THE DEMOCRACY.

The Fremont party has assumed the
name Of Radical Democracy. We
suppose we shall have an edition of
the Conservative Democracy, the
"War Democracy" the peace Dem
ocracy," and the "Umon Democracy"
We hope the discordant elements OF
the defunct Buchanan Democracy will
array themselves in this campaign just
to suit themselves. 1t makes very lit
tle'difference to the great Union Party
whether Democracy is divided into
four divisions or organized into sin
gle corps--the result will be the same.
The party that, during this dark hour
of National trial, has arrayed itself
under the control of such men as Val.
landigham, Voorhees,, Medary, Rich
ardson, the Woods, Seymours, and
Brooks, against the Government in th'
prosecution of this war, will find th'
popular feeling of the great loyal heart
so thoroughly aroused against it, tha
it will matter little whether it clothe,
itself in the armor and panoply of war
or assumes the mild habiiments o
peace-its fate is sealed. its doom il
certain.

RESOLUTIONS recommending an armistiso
for ninety days, and an effort for peace, have
been introduced into the Confederate Con-
gress.-T Gazette.
Why did not the editor inform his
readers that the proposition for peace
was on the basis of separation, and
that even such proposition was voted
down, or tabled, by vote of 81 to % ?
That would not have suited his garbling
propensity, or answered the purpose of
deceiving his readers.
He also quotes gold in New York at
1872, when it sold on the day his paper
went to press wednesday, at 1877 !;
but, then, this is about as near the truth
as he generally gets-within five of it.

then Judge the leaders by that standard
No one has questioned whether Gen. Butler
has succeeded in fulfilling his instructions,
but many have found fault because he has
not done what they wish him to do.
The instructions given to Gen Butler for
the guidance of the movement up the James
River, were in substance:
lst. To land at a point above Fort
Powhatan and march for City Point, or
above, 30 as to secure base for supplies ON
James River.
Cd. To demonstrate toward Richmond. and
if possible destroy the Petersburg and Rich.
mond Railroad, but to do nothing that would
endanger his position on the river.
1t was understood that, when a landing
had been effected and the force should be
ready to move forward, re-enforcements
were to be sent to enable Gen. Butler to push
strongly toward Richmond
Now let us examine into what has been
done. Gen. Butler gathered an expedition
OF thirty lOU,UNUJ 10 IOrty lfU,UttUl Thousand
men at Yorktown and Gloucester Point.
The expedition was admirably fitted out and
ready to move promptly at the specified timo.
The Rebels, through the devices of Gen,
Butler, were completely blinded as to the
destination of the force.

nor do we believe he is likely to.
GLORIOUS NEWS FROM VIRGINIA.
Just as we go to press we hear rumor
that intelligence has been received that Gen.
Lee has had general fight, and completely
routed Grants grand army, driving him
across the Rappahannock and capturing 49,
900 prisoners. We hope this may be con.
frmed.

wrote US letter to this place as follows:
WELDON, May IL, 1864.
The conductor on the government train
from Stony Creek to Castor to-day reports
that Beauregard has driven the Yankees to
their gunboats around Petersburg, and that
he had sunk six Of the enemy's gunboats.
He says he had read it in the Express be-
fore leaving Stony Greek, and the conduc-
tor of the train from Petersburg to Stony
Creek told him such were the reliable facts.

The Editor of the ST. Clairsville Ga
zette, in his last issue of that extensive
ly circulated, awfully influential, mighty
to-puU-down journal, pronounces the
following anathema against the Pres
bytsrian Church. If this editor is as
influential as he thinks lie is, we see no
other remedy for the Church but SIM
ply to wind up business and close its
doors. The Gazette says
e The Old School Presbyterian Assembly in
session at Newark, New Jersey, on Friday
last, after an exciting discussion on the re-
port Of the committee on the subject Of
slavery. adopted the report, and the Old
School Assembly thus formally took ground
against slavery and entered the political
arena. Thus have the representatives OF
that once National Church prostituted their
calling and dragged down from its high mis-.
sion Of saving souls to God, this proud old
Church to wallow in the political cess. pools

They will surely meet their reward.
