give learn from the Argus that the wife
of Mr.. L. Files OF Gorham, died last week I'M
der circumstances both strange and sad. Mrs.
Files for several weeks past has had a special
religious interest, and after several days APP
parently experienced hope. The next day
after her friends rejoiced in her conversion, she
became perfectly insane, requiring three or
four persons to hold her. After continuing
thus for nearly two days she sank into deep
sleep, from which it proved impossible to
arouse her. She continued in this stupor some
days, when she died.
SB-Mr. Anthony Davenport, formerly OF
this city, now of Newburyport, has recently
sustained severe domestic affliction in the
sudden and melancholy death of his youngest
son, Albert w. Davenport, of Co. b, 35th
Massachusetts Regiment. 1t appears, says
the Newburyport Herald, that he was on
picket duty Wednesday night, last week, on
the banks of the Rappahannock, the tide
swollen and angry from the late rains, when
he slipped from the steep side into the stream
and was drowned. Young Davenport was 81
years old, and one of the brightest, smartest,
bravest and most moral young men that has
gone to the war from Newburyport. He was
in several hard fought battles,-at South
Mountain, Antietam, and Fredericksburg,-in
all which he bore himself brayely and without
finching. He leaves a brother in the 23d
Massachusetts,, in North Carolina, and another
in the 4sth Massachusetts, on his way TO New
Orleans. The afflicted family will have the
sympathies of their numerous friends in this
city.

their defeat. We will neither rebel nor

people may have better sense in year

ture upon all sorts Of prauks with him.
Meanwhile, Meade is unable to tell
where Lees army is, or what it is about,
or what is intended. Al the same time
the rebels are tearing up railroads, burn
ing the ties and destroying his tranSpor'
tation almost unmolested, aud doil z just
about as they please on the Rappahun-
mock, aud are probably pushing towards
Harper's Ferry to invade Maryland once
more. But neither the strength nor po,
sition of Lees army is known to those
wiseacres 'yclept military authorities"
at Washington; some of whom conje;-
ture that Lee intends another invasion
Of the North, others that he is retiring
to the Rapidan,s aud Others agair that
he is simply amusing and intimidating
Meade while he sends reinforcements to
Bragg. The sum of all this is that they
know nothing about it. All this is II
burning shame to the commanders of
the Potomac Army.
And accompanying all this exhibition
OF weakness in that quarter, comes the
statement that Rosecrans is removed
from the command of the Army of the
Cumberland. This is inexpicable.
There is no other solution of this pro.
cedure than that the weak Generals are
to be retained and the energetic ones
removed. And this is so utterly re.
pugnant to common sense that we can
hardly credit the statement, unless it be
that RoSecrans is to be taken from the
Cumberland and put in command of the
Potomac army in place of Meade. And
even this we would deem exceedingly
unwse, Better remove Gen. Halleck,
and put better man in his place. The
whole business bears an exceedingly dis
coaraging aspect.
A later aiisnatch announces that Gen.
eral Grant iec. Louisville yesterday

mand of the armies of the Cumberland

Rulers lnstead Of Servants.

AS the smoke and fog clears away, it
is evident that the Democratic party
have been defeated in Ohio on their
State ticket by the most uuscrupulous
means ever used by any set of men to
retain power
Both the National and State ADMIN
istrations, with all the means that the
handling Of hundreds of millions Of dol.
lars of paper money could give, were
actively arrayed against US, and the pub.
lie servants used this money Of the peo-
ple's to promote their own purposes, and
to prevent the ballot.boxes from rebuk'
ing them for their maladministration oil
the government, State and National.
A defeat to them in Ohio and Penn.
sylvania would have shortened the war,
restored the Old Union, and lost the
patty in power their next Presidency.
That tells the whole story. The coun.
try must now further be devastated, ply.
sically ard financially, to enable these
bad men to perpetuate their ascendancy
as rulers instead Of as servants Of tht
people.

The following is from the Louisville
Democrat Of the l4th inst. 1t needs no
comment; the bare statement Of such an
act Of tyranny should mako the cheek
of every Ohio citizen mantle with shame
and indignation;
Yesterday being the day Of the elec'
tion Of Governor Of Ohio, the vote oI
the Ohio soldiers stationed in this city
was taken. There were two polls open
ed, one at Exchange barracks aud the
other at Camp Joe Holt. We unde;

The Mission OF the Democratic
Party.

The Cincinnati Enquirer lays down
the following planks for the Democratic
party to stand on:
lst. That the Democracy can never
come into power as war party.
3D. That war is utterly opposed to
the Continuance of Republican institu'
tions.
Sd. That the Republicans are entitled
10 all the glory and all the dscredit OF
this war.
4th. That the Democracy believe in
Mr.. Vallandigham's views respecting the
war.
5th. That the Convention that nomi.
mated him was for peace.
We take this occasion to say that the
Democratic party never neither while he
was in Congress nor since, endorsed
Mr. Vallandgham's views on the war
Not single Democratic Congressman
from Ohio voted with him; and Of the
100 Democratic papers in Ohio, not one
ever endorsed his votes aud speeches as
IN entirety.
Like John A. Bingham, he is too
radical on the subject, and the Democ'
racy nominated and supported him be-
cause they couldn't help it. That wa:
all; ard now, having vindicaled onl
principles and rebuked the men in pow
er for striking down free speech, let us
drop Mr.. ValIandigham and hi, views
as they have nothing to do with the
great mission of the Democratic party
which is to crush the rebellion, by peace
if possible, by war If necessary, and re-
store the Uuon, preserve the Constitu
and uphold tho laws of the country.
