families have been divided by the war.
The bed of the La Plat river was also
raised twelve or fifteen feet in spots. not by
tho earth sliding in but by an apparent
crowdng up of the bed of the stream. On
the whole it was a singular affair. No one
saw it take place, but the hour at which ii
occurred is fixed by some workmen who
having left with load of hay, returned to

We have used no old party warfare in
this election, but appeal to men of all par
ties alike. Nor do you find any partisan
warfare except in the copperhead papers.
You look in vain for old party names save
m these papers. The Union party have
put on their tickets men from both the old
parties, and have thus proved their .no
party professions. Not SO with those who
pretend to represent the democratic party

Eg Every loyal man should go to the
polls next Tuesday!

e. Let it be remembered that where
there is most slavery there is the most trea-
son. and in the northern States, where you
find the most sympathy with slavery, there
you find the most copperheads and rebel
sympathizers An ardent negro hater is
sure to be copperhead and friend of the
traitors. Thus slavery and treason are
welded and interviewer together.

kENTUcKr-The Union majority in
Kentucky will stand at about 10000. The
copperheads at first claimed that they lost
the State by the Interference of the militia
ry under Burnside, that " democrats . were
not allowed 10 vote; but having found out
that there was full vote, they have now
tarned about and claim the Union victory

against the Nallandigham democracy, and
the following shows that he, at least, has no
sympathy with copperheads He said
Kentucky is slave State and voted
against Lincoln. He was not here as an
advocate of Lincoln. He had always been
Douglas democrat, aud was to day slave
owner, and yet was denounced as an aboli
ZIONIST by the Louisville Journal and 9TH
ers, he was happy to say that there was
1000 abolition majority in his district.
The speaker considered the charge that
the war was waged for the destruction of
slavery as untrue, for Kentucky stands to-
day slave State; so it is with MARYLAND
and Delaware. Not one of their institu-
tons have been interfercd with by the
Government; emancipation was not effect
ed IN these, because their integrity is main
tanned and they have stood by the Govern
ment, and so the Government has stood by
them.
The speaker then gave the reasons WHY
slavery was interfered with, which are fa-
miliar TO all, and gave his own position on
slavery in Kentucky. in reference to the
Emancipation proclamation, lie said he and
probably all the people in Kentucky were
opposed to it, because it might affect Union
men. But it has been issued-wbat shall
we do! Revolt No! There is not power
enough to take Kentucky out of the Union.
We say to-day, that if Ohio doesn't staud
up to the cause Kentucky will whip her
into it.
In The same manner they had been op-
posed TO the negro regiments, vet still
would stand by the Government, mt down
the rebellion, and remedy evils at the bal

MANCHESTER, TENN, June 27.-My
last despatch was up to o'clock on the
evening Of the oath. The firing then
ceased, and the attention Of the men was
given 90 caring foe the wounded, and
preparing for battle on the coming day.
All night the rain poured down in tor
rents. The industry Of the troops was
undated; cheerfally tho work went on.
On the morning of the 25,h we were
posted in readiness for action, and our
artillery opened early, receiving no reply
until nearly noon. The cannonding for
two hours was terrific, Toward evening
it died away, and reinforcements came
pouring in. 8ousseau's Brannan'a, and
Reynolds's divisions moved 10 positions
on the hills. 1t had rained all day, and
at night the torrents only grew in
volume. All night in the slush, cold,
and wet, wearied with the march ar
suffering for sleep, through the mud and
rain, the herculean work Of dragging
artillery TO the hill-tops, and climbing
on spongy soil, continued until day
break, which saw the beginning of
another rainy day.
The forenoon was employed in making
preparations for a severe battle, which
seemed inevitable. Troops kept pouring
in; the bills were alive with men and
frowned with artillery. At ten minutes
before twelve O'clock the line Of battle,
with Gems. Reynolds on the left, Brannan
in the centre, and Rousseau on the right,
moved slowly up the ascent on which the
enemy was posted. A battery of the
FIRST Ohio protected the column and drove
the enemy back. Skirmishers were all
the force the enemy had; the veil re-
moved, naked victory offered itself
The mounted infantry, under Colonel
Wilder, took the rough, mountainous roa
along Gauison's fork, and advanced on
Beech Grove. Finding no enemy there,
they took to the bsrrens, picked way
through 90 the rear Of MATHS hollow.
from whence the enemy fed the day pre-
yious, aud joined the infantry at the
point where his command struck the
Manchester pike. We rested all night al
Howells, five miles from Manchester.
and to-day, the 9th, dashed into the
place, capturing a large party of rebels,
including Capt Anderson, Of the First
Kentucky rebel calvary.
Wilders scouts captured yesterday a
courier from Morgan and Wheeler'e
commands with important dispatches.

RAIN, RAIN.-It would seem that now

wind. Pleasant it was TO the in

war of elements; butlol the poor soldier,
what dreary time it must have been to
him. But these rains, though TO him
they must be, for the moment, unpleasant,
are at last a blessing. They render

A gentleman from Murfreesboro in
forms us that there is but little reliable
information in that place relative to the
incidents attending the forward move
ment OF the Army Of the Cumberland.
We must be patient. BY and bye, we
shall be permitted to know something Of
what is going on; and then we shall
hear doubtless, of triumph and glory;
for if these things do not attend the
march of that army, we have greatly
mistaken its character.
