Thursday night, went out Of his way to pro-
nouncc a eulogy on Ex-Gov. Wickllffe, of Ken
lucky. He characterized him a, "that glorious
old Patriot" This would be all very well II II

gerheads with history. Mr.. Wickllhe's SYM
pathles have been with the enemies of the
Union from the beginning. II he did not open
ly espouse the cause of the rebels, 1t was not
from want OF will but from want Of courage.
He consistently opposed every measure for the
support OF the Government In Congress, And
coarsely denounced the war as "unconstitu-
tlonal," )" "barbarous" and ''inhuman." Indeed
he was the undlsguised champion Of traitors In
arms In his seat and out Of 1t, and apologlzed

Nor was this all. He headed the disunion

The enemy's cavalry was thoroughly beaten
and driven, in three successive charges, under
an artillery fire, upon and through the infantry
lines. The rebel infantry was then brought
forward to the attack, whereupon the brigade
(Schoonmakcr's) retired, after having nearly
expended their ammunition, slowly, before the
enemy's advance.
The rebel infantry being unable to reach the
Union cavalry, the enemy's mounted force was
again brought forward, but did not venture To
attack schoonmaker In the new position which
he Immediately assumed.
The action OF the Union cavalry was re-
garded by experienced officers who witnessed
II as being one Of the most gallant defensive
battles Of the campaign. This noble cavalry

trying circumstances.
From the prisoners taken we get information

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.

We observe that the New York Herald Of
yesterday repeats the following programme,
frat announced in that paper a week since,
which, II true, and 1t is certainly persisted in
with great energy, is worthy the attention Of
the Government. The following is an ex.
tract:
All the while that these mock negotiations
were going on the rebel agents were working
upon the Democratic leaders and the delegates
to Chicago. Vallandigham, now on this side
the line, and the Woods, with their reasonable
paper published In our very midst, were the
sub.agents of Clay and Sanders, who arc the
agents of slldell, who Is the accomplice of Ma
poleon. What are the resultsl The Demo
cratic party is nailed to disloyal and disunion
platform, which their candidate, Gen. McClel.
Ian, has been compelled TO disown. The Chi
cago Convention has resolved itself into rev.
olutionary body, subject to the orders OF August
Belmont. The NeUs, the organ OF the Woods,
calls upon Belmont TO summon that Conven.
tlon together to make another candidate and
make the division complete.
August Belmont Is the nephew of Slidell and
the representative Of the Rothschilds, who are
| the financial representatives Of Napoleon In
the Mexican business. Turn whatever way we
| will, therefore, we find Napoleon concealed
behind the peace platform, the peace poll
| ticians and the rebel agents; and we assure
the American people and the Administration
that they have more to fear from this fact thar
any of them yet realize. Nothing less than
Northern insurrection, and the consequent
transformation Of this republic into two gov
ernments, Is the programme Of the Emperor o
the French. The question for us is, will this
programme be successful
