had pleaded so unsuccessfully for her
fathers life. 1t was about seven O'Clock
when an Irish servant at the fort entered
the room in which Colonel Seton had been
confined since his arrest, with Il breakfast

was likewise desired to tell the priuoner
that the Rev. Mr.. Norris, of the Episcopal
Church at Lewistown, to which he be,

This night attack was the most grand and terrific
thing in the war; The moon shone bright, and al
enemy could have been seen at good musket range
The air very still, and the and reverbera-
ton of the musketry and artillery was past all con
ception. Malvern Hill was skirmish compared
with this, save in the degree of slaughter, but j
was successful. The enemy were driyeh back hal
a mile, and our tired men once more slept on thei
arms. That nights work was ended.

General Rosecrans.

The change Of commanders Of the army
of the Cumberland, says the Galena Adcer-
tlser, excites comment. No general in the
army hassshad better wishes for his success
than General Rosecrans There is no one
whose faults will be more readily overlooked
But the rule by which all military command
ers must be measured is that of Success He
must whip the enemy before he can grasp
enduring fame. In the battle of Stone Riv-
er, the first day, General Rosecrans army was
defeated, but the second day he defeated the
enemy, thus having the butt end of the bat
tie in his favor. A long period of inaction
followed, when it seemed to US that profit
able movements might have been made, but
Of this we heard little complaint-not half
as much as was made against Grant when
he was trying with immense labor and en-
ergy to flank Yicksburg. His strategy in
driving Bragg from Tullahoma and Chatta-
noogy was no doubt admirable. His march
to the latter place was both difficult and sue
cessful. But the battle OF Chicmauga, it
seemed to us from the beginning, was main
ly fought by the soldiers more than by good
generalship on the whole. The result of
the battle neither party were satisfied with.
The rebels complain of Bragg because he
did not annihilate Rosecrans, and we, of
course, are not all complacent about de-
f !, for that it doubtless was. Ever since
that battle, we should have been fearful of
the consequences of another under the same
cast of commanders on our side. With the
change Of commanders we are satisfied, and
we think the country will hereafter also be.
Grant knows how to attack, as well as how
to Defend but, he, too, must be measured
by the iron rule, and be held firmly to his
responsibility. In times of war, the sue
cessful man will be regarded as the best
man, no matter what may be our personal
likes or diSlikeS

Raising the new Troops.

The Chicago Journal makes the following
remarks, which are to the point, on the sub
ject of filling up the thinned ranks Of the
Union army. Let us Of Wisconsin do our
duty both by an overwhelming Union vote
at the polls next Tuesday, and afterwards
by manly blows on the field of battle:
The Presidents call for 800, 600 additional
volunteers, to fill up the now greatly thin
ned ranks of the National armies, East and
West, has occasioned no surprise to those
who have intelligently considered the pres
ent posture of affairs. To all such, the ne
cessity cf an early resort to some means of
sending more soldiers into the field, has,
probably, for many weeks past-at least
since the inadequate results of the late draft
disappointed the friends of that measure
being very manifest.
1t is important, nay, it is even essential to
the nations interest-to its safety and we'll
being, now and henceforth-that no parsi-
mony in using its resources shall compel
our Generals to keep on the defensive when
they should have men ara war-material, at
all necessary points, to secure the advantage
of taking the initiative to attack the enemy
y
in front.
Let no hope come to the rebels have
now lost all hope of foreign assistance, and
even of diversion of copperheads under
the lead of such men as Vallandigham and
Woodward in the North-let no hope come
to them from any hesitancy about reinforc-
ing our armies.
It is poor economy to be parsimonious in
this matter. The truest economy will al
ways provide the amplest resources in such
war as this. From the very first, even
until now, the imperative dictate of the wisest
economist could only be-Let an operuhezm-
ing array of force, at all points where it is
important to meet the rebels, be provided
and in readiness to meet them there And
though the work Of suppressing the rebel
lion now appears so far advanced, still the
same good counselor would urge-Reinforce
reinforce, wherever you have an army in
the field, and thus take security against all
possible unfavorable retrogressions Of for
tune, and the most obstinate and desperate
uses of their remaining resources by our
enemies.

Hon Eleazer Wakely.

This gentleman, the Democratic can
didate for Attorney General, made on
county visit last week, and attempted
to enlighten the understanding of ou
citizens by political harrangue agains
the Republican Union party Of the coun
try. Together with many other Repub
licans, we wendell our way to the Cour
House, and found quite respectabl,
company who had come out expecting
to heara Democratic speech, but whel
we say we were sadly disappointed, We
think we express the feelings of three
fourths of those present, large MAORI
ty of which were Republicans.
The following evening Mr.. W. was
to hold forth to the citizens Of Mineral
Point, but the Black Swan having an
appointment to sing that evening, the
immense concourse that came forward
to hear the Champion of Democracy
from fire to seren in number-consider-
ed it policy to adjourn to some future eve
ning.~
On Monday evening Mr.. w, again
undertook to speak. Accordingly to
the Tribune his speech appears to have
been in about the same strain as at our
village. AS the following from the
Tribune in regard TO the remarks of the
speaker there, covers the ground, &C.,
he went over here, we append them
Pursuant to announcement, Mr., Wake
ly, the Democratic candidate for Attor-
ney General was on hand on Monday
evening, to enlighten the people upon
political matters. The crowd was toll
erably fair in numbers, and might
have reached seventy FIVE at one time,
though but few persons heard the entire
speech. About one half ofthose nres.
ent were Republicans. We mnst con.
fess that we were disappointed in the
speaker. We looked for a good politi.
cal Speech but got only dry, pointless
school-boy harang'ue, filed with absurd
ltles ana the Usual TRADE against the ad-
mlnlstratlon and abolitionists Leav-
ing or the "nigger," and but little re-
NAMED. The speaker, however, told
one truth He said the Democratic
party was destroyed, and censured sec
essionists south and abolitionists north
for the homicide. He likened his party
to the Saviour on the cross crucifed
between two thieves. In this instance
however, the degradation Of the com
parison was on the two thieves, we i'm
agine. The resurrection part is so dis
tant that the speaker did not allude to
it. On the whole, the speech, as well
as the meeting, was failure, in point Of
interest, numbers or enthusiasm.

The Loyal Democrats

The victory which has just crowned
our exertions in Pennsylvania and Ohio
saws the Philadelphia North american,
cannot be considered as triumph of a
party. The placards Of the Union men
were everywhere headed ''No Party but
our Country" and their transparencies
were blazoned with the same legend
The most honorable positions in the
canvass were assigned to Old Line Dem
ocrats, who had joined in the general
rally around the old flag. In Ohio, the
Union candidate for Governor, John
Brough, was a lifelong Democrat, and
both in that State and Pennsylvania
every care was taken to break down the
barriers of party, and induce men of
all creeds to unite in one solid phalanx
for grand struggle for the Union.
TO the honor Of the loyal Democratic
masses, we must say that in this canvass
we received very large help from them,
many thousands coming forth openly
from the organization with which they
had affiliated, and voting with US Their
object was to sustain the Government
III the vigorous prosecution of the war,
and to consolidate public sentiment to
that end in such manner as to trample
out copperheads. They saw clearly
that the old Democratic organization
had unfortunately fallen into the hands
of the enemies Of Democratic principles
who were prostituting it to the service
of aristocracy, slavery, and all the per-
nicious ideas Of that ancient regime
against which our forefathers revolted
In the classic days of the Revolution
and set up the standard Of the Repub
lie. OF aee
Acting through conviction of duty
they therefore cast off all existing party
ties, and resolved to vote the only tick
ct identified with nationality, Republic
anism Democracy, the right of the ma
jority to govern, opposition to Slavery
and aristocracy, and a vigorous prose
cution of the war for the recovery 0
all our lost territory, and the re-estab
lishment of the Republic one and in
divisible. These independent citizen
have nobly performed their duty to thei
country by this course, and their coun
try owes them debt of gratitude for it
quite as much as though they had shout
dered their muskets and gone to fgh
the enemy in Virginia or Chattanooga
They have saved the Republic from ;
great peril and they deserve all honor
for it.
