expedition landed at Smithfeld. 1t consisted
of ninety men with one howitzer, under COM
mand Of Capt. Lee. When five miles beyond
Smithfield they encountered a rebel force, 200
strong, with two pieces of artillery, routing
them, bat receiving false information of q
heavy force between them aud Chickitick they
returned to Smthfield and sent for the armed
transport Smith Briggs, which, owing to fog,
did not arrive until half past twelve.

several furious attacks and charges from the
enemy until the Smith Briggs arrived. The

heavy losss. They sent three flags of truce
demanding a surrender, all of which Capt.
Lee refused.
On the arrival Of the Smith Briggs our
troops retreated on board, when the enemy
opened a fire Of artillery on them. The chief
engineer was wounded and the second engn-
eer is missing. This prevented the boat from
working of, and finally ball struck her boil
er aud she was disabled. Capt Lee and
portion Of his men escaped by swimming
across the river. The others were captured.
among them Capt. Rowe, who was wounded.
Our loss in killed, wounded and missing was
eighty; the enemy's loss in killed and wound
ed was one hundred and fifty, owing to their
superior numbers and making the attack
Soon after the capture of the Smith Briggs
she was blown up with tremendous explo-

SOLDIER SUFFRAGE.
Address of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Michigan to the Soldiers
from that State. t..

Tot Officers and Soldiers Of Michigan Regi-
nents noao IN the Field:
BY an act of the Legislature you are to
vote at the next election (Nov. 81 for Presi-
dental electors, members of Congress, and
the various officers of the State. The right
TO vote is valuable only as it is free. 1t has
boon claimed by Republicans that your
votes will be unit for their candidates.-
This is an insult to intelligent freemen.
Obedience in military matters is indispen-
sable, but free ballot is your right.
The Commissioners who will go to you
will be sent by Republican authority. Per-
haps your sources of knowledge will be un-
der the same dictation. Seek light from
Democratic sources. Believe not the SLAM
ders uttered against Democrats and the
Democratic party. The term 'traitor" and
other opprobrious epithets do not belong to
them. Call to mind the personal and pecu-
mary sacrifice of Democrats in raising
troops, in furnishing means for the war,
in sustaining your families at home, in
sending sanitary supplies to you in the field,
and in volunteering to fill your ranks. They
still continue to sustain you and provide
for your families at home. They are. with
you and for yeu in every emergency.
You are about to express by the ballot
your opinions as to the policy which should
govern in our present national ditiicuities.
! You, with the voters at home, are to decide
whether peace and Union of all the States
are preferable to the policy now announced
of unending war for negro equality.
This was not the policy under which the
= veterans enlisted. No: that policy was to
Z put down the rebellion and restore the
' Union under the Constitution. But the
President has changed, Congress has chang
/ ed, the Republican leaders have changed
They are now ultra Abolitionists. But ma
ny conservative Republicans will vote with
us for restoration Of the old order of
things. If you think they are right, unite
|, with these conservative men and with US
r for this object Let us have a change of
administration. Would you have the war
/ carried on, provided It be necessary, solely
|, for the Union and the restoration Of peace,
|. then vote for q change The present Ad-
ministratioh policy can only unitethe South,
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1864-08-26

divide public sentiment at the North, pre-,
long the war indefinitely, and end finally in
dissolution. .-s ri
Change to q Democratic Administration
and you may hope soon to see a restored
Union, an early return of peace, and that
blessed reunion with friends at home, who
are watching your every peril, rejoicing in
your every success, and waiting your return
from the dangers and sufferings Of war.
Seek for correct political information, and
follow not blind political guides and specu-
lating shoddyites, who for personal gain
would plunge the country into financial
ruin, leave your families destitute, and de-
stroy our armies in pursuing their chimer-
ical phantoms-of Aboltionism.
Thus much we have been constrained to
say, that the position of the Democratic
party may not be misunderstood. We are
now and ever for the Union, the Constitu-
tiOn, and the supremacy Of the laws. All
eyes are now upon you. Your votes may
decide the fate Of future generations and
the existence Of our time-honOred Repub-
lie. Still further illustrate, by your free
vote, the glorious name and fame you have
achieved for yourselves and the State, in
your gallant military deeds and unparal-
lcled heroism. Go for the Democratic con-
servative policy, for war, so far only as war
may be necessary, and always to maintain
the Union, the supremacy of the laws, and
to secure an early and an honorable peace.
