UPtooaa Mxihmt. ALTOONA, PA THUBSDAY, JUNE 3, 1862 A TABIFP The manufacturing interests of this countrv never required a protective tariff to a greater ex tent, and the National treasury a tariff for revenue more, than at this very time. Wages liavc ad vanced, the new tax bill levies its quota on every manufactured article, in some shape—if not on the raw material before it is fit for usemoney is a drug in Europe, and besides all this, the recent course of England and France (especially the for mer) towards this government clearly demonstrates our policy to be to firottct our capital as well as labor against that selfish and barbarous govern ment by a tariff that will completely stop the sale of any article with “ British” marked on it, that comes in competition with the same thing made in this countiy. At all events the tariff should be so high as to give our own people at least an even chance. Notwithstanding this, Congress has been in session seven months—Pennsylvania has more than twenty representatives there, one of whom is chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means —and yet we sec no move made by .any of them, in a practical way, to protect her labor and her citizens. When the question is as to endorsing a Jiarticnlar General, throwing one out and putting one in (questions with which they have nothing to do', very fortunately) or in deciding a policy for the President, about which it will be time enough for them to interfere when he consults them or asks their opinion, there is always a great anxiety for them to get the boot;; and the speeches whicli they flood the countiy with, under the franking privilege, os to the “negro, his rights and privi leges, 1 ’ attest the jealous eye with which they watch each other, that no one will get a length ahead in the race for negro equality. This may be all very well. Every one is entitled to his own opinions on this ■as on even- other question of State or National policy. But would it not be . well for some of oar Pennsylvania members to exert themselves in a practical manner that would be felt by their constituents and the people of their qwn State, as an immediate benefit to them? We trust-this matter of a tariff will re ceive attention before Congress adjourns. They bad better follow “ Old Abe's" policy as to the vexed question connected with domestic slaverv, and devote themselves more to an honest endeav or to benefit their constituents by wholesome and judicious legislation, that will aid the government in raising the means to crush out this wicked and unholy rebellion. A Season for the Treachery We have received a statement from one of the traitor delegates at the late •‘People's" County Con vention, at Hollidaysburg, apologizing and explain ing the reason of his for vote for Blair against the positive instructions of the people. The statement only makes the matter 'appear in a worse light than we viewed it before. We advise this gentle man that he had better first satisfy the people of his own township of the reason for his treachery, before he undertakes an explanation of his course to us. It is tiikv he' misrepresented, and justly indignant do they feel at him. If he preferred Mr. Blair, why did he not say so before, or at. the delegate election. But worse than this, he told one of the proprietors of this paper, the morning of the Convention at Hollidaysburg, that he was for Mr. Hall, both because personally he was for him, as well as because he was instructed. He had better attempt no apology'. The future mav ex hibit a ration for his vote. In the meantime we desire no further statements from him to enlighten us of his motives. We think they are plain enough. The people of his township will not likely soon trouble hitn again with a like errand. His mind won’t bear the shock of such sudden changes. He sees 'double too easy. Death of Coe. S. . Black.—The report of the late battle before Richmond, published in an other column, confirms the previously received in telligence of the death of Col. Samuel W. Black, of the ,62d Pa. Beg. It is stated that he was killed, like the lamented Murray, by a ball in the head, while gallantly leading on his men. Col. B. first appeared prominently before the public in 1840, when he took an active part in favor of Gen Har rison in the Presidential campaign of that year.— In 1844 he advocated the election of James K. Polk, and ever since acted with the Democratic party. He passed through the Mexican war as Lieutenant Colonel of the First Pennsylvania Reg iment, About 1857 he was appointed Governor of Nebraska Territory, which office he held until after the inauguration of President Lincoln. On returning home he was r solicited to raise a regiment which he finally consented to do. The regiment was soon filled up, and so eager were men to fight under him that two additional companies were as signed him, making his regiment 1200 strong.— His men were assigned to responsible positions, being almost constantly On picket duty. They all loved their Colonel and it must be hard for them to part with him, as there arc but few who could fill hi* place in their affections, either as a soldier or as a man. He was about forty-eight rears of age, and leaves a wife and family. The Latest. The latest news is to tbe effect that Gens. Pope and Burnside, with portions of their commands, have joined Gen. McClellan 'and the fall of Rich mond is momentarily expected. A letter signed by the different Governors of die loyal States to ,the President, has effected nn order calling out immediately 300,000 more troops! ggptXhe rebels are tearing op the railroad tracks rapidly, and potting down their own tracks still more rapidly.

Pope has been assigned to the command of the Department of Virginia, which embraces the commands of McDowell, Fremont and Banks. Heretofore these commands have been gctjng separately, and the late order consoli dates them.into one army under one head. This movement is certainly a good one, and the man placed at tire head has proved himself to be all a soldier and a General. With these commands united it most be evident that much more can he accomplished than by leaving them to act indepen dently, under generals of the same rank. On the announcement of Gen. Pope’s appoint ment to the chief command, Gen. Fremont im mediately requested to be relieved of his command, giving his reason that the position assigned him under Gen. Pope wits subordinate and inferior to those heretofore held by him, and would largely reduce his rank and consideration in the service. A Patriotic Voice from Kentucky. A banquet was given at Louisville, Ky., on the evening of the IGth ult., to General Lovell H. Rousseau, the first gallant son of that Common wealth who raised a force to support the. Union while she stood unpatriotically neutral and the cloud of treason lowered darkest, and has proved his courage and fidelity on more than one hard fought field. ; A speech of welcome and honor was made in his behalf by*Hon. James Guthrie, for mer Secretary of the Treasury under Pierce, who did not follow Breckinridge in his treason. In responding General Rousseau made the following capital remarks. He tells them plainly that the army is. growing tired of tills “insane ety of abolitionism’ as ‘a cause of breaking up the Government,’and if ‘this’war continues a year from this day, there will not be a slave on the continent." “ I desire to state that this rebellion is a lie from the beginning. There was never any cause for it. To begin and keep it up a system of wholesale lying was adopted and is pursued industriously to this day. Wherever the army has gone it has met this fell spirit of falsehood. We have taken none of their property ; we have placed guards of onr soldiers around their houses to protect them— and yet they jiersisl in calling us abolitionists and negro thieves. And in spite of onr disclaimers and our soldiers' assertions to the contrary —of our words and acts —they have insisted that onr ob ject is to literate and steal their slaves. "And if we fail to restore the Union, ‘the ever lasting nigger’ will be the cause of the failure. They know what they say is false, yet they never cease repeating it. Behind and before us this has teen ■the cry of the enemies of the government.- The army in its intercourse with the secessionists has pleaded, and is still pleading for peace under the old government, offering to our southern hrethem all they ever had, and claiming nothing except in common with them. They want to take nothing from any one, but desire their southern hrethem shall enjoy all their rights unimpaired. "But the negro is in the way in spite of all that can be done or said. Standing before the eye of the secessionist, the negro hides all the blessings of our government, throw ing a black shadow- on the sun itself. If it had teen any other species of property that stood in the way, the army, pro voked ast it lues teen, would willingly have seen its quick destruction. But the negro’they did not wish to interfere with in any way. But,’with all its conservatism and patriotism, the army has grown wean- of this insane cry of ‘ abolitionism ' as a cause for breaking up the government. ' I “I have warned our southern friends of the danger of continuing it much longer, and I tell you to night that if this war continues a vear from this day, there will not be a slave on this continent. The great revolution will take care of itself—the dead will bury its dead—and those who are causing all the bloodshed and desolation around us, under the false pretence tliat we de sire to free the negroes, will, if they persist, one day, find slavery snuffed out as you snuff out a candle. Slavery is not worth our government..- Slavery is not worth our liberty. It is not worth all the precious blood now being poured opt for freedom. It is not worth the free navigation of the Mississippi river. "I am for the government of our fathers against all things and even-body. While the liberties of die people are secure under it, as they ever have been, I would allow nothing but death to prevent my upholding it. I am ready for the responsi bility. A southern man, as I am,' horn and brought up in the south, with all my sympathies with the south, I could not hesitate one moment j when the issue is presented between the nigger ; and the government of our fathers. I am for the ! government of the United States against all its ! enemies. j I hope and pray that our southern friends will not force as to extremes on this sensitive point.— We deprecate such a result, for we want our rights under the Constitution, and we are all ready to fight for theirs under the good old goverment.— I would to-day gird on my sword and fight for any right belonging to them, slavery included;; biit they mast not put slavery between me and the gov ernment and laws of the United States. I will not consent to become a slave' that the negro- may be kept a slave. I will not sacrifice the happiness of my wife, children and friends, the welfare of my beloved State, and the glory of jny country on an altar dedicated to the‘Ebonv Ido!.’” A soldier writing from the Burnside Di vision, near Newhern, North Carolina, gives a graphic description of picket duty in the swamps of that region: The boys are heartily disgusted with this kind of picket duty, for the swamps are full of all man ner of crawling and creeping things, such as rat tlesnakes, moccasins, scorpions, centipedes, chame leons, frogs of every description, spiders, wood ticks, bugs, and now and then a big bear: but worst of all are the thunder-storms that prevail in this region. Nothing like them is seen or beard in old Connecticut: and you can imagine it is not the jileaaantest duty to stand all night on picket in a North Carolina swamp, the rain pouring down as if Long Island Sound was taken up above us and turned 'bottom side up, and the lightening dancing about among the tops of the pines, while the water is gradually rising higher about vour iegs. till you find you are in the center of an in land lake when the sun dawns upon the scene. But there is nothing which our brave, boys are not willing to do for their country, and that, too, with ont a murmur. e-A son of Sam .Houston, of Texas, was j wounded at the Pittsburgh battle, and is now a I prisoner at St. Louis. Pierre Soule's son is also a prisoner, ■ ! Union Loss in Killed and Wounded Twelve Hundred. ing. The dispatches states that a severe and most determined battle was fought on the right wing on Thursday and Friday, which is claimed bv some of our officers as a successful strategic movement, driving the enemy immediately into a trap whicli will soon capture Richmond and the entire rcliel army. The attack was made by the rebels in immense force, who crossed the Chickahominy near the railroad above Mechanicsville on Thursdav after noon. The rebels fought desperately, bat were unable to drive our men a single rod, though the cnemv j were ten to one. The only force engaged that j day was McCall’s division. The battle lasting from i two o'clock till nine P. M., when the division was ordered back. Gen. McClellan was on the field, and expressed : himself satisfied with the result. Another report is also published, dated June 27thj which states that our killed, wounded and missing will number twelve hundred. The object of tire movement was to bring Gen. Porter’s and other divisions into close connection with the rest of the army, in fact changing the from of the whole of our forces, with our centre and left pressing immediately on Richmond itself, which could be done and was expected on Satur . day. It was a virtual surrender or vacating of a long line of defence, heretofore kept up. to Me chanicsville, in order to have the whole force within a more effective distance, also to allow the rebels to follow up and, if possible,-to bag them. Gen. McClellan ordered Gen. Porter to with draw to two miles this side of Gaines’ Mills early* on H»day morning, which was done, the enemy following and thinking they had gained the vic tory, our troops slowly moving back in order, light ing as they went,crossing the chickahominy. and reached the position designed for their occupation by General McClellan, the rebels followed in great force, and by three o’clock in the afternoon a gen eral and heavy engagement occurred here lasting till seven o clock, when a lull took place, but the rebels again renewed it with greater ferocity, hav ing been reinforced. Our brave men stood the unequal contest like heroes, and the shell, grape and musketry did fearful havoc. Our forces were increased by General Slocums. Palmer’s, French’s and Meagher's brigades, and the rebels were beaten ! badly. Neagle’s-brigade went into the battle with their coats off, and sleeves rolled up to fight like tigers. The ground which General McClellan ordered General Pqrter to occupy and hold, was occupied and. held in the first part of the dav. General Porters’s corps only contended against the rebels, but subsequently ,reinforcements swelled our num bers to 45,000. The rebels had 60,000 under Gen erals Lee, Hill, Anderson and Branch. Among the killed are Col. Black and Lieut. Col. Sweitzer, of the G2d Pennsylvania, Col. Gane, of the 22d Massachusetts. l ;, Col. Koterts. ot the Ist Michigan, Col. M'Quadc and Lieut. Col. Shellen. of the 14th New York, and Major Patterson, uf the 62 Pennsylvania. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Falk Oaks Station'. Va., June 27 Towards evening, yesterday, heavy and con tinued firing was heard, coming from !he direction of the locality w here are stationed Generals McCall and Fitz John Porter's divisions, on the west hank of the Chickahominy. indicating that a lively skir mish was progressing. This morning early we proceeded in that direction, in order to get the particulars, and learned that some time during the morning, the enemy, numbering some twentv-five thousand, under the command of General Branch, crossed the above named stream, over the meadow bridge, and following down the west hank-, they soon found themselves in the immediate vicinity of our troops under Gen. McCall. He being apprised of their coming, had'his men drawn up in line of battle, preparing to give them a hearty welcome. The Rebels commenced the firing, which was at once returned by our forces, and was kept up without intermission until near seven o’clock, our loss in killed and wounded being trifling, when wc consider the rapid and successive firing, and the time occupied in the engagement, while that of the rebels mast be very heavy, from the fact that sev eral of our best batteries were on hand and suc ceeded in doing good and efficient service. During the afternoon. Gen. Fitz John Porter inarched to the relief of Gen. McCall, his rein forcements coming in just at the nick of time, and us to maintain our position during the night, against an overwhelming force, even with the addition of these reinforcements. This morning, however, the commands of Gen erals McCall and Porter fell back from the posi tion they held during the night, and halted and formed a line of battle some three miles in the rear of, and near to the house of the Rebel Gaines.— This retreat, if it may be so called, was hr. no means a forced one, but was done voluntarily.’ and in all probability to secure a better position. Where they could he nearer the main body, and hence te more readily reinforced, should they need them. This retirement was done In a quiet and orderly manner, the retreat being covered by the First. Second and Fifth Pensylvania Reserves, who promptly returned the fire’of the rebels, who were following. These portions of the two armies .are now face to face, and they may at any moment commence anew the engagement. During the fight, yesterday, one company of the First Pennsylvania, Buc’ktail Reserve Regi ment was entirely surrounded, and all were taken prisoners. Some few, however. . managed to es cape. but were compelled to leave their dead and wounded comrades in the hands of the enemy.— Among the number in this regiment who were wounded, we gather the following: Capt. Irwin and Lieut. Welsh of Company Iv. Captain Irwin, however, managed to effect his es cape. The regiment covered themselves with glory, winning from their officers the highest meed of praise; from early in the afternoon until this; morning, they were actively engaged and in the thickest of the fight. The Pennsylvania Reserve are deserving, too. 1 of their wellrearned praise : throughout the fight i they stood their ground against an unequal force, I ana in front of a galling fire. Their conduct upon ‘ this occasion does honor to the Keystone State. j Presents from Japan, —Mann Eun, the pres ent Tycoon of Japan, in return for the elegant sewing-machine sent to his predecessor, the late Tycoon, by the Wheeler £ Wilson Company, has presented to the above firm, through Mr. Town send Harris, our Minister to that ■country, several very curious and valuable gifts, comprising five pieces of uncut velvet, of various patterns and col ors, of about five yards each; and five nieces of rich silk, each one yard septate, woven, in gold and brilliant colors, and depicting various birds and flowers: among the foi mer are a number of singu lar looking cranes, sombre in tint, and several gor geous chanticleers,, with hens and chickens around them. These pictures have been suitably framed, and, with The velvets which have been arranged in a glass case, containing Crawford's beautiful statue of "Dancing Jenny.’’ now adorn the wareroora of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing-machine Com pany in this city. Those persons who take pleas ure in seeing foreign curiosities should not neglect to examine these Japanese manufactures. The widow of the former Tycoon, ns we have been in formed by Mr. Harris, works the sewing-machine which was sent to her, most successfully, and lakes as much interest in it as do so many of our Indies at home.-— Home „ - The machines referred to above are sold by R.

June 27. —The steamship Phila delphia has arrived from Beaufort, and the Erics son from Key West, with dates to the 18th.-and from Port Kora! to the 23d. The latter brings 181 passengers, including General Benham and stall - , and fifty-seven solflft-s wounded in the late engagement on Janies Island, near Charleston. Thu account of the tight copied from the Charles ton {tapers is correct. The Cnitcd States troops, under General Benham, made an attack, at 4 o'clock on the morning of the Kith insl.. and were repulsed, after four hours' hand fighting, with a loss of 658 killed, wounded, and missing. The Michigan Bth had but 250 men left at roll call. The New York 79th also suffered severely. The Union troops were obliged to retreat under cover of the gunboats. Col. Perry, of the 18th New York Volunteers, died at Fort Pulaski, June 18th, of apoplexy. Gen. Brannon, from Key West, was expected daily at Pott Koval. The Ericsson landed the 7th New Hampshire, six companies of the 19th New York, and four companies of the Ist Regular Artillery, at Port Koval. DETAILS OK JHE BATTLE OS JAMES ISLAND OEN BENHAM UNDER ARREST. New Yokk, June 27.— The New York Express says that General Benham is understood to be un der arrest, with orders to report to Washington. It is stated that General Hunter left James Island on the I2th, leaving General Benham in command, with orders to make no advance towards Charles ton without reinforcements or further orders. It was reported by deserters that the whole rebel force at Secessionville was but two battalions, with six guns mounted, and seven more readv for use. The reeomioisanee was made the 16t'h.- Gen. Stevens, with 4,000 men, was to make the attack iU daybreak, while General Wright and Colonel V illiams, with 3.000 men, were to support him. Somehow, the movement was delayed an hour, and, as our troops marched up through a plain field in broad daylight, they were met bv a mur derous fire of grape and canister. Two regiments only reached the front, and were much cut up namely, the Bth Michigan and 79th New York. The 28eh Massachusetts broke and scattered, and the 46fh New York did little better. The first two regiments drove the gunners from the guns, and some even penetrated the works, but, other regiments failing to support them, they had' to re tire alter holding the battery twenty minutes. In the meantime Colonel Williams coming to their support, was separated by a marsh from the tort, and exposed to a severe cross-fire from some rebel guns in the woods.

Delta, gives an account of the bar barous treatment of a slave woman by one Wil liam T. Hunter, a violent rebel. It appears that information had been received by the military au thorities that Hunter had arms and military accou trements concealed in his house, aud an officer was sent to search for them. Hunter was absent, and his wife directed a negro woman to show the officer through the house. The negro woman afterwards left the house, whereupon Mrs. Hunter visited the officer and stated the fact. The officer promptly secured the return of the slave, at the same time telling her mistress that she had not given him any information, and ought not to be punished. \V hat followed is thus narrated bv the Delta, from which it will be seen that this outrage upon humanity was summarily punished bv Gen Butler; ’ ■ * " The moment the officer retired the girl was locked up to await the return of her master.— When Mr. Hunter returned and ascertained what had occurred, he demanded of his wife. ; Whv she had not shot the damned Yankees/ She retorted. ‘ They took away my arms. Upon this. Hunter went to the closet and took from it a heavy riding whip and beat the servant over the bead in such a manner as to cause heavy bunches. He then took her down into the back yard, chained her feet to a block, the mistress, who claims to be one of the ladies of Aew Orleans, fastening the shackles to the block. The husband and wife then threw the servant down upon her back, fastened her bands to the feet of another servant, who was forced to hold the girl out to her full length. The suspected girl was then subjected to head-shaving; her clothe? were next removed, and Hunter beat the exhausted creature with the horsewhip, until he was toothed to stand. He then called for a chair and s a t down aud finished the brutal beating in a sitting posture. The screams of the sufferer attracted the attention of the neighborhood. One neighbor sent intelligence of what was transp,nng-to Gen. Butler. Before word reached the General—the monster haring flaved the back of his slave until it became raw—washed her down with bnne. threw her into a wagon, and at nine oelock at night conveyed her to the parish prison with the pleasing information that the rest of the beating—to the exient of three hundred lashes would be inflicted in the morning. 7 The General ordered all parties to appear in the morning. They came and the girl uSTberated. I pon the hearing-these facts appeared. The Gen w t *,r "Vf" state - “P™ his honor, wbv g c ", Lat ; k ln brine ’ while reeking ih hkxxl.

The di***’ on my head went *o far that several small piece* of came out. 1 was very week and low spirited, and h*J given up all hope of ever getting well, as I bad tried wr era! skillful physicians and they did me no good. In &{- (ember last, 1861.1 was induced to try u Lixdskt's j*. proved Blood Search**.” I must confess 1 had so &ith in patent medicines, but after 1 had used three bottle* of Blood Searcher, the ulcers ou my head and arm begin u ; heal. I have now taken eight or ten bottles, and my head and arm are entirely well except the scars remaining the wires. I will also state that I had the rheumatism very bad in my arms and legs. The Blood Searcher aUo cured the rheumatism. lam now a well man, over Com years of age. and I feel as suple and young as I did when I was twenty, and have increased In weight twenty puoodv I would also state that the disease in my fbrebeard vu «o bad that when I stooped and lifted anything heavy, the blood run out of the sore.

Death am* Fcseeal ' Obsmouss of Lieut. Sbokqk W. Bublby.— lt is oar unwelcome duty his week to chronicle the death of Lieutenant W. Bnrley, son of Mr. John Burley, of his place. He died in Washington City on Thurs lay last, 26th ult., of typhoid fever. On the breaking out of the rebellion Lieut. B. r ii,(A,l in Capt. Bell’s company, of Tyrone, and erred a three months’ campaign, as Ist sergeant. Vhen thecamp of instruction was opened at Hun- Ingdon, he again volunteered in the service of his nuntry, this time occupying the position of Ist lieutenant of Captain Brisbin’s company, of the 10th Regiment. The regiment was first assigned o active duty in General Lander’s division, and anticipated in seiveral skirmishes under that offi ier. After the death of General Lander, the di: rision was placed under command of General shields. Onr readers are aware that the 110th vss in the thickest of the fight at'Winchester, and tis reported of Lient. Barley that he acquitted limself most nobly on that occasion. He was vith his company in every action which followed. \i Front Royal he boro his fill! shore of the dan gers, and stood by his iqen during their retreat >cfoie the hosts of “Stonewall” Jackson. It is aid of him that he never left his company for half i day from the time they were mustered into scr dcc. When attacked with the disease which termina ted his existence, he still refused to leave his post, snd did not leave it until; he fell exhausted on the ield, and had to be carried off in an ambulance.— After remaining in the camp hospital a short time ie was coavinced that he could not soon again sake the field, and he accordingly resigned his po ition and started for home. Arriving at Wash ngton city he was so much worse that he was tm- blc to get out of the cars.' He requested to be aken to a private house, not wishing to go to any if the hospitals. A young man who was standing y and heard his request, took an interest in him. md had him conveyed to his boarding house, in a Juiet part of the city, where he received every pos sible attention. ; [ During his illness he sent out anti had purchased [for hifn a dozen of small American flags which he requested his attendants to so arrange arotmd the [walls of his room that, whichever way he turned, ’ his eyes might rest upon them, and that when his : son of life might set his eyes should last gaze npon the glorious ensign of his country, under which hi had so often rallied, and for the honor of which he [bad so bravely fongbt. What a fitting sight on [which to close hfs eyes forever, and what an evi dence of true patriotism and genuine love for his [country, thus to desire to fix his last gaze npon its [sacred emblem and give to it his last thoughts up |un earth. The fatal archer hod marked Lieutenant Burley [as his victim, and notwithstanding good medical attention and the motherly care bestowed npon him by the lady of the house, he sunk rapidly, and on the fourth day after his arrival in the city, he “slept the sleep that knows no waking.” His body was immediately embalmed and placed pn a metalic coffin and sent to this place, where it [arrived on Saturday morning last.t|l HU funeral took {dace on Sunday afternoon, at N o’clock. The cortege consisted of an escort of [infantry, under command of Captain Szink, the [Lodge of Odd Fellows, in this place, and a large [concourse of citizens, the whole proceeded by the [Altoona Brass Band. The impressive burial ser jvices of the Odd Fellows were gone through with [at the house and grave, after which the infantry [fired the usual number of vollies over the grave.— ILieat. Barley was 28 years of age, and unmarried. Mn.rr tar Goaty ant.i —An effort is now being “hde to form a militaiy company in this place, >at forsome reason or other it appears to be as up ml business.
