Whoever is not prepared to sr. .refiee party organizations and platforms on the .".ltar of his country does uot deserve the support and countenance o! honest people. How aro we to overcome partisan antipa'V.k'S in the minds of men of nil parlies so as topreseut a united front in support of our country? We must cense discussing party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations ftud recrimination?, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of those troubles.

The Gallant Tcntii.

A correspondent of thcLafayetteJowrnal. writing from camp opposite "Mill Springs," under date of 21st inst., in connection with other statements, thus speaks of tho old Tenth and her gallant Colonel, M. D. Man son: ''•To the Indiana 10th, in a great measure, we are indebted for thisglorious victorj'. Never did men fight better or more determined, and never were troops more encouraged and aided in doing their duty by officers than were they by Lieut. Col. Kiss and Major Miller. Cool and collected they matched every opportunity ofout maneuvering the enemy, which the boys were not slow to take the advantage of.— The}' have the entire confidence of the men under their command, and wherecver they lead, or direct, the entire regiment will willingly go.

CAMP WICKLIEFE, NEW HAVEN, Ivr., Jan. 21, 1862. EDITOR "CRAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL:" I desire through your columns to return the thanks of the loth Regiment Ind. Vols., to the fair ladies of Crawfordsville for the receipt of a fine supply of clothing and bedding, through Liout. Riley, Co. "E," designed for our Hospital. I assure them that the noble deed of administering to tho comforts of our sick will not soon be forgotten by tho sufferers, whose pillow they have

thus

softened and if it should be

their unfortunate lot to languish long on the bed of disease, their eyes will brighten and their hearts swell with joy to think that the fair ones they have left behind are exercising themselves in their behalf.

J. T. PEARMAN, Acting Surgeon.

Effects of tlie Victors* at Somerset. Tho New York Post, in commenting upon the recent victory at Mill Spring, where Zollicoffer was routed and killed, says that if this nation can be convinced that this stroke is but a preliminary to a succession of blows that our Cabinet and Generals are terribly in earnest that no compromise or parley will be suffeied until the arms of our brave' men have beaten the conceit out of the arrogant noddles of the slave drivers, then there will be no want of mone\", no want of men, and no division of sentiment, even as to slavery or any other question. The war itself, vigorously prosecuted, will settle all troubles, whether in the Treasury, in Congress, in the camps or in foreign councils. Success is the most convincing logic and the most persuasive eloquence that can be addressed either to the North, tho South, or to Europe.— It will unloose the pockets of the mon-ey-holders it will cheer the hearts of the masses whose brothers and sons are in the field it will compel the respect of our foes, and it will defeat the machinations of their agents abroad. John Bull will see a nearer road to his cotton through our victories than his own doubtful interpositions LouisNapoleon will not undertake to cut a knot that wo have united and the "reconstruction" of the Union, when it comes, be best adjusted for the interests of freedom after the armies of freedom shall have raised their triumphant flags over the stolen fortresses and all the recreant cities of the land.

Still it is like the billowy surges of the tempest-tossed lake, sometimes in favor of one and then tho ether but, finally, God be praised Col. Fry and General Zollicoffer come close together. Zolly says to Fry: "So, I understand, these are my men," pointing to our forces.

Now they falter. Still the battle rages on. But now their artillery ceases to roar. Now the self-conceited rebels' hearts begin to fail. Now they run, and oh, my God what a spectacle. They run, and now we come to their dead and wounded. The woods are literally covered with them. Such a sight I never expected to see. Our men now pursue. I did not go farther than this point, fori was now exhausted.

After lookingover the field for a time I returned to camp with Capt. Yanarsdall, who was also very much exhausted. We found Capt. ilogcland also in the rear, taking care of the dead and wounded, and each company bearing several men back. We staid at camp, i:\nd our forces pushed on and run them into the fortifications. They were u-oll fortified. Our forces bombarded them until nightfall. Then they ceased till this morning, when they commenced attain. About eight o'clock this morning. the 14th Ohio and 10th Kentucky, who had no share in the battle, entered the fort, and behold the enemy had fled during the night, leaving 100 wagons, 1,000 horses, 300 mules, six pieces of artillery, all their camp equipage, officers' trunks, swords, blankets and everything used in camp life. It isthegreatest victory of the rebellion. We have been engaged all day to day in burying the dead of the enemy, said to be over 300 killed and wounded.

OUR KILLED AND WOUNDED. Now for the damage on our side. I can only give you the result in our own regiment:

15TII REG IM EXT.

Tho Lafayette Courier says: Lieutenant R. J. Tempieton, of the 10th Indiana regiment, arrived in this city this morning, direct from Kentucky, on the way to his home at Oxford, on furlough. The health of the regiment has greatly improved within the past few days. The recent sickness among the troops is attributable to the recent vaccination of the regiments, and the bad water they have been compelled to use for drinking and cooking purposes, the late rains having swollen and rendered very unclean the streams from which they are compelled to use water. Tho effect of vaccination has now subsided, and the boys are all improving. Col. Wagner, of the 15th, who has been quite ill from typhoid fever for some time past, is also rapidly recovering and able to transact his official duties. Tho cause of his recent arrest by General Nelson, as we have before stilted, was a failure to comply with a general order for the vaccination of all the men in his regiment in one day. Mot wishing to have them all sick at one time, the Colonel ordered the Surgeons to use two days in the operation. This was the head and front of his offending. He was released in

hours after the

The Tenth had alone to contend .with eight regiments for nearly one hour without any aid, and seeing they were about to outflank us at both wings, we fell back until the Fourth Kentucky regiment, Col.

There are 15 companies of federals at Fort Craig, lo at Albuquerque, 6 at Santa Fo, and GOO men at Fort Union.

Friday night at 12 o'clock. Leaving Fortress Aionroe on Saturda}" at 10 o'-1 clock in the morning, we proceeded at once to sea, but owing to fogs on Son-' day and Sunday night our progress was very slow. "On Monday, the 13th, the weather* cleared up with heavy wind and rough sea, causing our vessels to labor very heavily, and some were obliged to cut loose from the vessels they were towing. Mosr of these, however, passed over the bar and anchored inside the harbor on the 15th inst., just in time to escape the severe gale of Moiiday. night and Tuesday. The propeller City of New York ran on the bar at the entrance to the harbor, and owing to severe weather and want of small boats, wo could render her no assistance.— She was iaden with stores, and was Tost,"

The General also says, he had been led to suppose that he would find experienced pilots at Hatteras. but bad great difficulty in accomplishing his wish for want of proper accommodation. He adds he would commence that day build a wharf for landing supplies. The men were cheerful and patient, and would proceed with confidence.

An ac-( Merit occurred in an effort to relieve the C.iy of New York by which a boat was swamped, and the lives of Col. Allen, of the 'Jth N. J., his surgeon and the mate of the boat were lost.

Alter the arrival of the expedition at Hatteras the enemy made their appearance, in one or two vessels on a reconnoitering expedition. Our boats gave chase and drove them back.

The transports and vessels grounded will be got off b}- the aid of the tugboats. Only the New York was lost, and no lives except thoso above referred to.
