wortI, Remembering.

Hon II. E. Fcnton, the Union candidate for
Governor of New York, says in his acceptance
letter:
We want peace without dishonor And here
let me say friends, that there has been no time
since the war began, but that peace could have
been secured by the simple and honorable pro-
cess of the rebels laying down their arms and
returning to their homes, peaceful and wabi-
ding citizens under the Constitution and the
laws. Nor will there be any twenty four hours
daring the confluence of this war, but that
the country can have peace, if the rebels will
cease to fight menace and disturb, aud return
to their allegiance. The loyal people will have
no peace which is produced by shaking hands
with rebels in arms oyer the bodies -four brave
defenders who have fallen in the service, but
upon honorable terms it would be hailed with
delight

THREE sUCCRSSFI11' ExPEDITIoNs.

A letter from Baton Rouge, dated Sept 26
in the New Orleans Era, says: ~ H-'a
"The rebels have been most effectnally pun
| shed for their recent audacity in gobbing pick
cts and annoying US at this point. As far back
| as Friday the 10th, a cavalry expedition made
of detachments of the first Texas, First Louisi-
ana, and Second New 7 ork regiments accom-
panied bysa section of Minis battery, the whole
commanded by Colonel E. J. Davis, started out
on hunt for the enemy
"a small force was encountered not far from
| the picket lire, but they beat rapid retreat
| At dark we again came mp with them-strongly
posted this time-and again they were driven
before us, with pretty severe loss. A short halt
ensued when our forces again started, direct for
Simsport, on the sAtchafalaya, which place we
soon reached, and before day break Colonel Da-
| Wis had made his preparations for surprise Of
the unsuspecting rebs.
aJust as day was breaking, the artillery open
ed a rapid FIRE with shells upon the enemy's
camp, which was Oh the opposite side of the riv-
er, and which brought the rebels to their feet
in confusion and distnay. AT This time their
| fright was increased by the vollies which were
poured in among them from The carbines and
muskets of the mounted men. The enemy fled
in the widest confusion, but not before num-
Der had been killed aud wounded.
sour victory might have been made more COM
pieOe, Dut IL was known that Il much larger
body of the enemy was in the neighbOrhoOd,
and it would have been rash to have crossed the
river. The expedition then returned to Nor
gauzia. efa aiz7tr iles
"On the 18th, another fight took place Two
Illinois infantry regiments, section of Minis
battery, under Major Titquair, Of the Illinois
One Hundred and Thrtieth attacked herebels
at Morgsns Ferry, ON the Atchafalaya The
contending fOrcecs were on opposite side of the
river the rebels well located, and with artillery
in position. After pretty severe struggle the
enemy were dislodged aud retreated. We cap
tured twenty, from whom it was aScertained
that they lost about seventy killed and wound
ed. Our casualties were not half the number,
The fight took place on Morgan's plantation,
the owner of which is the brother of the defunct
raider of that name. aserf1
"Another successful expedition has also re-
turned Lieut. Col. A. L. Gurney Second
New York cavalry, with detachmeDts of his own
ing extraordinary difficulties, completely sur
chief Radcliff, capturing one piece of artillery,
thirteen prisoners, fifteen horses small arms,
stores, and a large, mail Radcliffs wife was
found in the camp. The camp was situated on
Bayou Alabama, and the guerillas were so con-
fident that their hiding-place was unknown that
they neglected to throw out pickets, and some
of them who were in bathing had not time to get
out before our boys were upon them.
General Eayor determined to severely pun
ish the rebels and he has succeeded Each ex-
pedition was conducted with skill deserving of
recognition by the general commanding"

unexpected to us, and we can account for it in
no other way than that the Union voters failed

gone into the army. If York, Green Greek,
