left her, and supposing he was dead, on the lapse
Of seven years she married widower with ,lIrcc
children. TO this number in her second mar
ricd life she added five, making her whole fam
ily, including the child by her first husband,
nine in all. Some time since tho second hus-
band died, and she was left to Struggle with her
large family To her great surprise, at the be-
ginning of the present year her first husband
made his appearance at Liverpool. During his
thirty years absence he had prospered in Aus

The Party of Purity.

A new revolution has just come to Light
The party that stole more in tile first year of
their reign, than was expended during the whole
of Mr. Buehanan's Administration, seem to be
keeping up their reputation. The city has been
full of strange rumors for n few days past, in
relation to Mr.. Deputy Collector Henry B.
Stanton, one of the attaches of the Tribune
Mr.. Stanton is well known as prominent
Abolition politician, and Deputy Collcctorship
was created especially for him. The duties ap-
pertaining to it were the business of shipping
goods to Matamoras and ports in the southern

The Sunday AAos says:-
'Persons who wishto ship merchandise South
are obliged to give heavy bonds that the goods
shall not run the blockade, and that they are
not intended to be sold in any manner to the

anime the surcties, accept the bonds whcn prop
cry executed, and cancel them when sufficient
evidence was produced that the goods had reached
their legal destination. 81 ,ss
1t seems that Mr.. Stanton has been suspend

CCPPERHEAD NoMIN ATIoNs.-We learn from
the Milwaukee Nea0s that the Copperheads of
this county have made the following nomina-
tons
For Senator--DUDLEY CAss, of Salem.
For Assemblyman-DR A. FAIR, of kenosha.
For Supt.-F. B. BowKER, of Salem.
For Supervisors-J w. MERRILL, WIN. LYNCH
and JOHN B. BRowER.
The Convention was held on Tuesday last,
and we made an effort to get the proceedings
or at least tie result for our last paper but did
not succeed We were informed that H. L..
Bassett. was nominated for Senator and l. w.
! Webster, for Assemblyman, but could not tell
whether our information was correct or not.
We have since heard that those were the NOM
nations made by the Convention, but that the
ticket was subsequently remodelled i'll it's pres
ent shape.
The name Of Dr. A. Farr, we understand,
was placed upon the ticket without his knowl-
edge or consent. The DR.. is absent from town
and will le probably for the next three weeks.
We don't believe he has any sympathy with
the Vallandigham peace faction Of the Democ-
racy, or that he will allow his name to run on
the Palmer ticket We know that he has not
heretofore endorsed the Ryan Address or the
Milwa ukee Resolutions which go to make up
the copperhead platform.
We have nothing to say personally against
person on the ticket If they endorse the
Copperhead platform, no loyal Democrat even
can vote for them and if they profess not to
endorse it, but suffer their names to go upon
the Palmer State ticket, every candidate up
on which has publicly endorsed the platform
then work for their own ticket, they in effect
endorse and labor for the success of the treas
enable principles enuncated i'll that platform.
| We shall make no comparisons, for COM
parsons are said to be odious, but we will
suggest that the men placed upon the Union
ticket are eminentIy worthy of the support Of
all loyaJ men in the county, whatever may
have been their party predictions hitherto.
While the Richmond Enquirer the Official
organ of jeff. Davis, is urging the rebel Gen
erals and soldiers in the field to greater efforts
and more desperate fighting on the express
ground that Union defeat just now would
aid the election of VaIlandigham the convict
ed traitor, Wisconsin copperhead democr acy
is also doing what it can, by sympathy, reso-
lutions and moral aid, for the election Of the
same traitor, .Vallandigham. Citizens Of Wis
consin, while over 80, 900 of your sons, broth
ers and friends are in the field fighting this
gigantic rebellion, will you JUN hands with
the rebels in aiding the election of Vallandig

1t appears from semi-official statement
that there is no truth in the report that Gen.
Burnside recently rendered his resignation in
consequence of personal grievances He re
quested if compatible with the public inter
est, and in view of the completion of his cam
paign in Tennessee, that he be permitted to
resign, to attend to his private business, which
needed his personal attention. The President
promptly replied, complimenting Gen. Burn
side upon his success in Ohio, kentucky and
Tennessee, and requesting him not to resign,
but to remain in the field with his present
command-the Army of the Ohio General
Burnside responded that if the public service
required his presence i'll the field he would sac
rihce his private interest and comply with the
Presidents request. He accordingly remains
in the field at the head of his army.-Wash-

We are still without definite news of the
late Battles in Georgia, by the LIST Wisconsin
Unfit or 1st Wis. Cav. in both of which regi
ments Kenosha city and county are largely
represented.
We have heard nothing direct from Capt
McVEAN further than that he was wounded
seriously in the knee. There is a rumor, We
know not how reliable, that he would have t.
suffer amputation. We hope this is not the
case.
Our old friend L. Dedemer received let
ter from his son a member of Co. f, Monday
written since the battle, but he says nothing
Of any casualties, except the death of Lieut.
Nickles He gives quite full account of the
battles.
The following article on the present Situa-
ton with Rosecrans we take from the Chica-
go Tribune of yesterday.
From our army at Chattanooga we have
litt!etoindicate the Immediate resumption Of
activity. 1t is doubtless true that both ar
mics have suffered too severely in the recent
battles, to invite new encounter. Rosecrans
will not of his own accord seek the enemy,
until repair of damages and the receipt of re-
Inducements restore tone and strength to his
army. This will require time. The expert
ence Of the country in the long intervals of
waiting that have succeeded all our great bat
ties, should be their preparation now for the in
evitable ebb tide of news. The most that
can be expected of Gen. Rosecrans for some
weeks, will be the holding of Chattanooga Sc
curely, the protection of his lines of communi-
cation, and the gradual restoration of his shat
tered regiments and divisions to fighting trim.
Great gaps are to be filled, commanders of all
grades brought forward, and all this requires
time. To proceed without it, is without the
range of precedent, if within theiextreme scope
of possibility.
On the other hand Bragg will not attack
Rosecrans in hurry. He did it once, and
that with his whole army in fine fighting con-
dition. He failed in that attempt. He is not
in position to make second essay of the kind.
The rebel army is even worse used than our
own, not to deny to them what is always the
accredited need of victory, the possession of
the actual battle field. Latest official advices
show Rosecrans still in strong possession of
the position he occupied Immediately after the
battle, and declares his ability to hold them
against all corners. He is being reinforced
strongly. The courage and spirit Of his men
is undaunted.

500, 900 effective stand of arms. The num-
Der is rapidly increasing, the Springfield arm
DRY alone turning out $4,000 rifled muskets
every month Under the contract made by
Secretary Cameron, nearly two years ago. by
private parties, for 100000 rifled arms, only
20, 900 have as yet been delivered to the Gov
eminent.
The statement going the rounds Of the press,
that Is, 900 men were absent without leave
from the Army of the Potomac or, in other
words had deserted. From figures in the Pro
vost- Marshal Generals Office, it is accertained
that on the first of July, 1863, there were but
92, 789 deserters from all the armies in the
field. Since the establishment of the Bureau
of Deserters, over $4,000 of these skulkers
have been returned to their regiments.

MAT. H. CARPENTER Esq, in a letter to the
Milwaukee Meas the other day,propounded the
following questions to the editors Of that sheet:
''Now, Messrs Lyon & Paul, ARE you in favor
of the war? Are you not both bitterly opposed
to it? Has your paper ever contained word
of encouragement, or suggested hope to the
government? Have you not uniformly pub
lished every discouraging fact or theory that
has come to light, against enlistnents and the
prosecution of this war? Have you not over
and over again predicted the impossibility of
the governments putting down the rebellion?
Would you, if in your power,put down the re-
bellion by force, aud against the arishes Of the
rebels f?
These are questions should not presume to
ask, if you were not slightly given to examin-
ing the opinions of your friends, lnyselfinclud-
ed.''
The editors replied that these were ''side
issues, and that they did not propose to be
diverted from the discussion ofth chief ques-
tions Of the present canvass.
