Arrival of the New Governor of the Tervitory—HMeeting of the Legislature—Governor Dawson's First Messaye—His Views on the Retellion—General News, &c. Since the departure of Governor Cumming for a rusti” cation in the States, we have been under the particular guardianship of two secretaries up till last Saturday morning, when Mr. John W. Dawson, late editor of the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Timer, made his appearance as our bona fide Governor. At the same time, ex-CGovernor Doty arrived as Superintendent of Indian Affairs, accom- panied by Amos Reod, fisq., as his secretary ia that de- Partment. With the exception of a United States Mar- shal and United States District Attorney, the fuk quota Of federai appointees is now mado up by these arrivals We have John W. Dawson, Indiana, over nor; Frank Feller, New Hampshire, Secretary; S. R. Fox, Wisconsin, Surveyor General: James Duane Doty, Wisconsin, Superintendent .of Indian Af- fairs; J. . Kinney, Nebraska, Chie€ Justice; R. P. Flen- nikon, Pennsylvania, aud H. R. Crosbie, Virginia, Asso- clate Justices. It is premature to speak of the new ar- rivals, and with some of the others we are not too well Slate's rights wun considers his Slate as hav ing political Fights and sovereiguty, above and independent of the jorni uion, aod that, therefore, it may, for cause to be determined by iis own discretion, withdraw from te | Union, or resist its author ty, without afforaing just casse | for wer «poo it. It is desply to be deplored that differences so radical should existamong the people of the United States: for their tendency is to impair the harmony of fecling and | unity of iaterest and purpores which seentiat to the full developement of the national promperity and power. | | No wise man who surveys (he magnificent and iaperiat | territory upon which the Provi 0 of God has placodthe people of the United states can fail to believe that | they shontd remain one nation and one people; | it may be one from many, but ye: ome rey! | | the aatious, and tha: th true interests and giory are in unity and poace. fut the differences are that have resulted ine cist and te lage historic truth that they di wh the f tion of the federal Uw voution of wise aud ral constitution of 1787, theee differances coat tw Most corions Obstacles to the framing of the consi and,» terwards, to its adoption Had f mop of exit sy bei wee @f,and the assertion of t Carried ty its natural reanit wi Mt exini er rolignty beer the Amer) having nobly strnggled to a glorious & the Keven years’ war for independence, insiead « the Union which gave thon cir-ngiy snd started thens upon a Gareer of match cvs Prosi would have been divided ity Stale, without netioual resources, witho t aational dignity and jer, and over at tho me if foreign foes and of th itiah empire, again&t which their unjied tae given thom success.

Tt Is not my purpose to take a partisan, but a dispas- sionate and patriotic view of our national troubles, and i doing co I would fulsify the truth of history should I fail to say that neither the Northern le nor. the Souwhern people arc whelty free from blame for the evil that has come wpon the nati_n. Upon a question like that of slave- a which has been the most prominent among the causes jturbing the harmony of the Union—a question inyoly- ing moral, religious, social and political considerations, pose =| which wise and men in different ages have widely differed—it was not wise for men in either section of the Union to assume to be wholly right aud their opponents wholly wrong, nor wise to allow diferences of opinion to ripen into a sectional party spirit and hatred so intense and rancorous that they usurped the throne of reason, and incapacitated men from seeing measures and events, except as through a giass darkly. lappctges ares passion 1s over ap unsafe me- dium through which to look either upon men or things. ‘he fedoral constitution had dealt with the subject of slavery as a political ono, in the spirit of compromise, and it was the duty of all mon loyal to the constitution to continue go to deal with it. It was not, there- fore, well for the people of either section to give bced and influence to the sayings of mou of extrome opinions in regard to it. The for- maticu of a political party: in the Northern States upon the distinct basis of hostility to slavery, insignificant as that party was in its beginning, was ominous of evi!.

The Flight of Floyd. . 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD, The rebel account published in your columns of the ‘24th instant, from the Richmond Whig of December 11, of the flight of Floyd’s army, contains many circum- stances of iuterest to our community, some of which have a very important bearing upon the conduct of the pursuit by our forces. As the dispositions and action of General Benham, the Union commander, have been called in question, I beg permission to point out to your readers the decisive testimony which that account beara to the vigor and ability which General Benham displayed on that occasion. 1. General Bonham has been censured for not sending a body of 800 men, stationed at Cassiday’s Mills, to inter- cept the cnomy’s retreat by the Fayetie road on tho morning of the 13th instant, after his sharp skirmish of the previous afternoon. In fact, General Bonham did order that force to move thus, with the single condition “if it were deomed safe;” and tho Adjutant who bore the order, and the Colonel to whom it was given, agreed in deoming it unsafe. The order, therofore, was not executed, Now, the rebel account which you publishod oxpressiy states that, loarning that the Union troops were in pur. suit, the whole force of Floyd in their retreat actually haited and made preparations to receive an attack. “The brigade retreated back to Fayetteville, and halted to guard the road by which the onemy was oxpected to como in to attempt to cut off our retreat.” Had thesmali force from Cassiday’s Mills vontured upon an attack, they would havo found themselves engaged with Floyd’s whole force, halted to receive thom, and would undoubtedly have ex- porienced a sévoro repulse, which would have given Floyd tho prestige of victory, checked the pursuit, and enabled Floyd to move off at his leisuro and save hi* train. Benham’s cautious order sayod that division of his force from disaster, and ¢he whole army the mortifica- tion of a serious check. 2. The account attests the vigor of the pursuit. “The enemy,” continues this narrator, “ seemed to have the aivautage, and pursued faster than our men could rotreat.’* Floyd had the advantage of moving some twenty hours before his flight was discovered, and this poriod was, for the maost part, good weather, while Bonham pursued through tho rain which subsoqvent came on, and which made the roads very difficult. Not- withstanding this difficulty, however, he Mnally overtook the main body of the enemy, and brought on an action which threw the rebels into utter confusion. Certainly nothing short of the most vigorous activity could have achieved such @ result through disadvantages like these. a, Genoral Benham fought the main body of th» rebel C88. It bas been ly said that the only’ at. anecring!: 'y 4d consiated of a single company of cavalry. But this account shows that the cavalry wore onty two miles in 's Mills ‘Their tont: place, am win retroat, infected the infantry with panic, so Una they fod in beam ead Chi pnp ee our troops a4sequeatly “came upon them ,evon cauaca, and fired six shots upon the rear of the bri - 4. The flight was absoi:to and disgracefal, and was at- tended with great loss of equipnge and stores. Tho robvel writer says they“ barned about 300 tents, #o- veral baios of Liankels and overcoats, a umber of mess chests, camp cquipaga of ail kinds, and flour barrels burst and their contents scattered on the ground—~ ) proveat the enemy trom getting them.” Besides i. joned “‘fifteen wagons,’ and threw away ls was certainly a very complete and 5. This ant would have captured (hia rebel force bad he not boon or- dered wu vinue the tual, eas already upon —pursuing, “even with can- ’ fastor than they could retreat. His shot reachod yon the flying “brigade” of infantry, to which the rear guard of cavalry bad imparted their fears. Thore can thea, thai had he been aliowod Ww go cn n he would bave overtaken theso wearied and disorganiaod forces of tho rebels, and routed or cap- tired them all. But the unhappy appointment by Rore- |. Schenck to supersede him, aud the mourn- fot order of Sehenck to discontinue the pursuit, made this complete success impossible. For tho oxcape from disaster at Fayotte, and for tho Ofliciont and successful pursuit, the country is indebted to Gev. Benham; and,as the reward of the zoal and courage whieh have routed an army of the rebels, and in (he language of thoir revel wrifer, “ends the iit fated campaign in Virginia in a biazo of giory for the Yankees,” he is arrested, stigmatized as a coward, and forbidden to wear bis sword, by men who did pot come within sight of the enemy. The court of inquiry which would vindicate his fame, and place the censure of Floyd's escape where impartial examination will show that it ceaily belongs, is refused by the immediate superior whose conduct it would in- vestigate; a court martial is throatencd, and a month elapses, during which General Benham can give no other idea of the charges to be preferred against him than is to be gathered from the contradictory and irresponsible re- xta_o€ newspaper correspondents.
