SLIGHTLY IN A is amusing
to read the so-called. Democratic pa
pers at the present time. Pick up one
and you will find that it is for a vigor
_ous prosecution of the war under any
other man than Abe Lincoln. Anoth
er is for McClellan and opposed to a
war platform. • Another will not sup
port any candidate upon a war plat
:form. ' Another thinks the "Democra
cy'? could swallow Fremont's aboli
tionism and unite upon him as the
,Demoeratie candidate. Another is for
_voting for an electeral.ticket without
expressing a preference for the Presi
. dency. Another is for anybody for
President—for the strongest man in
.opposition to . Lincoln—for anything
:or anybody, so that the outs can got
in. To get in is what the rebel syrn
•pathisers are after, and they will not
-hesitate to stoop very•low to get in
; position. •It matters little how low
they try to - get, and we think it will
beimpossible for them to got much
rower than they are—meaner and
more contemptible than the rebels in
arms.

16,.. President Lincoln and wife vis
ited the Sanitary Fair in Philadelphia
on Thursday, the 16t1kinst. He had
it warm reception.
Speeoh-of Gov. Johnson at ashville,
A Union mass meeting was held at
Nashville on Friday night, at which
Governor Johnson was the principal
speaker. We_ find the following re
port*in the Nashville Times:
The appearance. of Governor John-1
son on the steps of the St. Cloud Ito-
tel was greeted by the vast crowd
with loud applause. All were anx
ious to bear and see the next Vice
President of the United States.
After thanking the assembly for
the compliment they had bestowed on
him, and albw other preliminary re
marks, Governor Johnson proceeded
to say that we are engaged in a great
struggle foriree government — in the
proper acceptation of the term;
*So far as the head of the ticket is
concerned, the Baltimore' Convention
has said, not only to the United States
but to all the nations of the earth,
that we aro determined . to maintain
and carry out the principles of free
government. [Applause.] That Con
vention announced and confirmed a
principle not to be disregarded. It
was that the right of secession, and
the power of a State to place itself out
of the Union, are not recognized. The
Convention had declared this princi
ple by its action. Tennessee Lad been.
in rebellion against the - .Government,
and waged a treasonable war against
'its authority just as other Southern
States had done. She had seceded
just as much as other States had, and
left the Union as far as she had the
power to do so. Nevertheless, the
National Convention - had declared
that 'a State cannot put itself from un
•der the national authority. It, said
by its first nomination that the pres
ent President, take him altogether,
was the man to steer fhb ship of State
for the next four years. [Loud ap
plause ] Next it said---if I may be
permitted to speak of Myself, not in
the way of vanity, but to illustrate a
principle—"We will go into one of the
rebellious States and choose a candi
date for the Vice Presidency." Thus
the Union party declared its belief
that the rebellious States aro still in
the Union, and that their loyal cid
zone are still citizens of the United
States. And now there is but ono
great work for us to do, that is to put
down the rebellion. Our dutY - to
sustain the Government and help it
with all our might to crush out a re
bellion which is in violation of all that
is right and sacred.
Governor Johnson said ho had no
impassioned appeal to make to the
people in his own behalf. Ile had not
sought the position assigned him by
the National Convention. Not a man
in all the laid can truthfully say that
I have asked him to use his influence
in my behalf in that body, for the po
sition allotted to me, or for any other.
On the contrary, I have avoided the
candidacy. But while I have not
sought it, still being Conferred upon
me unsought,J. appreciate it the more
:highly. Being conferred on me with
out solicitation, I shall not decline it.
[Applause.] Come weal or woo, suc
cess or defeat, sink or swim survive
or perish, I accept the nomination, on
principle, be the consequence
_what
they may. I will do What I believe
to be my duty. I 'know there are
these here who profess to feel a con
tempt for me, and I, on the other hand
feel my superiority to them. I have
always understood that there is a sort
of exclusive aristocracy about Nash
ville which affects to contemn all who
are not within its little circle, Let
them enjoy their, opinions. I have
heard it said that,
' "Worth makes tho man, and want of it, the follow."
This aristocracy has been the bane
of the slaVe States, nor.has the North
been wholly free from its curse It is
a class which I have always forced to
respect me, for I have over set it at
defiance. The respect of the honest
intelligent and industrious class I have
endeavored to win by my conduct as
a man. One of the chief elements of
this rebellion is the opposition 'of the
slave aristocracy to being ruled by
men who have risen from the ranks
of the people, This aristocracy hated
Mr. Lincoln, because he was of 'hum
ble origin, a rail-splitter in early life.
One of them, the private secretary of
Howell Cobb, said to me one day; af
ter a long conversation, "We people
of the South will not submit to be go•
verned by a man who has come up
from the ranks of-the common people,
as Abe Lincoln has." He uttered the
essential feeling and Spirit of this Sou
thern rebellion. Now, it has just oc
curred to me, if this aristocracy' is so
violently'opposed to being governed
by Mr. Lincoln, what in the name of
conscience will I do with Lincoln and
Johnson? [Great laughter.] I re
ject With scorn this whole idea of an
arrogant aristocracy. I believe that
man is capable of' self-government, ir
respective of his outward circumStan
cos, and'whether he be a laborer, a
shoemaker, a tailor, or a grocer. The
question is whether man is capable of
self-government. I hold with Jeffer
son, that government was made for
the convenience of man, and not than
for the governMent. , That laws and
constitutions were designed as mere
ifistrumenta to'promote his welfare.
And hence, from this principle, I con
elude that governments can and ought
to be changed and amended to con
form to the 'wants, to the reqiiirements
and progress of this people, anti the
enlightened spirit of the ago. [Loud
applause.] Noiv, if any of your Se-
cessionists haVe lost faith in man's ca-'
pability of self goVernment, and feel I
unfit for the exercise of this great
right, go straight to rebeldom, take I
Jeff Dads, Beauregard, and Braggfor '
your masters, and put their collars on i
your neckS: ," • ' • ' • '• • .
And here let me say that now is the
time to recur* to these fundamental
principles, while the land is rent with
anarchy and upheaves, with the throes
of a mighty revolution. While soci
ety is in this disordered state, and we
are seeking security, lotus . • fix the
foundations of the Government on,
Trinciples of eternal justice 'which will
endure for all tune. There ha an ele
ment in our niiifst Who'are for perpet
uatitig the instant:l9n of slavery: - Let'
me say to you,'J~entiesseatis and men
from the Nortli - ein States, that slavery
is dead. It was not miirdere'd by me.
I told you long ago what . * the result
would be if you endeavored to go out
of the Union to save slavery, and that
the result would be bloodshed, rapine,
devastated fields, ~plundered
and cities; and therefore I urged you
-STEPUEN
to remain in the Union. In tryino
save slavery ybu killed it and lost yMir
own freedom. Your slavery is dead,
but I did not murder it. As Macbeth
said to Banquo'e bloody ghost,
Netts. ,tato thy gory locks ot
Thou canet not say I did it.
Slavery is dead, and you must par
don me if I do riot mourn over its dead
body; you unn bury it out of sight. In
restoring the State, leave out that dis
turbing• and dangerous element, and
,use only , those parts of the machinery
which will move in harmony.
Now, in regard to emancipation, I
want to say to the blacks that liberty
means liberty to work and enjoy the
fruits of your labor. Idleness is not
freedom. I desire that all men shall:
have a fair start and an equal chance
in the race of life, and let him succeed
who has. the most merit. This, I
think, is a principle of heaven. lam
for emancipation for two reasons, first
because it is right in itself, and second
because in the • etuaneipation of the
slaves, wo break down an odious and
dangerous aristocracy. I think that
we are freeing more Whites than
blacks in Tennessee. I want to see
slavery broken up, and when its bar
riers are; thrown down, I want to see
industrious, thrifty. emigrants pouring
in from all parts of the country. Come
on ! We need your labor, your skill;
your capital. Wo want .your enter
' prise and invention, so that hereafter
Tennessee may rank with New Eng
land in the arts and mechanics, and
that when we visit the Patent Office,
at Washington, where the it:igenions
mechanic° of the free States have pla
ced their models, wo need not blush
that Tennessee can show nothing but
a Mousetrap; or something of about as
much importance. Come on I We
greet you with a hearty welcome to
the soil of Tennessee. Here, is soil the
most fertile in every agricultural pro
duct ; a delightful and healthy climate
forests, water-power, and mines of in
exhaustible richness; come and help
us redeem Tennessee, and make her
a powerful and flourishing State..
.
But in calling a convention to re
store tho State, who shall restore and
re-establish it? Shall the man who
gave his influence and his means to
destroy the Government? IS he to
participate ia the great Work of reor
ganization ? Shall he who brought
this misery upon the State be permit
ted to control its destinies. Hillis be
so, then all this precious blood of our
brave soldiers and officers, so freely
poured out, will have been wantonly
spilled. All the glorious victories won
by our noble armies will go for nought
and all the battle fields which have
been sown with dead heroes during
this rebellion will have been made
memorable in vain. Why all this car
nage and devastation 7 It .was that
treason might be put down anddrai
tors punished. Therefore I say that
traitors should take a back seat in the
work of restoration. If' there be but
five thou Sand men in Tennessee loyal
to the Constitution, loyal to freedom,
loyal to justice, these true and faithful;
mon should control the:Work of reor4
ganization and reformiition absolutely:
[Loud and prolonged applause.] I say
that the traitor has ceased to be a eit-:
_izen and in' 'joining the robellion•has
ecorno z pu a - enemy. lie forfeited
his right to vote with loyal men when
he renounced his citizenship and
sought to destroy our Government.—
We say to the most honest and indus
trious foreigner who comes from
land or Germany to dwell among us•
and to add to the wealth of the coup,
try, "Before you can be a citizen you
must stay here for five years." If we
are so cautious about foreigners, who
voluntarily renounce their homes to
live with us, what should %re say to
the traitor, who, although born and
roared among us, has raised a parrici
dal hand against the 'Government
which always protected him My
judgment is, that be should be subjec
ted to a severe ordeal before he is re•
stored to citizenship. A fellow who
takes the - oath merely to save his pro
perty, and doilies tho validity of the
oath, is a perjured man, and not to be
trusted.. Beforethese repenting reb
els can be trusted, let them bring forth
the fruits of repentance. Ho who
helped to make all these widows and
orphans who drape the streets of Nash
ville in mourning, should suffer for his
great crime. The work is in our own
hands Wo can destroy this rebellion,
With Grant thundering on the Poto
mac, before Richmond, and Sherman
and Thomas on their march toward
Atlanta, the day will ore long be ours.
Will any madly .persist in rebellion ?
Suppose that equal number be slain
in every battle, it is. plain that the re
sult must be the utter extermination
of the rebels. Ah, these rebel leaders
have a strong personal reason for hol.
ding out to save their necks from the
halter. And these leaders must feel
the power of the Government. Trea
son must be made odious, and traitors
must be punished and impoverished.—
Their great plantations must he seized
and divided into small farms, and sold
to honest, industrious men. The day
for protecting the lands and negroes
of these authors of rebellion is past.—
It is high time it was. I have been
most deeply pained at some things
which have come under my observe
tion. Wo get men in command who
under the influence of flattery, fawn
ing and caressing, grant protection to
the rich traitor, while the poor Union
man.stands out in the cold, often una
ble to got a receipt or voucher for his
losses. [Cries of ''That's so!" from all
parts of the crowd.)' The traitor can
get lucrative contracts, while the loyal
man is pushed aside, unable to obtain
a recognition of his just claims. I am
telling, the truth. I care nothing for
stripes and shoulder straps. I want
them all to hear . what I say. I have
been on a gridiron for two years- at
the sight of these abuses. I blame not
the Government for these wrongs;
which are the work of weak or faith
less subordinates. Wrongs will be
committed andel , every. form of gov
ernment and every administration.—
For myself I mean to stand by the
Government till the flag of the Union
shall wave over every city, town, hill
top, and cross roads, in its full power
and majesty. The nations of Eurve
aro anxious for our overthrow. France
takes advantage of our internal diffi
culties 'and seeds. Maximilian off to
Mexico to set up a monarchy on our
'borders. The day of reckoning is ap
proaching. The time is not far dis
tant when the rebellion will be put
down, and then we will attend to this
Mexican affair, and say to Louis Na
poleon, "Ton can set ;up no monarchy
on this continent," IGretit applause.]
An expedition in to "Abide() would be a
sort of recreation to the bred fkildiers
who aro now fighting the battlas.of the
Union, aiiii the Branch concern Would
quickly be wiped out. fiat US be uni
ted. I know that there are but two
parties now, one for the country, and
the other against it, and I am for my
country.
I am a Democrat in the strictest
meaning of the term. I am for this
Government, because it is democratic
government of the people. I am
for putting down this rebellion, be
cause it is war against democracy.— I
He who stands off stirring up discon- I
tent in this State and higgling about
negroes, is practically in the rebel
camp, and encourages 'treason. He
who in • Indiana or Ohio makes .war
upon the Government out of regard to
slavery is just as bad. The salvation
of the country is now the only busi
ness which concerns the patriot.
In conclusion, let us give our thanks
not formal, but heartfelt thanks, to
those gallant officers and soldiers who
have come to our rescue, and deliver
ed us froth the rebellion, And though
money be expended,- though life be
lost; though towns and ,cities be deso
lated; let the war for the Union go on,
and the:stars and stripes be bathed, if
need be, in a nation's blood, till law
be restored, and freedom firmly estab

and continued cheering, and the largo

notice was given that non combatants
might be removed, and thus women

Gen Beaurcgard, in a communication

That the women and children have

I must, however, protest against your
action in thus placing defenceless pris

act of cruelty, and can be designed
only to prevent the continuance ofour

THE WAR IN VIRGINIA.
READ (in's., ARMY OF THE POTOMAC ;
June 23.
Tho attack upon the 2nd Corps on
Wednesday, near the Weldon Railroad,
did not result so disasterously as was
at first supposed.
Tho line was formed by Barlow's
division being on the left; Birncy's
[Gen. Mott in command] on the cen
tre, and Gibbon's on the right.
It was expected that the 6th corps
Would haVe connected on the loft with
Barlow, but it seems quite a gap was
left, into which A: P. Hill's corps en
tered,,and before our men were aware
of it they received a volley from the
rear which created a panic in the
ranks and caused a rapid retreat to
the woods in the rear of the 3d div.
This left tlid flank of thd•gd Division
unprotected and the enemy, taken ad
vantake of it, charged through and
fairly into the pitri, ordering our men
to surrender.
The troops, however, left the trench
es arid fell back rapidly, but many of
them were captured and quite a num
ber killed and wounded.
Our loss in prisoners is reported at
1000, rhilo Cottle make the figure
higher.—Our loss in killed and wound
ed is probably 1,500.
Four officers engaged in this fight
had just joined their commands after
being exchanged, and when surround
ed and ordered to surrender, replied,
"never, death rather than Libby," and
fighting their way as host they could,
several of them got back safe.
. At 8 r. m. a charge was made by the
2d Corps, and the line of works from
which they had been forced in the af
ternoon recovered. We lost scarcely
a man in this advance, as the enemy
fired too.higb, and the balls all passed
over the heads of our men. A nuni
boy of prisoners were taken
Skirmishing was kept up all night
along the lino, the pickets being not
fifty yards apart. At day light this
morning an advance of the entire line
was made, when it was found the ene
my had takenl a new position some dis
tance further back, where they had
thrown up strong entrenchmente du
ring the night, which they still held.
The rbels in and around _Richmond
are, therefore, restricted to the use
of the Danville railroad, of,thedestrtic,
.tion of a part of which by Ruttier we
may hear at any moment. That rail
road is of different broad guage from
all other Virginia railroads, and, there
fore, no machinery adapted to them
can bo used upon it.
In a word, Grant,. by his move
south.of the James, has cut Leo's rail
communications in all directions, ex
cept via. Danville,
.which, as yet, are
incomplete and cannot be available
for the receipt of supplies for his army
from any considerable region of coun
try. In achieving this important re
sult ho has placed Lee in a situation
in which he must not long hence come
out from behind his fortifications and
risk a battlo on a fair field or abandon
Richmond and Petersburg.
Washington, Friday June 24.—Gen
Grant's army occupies positions in Pi
ney woods, upon the outskirts of .Pe
tersburg, which were not long since
in the possession of the rebels, includ
ing all their works on the south side
of the Appomattox river, constructed
previous to the arrival of the advance
of our army to those points.
These positions entirely command .
the. town of Petersburg and the rail
road communication through Peters
barn•—the only one between Richmond
aneWeldon—the town being also com•
thanded by the enemy's works on the
north side of the river, and, therefore
not to be occupied by us so long as
those works remain in the hands of
the rebels.
For all practical purposes our guns
stop all continuous communications
by rail between Richmond add points
south of Petersburg.
Gen Butler has effectually destroy
ed about three miles of the , road be
tween Petersburg and Richmond,
-twisting the rails so that they must
131.1 T b,afgro they can
be again used, which they aro not do
ing. now,
ho long as Gen Grant elects be can
hold the enemy,thus by the throat at
Petersburg,. his camps being perfectly
healthy, with, good and abundant wa
ter for the use of his men, and entirely
secure communication with his base
of supplies at City Point. From his
present position ho can move at will
toward the south, with, say twenty
days' supplies, compelling Lee to fol
low him and risk heavy engagements,
on- unfortified ground, as ho must if
possible prevent the eventual total de
struction of his rail communication
with Weldon.•
On the north side of the James riv
er, Hunter and Sheridan have effected
reshlts of immense importance upon
their bearing upon the campaign, hav
ing effectually destroyed all Lee's rail.
road communications north, the rail
rood to Lynchburg and the Virginia
Central Railroad. He cannot again
make them available thiS season.—
They have also consumed and destroy
ed all the supplies • remaining in Vir
giniafn the valley between the two
Annas and Washington city, which ;
together with the destruction of the
railroads last, referred to, renders it
impossible for Lee to send any respec
table force northward.
Wo have the authority of Assistant
Secretary Dana, who arrived last
night direct from Gen. Grant's head
quarters, stating that up to the mo
ment he left there on NV adnesclay, our
entire loss in killed, wounded and tide.
sing since crossing the James has not
been more than 10,000, while there is
little reason to doubt that the loss of
the Rebels has been proportionately
as great as ours.
The tenor of information froM the
frost is that the army is in excellent
spirits, and that everything looks
hopeful. The greatest drawback ex- .
porienced by our bravo boys is five
the heat and the dust, which is said to
be beyond all their past oxperionces
in oppressiveness.
The President returned yesterday
from his visit to the front, satisfied
with the condition of things; and con
firmed in his confidence in Grant's ex
traordinary qualities as a commander.
Mr. Lincoln was accompanied by Capt
Fox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
and Col. Chadwick ) of Willard's Ho
tel, who acted ' as chief caterer of the
Presidential party. Ile was received
at City Point by Gen. Grant, and con
ducted to the Lieutenant General's
headquarters. After partaking of re
freshments, the President and Capt.
Fox accompanied Gen. Grant to the

Hunter's command, which, having ful
filled the mission upon which it was 4—,
the destruction of the Central railroad
in the vicinity of Stanton, and of the
Gordonsville and Lynchburg railroad,
and an important po'rtion of the James

Hunter was ordered to make for, after
having done the work in the valley
assigned to him. His losses have been
smaller than was anticipated when he

We take it for granted that ho was
operating in the immediate vicinity of
