The attack on Sheridan's cavalry dsy
before yesterday. while marching from,
White House TO James River, Vas : very
determined and bloody affair. They
made what they considered ample ar.
rangemsnts to capture his guns, trains
and most OF his command.
Details Of the affair have ret yet been
received here up to the departure OF the
mail boat; bat il is known that tho enemy :
felinpon a brigade composed of the rsar
guard with great fury. and 1t 6ct threw
them into much confusion. They imms-
diately rallied to cover this movement.
and held the enemy's cavalry and infantry
in check until the balance of the CON-
mand could be brought to their support,
when general battle eusued between
our Dounted and dismounted cavalry, and
infantry and artillery on the par. Of the
enemy. Sheridan acted on the defensive
and repulsed several OF the most des-
pesate assaults that could be made. His
light artillery was brought into play and
was adnirably served. The fighting was
At abort range and grape and canister
we're used with terrible effect. At the
end Of the conflict he succeeded in beat
ing them of. though they wers greatly
superior in numbers, and resumed his
march to James River without the loss Of
gun or wagon. His killed, wounded
and missing may reach 500, among whom
are four Coloneis.
; Fort Monroe, June Is.
Sheridsn's cavalry succeeded in safely
effecting crossing Of the JAMES River
during the afternoon and night of yes.er-
day. The wagon train alone wss six miles

The health Of the troops is ia the main

EThe closest examination of
our ''dailies' during the past week
has failed to furnish US one single
item of Legislative news of any i'm
portance to our readers. The
usual dull routine of their proceed
ings, has little or nothing of In
terest and as yet, no bills have been
finally passed, Of general nature.
Until something Of the kind is done,
we shall not burden our columns with
reprints from daily papers, to which
the proceedings are important only
so far as filling up their forms.

BUSINESS CHANGE.

=
Mr.. Norman Jordan who has an
long been engaged in the grocery
business ON Second street, to the en-
tire satisfaction of his numerous Gus
toners, sold out his stock yesterday
to Mr. Henry A. Regnier, late Of
Gallipoiis, Ohio. We are assured by
those acquainted with Mr.. Regn;er
that the patrons Of this old establish
ed house will lose nothing by the
change. We are glad to hear that
Mr.. Jordan does not leave Davenport,
for the present at least-Dav. Ga
zette
1t will be seen, by the above, that
our fellow-townsman has settled in
Davenport. The citizens of that
town will have no cause to regret his
coming amongst them. Born and
raised in Gallipolis, he has always
conducted himself with strict propri-
sty and gentlemanly department.
We wish him abundant success.

HA celebrated Democrat ono

@A celebrated Democrat once
said, sin this struggle there can be
but two parties, patriots and trail
tors" Now apply the test. Take
the files of any Copperhead sheet,
in the State of Ohio or elsewhere,
and see how they support the gov
ernment. Which side do they con-
demn? Is it that of JEFF Davis or
Abraham Lincoln? Which of these
two men come in for the greatest
share of denunciation or ridicule?-
Many of them are wholly filled with
matter which would pass muster in
Richmond. We have papers right
here in Ohio, which could be pub
lished with impunity in Charleston,
and be hailed as true exponents of
Southern principles. Not word of
encouragement can you find for our
Government. Not a word of praise,
for the giant intellects, that have
carried on the affairs of this
mighty nation during the past three
years. Not word of praise in be-
half of any successful Union Gen
eral. Not a line in commendation of
our glorious army, that has carried
the stars and stripes victoriously at
all points, against a bitter and
merciless foe, and as unscrupulous
and treacherous, as cruel and vindic-
tive.
On the other hand you will find
columns and pages apologizing, or
sympathizing with the rebels. You
Will find columns lauding rebel Gen
erals, or prominent civilians In
short you will find the bitterest op-
position to every measure of the
Government and every means used
to paralyze or Illustrate its efforts,
in restoring peace and harmony to
the nation. Yet they boldly affirm
that they are in favor of the Union,
Constitution and the laws, whilst
every effort they make only tends
to strengthen the insidious foe,
which for three years past has been
aiming deadly blows at the whole
three. Readers, look at it and see
for yourselves,

Up to the hour of going to press,
we have no further news of General
Scammon, or of any who were taken
off with him. Some of Nowning's
gang have been captured. The prob
abilities are, that the General, and
his friends are now safe IN Libby
prison. 1t is to be regretted that a
spirit of animosity toward General
Scammon, should manifest itself in
some Of our contemporaries. 1t is
generally considered, even among
'roughs," as unfair to strike man
when he is down, or not in a position
to defend himself. Gen. Scammon,
in his administration of affairs on
Kanawha, may not have satisfied, in
all respects, the demands of the pub
lie. We have never known one in
command in that valley who did. 1t
is not likely there ever VIII be one,
who can please all classes. But Gen.
Scammon, if derelict in duty, has fear
fully atoned for it. The disgrace at
tending his capture, he will never re-
cover from. We are no apologists for
him, or in any particular anxious to
screen him. We submit however to
the judgement of all honorable men,
whether it is exactly in accordance
with the code, to denounce him when
a prisoner in the hands of the enemy,
in terms which they were careful to
refrain from, when he was at liberty
to defend himself. That's all.

CAMP NEAR BRANDY STATION, VAl
EER- 9Th 1894

EDITOR JoUREAL:-Dear Sir, I drop
you a few lines, to let you know how
1 am getting along in the army. 1
am IN good health. We have had
very fine weather, and good roads
this winter so far, and hope they may
continue. There has not been much
doing here lately, of any importance.
Our men crossed the Rapidan on the
9th, driving the rebels from their rifle
pits, and taking the.frst line Of breast
works. They had to ford the river
which was waist deep, and then sleep
out all night in the cold. The hight
ing was very hard all day, and for a
long time after night. Our men took
some prisoners. How many we lost,
1 do not know, but suppose we lost
heavy, for the place was very hard to
take. Our men are on this side of
the river again, and every thing is
quiet to day. We are very well fixed
in our quarters, for the winter.
Ihave been in the army nearly two
years, have seen some hard times and
hard fighting. You may think so,
when l tell you, that 1 have been in
thirty five battles, and the hardest
ever fought by the army of the Poto-
mac. There are great many men
who are enlisting in this army
They all claim New York, for their
state, as she is paying more bounty
than any other state for veterans. I
hope they will not have to draft in
old Gallia. She can do her share to-
wards putting down this rebellion.
This war must close, let the copper
heads say or do as they will. There
is a time coming, when the soldiers
will give them their dues.
l may get furlough to come home
in a short time, to see all of my old
friends. Please give this, space in
your paper, so they may know where
7 am: Yours Truly,
L. A SMITH.
