Rebellion Among the Copper
faAahS

The bill of rights of every Calhoun
Peace Democrat contains, theoretically at
least, q provision that every man shall
tnlnk as ne pleases, say what he pleases,
ana act as ne pleases. The sovereignty
Oh the individual Is made paramount to
the demands OF society, and laws of Gov
ernment. Reduced to its final ANALYSIS.
that is the result of the premises from
which these men reason They can have
no cause of complaint, therefore, when
any portion of their number rebel against
the action of the majority, and set up for
themselves. This is precisely what the
Peace Democracy of Tazewell county, Ill,
have done, and We are somewhat surpris-
ed to find such journals as the Chicago
Times censuring their action. The De-
mocracy Of Tazewell deny the authority
of the Democratic National Committee
to postpone the time of holding the Dem
ocratic Convention" and thereupon call
upon all the Democratic delegates of the
State and Northwest particularly to meet
IN Convention in Chicago on the 4thinst..
to nominate candidates for the Presiden-
cy, Sc -rl.r-,ll-4r -
These yeomanry of Tazewell, evidently
regard the postponement and the reasons
assigned for it as disgracsfuL They are
ashamed of their conferees who confssses
to be so absolutely wanting in principle
that they find themselves under the ne
eessity Of waiting upon events to inform
them what principles they had better
adopt. They evidently labor under the
delosion that the Democratic party has
certain fixed and immutable principles,
not to be modified by events, but By
which it will square events themselves.
Tazewen county must be in the back
woods, and poorly informed of the high
and lofty position to which modern De
moeracy has arrived What is the use Of
principles to Democrat? Why not wait
for events to supply the utter emptiness
of those who lead the advance of this raid
upon Federal Offices and treasure? If
JEFF. Davis, Howell Cobb, Robert Foombs.
Floyd, Yancey & Co., were still in COM
mand of the now bewildered rabble, we
should see none of the confusion and dis

of National Conventions on account of
want of principles, and no waiting for
events to supply the moral and intellect

but were repulsed by the gunboats. On
/ the 23d we crossed the Chickahominy at
Jones' Bridge, where a small body of col
ored infantry, who had joined us at White
House, had sharp skirmish with the
rebels, driving them from their breast
works and furnishing them severely
We had in our charge the whole train of
wagons belonging to General Grants
army
On the 9th the train had reached the
vicinity of Charles City Court House, and
General Gregg's Division, with the excep-
ton Of two regiments, was stationed at
Ladd's Farm, about four miles from the
Court House. to guard the flank till the
train reached the river.
The rebels made repeated efforts to
break our lines, during the day, but were
invariably repulsed till about half past
four o'clock in the afternoon, when. hay-
ing brought up large body of infantry,
they made q desperate and final effort.
Our troops were on the point of withdraw
ing. our line having been called in at
some points, and our dismounted men
having mostly taken their horses when
the attack was made. Against force
three times as great as our own, dismount-
ed in the woods, and we on horses in the
open field, we fought for over an hour,
till overborne by weight of numbers
when we were forced back in disorder
We brought off all our cannons, though
the rebel infantry, charging with fixed
bayonets, made desperate efforts to take
them '
The division lost some three hundred
and seventy men in killed, wounded and
missing. The 9th Ohio were the last on
the field, and suffered severely Our loss
was four killed, thirty wounded and ten
missing. We also had upward of a hun
dred horses killed and wounded. Among
those whom we count as killed was Ad-
jutant II. NJ Baldwin, whom we were
forced to leave. we think mortally wound
ed, in the hands of the enemy. He was
one of our bravest officers. and young
man of great promise. Wemade stand
at Charles City Court House. but the en-
emy did not pursue us to that point
Next morning we resumed our march to
the James river, where we now are wait
ing to cross. Henceforth our field of &C
tion will be south of that stream.

Who Is GeneraI Custer.

This General greatly distinguished
himself in the recent successful expedi-
ton under General Sheridan. Here is q
description of his personal appearance
-"He is young man-certsinlY not
over twenty-five years of sge-but as
brave a veteran of q thousand fights
He stands nearly six feet in his stock
ings, of fair complexion, with ''golden
locks hanging over his shoulders; at
least such was his custom before he en-
tered on the present campaign; but now
he is in fighting trim. He had a sharp
blue eye, very slight impediment in
his speech, and dresses in somewhat of
the old cavalier style--blaek velvet jack
ct, with blue shirt collar turned over the
same, his Brigadier's star being worked
in each corner. He wears slouched hat
with star in front, and red scarf
cravat around his neck. Whenever he
orders charge he always commands in
person, and bursts upon the enemy with
a yell equal to that of any of the Rocky
Mountain aborigines"

Casualties I'm Late Engagements-PrOs
BON pects-

EDS. CHRoSIcLE:-The Army of the Cum
berland is still a moving, working mass of
men, full of energy, patriotism and fight.
With Forrest. Wheeler and Morgan in our
rear, and Johnston in front, we manage
to sustain grave equilibrium, eating,
drinking, sleeping and making merry at
uncertain intervals, and in the interim
paying our compliments to the foe as ad-
vantage or favorable circumstances offer.
If we are many times successful, we are
as often sorrowing over the graves of COM
rades slain; and while we thank God for
victory. we grieve that it is the price of
blood; and our joy in anticipation of a
bright future,-the reward for all their
toll and suffering,-is mingled with bitter
tears in remembrance of the noble dead.
Among the losses lately sustained by
our regiment, | append the following, as
being of special interest to the readers of
the Chronicle
1t. Freeman Collins, of Ravenna, killed
by the bursting of shell on the 18th
inst, while the regiment was going into
position near the base of Kinesaw Noun
tain.
During a reconnaissance on the 23d inst,
the 125th was ordered to support the Skin
mish line. Out of one hundred men en-
gagged, Capt. Sterling Manchester, of Ash
tabula, Nathan B. Hatch and Robert j.
Rice, of Southington, were killed.
Corporal VIM. H. Lee, of Hartford, was
wounded in right hand, severely; Geroge
Murdock, of Kinsman, in head, severely:
Emory Gilmore, Williamsfeld, thigh, Sc
verely; Wallace Henry, Kinsman, head,
slight; Samuel Fem, Hartford, right side,
slight. All of the above, except Capt.
Manchester, belonged to Company B.
Additional wounded, in late engage
ments, are ...
Company C.-Corporal Zalmon Morris,
Greene, right shoulder, slight; Mark
Shields, face, severe; VIM. H. Watkins,
Hartford, thigh, severe.
Company B.-Warren II. Fishel, South
ington, side, slight; Wesley C. Fishel,
Southington, head, slight; James Burnett,
Brookfeld, left thigh, flesh; John King,
Gustavus, right hand, slight.
We were informed to-day informed of
the death of Jesse Sample, of liberty, in
Hospital at Chattanooga, from a wound
received at the battle of Rocky Face
Ridge.
Since the opening of this campaign, the
125th has lost one hundred and forty-nine
men, in action, twenty-four of which have
been killed. The loss of the entire army
has not been proportionately great, but
has been severe. The general health is
good. We have plenty of rations, and
are well clothed. The determination to
push forward to victory is in no way
abated. With the memory of the dead
to inspire the living, this army acknowl-
edge no defeat, short of utter destruction,
and can be satisfied with no victory short
of complete success. Respectfully.

THE uNRErURNING BRAVE.
BY AvAxELLK |. HOLMES,

Where the proud Ohio flashes
Her bright biIlows tipped with gold.
Where the wild Niagara dashes
O'er the rough rocks gray and old
BY the Mississippi's rushes,
By the broad Potomae's flood;
Where the Sacramento gushes
From the mountain solitude:
By each darkly- winding river.
By each silver smiling wave.
Eyes grow dim and pale lips culver
For the unreturning brave.
Where New England's lofty mountains
Lift their faces TO the sky.
Where the southern sunlit fountains
In their placid beauty lie:
Where the green leaves dance and simmer
In the sunlight's golden sheen:
Where the bright ears brightly glimmer
The yellow. rustling husks between;
Where the skies are ever glowing;
Where the north pine-forests wave.
Hearts are aching, tears are flowing.
For the unreturning brave.
Where the cottage lamp is cleaning;
Where the cabin hearth is bright;
Where the chandelier is streaming
Ger proud halls its mellow light:
In the city 3 stately splendor,
In the peaceful village home,
By the hearth-light soft and tender.
In the hovePs cherries gloom;
Where the southern waters glisten,
Where the northern te1npests rave,
Orphans watch and widows listen
For the unreturning brave.
Wives and sisters, daughters. mothers,
Waiting sadly all in vain,
For fathers, husbands, sons and brothers,
-.e Who viii ne'er return Rgainl
Waiting, watching. praying. weeping.
Longing. hoping. sad and sore
While all the world in dreams is sleeping.
For those who are coming never more;
For those who sleep unknown and lOwly
In the soldiers nameless grave.
Watching with vigil holy
For the unreturEing bravel
Father. We are weak and weary
With a weight Of woe untold
All is dark, and sad, and dreary,
In this land so bright of odd
Let thy hand uphold our banner,
Bear IL onward for the right!
Be our shield in time Of danger,
Guile US safely through the fghti
Take our gallant boys and lead them:
II they fall where banners wave,
We will give to Thee and Freedom
Our returning brave.

The Navy Department has received the
following dispatch:
q. s. STEAMER KEARsAGE,
June 20, P. N.
SIR-l have the honor to inform the
Department that the day subsequent to
the arrival of the Kearsage off this port,
on the 18th inst, received a note from
Capt. Semmes stating that the Kearsage
would not depart, as he intended to fight
her, and would not delay her but day or
two. According to this note, the Ala
bama left the port of Cherbourg this morn
ing at about half past nine o'clock. At
lO-2O a. m, we discovered her steaming
towards us. Fearing the question of ju-
risdiction might arise, we steamed to lea
ward until a distance of six or seven
miles was obtained from the Cherbourg
break water, when we rounded to and
commenced steaming for the Alabama
As we approached her within 700
yards, she opened fire, we receiving two
or three broadsides before shot was re-
turned. The action continued, the re-
spectiye steamers making a circle round
and round, at distance of about 900
yards from each other. At the expiration
down in about 20 minutes afterwards, and
carrying many persons with her.
1t affords me great satisfaction TO an
nounce that all did their duty, exhibiting
degree of coolness which gave promise
at the outset of certain victory.

fully, your obedient servant,

Hon. Gideon Welles, Capt.
Sec'y of Navy.
The piratical Alabama. commanded by
the notorious Semmes, was British ship
