Whoever is notpreparod to sacrefice party organizations and platforms on the altar of his country docs not deserve tho support and countenance of honest people. How are we to overcome partisan antipathies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country? Wo must ccase discussing party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations and recriminations, indulge iu no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of these troubles. "When wo shall have rcscucd tho Government and country from its perils, and seen its flag floating in triumph over evory inch of American soil, it will then be time enough to enquire as to who aiul what has brought these troubles upon us. When we shall have a country and a Government for ourchildren to live in peace and happiness, it shall be time for each of us to return to our party banners according to our own convictions of right and duty. Let him bo marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

20tli Indiana Slsarpsliooters. The Fortress Monroe correspondent of tho Philadelphia Press, in a letter under date of March 11th, in writing of the iSTaval engagement in Hampton .Roads, thus speaks of the escape of the officers and crew of the burning frigate Congress, and by whom it was effected. The report was obtained from the Surgeon aboard the Congress, and is therefore altogether reliablo. He saj?s: "In the reports of the battle it was erroneously stated that the officers of the Congress had been captured. That we were not captured, however, seemed almost providential, and occurred thus: "When tho white flag was displayed the rebel tug boat, which was detach cd to take us prisoners, came steaming up to our side, when the sharpshooters of the Indiana Twentieth Regiment, who were stationed at Newport News, poured a volley into it. A midshipman named Freeman was killed by the discharge, and fell from the side of our vessel down to the deck of his own, a distance of fifteen feet. No doubt many others of the rebel crew were likewise killed or wounded, for they at once hauled off, not anticipating such troatment from the Indiana troops.— To the skill and gallantly of the latter alone, do tho officers and crew of the Cougress owe their deliveranco from durance vile."

Lato from Island IVo. lO. From a special dispatch to the Chicago Times from Cairo, under date of Tuesday, it does not appear, as stated on Monday, that Island No. 10 "was ours,'" but that tho engagement was still progressing and that on Monday tho gunboat Cincinnati received a shot from the enemy which is said to have materially damaged her machinery.— Also, that one of the guns of the St. Louis had burst, killing two, mortally wounding two, and severely wounding ten others. No ono was injured on the flag ship, and that none other of the fleet, save those above mentioned, had received any damage.

A messenger who had just arrived at Cairo from tho Island states that our toats kept up an incessant fire all day Monday.

The rebels have six distant batteries on the Tennesseo shore. Ono shot •struck the Benton, killing one man and wounding seven others.

The enemy arc ver}7 strongly fortified, and havo a large force on the main land. Shells from the mortars fall in the enemy's intrenchments every time. All tho mortars at Cairo were to leave immediately.

Latest from Island Wo. SO. ST. Louis, March 19. The news of the evacuation of Island No. 10 was sent to headquarters in this city by Gen. Pope, from New Madrid. .But now thero is no question in regard to the matter. Gen. Popo has telegraphed that in addition to the evacuation of tho Island, the rebels abandoned, without destroying, nine large transport steamers, which must eventually fall (if they have not already) into our hands. The batteries at New Madrid and Point Pleasant completely blockaded the river, so that it was impossible for the rebel boats to pass.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Died at the residence of his brother, in this city, on Friday morning last, March 14th, after a few hours illness, JASON W. COREY, aged about 56 years.

Mr. Corey, at the time of his death, was a resident of tho city of Lafayette. He came to this placo on the morning train Tuesday upon our streets during the day Wednesda}* and, in fact, was not thought by his friends to be dangerously ill on Thursday but on tho following morning that dread monster, death, tho conqucrer of all earthly, came, and his immortal spirit was ushered into the presence of the high and holy One, who inhabitoth eternity.

Capture of JVewherne, Worth Carolina. BALTIMORE, March 18.

The enemy's works, six miles below Newberne, were attacked on Friday night last. They were defended by a force 10,000 strong, having 21 guns posted behind formidable batteries, over two miles long. Tho fight was tho most desperate of tho war. Our troops behaved with great steadiness and courage, and after nearly 4 hours hard fighting drove the rebels from all their positions, capturing three light batteries of field artillery, 4G heavy siege guns, largo stores of fixed ammunition, 3,000 stand of arms and 200 prisoners, including one Colonel, three captains, and four lieutenants. The enemy left a large number dead on the field.

They escaped by cars to Goldsboro' burning the bridge over the Trent, and Claremont, and firing the city of Newberne. No extensive damage was done to the place.

We lost about 100 killed, and Major Legender of the 51st N. Y. mortally wounded.

Our troops under Gen. Burnside lauded on Thursday evening, near the mouth of Swan Creek on the west side of tho Neuse river, 15 miles below Newberne.

Owing to a dense fog the vessels did not participate in tho fight. Our troops advancing along tho country road, running parallel with the Nouso river, but a mile or two in the rear. The road was skirted on the west side by a railroad and a dense swamp All along the river side was a series of batteries which were taken by our troops'one after another, after some bloody hand to hand contests.

We captured a number of prisoners, including Col. Avery, who cursed his soldiers as cowards.

Just as tho battle terminated the fog lifted and enabled our gunboats, which had been waiting for an opportunity to participate in the fight, to como up the river, and our troops were furnished with transportation across tho river to Newberne.

Tho rebels attempted to firo the town in their retreat, but were pre vented by the citizens, who extinguished the flames as fast as they were started by tho soldiers.

None of our Generals or staff officers were killed or wounded. Wc captured from thirty to fifty cannon.

The officers of the rebels left their baggage behind, and tho men threw away ovcrything.

The fight terminated at 3 p. M. on Friday, when our troops remained masters of the field.

LETTER FROM DR. T. W. FRY.

SAVANNAH, TENN., March 11, 1862.

ED. JOURNAL: It is now five days sinco our troops embarked for an expedition up tho Tennessee river. The river was out of its banks, and the weather was bad. Rain fell in torrents, and cold winds swept with chilling influonco over land and water. Slow progress was made, but in duo process of time seventy-six steamers were filled with men,and munitions of war and moved, a mighty fleet, up the river.— For many miles the country seemed sparsely populated, but ever and anon indubitable evidcnco of loyalty was seen, and the farther we wont the stronger became the Union feeling.— Small squads of men and women gathered here and there, waving hats and caps and flags, and seemed rejoiced at the appearance of so mighty an army, coming to bring deliverance from tho tyranny which had so long oppressed them. Wo greeted them with shouts and strains of music, such as had never before floated over tho waters of the Tennesseo. The whole da}' has been spent as if wo were going on a grand pleasuro excursion. Tho expressions of joy which came from tho poople on shore inspired our men with more enthusiasm, and the}* gave vent to their feelings in loud and prolonged cheering. As wo passed the little town of Clifton thero were some groups that seemed mum and mad. Just above the town there was a wild enthusiasm and shouting from the three thousand men who crowded our two boats, then lashed together. I went above to ascertain the cause. Tho band had struck up a lively tune, and a man dressed in butternut came on to a platform from a cooper shop, and commenced waving his hat and dancing with such a gusto that Generals, Colonels, Captains and all united in one long, loud and cheering shout of npplauso. Tho man was doubtless happy he felt relieved, freed from tho oppression of rebel tyrants.

I understand since our arrival that two of our boats wero fired into near Clifton, and one man struck with a spent ball, doing but little damage.— Tho sight which greets our vision tonight is grand and imposing beyond description. Tho flag of our country streaming from the masthead of every steamer, tho camp-fires gloaming from the hillsides, tho various bands fiHing the aiV with national music, the hum of fifty thousand voices coming on the ear, tho shout and song and rapturous cheering of the different regiments, tho many lights which glow in and about the fleet of boats lying thick on both shores of the river, all conspiro to render it a scene so grand and enchanting that the memory thereof can never fade from tho mind.

The battle of Donclson has enabled us to penetrate thus far into tho land of the Southern Confederacy. From tho effects of one blow the rebels have fallen back nearly two hundred miles, and yet they talk of fighting till the last drop of blood i^spilled. Toombs, and Cobb, his co-laborer in iniquity, have advised the women and children to leave their homes in ashes as our army advances that they apply the torch to dwellings, villages and cities, and convert the country into a waste of black desolation but tho women are not such fools. They hoed not such advice. Secessionists themselves beg for protection from tho Federal army, and they will soon feel a greater degree of security under the old flag than they have under that of the Confederacy.

We are now nearing the most important railroad connection left them. It is at Corinth, Mississippi, which connects Charleston and Richmond with New Orleans and Memphis. If we succeed in taking that point, thero is no place where they can make a stand.— The backbono of the whole robellion will bo taken out. Memphis and New Orleans will be taken in the rear, and Charleston, Savannah, Richmond and Mobilo taken in the same way.

Reports met us here that tho rebels are fortifying abovo us, and have a large force—some 40,000 or 50,000 men —but I doubt if they make much of a stand. Their spirits are broken and recruits cannot be had. Tho hope of recognition is now entirely gone.

Some of our officers anticipate a fight near this place. Some little skirmishing has been going on. Ono of tho men who enlisted from Alabama came up tho other day, went out to see his family, was taken prisoner and hung.

WEDNESDAY MORNING.—I am sitting in tho pilot-houso of the Jno. J. Roe, which is anchored on the opposite shore from the little town of Savannah.— Above, below and across the river is gathered the mightiest fleot that ever floated on the western waters, and the largest army over transported by water in the United States. Tho village is small, but has some very commodious and excellent dwellings. The people generally thoroughly loyal. More than one hundred men volunteered yesterday, and are now enrolled as soldiers of the Federal Government. As proof of their loyalty, they have arrested a number of Secessionistswho have been active agents of the rebellion. They

aro in tho jail of Savannah. On this Bide of the river there is a farmer owning 3,000 acres of land and 100 slaves. He says that he will willingly let every negro go for the Union ho is an unconditional Union man.

When tho women speak for the Union, tho evidence of loyalty is infallible. As a general thing they are worse, more violent and more outspoken than the men. They know the gallantry of the American gentleman, and therefore use their tongues with that freedom for which they have long enjoyed a high reputation.

Tho sun shines out this morning very clear and warm. Spring has really come upon us, or rather we have como down to tho latitude of genuine spring weather. The town, tho hilltops, the boats, and the vallies are teeming with human beings, and the hum of fifty ttfousand voices strikes upon the ear bands of music are just sending forth their inspiring strains regiments, with muskots and bayonets glistening in the sunlight, aro moving through the town drums aro beating, and all things indicate an onward move upon tho rebels. No army ever moved with such confidence of success.— Every mart is inspired with hope. Tho Russian Cossacks never dreamed more fondly of universal conqucst than does the Federal soldiery of victory over the rebel hosts of the South. It would soem that an army of such dimensions, inspired with such feelings, fighting in such a cause and for an end so glorious, cannot fail. Victory must crown their efforts—rebellious ti'aitors cannot stand before them

Boats crowded with troops aro still arriving, adding to the grandeur of the scene. To witness so many thousands of men who have left homo, family and friends, and have taken their lives in their hands for the defense of our Government, proves it to be the best and strongest Government tho world has ever known. Oh! it cannot bo that God has permitted this mighty power to rise so rapidly, and allow it to be crushed in a day. Surely there must bo ulterior designs in the councils of tho Infinite, which must result in the overthrow of rebellion and the establishment of civil an I religious freedom on a basis never again to bo shaken by the evil passions of man.

With the completion of almost every sentence thero comes another boat crowded with troops. Tho gunboats made a recconnoissanco up the rivor during the night. Heavy firing was heard, which continued a few minutes, but for what purpose or by whom we havo not heard.

Many of tho regiments are now on shore having dress parade, which refreshes the men after so long confinement on tho boats.

Nothing of special interest now occurring. Truly, "*. T. W. FRY.

Our Success at Sew Madrid. ST. LOUIS, March 15. Popo in a dispatch to Halleck sa}*s: "Our succcss at New Madrid has been even greater than reported.— Twenty-five pieces of heavy artillery, 24-poundors and rifled 32's, 2 batteries field artillery, an immense quantity of mixed ammuntion, several thousand stand of small arms, hundreds of boxes of muskot cartridges, 300 mules and horses, tents for an army of 12,000 men, and an immense quantity of other property of not less value than a million of dollars, havo fallen into our hands.— Men only escaped. The enemy's whole force is demoralized and dispersed in the swanjj) on the opposite side of the river. "The enemy abandoned the works so hurriedly as to leavo all the bag bago of officers, the knapsacks of the men, their dead unburied, their candles burning in their tents and their suppers on tho tables. A furious storm which raged all night enabled them to get across tho rivor without being discovered. "Our heavy battery was established during the night of tho 12th within 800 yards of tho onemy's works, and opened at daylight upon the morning of the 13th, just 34 hours after the guns were deliverd teo us at Cairo. "During tho whole day yesterday our lines wero drawn closer around their works under the furious fire of 60 pieces of artillery. Fear of an assault upon their works at daylight induced them to flee precipitately during the night. "Many prisoners have been taken, together with the colors of several Arkansas regiments.

1

"Our loss was about 50 killed and wounded. "Hollins was in command of their fleot, and Gens. McConn, Stewart and Gault of the land forces. The gunboats went down the river."

Popo has 25 guns within 2 milos of tho enemy's works, which command every point of tho river.

The Rebels Evacuate New Madrid. ST. LOUIS, March 14.

Tho following is a copy of an official dispatch sent to the Secretary of War: After several days' skirmishing and numerous attompts by the enomy's gunboats to dislodgo Gen. Pope's batteries at Point Pleasant, tho enemy has evacuated his fort and intrenchments at New Madrid, leaving all his artillery, field batteries, tents, wagons, munitions, &c., and an immense quantity of stores. Brig. General Hamilton has occupied the place. This was the last stronghold of the enemy in this state. There is now no rebel flag flying in Missouri.

Further about the Evacuation of New Madrid. CAIRO, March 15.

The rebels evacuated New Madrid last night, leaving a quantity of guns and stores which they wero unable to carry away.

Some fighting took place yesterday between thoir gunboats and our seige batteries, in which wc lost 20 killed and wounded.

A shot from ono of their guns dismounted one of our 24-poundcrs, killing four or five.

Capt. Carr of tho 20th 111., was killed on Wednesda}7 night while placing the pickets. The loss of the enemy is not known as he carried off his dead and wounded.

They were supposed to numbor about 6,000. Island numbor 10 is reported to be evacuated.

Col. John A. Logan arrived here today from Fort Donelsou. Ho is

recov­

ering slowly. The steamer J. W. Gresham returned this P. M. from Nashville. A large number of St. Louis merchants, who went up on her with goods for sale, returned, some having sold their goods^ at a sacrifice, others in order to effect sales at better priccs.

Bank bills of loyal States and specie arc very scarce, and treasury notes are eagerly sought after by the shopkeepers.

Southern bank bills, especiallythose of Tennessee, are abundant. The people of Nashville, however, aro rapidly being convinced of their worthlessness. Anxious inquiries aro being made for cotton, turpentineand rosin. Although specio is offered, nothing of the kind could be had, except 200 bales of cotton shippod by a resident.

Battle on Rio Grande between Col. Canby's forces and the Texans.

ST. LOUIS, March 13.

The military oxpress has just arrived from Fort Craig with the news of a series of conflicts between our forces and the Texans, which lasted from 9 o'clock in the morning of the 21st until sundown of same day.

The fight commenced in the morning between a portion of our troops and the enemy across the Rio Grande with varied success until one or two o'clock that day. Col. Canby then crossed the river in force and with a battery of 6 pieces under Capt. McRea of the cavalry, but detailed in command of tho battery, also a small battery of two howitzers.

The enemy was surprised to hear 7 or eight pieces. The battle commenced by artillery skirmishes and soon becamo general.

Towards evening most of the enomy's guns were silenced. They however made a desperate charge on tho howitzer battery.

Capt. McRea's battery was defended by Capt. Plympton's company of U. S. infantry and a portion of Capt. Pino's regiment of New Mexicans volunteers.

The Texans charged dcspcratel}' and furiously »vith picked men, about 600 strong.

They were armed with carbines, revolvers and seven pound bowie knives. After discharging their carbines at a short distance, they drew their revolvers and rushed upon tho battery in a storm of grape and cannistcr.

The Mexicans of Pino's regiment Were panic stricken and ignominiously fled. Capt. Plympton and his infantry stood their ground and fought nobly till moro than ono hundred were numbered with the dead. With his artillerymen cut down, his support either killed, wounded, or flying from tho field, Capt. McRac sat down quietly, calmly on ono of his guns, and with his revolvor in his hand, refusing to fly or desert his post, he fought to the last and gloriosly died the death of a hero the last man at his guns.

The Texanssuffercd terribly in their charge. Many officers distinguished themselves on this day.

Kit Karson in command of a regiment of volunteers, who wero deployed as skirmishers, did good service during the action and behaved well.

Our loss was about 200 killed and wounded. That of the enemy is believed to be much greater.

The greatest confidcnco is reposed in Col. Canby, and his volunteers will do their duty.

Tho Texans will bo ignominiously drivon from tho country.

Battle at Salem, Mo. ROLLA, Mo., March 13. A short time since, anticipating rebel movement in Toxas county, Mo., Gen. Halleck ordered five companies of troops and two light steel 6-pound-ders mounted on two wheels and drawn by two horses, under Col. Wood to repair to that vicinity. On finding no enemy, Col. Wood pushed on to Salem, Fulton county, whore he encountered a largely superior force of the rebels, and after a sharp fight routed them, killing about 100 and taking many prisoners, among the latter three Colonels. Our loss was about 50.

The prisoners take by Gen. Curtis at Pea Ridge are now en route for St. Louis under a proper guard.

The reports that Gen. Curtis is in a dangerous position are false. Forage for cavalry is scarce, but in other respects the situation of our troops is cheering.

The demoralized^and crippled forces of Gens. Price and" Van Dorn aro moving south.

Beaufort and the Pirate Nashville at our Mercy. NEW YORK, March 17.-}s Key west advices of the 10th report the sailing of Porter's mortar fleet.

A Nassau letter of tho 9th states that tho steamer Ellen Waverly, with 1,000 bales of cotton, and the Kate, from Fernandina, had arrived there. The cargo of the former was being transferred to the ship Eliza Bonsall.

The fall of Newberne leaves Beaufort and the pirate steamer Nashville at our mercy.

Mountain pickets of the enemy were in sight on the bluff on our arrival.— Two companies of the 27th 111. were sent after them, but they escaped.

A strong Union feeling is manifested hero. Tho impression prevails that Island No. 10 will not offer much resistance to our forces.

There are said to be 2,000 troops at Union, 7,000 at Humboldt, and 15,000 in the vicinity of Island No. 10.

At tho latter place there are also said to be twelve heavy guns in three batteries.

His headquarters will be in the field. Col. Shanks, of the House of Repi*esentatives, will accompany him as soon as his duties will permit.

A large number of applications have been made by volunteer officers, to be appointed, in the regular army, but these havo been unsuccessful. Among other reasons is the difficulty of discriminating between applicants.

Ague Cure. This is something of a scienco as well as medicine. The supreme difficulty of tho scienco is to accomplish its end without injury to tho health—the supreme excellence of the medicine is in accomplishing just that. Fever and Aguo has long boon cured by Quinine, Arsenic, Bismuth, Mercury, but the mischief was, the deep and »ften painful footprints they havo left on the constitutions treated by them. DOC'T AYF.B'S new remedy cures without a particle of either of these or any other deliterious substance. And he promises not only absolute safety but pcrfect certainty of cure, with which we may mention another quality of excellence not to be overlooked in these times, and that is his low price, which puts this crowning glory of his art, within tho reach of all.—Herald Lake Co., Intl. mar20

The following flattering notice is taken from tho Portsmouth (Ohio) Scioto Valley Republican, of April ?, 1859:

SCANDINAVIA.—A friend writes to us for our "real opinion" of Dr. Roback's Scandinavian Remedies —whore lie can obtain them—and why they are called "Scandinavian," and we are frequently asked the same questions. Scandinavia is an ancient name of Sweden and Norway, and a

Scandinavian,

that is, a Swede or Norwegian, affectionately calls his country "Scandin-ivia," in the samo sense as we speak of "Columbia," or "Tho Union." By tho way, there arc over nine thousand Scandinavian families in Dano county, Wisoonsin. Altho' a citizen of this country for many rears, Df. Robaek is a Swede by birth, and compounds his Medicinesof Swedish herbs, wo think the name is very appropriate. We have the very highest opinion of the Medicines, and of Dr. Roback himself, who iB not only a singularly skillful physician, but a gentleman of the Old School, as wc know personally. Our advertisement columns will answer tho rest of our friend's letter. See advertisement. mai-20.
