How are wo to overcome partizan antipnUiiesih the mind's 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 tests, liavc no criminations and rocriminationsj indulge in no taunts one against the other, as to who has been the cause of these troubles.

When 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 be tiino 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 poaeeand happiness, itshall 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 in times like these. —[Douglas at Chicago.

BATTLE OF CULPEPPER. [Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.] BATTLE-FIELD NEAR

CEDAR RUN, Aug. It),

On Friday last, ah ubexpeetcd movement was made by 'thftjjcombined forces of Jackson, Longstroet and Ewell, upon our advanced' position along the R^pidan. The evident iritehtioh of tb« different sections of our army at Fredericksburg, Culpepper and Madison was to move forward upon'lTie iive turnpikes with men from each of those placcs and concentrate at Orange Court House. .From this point

tthe

united forces o| the gran4 army of Yirginiiv wore to advance upeh Gordojuavillo, which is nine miles distance there from.

Jackson foresaw the intention and determined to prevent it. This he did by a sudden' a'nd unexpected movement across the Rapidan upon our centre column before we had time to move our forces, as it had been anticipated wo should, which was his purpose, to fight, as he has always managed to do, in detached portions. It was necessary for him to delude us with the supposition that ho was advancing in overwhelming numborsiupon us at all points and from all directions. This he also succeeded in doing to a considerable degveo, but as soon as he had produced the impression upon the seperated columns that he ^vas about to attack them all ho rapidly concentrated his whole available force, which he had brought to bear upon our centre. All day on Friday he was threatening the forces at Madison, on the Thoroughfare Mountain, at Culpepper, and at the same time pretended to be sending out upon the flank of each of these positions a force for the purposo of surrounding and capturing them. By this means each force believing its communication with Culpepper, to bo cut off, was prevented from forming a main column, and retreated! to Woodville, and were unable to throw their weight into the scales on the following Saturday. The signal station on Thoroughfare being threatened, a force was drawn off from Culpepper to strengthen it.|K -yr

A detachment having been thrown out by Jackson to a point between Culpepper and Frcdericksburg. it was thought dangerous to advance too far towards the Rapidan for fear of being outflanked, and so the detachmonts of tho Army of Virginia were kept apart. This gave Jackson an opportunity of choosing his own point of attack, .'i '1

Accordingly, on Friday afternoon, he commenced a rapid union of his scattered forces, and on Saturday, threw them against that part of the corps of General Banks' which had been' thrown forward to a point midway between Culpepper Court House and tho Rapidan. General Bayard's cavalry brigade had been holding a bridge at Rufus' Ford, and was of course easily driven in upon the advance of the enemy in force, not, however, without having given them evidcncc of his bravery in capturing quite a number of their officors and privates. Goneral Ci'awford brigade was ordered out to support Bayard, whom ho met retreating from the enemy in tho vicinity of Cedar Run.— This was on Friday afternoon. These two brigades, with the aid of three batteries of artillery, kept back the enemy, who probably, not having yetgathered in their forces had no desire to push them farther at that time, as they were then admirably situated for the operation of their artillery, when they should get ready their forces for an attack. From all parts the detachments from tho enemy came pouring bftck, and they had carefully refrained from going so far that this could not be easily effected. General Banks' remaining corps was next morning pushed rapidly to the front under orders from General Popo to feel the enemy and attack him. Our scattered army was incapable of concentrating a number equal to tho work of conquering antl repulsing the masses which Jackson had brought together upon tho admirable position-he had chosed, south of Cedar Ruw, and the onemy had placed their guns upon a large number of excellent positions, which were estimated by the experienced to number six batteries.. Their infantry was entirely concealed by convenient stretches of wood. They were reported by several prisoners to have been twenty-five thousand fighting men. Our own artillery exceeded, theirs in the number and value of the guns yet much difficulty was experienced by Captain Best, chief of the artillery in finding for it suitable positions. Ten battallions were in his command while only thirty guns cod be placed in position. Our infantry was in two divisions, General Williams on the right and General Augur on tho loft of William!s division.— Crawford's brigade was on the right to Gordon, upon the left of Geary's Princo and Green were the.Generals commanding tho brigades of General Augur's division. Tho morning was occupied in arranging the forces and the plan of battle, neither party showing an inclination to hasten tho commencement of hostilities. At two and and a half o'clock the cannonading was commenced and continod' with increased rapidity and severity for an hour and a half. Captain Best, a regular United States army officer, served with his greatest skill bis fine Napoleons, and was constantly at different points of the field, superintending tho management of his guns.— One of his best Bmooth bores was lost, and its caissons, though not captured, wero abandoned on axscourtt of the breaking of the carriages.

Having kept up a' most raprd and constant .firo for an hour and,a hjvlf without having discovered the ^r^cise, position of tho enemy, General Banks gave o'rders to Crawford to advance upon the enemy and ascertain h'is forcc and position, and disp6§i.tj(5p.. to be drawn into actio®. The division emerged from its sholter int6.the. '6pen field & the column moved steadily toward the wood, in which they wor*. hiding aS they d^ew

le3rs and then in file tho enemy poured into them such torrents of slugs and buckshpt as might have made a veteran falter. Yet they hesitated not, oveh when i^eir officer^ were faltering around them^and their Colonels. IiieutemriitColonels and Majors all but three had fallen, or been carried from the field. Banks was constautly active, moving to every part of the field, and those who were in constant communication With him saw how wonderfully he preserved in his memory tho minutest' details of the fight. No man could in any circumstances^h^e shown ^more calnt-neas or self-poafleesion. If I

There were two tbou^nd in th6 brigade who made their advance,-and the nexjt morning there were not left more than five hundred who could-be gathered together for dutj*. GonTGordon's brigade had heen ordered to their support, but were along time in gitting to the scene of conflict. General Banks attributed his failure to repulse tho enemy principally to tdeir tardiness in coming. Tho Third Wisconsin regiment during the time of the greatest peril and danger to tho third brigade, wero directed to a certain position.— The}' came up well, but the severity Of the firo was too much for their persistency, and they faltered, broke and ran back. Gen. Ci-awford himself with musket in hand, brought them to follow him, and go up again to the suppqrt of their comrades so vastly outnumbered.

They again marched up, but only to be again driven back an irresistible volley of the rebel missiles.— Crawford's brigade is the one which in the last battle of Winchester put to rout, ten regiments of rebels. It was then commanded by Colonel Donnelly of the 2Sth New York, who was on this occasion coolly leading his regiment when he fell wounded mortaliy. The brigade retirod from the woods, out of which they had driven the enemy, but. fell back no further than the ground they had occupied during tho day.— Many of the men had straggled away after tho fight, and as I rode among them and inquired frequently. "What regiment is this?" I was universall}answered that it was no particular regiment. Man}' lay down upon the ground to sleep wherever thoy happen to be, and many moved slowly to the rear. They had fought bravely, but through the smallnss of their numbers had been compelled to retire without the attainment of what they had fought for and the whole command seemed overwhelmed with weariness and depression. After they laid down to sleep the enemy continued to throw shells, and kept up their fire woll

WASHINGTON, August n.

Accounts from Culpepper represent the enemy's estimated force employed at 20,000 and ours, exclusivo of cavalry and artillery, as not exceeding 7,000.

Tho number of United States soldiers wounded is large, and the wounds generally slight. The number killed is small.

CULPEPPER, Va., August 11.

The enemy this morning sent out a flag of truce, asking permission to bury thoir dead. This shows that, with all their superiority in numbers, they were too badly cut up to maintain their position, and that their falling back yesterday was from necessity and not choice.

Our troops are engaged'in bringing our wounded from the field and burying the dead.

HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OP Va., CEDAR MOUNTAIN, Ya., Aug 12. To Major General Hal lock

The'enemy has retreated under cover of the night. His rear guard is now crossing the Rapidan, towards Orange Creek. Our cavalry and artillery are in pursuit.

Signed, JOHN POPE, Major General.

Further Particulars of the Fight At Culpepper. WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.

Advices from Culpepper dated yesterday, say that owing to tho severe injury General Banks received, the command of the second corps has devolved upon General Williarcs. General Crawford commands tho division of Goneral Williams, and General Green commands tho division of General Augur, who is severely J)ut not dangerously wounded.

An escaped prisoner saw at Orange Court House, Goneral Prince and Captain Williams in tho hands of the rebels. They were on thoir way to Richmond.

On visiting the battle field man}*, if not the better part of our dead officers, were found, some partially and some entirely stripped of their uniforms.

Tho rebel Generals Stewart and Early wore on the field and conversed freely with our officors about tho battle. They stated that the fuilbrigades of Gens. A. P. Hill, Longstr.eet and Ewell were opposed to our small band of heroes,

and

that they were terribly

cut to pieces by our firo, leading id the inference that they suffered fully as much as ourselves and previously stat.ed that Stonewall Jackson commanded tho field in person.

General Roberts is military governor of the ppst at Culpepper, and on tho day. of battle renderod valuablo aspi.Qfjinr.o by his military oxpQnpoCQ.

jggy-Tho following letter has been handed us for publication. It explains itselfU^'Wo will just state however, that the deceased went from this county, and was the.son of Mr. David Noggle, the.gentleman to .whom this letter is addressed|

JBATON ROUGE, La., July 14, .1862^ MR. DAVID NOGGLE—Dear Sir: Your son John M. Noggle died in the Hospital at this place last night. He first took sick at Ship Islard, Miss., and was left there until after the taking of New Orleans, after which ho carao on here and went to duty, but was soon after effected with a very strange kind of blindness, what sailors call "moon blind," so that he was unable to see one particle by candle-light.

He kept getting worse until we had to send him to the Hospital, where he took the yellow jaundice, from which he never recovered. He was not in' his right mind hardly any of the time after ho got seriously ill.

I tried to get him to talk about his affairs, and his friends at home, telling him that I would write anything for him ho wished. He would rouse up for a moment, and seemed fully to comprehend his situation, but before he could tell anything he would relapse iuto a kind of stupor, and continue talking like one in his sleep.

He said he fully understood that he must soon die, but that he did not fear to meet death.

John was a very moral young man and never indulged in any of the vices so inviting to soldiers.

He said, when talking to him about writing a letter, that there was a letter he wanted to write, but that he could not write it then, but thought he could in a few days. He gave no intimation as to who it was to,

nor

what its pur

port was. Wo buried him in tho soldiers cemetry in the barracks, at this place. I will have his grave so plainly marked that it can be easily found any timo for ton years to come. I will send you his effects as soon as I can make an inventory of them as required by the regulations. Respectfully,

Our Western Army.

A Western correspondent writes as follows: That the people of tho loyal States many now fully appreciate tho urgent necessity of making the utmost efforts to fill up the ranks of the Western armies before the oponirg of the full campaign, 1 subjoin the following official estimate of'the losses of the western Department by battky, disease and otherwise: Causualities in the battles of Belmont, Mill Springs Fort Donelson, Shiloh & Pea Ridge deducting those slightly wounded and returned to duty IS,000 In other affairs of minor importance. 3,000 By disease (dead,and absent) 40,000 Discharged- -2,000

Total *3,000 Sixty-three thousand not less than one third the forces in the field on the 1st of November last.

That the above estimate'of the losses bv disease is not too high, is proven by the official account lately made of tho army of the Ohio, which shows a list of absentees on account of sickncss of not less than fourteen thousand.— That the greater number of these are now able to return to duty*, but prefer to loiter at home is certain. The efforts of authorities and patriotic citizeus should, therefore, not only be directed to secure new enlistments, but compel the recreants to join their commands.

What Constitutes a Legal Tender —Important Decision. In the Philadelphia District Court) on Wednesday, a decision was given in the case of Shoenberger for use vs. Musselman & Watts, a brief notice of which, in view of the importance of the point involved, may not be out of place here. The defendants, obligors in a bond dated November 26, 1861, in the penal sum qf $56,231 78, conditioned for the payment of $28,155 80 in specie, current gold of the Unjted States of America, on the 1st of May, 1862, with lawful interest, in specie! current gold and silver money aforesaid, to be paid half yearly for the samo in the city of Philadelphia. A warrant of attorney for the same date with the bond ,to confess judgement was annexed to the bond. Under this warrant a judgement was entered on the'day of the date of the bond, in the Cour of Common Pleas of Lancaster county. According to. the usual, practice, the judgement was entered for the penalty of tho bond, and the .record sets out the condition verbatim.— Whcty the day of. payment arrived, the obiigors tenderpd to the obligee the interest apd .cost,, in full in the notes of the United SUtos, which by act of Congress of February 25, 1862, were made a legal tender for all debts, &c.— the plaintiff refused to. receive them, and had a, fi.fa. issued, which the defendants asked. to have set aside. The question raised wasirwhether the plaintiff had a right, sinco the act Of Congress of February 25,1862, to require payment by defendants, of gold and silver money, oc was bound to accept .the [notes.' of the United States, which, by that act, wore made a legal tender for notes: generally. The-Court decided that the tender of United States notes was sufficieut auswer to the obligation in the bond, and the writ was set aside

A CIRCULAR. WASHINGTON, Aug. il.

The following circular has been issu to-day: WAR DEPARTMENT,

Washington, Aug. 11.

To Military Commandants, Provost Marshals,, United States Marshals and Police Officers:

Uou will receive herewith an order from tho

War

Department, to prevent

evasion of military duty, and for tho suppression of disloyal parties, datod the 8th of August, 1S62. This ordex*, to be efficient and necessarily very comprehensive in its terms and its proper execution, requires the exercise of sound judgement, and discretion by the officers to whom its enforcement is entrusted, and to guide you in its execution the following instructions are to be observed:

X^irst—The order compromises two classes of persons, namely, those who are about leaving the United States to evade military duty, and those who, for the same purpose, leave their own State. Leaving the United States to avoid draft fe absolutely prohibited, but it was not the intention of the order to interfere with the transit of any person from State to State, but those who design to evade military duty. The order will authorize the detention of any person leaving his own State, county or military district.

Second—Any person detained may be relieved on giving bonds to the United States, with sufficient security, in the sum of $1,000, conditional for the performance of military duty, if he should be drafted, or providing the proper substitute,

Third—Immediate report is to be made to this office of all persons detained, with the cause of their detention.

Fourth—You will exorcise the power of arrest and detention with caution and forbearance, so as to avoid o-iving annoyance or troublo to any persons, excepting those who are seeking to evade the performance of their duty to the country.

Fifth—The Governors of the respective States are authorized to give passes or permits to their own citizens, to leave States without intent to evade military duty. By order of the War Department. (Signed,) L. TURNER, oST Judge Advocatc.

The Michigan Central Railroad

and the Lake propellers continue to be crowded with people leaving for Canada. It is astonishing to see how many invalidsare leaving for wateringplaces how many people have discovered relatives in Lockport, which is just over the Canada border how many men have business to arrango with their Canadian correspondents.

Guerilla Fight in Missouri. HUDSON, Mo., Aug. i). Additional particulars of the fight between Col. McNeil's command and a party of guerrillas at Kirksville some da3".s since, has been received. One hundred and twenty-eight dead rebels were found and buried. Their entire loss could not have been less than 300. It is estimated on reliable authority tliat full 2,000 of Porter's gang have deserted him and are scattered, several hundred of them being prisoners. Tho balance of his force, which was originally 3,000 are rapidly retiring, pursued by Col. McNeil's troops in four columns. The federal loss was 8 killed and 25 wounded.

Lincoln on Arming the Ifegroes. WASHINGTON, August 5. It had been hoped that certain features of the interview vviih tho president, to-day. on the subject of arming negroes, would not be made public but a garbled statement in a semi-secession New York paper necessitates the pubIication of tho fact. A delegation of Western men, including two United States Senators, made the offer of certain negro regiments to the President, to which offer, as states last night, tho President replied that he had decided not to arm negroes. The matter then was freely discussed with reference to Lane's project and the general policy. The President was plied with arguments =i against his decision, and discussion gradually became more fully explained.—"Gentlemen, you have my decision. I have made my mind up deliberated and mean to adhere to it. It embodies my best judgment, and if tho people are dissatisfied, I will resign and let Mr. Hamlin try it," to which one of them replied, "I hope in God's namr, Mr. President, you will." The heat of the discussion seems to have arisen from the feeling that the President was drawing back from the ground his visitors thought he bad givon them reason to believe ho occupied. }SAROLET»',
