A True Prophet but a False Man.
Alexander 11. Stephens, the Vice
President under Jeff Davis earnestly
opposed the secession of Georgia,Trom
the Union, in a Convention of that
State, called to decide the question, in
the winter of ISlil. In a speech be
fore said convention, Mr. Stephens said:
‘! What reasons can you give that
,even satisfy your Selves in a calm
:meat—what reasons can you give
fellow tillitiavEs in the calamity
will bring upon you? What
s can you givd to the nations of
all to justify it? And to what
-r one overt act can you name
on which to rest the plea of
you ? What right has the
sailed? What interest of the
,as been invaded? What ins
been denied ? and what claim
I in justice and right has been
Ad ? Can either of you to'-day,
.e. one governmental act of wrong
.oliberately and purposely done by
the Government of Washington, of
which the South has a right to com
plain ? Ichallenge the answer ! While
on the other hand, let me show you
the facts of which I wish you to judge,
and I will only state facts which are
clear and undeniable, and which are
Clear and which now stand as records
authentic in the history of our coun
try."
Mr. Stephens then stated that the
North gave them the slave trade for
twenty years—a three-fifths represen
tations in Congress, and. in the Elec
toral College, and the Fugitive Slave
Law of ISSO. Also, that the North
yielded to the demands of slavery by
giving them Florida, Louisiana and
Texas, and ample territory for four
?pore slave States. He cautioned the
eonyention against the proposed suici-
Al act of secession, and predicted that
I.iltiruately they would fall, "and have
your last slave wrenched from you by
kern military rule as South America
and Mexico were; or by the vindictive
decree of a universal emancipation, which
may reasonably be e.rpected to follow."
11. r. Stephens called attention to the
pet f.tw, the South have always en
joyed the largest amount of benefits
pnder the Government; a large major
ity of Presidents were from tho smith;
I,,yhilst, they had " the control and man
(tummy of most of those chosen front the
North." They had sixty years of
Southern Presidents, against twenty
four Northern, and the same propk
tion of other officers under the Gov
ernment, including the Army and Na
vy, and down to the clerks in the de
partments. In conclusion, Mr. Ste
phens said e "Leaving out of view, for
the present, the countless millions of
dollars you must expend in a war with
the North; with tons of 'thousands of
your sons and brothers slain in battle,
and offered up :is, sa'rificcs upon

Such is the language of Alexander

Our Army Correspondence.
CAMP NEAR WHITE OAK CIFURCII,
VA., May 28, 1863.
DEAR GLOBE :-
The conclusion of my
last letter left us, I think, lying at our
defences, on the famous road along
which our lines extended. It was re
ported along the lines that Jackson
bad made a speech to his men, to the
effect that they must capture and hold
that road. The statement was attrib
uted to us North Carolina prisoner.-
-As the report was at that time gener
ally credited, it was interesting to ob
serve the impreSsion made upon the
mou by the anuouncement of " Stone
wall's" intention to rout them. The
arrival of pay-day is scarcely so warm
ly greeted as was the intelligence that
the redoubtable Jackson had resolved
to pay us a visit. No ono seemed to
consider defeat at afl among the possi
bilities of the case; but every one
seemed to enjoy great, satisfaction in
supposing that the time had at last
come when the career of that formida
ble rebel was to be summarily check
ed. And there the lay and waited
and waited, but "he came not, Oh ! ho
can
On the evening of Tuesday, May
sth, a storm set in. Such rain; is rare=
I . y seen along our Juniata. Shelter:
tents soon became almost untenable.
How the water ran ! After dark, the
rain continuing at intervals, some new
movement became apparent. The
voice of the Colonel was heard, giving
in low, cautious tones, the order, " Fall
iu." The men could not see their bay
onets. The line was formed, then the
heavy, unmistakable bass , of Colonel
Dwight's voice was heard again, from
company to company, ''Order coun
termanded ; the men will return to
their works." Soon after, we receiv
ed permission to build fires. It was
no easy matter, but it was not long
until huge fires were blazing outside
the breastworks and close to the lino
of abatis. Coffee was made, yarns
spun, jests manufactured, and no
doubt every one felt good, especially
during the showers, one of which came
on before the other went off. About
two in the morning we again got into
line, and started for the river. That
was ono of the marches ! Darkness
rivaling that which afflicted Egypt,
rain which had saturated rubber blan
kets and the garments under them—
torrents streaming in every gulloy—
pools correcting the inequalities of the
road, by filling every depression, and
mud that—that—well, I do not feel
qualified to do justice to that feature
of the entertainment. Mud to the:
boot-tops,—shoes were nowhere—mud
to the knees, coat-skirts were drab
bling in mud—a positive fact; and as
now and then some poor Wight stum
bled in the darkness and went flound
ering earthward,—what could descrip
tion do for such a case as that ? And
would the good folks who now read
the Globe in cosy corners ," within,"
thinking, some of them with tearful
eyes and sympathizing hearts—God
bless them—of the soldiers " without "
--would they, I wonder, believe me if
I were to tell them of the gayety Mud
good spirits which never once failed,
even under such circumstances? There
was, indeed, hero and there, one for
whose endurance the task was rather
too great; and many felt quito cha
grined at going back without a fight;
yet it was a gay march, withal.
After crossing the river and taking
breakfast, we marched toward our
former camp. We took a long rest is
the afternoon. There was, it seems,
some misunderstanding as to where
we were to go. ToWard evening, we
moved on, were benighted, it rained,
poured, we waded, we plunged, the
men, picking their way, began to seat-
I ter, and at White Oak Church the
march ended. The church was crowd
ed, the rest found shelter where they
could. I stopped in a cabin, used as a
kitchen and out-house, which a squad
HUNTINGDON - , PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1863.
of the 150th had rented for the night
for the moderate sum of five dollars.
The next day wo reached our old
camp, rested there one night, then
moved back or forward toward the
river, and encamped not far from
where we lay on the first night of the
expedition. We have since moved
backward a mile, for sanitary reasons,
and are now within a mile of White
Oak Church. You would like to know
what is to be done next in this depart
ment. As General Hooker is quite se
vorO with imprudent correspondents,
it is somewhat hazardous to disclose
military arrangements; still, I am wil
ling to risk telling you what I know
of the operations which are to occupy
us during the next month. I assure
you that I know nothing , about it,
whatever. This is not in the ordina
ry style of correspondents, I confess,
but should they take it as a copy, their
letters, though less interesting, would
be immeasurably more truthful than at
present.
I beg pardon of Cp. I for delaying
hitherto to award it that prominence
in the account of these movements
which should be given it by one whom
it once kindly recognised as its " own
correspondent," though now, for a
time, separated from it. But I was
with them on the march and at the
breastworks, and I know how well—
how cheerfully, every man did his du
ty. 'The company has lost in numbers
since it came out, but those who re
main are, every one, a soldiOr. Sonic
of our boys proved unable to endure
the hardships of a soldier's life; we
sent them home; it is no disrespect to
theM to say that those who remain
are, physically, the choice soldiers of
the company. Capt. Blair is decided
ly the most popular Captain within
my knowledge ; lie ought to be popu
lar; always cool and thoroughly self
possessed-, alwayS courteous and con
siderate, always clicerfVti, he is just the
man to win the confidence and affec
tion of the company. Lieut. Weaver

A. Thompson has become • Ist Lieut.

ant. • I have only room to say - that
private Isaac Drake has a sword which
begot by capturing a rebel lieutenant,
and with him, either two or three pri

Noble Sentiments.
The following patriotic speech was
made by Colonel O'Brien, of the 13.1 th
Regiment, at Pittsburg, on the 29th :
Comrades of the 134th :
For tho past vino months we have
been drawn and held together by
more than ordinary tics; by our regi
mental organization; by our sharing
alike the long and weary march; the
rough bivonacks and the midnight
camp-fire. You have passed through
it all with fidelity to your country,
and honor to yourselves. [Applause.]
You have all nobly done your duty;
you have stood by your country's flag
alike in our bright, sunny hours of
victory, and in our dark, wintry hours
•of defeat, without a murmur.
We are now about to sepafato to
our homes, to gladden the hearts of
many around the nearly deadated
firesides in the counties front which
we came. Too true, you miss many
from your ranks to-day that started
out with you, ten mouths ago, full of
young life and hope. They sleep, ma
ny of thorn, iu Maryland and Vir
ginia; but they will not soon be for
gotten. They freely gave their young
lives in defense of a country they had
been taught to love from their child
hood. Your return without them will
add new sorrow to those that mourn;
and though you cannot place smiles
ou the cheeks now moistened with
tears, you can bear part of their sor
rows with them ; for you well know all
that they have lost.
, When YOU REACH lIO3IE, DO NOT DIS
BAND. [Great applause.] On the con,
trary draw together • the fragments;
RALLY ON THE CEN'.I2I?,E, AND
FORM A GRAND RESERVE ' I may say;
AND EVEN AT HOME SEE THAT
TILE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT IS AS
SERTED and it will tcaoh traitors hereaf
ter to dank long before they act; for ,the
true soldier hates the white-livered wretch
of the North more, who,,by his serpent
speech, tries to aid the rebellion, than
he does the bravo men he meets on the
battle-field, risking their lives, though
in a wicked cause. tTremendous ap
plause, renewed again and again, dur
ing which the gallant Colonel was
obliged to stop for several minutes, the
ladies in the galleries joining in the
demonstration and waving their hand
kerchiefs.]
My boys, you have all learned ere
this that military law is severe; but I
can safely say that no regiment re
turns to ,our own lovtA rennsylv'ania
with a fairer record than your own,
for good order and obedience to the
laws, strict though they be. .Ana now,
qu'our parting, if I may have been too
seVero with any of you, I know the
brave are always tender-hearted, and
I knoW I need have no hesitation in
asking you to be generous and for
give, for I can assure you 1 often as
sumed a seyprity, though I felt it not.
nd now, wiAing every man in your
hgnored ranks a hearty welcome from
the loved' ones at 'home, s l will bid you
all a kind good-bye.
-PERSEVERE.-
What do these People Mean ?
The following comments which wo
find in the New York Daily Times,
upon a subject which is just now at
tracting public attention, aro put forth
with much point and pertinency, and
wo trust will be duly considered by all
whose eye may fall upon' them. The
Times is one of the able and dignified
papers of the country, and its words
are entitled to great weight :
The Richmond Dispatch puts ques
tions to Governor Seymour and the
participators in the " Vallandigham"
meeting at Albany which they will
find it rather difficult to answer.—
"What do these people mean ?" asks
the rebel organ. "Is there one ;kind
of liberty for, them, and another for us ?
Ono kind of justice for them, and an
other for us? Or arc we unworthy to
be free, and they too good to be slaves
low can they coolly and unblushingly
applaud the invasion of the South, and
reprobate the arbitrary arrests of the
North ?"
_ .
The position of the relgels from the
outset has bebn that President Lincoln
had nu constitutional right to make war
upon theirs, Mr. Buchanan set forth
the doctrine, in his last annual mes
sage, and adopted it as his own, say
ing, "IL may safely he asserted that
the power to make war against a
State is at variance with the whole
spirit and intent of the Constitution."
The specific ground on which Virginia
and the other Border States Seceded
from the Union, was the unconstitution
ality of the President's proclamation,
after the attack on Sum ter. Governor
Letcher, in his Proclamation calling
upon his State to arm itself, made it
his chief point that "the Presidonkof
the United States, in plain violation of
the Constitution, issued a Proclamation
calling for a force of seventy-five thou
sand men to cause•the laws of the, Uni
ted States to be • duly executed over a
people who are no longer a part of the
Union, and in said proclamation threa
tened to exert this unusual force to
compel obedience to his mandates."—
Brock inridge, during the extra session,
! in an elaborate speech against the "bill
to suppress insurrection am.l sedition,"
denounced every section of iL as "a fla
grant and obvious violation, a the
Constitution," 'and declared ,that it
would abolish all . : State government,
and (lest - toy the hist vcstigo of political
and personal liberty." .And such has
been the uniform languat,e of the rob
f r.;"1- ThQY
have never ceased to -- stytc - President.
Lincoln a usurper and a tyrant, for
' arrogating military powers and setting
aside civil guarantees, in violation and
defiance of the Constitution.
Now what is the difference in prin
ciple between the doctrine of the south
ern rebels that the President of the
United States has no authority to
make war, and the doctrine of his Nor
thern opponents, that he has no right
to make military arrests ? How can
it be pretended that a war is constitu
tional, and yet that the rules of war,
as established by universal law and
recognized by Congress, are unconsti
tutional ? What right has the Presi
dent or General under him, to take the
life of a rebel spy, that he does not
have to take the liberty of any one who
gives "aid and comfort" to the rebels ?
Is not the Constitution alike explicit
in saying that "no person shall be de.
priced of life, liberty, or property, with
out due process of law ?"
We, who support the President, have
a rational and consistent answer. Wo
say that in neither case is there a vio
lation of the Constitution, because the
words "'due process of law" embrace
military courts as well as civil, and in
time of war apply to all military pro
cedures whatever that are justified by
the laws of war and required for its
successful prosecution. The rebel on
the battle field is shot down constitu
tionally with due process of (military)
law, very summary though it be; so
the spy is constitutionally hung by
drain head court-martial; and so, too,
may ho who gives aid and comfort to
the enemy be constitutionally impris
oned by military authority. The. Con
stitution, in authorising a war, author
ises all the necessities and incidents of
war. It brings into force war powers
which arc latent in time of pence; and
these powers are in every sense as
strictly constitutional as any of the or
dinary powers belonging to a period
of peace. The men who framed . the
Constitution adapted it for all experi
ences. They built their ship for the
hurricane as well as the calm.
They who oppose the President—in
sisting that in making military arrests
of men like Vallandigham, he assumes
powers which do not belong to him—
find themselves in a very ungracious
dilemma. They We to sacrifice ei
ther their consistency or their loyally.
If military law is unconstitutional as
exercised toward the abettor of an en
emy, it is unconstitutional as exercised
against the enemy himself. If the one
has a full right to the municipal law,
so has the other. There may ho a
difference in the grade of their offen
ces, but thfit does not make a difference
in their respective constitutional rights.
We meet .this matter on. the broad
ground on which the champions of Val;
landigham have chosen to place it,—
They have not contented themselves
with saying that he was not guilty of
the military offences charged upon
him, or that he was not tried by the
proper tribunal, but they haveussorted
that his original evred. .by military
power was an unconstitutional act.-
1t they simply maintained that milita
ry law, being founded on the necessi
ties of war, was limited to those feces
that there was no military ne
cessity for the arrest of Vallandighant,
and that irkr,itfo're no military hand had
touch Into, the :!.t'L;111110tit,
=IS=
would have been perfectly legitimate.
Wo could answer that his open, public
defiance of a military order created a
military necessity to take some action
against him; because military orders,
so long as they stand at all, are in
their very nature supreme. It is the
duty of every 'than to obey thorn until
they are rescinded. The military au
thority alone can judge of the military
exigency. Any other practice would
make all military efficiency impossible.
But still our quarrel is' not with those
who deny this. We will concede that
that is fairly debatable ground. It is
the extreme position beyond that,
where Horatio Seymour and most of
the other advocates of Vallandigham
have placed themselves—namely, that
there is no military law to which a ci
vilian is constitutionally subject, and
no military hand by which he May be
constitutionally arrested ; it is this ex
treme 'position, we say, that bettor be
comes the rebels than loyal men. The
Richmond paper is' perfectly right in
ridiculing the inconsistency of those
who hold it, and yet profess to support
the war. If the war cannot constitu
tionally carry with it all the powers
necessary to its successful prosecution,
then tho war itself is unconstitutional;
and both Davis and Vallandigham are
alike champions of constitutional prin
ciple—alike victims of atrocious usurp
ation. The whole theory excites in
loyal mind's nothing but detestation
and disgust.

WAsunurros, May 25.-=The World's
correspondent is General Grant's ar
tily arrived hero to-day from Rich-
Mond, which place he left on Saturday,
after a tour of three weeps in South
ern States, havin.- . crossed from one
corner of the confederacy to the other,
passing through the States of Mississ
ippi, Alabama, Georgia; Tennesseci,and
Virginia: He has eonverSed With per
sons from all parts of the confederacy
and has gained an anterior view of the
rebellion and its upholders.
Ho fell into the hands of thd brioiny
in• attempting, to. 'run the blockhdo.of
Vicksburg• on the, tug
,Sturges i laden
with supplies. for , Grant's army, in
company with two of the Now York
Tribune's attaches. The tug Was ex
ploded by a shot in.ber After
a terrific cannonading of fortk Minutes,
Setting tiro to the barges, the crokv took
to hay-bales in the middle of the river.
About a hundred shots were • fired in
all, twenty of which wore fired during
thwonflagration. Hebel boats picked
ur twenty-five men, including six
scalded and wounded. Four are be
lieved to be lost. Captain Warn, of
the Forty-seventh Ohio, and Surgeon
Davidson were the only officers saved.
The captain, pilot, engineer, and fire
man of the tug are missing. They
wore taken at first to the - Vicksburg
jail—a filthy hole in which were ne
groes, deserters and offenders, and af
terwards removed to the court house.
They judge Vicksburg to be much
weaker than it is represented to be.—
Only fifteen thousand men were in and
about at that time. Generals Loring
and Forney commanded corps there.
On the 6th the prisoners were sent to
Jackson, where General Pettus was
sending off public property. Griorson's
raid bad alarmed all Mississippi. Two
days afterward they were moved to
Selma and Montgomery, where they
met Joe Johnston and 600 troops from
Savannah reinforcing Pemberton.—
There was a half-finished gun' boat at
Montgomery. The troops in Mississ
ippi and Alabama were excellent. On
the 12th were sent to Atlanta, where
they were confined in a military prison
in consequence of the excessive atten- '
tion shown Union prisoners by the
populace two days before. On thql4th
they traveled to Dalton and Bridge
port and via Knoxville and - Lynch
burg to Richmond, where the Libby
Prison closed its doors upon them on
the 16th. They remained there six
days, and were liberated on Friday
last, with the freedom of the city.—
They were exchanged at City Point
on Saturday. The Trihuno correspon
dents were all retained.
Prison life was bad enough, but bet
ter than the treatment of their own
soldiers. Tho prices of everything
were ruinously high. Gold was quot
ed at-S5 to S 6 premium: Sugar, 51,75
per pound; coffee, $5. Richmond was
bare of troops, one regiment going
south daily. The recent of Stone
man had created ar, inimense commo
tion for the safety of the 'city. The
loss of Confederates at .Chancellors
ville was seven • thousand disabled.
4]l the prisoners taken at that battle
have been exchanged; tho only offi
cers retained in Richmond are 75 'of
Col. Straight's command, those of tho
Indianola, and a few' from the West.
Col. Straight fought Forest five clays,
till his ammunition was oXhausted,
and his animals gave out. Forest's
loss was five hundred; ours fifty disa
bled. After marching two hundred
miles into the .cnemy's territory, hp,
had no alternative but surrender,, or
extermination. ' Rragg's artily is said
to have been or; half nations for' it
month.: Gen: 'Van 13orn's staff Ideny
that his death was caused by domes
tfc trouble, but allege that Lir. Peters

. At the rebel war department on
Friday, night, discouraging news lyas
received from Johnston's army, which
was not made public. Saturday after

' General Lee and His slaves
THE TENDER AII:ROTES OF THE WICHCED..I
, -The following extract from a private
letter written by a young man connec
ted With the A.riny of the PotOnme to
his father 'in Massachusetts, and' pfth
lished in the Boston Journal, , gives
some forts concerning the rebel. Gener
al Lee and his treatment of his. slaves,
)vhich forcibly illustrates the bratali
zinri effects of slavery. 'The - letter is
dared Fort Albany, Virginia, Apr.
"Some time ligo • I 'eallod , On ono of

seers. „His ,estate was jmulensp. ; At
Arlington he owned (through his wife)
Seven hundred acres in one lot, eleven
hundred acres' in -another, and' othei
large tracts in the state. Ire had four
hundred slaves right here; how, naany
elsewhere I don't know. Thusyou see
his
. Possessions wore very great,' and
being so near Washington', Georgetown
and. Alexandria,. very valuable. Ile
had carriages, plate, and all the equip r
age of n proud - Virginia aristocrat.—
Ile' was' almoSt worshipped '.by,the
gay, the haughty, the renowned and
the gifted. His position was envied,
his name honored. •
"`This slave had a score of sons and
daughters. Ono by one they. were
torn train Min, until now, in his help
less old old age, but one son and two
daughters remain. One daughter and
the son were too young to be carried
away; the other daughter way too
smart to be entrapped. It was really
affecting to hear this man toll his
wrongs and his anguish at parting with
his loved ones. He ' knew they , would
have to be sold sometime,' ho said' but
they were my children and I couldn't
help loving them.' Some were seized
in his presence, and sold ,before his
face; others were meanly stolen at
night and hurried off without a good
bye blessing. •
" Ono day the slaves had been work
ed unusually hard. It had rained furi T
ously all (and I know What a Virgin
ia rain is), at evening they returned to
their.huts, wet, weary and hungry.—
The family had .nothing 'to eat, they
had been at,)york all day, and couldn't
procure anything, and two Of the boys
went to the brook to catch' a few fish.
It was dark, but they worn seen ;rind
reported. The aristocratic Geu. Leo
ordered them to be whipped at a per
tain hour the next day. All the slaves
were assembled to see the floggirig.—
Pour boys and a girl were to bo flogged:
'lt was done in that barn,' and he poin
ted out the desecrated building. The;
overseer lashed away at the boys - until
their backs were raw and ;bleeding—
Next camp the girl; her back Was strip
ped and her hands tied so that. her feet
could just touch the - flocir. - .Tho over
seer gazed. at her tortured form .alid
hesitated: Lee ordered; him to flog
her. Can't do; it,' the 'overseer re
plied. Again he ordered, and again
the overseer -replied, 'Master; I can't
whip a woman.' Lee snatched... Abe
whip and • with his own hands flogged
a helpless woman, woich his , overseer
had 'the manliness not to do.
"As I heard this;blackMan toll these'
stories, I felt what I cannot express.
My heart throbbed with indignation,
and my body trembled with passion.
Oh, how Ifrivanted the power to
avenge this man's foul wrongs ! -*-
cause ho Was black, ho suffered'eruel

trampled under foot as a'chattel, and
not a word of intercession permitted ?
And I thought i too, of a rigid:eons Geld
