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. , “Arges till UREN: < lara 82 AR Ra hia Ae ocr at. cccsiuilibaieancepceseteieieerstnesitiedaangnatcnteunsenigtiaiasiaeeeammmiatapacaaasiameammenctienaiiisisnnsasticsineaastatas reer cette aTiasi eens eee aA rc tsinasinmeeiantaianatareiaatt ering cesaaieneminiruanimatnttannoanaaaiatiie 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.
