Whoever is not prepared to sacrefice party organ'iiations and platforms on the altar of his country does not deserve the support and countcnanco of honest people! llow nro we to overcome partizan antipathies in the minds of men of all parties so as to present a united frontin support of our country?

Wo must cease discussing party issues, m^kc no allusions to old party tests, have no criminations •i and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the ot-hor, as to tvho has been the cause of these troubles. "When weshall Have rescued the Govevnmcntand country from its perils, and seen its Bag floating in triumph over every inch of American soil, it will the'n be time enough to enquire as to who and what has brought these troubles anon lis. A\ hen we shall have a country and a Government for I our children to live in peace and happiness, it shall bo time for each of us to return to our party banners according to our own convictions ol light and duty. Let him be marked as no trucpatrict who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

CALL FOR A UXIOJV STATECOXTESTTIOIV OVER SIXTY THOUSAND of tho citizens of Indiana having voluntarily taken up arms for tho defense of the Government, and the preservation of of the Constitution and the liberties of the people, it is unbecoming those who remain at home to array themselves in partizan warfare against each other, wheu tho probable consequences must bo to prevent the resources of tho country from being applied to the support and maintenance of tho arm}*, to engender strife and discord, to withhold supplies for the war-worn soldiers, and recruits for tho ranks thinned by battle and may terminate in the demoralization of the army, and tho overthrow of constitutional liberty.

Therefore, most earnestly deprecating all efforts to keep on foot party influences, prejudices and discipline, all persons, Electors of Indiana, who are in favor of the vigorous prosecution of the war for the preservation of the "Union and the maintenance of the Constitution, and opposed to the disloyal Convention of the 8th of Januavy last, are, without respect to past political associations, invited to meet in Mass Convention, at Indianapolis, on the 18th of Juner.exl, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the offices of State, to be voted for at the next general election.

And to tho end that Indiana may continue to enjoy the high position with the other States which she has in the present war hitherto occupied, and that all the energies of tho State may be unitedly put forth for tho effectual suppression of the rebellion, that the Constitution may be respected, its authority acknowledged, and law and order once more established all over the land, it is earnestly hoped that all good citizens will, for the time, cast party aside, and unite for the country.

The State Convention. 'It will be seen from a call published elsewhere, that the Union State Convention will be holden at Indianapolis on Wednesday next, 18th inst. As no convention has been hold in this county for the appointment of Delegates, and tho proper time for the holding of such having passed, it is suggested that every truo Union man of Montgomery county, who is in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war, of upholding tho Constitution and the enforcement of laws and who is opposod to thb Bright convention of the8th of January, without regard to past political differences, consider himself a Delegate. Wc trust our county will be fully represented by good, sound Union nscn, irrespective of party.

O N I N N E W S

Fremont has a severe Fight Headquarters in the Field, Camp Port Republic,

Juno 8—9 A. M.

To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secy of War: The Army left Harrisonburg at 6. A. M., and at half past 8 my advance enaged tho rebels about 7 miles from that place near Union Church. The enemy was very advantageously posted in the timber, having chosen his own position, and having a smaller circle than our own with his troops en-masse. It consisted undoubtedly of Jackson's entire foi*ce. The battle commenced at 11 o'clock and lasted with great obstinancy and violence until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Some skirmishing and artillery firing continued from th,at time until dark.— Our troops fought occasionally under the murderous fire of greatly superior numbers, the hottest of the small arm firing being on the left wing, which was held by Stahl's brigade, consisting of five regiments. Tho bayonet and cannister shot were used freely and with great effect by our men.

The loss on both sides is vert grertt. Ours is very heavy among the officers. A full report of those who distinguished themselves will be made without partialility. I desire to say that both officers and men behaved Avith splendid gallantry, and that the servico of the artillery was especially admirable. We are encamped on tho field of battle, which may be renewed at any moment. [Signed,*] J. C. FREMONT.

Maj. Gen. Com'd'g.

The latest from Fremont's army, dated Harrisonburg, Juno 8tli, says Jackson made a stand at this point when our forces attacked him and that Gen. Stahl was on the left, supported by Gen. Bohn, and Gen. Mileoy in the center, supported on the right by Gen. Schenck. Gen Stemway had command of tho reserves. Skirmishing began between 10 and 11 o'clock and cannonading at 12. _y

Tho enemy had excellent position and directed their fire well, but few men were killed on our sido. Gen. Stahl made an advance nearly to the river, driving tho enemy back, but they precipitated their main column on him and he was compelled to fall back to avoid being flanked.

Up to three o'clock the cannonading was brisk, but after that it slacked and now at 5 o'clock everything is quiet.

It is stated our forces wore greatly outnumbered at all points, nevertheless occupied the rebel lines and forced them to retreat. The loss is reported heavy on both sides. The total loss is estimated at from 600 to 800 in killed, wounded and missing. The rebels fought wholly under cover, while our troops were forced to advance through an open field.

Southern Cavaliers vs Northern -Puritans. The following article appeared in the Louisville Bowling Green Nashville Courier during it's publication in the last named placc. It is worthy of republiction just now:

This has been called a fratricidal war by some by others an irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery. We respectful!}' take issue with the authors of both these sides. We are not the brothers of tho Yankees, and the slavery question is merely the pretext, not the cause, of the war. The true irrepressible conflict lies fundamentally in the hereditary hostility, the sacred animosity, the eternal antago: nism between the two races engaged.

Tho Norman cavalier cannot brook the vulgar familiarity of the Saxon Yankee, whilst the latter is continually devising some plan to bring down his aristocratic neighbor to his own detested level. Thus was tho contest waged in the old United States. So long as .Dickinson dough-faces were to be bought, and Cochrane cowards to be frightend, so long was the Union tolerable to Southern men but when, owing to divisions in our ranks, the Yankee hirelings placed one of their own spawn over as, a political connection became unendurable & seperation necessary to preserve our self-respect.

As our Norman kinsmen in England, always a minorit3r, have ruled their Saxon countrymen in political vassalage up to the present day, so have wc, the "slave oligarchs," governed the Yaukecs, till within a twelve month. We framed the Constitution, for sevent}- years moulded tho policy of the Government, and placed our own men, or "Northern men with Southern principles," in power.

On tho 6th of November, 1860, tho Puritans emancipated themselves, and are now in violent insurrection ngainst their former owners. This insane holiday freak will notlast long, however, for dastards in fight, and incapablo of self-government, they will inevitably agkin fall under tho coutrol of the superior race. A few more Bull Run thrashings will bring them once more nnder tho voke as docile as the most

Dr. FRY AT HO«E.

Our fellow-townBman Surgeon T. W. Fry, on account of ill health, returned homo on Friday^ evening last. 'The Doctor has been in bad health the greater part of the time since tho battle of Shiloii so mucli so that he was entirely unable for the duties dovolving upon a Division Surgeon and has therefore come homei, that his decline may bo more speedily restored. He will return to headquartors, near Corinth, as soon as, health and strength will permit.

Three Months' Service. The Adjutant General declines to accept any more companies for the three months service. A surplus of some fifteen companies have already been refused, a sufficient number having been accepted. The Crawfordsvillo company, which was being rapidly filled up, will, we suppose, suspend operations for the present.

gass^Lieut. James Wilson, of General Manson's staff, is now in tho city.— Health good.

MASOS5C.

At a stated meeting of Montgomery Lodge, No. 50, Free and Accepted Masons, held Saturday evening, June 7th, tho following officers wero elected to serve during the ensuing year:

Wm. C. Vance, W. Master Harvey Shanks, Senior Warden Frank L. Bowen, Junior " A. S. Hughes, Secretary Jno. H. Shue, Treasurer Joseph Henry, Senior Deacon S. L. McClure, Junior " Paul Hughes, Tyler.

ROBB & Mahorney The above named gentlemen have recently formed a co-partnership, and are now receiving and opening out in our midst in the Stove and Tin-ware trade, in all its branches. They occupy the south room of the McClelland Hall building, the one formerly occupicd by Blair & Cumberland and contemplate entering the trade upon a somewhat extensive scale—at wholesale and retail. The new firm are well known in town and country as energetic business men and will spare no pains to give entire satisfaction to their patrons. They have experience, and know that "a man's a man" the world over, and will so be found by those favoring them with a call. Mr. Robb, as is known by many of our many citizens (having been engaged for the past eight years as foreman in the establishment of Mr. C. Johnson, of this city, is second to no man of his trade in the west. Mr. Mahoney will devote the principle part of his time to the sale room, a place to which he is peculiarly adapted. We notice also that the new firm have secured the services of our German friend Gus BAPPERT, formerly and for many years, in the employ of

Mr. John Hoover. In conclusion, we will just state that this stock, when all received, will embrace everything in this line of trade. Call and see them farmers, when in town:

BguWiso's fi°e assortment of summer Dry-Goods is now coming in clai \y. Mr. S. Wise, senior partner of the firm, who lately left Lafayette en route for Europe, stopped at New York and Philadelphia long enough to make a fine selection of Dry-Goods of every description, very haudsomo dress goods, real neat assortment of silk and lace mantillas, and very cheap a very nice selection of prints, and a full assortment of domestics. That Wises' is tho cheapest dry goods house in Crawfordsvillo is an established fact, and as the entire Btock of this season was bought for cash, they are being sold at astonishingly low prices When you come down street make it a point to call and examine their new stock.

Strawberry Festivals. It should be remembered that the Sabbath School of the Methodist Episcopal church gives a Strawberry Festival at McClelland's Hall this evening.

Also, that a like entertainment is advertised by tho Ladies for Tuesday evening next, in Basement of Centre Church.' ...

UNION ICE-CREAM SALOON.—We notice that our young friends Wilhite & Newell are now busily engaged in fitting up an Ico-Cream Saloon over Craig's Bakery, They will have every thing in apple-pie order and in operation before the close of the week.

Rebel Loss at Richmond. NEW YOKE, June 9: Tho Richmond Dispatch states that the rebel loss in the late battle was 8,000, including 5 Generals, 23 Cols. 10 Majs. and 27 Captains. Tho Dispatch complains that the Federals can at any time cut off the retreat of the Confederates by soizingthe railroad at Petersburg and. intimates that the retreat to Lj'Ochburg and the mountains was the only one left to them.

A HARD FIGHT.

Tho Lafayette Journal of yesterday says: "By a brief dispatch to the President of th.o Chicago Sanitary Committoo, we are informed that Gen. Mitchel has had a hard fight with tho rebels at Chattanooga, Tennessee. Wo have no particulars more than the bare statement that the battle lasted two days, and that he succoeded in completely routing the enomy. Chattanooga is situated in Southeastern Tennessee, just above the northwest corner of Georgia, and very near the boundary line between those two States.: This• place* Gen Mitchell, very near the great line of railroad which passes through Knoxville from Richmond to Atlanta, Ga., and from that place connecting with all the principal places in Georgia and South Carolina. It is a bold and important stroko."

The Great Scare at Charleston. [From the Charlos.ton Mercury, May 23.] On Wednesday three of the enemy's gunboats shelled the pickets on Battery Island, six of whom, mistaking their orders, took refuge in a bombproof, where they were captured by a largor party. Cole's and Battorj' Island were ovacuated, everything moveable being carried off and the barracks on the latter Island burned. In the afternoon the enemy passed through tho unfinished piling to a point above Battery Island At night one Sergeant "YV.il.son was caught by the Confederate pickets in tho act bf deserting to the enemy. It is said that two heavy guns were abandoned on our outer line of defence, The enemy are vigilantly observed and all their movements reported but the general opinion is that half a dozen heavy guns on Colo's Island could have kept them out of the river.— Their presence has occasioned the removal of a largo force of negroes, and the loss of the crops and stock .on several plantations.

By the possession of Stono, only James Island intervenes between the enemy and the city of Charleston, from which they are distant eight miles as the crow flies.

From Fremont's Column. '^WASHINGTON, June 10. The following was received at the War Department this morning:

Head quarters'in the field, Harrisonburg, Va., June 7—9 P.M. To Hon. E. M. Stanton:

Tho attack upon the enemy's rear 3resterday precipitated his retreat.— Their loss in killed and wounded was very large. Their retreat is by an almost impassable road, along which many wagons were left in the woods, and wagon loads of blankets, clothing and equipments are piled up in all directions. During the evening many of the rebels were killed by shell from a battery of Gen. Stahl's brigade.

Gen. Ashby who covered the retreat with his whole cavalry force and three regiments of infantry, and who exhibited admirable skill and bravery, was among the killed.

Gen. Milroy made a reconnoissance to-day, about seven miles on the Fort Eepublic road and discovered a portion of the enemy's forces encamped in the timber.

J. C. FREMONT Maj. Gen. Commanding.

WASHINGTON, June 8.

There is no doubt of tho fact that the President has, in a official letter thro the Secretary of War to Gov. Stanley, disapproved of his closing the schools at Newbern, under an alleged authority of his commission as Military Governor of North Carolina. His duties the President regards as of an entirely diffet'ont character. He has nothing to do with the opening or closing of schools. The President also holds that the fugitive slave law is to be executed through the Courts above, and not by Military Governors more than by other military officers. ..These facts aro positive.

The President is examining into the case of soldiers imprisoned in the pennitentiary here, under tho sentence of General Courts. The Marshall has already granted several pardons.

Intelligence, official and unofficial, from North Carolina, does not confirm the reports of writers whose letters have led to the belief that the State is upon the point of returning to her loyalty. Gen. Burnsides is far from desiring that any of his forces, naval or military, should be withdrawn.

TheFlfcct on James River. NEW'YORK, Juno 7. The Fortress Monroe corespondent of the Philadelphia Press, under date of the 5th says:

From City Point I learn to day, thai our vessels In the James Kiver, above City Point, have run tho batteries at Drury's Bluff, and it is rumored that the Monitor has passed through the obstructions sinking tho rebel gunboat about Richmond. If this be truo the Monitor is at Rockets. A number of powerful gunboats have been sent up the river during the past two or three days, and our fleet before Richmond is now quite formidable, consisting of at least six vessels, armed with tho very best of naval ordinance.

FROM IIALLECR'S ARMY. Halleck's Headquarters, Monday, June 9. j" Tho federal forces now occupy Baldwin and Guntown on the Jackson,,and Bolivar R. R.

Repairs aro progressingrapidly. Tho onemy passed Guntown last night, retreating southward from Baldwin. iM. e.ra iJtr

It is estimated that 20,000 have deserted since they left Corinth, mostly from tho Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas regiments.

All the regiments- from these States passed down closely guarded on both sides by Mississippi and Alabama soldiers.

It is believed by the country people that Beauregard cannot enter Columbus with one half the troops he brought away from Corinth.

The whole country north and northeast of Baldwin is full of armed soldiers returning from Tennessee and Kentucky.

Gen. Pope telegraphs from the advance that prisoners who desire to be exchanged now wish to take the oath of allegiance.

The enemy drove and carried off everything for miles around. The wealthiest planters are destitute, and starving women and children are crying for food. The males have been forced into the army of the enemy, which" is eaid to be suffering greatly for food.

Full Particulars of the Taking of Memphis. CAIRO, line 8.

Tho regular packet Platte, the first boat through from Memphis, arrived here this morning.

Our forces are in possession of Memphis. The flotilla, consisting of five gunboats and"8 rams, left Fort Wright at 2 o'clock on Thursday morning. On finding no obstructions at Fort Randolph they passed on, and at 8 o'clock on Thursday evening the gunboats anchored two miles aboveMemphis. The rams remained a short distance above. A recconnoissance was made, and the enemy's fleet, (consisting of the following: Gen. "Van Dorn (flag ship') Gen, Price, Gen. Bragg, Gen. Lovfcll, Jeff. Thomson, Beauregard, Sumter and Little .Rebel,) were discovered lying near Memphis.- During the night the rebel.fleet moved down the river, and at daylight were out of sight, but in a half an hour afterwards were seen coming up formed in line of battle.— Our gunboats had in the meantime weighed anchor, and followed by several rams moved slowly towards the rebel fleet, when-a shot from the Little Rebel, from a rifled gun of long range, foil within a short distance of the gunboat Cairo, which was in the advance. The Cairo immediately replied with a broadaido. Soon the engagement became general at long range. The rams in tho meantime advanced and the rebel ram Beauregard, being some distance in advance, was singled out by the federal rams Monarch and Queen of tho West, each striving to be the first to strike the rebel craft. The Monarch succeeded in striking her midships, almost cutting her into two and causing her to fill and sink immediately in the channel directly opposite the city.

At this juncture tho Little Rebel made a dash at the Monarch, hich at this time was in the midst of the rebel fleet, but by the skilful management of the pilot of the later, she dropped out of the way, and the blow intended for her struck the rebel bout Gen. Price, taking away her wheel and making it necessary for her to run ashore, when she sent a shot which, unfortunately for tho rebels, struck the Gen. Lovell, rendering her unmanageable. Immediately alter she was run down by the Queen of the West.

A broadside from tho Benton took effect on the sides of tho Jeff. Thompson which ran ashore in flames and burned to the waters edge.

Four robel Louts having been di.S£ibled, the ijiR'iiiV rotreated down the river pursued hy our gunboats filing as they advanced.

The advance resulted in the capture of the Sumter, Bragg and Little Rebel^, which had been abandoned by most of their crews.

Capt. Montgomery the flag officer, and most of the officers and men succeeded in making their escape to the woods on tho Arkansas shore.

The ^federal, ram Lancaster, struck by the Beauregard early in the enoragement, was slightly disabled.

Col. Eliet, commanding the federal rams, was struck in the breast bv a splinter and was temporarily stunned, but soon recovered and continued on deck throughoutthe action. This was the only casuality on our side.

Our rams were manned by sharpshooters, mostly from Illinois, who did good service in picking ofi the eneinj funners at every opportunity.

The rebel loss'in killed, wounded and prisoners is heavy, but not yet full} ascertained.

Our tugs wcro busily engaged picking up the crew ot their disabled boats.

After the return of the 2unboa..s

from the pursuit, Com JJavis sent vnc following note to the .Mayor of Memphis:

U. S. Flag steamer Benton, off Memphis. June 6. SIR: I have respectfully to request that you will surrender tho city of Memphis to the United States whom I have the honor to represent.

I am respectfully C. 11. DAVIS 1^-1 ag officer.

In roply the Mayor said: '"'Your note is received. In reply 1 have only to say as the civil authorities have no means of defence, by force of circumstances the city is in your hands."

Immediately after bouts crew landed and the national flag was hoisted over tho post office. Ihe party was followed by an excited crowd, but was not interfered with.' The 43d and 46tb Indiana regiment now occupy theplace Col. Fitch in command.

The city is quiet. No demonstrations whatever have been made, and it is even asserted it will not be necessary to declaro martial law.

Five of our gunboats now lie abreast of the city. We captured five largo steamers which were moored at the levee.

^SrDr. Alfred Booth, of Lowell, formerly of Springfield, Mass., has published an article broaching the novel theory that the wearing of cotton next to the skin is a cause of consumption. If this should be confirmed, comments the Springfield Republican, the destruction of "King Cotton" may prove a great blessing instead of an evil.

Address of Gen. McClellan to his Troops. IIEADQ'TP.S OP GEN. MCCLELLAN) Army, Tuesday evening, June 3.

The following address was read to the army this evening at dr.ess parade, and received with an outburst of vociferous cheering from every regiment'.

CAMP NEAR NEW BRIDGE, Juno 2. Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac: I have ulifill'ed at least apart of my promise to you. You are now face to face with the rebels, who are held at bay in front of the capital.

The final and decisive battle is at hand. Unless you belie your past history, the result cannot bo tor a moment doubtful. If the troops who labored so faithfully and fought so gallautl3r at Yorktown, and who'so bravely won the bard fights at William&borg, West Point, Hanover Gourt House and Fair Oaks, now prove worthy of their antecedents, the victor}7issurely ours.

The events of every day prove your superiority. Wherever you have met the enemy you have beaten him.— Wherever you have used the bayonet, he has given way in panic and disorder.

I ask of you now one last crowning effort. The enemy has staked his all on the issue of the coming battle.— Let us meet him and crush him hero in the center of the rebellion.

Soldiers! I will be with vori in this battle, and share its dangers with you. Our confidence in each other is now founded upon the past. Let us strike a blow which is to restore peace and union to this distracted land.

Upon your valor, discipline and mutual confidence the result depends. GEO. B. MCCLELLAN. ...
