The ereat Butt,rnut Mss. Tallure.

The Union meeting of last Friday
seems larger by contrast with the
Butternut failure on Saturday. "Them
asses" as Punch calls the masses, were
demoralized and despondcnt, and
didn't have the heart to demonstrate
There were barely enough people in
town TO fill the Court House, where
somebody from some place, spoke in a
trance, opening his eyes and starting
up whenever the Butternut throat got
off one of its characteristic yells.-
There was no procession, no tags, no
enthusiasm, and notorious fizzlo.
All of which is respectfully submit-
ted as indicating party without
spirit, but yet with body and mechan-
ical drill enough to poll considerable
vote at an election, Not enough, how
ever, to more than amuse the friends
of Mr.. Lipcoln, whose election is fore
ordained. '.'l -

ed. After keeping up skirmish across the
open field for about an hour, the enemy ad-
vanced on US in overwhelming numbers,
estimated at 10000 Gen. Ransom got all
the available troops to the front, and open
ed on them. The enemy lost heavily, but
advanced steadily. Some of our cavalry
gave way, and our artillery also fell back in
few moments. The enemy pressed US SO
closely, and the panic among our cavalry
so dernoraliziDg, that the retreat became a
rout. Gen. Ransom did all in his power to
rally the men, but finding it impossible, he
made every effort. to. save the artillery.
While endeavoring to get the Chicago Mer-
camille Battery off safely, he was seriously
wounded in the leg, and Capt. Dickey, his
Adjutant, was instantly killed. Our loss is
probably 1000. The Mercantile Battery
lost all its guns. While the 4th division
was falling back in disorder, the Sd divis-
ion, numbering 1900 men. came up and
was Immediately routed. Finally the 10Th
Army Corps, with 1000 men, came up,
and forming in line, checked the enemy,
and held them until we got all the trains OF
except that of the cavalry. The whole ar
my is now falling back to this place, where
it must await reorganization before proceed

In the first days fight, of whole division

were the chief enactors of the Senatorial
swindle last winter. They seem to have
forgotten that at that time they only sneer-
ed at those who talked of fairness The
gag rule was applied. to all who opposed
them. In The joint session few men were
allowed to speak, and then one of their chief
fdglers cut off all debate by moving the
previous question, which was sustained, and

if this amounts to nothing, there beno
harm in it. We have nothing to expect
from outsiders, and if we do not do the
work ourselves it will go undone. Next
winter every county in the Valley should
go to the Legislature united, asking that
this road9be put on the same footing with
the Union Pacific road. It is Of national
importance, and we should have the 'aid OF
the Government to construct it.
There is Senator to elect next winter,
and now is the time for US to strike. We
must not be put off with mere promises, as
we have been heretofore All we want, to
accomplish what we ask, is to be united
Let the people prepare to act, and act in
unison.
