I had spent a atght ia a ttage, a day ia the aaddla, eight ia a aleepiog-car, half a day doing baMaess, half a day ia bed, and was, after aappar, enjoying a cigar and a newspapar io the . read ir groom of the R hoaaa, in F , Indiana. The aewspaper was anintreting, or lse I was lather aleepy and I gueaa it was a little of both ; so that t soon neglected it to watch the fantastic curling of the smoke from my fine-.flavored pnncipe. I didn't fael much like talk ing, aud felt still lass lice reading ; but I did Teef e if I would like exceed ingly well to hear a good -lory.";""'; " ' "I bad barely oama to this con d anion, and com.

Indeed, he bad ao much : ibe appearance of the man that I would like to bear tell a atory, that I thoaght dame fortune had a tailed upon me, wbea be reeogaixed me with a feaial . "Hoar d'ye do, stranger T" , 1 returned bis salatattoe, and aaked him some commonplace qoeetita about bow be had ei jj d the ride we took together. 'Ha said something ia reply aboot the running beiagloo faat for the poor track ; and from this tha eeareraatioa ran upon faat traveling in gen-ral, for some time. At last I remarked that six-V miles an boor was the most speedy traveling j that I bad ever done. Whereupon my friend in formed me, with a pleasant bat knowlinff amiler that be bad traveled considerably faster than that' and, ia fact, faeter than he had ever heard of be aide. Of oourse T as anxious to know where, when, and bow he bad doe it; and after the modest Assurance that be feared his tale would not be in. foresting, my friend relieved my anxiety by relating the fallowing story : I am a railroad eagineer. Io '57, d urine the great paais, I was running oa the F. and C. R. R. The railroad companies were growing tender, io all directions. Every day we heard of new failures ; aad quite often in a quarter where ' we least expected it. Our road was looked ep-4a as eaa of tha mast substantial ia the nation ; nobody seemed to have any great fear that it waold fail to survive the general smash-up.. Bat yet I did aot fully share ia the general confidence t7agne were eat dowa arrearages collected ; aad a great many other tittle matters seemed to iitdicate to me that the road bad got into rather deeper water than waa agreeable all around. Among other things, tba master a ecbanio bad told do in the spring, that tha company bad or dered four first quality Ta&ntoa engines for the cellaiur i - - - Ml ; fall paeaenger boaiaesa. The road was put in r . the very best cocdilioo, and o:her preparations were made to cut" down the time, and put the - trains through quicker than was ever known ba fora, wbea tba aew engiaes should eome. Well, there was bat One of the aew engine came. "I said tbera was bat oa engiae came, and . aba was, ia my opinion, altogether the best ever . taraed out at the Taunton -works.

I felt that would save the road if I lived, and told Roberts SO. : See that yoa do it, Harry,' be replied, as be climbed up the steps of the coaoh which was coupled to my engine. "I sprang np into the foot-board, got ap the switch-tender to help my fireman, opened the tb rot tie, and just as she commenced moving, looked at my watch. It was just eleven o'clock, so that I bad one boat to make my seventy -five miles in. 44 From Y to C - there were few curves in the road ; but there were several bea vv gradee. I was. perfectly acquainted with every rod of it, ao that I knew exactly what I bad to encounter; and when I saw how tie engine was moving 1 bad very little fear of the result. . "The road, for the first few miles, was an air line, aud ao smooth that my engine flew tlon with scarcely a perceptible jar, I was ao busy posting myaelf ap as to the amount of wood and water aboard, etc., that we danced by the first station almost before I waa aware of it, having been five minutes out, and having five mile ac-complisbed."You are lesiog time ! yelled a voice from the coach. I looked around, and there stood Roberts with his watch io bis hand. : v 'I knew very well ibat wo would have to in-creaae our speed by soma means, if we carried out our plana of reaching C- by midnight, aad looked anxioualy around to sea what I could do to accomplish that purpose. She was blowing off eteaca fiercely at oaa hundred and tea pounds, so I turned down the valve to two hun dred, for I knew she needed it aU to make some of the heavy grades which lay between us and C . .-:'; .' v;-U- ..' V It was three miles to the next station. With the exception of a few curves, the track was as good as the last. As we darted around what commoojy seemed to be rather long carve, at the station, but wbieh was, at our high speed, ehort enough, I looked at my watch, and we bad done it in two minutes and a half. . "Gaining, I shouted back to Roberts, who was standing outside on the platform of the coach. "Look out for the heavy grades, he replied, aad went inside of the car. Tfce next six miles rose gradually from a lev. el, tbe first, to ten and a half feet grade, the last, which lay between as and the next station. My fireman kept ber full ; and bow she began to get hot. Tbe furnace door was red, and tbe steam , raised continually ; so that she kept ber speed, and passed the station like a streak of lightning in five minatee.' . - "Now came nine miles like the last ; over which she kept pace with her time, and passed the station ia seven minutes. "Here, for ten miles, we bad a twenty foot grade to encounter; bnt the worst of it all was, at this place we woald be obliged to stop for wood, I was just goiog to speak to Roberts about it, whea I looked around and saw him !-Hag the tender from tbe coach, with wood which bad been placed there belore starting, while be was gone after at. "1 believe be would have made bis tea miles at the same apeed as before ; but through the earelesroesa of tbe fireman the foontaia valve on the left hand side of tbe engine got open, and tbe water rose in tba boiler, so far as to run the steam down to one hundred pounds, before be discovered where the difficulty lay. 'At first Roberta didn't appear to notice the decrease of speed, and kept at work at the wood aa if for dear life. Bat presently be looked up. nod seeing that the speed bad decreased, be shouted t Harry, we ate atopping T And then, coming over to where I was, ba , said t ' " . ' ' . , ' "- ' Why, bere we have been ten minutes oa tbe last tea milea, and I believe we will coma to a dead stand if something i aot done. Tbe speed is eootinuari slaekeniag. Wbat'is the matter T I explained the cause. He was apparently satiafied with my explanation, aad after, having tied down the safety ealve, ba climbed back over the tender, exhorting axe to put ber through for !

Now we bad fourteen milee to go, and my time showed eleven o'clock and fifty-three minutes. "If I live said I to myself, 'I wHl make aad we plunged down the twenty feet grade wkb all steam on. Persona who saw tha traia oa that wild run say that it was soon after they beard the first soqnd of ber approach, whea tbe strange object, which looked aa If it waa a flame of fire darted by, and tbea the sou ad of tta traveling died away in the distance, thai they could bard; y cbnvinoe themselves that they bad seen any thing. . It seemed more like a creature of a wild dream than a aober reality. J; "And bow let ma tell yon thai no engineer ever beat the time that ve made oa thoaa four- teea milee. Those great wheels, eleven feet in diameter, spun around so swiftly that yoa coald not begin to count the revolutions. The engine barely seemed to touch tha track as she , flew along, and ahhough the track was as true as it could be, she swayed fearfully, and sometimes made each prodigious jolts that it required some skill for one to keep bis feet.' No engine woald hold together if crowded tj a greater speed. "Well, just aa I came to a atand at the depot in C , the big clock boomed, out twelve, and tbe ateamboal was getting ber steam on. Roberts got on board in time, and nothing to spare. : ' aAnd he saved ibe money, did be 7 l eaked, when I was that my friend bad fioisbed his story, - "Yes 1 be found it hid away ia some old box es, as Alcricb had directed.

St. Lociis, Sept. 22. - The following aeorabt of the battle at lUue Hills is derived from ao authentic source.. Lieut. Cot. Scott, with five hundred . and seventy mew of the l bird jowa ttegiment, and one piece I '. t- tillery, left Cameron on Monday, tbe 15th, in pur suit of the rebels who left St. Joaepb oa the Fri day previous. Lieut. Colonel Scott arrived a Liberty, Clay county, oa tbe moraine; of the. i 7th, and moved from that placo at 1- P. M. . At 3 o'clock be fell in with the enemy, four thousand five hundred ia number, occupying a strong position. Our skirmishers received a galling fire, and slowly retreated to our main body, when the action became general. Var. six pounder was brought to bear upon tbe enemy, and a few shots fu-rd, which proved destructive. At this time a heavy fire opened upon our single gun, , killing one gnnner and wounding two others. On this, several other gunners (Germans) from St. Louie abandoned the goo, carrying off primer and matches, thus rendering tbe piece oeeleas. Tbe-action continued one hour, wbea oar col umn wee alowly withdrawn to move1 to open round, bringing off tbe wounded, and dragring away the gun by hand, all the borsea baring been killed or badly wounded. 7 About this time Colonel Smith, who left St. Joseph with fourteen hundred men about the tim Soott did Cameron, for the same general purpose, joined, the latter having poshed forward bis moouted men and artillery at a rapid pace. On receiving a message from Scott, tea miles back, that be waa advancing on tbe enemy, but' it being night, their men completely exhausted, and tha enemy reported strongly entrenched in a thicket, impassible except by a narrow road, a farther attack was postponed until morning. Early the following day an advanco was made by the combined forces ; but on arriving oa Blue Hills, they found the enemy bad crossed the riv er before daylight, taking the road toward Lex tugton. - v .

Tbe Democrats, and other Union men, with the patriotic JE WETT as their standard -bearer, invite a union of all patriotic and Union and UV 1 erty-loviag citizens in defending and maintain' ing the supremacy of the Constitution - mad preserving the Union ; and recommend, that while the war for the suppression of tba rebellion Is progresat g, the several State Legislatures should adopt measures for calling a National . Convention of the UNION MEN OF ALL THE STATES for the purpose of settling our present difficulties, and . restoring and preserving the Union. . . . ; . . r ti 11. J. JEWETT, la hie letter of acceptance says t . The . great body of the people Snath are LOYAL TO THE GOVERNMENT i their ; sympathy is with it and for it, if the real nature of the controversy waa fairly before them, and tbey are permitted to act in accordance with their own feelings and judgments. It is the loy al people of the South who must suffer the most by the continuance of hostilities. I would, there fore, injustice to them as well as to ourselves ; for the eake of our common country ; for tbe sake of humanity, undeceive them. I would in vite them into a National Convention, where we might consult end advise together for our com mon good, and by wise measures provide against any and every line of poliey which, if persevered in, must result in onr common rain. ( For the restoration of harmony between the States; sympathy among the people, and for the preservation of the Union, I would make anv reasonable and honorable concession. NOT TO THE TRAITOR, but to DISARM THE TRAITOR BY UNDECEIVING THE BETRAYED. . . ,';.;. . . . . "In making proffers of peace and proposing terms of conciliation, I would not overlook tbe fact that the rebellion is in the hands of those who are opposed to any reasonable and peace, fid adjustment of the present difficulties, short of submission to their, policy and an acknowL edgement of their independence and acknowledgement which I trust no considerable number of our people ever have been, are now, or ever Mt .

Tjo Democracy do not propose, to ground arms to rebels and traitors, bat while putting ddwn rebellion, with armed, force they desire Congress to OFFER-TO THE LOYAL PEO PLE of the disasffseted States the remedies which tbe Constitution itself provides for st re- dxesa of grievances- a N atioxxl Co vcxTtox. Sir. Jevett farther says: In one action of tbe country a rebellion ex iststhe laws of the laud are put at defiance the Union of the Stales ignored the Constitu tion set aside, and another, at once the offspring of aod apology for this rebellion, sought to be substituted in ita stead. In tbe prosecution of their designs, the partisans instigating and leadj ing this rebellion have seised opon the property of our own government, driven its' officers and soldiers from their posts of duty, and by armed violence have sought to humiliate our flag and to overawe the Government." These parties bad no doubt, carefully calculated fbe chances of sue.e, and, baving no sympathy io common. with the great body of their people, determined at all hazards, and at any coat of treasure aod of blood, to attempt the execution . of tbeir, unwise and wicked purposes.

Ur. Staunton's Proposition to Recognize i tha Independence ef the Southern Con-: Cede racy. , . .... . Mr. Benjamt i Staunton is the candidate of the Fusion party for Lieutenant Governor and pla ced there as the representative of the true Union sentiment of Ohio. Read the following from his speech delivered in the House f Representa-tivee t - Viws tie CVagrMO Gl"l, Fbrr 25, 1881. Mr. Benjamin Staunton Mr. Speaker t When there were fifteen slaveholding States, acknowledging allegiance to the Federal Government and, therefore, having in their hands the power to protect themselves egaiost auy invasion ef their rights on the part of the Federal Government, it Was a m titer of very little consequence whether such aa amendment as that waa incorporated ia the Constitution or not. But the stale of tbe country is now radically and essentially changed. Seven or eight States now deny their allegiance to this Government; have organized a separate Confederacy, and have declared their independence, of this Government. WHETHER THAT INDEPENDENCE IS TO BE MAINTAINED OR NOT IS WITH THE FUTURE. IF THEY SHALL MAIN TAIN THEIR POSITION. AND SUSTAIN THE AUTHORITIES THERE FOR A. YEAR OR TWO COME, SO AS TO SHOW THAT NOTHING BUT WAR OF SUBJUGATION AND CONQUEST CAN BRING THEM BACKYI. FOR ONE. AM DISPOSED TO RECOGNIZE THAT INDEPENDENCE. Read this, every Union man, and say if Mr. Staunton represents the Union sentiment of Ohio? And yet, yoa ere invited to vote for him against John G. Marshall, the Union Demo cratic nominee, who writes tbe following- patriotic letter: Gkorgctowit, Ohio, Aug. 19, 1861. Editor Ohio Statesman Dear Sir; As the nominee of the State Committee of the Union Democracy of Ohio for the office of Lieutenant Governor, I deem it proper to say. through the medium of your paper, that I cordiaUf indorse. aod approve every sentiment expressed in the letter of acceptance of Mr. Jewett our worthy nominee for Governor. Although I opposed the election of ike present parly in power, vet I would Javor no policy calculated to cripple thepoteer of we rovcmjnent in pnuiung aown me lerrwie rebellion ehich now hangs like a dark cloud over our (teloved country. But, at the same ;ime, I believe the interest. of the State and countrv will be subserved by a change of Administration, and thai tha Democratic party, if successful, will greatly conduce to a speedy and final putting down of that spirit of rebellion acd violence which -is threatening the liberty ot the -citizens both North aad Sooth, Truly yoors. . -- - - , -, - . - JOHN G.

From th CineiMmati Prsee. Bisbandment of the Republican Party- Its Successor. The history of the Republican party, from the day of it birth, bas been In conformity with its origin. It was not founded upon a coalition. At ibe time it was created there wa a demand for a party a principle seeking a representative j bot tha demand wa respooded to by those who bad no respect for, or confidence in principles. If we were to name individuals who can properly be taken as the types of its parentage, we would say that it was begotten by Owen Lovejoy opoa Thaddeus Stevens, or by Gamaliel Bailey epoa Francis P. Blair Horace Greeley being the accoucheur steeled to introduce It to the world. Ia other words," Abolitionism furnished the seed, and Kaow-Nothiogism the matrix, and a desire for office supplied the vital energy. Men who had been oat, were desperate to come in so desperate that the sole question was what mean would be likely to be the most effectual. You have not been in the minority a long as I have," wa the response of the editor of the N. Y. Tribune to one who had remonstrated with him oa the 0 nrse recomecding of the time the foundation of the party waa being laid at Pitts borg ; and tbis expression i a key to the character of tbe thing that was constructed, and lb index to it history. "Let oe unite all the element of the opposition to the unprincipled party that now , holds the Government," said Mr, Blair.. The sentiment was applauded, and the element of opposition, ia order to bare them-scire to the work of breaking the anpriacipled party, naited ia laying their principles upon the common altar. .... . ".- There is no remedy for . a defective Constitution j and as a thing i born, whether it be individual or institution, so it will continue. f Strange and subtle diseases so say tbe best of writers apoa physiology are sometimes conveyed to the couches of maternity by the hand of the midwife j and there Is reason to suspect that, besides it congenial complaints, the Republican party may owe an unfortunate com plication , cf the attending physician. , However that may be the gener- al character of its future wu plainly enough in dieated at it beginning fand in looking over it history tbera ia no reason to charge it with bar ing belied the angary ofits origin. The late diabandment ofthe Republican par ty in Ohio is in perfecr keeping with all jt other performancea. v As it tailed to meet tbe demand which called it into existence, so it bas failed to meet every other that has been made apoa it. As it came tato tbe world amid a spasm of mor al cowardice, ao its life ba bees succession of spasms i and whether it will partially revive and struggle on in a poor and useless, career, is pot a queation or much importance. f A 1 - - T If there ba ever been time wherf it was especially obl;gatory upon the RepubJicaa party to act with vigor, anL whea energy and courage would Lave" been most remunerative, that time U bow.

It is Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet, individually aad collectively "variety as the Batoral-ists say, "in unity" it latest bora ; hsir to all its balf virtues, and real weakness. There is nothing to be said ia favor of party permanency, but if there is ever any reason for tha continuance of a party organisation, it i when it ba aa Administration that needs a firm and uncompromising support. To disband at . such a time may' be condemned opon sound maxim ; and reasoning a priori, the most unhap. Ef auguries may be drawn from tbe proceediag. j ut we need not go back to principles, which we have the effects before as : and it is easy to see aire tdy the' tendencies that bars been (n. i auguraled by tha cowardice of tbe Iteputi;. caua. The pretense for the abandonmeut was to pro. due greater nnanimity. and afford the Govern-ment more decided and enerretio aid - than it could receive under the Republican organization, i Is there any appearance that this hope will be realized? ; Not a particle. The party ha retired in favor of one that has put the weakness which it felt into a platform. The organisation has instituted that moral cowardice which its pre' decessor did not, in terms, admit. Instead of lifting up, there is a Jetting down. This is equally visible in the proceedings of the Con vention, in the platform and the candidate. Tbe Convention was made up of men who had been dropped out. Its President (Mr. Sw ing) is a superaouated politician, who rode hi party until it wo tired of lim. and who since. while pretending a conssienlious ? retlracy, ha been shifting and trimming, beating here and there, ia hopes to catch a popular current that shonld carrv bim acain into that officiaJ havn for which alone he bas any regard. He sees tbo prospect of, a enalortai election next winter, and thinks to supply tbe place of (B. F. Wade I one of the boldest and firmest friends of the d ministration with whom it only can be- pre dioted that when he should be brs re aad ilsady, be will ba timid and vacilitatin r. Its Secretary (J. F. Coffioburv) is a gentleman whom it is enough to ssv that be could erar find in the hop to occupy a seat in the municipal council of the city of his residence, a sufficient reason to work a thorough revolution ia bis political views and principles. . : ; its leaders and active men were the tofts ot botb VAriietDrniocral vpon tohoot Democrats could never rely; Republicans vpon whom Rc publican; men bot of strong measures, nor of no measures men wbo in the Legislature, while-professing the utmost seal tor tbe Union and tha State, wre nn willing to rote a dollar for the de fense of either ; and who, when forced to give by tbe overpowering pressure of publio opinion gave a Utile and aa grudgingly as possible. ine proceedings of tbe Convention were in character. Its speeches were all for the Union. and nothing for tbe Administration. Ita platform is the essence of party poltroonery andoffice-seeking conservatism at once timid and in consistent. - There ia nothing in it that is free and outspoken.. In one ofits reao'otions it hides Mr- Crittenden like one coward ihruetiug anoth er forward to face a danger that he fears to meet himself. In another it makes, a similar ate of Mr. Holt, a braver man lo keep it in conn ten- sac.

The candidate are as might have been expected. We except the nominee for Governor, wbo is, we have beard, a brave and right-minded mea the thing to be wondered at being, how he happened to fall where be is. The others ara gentlemen irreproachable in private life, and doubtless of ample capacity to perform tbe Executive duties that will devolve upon them ia cae they are selected. Bat something more than this is demanded ia these times and according to the programme." They are, in general, men of scruple-men whose parties have found them unreliable to time of difficulty and peril. They do not come np to the idea of representatives of a new party organised with aa especial view to unite the people upon tbe poller - of a strong and energetic support of the Nation. al Administration in thegreat and perilous war in which it is ensrafed. We say this in aorrow. and in sincerity, vlkese men will be elected. We shall get a respectable Stale Administration out of them. But in the light of national politics, taking into consideration what was wanted, aad professedly sought, the whole thing i a fail, ore. Tod and Victory. Under thie head, the Hancock Jeffersonian, a Republican paper, in the issue of Jane 23th, 1S0 published the following: "Ton S.KP Victost." It will be recollected that a Democratic member of tbe Ohio Lee-tela lure presented a bill last winter making it a Penitentiary offense for mechanics to strike for higher wages, aad that after this obnoxious measure had been most thoroughly exposed by Plants of Meigs, a Republican member, the individual wbo presented it, ad mitled that it had been framed by Hon. David Tod, and at hi suggestion bad been submitted to the Legislature, Tod being an extensive manufacturer. Large meetings of mechanics were held ima.edtalely after wards ia a great number of our large cities, and Tod was denounced ia tbe severest term. ' Well, this same Davy Tod was called to preside at Baltimore, opon the resignation of Cashing, and the telegraph says "took the chair amidst loud applause." a very fine compliment to our industrious mechanics !
