Introductory.
January l6, 1864. ?

An Association of gentlemen, who arc
Members of the Democratic party of Ohio
and who desire its success and the triumph
of its principles and measures, has been
formed under the name of THE OHIO
STATESMAN COMPANY, and has purchased Of
Messrs. MANYPENNY and MILLER, the entire
STATESMAN NEWSPAPER PRINTING EsTAB-
LIsHMENT, and the good will of the same;
and this Company will publish the Paper
under its old, cherished, and honored name
Daily, Tri-Weekly, and Weekly.
On taking charge of THE STATESMAN, and
assuming its Editorial supervision and con-
troll, few introductory words from us are
in order, and may not be omitted.
We appreciate fully the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the position which has been
assigned us, having learned their varied
and important character during aten years
connection with the Democratic Press of
Ohio--the last two years in the Editorial
Department Of this Paper. We purpose to
discharge them according to our convic-
tions of right, and to the extent Of our
ability; and In doing this, we will be un-
awed by fear, and unseduced by favor or af-
fection. Our work shall be done with firm
ness and fidelity, under proper sense, we
hope, of the dignity of the Press, not for
getting the amenities due to orr position.
We shalrre willing to cope with our adj
versaries, not in personal abuse, but with
fair argument in the open field.
The discussions of questions, which are
from time to time evolved, shall be con-
ducted in an impartial and independent
spirit in the columns Of this paper. We
know that man is so constituted, that he Is
liable to differ from his fellow-man--not
upon one question alone, but upon all ques-
.tions that can by any possibility arise.
With this knowledge before us, we will at
all times, be found extending the largest
liberality, the greatest courtesy, consistent
with Justice and propriety, toward those
who differ from us.
/ We are not of the Machiavellian school of
Politics, nor do we ever intend to be. We
can never adopt the profane heresy; "AH
is Jair in Politics. We believe that strict
morality forbids man to oassume two char
aeters, one Of which is Inconsistent with
the other. Wcdetest the so-called morality
that allows a man In one character to be "a
man Of principle" and in another character
to be ~ man Of mere expedients'-that al
lows him as q MAN, to be '.yeracious, hon
est, moral" !" but as a POLITICIAN, ''deceitful,
cunning. unscrupulous.v With this kind
Of roIlrIcAL MORALITY we viii have no

Letter from Folly island, 3. c.
CAMP TwENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT J
ONO VETERAN VOLUNTEER INF'RY,|
FOLLY ISLAND. s. G.. Jan. 8. 1864.


ED. ONO STATESMAN: Since my last letter
we have had a holiday, as nearly observed
according to special order from our brigade
commander, as those of olden times in our
beautiful and much-loved Ohio. The men
were excused from all duty, and joy, tenn
pered, somewhat, by recollections of slowed
ones at home," reigncd supreme. Some
of the encampments were beautifully deco
rated, miniature churches erected, and et-
cry description of evergreen arches glad
dened the eye. Early on New Years morn
ing, as starter for the festivities of the day,
we were regaled with the view of as pretty
q little naval affair as ever transpired
in these parts. During the night of the
self by erecting battery of heavy artillery
under cover of some buildings and the dark
ness, within close range of the anchorage of
the gunboat Marblehead, and opened on her
at the dawn Of day. After half an hours
engagement the Marblehead withdrew,
losing three men killed and five wounded.
At this juncture. the Pawnee, atwenty-two a
gunboat, steamed up, swung round, and
opened with genuine Yankee broadside.
One round was all that was necessary. The
rebs did not bargain for the Pawnee, and
fed in hot haste, horse, foot and wagons,
leaving their guns, ammunition, and artil-
lery fixtures at our mercy. Our boys look
ed coolly on while the play lasted. and re
turned to their amusements satisfied that
the marines were ''some on water" This
is the only engagement worth mentioning
which has transpired here since the taking
of Wagner and Gregg.
From the reading Of this you will per-
ceive that the "old Twenty Fifth" have
added 'sVp to their cognomen, they are
now "Veterans" In accordance with General
Order No. 191, and as such, will return to
Ohio to fill up our depleted ranks, and visit
our friends before again testing our fortunes
on the stented field"
We Will be Ia Ohio by the Doth of this
month, every arrangement having been
made to enable us to do so, save the Pay
masters settlement. You need not look
for very imposing procession to pass up

struggles of the two previous days.
Skirmishing and artillery firing occurred

being SO close to the enemy that it was
dangerous to enter or leave them.
An attack was made on the center of
our line about 10 last night, but was
quickly repulsed. In charge made by
the 9Th corps Friday evening, the Sd
brigade of Crawford's division, Colonel
Carroll commanding, took the 39th N. G.
