Whoever is not prepared to saerefice party organizations and platforms on the altar of his country does not dosorve the support and countenance of honest people, llow aro we to overcome partizan antipathies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united front in support of our country? We must cense discussing party issues, make no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of theso troubles.

Wlu-n weshall 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 wc i-hall have a country and a Government for our children 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. Lot him bo marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. [Douglas nt Chicago.

SWORD PRESENTATION. In pursuance of notice given, the Bvrord purchased by our citizens was presented to General Manson on Saturday last. It had been the intention of our citizens to send a deputation to Tennessee for this purpose, but the presence of Gen. Manson in our midst, and just at the time, too, when he had been nominated and confirmed as Brigadier General, made it peculiarly propel* that tho presentation should take place here at his home.

At the appointed time, (2 o'clock,) some two or threo thousand people, from the town and country, repaired to tho west front of the Court House.— The large crowd, tho music of our excellent band, tho beautiful day, and above all the presence of the 'ladies, contributed to render the occasion most interesting. Everybody seemed anxious to do honor to the gallant hero of Hich Mountain and Logan Fields.

On behalf of the people of Montgomery county, lion. Jf mes Wilson addressed Gen. Manson as follows:

GENERAL MANSON: The people of Montgomery county, with one voice, resolved to tender you a proper testimonial of their appreciation of your patriotic services in defence of the Union. I am their honored organ to carry out their purpose on this occasion.— I assure you it is to nic a pleasant duty to perform.

Indeed, there is nothing strange in th6 fact that your fellow-citizens are desirous to honor you. It is because you merit all, and more than all, of honor that either our actions can proclaim, or our grateful hearts express.

It is now almost twelve months since the Proclamation of the President called the people1 of the United States to the defence of their imperiled Governxiient. Before the Proclamation all sects, all creeds, all parties disappeared, and every citizen became at once either a loyal or disloyal citizen. There was not then, there is not now, and there cannot bo henceforth, any intermediate ground. The heart that is not unreservedly with the Government, in this its great peril, is a heart of treason and the hand that does not maintain its cause is the hand of a traitor whether that heart pulsates or that hand is lifted in the South or in the North. Ytfur course was not doubtful. Prompt against Mexico, you could not be otherwise than prompt when the anguished ciyof your country ascended to Ileaven against the crimes of her unnatural children:-' With the seven-ty-five thousand soldiers of the Union, you took your appointed place. At the head of your company, and at the head of your regiment, you marched— quietly, unobtrusively, modestly marched, with your gallant soldiers. You and they withstood and passed through all tho perils and privations of the life of a soldier—hunger, and disease, and cold, and the midnight forced march through Avines and along procipices. All this you and they did cheerfully and patiently.

When at length, after many aweary day and weary march had passed, you and your soldiers stood upon the slopes of the everlasting mountains of Virginia, and the enemy stood in hostile array then it was that a glorious day of victory rested upon our standard. Then it was, down tho mountain sido, over barricade and battery, amid vollies of musketry, the roar of cannon and shrieks of the dying, rushed officer and soldier, with fiery valor, until the enemy, in wild confusion, fled from the stricken field. And when the smoke of battle rolled in clouds up the mountain side, tho flag of the Republic waved in triumph over the victors of Eich Mountain

But with the expiration of tho three

months your services did not cease.— The rebellion hud assumed gigantic proportions, and tho whole power of the Government was arousod to meet the rebellion. An extraordinary army was called into the field. In this struggle of a million soldiors, reaching from tho Potomac to the Mississippi, you was again needed. Kentucky, faithful among the faithless, struggled in the net of the spoiler. Her dark and bloody ground threatened to become darker and bloodier still, in the shock of contending armies After unparalleled marches and fatigues, your command reached her extreme southern limit. The enemy, confident in their strength, and impatient of delay.' hasten ed to offer the issue of battle.— From morning until night the carnage went on. From morning until night,

"Cannon to the right of you, Cannon to tho loft of you, Cannon in front of you

Volleyed and thundered

Long and doubtful was the issue.— Whole regiments, repulsed and broken to pieces, re-formed again and again to grapple with death for victory. Oh, terrible field of fratricidal blood!— Hundreds, the very demi-gods ol* liberty slept their last sleep forever. But at last, victory was shouted by thousands of patriotic voices, and as the sun went down, its departing raj-s lingered once more upon our honored'flag, still full high advanced, and beneath its folds of stars stood the hero of Lo an Fields

.V

—the conqueror of Zollicoffer! General Manson, for theso distinguished services we honor you. Every patriot honors you. The President of tho United States honors you. The exalted position you now hold is the result of your own gallant conduct.— You have won your own, yourself. It may be other honors await you. Be assured they will bo cheerfully accorded when other deeds done upon the battle-field demand thom. No obstacle can long stand between a gallant soldier and his just reward Whoever does so attempt will sooner or later be ground to dust between tho upper and nether millstone of popular condemnation. Go on, then go on, sir, in the path you havo already so gloriously trod.

On behalf of the people of Montgomery county, present tor your acceptance this beautiful ajvord. On it is inscribed the memorable words, "Rich Mountain—Logan Fields. Henceforth these names belong to history, and your name is associated with them forever, on its brightest page. Had j*ou no other heritage to bless your children, this alone would be sufficient. It is better than riches far better than silver and gold._ Take, then, this sword of honor. You have won it worthily. Wo all are confident

3*011

will wear it

bravdv I will only add that I trust that under the good Providence of God, you and I, and all of us, may once more soon behold, in the continued triumphs of the armies of tho United States, a united, prosperous and happy people under one Constitution, one Union, and one Government.

Gen. Manson expressed his thanks in reply, to the citizens of the county, and then, by tho unanimous wish of all, gave a detailed history of his com mand and the battle of Logan Fields vindicated himself, his regiment and officers and in conclusion, earnestly urged every man to stand firmly by the Government, uphold the hands of the President, and maintain the Union.

The beautiful silk Flag for Co. B, 10th regiment, was also placed in Gen. Manson's cai-e, to be presented to that company on his return to the arm}

After three cheers for the General, and three more for the Tenth, the crowd dispersed, glad that they had it in their power to do honor to the bravo. •.

Corinth, the point to which it is

said the rebels are now flocking in full force, is in the extreme northeastern corner of Mississippi at the junction of tho Mobile & Ohio with the Memphis & Charleston railroads. It is about 20 miles distant from Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee rivor, where Gen. Grant's army is entering.

Indiana's Sick Soldiers Coming Home. The following letter, says tho State Journal, which was received at tho Executive Office, Indianapolis, on Friday last, (28th ult.,) from Major James S. Wilson, will be read with interest by those having friends at the hospitals in Kentucky:

NATIONAL HOTEL, Louisville, Ky.,) March 27th, 1862. MY DEAR SIR I have succeeded in making arrangements with Dr. Perrin and Major Flint, who have entire charge of all troops this side of Bowling Green, to have all our men, who can be sent home, furloughed.

This morning Dr. Perrin issued orders to all the Post Surgeons to furlough every man, to repoi't to Major Flint at this place, who requires from fifteen to thirty days to get well, and they are beginning to leave by hundreds. I don't think I ever had a just conception of what gratitude was until I saw our boys after I had made this arrangement. Illinois and Ohio have men here to accomplish the same thing, but they have succeeded so badly that both have come to me to interfere in their behalf, and accomplish for them what had been so readily grantod to Indiana, which I did, of course.* I have been more than gratified at the success I havo met with in this matter, and feel proud of tho deference paid to the interests of Indiana, as every suggestion that I have made has boon carried out. ...

I havemado arrangements with Major Larnod to pay off all our men at home on furlough who havo not been paid. The arrangement is this: He will let us know at Indianapolis when ho can send a Paymaster, and we oan give notice that on a certain day all men belonging to a certain regiment, absent on furlough, will bo paid at Indianapolis and so on, successively, until all the men are paid. I think this thing is important, as many of theso men havo been in tho service six or seven months, and have never received a cent, and their families are suffering.

I havo made an arrangement with Dr. Perrin to have all the men (who can be) moved from all tho hospitals in the vicinities of the old camps, and sent here. They aro now bringing thom in as rapidly as possible. There will be about 200 in to-night. I have made an arrangement at the Nashville Depot, through the Sanitary Commission of this place, to have our men fed when they come in, and, if necessary, lodged until they can be sent homo.— This will bo dono without expense to the State.

Our men are now, under tho arrangements I have made, leaving rapidly, and, if carried out, all the hospitals will soon be emptied of Indiana men. Some energetic person should be here, on the ground, to carry out the details until the necessity shall cease. I sho'd havo gone on to Bowling Green and Nelson's Furnace, but there is so much here that requires my constant attention that I felt it my duty to stay. As stated before tho &ick are being transferred from those places as rapidly as possible, and in a very few days the hospitals there will be entirely broken up. Very truly yours,

j^-The New York Times thinks that the recent skirmish of Gen. Shields, at Winchester, is likely to be the last chance our army will have for a brush with tho enemy this side of the Gulf States, as Jackson's forces aro obviously only covering the retreat of their main army with a view to concentration

tho parallel of Memphis and

Charleston.

There is no danger that our gun­

boats and mortars at Island No. 10 will run short of ammunition. A gentleman writes to the St. Louis Republican from on board one of the gunboats under date of the 23d ult.: "Captain Sanford has 1,700 tons of shot and shell, including 50,000 rounds for gunboats, and 11,000 rounds for the mortars, an average of 500 rounds for each piece of ordnance in the squadron."

CRUMP'S LANDING, TENN., March 25th, 1862.

ED.

JOURNAL: Nothing of special interest has occured in this region since my last. A few miles South of this the rebels are pressing every man into service, and the Court House at Purdy is -Baid to b$ full of impressed men. Our scouts were in that neighborhood last night, and brought in as prisoner one of the rebel leaders. They threatened to burn overy rebel's house and hang this prisoner, if another Union man was disturbed. They are concentrating troops at Corinth, and have two regiments and ono battalion of cavalry at Purdy and some at Bethel. But if I mistake not, they are not informed as to tho movements which will bo made bjr our troops. It is evident to every observing mind that they are now on the last line of defense. Driven from that, and all hope is gone. They will be divided, cut to pieces, weakened at every point, and must surrender or sink into a guerrilla warfare, which could not be kept up many months.— Various opinions are held as to the battles which now seem near at hand. Some think that the rebels, driven to desperation, will fight with a determination unprecedented in this war others are of the opinion that the rccent Federal victories have so disheartened them, that a few shots will disperse them, and cause a general stampede or surrender. That there are a large number of impressed men now in the rebel army can no longer be doubted. They are raw recruits, badly armed, unwilling to fight, opposed to the rebellion, and will only add to the difficultios which now encompass them.

We now have a large army very near the grand Railroad connections which have given them

Buch

facilities

in concentrating their troops. By skilful manoeuvering, these roads can be seized or broken up, so as to isolate the different columns of their army, and thus deprive them of tho great advantage so long possessed.

I observe that some of tho New York papers regard the evacuation of Leesburg and Manassas as a masterty strategic stroke of the rebels, which will result greatly to their advantage taking their army nearer their supplies and removing ours farther from our supplies. That Gen. McClellan ought to have pushed on them in their retreat and converted it into a general rout, seems evident to all but retreats under such circumstances seldom inspire soldiers with confidence or bravery.— lt is impossible to communicate to the soldiers the reasons for such a policy. They "will attribute it more to fear than strategy. Their courage will fail and the}'- will not fight with that vigor which urges men on in an advance movement. But the questions do and will arise, Why did Gen. McClellan allow them to escape so quietly and take off SO much of thoir plunder? Why did he no#push forward Did he not know what they were doing? And if not, why this ignorance when the means of information were so numerous? The whole affair may have been well managed by our commanders, but it does not look well to us. The commander of the army of the Potomac must accomplish some brilliant achievement soon, or his high reputation will hot be suatained. Others, who have not held such high positions, and whoso fame has not been so brilliant, will suddenly rise above him and pluck bright honors from his grasp.

But I trust that each Department will be managed with consummate skill, and succeed in crushing the rebellion within its limits. It is not like lv that we shall move for several days. I have my own opinion as to the dolay, but can not express it. It is doubtless an act of wisdom.

One of the 11th Indiana soldiers died to-day of erysipelas. Hisnamo isBakei He will be buried this evening.— The health of this Division is improving. Tho weather is now very pleasant tho sunshines out delightfully.— Peach trees are in bloom. The song of the bird is again heard in tho land, and all nature is awakening from its long winter sleep. But the men of this region are not turning their attention to the arts of husbandry. Farmers are not preparing for their customary work planters and their slaves are alike idle, or ongaged on the military works, and the land given over to weeds, thorns and thistles. Under such circumstances, how can they look forward t© anything but starvation?— Their leaders urge them to plant no more cotton. If this advice is taken, they will have nothing to sell and food cannot be bought. The cry for bread from the famished negro will be more terrible than that which rung through the streets' of the French Capital and if bread .is not furnished, the blood of the master will flow like a stream.— This is but another effect resulting from Slavery, tho prolific source of all our ills. I trust the day is not far distant when this sum of all villanies will be swept from our land, to find no resting place in this civilized world.

Truly, T. W. FRY.

MORNING NEWS.

Despatches from Fortress Monroe, under date of 1st inst., says: A dispatch from Charleston says Gen. Evans advanced on North Edisto Islandwith 2,000 troops, but on finding Federals there he retreated in a masterly manner.

Tho gunboat Seminole arrived here this afternoon from Port Royal, bringing dates to Saturday last.

Fort Pulaski had been thoroughly invested for thirty days and was momentarily expected to surrender.

It is said there are about 500 rebels in Pulaski, and they had offered to go out with the honors of war but Gen. Sherman demanded an unconditional surrender and would on the firat of April open fire on them if they refused to yield.

The rebels have withdrawn all their forces from the coast of Georgia, and abandoned tho works at Thunderbolt Landing, and taken all their guns to Savannah.

The Seminole landed a force and destroyed Thunderbolt fort, which is within five miles of Savannah over a good shell road.

Rofugees from Savannah say that the friends of the troops inside of Pulaski had offered $30,000 to any one who would rescue them.

A refugee from Charleston represents that there is a great panic there since the^capture ofNewberne. Women and children are leaving, and the general expectation was that a terrible blow will be struck there.

Our forces Within Fifteen Miles of Corlntli. CINCINNATI, March 30.

A special dispatch to the Commercial, from Indianapolis says: "Gen. Buell has assumed command of our forces, and at last advices was within fifteen miles of Beauregard at Corinth, Miss. "Morgan's rebel cavalry captured another train on the Louisville & Nashville railroad on Friday. Col. Currin Pope, ©fKy., was taken prisoner, together with some other federal officers. The loccomotive was run into the ditch and the cars destroyed. "Parson Brownlow is expected here this week. The hospitalities of the State have been tendered him."

WINCHESTER. March 28.

Union prisoners who escaped from Mount Jackson prison, just arrived, saw eight wagons loaded with dead and wounded enter Mount Jackson on Monday, at 10 P. M., forty miles from the battle-field, in thirty hours. Tho rebels admitted that they had 11,000 men in the field, also that they lost between 1,000 and 1,500 in killed and wounded.

We are finding their graves at some distance from each side of the road.— The blow has struck terror to the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE") POTOMAC, March 27, 1862.

Brig. Gen. Shields: The Commanding General congratulates you and the troops under your command, on the victory gained by

own energy and activity and their bravery on the 23d. He is pained to learn that the wound you received in the skirmish, on the day before, is more serious than at first expected.

By command of M.aj. Gen. GEO. B. MCCLELLAN. A. S. Williams. A. A. G. Intelligence from Strasburg states that

that vicinity. Gen. Jackson, with the remnant of his army is supposed to be near Woodstock.

From the Gulf—Firing- Heard at tlie Mississippi Passes—Attack on Sew Orleans Momentarily

Expected—Intended Attack on ApalacSiicola, etc. NEW YORK, March 30.—The gunboat Iluntsville arrived this evening from Key West on the 25th. Tho Niagara, South Carolina, Mohawk, Water Witch, Marian, and eight other vessels wrere there. Heavy firing had been heard at tho head of the Mississippi Passes, where some of our vessels had gone.

Porter's fleet had all left Kej* West, also several gunboats. An attack on New Orleans was momentarily expected.

The expedition against Apalachicola contemplated finding considerable cotton there. The place is defended by thirteen guns and 3,000 rebels.

Vessels from Havana report a nninber of rebels vessels there. A Frcnch man of war from Vera Cruz, had twenty-seven yellow fever cases aboard.

The rebels captured on the Magnolia, report great preperations at New Orleans to resist an attack. Several gunboats are building martial law willsoon be proclaimed.

There is no truth in the capture of Yancey. He engaged passage on the captured schooner Mallory, but afterward changed to the schooner Break O'Day.

The Huntsville brings a lot of cottou.

Important Order. ST. LOUIS. March 31.

Gon. Curtis has issued the following order, dated Headquarters Army of the South-West, March 26th, 1862: "Charley Morton, Hamilton Kennedy, Alex. Lewis, colored men, formerly slaves, employed in the rebel service, are permitted to pass the limits of this command northward without let or hinderance, and are forever emancipated from the service of their masters, who allowed them to aid in tho effort to break up the Government and laws of our country.

Jeff. Davis Expected in Havana. David Gray, of the Buffalo C&urior, now sojourning in Cuba, writes to that paper:

A Havana merchant astonished me just now by expression ofi he opinion of many Cubans, tho idea that Jeff. Davis might be expected the guest of Havanna before many weeks. He asserted positively that the bulk of that slippery gentleman's cash is now on deposit in tho Bank of Havana.

Rebel Despair.

The following is an extract from a rebel letter found by one of our soldiers after tho capture of Fernandina, Florida: "NASHVILLE, TENN., Feb. 26.

DEAR SON: I have not much time to writo to you, for we are retreating from Nashville. Tho dammed Yankees have driven us out of our old quarters, and they will soon drive us out of this place. They are about 30,000 strong and fight like devils. I am afraid they will take Stephen for he only started yesterday. I don't think the South can hold out much longer, for tho people are starving to death—so are the soldiers up this way. I think they will rebel against themselves. Won't it be awful for us to havo to give up to the dammed Yankees?

Brownlow on the Blockade. Parson Brownlow in response to a serenade at Cincinnati said:

The blockade, lightly as it is regarded, is doing more to sew up the South than all your mortars and minie rifles. You can't buy a pair of boots at Knoxville under §15. Star candles sell at three for half a dollar. You can't buy a fine-tooth comb in all Knoxville, and, as a consequence, all the little Secession heads are invaded. "Cotton is King." but we can't make a spool of cotton thread to save us from the devil.

As for a paper of pins you couldn't find one with a search warrent. We inakenothing but cotton,tobacco.sugar, rice, and tho meanest kind of whiskey. Our people, officers and all, are on a big bust, and if they only keep drunk till a junction is effected between Grant and Buell, you can givo them the devil, and rub it in.

An Amusing Spectacle in Parliament. When tho vote was taken in the British Parliament on Gregory's motion calling for the papers between the two Governments in relation to the blockade, which was navigated without a division, there were present two remarkeable American personages on the floor. The ono was Thurlow Weed, looking as serene as if

uall

the back

counties wore heard from" and the election had gono right and the other was Senator Mason, the rebel commissioner,from whom all the electricity had been drawn.

There was a "high old time" in London when the news ofDonelson reached that village.

Island No. IO. ST. LOUIS, March 30.

Tho p.rmy correspondenct of the Republican, writing under date of Cairo, 29th, says:

The firing on Frida}-at Island No. 10 was quite heavy, the rebels opening with a new battery, mounted, it is supposed, with 128-pounders. The enemy could be seen cutting away the trees and rapidly pushing forward other means of defense. They seem to have no idea of evacuating at present, and are daily getting more guns into position.

Word reached the fleet last night that four rebels gunboats, partly clad with railroad iron, had appeared below Point Pleasant, but as Gen. Pope's batteries extended almost in a continuous line for 15 mrles, it is not believed they can force a passage.-

8@t,The troops ordered to Kansas some time since for the "Lane Expedition," are now being sent to other and more active fields of operation. For some weeks the)* had been collected at Fort Scott, but at last accounts they had been divided into nearly equal portions—about 5,000 each to reinforce Gen. Canby in New Mexico and Gen. Curtis at Pea Ridge. Among the troops ordered to New Mexico are the Wisconsin 12th and 13th. The Wisconsin 9th and 2nd Ohio cavaliy go to Gen. Curtis.

A GREACIAN BLOCKADE.—Thofollowing official notice has been issued from the State Department:

DEPARTMENT OP STATE, WASHINGTON, March 26.

The Government of Greece, in consequence of an insurrection which has taken place in Nauplia, has instituted a blockado of certain parts of tho Argolic Gulf.

The Nashville Patriot gives com­

plete statistics of tho rebel loss, at Ft. Donelson, which it bays may relied upon as more nearly approximating the truth than any yet published. The whole number of men engaged was 18,829 tlio number of killed 237 the number of wounded 1,007. 1

Emancipation of Slaves in Kentucky.

Spocial to the Evening Post.

WASHINGTON, April 2. -.

The President has received a letter from Gov. Andrew Johnson, dated at Nashvilie, representing that the secession feeling is very stsong in that city. .Tho mail contractors* who have arrived here from Kentucky, declare that that State will probably accept the plan of emancipation suggested by the President in his recent message.

Rebels ,Retreated to Edinburgh WASHINGTON, April 2. The following dispatch was received here to-day, dated Woodstock, Va. April 2nd:

We have driven the enemy to-day from Strasburg to Woodstock, 12 miles, and thence to Edenburg, 12 miles further.

The enemy contested sharply astrong position at Edenburg. We lost but one killed and one wounded.

Nominations of Indiana Brigadiers. The President has nominated Colonels Hovey, Kimball,

A special to the Times, from Island No. 10, 31st ult., says the river is falling several inches each day. The rebels have erected a large entrenched camp in the bend of the river, directly in front of our gunboats. An embankment half a mile long has heen thrown up on the shore behind which guns are mounted, large numbers being masked. There is 110 means of ascertaining what number of guns they have at this point. Several batteries, however, are plainly visible. The entrenchment extend from the center of the bend to tho upper part of the Island. They are constantly busy both with steamboats and men.

The mortars fired j^esterday and today every 15 minutes, with what effect it is impossible to decide. The shells are all thrown upon the Island. Tho rebels make no reply except by occasional shots at transports.

Occasional firing is heard in the direction of New Madrid, caused by tho batteries which are placed on the opposite side of the river below that place. Wo get no news from there.

Successful Expcdion. CHICAGO, April 1st. A special to the Journal, from Cairo, says that Col. Buford yesterday, accompanied by the 27th and 42nd Illinois, and a part of the 15th Wisconsin, from near Island No. 10. with a detachment of cavalry and artillery from Hickman, made a descent upon Union City, after a forced march of 30 miles fell upon a rebel encampment at 7 o'clock in the morning, dispersing tho entire force stationed there under Clay King. They fled in every direction.— Several of the enemy were killed and a number taken prisoners. A largo amount of spoils was eap'.urcd, 150 horses and commissary and quarter--master stores &c. We lost one man.— The rebel force numbered 700 infantry and between 700 and 8(10 cavalry.

SCAXMXAVIA.—A friend writes to us for our "real opinion" of Dr. Roback's Scandinavian Remedies —whore he can obtain them—and why they are called "Scandinavian," and wc are frequently nicked the same questions. Scandinavia is an ancient name of Sweden and Norway, and a Scandinavian, that is, a Swede or Norwegian, affectionately calli his country Scandinavia, in the same sens© as we speak of "Columbia," or "The Union." Bv the way, there are over nine thousand Scandiravian families in Dano county, Wisconsin.
