gPwia ALTOONA, PA TUESDAY, APRIL 21.1863 Won’t Understand. There are none so dumb as those who will Dot understand. It is a fact too plain to pate \ff un noticed, that there are a ( nnmber of presses in the country arrogating to themselves all the loyally, and claiming to be the troe expounders of the Consti tution and laws of the United States, who are at same time doing little else than abasing the Administration. The; hare not a word in con demnation of Jeff Davis and his traitorous crew, but the; are awfully afraid that the President will deala hide too roughly with the rebels—that he will 'net treat them as though the; were citizens of the United States. Were it not that such a course would detect their hypocritical loyalty, we doubt , not they would complain of the President for allowing pur soldiers to put ballots in their guns when they fire at the rebels, so tender arc their sympathies for their misguided Southern breth ren," who have persisted in being misguided for over two years. These professedly loyal papers are great sticklers for the Constitution and the laws, and claim thatthe Emancipation Proclamation of the President is unconstitutional, because, forsooth, slavery is a State institution and the President or Congress cannot interfere-with it. Horses and cattle arc property, and neither the President nor ■ Congress can interfere with them as thej are found in the States; but would it be regarded as unconstitutional for the President to issue a proclamation to the, effect' that henceforth all horses or cattle taken from the rebels, or which mar stray into the Union lines, should:be held for service, or sent away so that their owners could not get them again. Most certainly not. It would he taking from our enemies part of their support aid weakening them, just what we want to do. Slaves being property, aql subject to the same laws, and more valuable to the rebels—our enemies^—in point of serviced it is certainly no more unconstitutional to take them than it wonld be to take horses or cattle. We know that slavery is a “ peculiar institution” when we come to speak of it as it exists in the slave States, but when, slave drivers wish to take their slaves into the territories, then they call them chatties, the equals of horses and cattle. It is well known to these loyal papers that the President's proclamation does not affect the slaves of loyal men within the Union lines, or withinHhe dominions of Jeff Davis, but itdoes not snititfaem to make this distinction. It would be tray; their real disign. AH who can read can un derstand that4he proclamation only frees the slaves of rebels, and that as the Union army moves for ward, loyal men con come in behind it and own and. bold as many slaves as they desire, and all the laws ever passed for the protection of slave property will be carried out to protect them. But the rebels have no rights in property, or anything else, which the President, the army, or any loyal man should respect. They are outlaws, traitors. If had the opportunity they would carry off or destroy all the! horses, cattle and other property of every Union man in the country, and why should we endeavor to secure any property to them. , They do not recognize the laws of the United States as binding upon them, while dealing, with us, and what right have they to expect us to treat them as though they were oar fellow citizens under United States Uw s£ -They are outlaws, deserving of.no laws, save that of hemp,'cold lead or steeL They are worse than foreign enemies— at leastare so regarded in law and by , our Con stitution. Yet notwithstanding ail the injury they, have done the government, the valuable; lives that have been sacrificed to resist their endeavors to overthrow tbeYlqion, there are men in the loyal North who will have the boldness to stand up and say that it is unconstitutional to take away the ’ property of such infernal traitors. They tell us that the Proclamation of the President is uncon stifutionak but they do not show it bylaw or argu gnroent. Doubtless it would be unconstitutional were traitors to be considered as, and protected like, -loyal citizens, hot since they are not, thire certain ly can be nothing unconstitutional about it. We have never yet read or heard an argument going to prove that the President transended bis power, but on the contrary we Bare read many tirades of abuse heaped upon him and his advisers, such as “ Blade Republican,” “ Abolitionist,” “ Charcoal Dynasty," “Great Usurper,” and other contempt ible epittots, which Jus traducers wonld puss for argument; But epithets are not arguments, as the the enemies of the government will socb -discover. The very epithets now applied by these loyal presses, to the Administration, were those used by the rebels two yenis since. Verily, they appear to be fallowing in the footsteps of their illustrious (bat noon to be oblivions) predecessors. Wh cannot discover that these usurpations qf power and unconstitutional acts of the President have affected .the loyal States in the least. They are just as prosperous as they ever were, if not more 'so. We do not feel the “ Iron heel of tyranny” about which we hear so much. Every man has mcmeythatwprks for it, because money is more plenty than evqr before—so plenty that in. some parts of the country it cannot be loaned at more than three per eept. To be sure the prices of ' many—almost all— articles of consumption and wear have advanced,bnt that is not the fault of the President—it is tbe fault, In the first place, of the villains who fined upon Fort Sumpter, and,.in' the second place, of a pack of heartless speculators who would sacrifice their country end oppress the poor to enrich themselves. The faet is, these loyal presses know well 'enough that The President is in no way responsible for the present condition of af fairs, and that his acts and proclamations will’ not hnrt loyal States or loyal men,' bat they are ofnii they will hurt- them ‘-dear misguided brothefn"— the rebel*. Let anymanexaminc carefully the logo) papers which art mWrt sever** npon the Administration; and he will scarcely find an allusion to Jeff Dari* . ggg“ The Cameron-Boyer investigating Clam or the Southern Confederacy, and if ho does, , it ; mitte bare concluded their investigations, and, as will be in mild tenas, sdch as will not offendthe ; was to be expected, we have a majority report and very sensitive feelings of Mr. Davis and his follow- a minority report, one leaning one way and the ers. If they heap on, they will soon convince other the other way, we know abont as much as we themselves that President Lincoln is a greater did before the investigation commenced, so far as tyrant than the Cxar of Bnssia and- that Jefferson relates to which is the guilty party—whether Come- Daris is the embodiment of all that is good and ron was more anxious to get Boyer’s vote than great At this critical period of out country's history, announced to undergo a judicial investigation even- man is making his Words may he spoken hastily, in the heat of delmfe, or for j political purposes, which at any other time would have passed unnoticed, bnt now drey are likely, to be remembered. Let no man's party ( overcome bis better judgment, and lead him into opposition to the Government because of its being administered by the opposite party.. On minor matters there may be differences of opinion and strenuous opposition, bnt on the question of saying tbe Union all loyal men should agree. Those po litically opposed the President should yield him that support which they would expect from the op posite party were the man of their choice at the head of. the Government. If men will act npon this principle die rebellion will soon be crushed, but if every obstacle is to be thrown in the way or the Government, by opposition to every mode; of conducting the War, every inducement to hope for ultimate success is held out to the rebels, struggle will be lengthened and rendered more desperate. What of Charleston P For six months past we have had promise after promise that Charleston was to be attacked. At last the attack has been made, but without any decisive results,-so far os the capture of the city and the forts thcrealionts are concerned. From all the indications we are led to believe that file attempt made was merely a reconnoisance, *to find out tbe strong points and obstructions of toe rebels, and test the capacity of the iron-clads. — This, we think, has been effectually accomplished. It is now ascertained ' that the obstructions in the channel are of tbe most formidable character, and that our gunboats have a task to perfotm, greater than any ever yet attempted in naval warfare. It lias also been demonstrated that the Monitors are capable of resisting successfully, for two hours, the concentrated fire of some three hundred guns, nearly all of. the largest calibre and improved patterns, and firing improved steel pointed shot, and if they can stand it for that length of time, they can stand it sufficiently long to batter a bole in Sumpter apd cause the “ rebs” to skedaddle therefrom more hastily than did Major Anderson and his gallant band. None of the regular Monitor built boats were injured in; the slightest. The Keokok, which was so completely riddled, was not of the Monitor pattern, but simply an ircnplated boat, with a deck like a tnrtle back, thus receiving direct upon her deck the plumping shots from the forts. While she might have resisted or turned off line shots, the upper guns of the fora had fair play upon her. This was the only boat damaged to any extent. When the next advance is to be made we hive no information, but presume that the government will make use Of the information gained, and Wheif Charleston is again visited it will be in a manner which will insure success. So mote it be.- far A writef, over the signature of “ Aristides," occupies a column of the last Johnstown Democrat to read the Jndiciaty a lecture for opening their lips in favor of , the Union and condemning trea son South and North, and calls it dabbling in pol itics. Can it be that the two great political par ties of the country have been rtßrged into Loyal ist* and Traitors? If we are to believe “Aris tides,” this"must be so, and we must put him down as a member of the Traitor party, since his entire communication is a tirade of abuse of a truly loyal ■nan, whom we venture to say stands as high above his annonymoqs slanderer, in purity, truthfulness, loyalty and alf adorning virtues, as the sun above the stagnant pool. He assails Judge Taylor for having delivered a Union speech before the Union League in this place, in which he characterized as traitors those members of the Legislature who voted against granting tbe Hall of the IJpuse of Representative to Gov. Johnion, of Tenn., and Gov. Wright, of Ind. Judge T. is much more capable than “ Aristides” of defining treasonable actions. If anything more than his attack upon Judge Taylor were wanting to write “ Aristides” down an ass, if not an enemy of Union men, it is the styling of such loyal Democrats as Govs. John son and Wright “idiotic ranting Abolitionists,” and their speeches as “filthy harrangties.”; No wonder he was ashamed to sign his real name to his contemptible production, for had he done so he could not have looked an honest man in the face, and if the sense of shame has nut lung since been smothered in him, he now feels himself the meanest man in the two counties, anti doubtless prays that 1 the veil of secresy may forever shield him from public scorn. . The dailies of this mottling bring us an ac count of another outbreak of the K. G.C'e, in Indiana. A ttnion meeting in Brown county, in that State, was; broken, up by a party of these iriten, under the lead hf a man named Prosser an ex member of thh Legislature, and another named Snyder. They came armed with rifles and re ‘" volvcrs and threatened to shoot two sergeants' who were there for the purpose of arresting deserters. One of the sergeants took Prosser's gun from him when he* drew a pistol and shot the tkrgeaht.— Prosser was in turn shot and dangerously wounded- Capt. Cummings, who was addressing the meeting, was shot and wounded. Another difficulty'; oc curred at Danville, in the same State, on die |ptne day, between ; of -K..G.' C’s. arid Union men, in which-five were wounded—one mortally, i The General Commanding that department' has. i issued orders declaring the K. G.

Stoneman’s CaValry Aecoxmoisance. , A correspondent who accompanied the cavalry reconnoissance detached from Gen. army, says, that the elements - have prevented it from achieving the respite expected from it. In a letter of tbe 16th from near Freeman's ford, be yond Bealeton, be says: On Monday morning early, the expedition, under command of Maj, Gen. Stoneman, consisting of cavalry, infantry and artillery, left our old encampment opposite Fred ericksburg ; one portion, cavalry alone, proceeded to Bristerburg and there encamjied for the night; another, likewise cavalry, bivouacked the same night at Elk Run; another portion, cavalry with a battery, encamped at Morrisville, and a fourth, accompanied by it brigade of infantry, and two bat teries of artillery, remained for the night at Grove Church, Stoneman’s headquarters being at the Spotted Tavern, thereby making a complete semi circle, and guarding and covering every road and by-pat h to our rear. Before daylight tire next moniing, that portion encamped at Bristerburg sent out two .squadrons, the Eighth Illinois and Ninth New York, under Capt. Farnsworth, with .instructions to proceed to Warrenton, thence to Sulphur Springs, and there await orders. The re mainder of this force were ordered to proceed to Liberty. The squadron sent towards Warrenton and Sulphur Springs fully obeyed their instructions in their tour. They came upon several detached bodies of that celebrated partisan cavalry who rendezvous in this locality, to each of- which they gave chase, and succeeded in capturing some and wgunding others. On reaching the Springs they forded the river, and continued down on the op posite bank as far as Freemau’s Landing, when, owing to the inclemency of the weather, the roads becoming impassable, they were obliged to return to the point at which they crossed. ■ The Division which remained at Elk Kan left there before daylight the same morning, and pro ceeded to Bcaleton, and upon their arrival there th-y observed scattered About upon the hills and in the woods, parties of two, three, and up to a dozen, of the same partisan cavalry before sfioken of, to whom they gave chase, but was unsuccessful in their capture. The division remaining during the night near Morrisville moved down to near Kelly's Ford. Here was discovered the first or ganized body of the enoaiy. Preparations were made at once to dislodge them, and after throwing a shell or two. the rebels deemed it prudent to retire, which they did at a rapid rate, thus leav ing the Fold in our possession. A portion of this force then was sent on up the river to the Kappahaunock Bridge, with instruc tions to hold and prevent its spoliation. All has been done agreeable to directions given. They now hold one side of Kelly's Ford, and are strong enough in position at the bridge to hold it and prevent - its destruction. The remaining division on leaving their encampment, at Grove Church, traveled onto the junction of Eastham and Hedge man’s Creek, and from there to Liberty, where they now are. These two met with trifling oppo sition, and have sent in some ten or twelve pris oners. Thus were we moving quietly along; the roads were in a splendid condition, the streams almost dry, and unbounded success had been the result of our every movement, when the violent storm came, turning the soil into a thick, pasty concrete, rendering the hauling of artillery an utter impos sibility, and it was with a great deal of difficulty that our lead horses could move along; all the lime a perfect deluge of rain was falling, and at so rapid a rate as to cause the many streams empty ing into the Rappahannock to swell to an enormous height. Streams which we crossed in the morning only an inch or two deep, were by noon rapidly flowing in absolute torrents, and so deep as to ne cessitate the swimming of horses in their crossing. The First Maryland Cavalry, in crossing one of these streams, lost three horses by drowning. At noon yesterday, our transportation wagons were concentrated at Bealeten, unloaded and sent back via Morrisville, and such supplies as were to be taken along were packed on the mules.— During the afternoon of yesterday frequent alarms were in progress, because of the doings of the be foremenlioned partisan cavalry, and at one time some dozen of them made a dash upon Bealeton Station, and succeeded in taking a trifling amount of property and capturing one than. Towards night Bush's Lancers were set scouring the countty, in order to clear it of these strolling bands. They have succeeded admirably in so doing, and are almost hourly sendinig in some of them as prisoners, together with quire a nuuberof civilians. Towards noon yesterday, Gen. Stoneman, being fully convinced of the utter impracticability of proceeding further, called a consultation of his Generals, when it was determined to remain in possession of the position we then held, in order that we might, without delay, continue our tour when the weather and roads will permit. The rebels appear in considerable force, hut we doubt much if they will he able to greatly retard ns should our able leaders determine to cross. Stirring Report from Vicksburg.—A pri vate dispatch has been received in the city report ing the important fact that seven of our gunboats, together with 1 three transports, had'run the Vicks burg batteries, but that one of the latter, theHeniy Clay, had been burnt. It this bo true, we pre sume the object i 4 either to co-operate with I'ar ragut against Tort Hudson, or, which is much 1 more likely, to flank Vicksburg; from below, prob ably, via Warrenton. We, of course, judge the transports had no troops aboard, as the ; requisite force could go by land, on the Arkansas side, to the point of embarkation, and ;be ferried across Ibe Mississippi by these gunboats and transports, *We should judge that this movement meant, no ffireet attack on Vicksburg, hut rather the posses sions of the railroad connecting that city with Jackson, lying directly east of it. That road once seized, Vicksburg is cut of from reinforcements, andean readily he surrounded.'; Should the rebels i anticipate this move, and attempt to defend this, i to them, all important road, they would be com j pelled to leave their fortifications and fight us on a ; field of onr own choosing—an event much to be ! desired. In connection with this late reported move we mention an earlier one. Colonel Ostcrhaus, com manding hifc has moved across the country and taken possession of New Chaftage. This is a point thirty-five miles below Vicksburg, twenty below Warrenton by the windings of the river, although only twenty miles across by the land route. This will, even if the gunboats are not kept below Vicksburg, enable ns to enforce a blockade below, and thus cat off from the beseiged the supplies they have long been accustomed to receive by that source. New York, April 21.—The Evening Post Sublishes adespaleh stating that 'the French in lexico have been totally defeated. They had lost 8,000 prisoners and pieces of artillery.

He was sent South Sunday night. Mr. James Downes, editor of the Leonardtown (St. Mary’s) Beacon, •was brought to Baltimore on Saturday, on the charge of publishing treasonable articles. With Mr. Barroll, he too was sent south Sunday night. Temperance and Morality. A DREAM. BY At, CY S THIS Read before Altoona Jjicision Sons of Temperance, and Published by request of the Members. Twus the night before Christmas, th’ stockings were hung. Our devotions wore ended, th' vesper hymn sung, The babe lay asleep on its fond mother’s breast, And all but myself had retired to their rest. I sat down alone, as I oft had before. When, w ithout. » loud rap I heard at my door : A friend, thought I, who, from some place far away, Has timely conic to gladden our Christmas day. Oi. as vervjruly it may not be that, Some chum who desires to engage in a chat: Then hastily rising and placing a chair. I liastened to sec who it was that was there— Tkcugh hoarse was the North-wind, and black was the sky, And fiercely the elements battled on high. Vet cheerfully, gladly, I went to the door, Supposing a friend, nothing Uss nothing more. The door I threw open, and bade him come in— His garb was all tattered, Ms visage was thin, His hair was all matted, and firey his eye; He paused for a moment and heaved a deep sigh, And wildly he gazed as he look’d on me there, And at last feebly said, “ Uh ! do you not care For one who hits fallen, whose unhappy state I charge to myself and not falsely to fate? I know an the world I have now no more claim, Though once I might proudly have witten my name scroll where the names of the good and the great , Adorn the bright pages of church and of state ; But, alas I in an evil, unguarded hour, I yielded my strength to the rum fiend s stern power, Became a lost drunkard-#ny God is it sot And down to an inebriate's grave I must go. I know that I have no more claim on the world, Well I know-, that peace from my grasp I have hurl’d. I know, for myself I have written despair In deep lines of guilt, I would God they were care ; And I know, yes alas, I know it so well, In my own breast I’ve kindled a fierce burning hell. And yet I could bear if, if only alone, I could shed the hot tear and heave the deep groan. But alas! a fond wife and dear children three. Without any guilt are sufferers with me. Tis for them 1 wotdd ask your kindness my friend, To them I would have you your sympathy lend. To them have you go, and there make a brief stay, For them I would have you in faithfulness pray.’ My heart sank within me for dark was the night, (How much darker that soul devoid of all light) Yet I hastened away to give timely aid, To answer the call thus in agony made. Far up the dark street, and then o’er the' rough ground, Through a darkened alley, my pathway I [found, Till at lust I came t 0 a rickety door, Which shut out all peace while it shut in the poor. I opened it softly, 1 paused as I gazed, And I stood there transfixed and sadly amazed— A faint, light in the room, no fire on the hearth. No more comfortless place could be found upon earth. A woman sat there sad, weary and worn, For ’twaa hers in anguish yet silence to mourn; Her ft attic was low bow’d, and her weeping eyes red— She mourned for the living, i could God 'ticere fhe dead. I turned me around and, then, loi there I saw A fair, fragile fbnjT ’pon a pallet of straw, Very high was her brow, and dark was her eve, And silv’ry her voice though now choked with a sigh; Alas I her life’s morning was clouded with gloom To be wrapp’d ere noonday in the night of the tomb And„there sat another yet younger in years. Whose eyes like tfte mother’s were flooded with tears— A hoarse, [heavy breathing I heard on the bed, ; Then a voice sad and low—'twits asking for bread, When the mother in faltering accents told. I’ve no bread for your hunger—no warmth foryonr cold. >7 ust then the wintry wind howl'd by in a gale,. Just then 1 heard a wild shriek and' a wail, I turned me around, the child's spirit had fled,; I turned me again, there the lather lay dead. On that child’s ghastly face I read “ want of food, " And me father was stained with his own life's blood, ; And the mother and daughters bent low in their grief, • For no one ou earth could afford them relief. * « * * « « « « I started me up—l awoke—'twos a drcartl, And the blaze from my lamp sent forth a faint gleam, The fire in'my grate, though still burning was low, And without swiftly flew the fast drifting snow. I knew 'twos a dream, and it made my heart glad, But a moment I thought and again I grew sad. For my dream was but faint, when compared with th’ truth. The wrecking ofmanhood, the blighting of youth. Oh ! I would that in truth it all were a dream , s And intemperance bad ceased to darken life’s stream. A CARD TO THE SUFFERING. The Kev. Win.
