Union Men, Stand from Under I The Abolition President of what wore cnco bonornbly known as the United States, has at last displayed the cloven foot of Disunion which he has so long successfully eoneea'ed from the view of the public. He has issued a proclama tion to the people of tlio revolted states, impos ing upon them au oath which he knows they cannot and will not take; an oath which, if tnken by them, binds thorn to yield up their property, their Institutions, nay, their very lib erty itself; and the taking cf this oath he makc3 the condition of their return to their allegiance to the Federal Government. They must cither sweflr that tliey will surrender their property, their state institutions, and by so do ing, sell themselves into political slavery, or , they cannot bo permitted to return to their re nounced citizenship, no matter how |>enitent cf the sin of Secession or how strong the love for the old Union which Las been rekindled in their regenerated hearts. The President look 3 upon them as aliens wbo must be NATtuiAUzso —aye, naturalized or hanged !—naturalised by taking the oath which he has prescribed fur the pur pose of taking from them their properly, or hanged as rebels because they wiii not take it. It 13 not enough for him that those who are in rebellion, shall lay down their arms, seek the shelter of the old flag and acknowledge the supremacy of the Constitution and the laws made in conformity them to; he must have more limn this ; tiicy must yield into his hands their liberty and their properly. Shylock, des picable as lie was, demanded only what his creditor had stipulated to give him; but Lin coln, net satisfied with "the pound of flesh nearest the heart," demands more than is "nom inated in the boud"—lie roust have tlio heart, ! the very soul, itself, of Southern institutions and prosperity. I Now, this unreasonable, unconstitutional and i tyrannical edict of the President moans Disuni on. It cannot mean any thin;; else. air. Lin coln's three years' experience in tho Presidential chair, hits certainly taught him that whilst there Still remain in the revolted States some who are willing to swear allegiance to the Constitution and the constitutional Laws of the country, there are none who will swear away their own property nnd institutions for th oprivilege of be ing governed by a Federal Abolition satrap! •Hence, • the President, iu making h'l3 proriama ■tion with the full knowledge of this fact, did so for tho purpose of confirming disunion nnd forever preventing the restoration of the repub lic. lie has become a convert to the doctrines of Garrison and Phillips, who maintain that the constitution and the Union nrc but "syno nyms of slavery." lie now argues, thus : To restore the Union i j to save acpro slavery; therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, preferring tho freedom of the negro to tho restoration of the Union, will impose such conditions upon those persons in the revolted states who may be wil ling tu return to their allegiance, ns will send them back into the arms of Sncession; and, though this will destroy the Union, by prolong ing the war, it will, also, destroy negro slavery. Friends of the Union! Can you, will you, dare you support suah infamous devilishncsa as this!

Mr. Wa9h burno, Abolitionist, moved to lay the resolutions on ihe table, which motion prevailed by u vote, of 03 ayes to SO noes, showing a majority of 30 in favor of the continuance of the war. Last year there were but Jict peace men in Congress. Although this resolution failed, the friends of peace linve great reason to feel en couraged by the flattering vote, cast against iay ing it on the table. Our Representative, Gen. Coflrotli, is one of the 50 true men who darei! to vote no. ■ Mr. Rollins, of Mo., o!ft*red tlio Crittenden resolutions (not the compromise) which the last Congress repudiated. Mr. Lovqjoy, Abolition, moved to lay them on the table. Lovejoy's motion was lost l>y a vote of 52 ayes to 115 noes! This vote developed the radical strength and sliowcd it to be very weak; it is also con sidered a rebuke to the Administration. Some seven so-called Republicans, from this state, voted fur Lovejoy's notion.—Gen. Ucffrotli has given notice that ho will, at an early day in troduce the following named bills, from which it will be seen that our member is working with his usual energy: A bill to aid in the completion of the Pitts burg and Connellsville railroad for military and postal purposes.

NEW CASTI.U, Ind., Dec. 11, 1333. Governor Morton's iiome guards have been cutting up some pretty big swells for some time. Forty of them went to a Dunkard meeting, a bout 10 mi!'*s from here, to drive the democrats away, of which there were only 9 or 10 there. They came on horse back, waving their huts, and made the air hideous with their yells.— When they got lo the church they jumped off, some hitched their horses and some did not, the captain jumped on the fence, with his lmt in one hand and a revolver in the other, shouted to his men to pitch, mto them. Then the work commenced, four and five homo guards to one democrat; 'hey used revolvers, stones, and steel knuckles, there were about 40 shots fired and lour wounded by ihe shooting and the most of the others, were more or less injured by be ing beaten with stones, there wore Ifisliotsfiivd at one innn, while he was making his escape. There was one man standing with his back a gninst the fence, when two or three caught hint by tins ms from the opposite side of the fence and held him, whiic two or three ethers beat him with stones and steel knuckles in the face, till it was ail cot to pieces, liis wife was ia the church, at the time, and hearing that her husband was a victim ran out and implored the demons to desist, when one fiend in human shape pushed her hack, win! qualitiying his terms with an oath, said if she didn't leave ho would blow her brains out. at the same time flourish ing a rev. Ivor in Iter face. The preacher made his escape by jumping out of the back window and ran to tho woods. Tlicy said tlicy intend ed to kiii lite preacher. Some two weeks af terwards, ton or eleven of the same gang, rode up to tho house of a Mr, Crist, a Dunkard preacher, about 9 o'elo. k at night and hallooed, when Mr. Crist's son r.eni to the door. They asked him if that was where William Under lived. He. told them not, but Mr. K.uler lived at the next house. Then tlicy asked him if lucre was nn apple-butter-boiling at Ilader's lie told tlicm ha did not know, lie did not keep the run of the apple-butter-boiling?. Then tlicy asked him if there were any "Butternuts," in that neighborhood, die told them, lie did not ! now of any, but he believed some people called all the Democrats Butternuts, he said he was a Democrat. Then tlicy sai l they wore just gi ing around cleaning out butternuts. The young man'then turned to go into the hotu-o, when tlicy lire.! two shots at Mm. lie ran for his gun and tired at them and wounded one of them in the arm. Then they left, but next night they came back, when Mr. Crist had barred his door. They called to Lim to open; Cii.it Still refused td open it. Then they got a rail and liegun to batter the door doivn when Mr. Crist and family retreated to a back-roohi and fastened the door. They broke it open also, and rushed in; young Crisl struck one on tin; side of the head and shoulder cutting hi.'?shoul der pretty badly, the old man stood with a chair drawn When they tired two shots at him, one ball passing through his head, another thro' his body, killing ltini instantly. Than they tied the young trfnti and started to Muncic, the county scut of Delaware county, where they raid they were going to hang him in the public square. When tlicy get there, Judge Buckles hearing of the murder, had them ail arrested and heul to bail, the Capt. and Lieut, in the sum of §1,500 each, and the rest at $1,030 each. 1 lie balance of the home trunrds swear that i.

For 1 he Gazette. ''The Tree-cutters," MR. EDITOH:—I take my pen in hand to give you an account of an event that lately happened in West Providence township, this county—that loyal township which roiigd up so big a majority for Andrew G. Cur:in, that place that stands side hy side with Maine and Massachusetts in love (or the negro. In the aforesaid township there was recently a pro tracted meeting at the Methodist Church, on the land belonging to Mr. George Banghman and near his residence. The meeting was in progress for several weeks, and on Friday even ing, December 11 ill, some Abolitionist (tor no Democrat would be mean enough to do such an act) made a raid on the orchard o( Mr. John Mortimore, a near neighbor of Mr. Baughman, and cut. down all his apple trees but four, and injured two of these four very much. The tree 3 were small, but were in a thriving condi tion. and being all grafts, in a few years they would have produced apples. Who would have thought of an act like this being committed in the '-loyal'* township of West Providence! Now, Had it been done ia Juniata, Southamp ton, or Colerain, according to the talk of (ho Abolitionists, it would not bourn so strango as they tell us that "Copperheads" will do tricks <>f this sort, but in West Providence, where there arcbutfcw Democrats (or "Copperheads," as they call thorn) I would never have thought of it. Shame on the vindictive partisan that did it. He ought never t.o hnvo another apple to eat, the remainder of lis life. An act like that is fifty d grots worse than "barn-burnmg." Yours, in haste, A.

The raid upon C'atlett's .Station in the rear of Gen. MEADE'S army on Sunday last, was but the precursor of another more successful one, on Wednesday night. About twenty miles from Alexandria, tho Orange railroad is cross ed by Pope's Run, Tho bridge it about one hundred feet long, and at six o'clock on Wed nesday evening the guard at this point was at tucked by the Confederate cavalry, eight hun dred strong. The guard being hut a single com pany of infantry, were quickly captured and the bridge bftrned. The enemy then began tear ing up iiic rails on this side of tiie bridge and had done so for sortc two miles, when they wore met by a reinforcement sent from Fairfax, it was excessively dark and raining in torrents., arid after firing a few volleys, ilia opposing for ces rested o their arms for the night. Com munication between MEADE'S army and Wash ington is thus cut oft'and his supplies obstruct ed. No information can l>e procured from the Rapid.ui and the real extent of tho damage done is not known. Rope's Run is a short dis tance cast of Bull Bun. The details which reach us of General LONG STREET'S movements on Monday last, represent the Federal defeat as far more serious than was anticipated. General Wn.uvox commanding tin Federal force has retreated to Tnmvoil, ei hit miles south of Cumlwrland Gap, leaving the roa I open to Knoxville. Gen. LONGSTREET has made a sudden advance upon that place, and on | Wednesday was fighting at Biairs Cross Roads, but twelve, miles east of Knoxville.

A dis patcli to a Cincinnati paper, dated Cumberland (tap. on Fiiday last,states that (Jen.

Federal forces under Generals Sl.aekleford and Foster. The movement was frustrated, however, by Gen. Farrier. Heavy fir ing was heard on Thursday between the town of Taaeweil and the. Clinch river, and it was reported that (Jen. Longstreet had been killed and his forces surrounded. Another dispatch to a Cincinnati journal, dated at London, K/., on Sunday, says tlir.t Gen. Shackleford Had r rived there cn route for home, lie left Blair's Cross-lvtad on Wednesday, the !6tli. The Federal forces were tlien concentrating at that point. The bailie at Bean's Station, on Mon day, commenced at two o'clock ia the after noon, and lasted until dark, the Federal forces holding their ground until that time, when they withdrew, hiking from one Hundred and fifty to I vet hundred killed and wounded, A Nashville, dispatch dated Saturday, Rays that the latest ad vices from l'litoxville, received there, reported everything as quiet in the vicinity. Gen Longs! reet has returned to Bull Gap, with the purpose, it is supposed, of wintering in the Watuga valley, or with a view of moving into North Carolina. — Baltimore Sun. R. R. R.
