Mob Law.
Tbc destrneticc of several printing ojjjces, by
has caused much to besaid and written,
lately, in reference to mob law. Knowing the
doggenws character of mobs, we are opposed to
jthe law into their own hands, no
matter how aggravating the case mar be. When
once started, they will not always stop where those
whoinotod them intended they should; and by
their aaSensioo the innocent are at likely to suffer
4*theguilty. It is more easy to start a riot than
to step it. Goodintention* interposed in the way
ofriotersjsrtlikelyto be mistaken for opposition,
•odthe pwson in terposing them subjected to the
indignation of the crowd. We prefer the peace
fid aȣlawful maimer of abating noiaancps and
diapering of dangerous; personages.’ The exi
gencies ofa casemay.in some instances, appear
to demand something mow hasty and severe than
the slew process and proverbial leniency of the law,
but it is. best always to keep on the side of
law. Coold laws be so framed as to govern the
passions of men, then would there be no need of
courts,.lawyen, juries, etc., and nothing that would
excite to passion would pass between man and
man; bat the {act that to every law passed is at
tached a penalty to be meted oat to who
violate it, shows that laws do not restrain : men,
and that those who arouse the passions of others
ate not safe, simply because there is a law for
bidding assault and battery or destruction of
property, but that they may expect chastisement
not provided for by law. Human nature generally
governs in case of insult or injury, and all the
laws art, for the time' being, disregarded by the
insulted party. To cultivate a respect for the
laws of the famd should be ihe aim of all, but no
one should attempt to bide behind them and throw
stones at bis neighbor. If he does so, tbc result
meet likely will be, that human nature will brea]t
the law if not the head of the one who throws the
stones.
In cases of Insult or injury • the law of nature,
which is resentment or revenge, scarcely ever
stops to inquire whether it agrees with the laws ol
the land, or whatlnay be the consequences of fol
lowing oot its teachings.' The sympathy existing
between man and man, and the natural tendency
to take sides with one or the other of contending
potties, helps to swell the tumult, and the greater
the number in the contest, the less regard is there
for the laws. We might extend our remarks on
this sublect, but we have written enough to
show onr point, viz: “ that there is no effect
without a cause.” The effect may be-contrary to
law, detrimental to the peace and welfare of
society,- and much-more severe than the cause
demanded, but the fact that there was a cause,
real or imaginary, makes those who gave the
cause equally responsible with those who engaged
in carrying out its effects.
While, therefore, we disprove s and condemn
mob law, we think that all should strive to avoid
giving cauae for mobs, since it is to
control ti i mM nature in resenting insults and
injuries; and especially should this he the case at
this, time,'when onr country is engaged in a war
for life or death, and men ate. in a fever heat of
Let opinions be given in courteous
language, supported by arguments, and men be
won by pentnuum. The use of sarcasms and
calling of vulgar names repulses rather, than at-
Uacti, and leads to riot and bloodshed. Let there
be no cauae for mobs and-we will have none of
the effects.

(7* If the Pittsburgh Pott desires to give cor
rect information from this section, it has been
unfortunate in the selection of a correspondent from
this place, if we may judge from the'eommunica
tion- signed “Q. K. iP.", dated June ,Ist. Prop
erly.'Huntingdon affairs do not belong to ns, and
we would pass by the communication did it eman
ate from any other quarter, but such perversions of
facts, from a person in our town, should not go
uncorrected. Evidently, “Q. K. P.” knows little
whereof he writes, or else he is not disposed to
tell the truth. He pretends to give an account of
the late “ mob” and “ indignation meeting” in
Huntingdon, and attempts to make political, eapi
tal out of it by styling the destruction of the
Monitor office one of “ the persecutions of the party
in power.” k Theignprance or falsity o£“ Q. K .P."
is here apparent to all who know anything about |
die cash. 'We have been credibly informed, by ■
tbve now nnder arrest for the offende, that there I
was but' one man in the .party of soldiers who
destroyed the office who was not a democrat; but, |
as they remarked, they were not democrats of the j
Monitor stripe. They had braved disease and j
death in camp and field to preserve the; Union from i
the bands of Southern traitors, and, while in the !
army, had borne as patiently as. possible, what
they considered insults to themselves in the columns
of the Monitor and its endeavors todivide the people
of the North, and when they returned they .de
stroyed the office by way of retaliation. We do
not approve iof their jmanner of settling accounts,
but in their own language, it was the quickest way
to obtain satisfaction. The assertion that the
soldiers were incited thereto by citizens of Hun
tingdon is equally false. They are men who read,
think and act for themselves. The most bitter
opponents of the Monitor did all they could to |
prevent the destruction of the office, but they were
coolly told that the the thing was settled, and that
they most keep out of the way or get into difficulty.
The etilogy on the character of the ostensible edi- !
tor-of the Monitor may pass, with tf\ose who know
nothing to the contrary. The assertion that “on
the day of the meeting the aiders, abettors and
applauders of this outrage slunk out of sight and
hung their heads in shame,’’reads very nicely, but
pity, ’tis not true. There were no “aidetk, abettors
or applauders” but these who were engaged in the
destruction of the office, and they, instead of hung
iqg their heads in shame, walked the streets boldly,
and contributed much to the good order and deco
rum maintained daring the day. Those who
called the meeting had been notified that no insult
would he given to any one attending .the meeting,
and no disturbance be created' by the soldiers, but
in case there should be any indignities offered to
Union; men, or any attempt W destroy Union
property, they (the signers of the call) would be
held responsible and vengeance be first meted out
to them.- Thus order was maintained.
While we eondenin “ mob law” and are far from
desiring to justify the actions of the soldiers, we
have a : regard for fair statements, which would
not allow us to pass by “ Q. K. P.’s’' communica
tion Without We believe we know
considerably more about the ] -eojiic of Hunting
don than the Pout's correspondent, and our
information came from men of all parties. We
give the statements as they were given ns by
the soldiers, and coroborated by .others, without
venturing opr own opinion.
y A number of papers are publishing a lengthy
article, picturing in the most touching language.
the effect of the arrest of Vallandigham upon bis;
wife, who is represented to be a woman of great i
refinement and an ornament to her sex. It is j
stated tliat the arrest of her husband has de- ,
throned her reason and she' is nop a raving j
maniac. That she is a model woman and that
she should feel deeply, ever to the loss of reason,
the degradation of her husband, we do not doubt, :
but the charging of the responsibility of this ca- :
lamily upon the President and Gen. Burnside, |
when it is alone chargeable to the course and 1
guilt jof Vallandignam himself, U unjust. Are ,
the officers of the law responsible for the dethrone- |
meat,of the reason of the wife when they arrest |
the hbshand for the murder of your father, hits- |
band; or brother? Certainly hot. It is the
hnsband who is responsible. Had he not been
first guilty of murder he would not have
been arrested, but having committed the deed, the
necessity for his arrest followed, lot the conse
quences to his wife and family lie what they may.
should we ever be guilty of a flagrant violation of
the law, we will not expect the law to be suspended
lest our arrest should bring a calamity upon any
member of our family. The course of Vailandig
ham was, in the opinion of the officers of the law,
dangerous to the peace and welfare of the com
munity, and it was their duty to arrest him and
place him where he could do no iqjury, or com
pel him to suffer for violations of law and order,
without considering what offect it might have
upon his wife or family. Having a wife of such
refinement, and the dethronement of her reason
beingjhff result of his arrest, only throws more
responsibility upon Vallandighapi and makes
him the greater villain. But w® need not pursue
this subject further; as everv reasonable man must
at once observe that upon Vallandighan, and not
the authorities; ranks “ the responsibility Of the ca
lamity to his wife. We are surprised that sensi
ble men will resort to such weak arguments to
■nnire political capital," as that, aiid not sympathy
for Vallandighan or his wife, is the object,

Botany Bay Island, S. C„
May 16th, 1863. )
Messes. Editors :— Whilst the' min is fast
descending, making music u]>on the canvass roof
ing of oor bouses, I will try to indite a few lines
for the benefit of the readers of the Tribtmt.
Rainy days in camp are none of the pleasantest,
bat as they generally prevent ns from drilling
(which does not affront us much) we try to be as
cheerful as circumstances will permit.
You will perceive, by the heading of my letten
that we are on “terra Jlnna" once more. We
landed on this Island on the 28th ult. Botany i
Bay Island is a snjall Island, being about 'six !
miles in length, and three in breadth, connected ;
with Edisto Island, by a causeway. The Island, |
for the most port, is covered with timber, consist- |
iug of Palmetto, Pine Live-Oak and Cedar.— j
There are no buildings of any kind, or any indica- ■
lions of the Island having been cultivated.—■
The principal inhabitants are mosquitoes, gnats, i
spiders, wood-ticks, and a host of other small j
insects, of a like troublesome character. The j
Island has scarcely anything to recommend |
it to the poaser by. The place chosen for i
the location of our camp is on the shore \
of Edisto Inlet. The location is good enough hut :
the camp ground was wretched to behold. Ido
not think there could be a worse place found on
the Island. we first landed, the ground
was very uneven, being, as the saying is, “ up one
hill and down another,” nothing but sand banks
and sink-holes; but, through much laltor, the
men have considerably altered the appearance of
the camp, by leveling the surface, &e* and, with
lumber, obtained from plantations on neighboring
i islands, we have fitted up our quarters pretty well.
I We have our tents furnished, at the expense of the
rebs. with furniture of all descriptions, such as
tables, chairs, bureaus; sofas, &c., the whole pre
senting quite a picturesque ap|«arance. Taking
everything into consideration we are pretty well
fixed up again. The Seventy-Sixth Pa. and
1 Third N. H. Regiments, are the only troops on
| this Island. There does not very much friend
i ship exist between the two regiments, consequently
i there is scarcely any communication between
i them. How long we will remain here, I am
unable to say, most likely until wc move again.
The weather is very warm, but, being near the
water, we are fanned by pleasant breezes, which
makes it quite pleasant.
Col. H. C. St.awbridge has gone home on fur
lough and Lieut. 001. Campbell, is in command
of the regiment. Col. Campbell returned from
the North, where he had been for the last six
| months, engaged in the recruiting service, while
wc were on lioard the “T. A. Scott.”
Government has at last decided on giving fur
loughs to the men belonging to the *• Department
of the South." Bather a late day to commence,
but better late than never. From this time forth
20 per cent of the men are allowed to be absent
on furlough 30 days. This will afford an oppor
! tuniiy to all of us to pay a Hying visit to our
i triends. We all look forward with pleasure to the
| time when we expect to behold the faces of those
we love. I will close for this time, but will write
again at an early day

The Bombardment of Vicksburg,
A correspondent writes on May 22d, from the
rear of Vicksburg: This is the fourth day the
army of Gen. Grant ,has lain around the retrench
ments of Vicksburg. Within that time there have
been daily battles and continual cannonade. At
least t\?o'thousand pf pur soldiers have been placed
hors du combat , killed and wounded, in the several
charges ordered, against the earthworks. It was
rumored yesteniay that this morning Gen. Grant
would otticr a charge simultaneously along the
entire line of works. Late in the evening the
commanders of the different corps, divisions and
brigades received their orders and prepared to
execute them.. The order contemplated a fierce
cannonade front daylight until ten o'clock, hut
for some unexplained reason it was not opened
until after eight, During the night, however, the
gunboats and mortars tying in front of Vicksburg
kept np a continual fire, and droppcd't.heir fiery
tnessengers right and left without distinction.—
During this bombardment several buildings were
set on fife by the exploding, shells. It is impossi
ble .to estimate the damage occasioned by thus
dropping into Vicksburg these heavy eleven and
thirteen inch-shells.
WHERLTtJE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ABE.
Before ;we approached the city the General
Commanding ordered all the women and children
for miles around Vicksburg to come within, the
iqtrepohnients, assuring them that in that way
they would escape all danger- Tire consequence
is that there are a large number of non-combatants
in Vicksburg, exposed to. all the dangers of siege
and bombardment.

At eight o'clock this morning, according to

everywhere subjected to a a murderous, enfilading
and crosss fire, they pressed close to the rebel
works to find ihat a deep ditch, protected hy
sharp stakes along the outer edge, lay between
them and the imrenchmcnts. They planted their
flag directly lielbrc the fort, and crouched down
behind the embankment, out of range of the
rebel fire, as candy as possible, to await develop
ments. The soldiers within the fort could not
rise aliove the parapet to fire at them, for if they
did a hundred bullets came whizzing through the
air and the adventurers died.
