Whoever i.- nat prepared to saurcfioc party organizalions and platforms on the altar of his eoinitrv «docs not deserve the support and countenance of honest people. How arc wo to overcome partizan nntipauiies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country?

We must cease discussing party issues, make 110 allusion^ to old party tests, have 110 criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against 'the other, as to who has been the cause of these ...troubles. hen we shall have rescued the Government and country from its perils, and seen its flag floating in .•.•triumph over every inch of American soil, it will then bo time enough to enquire as to who and "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 be marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues 111 times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

Capt. Xaj lor has been long and favorably known in old Montgomery, having, from early boyhood, till within the past few years resided in Crawfordsvillo.

HKADQIJAUTKHS 3D DIMSION, Cui'Mi-'s LANDING, TKNN., March 20, 1SG2. ED. JOURNAL I have time to write but a few lines. Wo arc hero in the very heart of rebeldom, just on the borders of Alabama and Mississippi. The rebels are conccntrating in force at Corinth, Miss., about 25 miles from this plaec. They have been collecting from Columbus, Pensacola and many other points, with the view, it seems, of making a last grand stand out of tho reach of" the gunboats. Their numbers are reported at from GO,000 to 100,000.— Johnson, Polk and Beauregard are there. Our troops are near them to-

night., and we expect to move in a few hoars. If they stand, there will be a terrible battle and a finishing stroke if we are successful. I have full confidence in our ability to conqucr them, if there is concert of action. From the reports of deserters who came in to-day there isa determination to make a stand at Corinth. Their best Generals arc there. It is also stated that many of the soldiers arc well armed others with shotguns and rifles. Many of their men had to be guarded on the trains to prevent them from deserting. .Many will not fight. The Mississippians and Louisianians will fight, but tho soldiers from other States will not.— They have ordered the sugar and molasses to be burned.

Tho final crisis is now at hand (lie grand struggle is upon us a might}* conflict is threatening, but our troops are confident, We came to conqucr.— Justice is on our side, and victory will perch upon our standards.

We took a short sail up the rive-i- this afternoon, and came near going to tho bottom. In attempting to turn the boat the wind struck her broadside, and drifted her into the woods. The chimneys crashed upon the pilot-house and the trees seemed striking into her sides. There was a rush aft, and all looked out for fire or to see her settle to tho bottom, but fortunately we weathered the storm and floated safely in to the landing. Truly,

MR, EDITOR—Dear Sir: Having considerable of ^nothing to do, and as camp life becomes monotonous and tiresome when unemployed, just for the want of something better I thought I would writo a few lines for tho Journal, thinking perchance the "folksat home' might be interested in hearing a word from the boys.

We have been here now about ten days, and arc so pleasantly situated that wc would willingly remain longer, but looking over a Crawfordsvillc paper this morning I learned we were to be in Memphis in a short time, where Col. Manson was to receive a handsome sword, and Co. a splendid flag, presented by the loyal and patriotic citizens of old Montgomery and as it is some distance to Alemptrs, and the time specified in the paper nearly half expired, I suppose wo will have to start soon for that place.

The health of our regiment when wo arrived here was rather under par, a great many of the boys being reported "unable for duty not many serious cases, however. But the diligence and watchfulness of our new Surgeon, Dr. Dougherty, and the genial atmosphere of spring, has brought things nearly all right again. Dr. D. is very active in the discharge of his duties, visiting all the quarters daily, going into every tent, making the boys stir up their beds, air their blankets and remove all filth. To this is doubtless attributable tho marked improvement in tho health of the regiment. Our old Surgeon,Dr. Allen, was left behind with the sick in the hospital at Somerset, and *wo are

Las deprived of his valuable services. DAY AMONG TTIE CAMPS.

Yesterday, in company with Capt. Vanarsdall, I went out for a walk, and to see "tho Elephant." We first visited Fort. Zollicoffer, which is situated on the Cumberland river, about two miles from our camp and six below the city. The works are in an unfinished state, and arc said to have been constructed by somC-of Zollicoffer's men after their disastrous defeat and retreat from Mill Springs. Thcro are about 12 guns of very heavy calibre still remaining in the works, all but one being disabled. There were probably many more smaller ones, but they were either removed or thrown into tho river. Those rcmaining were all of Southern manufacture, cxccpt two very fine 32-pound Parrott guns, which were evidently Uncle Sam's property, and may yet do him much servicc.

I also noticed the ruins of a magazine to which they had applied the match in their hasty retreat, scattering tho bars of railroad iron, of which it was constructed, over several acres, bending and twisting them in all imaginable shapes. Shot and shell of every pattern were scattered around in the greatest confusion.

We next visited tho camp of-the 2nd

J&EiJss*

Thompson, son of Rev. James Thompson, who resided in Crawfordsvillc some years ago. He belongs to Co. II, 2d Minn., and was with us at the battle of Logan Fields. After partaking of the hospitality of his camp for a short time we went into the camp of the 1st Ohio Cavalry, and here we met Billy Simpson, another Crawfordsvillc boy. This is ono of the finest Cavalry regiments I have seen in the service. They have not seen the enemy yet, and are anxious to have a brush with him.

In passing through tho camp of the U. S. Regulars, I could not help remarking tho polito bearing of tho men and the cleanliness and taste displayed

a

bout their quarters,

Many of the boys

had cut branches from cedar trees and planted them in front of their tents, which had a very pleasing effect, and mado the camp somewhat resemble a suburban village.

Capt. Vanarsdall seemed to be acquainted with nearly every other man he met. In fact he has such a free and easy, don't care sort of away in his intercourse with military men, that ho is sure to make many friends wherever he goes.

After spending the greater part of the day rambling among the different camps, wc returned to our quarters, somewhat wearied and with splendid appetites for rations.

Lieut. Col. Blake, of the 40th, was with us a short time the other day.— liis regiment and the 15th are somewhero in the vicinity of the city.

But my letter has grown sufficiently long, and I must close. Yours trrly,

TliC Of UeatUi.~: McCuiloch was struck with a Minic rifle ball in the left breast—as I am assured by ono who saw him fall, and after he "was taken from the ground— while waving his sword and encouraging his men to stand firm. ITe died of his wounds about 11 o'clock the same night, though lie insisted that he would recovcr repeatedly saying with great oaths thaffile was not born to be killed by a Yankee. "A few minutes before he expired his physician assured him ho had but a very brief time to live. At this, Ben looked up incredulously, saying "Oh, Hell!" turned away his bead and never spoke after. -U

I presume if Ben be really dead, the Southern papers will put some very fine sentiment into his mouth in his closing moments but tho last words I have mentioned are declared to be correct by a prisoner. They are not very elegant nor very dramatic, but quite expressive, and in McCuiloch caso docidediy appropriate.

NEWISERXE, March 15, 1862.

The General commanding congratulates his troops on their brilliant and hard fought victory of tho 14th. Their courage, their patience, their endurance of fatigue, .exposure and toil, cannot be too highly praised. After a tedious march, dragging howitzers by hand through swamps and thickets after a sleepless night passed in a drenching rain, they met the enemy in his chosen position, found him protected by strong earthworks, mounting many heavy guns, and in an open field themselves they conquered.— VTith such soldiers to advance is victory. The General commanding directs with peculiar pride that, as"a well deserved tribute to valor in this second victory ,of the expedition, each regiment engaged shall inscribe on its banner the memorable name "Newborne."

By tho way, thcro arc over nine thousand Scandinavian families in Dane conntj-, Wisconsin. Altho' a citizen of this country for many years, Dr. Robnck is a Swede by birth, and compounds his Jlodicincsof Swedish lieibs, wc think the nam? is very appropriate. Wc have the very highest opinion of the Medicincs, arid of Dr. Roback himself, who i. not only a singularly skillful physician, but 11 gentleman of the Old School, as we know personally. Our advertisement columns will answer the rost "of our friend's letter. See advertisement. mar20.
