The CAMPAIGN. The late news from the
East. which will be found in today's paper,
gives evidence of the most active campaign of
the war, and still the flag of our Union is
daily being unfolded to the view of the ira
tors, farther and farther into Dixie
Grants mastery skill seems to bewilder the
rebel General, and he has been beaten in
every encounter with our brave veterans, and
compelled to fall back from his strong posi-
tions with tremendous loss of men and mu
nitions of war. While we rejoice over the
success Of the Union arms, we lament the
loss of SO many thousands of our brothers,
who have voluntarily offered up their lives in
defense of our liberties, using the only argu-
ments appreciated by the rebels. Fearful
must be the doom of the leaders of this con-
spiracy, who have caused the nation to mourn
80 many of her brave sons.

Committee, is in correspondence with the
various Committees in the counties compos

Most of the counties have already signifed
their desire to hold separate Convention,
and but one county, Solano, has objected
We trust the Union men of that county will
not oppose the plan of organization. simply
because they may have candidate who
thinks his chances for a nomination will be
Better in the State Convention. We wish
harmony to prevail, and then let the various
candidates go before the Convention with
such strength as they can muster, and take
their chances for nomination. The true
issue is who can and will do most for the
Union cause, and is not for the advancement
of anv particular individual interest.

Owing to the short notice given, but few per,

fair speaker were IN re than pleased with the
ing words of patriotism which fell from her
lips, and which elected frequent applause
from the audience. The lecture should be
heard by every Union loving woman in the
country, for it would cheer them to renewed

have suffered from the foul curse of treason,

must certainly be joking. We contend that
Shasta, the comfy seat, is the proper place
to locate the principal Offices and transact the
business of the Pittsburg mines, not only as
matter of economy, but also of ccnveni-
ence, as very frequently the county records
have to be consulted i'll regard to titles to the
mines

Our Disaster in East Tennes.

Mr.. Benjamin c. Truman, correspondent
of the New York Times, writes from Nash.
Vile q detailed account OF the defeat Of
General Gillem by General Breckenridge
in East Tennessee. After describing the
retreat Of Gillem before Breckenridge the
narrative comes down to the scene of the
disaster, and runs as follows:
"On the night Of the 18th our little army,
composed of the Eighth, Ninth, and Thir>
teenth Tennessee cavalry regiments, and a
battery of six Parrott guns, under Lieut..
Patterson, encamped at place called Pans
theirs Creek, near Morristown, forty-two
miles east of Knoxville. The exact num-
Der of men under Gillem was less than
2 400; but as be had sent to Knoxville for
reinforcements on the 10th he fully expect
ed assistance before morning. ..
"About ten o'clock Sunday night Gill,m
became aware that the picket line Of the
enemy was being urged forward, aud be
placed one third of his command, the
Eighth Tennessee. Col. Patton, on picket,
andlordered his artillery and trains to be
fully prepared for motion or action at a
moments notice. At precisely midnight a
crash took place, and at one full swoop Gil
lem's command was attacked upon both
TANKS, and his centre p'erc. d and broken
According to dispatches received in this
city by the Governor, Adjutsnt General,
and myself, giving full details of the terri.
BILE attack, the scene which immediately
ensued beggars description. Dukes brig
ade advanced in front, AMI fired a volley
into the ranks of the Eighth Tennessee,
nearly all the horses of which were new,
producing the widest panic imaginable
simultaneously portions of Naughn's brig
ade made desperate attacks upon the right
and left, and for more than an hour jubi
lee Of death and fury regned supreme, DIES
pite the efforts Of Colonies Myerton and
Miller to secure its abatement. At this
juncture almost the entire command was
surrounded, and after a series Of hand to-
hand encounters the rebels had succeeded
40 capturing our entire artillery.
Now the excitement and disorder was
at its height. The Eighth Tennessee had
broken, and what, with new and unman
ageable horses and panic>stficken riders,
might not he expected They dashed into
the ranks OF the Thirteenth Tennessee,
which up 10 the present time had withstood
the shock with heroic equanimity. But
now the Thirteenth gave way. and both
regiments fled in great Confusion, dissent

the men Of the Ninth Tennessee, who ioin-
e1 in the carnival Of disorder Gen. Gill,m's
presence was Of no avail, sud all efforts of
himself and aids to check the calsmitous
disorder were fruitless.

TURNING A PASSENGER OUT OF A CAR
On Tuesday last case was tried in the Su
perior Court at Montreal, in which the par
ties were Mr.. Timothy Cunningham vs.the
Grand Trunk Railroad Company. Mr.. Cum
ningham, a merchant of Upper Canada, had
purchased ticket to 60 to Montreal and
return home. Shortly after leaving the
latter city, on his return homo, he was
asked by the Conductor for his ticket
The ticket was produced, which was dated
October 6, and On it was written, "gosd fol-
this day and tomorrow" Mr.. Cunning
ham did not return until the 9th, one day
after the specified time and the Con iuctor
would not allow him to proceed unless he
paid the full fare, which he declined to do,
and was expelled from the car; hence the
suit. The jury gave verdict for the
plaintiff; damages, one hundred dollars

Now, BUTLER is superserviceable tool in

Attorney Generalship. These Massachu
