Miscegenannn.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of late date
says
What a delightful Union this would
be-the white State of Ohio, and the
black State of South Carolina; the men,
bers Of Congress from one State white,
and from the other black: q negro Pre-
sident, and a white Vice President 1t
is not until we arrive at this blessed
condition that the heaven of Adolf
tionisn viii be reached upon this earth.
We think it IS about time this cry Of
"miscegenation, raised by the copper
heads against the Union, party vas stop
ped. No one knows better than they,
that such thing is unknown, save in
copperhead localities That leaving
the slave States out Of the question,
and turning to the EneuiFeFs own, city,
il will be found that there is bat sin;
gle locality in which it is przctised, and
IN that it IS unsafe Tor a man 70 hurTah
for LEEroIS and JoHSsoH; that in the
entire ward there is usually but about
one vote ia seven given for the Union
ticket What may be aaid Of Buck
town,' in Cincinnati, IS equally applica-
bic to TIE Five Points Of New York,
and to degraded localities everywhere
But We go further, and caution the
editor Of the Enquirer, in particular,
about raising the CRY OF nisoegenation.
Persistent charges of this nature against
q political party may call forth unPlea-
ssnt truths they may cause to be re
vealed certain facts well known to hun
dreds, about the practise Of certain men
which may be very different from their
preceding. We know ali about this. as
do hundreds Of citizens Of Cincinnati;
and while we detest bringing personal
matters before theppblie, the impudent
manner in which ISLANDERS are put forth,
concerning innocent parties, may com
pei US 70 expose the really guilty. We
therefore caution the Enquirer to cease
its falsehoo3s; cease slandering q polit
zeal party, by charging it with favoEing
tniscegenation.

The Iowa 7liIaine, the leading German
paper Of Southern iowa, believes the

We hope philosophers viii examine

The enemy seemed to understand the
intention was to advsnce our line BY occu-

shot and shell from nfled guns and NOR

had formed. Two or three vollsys of mus.
kerry were exchanged. Seon friAg over
heeastworks became heavy and regular.
Bat few men were injured. The rebels
allowed themselves too strong ct this point
to warrant an assault. The I'd and oh
