Tlw Loam as It was ; Tim Constitution as It Is i _ FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 25 4/4- Readlag softer on every page ARRANGED AT LAST. We have, upon frequent occasions, ex posed the trick which - the Abolition poli ticians of Pennsylvania, in conjunction with Forney, intend to play off upon the people, at the approaching fall election.— Forney's denunciations of the leading Dem ocrats olotir State for the past six months, stylingthem Breckinridge men. were all prepa*tory to the arrangement which he andhis - coadjutors have effected. A call isle be 'blued fora State Convention, to 'Whica'all , will be invited, and those who de_not, agree with this new Abolition dodge ammo be classed among the sympathizers wit,lOwjmllion. A number of Democrats were caught last fall in this way, and the experience they have had will not, we think, - induce them to try it again.

By a dispatch received last evening, but which we are prevented from publishing, we infer that the great battle of the cam paign at Yorktown is about to begin in earnest. If not prevented by the govern ment, we expect to receive stirring news any moment. I-u-k-a, referred to as having been take] possession of by General Mitchell's divis ion, is a station on the Memphis and Char leston railroad. in the Northeast corner o Mississippi, near the Alabama and Ten nessee State lines, twenty-two miles eas of Corinth, the headquarters of Beaure gard's army, 115 miles east of Memphis, and sixty-three miles from the grand Junc tion of the Memphis and Charleston and Mississippi railroads. The Female Sympathizers. It is stated that the female prisoners, Greenhow, Baxley and Morris, still linger in the Old Capitol prison. Mrs. Morris has not yet completed her preparations for her departure to Dixie. The others are ready and willing to go. The residences of several females in St. Louis, who have been in the habit of cheering Confederate prisoners as they passed along the streets, have been plated under military guard, and ti , occupants compelled to remain quietly at home. - --- - Operations in Florida. The town of Apalachieola. Florida, has beiM occupied by the l'edeml forces with out opposition. Several schooners were captured, one of them laden with cotton, and another with coGe, from Havana.— . Commander Stellwagen, of the Mereedita, and Lieut. Comiuttntlink A. J. Dtake, of the Sagamore, administered the oath of allegiance to a few of the inhabitants who remained in the place. Out of a popula tion of .9 fMi, all ltut At! had previously left, and most of these were women and children. A LETTER from Washington City says: While the Republicans were quarreling yesterday about the alleged short-comings of General Fremont, a portion of them deprecated assaults !Tull him now that he is in the field. At tin same time, in the other wing of the Capitol, Abolition Sena tors were indulging in disparaging allusions to General McClellan. It is stated by the Abolition organ this morning that the vet eran and accomplished General Hitchcock has returned from the neighborhood of! Yorktown and reports things to be satis factory. In this he only differs from the demagogues. McClellan, Lincoln and Stanton. The Philadelphia Ledger, in noticing the report of Mr. Stanton's probable resigna tion, gives the following information which is important, if true : The above rumor is probably premature,' but it points to a conclusion which seems very likely to happen. Mr. Lincoln, it is said, does not approve of the manner in which Mr. Stanton is represented to have rejected the advice of our best generals, and insisted on carrying on the campaign according to his own ideas. As an illus tration of the disastrous results following from this system, it may he mentioned that the pushing of Banks across the Potomac was done, it is alleged, in the face of a decided opposition on the part of Gen. McClellan. It may now be safely men. tioned that it was a part of Gen. McChtl lan's original plan to move on Richmond while the enemy were still at Manassas, and to cut them off and capture them. When he found that Banks was to be made independent of him, and sent over the Potomac, he protested against it, pointing out that such a flatware would result in the immediate evacuation of Manassas, and that the plan of the campaign would thus be altogether broken up. The event has justified the prediction. The troubles in the Cabinet, it is said, grew out of the difference of views in regard to the Virginia campaign, Mr. Lincoln himself supporting Gen. McClellan's plans. Such differences cannot exist without leading to a result such as the above rtunor probably antic; pates. from our ma corm our read combination remegades in led.

Ferguson, a native of New York, but latterly a resi dent of Potosi, Mo., was shot through the hips on Monday, and died of lockjaw a Week from the following Wednesday. He was a noble looking man, and the color bearer of the 18th Miesoun regiment, and as brave a span ae ever breathed. He was laboring under a mild form of typhoid fever when the battle came on, and was advised by his physicians not to go in . the field. However he stole quietly away and, took his place in hie regiment. He was the first man that planted the Stars and Stripes in the fort at the battle at Fort Donelson; and when he .fell, mortally wounded, at Pittsburg, Martin - Beem, of Alton, seized the American colors and bore them in triumph eighty yards fur ther. Mr. Ferguson received every atten tion of the aargeons, who took a deep in terest in his case. His body was carefully prepared for barial, and deposited in' a neat coffin, and his remains will rest in the Spring Grove Cemetery- till his friends have an opportunity to remoyn.i• if they desire to do so. - A White Child Bold in the City or Rochester. This morning a man residing in this city, called at` the office of a prominent lawyer, and there caused to have prepared a ; deed.. itinv.eying his child--an infant eight months .old, for a consideration in hand . paid. • The- instrument set forth a descnption of the child as it would have described' any chattel it might have beep framed to convey. The deed was ac knowledg.ed by the father, and duly deliv ered to the party of the second part who tidrin the child. has Th e presumption is that this action was accordmg to law. This is horrible ; but if - is nomore than Northern white men may do, and one has this day done in Roches ter. It is not necessary- to inquire into the circumstances attending the sale of the child this morning. It was not wirer tised,__ it_ was not by auction, but it was witiatheleiaabuolute c at.. the will entirely: of the father Of the ehild, .and the deed differed only from that of the sale of a pslave, that the child was only to be the roperty of the - purchaser twenty ye trs ittkti kat months, till it attained its Adpertuter ajoßookeskr (N.

I-u-k-a dent or the Itattle at NEWS FROM THELSOUTH We select the following' items from Southern papers: Brilliant Fight by:Capt. AshlAr tnvalry. - Ksoxvii.i.E, April 1 8.—Csiptaitt Ash ly, with three hundred cavalry, encountered seven hundred and fifty Lincolnites stam peding for Kentucky, near Jacksonboro, Tennessee. They had a hand to hand fight, and he succeeded in killing about seventy five and taking five hundred prisoners.— Our loss none killed, about twenty-five wounded—some mortally. No less than twenty-five hundred Lincolnites left East Tennessee for Kentucky since the Govern or's proclamation calling out the militia. iikirmish at White March Island Acc; 12 STA, April 18.-Th eSavannahMern ing News says a skirmish occured at White March Island, on Wednesday, between some companies of the Fifteenth Georgia and a Michigan regiment, in which the lat ter were repulsed with the loss of about twenty men. The Confederate loss in killed and missing was only five, and sev eral slightly wounded. Attack on Fort Macon. WILNIINGTos, April 18. —The enemy at tacked Fort Macon last Saturday, and had been fighting for two days. Colonel % hite sent out a part of hie men on the beach, and found three hundred Yankees. They killed fifteen of our men, and we then retreated back to the fort. Colonel ' White fired eannister at the enemy, killing large numbers. The enemy have built a battery on the beach and planted mortars and large size siege guns. There are eleven ships out side. • The enemy have sent to Newborn for ' gunboats to operate in the Sound. They are committing every imaginable outrage in the counties of Carteret and Ownslow. Fort Macon had not been taken. --- Interview with the French Min. We understand that on yesterday Dr. Lemoine, the representative of thirty thou sand French residents of Luoisiana, held an interview with M. le Comte Henri Mer cier, the French Minister to the United States, who arrived in this city from Wash ington on Wednesday. The result of the interview we have not aseertained,but it is very probable that mat ters were represented in their true light to the visiting Minister respecting the War, its causes and policy. D r . Len- w i nd is an enthusiastic sympathizer with the South, and is looked up to by those whose senti ments he speaks with confidence and vene ration. Hospital Preparations for the Wounded In the Coming Rat tle. From the Richmond Di:vetch, April lt;. There is a large number of sick and wounded soldiers now in our hospitals,and there must be rapid additions made from the army of the ptninsula, the more espe cially if there is a great battle there, as we may anticipate there will be in a few days. Everything should be done to promote the comtiirt and diminish the suffering of these poor fellows, who have proved their man hood and patriotism by periling their lives for their country. In this matter the la ' dies can he of great assistance, and their kind offices and gentle ministrations will be welcomed by those who direct the hos pitals. Ladies to take charge of the linen and supervise the preparation and supply , or it are needed. Those who desire to make themselves useful in this respect, I should address Dr. St. G. Peschv. New Fortifications Around Wil liamsburg. From the Petersburg Express, April 14. Another requisition, we understand, has just been made on the slaveholders of Prince George and Sorry counties, tbr nne htilphe negroes between the ages Q j six teen and fifty years, to go to Williamsbur g , to work on the fortifications in that eicini tg. Not knowing the exigencies of the public service, we presume the demand is all right ; but we have serious apprehen sions that these fertile counties will con tribute but a very small quota of the staff of life for the support of the country an other year. The abstraction of so great an amount of labor could not have occur red at a more critical moment. The Defenses of Richmond. A refugee from Richmond says that there are three batteries at four places on the James river, none of which void(' with stand a heavy tire from mailed gunboats. Hence the cry of the Richmond Dispafrh in its Friday's . issity to Strengthen the de fences of the river, in anticipation of "the . eorupletion of the iron gunboats, the ene my's right arm, now being rapidly pre pared for the ascent of our rivers;" for which it guesses that General McClellan defers his contemplated assault upon the peninsula. Guerilla iWarfare. Proclamations, urgng t rebel to form guerilla parties an d harrass he Union s soldiers and citizens, were issued by John Letcher last month, of which copies have been found by our advancing columns. In eoni pliance with these instructions, organi.l.ed bands are roaming through both. Western and Eastern Virginia, plundering and de vastating property, and carrying off loyal men. Several squads have been captured and seer to Wheeling fir trial. NEIFV DRESS GOODS NEW DRESS GOODS NEW DRESS GOODS N EW CA LIC'OEN CALICOES N EW CALicorm W.

They represent the Confederate forces at 100,000, and that they are busily engaged construetirig works in the rear of their present lines. They had no knowledge of the arrival of Jeff Davis. On Tuesday the rebels rains out from their rifle pits in front of Lee's Mills, killing one of our pickets. After he was dead about thirty of them fired their pieces into his head, completely rid dling it with bullets.

The correspondence of the , Mimsouri Re publican says : Colonel Slough, after the battle at Apache Canon, fell back and took position at Bernal Springs, 46 miles south of Fort Union. This was deemed the strategetieal point, being within Suort ing distance of Fort Union, a positio pp n to harrass the enemy and to form a junction with Canby when he should leave Fort Craig 300 miles south. We had been there one day, when Col. Canby sent from Fort Craig his Assistant Adjutant General with peremptory orders to Col. Slough to fall back with his column to Fort Union, which was immediately obeyed. It would seem that we crippeled the enemy in the tight at Apache Canon more t lan was believed at first. We have relia ble information that we killed over 100 men, including six officers; and wounded over 200. We have now prisoners at Fort Union, 21 officers and 82 privates. The enemy immediately fell back to Santa Fe, and are again, it is believed, concentrating in their old position at Albtirquerque. Yesterday an express arrived trom Col. Canby stating that, he would leave Fort Craig on the 31st of March. If the enemy is in the vicinity of Albur querque with ordinary traveling, Colonel Canby is in their immediate vicinity, and as our colunin,l 80 miles from Alburquer lue, will only leave this morning, he will be unsupported by this column, and with 000 regulars will have to encounter their fi , rces unless he can slip by and join the column which leaves here this morning. It is understood that Kit Carson, with a regiment of New Mexican volunteers, 700 strong, will remain and garrison Fort It is rumored that. Cols. Steele and Minor, of the Rebel army, are advancing into New Mexico with 800 additional men. Important events will probably occur be fore the next express leaves for the States. A well authenticated report has just reach ed here that the Texan forces, 2(100-strong; are entrenching themselves at Santa F 4.;, and that Col. Canby having' strengthened his command up to 1200 lofty miles South of Santa Fe. This may enable our two columns to act together and .make us 2100 strong. If this is the case we will have orie of the bloodiest battles on reeord. The enemy's artillery numbers about eighteen pieces, and ours twelve pieces.

He was opposed to any and all extreme measures, and for prosecuting the war on principles laid down at the ex tra session, that when the supremacy of the constitution and laws were re-estab lished toe warought to sense. Mr. Vallandinghant, of O.

I have watched it long ; I have seen it in secret- I have seen its movements ever since that party got together, with a colleague of mine in the other House as chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, a man who never had any sympathy with this republic, but whose, every breath is devoted to its destruction, just as far as his heart dare permit him to go." Mr. Vallandingham—H ere in my place in this House and us a Representative, I denounce, and I speak it advisedly, that the author of that speech is a liar, a scoun drel and a coward t His name is Benja min F. Wade. This produced a personal discussion be tween Mr. Blake and Mr. Vallandigham, the latter calling his declarat4xi false. Mr. Hutchins offered a resolution char acterizing Vallandingham's language as a violation of the rides of the House, and declaring him deserving of the censure of the House. Pending which the House ad journed. 5 lENATF:—Mr. Co!lamer spoke against original confiscation bill and was in favor of his substitute. A question then recurred on Mr. Sherman's amendment to the original bill, limiting confiscation to persons who hold certain offices under the rebel government. Mr. icing moved to amend it so as to in clude all persons levying war against the United States, or giving aid or comfort thereto. Mr. King's amendment was disagreed to.
