Macon, Ga., JunO 15—lw. ,
ThbOuio Peace Democracy have* brought
out a strong ticket and are evidently preparing
for a death struggle to carry that State. They
have unanimously nominated Vallandigham
for Governor and ex-Scnator Georgo E. Pugh
for Lieut. Governor—the latter probably tbe
strongest man, intellectually, in Ohio. It will
be no holiday fight Pugh icd off in conven
tion in a defiant speech—flaunting the Lincoln
despotism and Burnside and his order in the
face. Tuat doughty functionary wilt be much
in the humor of a Spanish,bull enraged by the
scarlet shawl ot the Matador. Will he take
Pugh’s banter and arrest him as he did Val-
landigham? We presume not. And yet what
a stupid blunder, in point of policy—what a
contemptible farce, as a display of govermen-
tal authority, was the Vallandigham arrest and
banishment unless it is followed by the arrest
of Pugh and all other prominent agitators in
the Ohio Peace Party I It simply exhibits the
Lincoln administration cowering and cowed by
the fury of the people, and that, too, at a time
demanding the highest manifestation of audacis
ty and firuines» -*h* n the conscription act. is to
be enforced, and citizens taken fiom their
homes and sent to the field under the sternest
exercise ct military and civil authority.
It is surely a puzzling problem, whether on
the whole it will be safer for ihe Lincoln gov
ernment to back out from its policy of sup
pressing .'-pfich or to go ahead. The one is
Scylla and the other Chary bdis The oue wiil
open wide the floodgates of assault upon a poll
cy indefensible by law,'constitution, humanity
or common sense, and the other would prefea
bly only precipitato a collision which may not
long be postponed, and which the abolitionists
can better meet now than hereafter.
But wo anticipate that Lincoln' Will leave
thiogs as they stand—let the polilical coiitcgt
go bn and rely upon beating ihe Peace ticket
as he (lid in Connecticut, by the voUs of bis
army. Forty thousand soldiers, voting in camp
under the surveillance of his military satraps
will bo suflicient to r din it Vallandigham to
continued exile, and givo Pugh and his peace
party another beautiful illustration of “free
soil, free speech and free men,” and “the best
government the woi Id ever saw.”
Meantime the canvass will give a foretaste of
what is coining in 1864. In its initiation the
controversy weirs an aspect so extraordinary
that we venture to say no man living ever ex
pected to seo such a spectacle on the American
Continent Two great parties brand each
other as “traitors” and enemies to hnmaD
liberty. One party has seized upon and ban
ished to a hostile country the candidate of the
other, under a military rescript which declares
the penalty of death for advancing the opin
ions which the other purty-deoUroa and main
tains. On each side the partiz ids are said to
be armed (o the teeth and sworn to mutual
succor against the opposition. Firo and tow
or fire and gunpowder, it would seem, -would
scarcely illustrate a more critical juxtaposition
or contact They may keep the peace during
such a canvass, and if so, It will show that
they are a very- peaceably disposed peoplS.
The aspects of this Ohio contest will, 1 no
doubt, be materially afiected by the fate of the
war. If wo can hold Vicksburg that fact alone
will put the Federal war prospects under a ter
rible cloud, and meanwhile, we apprehend, I hat
in the East, affairs will soon wear a very
threatening aspect If Vicksburg bo lost, for
a time at least the confidence of the abolition
ists in the ultimate and speedy subjugation of
the South will bo literally undoubting. It is
only a distrust of fheir ability to subjugate us,
which makes Northern or Western peacemen,
and tlje fall of- Vicksburg will wherefore re
duce Vallandigham’s party to a mere frazzle.—
In any case/we believe he must be beaten, for
the atrocities of the Lincoln administration In
Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, Connecticut
and Rhode Island, show that so long as the
Black Republican party can hold a considera-.
ble minority in any State, the ballot box will
be stuffed by their followers in the army and
popular elections bo a merji farce
The Perils of a Gallant Georgia Boy.—
Wo saw yesterday, "Wm. W. Woodward, a
young son of our good old fellow-citizen, Ste
phen Woodward, Esq. William was just from
the Federal GeneralHospital at Frederick City,
Maryland, where he had partially recovered
from a frightful wound received at the battle
of Sharpsburg, on the 17th day of last Septem
her. He left Frederick City on the Slat ult
At the age of fifteen this boy soldier volunteered
in the Bibb Greys, attachod to the 27th regi
ment, under the comtnand-of the gallant and
lamented Lovi B. Smith. This regiment was
flanked by the enemy at Sharpsburg, but our
young friend had not arrived at the discretion
necessary for a timely use of his heels in such
an emergency, and stood his ground and kept
up fire on the advancing enomy, until a coni
cal ball struck him in the left breast just to the
left of and above the nipple, and emerged from
his back to the right of the spinal column.—
"He fell and was passod over by the foe. Half
an hour afterward a Federal soldier offered to
take him off the field, but he would not aban
don a young comrade who had been badly
wounded by his side. He remained on the
field till next morning, but during the fight and
while lying on the ground was struck in the
right shoulder by another ball, and in the thigh
by a grape shot, both of which mflictcd painful
wounds, but fortunately were well spent before
striking him. On the field he bled so profusely
from his wounds and from his mouth as to be
come unconscious, but the next morning the
Federals revived him with warm coffee, and
took him to their hospital, whero his wounds
wore pronounced necessarily fatal. To add to
his danger, the dreadful wound in. his breast
began to gangrene, and was burnt with nitric
acid. Ho received from the enemy the kindest
attention and most scientific surgical treatment
for nearly eight months, and his" recovery pro
nounced due alone to his youth. His left arm
unfortunately is useless, and the. dreadful
wound in-his breast still but partially healed,
but ho talks of going back into the service
again, and says he would rather be as he is now
than to have been a lounger at borne in the
hour of his country’s need,. Woodward saw
and spoke to CoL Smith a few moments before
the latter received the shot which killed him.
Woodward’s communication was simply a re
monstrance with the Colonel against exposing
himself. Such is a brief passage in the expc
rience ot a boy of.almost feminine delicacy of
complexion and feature—whose upper lip does
not yet disclose the downy forecast of a beard,
and who nevertheless has fought more battles
than half the veterans of the world, and passed
uadaunted through scones which enight well
appall the stoutest heart.
A BIG SCARE IN PENNSYLVANIA,
If we may credit the telegrams foundecT on
the statements of Northern papers, great alarm
is felt in Pennsylvania in anticipation of a
movement of Lee’s army or a portion of it in
that direction. All the citizens of the State
from the age of eighteen to that of sixty art-
called upon to tako up arms, and the Railroad
companies are fortifying their bridges. Such
facts as these betray a great lack of confidence
in their army on the Rappahannock which
confronts Leo in a force far superior to his own,
and an equally .exalted appreciation of the
Confederate army and its leaders. It is in rc
markable contrast with the composure main
tained by the Virginians when threatened for
months by overwhelming forces of tho enemy.
It is a very high and voluntary compliment to
the prestige of our troops. , . -
Wonders in Black Republican statesman
ship will never cease. Who would have
ever dreamed of a Governor of a State of
tho American .Union dissolving a Legislature
by Executive Proclamation ? ‘ The Black
Republicans are as busy as ever a party
were ins selling deadfalls to break their
own heads. It will require a speciaffinterpo-
sition of Providence to save them from their
own inventions one of these days.
BP* Warm weather yesterday. .Grant’s army
lrying on the Big Black and drinking river
water is seeing sights about these times; and,
may be, our own army is suffering about ns
much, but we hope not. The Vicksburg cam
paign, before it is over, is destined to outstrip
almost all previous illustrations of the horrors
ot war. We shall not be surprised if half of
Grant’s force is unfit for duty if he lays there
a month longer inactive. Our own troops are
better inured to the climate and will be in mo
tion. From those two causes wo hope it will
escape a very unusual amount of sickness, but
this is destined to prove a trying campaign al
roued." .
PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN IN MISSISSIP
PI—the siege or viCKsntTKO.
The accounts from Vicksburg brought us. by the
mails from the 'Woat,,tliougU meagre enough, arc
cheering. -An officer Of a South Carolina Regi
ment, who has opportunities of being well posted,
writing to a friend in this city, from Montgomery,
Ala., on Friday last, tho 12th inst, says:
.“It is more than probable that to-day all onr
troops ore engaged in deadly strife with the ene
my. Just before leaving Jackson on Wednesday,
I saw several Officers of high rank, who expressed
a confident belief that General Johnston would ad
vance on Friday or Saturday (to-day or to-mor
row.) So far a3 my intercourse with officers and
men extended, I heard but one expression of be
lief, and that was in the ultimate utter defeat of
Grant’s foices.” _ 9.
“There is no.doubt about the movement of Gen.
Kirby Smith. Re landed on Saturday and Sun
day at MilHkin’a Bend, 23 miles above Vicksburg,
with-* thousand men.—Char. Mercury.
It was in the foregoing that the press associa-
ion probably based its; confident statement that
Grant’sfate would be determined in five days.

Tlmes says that a committee oi colored men from
that city waited upon Gov. Seymour last week and
a-ked him whether he would favor the organiza
tion of regiments of black men. He replied that
he should not, stating that he had too much sym
pathy for the blacks to do so, as the position they
must occupy would be one of extreme danger, and
would lead to dreadful and nnqfQpgssary saorihee of
life.
The New York Herald, in a long editorial on
“The Signs of the Times,” says:
There are many and great indications of the
commencement of a powerful reaction in the
public mind on the subjoct of tho war, and the
questions out of which it arose, as well asfrom
the signal failure of the administration, both
in their military and political conduct of the
war. At the present moment all is confusion,
because the popular sentiment is in a transition
state: but order will soon be evolved out of
political chaos, and the counter-revolution will
stand triumphant and acknowledged by all.
Tho excitement and indignation produced
throughout the land by Gen. Burnside’s high
handed and illogal proceedings against Mr.
Vallandigham, and his silly course in suppress
ing the Chicago Times, because it commented
severely upon those proceedings, aro among
tho uomi&takablo evidences of tho revolution
that is taking place in the public mind. Re
publicans as well as Democrats have protested
against snch measures, as not only unconstitu
tional, but extremely impolitic and dangerous.
Tho Legislature oi Illinois, by a vote of forty-
seven to thirteen, including twenty . Republi
cans, pronounced against tho military outrage
upon the Chicago paper.
The President, obeying his own humane in-
sticts and the popular will, is at last com
pelled to rebuko the Secretary of War and
Burnside together, by directing the latter to
revoke his order overthrowing by military
force tho freedom of tho press in his depart
ment. If Mr. Lincoln would now issue a
countermand to the order sending Vallanding-
ham into exile, he would wisely crown his con
ciliatory policy, and give a moral blow to the
radicals in the Cabinet and out of it, by whose
advice so unfortunate a step was taken. It was
this “ political blunder, worso than a crime,”
that developed and brought out the latent pop
ular feeling against the. administration at tee
great meeting of the Democracy in this city on
Wednesday last—a meeting of thirty thousand
men, headed by Fernando Wood, and breath
ing an earnest and unfaltering determination
to pnt a stop to hostilities against the South
ern States, aud to restore tho Union, not by
the science of war, but by the arts of peace.
The prolonged exile of Vallandigham will con
tinue to furnish fuel for the fiamp throughout
tho whole of the Presidential campaign; and
it will be the more effective because it is‘utter
ly unjustifiable, upon any principle known to
our Constitution and laws, contrary to all pre
cedent in our history, and stripped even of the
plea of necessity.
The platform of the Democracy in the Pres
idential campaign of 1864 will be peace; and
what is more, the candidate will be elected, no
matter who he is, the principle controlling all
other considerations. Tho people have lost all
faith in the efficacy of the war to restore tho
Union. They aro preparing to try what virtue
there is in peace. '

THE FIGHT IN CULPEPER COUNTY.
The reports of the late fight in Culpepet coun
ty, brought down by passengers on the Central
train yesterday cvening,aro hardly m6re satisfacto
ry than those which had previously reached us. That
our forces were surprised there, seems no longer
any reason to doubt, and that they fought gallant
ly after they recovered from the confusion into
which they were at first thrown is also certain. It
is equally certain that the battle terminated with
the repulse of the enemy Itnd the advantage on our
side, tho enemy’s loss in killed and wounded, and
in the number of prisoners captured, being consid
erably greater titan that sustained by our forces.
The greater portion of our wounded have been
sent back to Gordon-yille, where about 125 had
been received up to twelve o’clock yesterday. The
whole number of wounded in the engagement, it
is behoved, will amount to 150 to 200. The num
ber of killed it is thought will not exceed 60. The
number of officers slain is greatly out of propor
tion to the number of meu, which is accounted for
by their exposing themselves in efforts to rally
their commands after tho first onset of the enemy.
Our whole loss, including prisoners is put down at
between 800 and 400. A passenger who came
down on the train says that we had five Colonels
killed, but could not recollect any names in .addi
tion to those given by ns yesterday morning.

and §outh would have been the grandest triumph
ever achieved by republicanism; it would have
compelled the admiration of the world. As it is the
republicanism has never been so dead in Europe as
now. Tho people see that republics, or the men
who administer their governments, have tho same
pride, passions and lust of empire that influence
sovereigns; while, being always unstable in their
positions they have not the responsibilities that we
have who seek to consolidate dymonarchies of Eu

San Antonio, Texas, May 12, 1SG3.
Editor Telegraph—Last evening an express ar
rived from Eaglo Pass to a gontleman in this city,
with tbe following important intelligence. I can
vouch for its being perfectly reliable:
On tho 28th of March an express arrived in
Chihauhau, from Acting Governor Orncy, of New
Mexico, to Gov. Fcrrares, of Chihauhau, with a
request-that ho meet lxim (Orney) at El Paso, on
the 5th day of April, for the purpose of arranging
for tho occupation of the State by Federal troop3.
To which Gov. Fcrrares replied that his official du
ties would prevent his meeting Gov. Orney in El
Paso, but would be pleased to see him in Chi
hauhau. On the 14th March another express ar
rived in Chihauhau with a communication to Gov.
Ferrares, from Acting Governor Orney, in which
he stated that he had received orders from Presi
dent Lincoln to give protection to the States of
Chihauhau and Sonora, and to do so effectually he
would have to occupy both the States with United
StatCB troops.
It yet remains to be sejn against what they are
going to protect them—probably the French.
Your*, &c., John L. Bryabt,
Captain P. A. U. S.
From the Chronicle & Sentinel.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
Mr. Editor.:—Seeing in the Richmond papers
an account how desperately and gallantly Barks
dale’s Brigade fought the Yankees in the late bat
tle, please let .the people of Georgia know that
they were also represented by Read’s Battery in
the fight ;-and that that Battery .was the last to
leave the field. Even the famous Washington-Ar
tillery left before us. We lost no guns; had one
caisson blown up; and shotthe last round of can
ister at tho enemy before we retired from the field.
In the advance in tlio moraine: our battery was in
front when Gen. Gordon’s Brigado stormed the
heights and'took them. We lost Lieut. Frederick
Habersham killed, Sergeant Hugh Young, badly
wounded; privates G. H. McCall, badly wounded.
Missing and prisoners: F. W. Johnson, J. Flem
ing, E. J. Bulkley.
Pleaso publish [the above in justice to Read’s
Georgia Battery. One os Them.
. A letter received in this city from a member of
Read’s Battery says: that when the order was
given to retire, the men asked the privilege of
firing one more shot. While the guns were being
loaded for this round, a shell from the enemy burst,
over the head of Lt. Habersham, killing him in
stantly. T^e effect of the last round fired from
tho RBitory-na w-rrtfle, moving down the Feder
ate before it, and leaving an opening m the ranks
resembling more a broad street than anything else.
