HOPKINS, OF CLINTON. A FEU' C'OESIIECTIOXS. ''The Dele-gates in the Democratic-Briijht-Disunion convention from this county were Jonathan Dudley. Hugh Donley, Henry Miller, Jossa Coleman, John I. Dunn, Dr. T. D. Lemon, Amos C. H-iJJ, and a man whose namo we have forgotten. The County Central Committee appointed eiht delegates two weeks ago to day, a portion of whom were Doulasites. They filled to attend and theii places were tilled with self-constituted Breckinridge man. The whole delegation it will be oD3erved, are all Breckinridge men." The above, which we clip from the La Porte Herald, of a late date, contains statements so much at variance with the truth, that justice to the gentlemen named, and the Democracy of the County which they represented, requires a publication of the facts in the case, which are these: The delegation, as originally appointed, consisted of eiijht delegates, five of whom supported Mr. BrockenriJije, and three, Mr. Douglas. As the entire delegation did n t attend the Convention, substitutes were appointed, so that tho delegation stood as follows: Breckenridge Lemon, Donley, Hall, and Dudley 4 ; Douglas Miller, Coleman, Hering, Dunn 4. Thi3 statement, which we Inoie to be true, shows that the Herald's account of tha matter i3 entirely erroneous. The Douglas' men, as that paper is pleased to rail a portion of the Democracy, gained one m the appointment of alternates, which is very different from the statement of the Herald, that the places of the delegates who did not attend were filled with selfconstituted Breckenridge men. Either tho Herald did not know what it was talking about, or asserted what it knew to be false. Tho same paper calls the Convention the mocratic-BrMit-Disunion Conven tion. which la an epUhet anJ aQt a statement of fact. " i. tho c.ai Pw Mr. n,y,t notilin3 l0 do the Calling of tho Convention, ana did not attempt to exercise any influence over it aaer it wa9 assembled ; and the statement which it makes, that Michael G. Bright was there in hi3 stead, is 'erroneous,' for he was T'fjt there at all. The Herald makes anpther statement which we think it will be very difficult lor it to substantiate, which is: 'A very large proportion of the delegates were not chosen by the Democracy of the counties to which they were accredited." As this is so different from what we believed to be the fact3 in tho case. not having heard any such complaint from the Democracy of any County in the 8;ate, mu.h less a large proportion, and as Democrats were net in the habit of misrepresenting'themselves, we are of the opinion that the Herald's assertion is slightly 'inaccurate.' Will it pleaso name the counties which were represented by dalegates not not chosen by tho Democracy of those counties? We do nt nsk it to name all the counties thus represented, but merely enough to substantiate his statement that "A large proportion of the delegates were not chosen by tho Democracy of the ci.untiea to which they wero accredited." The Herald further says: "Those counties where the Democracy were the strongest, either did not liavo any delegates there, or if they had, instructed them in advance against committing the party to any policy, and against making any nomination at that time." There were only five counties not rspresented Washington, Dubois, Owen, Wabash and Lake. The first three are Democratic counties and the latter two the blackest kind of Republican; from which it will be seen that 'tho9e counties where the Democracy wero strongest,' were about a9 well represented as those where they were not so strong. The counties not represented were divided as near equal as possible between strong Democratic and strong Republican the former accidentally having the majority of one. The statement that the strong Democratic counties instructed their delegates to vote gainst committing the party to 'any policy and against making any nominations,' ii simply ridiculous. Such instructions would compel the delegates to vote against committing the party to a patriotic, prao-J

ticable, constitutional War policy; or a sound, systematic, economical State policy. In relation to making nominations, about one fifth of the delegates were in favor of postponing until May or June, but a majority of four to one decided to make nominations, as State Conventions had formerly done, and did make auch as those who had been in favor of postponement could make no possible objection to. Furthermore the delegates from the strong Democratic counties are entitled to no great consideration more than, those from counties where there is a Republican ma

jority ; as each delegate represented an equal number of Democratic votes; and Democratic voles in Republican counties count just as much as Democratic votes anywhere else. For instance: Harrison, which is a Democratic county, we believe, ca3t eight delegate votes, representing, probably, two thousand Democratic votes, against making nominations; LaPorte cast eight delegate votes, representing the same number of Democratic votes that the delegates from Harrison did, in favor of making nominations. Why are the Democrats from Harrison lo be particularly petted, wheu their two thousand votes will not count any more in the aggregate at the State election, than will the two thousand Democratic votes in LaPorte county? According to the argument which is used by tho Herald and Xew Albany Ledger, the one delegate from Starke county, representing two hundred and filtv Democratic votes, should dictate to the fifteen delegates from Marion county, representing nearly four thousand Democratic votes. The Herald makes the following state ment: "The strong Republican counties had generally an unusual number of delegates who were uproarous for a platform and a ticket." The published proceedings of the Con vention, or any other source of authentic information, do not show that aioj county, Republican or Democratic, had more dele, gates in the Convention than it was entitled to under the apportionment. The latter clause of the extract mav. or mav not, be true; but if the latter, it would not be very surprising; for if living in a Black Republican county wouldn't make a man 'uproarous for a sound. Democratic Platiorm, and a good, strong Democratic ticket, we don't know what would. The Herald says, again: "Jesse D. Bright dare not leave his seal in the Senate a3 he- has done on former occasions, for fear of bincr ousted from that body, as he should be at once for his disloyalty." Mr. Bright was not deterred from attending the Convention by any such cause as that stated above. A committee of seven Republican Senators, after the most patient and anxious investigation tailed to find him in any way disloyal, and so reported to the Senate. Does the Herald know more about Mr. Blight's loyalty Hutu ti.v i-r-"blicau committee that investigated il? The Herald's bort articj0 contains other statements which incorrect, but we have not space enough to notice them in detail. Ono is, that Col. Dunham was present to urge the Convention to postpone miking nominations, but had no attention paid to him. The fact is, he made, a speech, and was listend to with respectful attention. If the Convention did not see fit to follow his advice, it certainly had a right to do otherwise. Another statement is, that the Convention was a great farce, and reflected the sentiments of but a very select portion of the Democracy of the State, when the truth of the matter is, it reflected tho sentimonto of tho entire Democracy of the State, and gives satisfaction to all but Republicans and their sympathizers. We have noticed the Herald's statements at greater length than we otherwise would, from the fact many of them have appeared in the Republican papers, and it is but right that they should be refuted. XOT satisfied. The Republican papers are very much dissatisGed with the action of the Democratic State Convention. One thing which they keep continually harping upou is, that it did not pasa resolutions complimentary lo the memory of the late Senator Douglas, and to Governor Wright, That tho Convention did riht in lefusinir to pas3 posthumous resolutions, cannot be successfully denied. By doing so it left no room for reasonable men to complain ; for by refusing to entertain complimentary resolutions to those whom the party had elevated to the highest positions, many who were equally worthy, but not included iu the resolutions, can have no cause of complaint for any slhjht which the party would have put upon them. We know that Governor Wright is a man of too much honor, of too keen an appreciation of the favors, confidence and and support which the Democratic party have ever extended to him, and which have elevated him to his present high position among the statesman and patriots of our country, to consider himself slighted because he did not get another endorsement. He knows tor what purpose Democratic Conventions are assembled. If the Republicans do not like ths action of the Convention, it will probably make

but little difference to the Democracy. It is none of their business what kind of res-

jolutions Democrats pass or refuse to pass. Ihey would be dissatisfied with any action Democrats might take. Furthermore, if Democrats do not choose, for reasonä j which may be good to themselves, to pass resolutions of personal respect to members of their own party, is it i a" very good taste for Republicans to meddle about it? c think not. The object of the Republicans is 60 transparent that the most gullible will not be deceived by it. If they succeed in anything more than rendering themselves ridiculous, it will be a rarity. TfilK COXVEXTIOX A.! TS221 The Republican papers appear be very much exercised about the 'Douglas' Dem6crats being imposed upon by tho 'Breckenridge' Democrats in tho matter of con ducting the State Convention. To hear

and believe all they say, ono would suppose ; lhese tlie? la,d a11 niht' exPecting to that the 'Douglas men were the most ! sorm them in the morning; but. with the abused set of men in the country. They aid of t,,eir boa,s and bnr?es' lhe enemy generally speak of the convention as the rna',afetl toSet acr3j le "ver before dayBreckenridge convention,' or the 'Bright 1

Disunion convention.'

For the edification of those Republicans who have recently affected an over - weening love of tho Douglas men, and who have volunteered their valuable ser-!our

vices for the purpose of defending them, we take pleasure in informing them that the two divisions of the party named have concluded to work together in harmony in future, and henceforth design spending their political ammunition on the abolitionists. The question which divided the party is not now at issue, and probably never will be again; and the party do not deem it advisable to keep up a family quarrel about irrelevant questions, merely for the gratification of their enemies. All whom we have heard spead of thU matter, and the action of the party in all parts of j the State leads us to believe that the party elsewhere entertain the same opinion, take tl.ia view of our past difficulties, and will act accordingly. Of cour,,. all tho R-j publicans and a few pseudo Democrats, ... ' ' c will be good evidence, if any were needed, j t of its coriectnoss. ' rp, .. i i .i r i . i I 1 he lia winch the llnnnh mm nmci ira published concerning the State convention ! that it was controlled by Breckenridge i r . i i f . men is easily refuted by a fair statement of the facts in the case. The three prin i rv ,.i cipal oiheers ol the convention P;esidentt Secretary and Assistant Secretary were all Douglas men.

things all their own way? If they did, it was certainly a very magnanimous wav giving their opponents all the ofil-.s and one for which they are entitled to great credit. The Convention was organized, the platforDi adopted, and the ticket nominated solely with a view to unity and harmony in lhe party, regardless of past differences. That, it was successful in this, is attested by the hearty endorsement it has received from one end of tho State to tho other. Republic n blarney, about 'Breckemidge Convention,' and 'Douglas men trodden under fool.' will amount to nothin" farther than to render those who use it ridiculous. Democrats know their duty, and will perform it reg2rdles3 of Republican threats or slanders. This is not tho first howl that Abolition has raised. Tho bitterness which it exhibits toward tho Democratic party, is evidence of the fact that its own dissolution is nigh at hand. Tho gvrations which it makes over th Democratic Convention, is but tho last strules of the demon. OB' T wo Republicans of this town are guilty of tirason, as defined by Federal authorities. Their crime consists in bargaining for, and buying, Treasury Notes at a discount. Can they not be punished when Democrats are imprisoned on mere suspicion? Troiii Kent ui-lty. Louisville, Ky. Jan. 20. Gen. Thomas telegraphs to headquarters lhat Zollicoffer camo up to his encampment, and attacked him near Webb's Cross-Roads, in tho vicinity of Somerset. Zollicoffer and Baillio Peyton had been killed, and tho rebels were in full reheat to their intrenchments at Mill Springs, with the Federals in hot pursuit. SECOND DISPATCH. The recent fight took place on Sunday, instead of Saturday morning. Gen. Thomas, Sunday evening, followed up the rebels to their intrenchments, sixteen miles from his own camp, and when about to attack them this morninjr, ho found their intrenchments deserted, tho rebels having left all their cannon. Quartermaster's stores, tents, horses and wagons. The rebels, in dispersing, had crossed the Cumberland in ono steamboat, and by a lino of barges nt While Oak Creek, opposite their encampment at Mill Spring. Of tho rebels 275 were killed and wounded, including Zollicoffer and Peyton.

The dead were found on the field. The Tenth Indiana lost 82venty-five killed and wounded. Nothing further of Federal loss has yet

; reached here. THIRD DISPATCH.

'BTioum. Cincinnati, Jan. 21. A special dispatch from Louisville says dipa'ches just received at headquarters announce that the battle did not take place on Saturday, but on Sunday evening, and that Gen. Thomas continued the pursuit until night set in. Our forces fo'Iowed the rebels, who ran before them in the wildest confusion, like a flock of frightened sheep, close up to their intrenchments on the north bank of tho river. In front of They left behind, however, all their artillery, ammunition, horses, tents, eighty J wagon-loads of quarteamaster, commissary ; a,K medical stores, all of which fell into hands. Our troops had possession of all their intrenchments earlv ir. the n2After reaching the opposite side, the rebls dispersed in eve-y direction. Two hundred dead and wounded rebels were picked vp on the field, among them Zollicoffer and Baillie Peyton, Jr. Zolli coffer was found mortally wounded in a warron.

Louisvilie, Jan. 21. No news from Gen. Thomas to-day. No details of the Federal loss are received. Gen. Thoma9 has taken tho steamer and tho nine barges in which the rebels conveyed their forcca across tho Cumberland, and which, in their precipitate flight, they failed to destroy. The theory at headquarters is that he is using those boats to convey his troops across the river southward, and providing other means of transportation. Gen. Thomas has been too busy to send the details of tho recent fi"ht. No private telegrams of military matters ran come over tho southern line to Louisville, and uo private information has been received, From Tort rc Monroe. Fortress Monroe, Jan. 19. A Hag of truce went to Cianey Island to-day, with two peisors who camo down from Baltimoro last night to go South. The following is all tho news we can gather from Southern papers received: KfTresident John Tyler is verj ill, at Richmond. "A dispatch dated Macon, G.V, avs that tho account? fron tho wheat reoion are very favorable, and that tho crops never appeared moro promising this early.

The people have been driven to the second stories of their houses, and are unable to build fires to cook their food. Cooked provisions in large quantities have been sent from San Francisco in two steameis. The water has materially subsided since, but tho weather is still unfavorable in the whole valley.
