The Democratic Address.
What a Southern Democratic: Paper
Thinks of it--Treason Denounced by
the Victims of Treason.
[From the Noshate Ciaon, May MI
We have been intending for some
days to notice a very remarkable move
ment of certain Democratic Congress
men, well' knoWn as allies and sympa
thisers with Breckinridge,Cobb, Floyd,
and Humphrey Marshall. A meeting
was held the other day by these old
party hacks, whose reputations are as
battered and soiled as an old harlot's,
and addresses sent fbrth to the people
of the United States. This formidable
pronunciamento after circulating five
or six weeks got just thirteen signa
tures:
"W. A. Richardson, of Illinois; A. •L.
Knnpp, of Illinois; John Law, of Indiana;
D, W. Voorhees, of Indiana; \V. Allen, of
Ohio; 0. A. White of Ohio ; Warren P. No
ble, of Ohio ; George IL Pendleton, of Ohio;
James It. Morris, of Ohio; a L. l'allandig
ham, of Ohio ; Philip Johnson, of Pennsyl
vania; S. E. Ancona, of Pennsylvania; Geo.
K. Shiel, of Oregon."
Unavoidable absence, we presume,
on public business prevented the names
of Howell Cobb, Jefferson Davis, Jesse
D. Bright, Humphrey Marshall, Gusta
vus A. henry, Wigfidl, and Neill
Brown, from adding their lustre to
this newly-risen galaxy of patriots.
So much for the authorship of this ad
dress. And now let us see what are
its positions. The first proposition is
conceived in the very spirit of selfish
intolerance, as far removed from patri
otism and genuine Democratic feeling
as anything that can be imagined :
" The present administration was chosen
by a party, and in all civil acts and appoint
ments has recognized, and still does, its fen!.
ty and obligations to that party. There must
mind will Le an opposition." .
Vallaudigham and his crowd want
to continue in office, and get their old
friends back again, and for this pur
pose " there must he an opposition " to
the present administration. We thought
that as the nation was struggling with
n mighty rebellion, it was the duty of
All citizens, without distinction of sect
or party, to fly to the support of the
officers who had been put in command
of' the laboring ship of state, in order
to rescue her passengers and save her
,precious cargo. "lo,", say the thir
teen ; " the first thing is to settle the
question as to what sort of a flag the
ship must carry. And, next we must
have the offices. Nobody has confi
dence in us. We were turned out of
office for bad conduct, but the ship
shall perish unless we are restored."
But the address tells a monstrous
falsehood when it says that "in all its
civil acts and appointments the Admin
istration has recognized its fealty and
obligations to party." It is an impu
dent, glaring lie. Whom did Presi
dent Lincoln offer to appoint Secretary
of War? Joseph HMt, a Southern
Democrat, who is indeed worthy of the
name of Democrat. Whom did he
appoint Secretary of Wai:? lion. Ed wi n
31. Stanton, another life-long Demo
crat. Whom did he nominate as Maj.
General of the United States armies?
George B. McClellan, another firm un
wavering Democrat. What are Gem
Dumont, Gen. Buell and Gen. Halleck
Democrats nominated by President
Lincoln and confirmed by a Senate
overwhelmingly Republican. The au
thor of the address - ; to make out the
faintest shadow of a pretext for the
plot, was compelled to insert a false
hood. Had we space n•e could enu
merate hundreds of other appoint
ments—Andrew Johnson. as Governor
of Tennessee, for exfunple—who has
ever been the warm political enemy to
the President. But let us forbear.
The next proposition is a most sig
nificant one, showing clearly that this
address of the thirteen is to tickle the
cars of the Southern traitors:
" Tobegin the great work of restoration the
ballot-box is to kill _Abolition. The bitter
waters of secession flowed first and are fed
still from the unclean fountain of Abolition
ism. That fountain must be dried up.
"In this great work we cordially invite the
co-operation of all men of every party who
- aro - opposed to the fell spirit of Abolition,
and who in sincerity, desire the Constitution
as it is, and the Union as it was. Let the
dead past bury its dead. Rally. lovers of the
Union, the Constitution and of Liberty, to the
standard of the Democratic party, already in
the field, and confident of victory. That par
ty is the natural and persistent enemy of
Abolition."
Look at this attentively. What is
the first duty of the people? To put
down the rebellion and restore the su.
premacy of the Federal laws in the re
volted States? That is what we had
thought. That is what the loyal men
of Tennessee and Kentucky, and Mis
souri, and Virginia, and Maryland say
m

VOL, XVIII
—Johnson, and Campbell, and Pren
tice, and John M. Botts, and Gamble
and others. Xnt one word does the ad
dress say of putting down and crushing
I out the Southern Conspiracy. It ut
ters no rebuke against the rebels. It
deprecates neither bridge burning, nor
wire cutting nor guerilla marauding,
nor destroying railroad cars, nor any
confederate outrages. It is dumb as
the grave on the horrors now sweeping
over devoted East Tennessee, the home
of martyrs and patriots. It condemns
not the barbarity of the rebel Govern
ment towards our gallant prisoners.
It has no condemnation of the infa
mous conscription act, nor withering
invective to pour out like molten lava
on the heads of the rebels, who are
burning the cotton and sugar crops,
and desolating the South. Then it
speaks no cheering word of congratu
lation for our gallant and heroic sol
diers, who have left their farms, and
shops, and pleasant firesides, to save
the Government, and keep step to the
sublime music of the Union under the
flag of the Republic. It does not even
hint what every intelligent man knows
to be the fact, that the prime and mov
ing cause, the fountain head and source
of this rebellion, is a determination on
the part of Southern office holders and
corrupt aristocrats to destroy free gov
ernment and build up a monarchy or
aristocracy ou the ruins of Democratic
institutions.
The man who is ignorant of this is
ignorant of the speeches, addresses,
resolutions and newspapers of the Cot
ton States for the last twenty years.
He is ignorant of the celebrated speech
of Hon. L. W. Sprott, one of the lead
ing men of South Carolina, who de
clared that "SLAVERY CANNOT SHARE A
GOVERNMENT WITII DEMOCRACY 1" "Sla
very having achieved one victory to
escape Democracy at the North, must
achieve another to escape it at the South
He must be ignorant of the declara
tion of Vice President Stephens, as re
ported by the Savannah Republican,
that " SLAVERY" not Democracy,
mark you, or the right of man to rule
himself—but " Slavery is the chief cor
ner stone of our Government. The
ideas of the framers of the old Federal
Constitution were fn dowel) tally
wrong." In these declarations of the
leaders of the rebellion, which we are
obliged to cut short for want of space
—for they could be extended indefinite
ly—we find the true cause of this hel
lish rebellion. It was enmity to free
Government. It was a determination
on the part of an aristocratic clique
not to submit to the people, and be
controlled by an " ignorant majority,"
as we heard John C. Breckinridge gay,
at llopkinsville, Kentucky, in the sum
mer of 1861. As a further proof of
this, the Democratic party was hope
lessly split at Baltimore a year before
Lincoln came into power, and split by
the very men who issued this address.
It is also to be, remarked that on the
advent of Mr. Lincoln to the Presi
dency, the house of Representatives,
Senate and Supreme Court were in the
hands of the Democratic party. Why,
then, did the Cotton wing fly off and
set up a new Confederacy? The
Northern Douglas Democracy would
not be controlled by the insolent Bu
chanan Democracy, and so a disrup
tion took place. But this address of
the inglorious thirteen goes on to glor
ify the Buchanan Cotton Democracy
in this grandiloquent manner.
" It is the only party capable of carrying
on a war; it is the only party which has over
conducted a war to it successful ibsue, and
the only party which has done it without
abuse of power, without molestation to the
rights of any class of citizens, and with due
regard to economy. All this it has done ;
all this, if need be, it is able to do again.—
If success, then, in a military point of view,
be required, the Democratic party alone can
command it."
It then proceeds to 8:13" that its re
storation (that is, of themselves and
company,) to power is demanded by
the following consideration :
"Economy and honesty in the public ex
penditures, now at the rate of four millions
of dollars a day, demand it."
Such economy for instance as that
of Buchanan's secretary of War, J. B.
Floyd, that paragon of virtue, and such
honesty as that of "'sham G. Harris.
" Tho rapid accumulation of an ewmous
and permanent public debt demaneilt—a
public debt already one thousand millions of
dollars and equal at the present rate, in three
years, to England's debt of a century and a
half in growth."
It is a dreadful thing to go in debt,
isn't it, to save the nation ? The war
should be carried on for little or noth
jug. In fact, it would have been bet
ter, as Mfr. Buchanan thought, to have
no war at all. Just let our Southern
friends alone. The " thousand mil
lions" story is a big lie.
" Reduced wages, low prices, depression
of trade, decay of business, scarcity of work,
and impending ruin on every side demand it."
Everybody knows that the reduced
wages,' etc., arc all the fault of Lin
coln ! The loss of fat salaries by the
Southern friends also " demands it,"
but the thirteen are quite too modest
to say so.
We have our own opinion as to the
real origin of this damnable attempt.
The Southern rebel leaders are at the bot
tom of it. Nothing is more certain
than this to our minds. The chiefs
of the rebellion see that their work is
about to prove a disastrous failure, and
so they send word to this effect to their
Northern allies : " Give us two or three
free States to vote for our men, and we
will bring back the Cotton States in
solid phalanx, and hold the offices to
gether as before." This is certainly
the programme. Will the people see
it performed ?
_Fellow citizens, all ye who love your
country, by whatever name you have
been known in the past, let us frown
down all such miserably selfish plots
1 of partizans as this which we have
been reviewing, and, casting aside all
old party ties, unite together on the
broad platform of Union. Away with
partisan watchwords and names at an
hour when the nation is struggling for
life. Our dear mother country is in
peril, let us fly to her rescue. Let us
all be true Union men, true Democrats,
true Republicans, not in a partisan,
but in a national sense. We close this
article with a quotation from the last
letter written by the bold, patriotic,
and lamented Douglas. Let it be
traced in letters of gold over every
door in the land :
" I know of no mode in which a loy
al citizen may so well demonstrate
his devotion to his country as by sus
taining the flag, the Constitution and
the Union, under all circumstances,
and under every Administration, regard
less of party politics, against all assail
ants, at home and abroad."
Noble words ! Let them be the
motto of every loyal man in these tur
bulent and stirring times. ,
The Great Battle Near Richmond,
Account of the Battle on Saturday.
Headquarters of General Casey, Seven
Pines, May 31, 1362.—The advance di
vision of the Army of the Potomac.,
on the left, under the command of
Brigadier General Silas Casey, were
attacked to-day by an overwhelming
force of the enemy and driven back a
distance of two miles. Premonitory
symptoms of an attack had shown
themselves for two days previous, and
it was generally the opinion in camp
that the enemy contemplated such a
movement. Yesterday the enemy
made a reconnoissance in force, and
learned exactly the position of our line
of pickets, as well as the location of
our camp, and made their preparations
accordingly.
At the time the attack was made,
General Casey's outposts were within
about five miles of Richmond, near
Pair-oak station.
The position was gained by the re
connoissance made by Gen. Nagle, on
Saturday, the 24th inst., and our Gen
eral had orders to hold the position at
all hazards. The rebel Generals un
doubtedly made the attack in order to
prevent us from completing the fortifi
cations which we were building, and
also to feel our strength and learn our
exact position.
The outposts of our pickets were
less than a mile from the general en
campment, and very close to the pick
ets of the enemy.
About one o'clock the enemy fired
three shells into our_ cainp,_one after
the other, at intervals of abont aintri - - -
ute. which was probably a signal to
their forces that everything was in
readiness, and which caused no uneasi
ness in our camp from the frequency
of its occurrence of late.
Within a few minutes they came
upon our pickets unawares, and at
tacked them with great vigor and a
large force. Our pickets were either
killed, captured or driven in very
quickly, and the enemy advanced as
rapidly as possible upon our camp.
In the meantime. the regiments of
the different brigades had fidlcn into
line in anticipation of an order to that
effect, which soon arrived and at once
were off in double quick to the scone
of conflict. The most terrible of the
fighting occurred just as the enemy
had got through the woods and where
our reserves were drawn up to receive
them. The most desperate courage
was displayed here on both sides, our
regiments charging repeatedly on the
enemy, driving them back for a while,
when they would again in turn get the
upper hand and drive us before them.
The loss upon both sides at this point
must have been fearful, as every inch
of ground was disputed in the most
desperate manner, and was only gain
ed by overwhelming numbers and by
passing over the bodies of our dead
and wounded soldiers.
Our batteries at this time were pour
ing into the rebel ranks a perfect show
er of grape and canister, moving them
down in winrows, but still they steadi
ly step by step advanced till our lines
commenced to give way when they
charged upon our batteries and suc
ceeded in capturing seven guns which
we were unable to remove owing to
the horses having been killed.
The enemy were now in possession
of' our camp, and had turned our guns
upon our, retreating columns, while
the infantry continued to follow them
up as closely as possible.
Our men, although compelled to fall
back, did so without any symptoms
of a panic, but still quite hastily.
The enemy captured everything be
longing to Casey's division excepting
what they had on their backs, leaving
them without a tent or a blanket to
cover them. The supply of commissa
ry stores was very light in camp, and
all the baggage wagons and officers'
baggage had been sent to the rear two
days before. So that our loss falls
principally upon the men who had left
all their effects in their tents.
The attack was made so suddenly
and so unexpectedly, that at this time
(6 P. while the fight is still going
on, and all is confusion, it is impossible
to give the exact position which each
regiment held in the engagement.
The position of the different brigades
before the engagement, were as follows:
Gen. Nagle's brigade, consisting of
the 104th Pennsylvania, Col. W. IL. IL.
Davis; lltb Maine, Lt. Col. Plamsted ;
56th New York. Col. C. IL Vanwyck;
52nd Pennsylvania, Col. J. C. Dodge;
100th New York, Colonel J. M. Brown ;
were on the right of the Williamsburg
and Richmond stage road and extend
ed across the rail track some distance.
The second brigade, under command
of Gen. \Vessel's, consisting of the
85th Penna., Col. T. B. 11. Howell, 101st
Penna., Col. T. IL Wilson, 103 d Penna.,
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1862.
-PERSEVERE.-
Col. M. H. Lehmam, 96th N. Y., Col.
J. Fairman, occupied the centre and
guarded the turnpike, while the 3d
brigade, Gen. J. N. Palmer, command
ing, consisted of the 81st N. Y., Lieut.
Col. Deforest, 85th N. Y., Col, T. S.
Belknap, 92d N. Y.,
Lieut. Col. Ander
son, 98th N. Y., Lieut. Col. Durkee,
were on the left of the road and joined
the pickets of Gen. Conch's division.
It is impossible at this time to give
any reliable report of the number kill
ed and wounded in Casey's division.
These regiments are mostly compo
sed of comparative new troops and
have been reduced very much from
sickness since they have been on the
Peninsula.
The whole division could not have
numbered more than 6,000 effective
men, while the force of the enemy was
from thirty to fifty thousand.
The officers all as far as I could learn
behaved in the most gallant manner,
and their loss is large.
Gen. Casey was in the thickest of
the fight and was reported wounded,
but afterwards learned that heescaped
unhurt.
Gen. Palmer is reported killed, and
it is generally believed to be true, as
he was in the thickest of the fight and
could not be found. lie may have
been wounded and taken prisoner.
Gen. Nagle had his clothes riddled
by bullets, but escaped, almost mirac
ulously, without any serious wounds.
Gen. Wessels is rep6hed wounded.
Casey's division fell back to the Sev
en Pines, where the division of Gen.
Couch was drawn up behind rifle pits.
The battle raged fiercely hero for a
time, when Gen. Couch tentacle . , with
considerable loss, a short distance, but
finally succeeded in making a success
ful stand till the arrival of reinforce
month from Gen. lleintzelman, whose
troops were pouring in on the railroad
as I left the field and, I learn, succeeded
I jointly in checking the enemy and re
' taking part of the ground lost during
the day. What the casualities were
in Couch's division, it is impossible to
learn at the time of writing, as it is
near dark, and those whose statements
can be relied upon are still on the field.
I learn that - Peek and Devens' brigades
were actively engaged and suffered
considerable loss, but can learn noth
ing reliable from the balance.
About four o'clock word was sent to
Gen. Stunner to bring up his corps,
which was encamped beyond the Chick
ahominy. They crossed the bridge
built by his troops about three miles
above Bottom's Bride, and designated
by the name of the Grapevine bridge.
The last or them crossed about seven
o'clock, and marcht:: directly to the
Ti'Unr, -- cchr-re--t1.,137—wi111,44,--raatkv_for
whatever may transpire in the morning.
It is impossible to fix accurately
upon the number of our killed, wound
ed and missing to-night, but I should
judge they will reach six or seven hun
dred.
The loss of the enemy must have
been very heavy, as they received the
concentrated fire of our batteries for a
considerable time, besides the deadly
volley poured into them by our infan
try.
A largo number of our killed and
wounded must have 'Mien in their
hands. The object of the enemy, in
my opinion, was to make a strong rec
onnoissance, in order to feel our posi
tion, and, if successful, to drive us back
as fin• as possible. If such was the ob
ject of the movement, it was eminent
ly successful, as far as the events of
to-clay are concerned; but what will
transpire tomorrow remains to be
seen.
From a prisoner I learn that the ad
vance of the enemy consisted of Mis
sissippi and North Carolina troops,
under the command of Gen. Rhodes,
and supported by 50,000 men.
As the troops under Gens. lleintzel
man and Sumner were seen coming up
the railroad and turnpike at double
quick every one seemed to feel relieved
and felt sure that now the day was
ours, and that the enemy, although
temporarily successful, would soon be
driven back beyond our former lines.
As night approached the field pre
sented a dreadful appearance. Long
lines of ambulances could be seen con
veying the dead and wounded from
the field, while those that could not ob
tain conveyances were being carried
by their comrades.
Most of the wounded officers were
carried back to the House occupied by
General Heintzleman, where their
wounds were dressed, and every at
tention paid them to make them com
fortable, while all the outhouses and
tents were used as hospitals for those
unable to get in the house.
Our surgeons did their utmost to
mitigate their sufferings. Among our
surgeons whom I noticed as being very
busy were Drs. 110N-on, Simpson,
Brown, David and Smith.
About dark a train consisting of six
or seven ears was loaded with wound
ed and started for the White Idonse,
where they arrived about 10 o'clock,
and the wounded carried on board the
steamers prepared for the purpose.—
The steamers were, provided with ev
ery convenience and luxury for the
wounded, with kind and faithful fe
male nurses.
One cause of the disaster to Gen. Ca
sey's division was owing to the great
number of officers sick and unfit for
duty. Some of the regiments wont
into action •with only one field officer,
and very few companies contained
their full compliment of officers.
The division has suffered more from
sickness than any other on the penin
sula, from the fitet of its being composed
of troops raised last, some of the regi
ments in fact having been in the field but
a few clays, while the other divisions
had an opportunity, while encamped
around Washington, to get in a mea
sure acclimated and accustomed to
camp life.

It must be allowed that the rebels
fought with great bravery, and their
loss must have been very severe. They
again succeeded in playing the old dodge
upon our troops, by displaying a flag of
truce till they got within good range, and
then pouring in upon them a deadly vol
ley.
They succeeded in this way at one
time in completely silencing the fire
of our batteries.
Account of the Battle on Sunday.
Flushed with their seeming victory
of Saturday, the rebels awoke with
confidence on Sunday to follow up their
movements, sure of driving us this•time
to the Chickabominy and beyond, but
they had made the unfortunate mistake
of estimating the strength of our re
serves by the weakness of our advance.
Most bitterly did they pay for their
mistake. Pressing eagerly forward
with confidence of victory, they were
met by the trained troops of Heintzle :
man and Sumner, whose unyielding
columns checked their fierce assault,
turning the tide of battle everywhere
against them, and forcing them at the
point of the bayonet on toward Rich
mond. It was their turn now to break
and run, and their losses of the Sab
bath left them little cause for rejoicing
over the trifling gain of Saturday.
Terribly did the Rebels suffer on
this, as well as the previous day, from
the well directed fire of our artillery,
filling the ground with the slain, terri•
ble also to them were the frequent
charges of our solid colqmns, pressing
them back step by step to the last
point of endurance, when they broke
and run ingloriously, leaving behind
them many of their men and officers
as well as privates, prisoners in our
hands. The number of these it is not
yet possible to ascertain, several days
necessarily elapsing after every engage
ment before a full inventory can be ta
ken.

FREMONT'S HEAD QUARTERS, near
Strasburg, June 2.—General Fremont,
with a strong column, lett Franklin
last Stmday, and by rapid forced
marches has crossed the Shenandoah
Mountain ranges, marching nearly one
.hundred miles over difficult roads,
with little means of transportation and
no supplies in the country.
This morning, when five miles from
Strasburg, he overtook Jackson in full
retreat, with his whole force on the
road from Winchester to Strasburg.
Colonel Cluzerut, commanding the
advance brigade, came upon the ene
my, who were strongly posted with
artillery, which opened as soon as the
head of this column approached.
General Fremont brought his main
column safely up, and formed in line
of battle; but Jackson declined to fight,
and while holding Cluzerut in cheek,
with a portion of his troops, withdrew
his main forces and continued his re
treat.
In the skirmish five of the Eighth
Virginia and two of the 60th Ohio
were wounded. The enemy's loss is
unknown.
Twenty-five prisoners wore - taken
by our cavalry. Lt. Col. Downey, of
the Third Regiment of the Potomac

Ashby's cavalry through Wardonsville,
killing two and wounding three of
them.

eral:
' FELLOW CITIZENS :-I have been in
vited to say a few words to you before
the train starts, and while acknowledg
ing the honor which you have done
me, allow me to say that I do not ,like
ovations—they are very distasteful.—
I do not claim any credit for myself;
I have only tried to do my duty. I
am no speechmaker—by profession I
am a soldier—my business is war—l
speak by the mouth of the cannon and
with the blood of man. [Enthusias
tic cheers.] Let every man seek to
do his duty in this struggle in that
sphere which best suits him. I have
sought to do mine in the cause that I
have espoused. [A voice—'You have
clone yours." Other voices—["That's
so, he has.] But although I am a sol
dier, I regret that this war should have
been begun, and with my whole heart
I shall welcome the hour that brings
an honorable peace. [Tremendous
cheers.] But now that the war has
been provoked, let us have no peace
until this wicked rebellion is put down
and the black tyrant killed. [" Three
cheers for General Sigel" were called
fbr and given with the heartiest unc
tion.] The government must develop
its energies and put forth its strength;
traitors must not be dealt with lenient
ly, but must be made to feel rind 'to
fear the Union, as they havol,been and
do now in Baltimore. [" Good " " that's
the talk."] This is the only safe course
of action. It will restore confidence—
it will cause unity; Union men will re=
joice and rebels will be silenced. We
should haveia hundred thousand more
men. Can they not be obtained?—
[Voiees—" Yes, two hundred thou
sand," and cheers.] War is a horrible
thing, but is necessary, sometimes, to
put' down tyranny and .protect Liber
ty. Such a war is this, and I fight in
it with good heart. [Three cheers for
General Sigel " were again called for_
and loudly shouted.]
Danger in Kentucky.
[From the Chleinnati Commorcittl, May 23.]
There is not the least doubt but the
traitors in Kentucky are, by concert,
preparing to desolate the State by pre
datory warfare. They are well organ
ized, and have been preparing for
months to strike a blow; and now
they are in motion. Wo do not eon
jecturewe know—that squads of two
and three and a half a dozen young
men from the Kentucky counties bor
dering on the Ohio are nightly riding
to appointed places, all proposing to
form guerilla parties. Quite a number
have recently left Boone county, and
proceeded to join Humphrey Marshall.
Some were able to ride their own hor
ses. Others had horses presented to
them by rich Secessionists. Others
stole horses. We have heard of cases
in which young men stole horses from
their iltthers and ran away. They
have been constantly, but cautiously,
for several weeks, perhaps months,
buying arms and ammunition in this
city. In this business, They have been
helped by those among us who are so
weak or so wicked as to sympathize
with them. Nothing can save Ken
tucky from desolation by these scoun
drels but vigorous action. Whether
this will be re-taken before the country
is startled by a wild raid of the enemy
striking some important point, and do
ing great mischief, depends upon the
wisdom and vigilance of the authori
ties. If anything short of the actual
breaking out of guerilla war on the
Ohio would convince them of the ne
cessity of doing something, there is
evidence that would bring them to a
" realizing sense" with great rapidity.
A Friendly Word for the North,
[Nrom tho London Sono, :,1115 , 17.)
It is curious to observe the straits
to which the Southern sympathizers
are reduced, in order to account for the
_late successes of the Federalists. The
task, which a few weeks age was de
clared to be impossible, because of the
stern resolution of the Southern chiv
alry, has now, it seems, become possi
ble became this Southern chivalry has
forgotten how to
. fight.- NOW Orleans'
fell without the loss of a man; York
town has been evacuated with the
same pusillanimous cowardice; the
lists of killed and wounded are lament
ably small; in short, the Confederate
generals know nothing of war, and the
men proved themselves cowards. All
this is the merest delusion. At Pitts
burg, the Southerners, we know, fought
with a desperate resolution not often
witnessed; and the Southern officers
have generally proved themselves men
of ability. But the self-sufficient crit
ics of Europe—viotims of their own
shallow prophecies—consider it their
paramount duty to ignore the obvious
facts of the case. From tho beginning,
those who knew anything of the North
erners predicted that their superiority
in numbers and in wealth, must, soon
er or later, prevail. All they wanted
was organization and discipline. That

Quite a number of snob have been
heard from. The boldest is /lon. Mr.
Gilmer, of North Carolina, who, in
State Convention lately in session at
Raleigh, thus expressed himself while
speaking in reference to the now la;w
taxing slaves:
" I also, while I am up, desire to call
the attention of those gentlemen whcr
are opposing this measure to the. fact
that they, and they alone, were chielli
instrumental in carrying North Caro
line out of the Union. Yes, gentle
men, it is you who were in favor of
contracting a great debt ,by carrying
on a war with the 'Union. 'You claim
ed that secession was necessary, in or
der to give better security to the in
stitution of slavery; hence,- it was for
the exclusive benefit of your- property
that secession took place,
and this

mous debt was Contracted,'and 'ail 'Of
this misery and slaughter brought up.
on the country. ' At the commence
ment of secession you were exceeding
ly patriotic, and said that the South.
must secure her indeptndence, at whilt
ever sacrifice of blood or treasure.-
" Gentlemen; you have succeeded in
forcing the State but of the Union ;,
you have also succeeded in saddling a,
great debt, upon the State; thus far
your wishes have been realized. You
have had your way. In gratifying
your wishes this debt has been incur
red. You have remained at your fire
sides while the fearful struggle was
going on, and obliged those who repre
sent no property to fight Your battles.
Now that the debt has been contracted
by you, who represent the slave inter
est of the State, you nevertheless, have
the coolness, with ail these facts staring
before you in the fite . e,- to - rise-in-your .
places and refuse to 'be taxed. By ob
jecting to I say yoni. share of ;this great
'debt, you are obliging thOso who fought
your battles to pay it for you. I de=
sin to lino* if there can: be anything
more ungrateftil iniiiiman than
this ? I had no hand in bringing about
this unholy war. I was not in favor
of secession, and am not now. I boys
the old Union, and long to return to
its folds. I had no voice in contract
ing this debt; I have been opposed to
it all along. Notwithstanding this, I
am willing that my slaves should be
heavily taxed to liquidate this unjust
debt. Yea, I would gladly emancipate
them all if it would restore - us back as we
were before. The slavery question is the
cause of this war, and we shall never have
peace until a gradual emancipation
measure is adopted."
These are the wordy of a Southern
patriot. Let the sympathizers with
Secession read and ponder thorn.

NEW YORK, Juno 2, 1862.—The fol
lowing extract from a letter written
by a gentleman in New Orleans (a
twenty-years resident) to his brOther
in this city, will be found interesting,'
as it reveals several very important
points :
" NEW ORLEANS, May 1.3, 18d2...-
"My DEAR BROTHER : If I had no oth
er cause for gratification, I should ho
reconciled to the reoecupittion of this
city by the United States forces in On
abling me to communicate with my
dear relatives once more. That cir
cumstance, however, does not consti
tute the only gratification I feel at the
result. For one, lam entirely willing
to resume my allegiance to the oldflas,
whatever may have been my convic
tions which led me to throw it off, they
have undergone a radical change. I
have seen enough to convince me that
the leaders of this rebellion are a pack of
knaves, and, to me any Government is
preferable to the reign of anarchy and
terror the South has suffered under
thorn. -I will not trouble you by go•
ing into details, suffice it to say, that
nine-tenths of the population is in
volved in complete ruin.
"In the city we are reduced to the
verge of starvation. Without the as
sistance of the United 'states authori
ties, I know not what is to become of
us—for even when supplies come in
we have no money to buy. The only ,
currency is Confederate notesand shin
plasters. The banks have not a dollar
of specie, having sent it all off to Atlan
ta, in. Georgia. All that I possessed I
was robbed of in this way. General
Butler's proclamation No. 24 tells the
tale of our sad condition in a few
words. His appeal to the honest pop
ulation will nOt go unheeded. Wheth
er the Union is ever restored or not,
a day of reckoning will surely come to
the authors of all our ruin and distress.'
