EXTERMINATZOIL—Tho rebels are
perpetually telling .us that we will
have to exterminate the whole ' popu
lation-of the South before we can bring
their territory back-into the Li:Mon:L.-
Now, at the late election for State ofti•
cers in Arkansas, held under the Na
tional flag and authority, there were
polled seventeen thousand votes—be
ing one-third the entire vote of the
State at the last Presidential election.
Yet in other days we . heard the like
rebel cry from Arkansas, that we w'ld
have to exterminate everybody there
before:it would submit.: Probably
these rebel 'mal!gnan ts simply mean
that.they themselves must be exterm
inated, which is quite likely to be truo.
Noah Webstertells tbUt to exterm
inate means, .primarily, - "to driire . from
within the lirnite ? . or borders,' sancl , we
shall have no"poace until all Malignant

Bide of Jordan or of the Rio Grande.
The People and the Administration.
• An antique Gothic proverb says that
in a fight the grip of a coward is fierce
at the outset, but that it soon relaxes;
vybile the wilder the fray in which a
hero struggles the sterner and more
inexorable his gradp and the'stronger
his blows. The loyal people of Amer
ica now illustrate this proverb, by the
grand and heroic way in which they,
stand by the Administration -as
.the •
war progresses." ""fnitead of 4inching;
cringing and electing opposition:tick—
ets, so as to hint to the rebels that
they are sick of the war, the loyal vo
ters march up to the ballot box and
testify to their 'servants at Washing
ton, to their brethren in the field, to
the rebellious hordes, and to the whole
civilized world, that the Union must
be preserved, that - libertylifust tri
umph, and that nothing can itripede
.the onward march of the great Repub
lic. Here we see the old Roman spirit
of our RevolutionarY fathers ill:pear
ing among their children, '.We see it
among the White Mountains of Now
Hampshire, in the green valleys of
Connecticut, among the lovely inland
lakes and riversof.New to*, and in
the verylomes of traitors like Yellen
digham in Ohio. The manly determi
lfation of true Americans "will not
down" at the bock. cif.aimd•or •socret
ItAlitors. Like the' great warrior of
, • (Thep, they have 'registered a pa
l:lotho oath and they keep it sacred.—
We exult with .our. whole heart over
such evidence of ..the••dourage - icif true
ailk-S • ricans; and can listen with calm
:022icteht to tho Copporlmini — eineers at
:iiiParmy, their falsehoods about the
l i residont, tbeir.abuse of oar generals,
their clamor against "greenbacks" and
Government bonds. Tbeii venomous
utterances pass like idle wind, for we
know.that they can .make no impres-
Adon on a people so true and tried as
• these who uphold the pillars of the
. . .
And the reward of 'this long-suffer
ing must come at last. This patient
land, bearing its mighty burdens so
steadfastly, so calmly; mustllben. rise
up, before the nations, freed from all
forms of oppression, glorious in beauty
and strength. Her beacon-light fully
relumed once more,to cast its radiance
to the darkest corners of the earth,
will again be. the central magnet to
draw all men towards it. Then, too,
as the poet tells us of the "inexorable
past," our treasures will be returned
m the glory and the beauty of their
prime, and even of the rebellious south
we may say:
"All -shall come back; each tie
Of pure affection shall be knit again
Alone eball Evil die,
And Sorrow dwell a prisoner in.thy reign."

TEEMED YFIARS OF WAR.
It is now-within .a week of the ailed-
Versary of the day when armed treas
on boldly struck at the Federal Gov
ernment with parricidal. handi, and
brought down to the (last the proud
banner which had boon the onFign of
freedom and republicanism for eighty. :
five Years. Suinter first foil three
years ago, and the retrospect of the in
tervening time teaches us the wisdom
of tile principle never to despise wen-,
oray,,no. matter how insignificant, ho
may seem to be.
The North and the 'South both fell
into the same error at 'the -Outset'of
our Xational troubles. Ea . & underra
ted the prowess.and resources of the
other, and both have had abundant
reason to regret their error. The do
mineering Southerner, accustomed to
carry the manners of the plantation
into ,every walk of life, and to boat
down opposition in the legislature of
the nation with the strong hand, if be
failed in . ,:keen argument and soundlo
gie, aud who was deferred to by Obse
quious shopkeepers, who Were willing
to humor- his temper for the sake of.
his custom and his dollars-i f fell into
the error of believing that . a . ll North
ern men were either dirt-eating, time
r serving, ',dough-faced politicians,' or
huckstering tradesmen, whose •souls
were in their breeches pockets, and
who were content to be kicked, provi
ded they could make an extra sixpence
by tno•operation. - Independent of all
these considerations, the ehivalrk had
armed itself to the teeth. through the
"wise forethought" of Thief FlOyd, and
they believed that the "inudsills" lay
at their feet and at their mercy, and
ready to crouch like spaniels beneath
the lash. It is no wonder; then, that
they promised themselves* and .the
:world that Washington, Baltiniere and
Philadelphia should be seized, and the
Confederacy' be firmly established - up
on.the ruins of the old republic within
sixty days,' How miserably.: tbis..an
ticipation has failed is a matter Of his
tory. Instead of a beaten, cowed-.and
humiliated people, the loyal Neith and
West are aro as bold in their port as a
gladiator just engaging in 'the perils
ofthe arena, and their merchants and
tradesmen aro giving of their moans
towards the cause of the„Unioni both
in the field:rand the hospitalovith an
unprecedented liberality.. Meanivhile

heeded amid- the hum of honest toilers

triOtisnt in the loyal States is not dim.-

surface.
• But while our "wayward"' ternitt
gnat sisters of the South madoa*.terri
ble mistake in their first start in the
war, we of the loyal States were not
free from error. The seventy-five
thousand men first called out, and the
throe mouths. promised as th,e•litakof

inliuguration of the great strugglo.t--:
More men have fallen in the ,Union,
cause (eithoe.:through wounds or die-.
ease) than win.° first called uporcip

Wbilehoth' sides have made groat
mistakes of calculation and
,of.aetion,
the resultsinure different, sections are
strangely different. ThelOYal . States,

booin of the stolen guns leveled . at

vy world (perhaps): hai3 been
improvised, and the power and majes
ty of ; the nation has had a new and
Minerva-like hkrth in' springing* full
gro*n and armed front brain of .
tho parent emergency. • The loyal
States are prosperous almost beyond
proestant ;Smiling plenty is to be seen
uporlalL sides, and no portion of free
soil is trodden by tho foot of the open
foe, except as a prisoner of war.—
Whibi we have large armies in the
field, - an immense navy afloat, and. all
the =chi aery of a great war in ope-
ration, our resources aro scarcely
trenched upon, mad they seem abso
lutely' unbounded. We mistook the
necessity for this•hugo exertion at the
commencement of the war, and lire
wore equally ignorant of our ability to
make:tho vast effort that is now in
.
progresg.
What' a melancholy contrast to. all
this, the condition of the rebellious
States.. General devastation, trade
paralyzed, credit dead, commercial, 80- .

strayed . , Ports blOckaded, the soil of
the Confederacy oecupicd at almost all
important points by the hated Yankee;
the "peculiar institution," for which
the war was commenced,scattered and
broken up beyond the hope of mar
re,ction, and every, available man and
boy forced into. thte field by a merci
less and sweeping conscription, as - the
forlorn hope of the dying monster of
rebellion. • • . • •
But a:clying monster is terrible even
in its dpath-Strii,ggle,.and we should
not delucl!s.OVeolves into indervaluing
the enemy, who has already dealt us
some hard blows, and who is now as
desperate as a beast at bay. The
most vigorous policy is the wisest ,and
the most humane, and to that end the
loyal people of the country should
strengthen the hands of the Govern
ment in every possible way, and re
buke quasi treason at home, while
crushing, abroad, the most causeless
and wicked rebellion the world has

The Union Armin,
What 'With bounties, and drafts,and
re-enlistments, an enormous number
of men are now in, the service of the
United States. We believe we state d
fact, when we tidy that, at no period
of the war have eo many names been
on the payrolls of the Government as'
-during this month: ofApril., The ef
fective force, also, ofthe United States
is at the present time immensely large
and of a high order. The soldiers are
more hardy, vigorous, and inured to
campaigning than ever before, and
their dieeiplme-and drill aro far supe
rior to what they were in the first
years of the.war, _ '
Unworthy,officors have been weed , '
ed out togreat extent, and those in
command have been tested by battle
and danger, SO that our troops will be
better commanded than they have ev
er been. The Government .is able now
to concentrate heavy and efficient bo
dies of veteran soldiers wherever it
desires 'thews Coming down next to
such details as have been published, it
is said that an army of formidable di
mensions is being gathered at Annap
olis. • __
We observe also, that an officer of
tried service and . " great skill, General
Smith, is placed over .the military for
ces of Genera/Butler's Departments
We note furthermore that Gen. Meade
still keeps his position on the Rapidan
with an army increased in number
and refreshed, after the
_winter's rest
and the liberal furloughs. General
Grant's presence, these various
points in - Virginia indicates that he,is
preparing fol. some stroke, and that he
himself inteuda to guide and direct it.
Thcsvery silence and inaction thro'
the whole Union, under a Commander
in-Chief of s sueb well known energy as
Grant, is 'ominous of great blows in
preparation It is generally under
stood that General Thomas has an im
mense army at. Chattanooga, which
can, when the, word comes, march
with overwhelming force into Geor
gia.
It is obvious that all these various
bodies of men wait for some combina
tion of action, and that when they
' move it will be, as pieces moved by
one player in the groat chess-game of
strategy. It may, be considered cer
tain that Grant's plan of operation,
whatever it may be, will be one which
like his superb operations at Vicks
burg and °NAN:mega, will complete
ly startleNs - Rebels—that it will be
one which nobody expected, and that
will take the .eountry as well as the
enemy by surprise.
His campaign may be in Virginia,
it may be, in Georgia, and it may be
in neither of these States, even tho'
it be intnnded to bear upon one or
both of the great: armies of the Reb
els. In Virginia, he might adopt ono
or other of thnplans that have here
tofore been tried,• or,&Bearding them
all, he might Adopt e palpable one,
often discussed, of debauching an ar
my at wale point south of the James,
and marching hy Petersburg toward
Richmond:
Not less than seventy thousand men
we suppose,
couid be thus threatening
Richmond front, -this direction. At
the same time;'eighty . thousand, un
der General. Meade, press Lee's lines
on the RapidatirLee.should, of course
fall batik.tinder. vever of tho Richmond
workts.:.' Here Ire Would undoubtedly
have very advantageous central po
,sition for strikitig either invading aF
mylfis relatfort t ernsforees would-be
.scunewbist similar to that of N . apole,
during ; on, the itiVainorcof France by
the allies beforelis:baniShment to El
!ha. But Lee iiinme a Napoleen, 'and
as we have learnt, lost more than his
right arm in sStonewall jackson's
-death.:-.His'for6o would be inferior to
either of the invading armies, so that
Grant. need violate rio rule - of strate
gy in this double invasion. .
The drawbacks on our side would
be the spring rang and tbe malaria,
which would weaken our ranks, and
the raw character of many of the reg
iments moving 'from Fortress Monroe
as a base." BufAhci great attack must
be by Meade'astSeteran army. The
chances of battle are proverbiallyun
certain, but we,do not see how Lee'
could comfortably surviim under the
grindings of ale upper and nether
millstone. 11 - e*ight, it is true, evac
uate Richmond, and make a new line
in the southerrrpart of Virginia.. But
then Richmond, would become our
base, and the same game might be
tried with a .rear . , movement on our
part froixi No4flerri and Weldon.
But, again, it is possible that Grant
may compel the l evacuation of Virgin
ia it onto, by sgrand inovement from
North Carolinas , Fifty thousand men
inarching into,the , interior of that
State frolnWeldoil, cutting the rail
roads would cotispel Lee's immedi
ate retreat,; and transfer the _ seat of
war to North and South Carolina.
The - grearObjecitions to this move
ment are the difficulties of transpor
tation'ofsuch'a Vargo body, and the
long lino to bo defended from Weldoir
to the railroads..' ;Yet these may pos
sibly be overeetne and then General
Grant conquers:Virginia without a
battle. If either' of these movements
were adopted, if We suppose the Army
of. the Cumbdrlagd.advaneing at the
name tithe; into Georgia, we have a
stupendous display of strategy which
seems likely to be irresistible.
Wndo not mean to talk while 'put
ting on the armor,' as those should
who are 'taking -it „off,' but we cannot
but feel that the military movements
possible and. probable this summer
promise the monk,, happy . result. It
would not all sOprise us, if the next
Fouitla of July should see . the war'
transferred f r iom'yirginia to a narrow
er field far Southond General Grant

Coming close on the heels of the
Union triumph in Now Hampshire,
the success of the Union State Ticket
in Connecticut is but confirmatory tes
timony of the most positive character,
that the people of the North aro set.
tied in the determination to fight the
war through. These results should bo
regarded in no other light than as
showing that the people of the North
aro ranged on the side of the govern
ment, and its measures ; as a declara
tion of the purpose to stand by them,
and go, right ahead and through to
the end. These Union victories have
no other meaning,—a meaning that a
Copperhead can interpret as easily as
the man whose loyalty is uncondition
-1 al.
We are told occasionally . that the
people aro losing confidence, that pop
ular sentiment is undergoing a change.
Whore is the evidence ? Does the ma
jority of Ten Thousand, against less
than three thousand last year, show
it? Does h corresponding result in
Now. Hampshire show it? , Is it seen
in the local elections, everywhere al
most without an exception resulting
not only in the choice of Union candi
dates, but by overwhelming majorities?
Where is the evidence of change or
thought of it ?
, liad the contest in Connecticut been .
acridly of a party character, one thou
sand would have boon enough, and
perhaps all that could have been ex
pected. But as the issue Was higher
mid broader, the majority is .corres
pondingly greater. Ever since the
war began, on . this issue majorities
have been growing larger, 'The issue
will continue to he the Same—the
Country and the Goverament;, and
the .Copperheads and the rebels are
entitled to look whichever way they
please, to the past or the' future, for
cornfort.—Pittsburgh Cominercial
Speech of General Dix,
Gonoral Dix opened the groat Sani
tary .Fttir of New York, on Monday,
with the following speech :
Ladies and Gentlemen : We have
assembled for the purpose of inaugura
ting what, Ido not doubt, will prove
to be the most munificent contribution
of the day to the noblest of all objects
—to provide for the reliof of the gal
lant-soldiers who have become disabled
by disease and wounds while peril:ing
their lives for, the preservation of the
Union. (Cheers.) The civil war ; in
which wo are engaged is, under all its
aspects, the most extraordinary the
world has ever seen. The enthusiasm
of the Northern people in rushing, to
arms to save the governinent of their
fathers from destruction, their. indom
itable courage in • battle, their patient
endurance of hardship,"thiar steadiness
of purpose under all vicissitudes, the
readiness with which the whole com
munity eubmits' to pecuniary burdens,
the elastic , hope and the unshaken con
fidence with which all classes look for
ward to a: coming tranquility ; ender
the old institutions, are as remarkable
as the magnitude of I,be contest itself.
CApplause.l.OUr'eriemieS abroad have
said that the South are aniinated-by
the highest enthusiasm, and. that, we
are comparatively cold and unmoved
by -high motives of action: It is pre
cisely the reverse: The contributions
of the Northern people in, treasure and
blood have been voluntary offerings
and sacrifices, on the altar of their
country.. On the other hand,,the peo
ple of the South, at least for the 'mit
year, have contributed with reluctance
to the cause of treason under the ex
actions of a despotic government.—
Nothing Marks more strongly the.dif
lorence between them and us than the
wide spread operations of the Sanitary
Commission, and the earnest and do
voted efforts by which the ladies of the
North are giving vigor and scope to
its ministrations. [RenoWed applause.]
In the South 'manifestations of zeal
and devotion like these are almost un
known. —This is, indeed, ono of the
distinguishing characters of the strug
gle ou our side, and • if shows with
what intensity the public feeling is en
listed in it. It is a pecidiarity which
has marked no former contest. And
while States, counties, and towns,
with us, are imposing taxes enormous
in amount to raise . troops, the robot
Government in Richmond is support
ing its armies through forced contrib
utions from the Southern people, under
a,system of tyranny which has already
become odious, and is ovet,y moment
in danger of defeating itself by provo
king armed resistance. . .
The Trish Emigration to the United
"States.
The Cork Examiner gives a remark
able desoription of the emigrants who
are still leaving that port in large
numbers for the United States. It
Says there are among them some old
people and young children, but the
bulk are stalwart young men, full of
health and vigor, and young women,
gaudily dreseed, but - their bad taste
cannot conceal the beauty, the activi
ty, the bounding health for which the
Irish peasant girl has been so remark
able. Among them all there is scarce
ly one to.be seen poorly attired; The
goods of each party show that a small
farmer's household has been broken
up. Their conduct is remarkably.
.steady.—Though hundreds have some
times to wait a week at Queenstown
for V*, steamer, there is very little
drunkenness among theca, and seldom
a "spree," though they are noisy en
ough sometimes. The Examiner thinks
that few of the emigrants aro recruits;
there is none of the swagger which so
commonly betrays the aspirant for
glory and bounty: lt is true, the pas
sage is in many cases paid-with Amer
ican:money, but it is • with the money
of their relatives to whom they are
going. The Examiner denies that
Federal recruiting is in any important
degree the stimulus to Irish emigra
tion, and adds : "It arises out of the

Headquarters 110th Beg., Pa, V. T.
Camp nee!!! Brandy Station, Ta.,.
April - 1;'1864.
Ma. Ltwis : Dear Sir :—Permit me,
throtigh the colamns'of your patriotic
paper, to say to the - many friends of
this regiment that we are once..more
safely in camp. -We bad a slow trip
from. Harrisburg to the field—being
front Monday to Friday on the way.
When we reached Brandy Station it,
was raining almost in torrents and we
were 4 miles from the brigade- and no
quarters 'when there. You can possi;
bly sympathize !with the soldier when
you aro thrown out in-a dark night
without a shelter Or a. blanket: -.lt is
a proverb—"fortune favors the brave"
and we appreciated the favor shown
by - soldiers in the brigade- , and the
Christiah Commission that night; we .
Were welcomed to their tents. Since
that time-we have made two camps;
thiS has been oecasioried by - the reor
ganization of the army. Ifthe
ther was settled we would not -com-i
plain, but we have rain and sunshine
alternating with the days.'
This regiment - is composed of sol- -
diers,—men Who have passed through
all the inconveniences of tamp' life
and the fiery ordeal of battle, and froM.
such murmuring is seldom heard.
As.an evidence of the -Courage Of
this regiment and of its - record on the'
field I give you. an extract from the
testimony of the General commanding .
the Brigade at. Gettyslastrg',.Suly 214.
(See New .:York Herald.) "About
three qdarters of an hour. after, the,
opening of the enemy's attack on our
division (Ist division, 3d'eorpo which
formed at that time. the extremeleft
of the army, some reinforcements from
the Fifth corps took position in. my
rear—lying dow'il in two lines behind
the centre of my brigade. Sport after,
my attention 'was called to,their fall
ing back; "Where are you going?" I
asked. "We are Ordered toSall back"
answered the officers nearest to me.—
"Fall back ! why there is no necessity
for it," and I explained to theni that' I
had alreadfrepulsed two attempts Of
the enemy to cross a narrow ravine-in
front, whore the Fifth Michigan and
the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsyl
vania of my brigade wo r e holding their
ground unshaken by their terrible kiss
(which soon amounted to ono-half of
their number.) Still the roluforen:
merits from the Fifth• Corps withdrew
without, being engaged, and in a. short,
time they were replaced by - Creeps from
the Second corps which in the most
gallant style advanced through the
wood and relieved my men, when our
ammunition was completely exhaust
ed." • R. DE TROBRIAND,
"Brigadier General Commanding the
3d Brig., Ist-Div., 3d Corps, at Get
tysburg."
The healthof . the regiment is good;
there are a few cases of measels.. The
recruits 'endure camp life, thus . far,
very well. The regiment is filling up
slowly, recruits aro still coining ;we
need many More men. The officers
all, desire a full regiment. Will not
'our friends interest themselves in this
command. Recruits will fare welt.
with us. The officers are gentlemen
and tried soldiers ; the men in the re
giment are soldiers, and treat com
rades with all respeet. • Let every rea
der of.the Globe try to - send us some
recruiti.
The roads arc almoit impassable in
the army and still getting worse. We.
do.not expect, to move for some time,
but may be compelled to go before the
roads are perfectly dry. .
Most respectfully yearn,'

Gen. Meade and the Battle of Get
tyaburg.
General Meade, has submitted a
.
written statement to the War COM
mittee, givingo, detailed account of
the battle of Gettysburg, together
with an explanation of his conduct on
that occasion. His statements aro
corroborated by the testimony of Gen
erals. Hancock, Warren, Gibbons, and
others, and . triumphantly vindicate
him from the accusations made before
the committee by his enemies. Gen
eral Meade denies; in the most . posi
tive manner, the statement that he is
sued, or directed to be issued, an or
der on the-2d of July, or at any time,
ordering a retreat to Taneytown,
which is fourteen miles south of Get
- tysburg. lie says he had: resolved,
froni the first, to hold the -.position,
there, and to fight, the battle which
he knew was impending. He .had no
idea of falling back, as he well knew,
as everybody knows, that a retreat at
that time would hare involved pur
suit by the enemy, and, perhaps, re
sulted in a rout of our army. He de
nips positively ever seeing any such
order; and States that if the order was
written it was without his knowledge
or. authority. • The first intimation he
had of its existence was received:from
General .Gibbons, who told him, ba
the evening of the second ofJuly; that
he had seen it in the hands .of General
Butterfield. He promptly denied its
'authenticity to General Gibbons, at
the, time. The only basis for the ac
cusation on. this point General 'Meade
surmises •is this : Upon 'assuming
command of the army he found liai
son' without a chief of staff acquainted
with the routine of business at head
quarters. He, requested -General But
terfield to retain his position as chief
of staff until the crisis bad passed.. Gen.
Butterfield consented,.and was at once
ordered to survey, the • position, and
make himself acquainted- with- the
'rear lines of communication: This,
Gen.-Meade contends, was what any
prudent. General-would have done un
der the circumstances, and-especially.
since our army had been defeated the
first day, and bad only partially stic
deeded* itkropulsing the attack of the
enemy on the.second clay. Ho declar
ed that the purport of the order he di
rected to be issued was this, and noth
ing more. Gon.Moade also states,
that when ho learned that Gen. Sick
les had become engaged -at Little
Round Top, bo immediately ordered
Gen. Sykes, with the sth Corps, to his
support.. Gen. Gibbons was also-"ex
amined before the committee on Sat
urday, and corroborates Gen.-.Moade's
statements in every particular. ,
