No. ., protected
by bales of hay, and supported by volun-
teers. l placed them in command of
Capt. Bags, and sent them up the river
to shell the ''secesh" out of the town.
My company the "Trumbull Guards" ~
and a portion of the convalescents, eros
sed the river on the Victor, landed an a
moment, climbed a steep bank, some thirty
feet high, formed on a double quick"
and proceeded to kill and capture. Not
one of my men wavered. The enemy
fled before them like "chaff before the
wind" Never did men behave more val
iantly than the "Trumbull Guards"
The loss on our side was one killed, two
wounded-one severely-and thirteen
prisoners who were paroled. The enc
my's loss in killed, wounded and prison
ers, was at least seventy. Some twenty

Union League Meeting.

Pursuant to an announcement, E. s.
Budd, ESQ.,, late of Missouri, addressed
the Union League of this place On last
Friday evening. His remarks were a
plain, straightforward statement of the
issues he deemed involved in the contest
with the rebels, mingled with many inte-
resting references to his personal expert
ence among the rebel land-pirates of Mis-
souri,. Although Mr.. Budd has always
been a firm adherent to the Democratic
party, he does not follow the leaders of
that party who labor to find excuses for
traitors and rebels. He was about two
years in the Union service as a soldier,
and only left because of failing health
His property was taken from him by the
rebels, and his life placed in such peril
that it was unsafe for him to remain in
Missouri.
Mr.. Budd, we are pleased to learn, will
address the people of this county, in the
different townships, at convenient oppor-
tunities. His advice to his old Demo
cratic friends is, to give up their narrow
policy of opposing the government, and
=nite with the loyal people of the North
in the work of subduing the rebellion
His remarks were listened to with mark
ed attention, and were frequently ap-
plauded.
When Mr.. Budd had concluded his
remarks, w. o. Forrist, Esq. was called
out, and made one of his Characteristic
ally stirring speeches, in which the cop
perhead fraternity were not spared.
E. B. Tayler, Esq, will address the
League on Friday evening next.

Another Fight at Murfreesboro.

The following has been received at
Head quarters
MURFREEsBoRo, April ll.-To Major
General HaAeck:-The following dispatch
was received from Gen. Granger on the
10th -
Van Dorm made his promised attack
today at one o'clock, directly in front and
on the town. The infantry regiments on
guard in town with the cavalry pickets
held him at bay until their ammunition
was exhausted. The dense smoke, &C.,
favored their operations, enabling them
10 approach very near without our being
able to observe them. Our siege guns and
light batteries opened with murderous
effect, literally strewing the ground with
men and horses.
L had halted Stanley four miles out on
the Murfresboro road. He at once cross
ed his forces over at Heights Mills, Wig
orously attacking Porsest's division, NOV
ing down on the Lewisburg pike, captur-
ing six pieces of artillery and some 200
prisoners, but owing to the ~unfavorable
nature of the country, was unable to hold
them, and being attacked by greatly SUI
perior numbers, was o~pt-fanked and
nearly surrounded. Our loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners is less than 100,
while that of the enemy cannot be less
than three times that number. They
were repulsed on all sides and driven I'M
til darkness prevented the pursuit.
Capt. Mcintyre of the 4th Regulars
took the battery and prisoners, bringing
off 30 odd of the latter.

Encouraging to Far Lers

The rapid increase in the proportions OF
the Polish instruction is destined to have
a considerable influence upon the agricul-
tural interests of this country. The coun-
try over which the war is likley to spread
embraces a large portion of tee wheat re-
gion, whence Russia draws her supplies
for exports. The disturbance caused by
the rebellion will hinder agricultural OPP
erations to such an extent that European
nations will be more dependant than ever
on the United States for their breadstufis.
