OB PRINTINGNEATLY EXECUTED
at thie effice—Corner of Pine and Broad sts.
Aevada Democrat.
GrexekaL McoDowkLL,—One of the itema
of good news received from Washington is,
that Gen. McDowell is to be made a Major
General and placed in command of ove of
the divisions of the Grand Army. There is
nothing which bas been so strongly indica
tive of Gen, McClellan’s good sense, or
which in the estimation of the judicious has
given greater satisfaction, than his showing
of cordial respect and sympathy for Gen,
McDowell. It is conceded by military meu,
at home and abroad, friendly and hostile,
as well as patent tothe understanding of
the intelligent public, that Gen. McDowell’s
plan of the battle of Bull Run was admirable. He struck the weak place of the enemy's lines, and deserved victory though he
did not win it. He did not seek the position of Commander of the Army of the Potomac. It wasan honor thrust upon bim,
and accepted with the modesty which graces
a true soldier and gentiman, as certainly
as it adorns the true woman. He had. long
before be led the army in the forward
movement which resulted so disastrouely, a
very correct appreciation of the magnitude
and dangers of his position, and he was
barrassed and mortified by finding much
ignorance and receiving many dscouragements where he should have discovered only sagacious understanding, and met with
nothing but hearty co operation. His report of the battle of Bull Run is most bonorable to him, being clear, simple, candid
and complete, possibly a little too tender in
respect to incompetent officers, but altogethera document that could have been
produced by a true soldier and gentleman,
The country seeing in McDowell only the
commander of an army that was defeated,
bas done him injustice.—[Ciocionati Commercial,
JOHNSTON AND BekauREGaRD.—A correspondent recorde his impressions of Generals
Johnston aod Beauregard, as follows.
I have had the pleasure of seeing General Jobuston. He looks \ikeaGeneral. He
is about five feet eight or nine inehes in
hight, good form, very erect, bandsome
face, thick moustache, and beard somewhat
sprinkled with white, His hair is slightly
grey. His organs of benevolence and veneration are extremely large. He should
talk well and speak fluently. He has the
. decided advantage over Gen. Beauregard,
as far us appearance goes, Of the two, at
first sight, [ would prefer Gen. Jobnston,
. The difference between the two are, I im. agine, these: Beauregard is merely a mili. tary man, and looks chiefly at military re} sults. Johnston looks at political as well
. as military results, Beauregard has the
most cantiousness, and, I think, most deter. mination; that is, Beauregard would never
give up, but woald fight even against hope.
Jolinstoo, on the contrary, with his large
bevevolence, would look beyond mere re. sistance, and would not sacrifice life where
there was no hope io fighting. Politicaliy
the other considerations would govern him,
. But Beauregard would fight on and fight
lforever, Johnston having less cautiousness
I think would make the most dariog moves
. and the most rash charges, and we all know
that in even apparent rashoess is often the
extreme of prudence. Beauregard would
probably be the safest commander io de
fence. Johnston would create the greatest
. enthusiasm, and io a desperate charge would
. succeed best.
A Ca. From Bex McCuLLocu.—The Mem.
phis (Teno.) Avalanche bas the following
special dispatch:
Fort Sumter, Sep, 26.—A regiment of
Missourians, under Colonel Hunter, bas
been defcated by the Kansas rnffians, under
Lane’and Montgomery, backed by Federal
troops. Lane and Montgomery are marching upon the Kansas frontier. General
McCulloch has only aboot 3,500 men. A
proclamation from bim, dated headquarters
Camp Jackson, September 25th, says:
“Kansas Lane and Montgomery bave defeated a Missouri regiment, under Colonel
Hunter, and have burned Osceola, I need
three regiments of infantry immediately. I
will accept them for twelve months. Let
all those who bave arms bring them, as the
arms turned over to the State may fall into
the hands of those nearest to them. Let
those who wish to serve their State rally to
her defence at once, Ben, McCo.iocn,
Brig. Gen, Commanding.”
Apascoxpev.— The La Porte Messenger
says it is generally understood that Wm.
Nier, who for some time past has been connected with Mr. Kitchilin, in the mercantile
business, at Port Wine, bas absconded leaving his creditors largely in the lurch, It is
conjectured that be has taken the overland
route to the States, with from $7,000 to
$8,000 in bis possession.
Patuetic.—An English paper says: The
funeral of the late pugilist, Ben, Caunt, was
attended by Bendigo, ex-Champion of Eagland, with whom Caunt had fought two battles, and who appeared mach affected.

NUMBER 530
A Soldier's Opinion of the Peace Party.
+ Capt. B. H. Myers, of one of the Indians
regimeo‘s now serving In Western Virginia,
writes as follows in reference to the “Peace
Party”? movement:
[ see by the papers and by the resolutions
of some Democratie meetings that there is
an eflort being made to inaugurate what ie
called a Peace, or Compromise party iu the
States. This can only be condusive of serious mischief. Its effect will be to protong
the war—and add to the already heavy list
of slaughtered on our side. To cry for
ace or cumpromise after our defeat at
anassas, until we hate redeemed oureelves
from the disgrace attending our unexpected
rout there,is but a palpable admission of
our weukoess or cowardice, and perhaps
both, to the whole civilized world, No euch
political project can secure my sympathy,
The day of Compromise, with me is pass
while the blood of my fetlow-soldiers is
erying in thunder tones from the ground,
that their fall be avenged. He who agitates
it is a disguised traitor, under whatsoever
name he may attempt it. I detest that the
xacred name of Democracy shall be used to
thwart the wishes of patriots everywhere,
by secession traitors iu oor own door-yarde.
Tbe language of Compromise and Peace, ie
to the rebels, hold out yet a while,—we will
triumph and then you may, with impunity,
read assui der, this, the Government of our
fatbere. But stop, . am a soldier, and
should not let my feelings be carried away
by avy political movement af home, Bat it
makes rne so d—d mad—to hear Peace,
Compromise, when the result of it may be
to cost me Jife or limb, or that of some of
the true and brave boys I have under me,
that I cannot refrain ay expression, If at
home how I would like to excoriate the
scamp who favors so rninous aud #0 dastardly a policy.
Better if tbey are sincere in thelr protertations and desire for peace, that they
shoulder their muskets—ecome into the service, and assist usin acquiring an honorable
peace, I will never @onsent to lay down
my arms till treason and traitors are pun¢
ished and the precedent attempted to be established, that upon the enccess of this or
that party, if distasteful, a band of traitors
may revolutionize the Government, wholly
dissipated, The question now is a Govern
ment or no Government. Whether it is destroyed by treason, or as successfully done
by Northern traitors by Compromise, is
wholly indifferent. You now have my
opinion, in part, ar to a Peace Party,
A Fema.e SarpanaPaLas.—A woman of
the name of Bachelier, who occupied a garret in the Rue des Amandiers, in Paris, bad
received notice to quit from her landlord,
in consequence of ber habitual drunkenness
and the constant annoyance which her conduct occasioned the other tenants, The
quarter was allowed toexpire, but the
troublesome lodger took no steps to provide
berself with another home, The landlord
at last threateved to callin the assistance
of the police. Hereupon the little old womao vented ber indignation in a torrent of
abuse, saying the commissary might come
the next morning, for ehe would clear away
her things before then. Early on the following morning a thick smoke was seen to
escape from the chamber occupied by the
refractory lodger. The door was broken
open, when it was discovered that the whole
room was on fire. The firemen were immediately on the spot, and, by their exertions, the conflagration was prevented from
extending to the rest of the house. A horrible spectacle meanwhile presented itself.
In acorner of the room bad been raised a
kind of funeral pile, to which every combustible article, bedstead, bedding and
chairs, bad been made to contribute, and on
the top of these was the body of a woman,
completely calcined. Itis eunposed that,
by way of revenging berself on the landlord, she bad resolved to make her own
death a cause of destruction to the whole
house.
A Wowxperrut Fortirication.— Among
the relics in which Kentucky abounds of
the work of ages anterior to the presence
of the Anglo Saxon on the western hemisphere, one of the moet remarkable is eaid
to exist in Allen county, on the Tennessee
border, and seventeen miles from Bowling
Green, where a wall of solid limestone, two
hundred yards in length, forty feet bigh,
thirty feet at the base, and six feet wide at
the top, crossesa neck formed by a bend
in Drake’s creek, and incloses a peninsula
of 200 acres, inclosed by a wall and a ditch,
forming one of the strongest fortresses in
the world. It is not improbable that the
fortunes of war may cause this old fortification to be occupied by a bostile force,
and made to play a prominent part in this
civil contest.—[Louisville Journal.
