The Army Beady.
We may napect stirring news in a
few days, as it is reported frdm Wash.
jti l itc:n the Army of the Potomao is
ready to move at any moment. Gen.
Giant is in the field with his army,
'and wilFdireot its movements through
'his tried friende, his only hope of sue
'CM. The army is in good trim and
anxious to face the enemy.
What Gen, Grant will not do,
The -clamor- for another forward
raovement by Lee is again raised by
a poition of the Southern press, and
there are reports; probably- without
much foundation, however, that ho is
preparing to undertake another inva
sion of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Referring to this, subject, and
.to what
likely would be the course of General
Grant, the New York Times says
'!Were General Lee to advance at this
time into the Shenandoah valley, and
attempt to take the initiative in
the campaign, we do by no moans be
neve that Lieut. General. Grant would
fail back with' his . whole army to
:Washington and this side of the Foto
'mac; but perhaps Lee would quickly
"find an. enemy in his rear, his commu
nications cut, and Richmond besieged
and unapproachable."
It is not wholly a matter of conjec
ture that General Grant would not re
gret to see Lee undertake such a
movement, and the suggestion of the
Times as t 6 vaiht would be his tactics
in such an event, we have reason to
believe reflects his settled .purpose,
should it occur. Nothing is more cer
tain than that in such a cese General
Grant Would not act on the defensive,
but, by taking the offensive at once,
.make the invasion movement quite a
diffbrint thing from the two previous
ones.
GP?. GRANT GETS THE SWORD.-A
sword veined at one thousand dollars,
was placed on exhibition at the New
York State Sanitary Fair, and it was
understood that the General receiving
the 'septa vote during the fair was to
receive the sword. Every person vo
ting bad to pay into the funds of the
fair one dollar, or one dollar for every
vote to be counted. Some gentlemen
voted to the amount of $100; and a
number of ladies voted $25. and $5O.
The contest was between the friends
of McClellan and Grant, and at the
close of the fair on Saturday last, Gon.
Grant was 15,782 ahead of McClellan,
and of course will receive the sword.

Prophetic Foresight of Douglas.
In a recent speech in the Ilona° of
Representatives, Mr. Arnold, of Illi
nois, made • these interesting state
ments:
Here I will pause a moment to state
a most refils.rltable prediction made
by Douglas in January, 1861. The
statement is furnished to me by Gen
eral C. B. Steward, of Now York, a
gentleman of the highest respectabili
ty. Douglas was asked by General
Stewart, (who was making a New
Year's call on Mr. Douglas,) 'What
will be the result of the efforts of Jef
ferson Davis and his associates to di
vide the Union?' Douglas replied :
'The Cotton States are making an ef
fort to draw in the border States to
their schemes of Secession, and I am
too fearful they will succeed. If they
do succeed there will be the most ter
rible civil war the world has ever
seen ; for years. Virginia will become
a charnel house; but the end will be
the triumph of the Union cause. Ono
of their first efforts will be to take
possession of this capital to give them
prestige abroad, but they will never
succeed in taking it; the North will
rise en masse to defend it; but it will
become a city of hospitals the church
es will be used for the sick and woun
ded, and oven the Minnesota block
(now the Douglas Hospital) may be
devoted to that purpose before the
end of the war.' Geu. Stewart inqui
red, 'What justification is there for all
this?' Douglas replied, 'There is no
jtafieation, nor any pretence of any.
If they will remain in the Union I
will go as far as the Constitution will
permit to maintain their just rights,
and Ido not doubt but a majority of
Congress will do the same. But; said
he, rising on his feet, and extending
his arm, 'lf the Southern States at
tempt to secede from the Union with
out further cause, I am in favor of
their having just so many slaves, and
just so much slave territory as they
can hold.at the point of the bayonet,
and no more I'

How PRICES ARE RAISED.—A cot
emporary remarks with much truth
that Congress proposes a duty on
cotton of two cents a pound, where
upon all the retail dealers in spool cot
ton propose to advance the price one
cent upon each spool. Now, as a
pound of raw cotton . will make over
one hundred spools of sewing cotton,
it is not easy to appreciate the justice
of this large advance in the price of a
very necessary and important article
in daily use. But, while it is not easy
to appreciate this fact, it is but char
acteristic of the advance in prices up
on two-thirds of the'artioles in daily
use. Just hint at a - tax of any kind
and forthwith the price is put up to
20, 30; 50 and 100 per cent. The rule
is to put the price when tho tax is pro
posed, and once more when it is passed.
And if the duty fails, the price is kept
up.
.RIGHTS.—It is supreme folly to talk
of the "Constitutional rights" of the
rebels. They have no rights; except
to have their property confiscated and
their peeks elongated with a hempen
cord. All else they taro forfeited.
Extended Account of the Fort Pillow
Massacre.
[Comer cadence of the Mlceourl Democrat.)
CAIRO, April 14.—Under this date
the following story is given on testi
mony of three wounded: blacks taken
on board the boat for Cairo from a
flatboat, into which they had escaped
from Fort Pillow:
The Assault and Capture of the Fort.
We have gleaned the facts of the
fight from authentic sources, and they
may be relied upon as truthful. The
rebels, under Forrest, appeared and
drove in the pickets about sunrise on
Tuesday morning. The garrison of
the fort consisted of about two hun
dred of the 13th Tennessee volunteers
and four hundred negro artillery, all
under command of Major Booth ; the
gunboat No. 7 was also ;in the river.
The rebels first attacked the two out.
er forts, and in several attempts to
charge were repulsed. They were
constantly reinforced, and extended
their lines to the river on both sides
of the fort. The garrison in the two
outer forts were at length overpower
ed by superior numbers, and about
noon evacuated them and retired to
the fort on the river. Here the fight
was maintained with great obstinacy,
and continued till about four P. M.
The approach to the fort from the
river is over a gentle declivity, clear
ed and fully exposed to a raking fire : 1
from two sides of the fort. About 30
yards from the fort is a deep ravine,
running all along the front, and so
steep at the bottom as to be hidden
from the fort, and not commanded by
its, guns. The rebels charged with
great boldness down the declivity, and
faced without blenching a murderous
fire from the-guns and small arms of
the fort, and crowded into the ravine,
where they were sheltered from fire
by the steep bank which had been
thus loft by some unaccountable ne
glect or ignorance. Hero the rebels
organized for a final charge upon the
fort, after sending a flag of truce with
a demand to surrender, which was re
fused. The approach from the ravine
was -up through a deep; narrow gully,
and the steep embankments of the fort
The last charge was made about four
P: M., by the whole rebel force, and
was successful, after a most desperate
and gallant defence.
The rebel army was estimated at
from 2,000 to 4,000, and succeeded by
inuo tQrco Otriumbvia. The. gunboat
had not been idle, but, -guided by. sig
nals:from-the fort ; poured: upon the
•rebelea constant stream of Shot . and
shell.- -She fired 260 shells, and, as tes
tified to by those who could sea - with
marvelons:precision and , fatal - effect;
Major booth; Who.Wackilled near the
close of the .fight","'cotiducted the *de.:
fence with:7great coolness, skill; . : and
gallantry. His last signal to the-beat
was 'We are hard pressed and shall be
overpowered.' Ho refused to surren
der, however, and fought to the last.
By the uniform and voluntary testi
mony of the rebel officers, as well as
the survivors of the fight, the negro
artillery regiments fought with the
bravery and coolness of veterans, and
served the guns with skill and precis
ion. They did not falter or flinch un
til the last charge, when it was evi
dent that they world bo overpoWer
ed, and they broke and fled toward
the river: Here commenced the most
barbarous and 'cruel outrages that ev
en tho fiendiShness of Abe rebels has
perpetrated during the war.
Rebel Atrocities
After the rebels were in undisputed
possession of the fort and. the survi
vors had surrendered, they commen
ced the indiscriminate butchery of all
the Federal soldiery.. Tho colored sol
diers threw down their guns and. rais
ed their arms in token of surrender,
but not the least attention was paid to
it. They continued to' shoot down all
they found. A number of them. find
ing no quarter was given - ,. ran. ..over
the bluff to.tho river, and trying to
conceal themselves under, the bank
and in the Wishes, were pursued by
the.rebel savages,'and implored them
to spare their • lives. Their appeals
were Made in vain, and they wore all
shot down in cold blood and in full
sight of the gunbciat; chased and shot
them down as they would dogs. I
passed up the bank of the river and
counted fifty dead strewn along. One
had crawled into a hollow log and was
killed in it, another had got over the
bank in the river, and got to a board
that ran out into the water. Ho lay
on it on his face, with his foot in the
water. He laid there when exposed
stark and stiff. Several had tried to
hide in crevices made by the falling
bank, and could not be seen without
difficulty, but they were singled out
and killed.
From the best information I could
get, the white soldiers were, to a very
considerable extent, treated in the
same way. One of the 13th Tennes
see on board—D. W. Harrison—in
forms me that after the surrender he
was below the bluff, and ono of the
rebels presented a pistol to shoot him.
He told him he had surrendered, and
requested him not to fire. He spared
him, and directed •him to go up the
bluff to the fort. Harrison asked him
to go before him, or he would be shot
by others, but ho told him to go al
ong. Ho started, and had not procee
ded far before ho met a rebel who pre
sented his pistol. Harrison begged
him not to fire, but paying no atten
tion to his request, he fired and shot
him through the shoulder, and anoth
er shot him in the leg. e fell, and
while ho lay unable to move, another
came along and was about to fire a
gain, when Harrison told him he was
badly wounded twee, and implored
him not to fire. Ho asked .Harrison
if he had any money. He said he bad
a little money and a watch. The rob
el took from him his watch and nine
ty dollars in money, and left him.
Harrison is probably fatally wounded.
Several such cases have been related
to me, and I think, to ,a great extent,
the whites and negroes wore indiscrim
inately murdered. Tho rebel Tennes
seans have about the same bitterness
against Tennesseans in the Federal ar
my, as against the nogroes. I was
told by a rebel officer that General
Forrest shot one of his men, and cut
another with his sabre who were shoot
ing down prisoners. It may be so,
but he is responsible for the conduct
of his men, and Gen. Chalmers stated
publicly while on the Platte Valley,
that though he did not encourage or
countenance his men in shooting down
negro captives,•yet that it was right
and justifiable. .
Incidents of the Fight
The iiegro corporal, Jacob Wilson,
whom we picked up below the Port
Pillow, had a narrow escape. He was
down on the river bank, and seeing
that no quarter--was shown, stepped
into the water so that he lay partly
under it. A rebel coming along asked
him what was the matter; he said he
was badly wounded, and the rebel,
after taking from his pocket all the
money he had left him. •It happened
to be near a flat boat tied to the bank,
and about 3 o'clock-in the morning,
when all was quiet, Wilson crawled
into, it, and got three more wounded
comrades in it, and cut loose. ..The
boat floated out into the channel, and
we found it ashore some miles below.
The wounded negro soldiers we have
aboard feigned themselves dead until
we came along. Capt. Young, 24th
Missouri, provost marshal at the fort,
was captured, and was put on his pa
role. He was at the boat, and while
there the Lady Pike, from St. Louis,
came up with his wife aboard. He
was allowed to, go into the boat to see
her, and then returned to his captors.
Major Bradford was also captured. and
at large on his parole. The rebel offi
cers denounce him for breaking . his
parole, and say during Tuesday night
he escaped. It is believed that the
rebels killed him, and that the charge
of breaking his parole was a mere pre
tence to conceal his murder.
Captain Lindsay, rebel officer, to
whom I am indebted for courteous at
tention, admitted to me that General
Forrest was slightly wounded, and
had a horse killed undedlim, but an•
other rebel officer informed a friend of
his, who was on the boat with us, that
General F. was twice wounded, and
badly, by the bursting of a shell. -
The rebels claim to have bad only
ton killed, and thirty wounded, but
Captain Young, who had been to their
camp, says that they have two hospi
tal well filled, and he thinks their kill
ed and woundedexceed ours.
• When t visited the fort, the guns
had Al been taken away. The. huts
scattered around liad been mostly
burneilup. In one of these were bo
dies of colored soldiers partly burned
but whether or not by design I cannot
state. -
Dr: Fitch; surgeon of the fort, was
taken prlsermr, but.through the influ
ence of sonic rebel surgeons was relea
sed on his.parole, and came up with
us. He confirms; by his own observa
tion, the-butchery of our soldiers by
the rebels . . • Hp informed me thdt af
ter the . ..fort • was taken, the soldiers
ran.doWn the bluff to. the river; throw
ing-away their guns, holding up their
hands, arid crying - _ out that . they stir

fire on theni - • from the: bluff without
the leaktilnard to thoir..erieS.
Dr. Mt:oh : says ho sa* twenty white
soldiers paraded in line on the bank of
the river, and' when in lino the rebels
fired upon and killed all but one, who
ran to the river and hid under a log,
and in :that condition was fired at a
number9f times and wounded. He
says MAjor 1314c1ford ran down to the
river, and, after be told them ho had
surrendered, more than fifty shots
wore fired at him. Ho then jumped
into the river. .and' swam out a little

considerable remark. that Captain

Resietanee to the Government in 1799
In I.799'the UnitedStates'direet tax
was to be levied; thiti taxlrad been
fiercely
_inveighed . against as 'an evi
dence of the monarchical and despotic
tendencies of the inen,then. in power.
The opposition became so. strong, that
'Washington from his retirement wrote
to Patriclr'lleirry entreating him to
offer as a candidate, if- not for Con
gress, at least for the Virginia Assem
bly. In his letter he said; "It would
be a wake- Oftime to attempt to bring
to the view of-a person of your obser
vation and discernment the:endeavors
ofa certain party among us to disquiet
the public mind with unfounded alarms
—to arraign every act of the Admin
istration, to set the people at variance
with their government, and to embar
rass till its measures. Equally useless
would it be to predict what must be
the inevitable Consequences of such a
policyif it cannot be arrested.." Fur
ther on ho. continues, "It has been
said, that the great mass of the citizens
of this State (Virginia) are well affect
ed, notwithstanding, to the general
government `and the Union; I am wil
ling-to believe it; but how is this to be
reconciled with their choice of repre
sentatives both to Congress and their
State Legislature, who aro opposed to
the general government, and who by
the tendenc3r of their measures would
destroy the Union r Again and - fur
ther on, "But at such a crisis as this,
when everything dear and valuable to
us is assailed, when this party hangs
upon, the wheels of Government as a
dead weight, opposing every measure
that is calculated for defence and self
preservation,n&c.; when all the acts of
their own government are tortured,
by constructions they will not bear,
into attempts to infringe and trample
on the Constitution with a view to in
troduce monarchy, gra.; when measures
are systematically and pertinaciously
pursued, which must eventually dis
solve the Union or produce coercion, I
say when these things have beconie so
obvious, ought characters who aro best
able to rescue their country from the
Pending evil, to remain at home? Ra
ther, ought they not to come forward,
and, by their talents and influence
stand in the breach which such con
duct has made on the peace and happi
ness of this country, and oppose the
widening of it ?"
These assaults froth political oppo
nents, to which Washington referred,
soon produced their "inevitable conse
quences" In Pennsylvania part of
the inhabitants arose in arths, and
compelled the agents of the United
States Government to desiiit from the
performance Of their duty. The Pres
ident immediately issued a proclama
tion demanding submission to the laws.

"If, as is alleged, the present Ad

wisdom and genius, equal to a great
emergency, can its opponents hope
to change it by treasonable organiza

"Soon after the election of 1862,

the Governor of the Enipire State, and
the representative men of the Domo
cratio party," Gov. Seymour had the
power to render - great public service;
and that, if he exerted that powor
against the rebellion, and for his coun
try, ho would be our, next President.
I think Mr. Lincoln authorized mo to
say so, for him, to Gov. Seymour. At
any rate, I did repeat the conversation
to him. BUt tho gentleman's procliv

Seymour made his bed with Vallan

CHOICE OF DEATH.--A singular law
exists in Utah Territory, granting to
criminals under capital sentence a
choice of death. They may elect to
be hanged; to be shot, or to be behea

who was executed at Salt Lake on the
11th ultimo, for the murder of Samuel
Runton, the prisoner declined, at the
time of sentence, to make any choice,
so th . e, presidingjudge bad himself to
determine the mode of execution. He
ordered him to be shot, and at the
hour appointed ho was taken to the

ning of the 23d ult. Proceeded from
the above named place to Hagerstown,
Md., by railroad; from there we went
to Williamsport, on foot, (as we had
not received our horses), which was
rather a novel mode of marching, to us,'
as we had been used to riding. . How
ever, all bore up finely. Halted for.,
the night, cooked supper, and at a late
hour throw , Ouraelves on the ground,
with-the broad canopy of Heaven ser
ving as a cover. Tho next • day we
proceeded fo Martiniburg,.,7a., our
intended destination; getting , there
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, tired,
footsore, and weary. Our stay.thore,
however, Win, but cif short ddration,
as we soon received orders to report at.
this place '
• consequently, on the morn
ing of the Bth instant we fell into lino
again at 7 o'clock, and marched froin
camp to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
where there was•a train ready, as we
thought, to 'transport us to Cumber
land. But for • some unaccountable
reason, we were kept there until 21
o'clock, when, after a great many vex
atious delays, .the giant locomotive
gave aloud shriek, as if impatient to
move, and 'soon we were coursing
along at a rapid rate, leaving Martins ,
burg far behind us Arrived here 11
o'clock, P M.. Slept in the cars, and
next morning about 8 o'clock A
.M,
marched out to camp, a short distance
from town. We are now very pleas
antly encamped on the banks of
Creek, overlooking Cumberland and
the surrounding country." Have a
very pretty view for miles around.
We are brigaded with , the 20th
Penna. Cavalry, which is lying a short
distance from us. Colonel Wynkoop,
acting Brigadier Goneral,judging from
his external appearance, will make a
good officer. Jacob Higgins, a native
from Blair county, Pa., is our Colonel.
He is a good man, and, as an officer,
is well thought of by the men. compo
sing the Regiment. . Our company is
commanded by Captain John H. Bor
ing; John Wiser, a native of Cumber
land county, Pa., Ist Lieut., and Wil
bur F. Sharrer, a_ native of Fulton
county, Pa., 2nd -14ieut. By their
kind disposition, gentlemanlY deport
ment, and extreme affability of man
ners, they have completely won the
confidence. and esteern of the entire
company. . LYOURGUS,
