FRIDAY, NAY 9, 1862 THE LATENT WAR _NEWS As we It ceive further accounts of the battle at e become more im premed with ex tent and desperate character, and of the glorious vic tory won by our troops. Being, as it was, the only battle on the peninsula—for the preceding encoun tare between the Union and rebel forees rose only to She dignity of shbiai,.has—it shows the kind of soldiers General ItleClellan's army is composed of, and to what a dvgreo of drill and discipline they hove uttointd. Thu bottle commenced at an early hour on Monday morning, and was most fiercely contested until afternoon, the rebels being en trenched behind massive earthworks. At three o'clock General McClellan arrived upon the field with fresh troops, thus relieving General Hooker's division, which had borne the brunt of the battle with considerable loss, and driving the rebels from their position. The loss of the enemy was very great, seven I,2l+th - A a 'atoll- dead and maay wounded having been left on the field : Our loss is placed at seven hundred wounded and three hun dred killed_ The several Pannsylvania and. New Jersey regiments were included in our force, and WW2 di.tinetion, as is attested by their losses. The Twentv-elath Penns;dvania Re g iment, wader 001. William F. Small, demands particular mention, though all did well and bravely. Comlnodore Dupont, in official despatches from Port Royal, bas communicated to the Navy De partment details of a successful expedition to capture a battery near the junction of the llawho, Paw raw, and south Edisto rivers, which took place on the 29th ult. When about a mile from the battery, the enemy opened fire on the steamer flair, but, perceiving her undaunted advance, fled hastily. A dciaelment was then lauded for the purpose of destroying the work, which mounted two suns. "No one hurt on our side." The Last of Mr. Russell The return of Dr. dussELL to England has not led to a declaration of rfar. The we have not :he least doubt, was delighted to have a pretext fitr his return, for the gentle man was a very expensive "special cor respondent," as circumstances occurred, and he was pretty well " played out," if we may use such a familiar but expressive term. Mr. jivsst•LL had his Marengo in Ireland, hit Aus terlitz in the Crimea, his %Vagrant in India, and his Waterloo in America. After nume rous victories, he was self-defeated bore. Thc fi';rolcs Mutues the President for not al owing Dr. liessem. to accept "General Mc- CLkIL3N'S to accompany the army." It is &Irbil el whether such an invitation was given. At all events, it is the opinion of a numorous class that the error was nut in civilly telling Dr. Et:ssELl, that his room would be more welcome than his company, as:the old saying is, hut in originaliy, and fur a long time, giving him facilities to obtain, and some times peivert information, which American journals were not allowed to obtain or publish. The Times adds: "The Federal Government fears independent criticism. The troops Were desirous pr carrying with them a historian whom the world would believe. Mr. RUSSELL would have been received with joy in the rebel cam p b u t, owing to a scrupulous imputation that he would afford them useful information, he returned to England." Here is a remarka ble mixture of falsehood and candor. The Federal Government did not fear any fair cri ticism, but it disliked such long-continued and sit mi:: , represcutation and partisanship as Dr. RIMELE unhappily fell into. That our troops were desirous of carrying with them such a historian is simply a flourish without foundation in Cad - . The confession that "MV. Russell would have teen received with joy in the rebel camp," exhibirs an unexpected candor, and shows, indeed, the strongest possible rea am fur coilt , i6Crilig - that Mr, livr , a 11,14, to ac ceptable in the rebel, should not have been ad mitted into the Federal camp. TUE LOTA LTI.! of the Bteekiheiden is of a peculiar kind. They never speak of a Union victory that they do not dwell with a peculiar unction upon ilh; feart'ttl slaughter tit Ivhio,l it was purchased. Said an orthodox Breckin ridger, when the news of the fall of Donelson reached an interior Pennsylvania village— " Yes, the Union men whipped the Southerners, but we lost five times as many men as they did !" These men credit every exaggerated rumor of our losses, and diner - edit every rumor of the defeat of the rebels. In rite., they never sleep so soundly as when some mon strous lie to our disadvantage gains a brief credit in the streets and fills a thousand hearts with auxivus forebodings. Such are the men who are plotting the ruin of the Government, and moving heaven and earth to yoke the loyal. Democracy to their car, Otta READERS will be rejoiced to learn that the diflieuliies between the miners and their employers in Schuylkill eentity, have been settled without bloodshed, by an amicable agreement. This fortunate termination of what at one time threatened to prove a serious outbreak, is peculiarly gratifying to the friends of our citizen soldiery who were sent to Itlinersville, as well as to the parties to the dispute, and those engaged in business pur suits which arc in any way dependent upon a vigorous prosecution of the coal trade. FOCAIIOI4T.AI3 3 the place to wltiolt GARD'S artoy is reported to have fall-An back, is a station on the Memph!s and Cbayles:on Railroad, situated in Southwestern Tennesiee, a short distance from Corinth. His obj ct in going there tray be to preserve his communi cation with Memphis, which is almost due west, and with toe railway lines running south through Mississippi. TIOCBREGEINIIIPQERO are suffering fearful depression of spirits since the fall of New Orleans and the rebel hegira from Yorktown. These reverses to their friends and allies seem 4..0 . put the possibility of a dishonorable peace beyond their utmost achievement. A slight reverse to our arms now would somewhat lighten their sorrow, but it would require a Waterloo of the Union cause to put them in high good humor. Omm or , the regiments engaged in the late battle at Williamsburg was commanded by Col. WM. F. SMALL, and nearly all the men it contained were formerly residents of this city. It evinced great gallantry, and suffered con siderable tors, as will be seen by the list of kill ed and wounded, which is published in another column. COTTON SEED FOR EXPERIMENTAL CULTURE The Agricultural Department of the Patent Office hem recently sent to Dr. Kennedy, the secretary of Philadelphia Agricultural Society, fop dietsil,odo,,, among the members, several packages of the Green Seed Cotton, said to be the best adapted to the climate of the Middle States. The following are the directions for its cultivation issued by the De partment: Plant from let to 10th of May. Plough the ground well, then harrow it. Mark it out in rows five feet apart. If the land is thin, put some g ood twrilllz.r lo the row lacroro planting Plat dve seeds in each bill, the hills one foot apart in the row. Cover it tightly with a hoe. When four inches high. thin it out to cne stalk in a hill, and cultivate as you would corn. A light alluvial soil, with a southern exposure, is best adapted to the growth of cotton. .

LETTER FROM • OCCASIONAL • WASHINGTON, May 8, 1.882 A document called the address of Demo cratic r v en,bers of Congress to the Democracy of the United Stall's appears in the National Jaielligenerr this morning. It is signed by only fourteen moutbrrs of Iho house. Not a Ana , le DerilJAr3t in the Sonata and nut a Asgl.s Representative. from the Border States seems to have given it his sanction. And when its statements are eNatithlcd, in the light of' history and tested by fair argumentation, even those who have endorsed it will be heartily ashamed of it. No more emphatic admonition of the purposes entertained by the leaders of the present Democratic organization could have been laid before the American people than this cAtroorctinary production. Noe a single word appears in this address in favor of the war for the TM:ha Enald , e of the. Government, or A. opposition to the Tehels who ure fighting for its overthrow. is it not amazing, in such a crisis as this, while nearly seven hundred thou sand freemen are offering their lives as a sa crifice to the flag—while hundreds of families are um - tuning toe loss of their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers, and with the r 1 ,COT__ before __e r . l ea of am ITloll*troll9 atrocities perpetrated upon the wounded who have fallen into the hands of the traitors, arid even upon the dead bodies of those who died in honorable battle—that distinguished gentlemen, professing to represent a large portion of the people of the United Stases, should deliberately and coldly refuse to say that the war in which are now engaged is a just war, and that it is being conducted to . vreserve the freest and most gAfterotta Go vernmeut in the world? The bravery, and the skill, and the moderation which have'extorted front hostile and foreign nations expressions of astonishment and praise, do not awaken a sin gle throb in the breasts of these fourteen as Democratic members of Congress." In stead of this, we find a studied effort to mis represent the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, mid the freshest and plainest events of the last two years. I have not time now to point out more than one or two of the most flagrant instances of this misrepresentation. The ad- dress says: We do not propose to consider now the causes which led to the present unhappy civil war A fitter time will come hereafter for such diseussion. But we remind you now that compromise made y our Union, and compromise, fifteen mouths ago, WOO/ //APO Wed it, Repeated elferte were amide at the last session of the Thirty sixth Congress to this end. At every stage, the great mass of the South, with the whole Democratic party, and the whole Constitutional Union party, of the North and Wtst, united in favor of certain amendments to the Constitution—and chief among them, the well known t. Crittenden Propositions," which would have averted civil war, and; maintained the Union. At every stage, all proposed amendments incousist set with the eectioual doetrines of the Chicago platform were strenuously end I.lo+ll:lMOuslyreai6ted and defeated by the Republican party. The best witness to refute this astounding assertion is Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee . , who, in the Senate of the United States, on time Dist of January last, used the following iall gv age ; The Senator told us that the adoption of the Clark amendment to tha Crittendeu resolutions defeated the settlement of the questious of contro versy ; and that, but for that vote, all could hare been peace and prosperity now. We were told tied the Click amendment defeated the Crittenden cempromite, and prevented a settlement of the controversy. On this point I wiil read a portion of the speech of my worthy and talented friend from CalttorDia, [Mr. Latham,] and when I speak of him thus, Idoitiu no unmeaning sense. I in tend that he, not I, shall answer the Senator from Delaware. I know that sometimes, when gentle. men era fixing up their pretty r , 6torieal flourishes, they do not take time to see all the sharp corners they may encounter. if they ran make it readable sentence, and lleatmn in a smooth, easy stream, all goes well, and they aro satisfied. As I have said, the Senator from Delaware told us that the Clark amendment was the turning point in the whole matter; rhat from it had flowed rebellion, revolu tion, war, the ,-hooting and imprisonment of people in different Statesperhaps ne meant to include my own. This was the Pandora's box that has been opened, out of which 'all the evils that now afilietthe land have flowed. Thank God t still have hope that all will yet he saved. My worthy friend from California, (Mr. Latham,) during the last ses sion of Congress, made one of the best speecties he ever made. I bought five tbousitud copies of it for distribution, but I had no nointliqnanta ro send them to. [laughter;] and they have been lying iu your docuuded room ever since, witn mho Fttcyptiell <4' 4 frw,wbieh I thought would dogged in Milt: quarters. In the course of that speech : upon this very point, ho made use of them' tau:arks : "Sir. President, being test winter a na-oful eye wit liefift at all Ilia oCCUrleilt 1 soon became PI ittslied that it was ts deliberate, wiltnl destgu, on the part of some Re pteEentittiTes of Southern States, to seine upon the elec tion cl Sir. Lincoln merely :el au exculo to precipitate 1 alien-v(4lMo') noon the canary. evidence, to my tided, is the fact that South Carolina never .tent. her *ma- I toss here." Then they certainly were not influenced by the Clark amendment. Ati additional evidence is, that when gentleman on this floor, bl their Notre, could two e v nerolkal 106i514. Von, they refused to cast them for fear that the very proposition submitted to this tiod;, might have as intik • rice in changing the opinions ui their constituencies. Why, sir, when the resolutions autnoitte4 by„the S-tistor from New Hamesbire [Sir. Clark] were off.red as an entendannt to the Crittenden presositime, for the MIMI,- lest purpose of etutainaseing the letter, anti the vote taken on the 16th of January, 1861, I ask, what lint we see'?

I sat right behind Mr. Benjamin, and I am not sure that - my worthy friend was not close by, when ho refused to vote, and I said to him, i Mr. Ben jamin, why do you not vote? Why not save this proposition and see if we cannot bring the coun try to it ?" lie gave me rather an abrupt answer, and said he would control his own action without consulting me or anybody else. Said I, pll veto and show yourself an honest man." As soon as the vote was taken, he and others telegraphed South, "We cannot got any compromise." Here wore fis Southern men refusing ti vote, when the amendment would have bean rejeete& by four ma jority if they had voted. Who, then, has brought these evils on the country ? Was it Mr Clark ? Be was acting out his own policy ; but with the help we had from the other side of the Chamber, If all those on this wide had been true to the Con stitution and faithful to their constituents, and had acted with fidelity to the country, the amendment cf the Senator from New Hampshire could have been voted down, the defeat of which, the Senator from Delaware says, would have saved the coun try. Whose fault was it ? Who is responsible for it? I think that is not only getting the nail through, but clenching it on the other stile, and the whole staple corsusudity is taken out of the speech. Who did it? Southern traitors, as was said in the speed' of the Senator from California. They did it. They wanted no compromise. They accomplished their object by withholding their votes; and hence the country has been involved in the present dim culty. Lei, me read another extract from this speech of the Senator from California : recollect full well the joy that purl - stied the faces of Renee of [hoer, gentlemen ut the result, and the sorrow manitesnd by the venerable ,senator from Kentucky, (Mr. Crittenden) The record ghoul that Ku Pugh.from Ohio, despeiting of any compromise between the extremes of ultra Itepubocans and Distinionists, working mani festly for the same end, moved, immediately after the vote Was announced, tc lay the whole subject on the table If you will turn to page 443, the same volume, YOU will find, ~ban, at n Into. period, Mr Clomoron, from Pommy' mois t moved to reconsider the vole, appeals having been re sde to sustain those who were struggling to preserve the peace of the country, that the vote was reconsidered ; seal alien, at last, the Otittenden propositions were sub- Bullied on the 9.1 day of Mara, alarm Southern Staten having nearly all situated, they were then lost by but one vote. Here is the vote: I • Tess—Messrs. Bayard. Bigler. Bright, Crittenden, Gwin, Hunter.

Anthony, Bingham, Chandler, Clark, Dixon, Doolittle, Donee, Fe.senden, Foot, Foster, Grimes, Harlan, tilog, Morrill. Runnier, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson, and Wilson-20.' It these seeding Southern Senators had remained, there would have gassed, by a large vote, (as it did with out them,) an amendment, by a two.third vote, for bidding Congress ever interfering with shivery to the Etatet. The Crittenden proposition would have been en (toned by a majority vote, the subject finally going I.lore ihe p‘eele, 665.1t1+ )414, at«, ...Aden.- tke, refw,rd justice, for any length of time, to any por tion of the country. "I believe more, Mr. President. that these gentlemen were acting in pursuance of a settled and fixed plan to break lip and &stray this Government." When we had it in oar power to. vola down the amendment of the Senator from New Hampshire, and adopt the Crittenden resolutions, certain Southern Senators prevented it and yet, even at a late Jai or the seeeion, dter they heel seceded, the Crittenden proposition was only lost by one vote. If rebellion and blood shed and murder have followed, to whose skirts dues the responsibility attach ? I summed up all these facts myuelf in a speech during the lest session; but I have pre ferred to read from the speech of the Senator from California, he being better authority : and having presented the fame better than I could. It may - be alleged by Mr. Vallandigharn, whole name is of course attached to this ad dress, and who was probably its author, that because the Republicans did not vote for the Crittenden Compromise, therefore this formal declaration of the CC Democratic members of Copgresn" stands uncontradicted i but Andrew Johnson, in the same speech from which I have quoted, shows that the Republicans gave the strongest assurances of their disposition and determination to do everything to con vince the people of the South that they in- tended no violation of the Constitution, and no infraction of the rights of any State of the Union. He says : " What else was done at the very same session? The WINO of Representatives passed,, and sent to tbis body, a proposition to amend the Constitution el the United tttates. as to prohibit Congress fruit ever hereafter intevering with the institution of slavery in the Starts, making that restriction a part of the organic law of the land. rhatconstitutional Mt,Slt, MS we bore after tbe St.,T era from scent, States had seceded ; and yet it wits pissed by a two•third vote in Om Senate II se you ever hoard of any one of the States which had then seceded, or which has since taking up that !unmet. 'bent to the Constitution. and saying thay would ratify it. and make it a part of that instrument? No Does not the whole history of this rebellion tell you that it was residence that the leaders wanted, that they started for, that they intended to have ? The facts to which I have rWerred Anis how the Crittenden nropt.si'ion might have been carried ; and when the Senators from the slave States were red need to one-fourib of rite members of ,61„ the two Douses passed a proposition 10 WllOll6l the Constitution. so as to guaranty to the States perfect security in regard to the institution of slavery in all future time, snd prohibiting Congress from le gislating on the subject." It is in the face of such a record as this that these ct Democratic members of Congress" now come forward and LC appeal to thejonsnals of Congress and to the Congressional Globe" to establish the deliberate allegation that, during the last session of the Tinrty-sixth Con gross, repeated efforts at compromise were nude, c 4 and at every stage all proposed amendments inconsistent with the sectional doctrines; of the Chicago platform were strenu ously and unanimously resisted and defeated by the Republican party." lint these fourteen Democratic tuembera of Congress tiro met by other evidence equally overwhelming. Oa the 17th of December, 1800, shortly after the election of 31r. Lincoln , and before Secession bad taken place, the House of Representatives of the 'Wilful States adopted the following preamble and resolution: " &Teas, the Gentiti'lliioll of the 'United States is the supreme law of the laud, and its ready and faithful (Ave) ValleC the duty of all good and law abiding citizens : Therefore, " Risolved. That we deprecate the spirit of dig. uludienon to that Constitution wherever manifest ed. and that we earnestly recommend the repeal of all statutes, including personal-liberty bills, so called, enacted by State Legislatures, conflicting with. and in violation of that sacred it/strut/lent, and the laws of Congress made in pursaauee thereof." This resolution, calling upon all the States to repeal their personal-liberty bills, wat passed by te Nnalkilhous , oo'e and the States, acting in the same spirit, did proceed to reconsider them, and, in some cases, repeal them, al though they were shown to be totally inetne jive ; and for ten years they had never caused the escape of a single fugitive slave. And again, on the motion of the Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio, at a later day, the follow= ing resolution was passed by the same body : " Ee6olved, That ueb her Cougress nor the people or Goverbruehts 01 the nou-blaveholding States have the right to legislate upon or interfere with slavery in any of the slaveholding States in the This resolution wits adopted by a unanimous tole, and limo HIM knew it. COMlLattee was sppointed to see if further measures of cenciliati,m could not be adopted in eider to avert aril war, and Mr. Corwin, a distinguished eitiz , .o of Ohio, repored vari JIM prolositions. All the Territories of the United ,States were organized on laws pissed by Con 6s, whieb, i believe, leuvived the =whims rote of both houses. These laws were framed by Mr. Green, of Missouri, snd by Mr. Grow, one a Democrat and the other a Republkein, and were passed by the unanimous vote of bovh Jisnses; and therefore that question was out or the way. It will hardly be believed that it is upon such arguments as are contained in the extract from the Congressional address the Demo cracy of the United Stata aro called ttpoli to organize and act. The sianers to this address, not content with the complacentmisrepresent mien VhiCh I have just exposed, pronounce the following verdict against the General Ad ministration : "And yet, the history of the Administration for the twelve 000ths past has-been, and continues to UP, a history of repeated usurpations of power, and of violations of the Constitution, and of the public and private rights of the citizen. For the proof we appeal to facts too recent to need recital here, and too flagrant libtiheiLous for the calm narrative which we propugo.?? It is only necessary to reply to this by re calling public attention to the fact that every step taken by the Administration was to pre serve the Government from annihilation, to save the National Capital from capture and bloodshed, and to resist the attacks of a band of traitors intent upon the overthrow of our liberties. Amin' Mr. Lincoln is to-day the ob ject of the veneration and gratitude of the Ame rican people, as I believe bim to be, it is be. cause he resorted to these measures, (and for the glorious objects in view,) so virulently de nounced by these fourteen Democrats. Both branches of Congress by a nearly unanimous vote sanctioned his conduct, and every one of his subsequent steps will undoubtedly be sus tain< d by the same authority, when the reasons tbat.promptrd dim are made public, Is it pos. Bible that these CC Democrats" desire lo be un derstood as the apologists and defenders of the men whet were only defeated by the vigor and promptitude of the Administration ? What other comment can be suggested by the plea they now set up as a reason for opposing the constituted authorities in the ma qag Ineut of the war? But the subjoet grows upon ma, and will be discussed on another ocea•ion. Oceastos-aL. LETTER FROM YORKTOWN.

[Correspondence of The Press.] IN T/16: FIE, ID BRyoso TORKTOW Mir 5, 1862-9 P. 51. since my last letter to The Press, dated April 30, great events have transpired. The enemy has ake. addled from Yorktown, and the rear gnarl of our army isoaroccopy that place, while the advance la far ahead. Being unavoidably absent from this point, and only returning today, I was not able to be present on the morning when our troops entered Yorktown. I left Furtresii klunroe this morning in the steamer Nelly Baker, and in a few hours was landed at the wharf at Yorktown. A steady rain rendered the trip somewhat disagreeable, but pleaaant companions soon dispelled all thoughts of rain, and, as we Noised its a Maok6tosb, we inwardly thought that the rain-god might send as lunch rain as he pleased. By the time the boat entered York river, however, the fain had, in a pest tonseure l ceased, and wg an stood on the deck, eLjosing the primped on each side of the river, Numberless transports and other vessels lay at anchor, while formidable batteries commanded the channel; but thcj Were hartoleee, fcr 44cir late ocemptute bad fled, no one knew whither. On the heights of Gloucester were large earthworks, apparently for heavy guns, but all the light guns had been removed, and the heavy guns that they were unable to carry spiked and dismounted. But the boat has landed, and we go ashore. IMllle diately we see signs of the late occupants. There is a box front Richmond, and directed to the Medical Pur veyor, C. S. A.. Another is directed to a lieutenant in the Louisiana volunteers i other articles, too numerous to mention, lie around in totifiLleu. Yorktown, however, is beyond, and thither must we direct our steps. Up the steep ascent, sinking mid-log in mud at every step, we pass on until we come to the main entrance of the fortifications that surround York. town. fiere we aro stopped by the sentry, and the officer of the guard informs us that none but generals aml staff officers are allowed to enter. We snake known our mission, and produce our passes from the command ing general, Generous officer of the guard ! Ire waf not Meted to keep correepondente out, and we are allowed to pass. In Yorktown, a universal desolation stares us in the if6l• NYVFY 1.19U9 h4l Peen gentle% end we enter, hoping to obtain some Seraph relic, butfound nothing ex. cept an order for whisky from one of the Georgia chivalry, two old Richmond papers, with no news in them, an ac count of rations drawn for a company, two or three old pamphlets, a piece of a phonographer's text book, and some cartridges. Moat of the houses had been used as hospitals, and so sudden was the evacuation that, in some caeca, the bed-clothing was left on the cots, while drum and old prescriptions wore scattered round in great prolu.lon. In one Itre•place, I paw a great heap or car tridges, some for the smooth-bore musket, and others for the Enfield rifle, and evidently of English manufacture. In one of the houses, I saw several of the Borman fuses for .11.611,,.. Out into the streets again, all is desolation. Here and these is an old field gun, whose days of usefulness are long gone by. But there is nothing more to be seen in Turklown ; the rear guard of the army is commencing to ' t ote, atil We 11.111xt Liu off.

The Bigelow stamp ormolu of taxation does not seem to be meeting with as much tavor as at en earlier stage of the bill. To. day two long peti tions were presented, signed by Bosto t merctiants, re monstrating against it. You will remember that a por tion of the Senate Finance Committee favor that system. It is evident, from the numerous amendments and the various b teresta represented here, that the bill will re ceive, as it deserves, a lengthy and critical consideration.

It bas always been one of the chosen re treats of she aristocracy during the warm weather, and if some enterprising pereonq from Philadelphia or New liork.would go there and open a good hoiel, it could not fail to be a met profitable enterprise.
