English are defeated and w.II be unable to

FRIDAY MORNINQ, MAY .6, 1864.
The War.
During the part week therm lies been tow lit
tle Dbls of importanee from the Army. Fuller
details of line disasters of the Federal form on
Itei River and m North Carolina, have come in
futb' eon(lrmin.; the reports heretofore published.
The Confetti rate geport, of the battle on Rod
River platen our loan •in -Killed and woun
ded at eight thousand, and elaitee In have
taken over four thousand prisoners. The Age
soya:
Affairs at 4 evidently approaching a crisis on
the Rapidan. Reinforcements are being hurried
forward to Gen. Lee. Ileauregard, with teenty
thourand mon, is said Ito bare passed northward
through l'eteraburg.
The Confederutei aro reported to have with
draw their westertirivlng a short distance back
from Madison Court 'House, and are concentra
ting their forces towards Fredericksburg. They
evidently expect Grant to make a dash towards
Richmhuil over the route pursued by the Kilpat
rick raiding party. As the old telegraph line
between Alexandria and Fabirth is being re
construt fell this would seem to be probable.
The Federal to •pe are evacuating Texas.
This bus Loco rendered necessary by the disas
ters on the Red itiaer. Nu particulars have
beau received of this evacuation boweisr.
The Red River expichtion has certainly been
abandoned: Gen. Banks bas withdrawn from
Grand Ecorc to Alexandria. one hundred miles
down the river. The fleet has also nailed down,
and the upper waters of the river are given up
to the enemy.
The• Federal garrison at Washington, North
firrolina, have given up.the town and retired to
Ncpbr•rn, on the Sound,' twenty miles distant.
The enemy are not near the place, and this evac
uation was a necessity, caused by the weak Fed
al force there.
General Polk is said to be treoritempkating
gigantic raidrupon Port Hudioa with Arenty
thousand men. , It is arety weakly garrisoned by
negroes.,

Whereby the people of the Eouth - Were

those' States in -maintaining their local
organizations. But there is no such ex
cuse for the leaders of the Democratic
party: They Augu , full well that the se
cession of the Southern States was not
the result of momentary excitement,
that the people of those State. l 4 were not
overawed I:ordain:lied down by military
powers; but that they acted upon ma
ture reflection - and with the- flash convic
tion that they could no longer remain
in the puion without: endangering ~ e-riotd).

and which they had always been fore
uno,t in defending. Reinouratb of the
North who' had stood shin by side with
-itch teen as Stevens, and Nelson and
Houston, in re s isting the progress of
Abolitionisa, and in warning the people
. the Union front the Northernenerniesof
the Constitution, knew that those great
statesmen of the South had not cast
their fortunes with the new Republic,
without 'loin; deliberation .and ti settled
cunt icium that their States could no
lonttf.r be free in the old. The lenders
of the Abolition party have been much
blamed fur misguiding Itonest people of
the North ; but in imr opinion leading
Democrat; are vastly more to blame
than tint. This Administration had
its purpo-es to accomplish, which were
the destruction of the Constitution, the
overthrow of the government, the subju
gation of the South, and usurpation of
tin; powers held -by the States, that
a great central despoti-m might latrear
kd, underwhich could be carried out the
wicked schemes they had been propaga
iing for ]limy. years. They were wise
enough to know (hat with the great
Democratic party or the North arrayed
against. tine, their schemes would fall
to the ground in six. month., and them
fdves fide tjettms . to the bloody monster
they had called forth. They were too
wise to angle with a naked hook ; and
the:, CON CIA uglitte:ss with a specious
bate. The 1111M..3 of the Democratic
party looked for an example to those
who had led them in the past, andupen

Democratic, party because , the war cry of
its enemies, and upon their standards
was entblazoned the name of • the Union"
they hated, and at that cry - minibus of
armed men rushed to its destruction.
As the waichntan who cries tire when
his charge is in ashes, so the Abolition
ists raised the cry of "Union" when they,
knew that by their own efforts it was
destroyed, that an excited and madden
ed people might tread the blood of their
brethren upon its new made grace, and
seal the portals of its sepulchre, that no
light of a resurrection mot. wraight, ever

of the' Democratic party too brace to
tarry when•they imaginedtheir country
in danger, blindly followed the standard
which had gone before them in the days
of Jackson, little dreiinting that ~ettr
noble vessel lad teen• boarded by pir
ates, who' hung out the banner of "Un

Men who had upheld the hands of Jack
son when the strife was' fierce around
Ititu.; men who had been leaders in our
:did party for a score of years, led our
honest peo"file forth, and now from the
ensanguined borders of our Republic
their blood cries to God, and upon the
heads of those same •leaders will the
righteous vengeance of Heaven fall.
But amid all the terror and 'excite
mentof the times, through all the pert
mentions to which we have been sub
jected, despite unconstitutional lemma&
the exercise of arbitrary waiter, men
have been found true to our ancient
principles, who in accordance with the
proposition of the great Douglas, that
"war is disunion," have opposed from
the•flrst the strife which is destroying
us, and more than once have 'endanger
ed theirliberties in an effort to stay the
bloody hand. • The great heart of the Dem
ocracy is right. Their honest convictions
have always been that this war was
wrong, and the sooner those who occu
