Whoever is not prepared to sacrifice party pfganitations and platforms on the altar 6f his "country does uot deserve the support apd countcnance 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? We must cease discussing party issues, make no allusions to old party teats, have no criminations and recriminations, indulge in no taunts one against the other, s.s to who has been the cause of these troubles.

When we shall have"rescued the Government and country from its perils, and seen its^fiag floatingin 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 vc shall have a country and a Government for our children to lire in peace and happiness, it shall be time ror each o'f us to return to our party banners according to our own convictions of right and dnty. Let him be marked as no true patriot who will not abandon all such issues in times like these. —[Dougla# at.Chicago. ,j j...-.

THE NEWS.

., The Lafayette Journal of this morning states that there is not probably one word of truth in the rumor of the taking of Richmond. Is telegraphic, therefore given to the public. Further that the telegraph was perfectly silent last night, in reference to the battle near Richmond, nothing whatever coming over the wires. As it is, we have yet to wait for anything definite from the recent, and doubtless bloody engagement near the rebel Capital.

MORNING NEWS.

Rumored taking of Richmond.

i. Federal loss supposed 10,000. NEW YORK, July, 2. The Tribune's Fortress Monroe correspondent of the 30ih says the gunboats in the James river had established communication with Gen. McClellan's left wing. Dispatches to flag officer Goldsboro on Monday are said to state that the rebel attack on our right was a desperate affair in which the rebels lost 5,000. .men. Our loss ver}' heavy. Gen. Stoneman being cut off from the right had retreated to Yorktown and had arrived at Fortress Monroe.

It is further stated that on his left McCIellan with severe fighting had passed through White Oak Swamp with 40,000 men and 100 pieces of artillery to secure an advantageous position and had subsequently cut throngh a line of communication with the James river, It is reported that during the two (lays' fighting McClellan's loss was 10,000.

Col Alexander had come through to James river to select the new base, and Turkey Bend had been decided-upon. This is about 30 miles from Richmond and ten miles above City Point..

The York river is being cleared of everything moveable. Steamers and tugs are constantly arriving,.at Fortress Monroe, having tow barges, Bchooners, &c.

This morning the stealer SpauldiDg arrivpd paving eight barges and schooners in tow. She reports that 150 barges schooners and tow boats were at York town when she left,butall were making preparations to come down.

Reports are current to-day that Gen. McCIellan has taken Richmond, but there is no good authority for the rumor. The telegraph is not at work and no boat from the James river, although one is hourly expected.

°3GEXERAL WALLACE. Major General Lew. Wallace-arriv-ed in this city on Frida}' evening last. He comes amongst us—for a few days only—to visit his family and friends. He is in thq enjoyment of his usual good health. Long may he live.

Captain Jas. Ross, member of Gen. Wallace's staff and Captain John, Cliven, of company "I," of the proud old Zouave regiment, are also on a visit to their friendsJU) this place.

General Wallace, (accompanied by Captain Ross,) took his departure for Washington City, on the morning train (sonth) yesterday: He may probably take Crawfordsville in the way on his rettirrt to rejoin his division.this however, wq are not fully ajiyigeii., JL

We have hacl tdo much of it. Tinsel, trappings, gold laco, brass buttons and shoulder-straps have lost their charms. The humbuggery of war is being fairly exposed in thifc tige.—Review, 28th.

What does this mean Charles? Let us examine the facts for a moment.— "Major Generals." We know of but one Major General who has ever honored' our town with his presence, and that one is our townsman and your old triend, Gen: Wallace. Is this the greeting you give him on returning from fifteen months constantand severe service in behalf of his country, with hardly one day's rest at home during that time? Have the "pomp a,nd circumstance" of his coming so bewildered your usually keen, steady and penetrating mind, as to cause you to forget the common civilities of civilized life? How does your notice of his arrival compare with the fulsome homage you rendered to Gen. Manson on his recent visit, and 'why the difference. Have you suddenly sickened of the "'trappings" and "tinsel" of war, or is this outburst of generous and patriotic feeling towards the defenders of your country only a premonition of the part the 8th of January men have assigned you? Wo would advise you, friend Charles, to run up an additional flag in front of your office for overy such ovation JTOU tender to our brave soldiery for be assured it will take all the flags you can flutter to keep "the pomp and circumstance" of your loyalty from "playing out," under such unwonted draughts on your patriotism. KK

"-'••-jSTThe Memphis correspondent.of the Chicago Tribune says: "It is said that Gen. Lew. Wallace goes home under, disgrace. He is reported to have been severehr reprimanded by General Halleek for entering Memphis without orders."

General Lew. Wallace comes home respected and admired by the people of Indiana, and it don't lie in General Haljeck's power to "disgrace" him by any reprimand. .We have seen too much of Gen. Halleck's arrogance to think it any disgrace for another General to be lectured by him for doing a sensiblo act. But this is the first we have heard of the "reprimand," and we doubt if it is not one of those "sensation" stories for which the telegraphic correspondence of the Tribune is notorious.—State Journal. -—During Gen. Wallace's stay in our midst wc heard not the least intimation of reprimand or "disgrace," and think wo are safe in asserting that the whole thing, from beginning to end, is a miserable fabrication of a lying correspondent—nothing, more.

CONORESSIONAL—The Senate has papsed tho bill establishing arsenals for deposits and repairs of arms at Columbus, Indianapolis and Rock Island, and appropriates $100,000 for the erection of each. They will bo the same as tho Springfield, Mass., arsenal, except that they will only repair and not manufacture.

Gen. Cocke—5Iaj. Anderson*

It will be remembered, that shortly after the fall of Fort Sumter, a certain General Cocke of New Orleans, published a letter to Major Anderson stating that he owed the Major about $30,000, but he meant to pay it to the Confederate Government. It excited a good deal of comment at the time, both on account of the cool impudence of the proceeding, and thefame ofthe defrauded creditor. By the Sunday Delta of the 8th we learn the following in regard to this, General Cocke, and his repudiated debt: iGeneral Cocke, of this city, is in a "tight place." JuBt beforo the.war broke out he announced that he would never pay his Northern debts. Among his creditors was Major Anderson, of Kentucky, the defender of Fort Sumter. Cocke owed him $25,000 or $30,000. Cocke owns a good deal of property ill this city. Already $50,000 worth of property of it has been seized by order of Gen. Butler. It will be confiscated, and we trust that Major Anderson Will be paid out of tho proceeds. ".

Gen. Wallace at Memphis. A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, writing from Memphis Tennessee, draws the following sketch ol the gallant Gen. Wallace: ". '•Last evening, in company with some others of the Bohemian tribe, I called on Major-General Lew. Wallace, who has established bis headquarters at the Gayoso House. If I wero attempting to give you my ideal of what tho physique of a gallant soldier should be, I think I should get Gen. Lew. Wallace, to sit for his portrait. He is yet a young man, not over thirty-five I should say, a trifle under tho medium height, rather thin, and has that fine, pale olive complexion, which we seldom see except in men of marked character, and which contrasts attractively with his glorious beard and moustache and his deep-set piercing eyes. His manners, also, are slightlj' tinged with that modest, Knightly grace which makes yon think of the chivalric Bayard or Roland Do Guesclin."

NEW YORK, Juno 30.

The following,is the New York Tribune's report .of. the battle: Thursday, about noon the rebels mado an attack: on Gen. Stoneman's forces in the vicinity of Hanover Court House, probably for the purpose of accomplishing an outflanking movement on tho right, and to engage pur attention in that quarter. Shortly after they commenced a'vigorous cannonading from an eminence opposite Mechanicsville, about a mile distant, also from two batteries, ono above and tho other below. They were replied to by Campbell's Pennsylvania batteries, which were on picket duty on the Mechanicsville road, opened upon the enen.13' from behind earthworks at the right of a grove.

About two P. M., the enemy's infantry and squadrons of cavalry crossed the Chickahominy in immense force a tihort distance beyond the Virginia rajlroad, making a rapid advanco towars McCall's division, who was entrenched in a hilly woodland, across a sWampy ravine about a mile in the rear of Mechanicsville. The 1st Pennsylvania Rifle Bucktails and Campbell's battery were on picket duty all of whom, except one company, fell back behind the breastworks and rifle pits where a line of Battle was formed. Company K, which was on picket duty beyond the railroad and the greater portion of them it is presumed surrendered. The enoray advanced down in the rear of Mechanicsville on a low marshy ground to' where our forces were drawn up in line of battle behind earthworks, op an eminence at the northerly side of tho ravine when

the

conflict became most desperate. The cannonading was kept up till four o'clock P. M., when the battle ceased. Our forces were covered with earthworks and suffered but slightly. Later in the afternoon the enemy made a charge with cavalry. About ono hundred of them came rushing down and attempted to cross the river when theii* horses became mired. A squadron of our cavalry seeing their position made a charge down hill, when the rebel cavalry abandoned their horses and fled. Tho infantry fight

then renewed and according to tho statement of my informant, the fight continued till about soven o'clock in the evening, when a retreat was ordered.

Of the next day's battle the correspondent says tho cannonading and musketry mw terrific. Duryca's gallant Zouaves were lying upon the ground for'two hours while our batteries were shelling the woods over them. Finally, towards night, the enemy attompted to break the centre line in front of Duryea's" Zouaves.— The musketry firing became terrific lasting twenty or thirty minutes Shortly after an attempt was made to break through the right, which was repulsed, and half an hour later another attempt was made with same result. The battle had then been raging fdi* somo hours without an}' apparent change or advantage on either side.

from the river, Thomas F. Meagher's Irishmen came over the hill, stripped to the bare arms, and were ordered to 'go in.' They gave a yell and wont to work, and the result was that the enemy fell back to the Woods. Thus matter's stood up to Sunday morning."

At dark an attempt was made along tho front of the entire line, and was renewed at two in the morning in front of Gens. Hooker, "Kearney, and Sumner, without material rosult.

Another correspondent says of Friday's battle. Twice all along the front did the rebels attack our lines, our rifle pits and redoubts. Porter with fifty cannon and Sumner, Hooker, and

In was a virtual surrendering or vaca ting a loftg line of defences, heretofore kept up to Mechanicsville in order to have the whole force within a more effective distance, also to allow the rebels to follow up, and if possible, to bag them. McCIellan ordered Porter to withdraw to three miles this side of Gaines' mills, early on Friday morning, which waa done, the enemy following up, thinking they had gained a victory-. Our troops moved slowly back, in order, fighting as they went, crossing the Chickahominy and reached the position designated. The rebels followed in great force, and by 3 o'clock P. M. there was a general and heavy

engagement,

lasting till 7 ciock,

when it terminated, but the rebels renewed it again, with greater ferocity than before, having been reinforced. Our men stood the unequal contest like heroes and did fearful execution. Our forces wero increased by Generals Slocum's Palmer's and Meagher's brigades, when tho rebels were badly .beaten. ....

Meagher's brigade went into battle with their coats off and sleeves rolled up, fighting like tigers.

The ground whiish Gen. McCIellan ordered Gen. Porter to hold and occupy was occupied and held. In the first, part of the day Gen. Porter's corps only, contended against tho rebels but subsequently reinforcements swelled his forces to 45,000. The rebels had 60,000 men, under Generals Leo, Hill and Anderson.

-undfer his direc

tion, and their duties, will be, in brief, as follows, namely:— jT/yst—A collector for each collection district, to bo appointed by the President, with the' Consent'of th6 Senate, 'whose duties will be to collect for the government the taxes to be paid in said district. The compensation for his services is in the form of commissions on the amounts collected.

Second—An Assessor for each assessment district, to be also appointed by the President, whose duty it will be to furnish tho collector with a list of the persons to bo taxed and the articles on which the taxes are levied.— His salary is to be three dollars per diem when engaged in preparation, and five dollars when in the actual performance of his duties as Assessor. He is also to receive a commission of one dollar for each hundred names on the tax list.

Third—Deputy collectors to be appointed and paid by collectors. Their duties are to be to act as assistant.

Fifth—Inspectors of liquors, &c., to be appointed by collectors, whose duties will be to measure and examine the proof of liquors removed for sale, for which they are to receive fees from the owner thereof, the extent of which is to be fixed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

Tho officers above classified are to carry into effect the provissions of the bill, and are to beheld strictly accountable for their actions. Collectors, thr whose hands -must pass very large sums of money will bo required to give hca%'y bonds for

President has signed the

bill prohibiting slavery in the territories. It is now a law. Here it is in full:

To the end that freedom may be and remain forover the fundamental law ofthe land in all places whatsoever, so far as it lie^ within the power or depends upon the action of tho Government of tho United States to mfike it so, therefore, "Be it enacted' That from and after tho passage of this act, there shall bo neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in any of the territories of the United States now existing, or which may at any time hereafter be formed or acquired by the United States, otherwise than in punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convictcd."

FROM WASHINGTON. "WASHINGTON, June 30. It is James F. Meline, not Malone as erroneously printed in Saturday's' Commercial» who is appointed Major on Pope's staff.

Gen. Sigel's acceptance of the command vacated by Fremont, is considered an earnest of efficency and true soldierly skill in the conduct of that Division of the army.

Generals Banks and M.cDowell both continue in command. Gen. Pope is in constant communication with all three by telegraph, and busily organizing his military plans.

Last night's excitement has almost wholly subsided in the cit}\ ..s, The expulsion of Senator Simmons, for bribery, though well deserved, is not regarded probable. The Republicans are lacking in back bones, Dut if they don't disown and expel Simmons, they will deserve the reputation of shielding as rank corruptionist as the Buchanan Democrats.
