Since the elections the Democratic
papers have run into an interesting
quarrel. The New York World, Cleve-
land Plaindealcr, and Ohio Statesman,
have declared in favor Of u vigorous
prosecution Of the war, and are gently
condemning their brethren of the peace
persuasion, and calling the nomination
Of Vallandigham u mistake. But the
voice of the New York News, the Gin
clnnati Enquirer, tho Columbus Crisis,
and similar sheets is still for peace
The Enquirer insists that the Democ-
racy are for peace, and cannot be
carried over to the war policy
Who will triumph we are unable to say
but "a house divided against itself, &c
The best thing that could happen for
the Union party, is for the Vallandig-
ham journals and politicians to again
take control of the organization, and
fl ;ht the campaign on the peace prin-
cipIc.

We are on the eve Of tremendous events.
Battles far surprising all our previous
ones in magnitude, will soon Oil the air
with their roar. We cannot exactly say,
with the imaginative Louisville Democrat,
that we see fiery snakes branching the
pallid States with ophidean dentalities,"
Owe are not sure that we have caught the
phrase,) but we can almost feel the solid
earth tremble. All the strength, all the
patriotism, and all the fiery zeal which
thepeople possess must be launched forth
in few swift and herculean blows. The
existence Of the country is at stake
Freedom Is involved in the issue. Peace
and prosperity are the prizes for which
we fight. Never was the Government IN
80 fine a condition for striking crush
Ing blow at her enemies as 1t is now. In
spite of the magnitude Of the struggle
which is close at hand, we cannot bul
feel sanguine Of success.

A Meeting Mt the II oms of the Union

THE STORY OF RETURNED PRISONERS FROM
RICHMOND.

a large gathering of the members of
the Union League assembled at their
rooms, last evening, TO hear the narrative
of some Of the Union soldiers directly
liberated from the Rebel prisons in Rich
mOnd.
The meeting was organized by calling
A. G. Gangwer TO the chair There were
present four returned soldiers who be-
longed to the detachment sent out on the
9TH of April last, from ShelbyVille, Ten
nessee, consisting of twenty-five picked
men, and whcse mission it was TO pene-
trate the Southern lines, seize an engine
on the line of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga Railroad, and run down into the
heart of the State of Georgia, and cut off
important Rebel communications with the
North. The expedition failed for want
OF cutting tine telegraph wires in iinle 10

Mr.. Buffman first occupied the stand,
aud gave a brief account of the trials of
this little band of Spartans. He was
followed by Mr.. Pettinger, who spoke at
length upon TIE expedition, its objects and
failure, and the terrible suffering of the

They were imprisoned in eight differ

sometimes under ground, and once occu-

number were executed, by hanging,
without an hours notice Of their impend-
ing fate, and in spite of their supplica-
tions TO have time granted them to pre-
pare for death In Richmond they were
incarcerAted in Castle Thunder, and
finally, after nearly one years sojourn
among the rebels, return once more 20
their native land.
Mr. Pettinger, who possesses more than
ordinary intelligence and literary ability,
gave many interesting details, and elioi-
ted rounds Of applause by his denunoia-
tions Of the Oopperhead Democrats.
Among other things, be referred to the
noble conduct Of Mr. Parrott, who rather

We have received a slip cut from the

Lieut.. JAMES CHAPMAS, Of the l29th II

We must say that Lieut.. CHAPMAN has
talents as letter writer. The writer who
enclosed us this precious letter, adds:
The Rock Island argus is one of the
worst Copperhead sheets in the North.
The editor has several times refused to
publish resolutions and letters from loyal
soldiers, but will jump at the chance to
publish all such letters. Said editor was
formerly in the employ of the Govern
ment as Purssr in the Navy, and was dis
missed for dishonesty.

The New Albany (Ind) Ledger says:
Sol Hushaw, respectable and wealthy
citizen Of Fountain county, put an end
TO bis existence Thursday evening in the
following manner: He was in the town
of Attics during the afternoon, aud, in
conversation with several citizens stated
that he belonged TO certain secret po-

could conscientiously take, but the see
ond and third wero treason; aud, in
consequence Of having divulged some Of
the secrets Of the order, he feared they
would kill him. lie finally concluded
to put an end to his existence, and, with
pistol, shot himself through the brain
on the street
We of course know nothing about the
above case, but We are sure that the best
use such Indiana politicians as DAN

would be to bore holes in their skulls
with pistol balls to let them out, instead
of offending loyalty and decency, by
blowing them out of their mouths.
