With the rebels, for the last two months, it has been a succession of, de feats, retreats, and losses of everything that is .valuable in war. Gen. M’Clellan is now dose upon the enemy, and will soon, wo doubt not, bring his Bravo troops “face to face with the rebels,” and administer “the death-blow to the rebellion." So.mote it bo. Wo believe a decisive battle by the army of the Potomac—a real, old, fashioned victory r—'will end ttys unfortunate and wicked con test. After tbgt nothing will, bo deft of reb cldom but a few straggling guerillas, who, as fast as caught should bo, and no doubt will bo, compelled to stretch hemp. Let the good work go on then; “push on the column,” un til every armed traitor is subdued, and the ,quicker the better.

From the hour it was ascertained tliat war with the'South was inevitable, the Democrats of'the North- gave their united influence to the Government. The army, at this hour contains ft: largo majority of those who had workedagainst Mr. Lincoln and voted against him. Nearly all the prominent officers at the head of bur legions are Democrats. Two Democratic Governors equipped two regi ments at their Own expense, and, at the head of those regiments, led them into battle. No Republican Governor was found thus sac rificing his means and his comfort. The part taken by Democrats,-too, was not a sel fish or sordid part. They had no hope of pe cuniary reward; they were not advocates of war because fat contracts were to bo given out, and-a full licence to,rob .the Government permitted by those high in authority, No I Democrats knew that the money-making part of the war was, by understanding,, reserved for the exclusive benefit of the friends of the Administration. Democrats gave their means, their influence and themselves to the Govern ment, because they considered "it their duty to do so—because they desired to put,down the rebellion with a strong and powerful hand. Had it not been for the self-sacrifi cing spirit evinced at the outset of our diffi culties by the Democratic party, Washington, in all probability, would have been seized by the rebels, and Mr. Lincoln and bis Cabinet made, prisoners and sent, to ChaHeston. Re publicans and Democrats vied with each other to save the Capitol, end by their joint efforts they succeeded, Such being the feats, lot us see with what spirit the services of the Democratic party has been received by remorseless, bigoted and intolerant Republican leaders. ' John W. Forney, who has made his hundreds of thou sands out of the war stealings, is regarded the head and front of the Rcpublicau party in this State. Hear what ho says, of the Democratic party: “ Let.us always remember that the triumph of the Dethdcraiic organisation under its pres- ■ .pit lenders, no matter what their professions, tcill bc greeted by the traitors in arms as their own victory,” — Forney's Press. ' Is not that encouraging to Democrats ? Is it not kind and magnanimous? No differ ence what we say or what we.do, wo must stilldjo' considered “ traitors ” in the eyes of. the Administration, and the army of satel lites whoso ideas, of patriotism is measured by the number of dollars they can steal from the people’s treasury. Wo know that For ney is capable of doing anything and writing anything,-provided ho can make money, but yet when ho indited the above damnable slan der against these who have heretofore,stood .by him, and made him, the blood must have rushed to his temples, and his conscience smote him, if he had a conscience. Hero is another fine compliment to the Democratic party, which we find in.GnEELv’s Tribune. It is an extract from a letter of its Beaufort correspondent: “As a general thing, the contrabands (sieves) now in our camps and under our protection, (some 13,000,) are much more loyal and intelligent than the Northern dough faces who oppose general emancipation.”— Letter to the New TTork Tribune from Seaufort. There, Democrats of the North, you in the .army as well as all others who are : not in fa vor of -violating your oaths anch the Constitu tion, to please the traitor Abolitionists, what: think you of Qbeely’s opinion of you ? Aye, • it is not only the infamous Greedy who thus, speaks of, you, but thousands of others use language Of similar purport. The Demo crats of the North not us “ loyal and intelli gent” as the-half-barbarian negroes of South Carolina! Is it not monstrous that Demo orats-must tamely submit to such insults ? Now, for another Republican opinion. We clip the following from-the Pittsburg Gazette, the leading Administration paper ip Western j Pennsylvania.; . / ‘i Grant's brilliant success depended wholly upon the information brought by a poor chat tel—(a negro.”) So! Wo’had been under the impression that our brave soldiers, fuur or five hundred of whom wore slain, end ns many more wounded'in the battle, were entitled to some. credit for having reduced Fort Donelson ; but it appears we-were mistaken, for, according to the Gazette the success dependedi oholly upon-the information brought by a negro.”— Had not the Republicans bettor rally to the support of that “ chattel” for next Presi dent? 74 fit 71, 40 ■ 210 211 204 200 '212 The Republicans continue to revere the memory of the cold-blooded murderer, John Brown. The fact is, from the very hour that heartless wretch was .executed, at Charles-; town, thousands and tons of thousands of Abolitionists swore iu their, hearts that noth-' ing hut revenge would satisfy them. Hence' their opposition to the Crittenden Compro mise and all other peace propositions. In the’ House of Representatives, at Washington, a few days since, Mr. Bioham of, Ohio, a leading .and intelligent Republican, made a speech, from which wo take the following ex tract : “He alluded to the martyr, John Brown as “ the. old,man who had stood firm upon the altar of his trial,” and said if these trai tors of the South dipped their hands in the old man’s blood let them pay the penalties of their crimes under the laws of the entire people.” No public man dared to excuse John Brown’s atrocious crimes after his arrest and before his execution, but yet it was evident then that ho bad thousands of sympathising friends who approved his conduct. Brown, iu the stillness of the night, murdered the men, women and children at Harper's (Ferry. He 1 murdered them in cool blood, for ho did not know them, and for committing this un pardonable sin ho is now called a martyr by a man holding a seat in Congress 1 Are the Abolitionists piad, crazy, or do they wish to heap abuse and insult upon the Democratic party and .the people at largo, until their in solence will Bo resented and their black trea son punished-? Jt seems so. Death of Col. Murpat. — Col. TV. G. Mur ray, of the 84tli Regiment, w;as killed in the fight .at Winchester on Sunday lest.

Gen. McClellan really needs no such sup port, but the “singular coincidence” will •“'conibund fne devices,” if it do not “ assu age the malice”' of his enemies. If ho would speak; he could declare other successes to bo of his own origination ; but ho is tiqt only too modest to sound bis own praises, but so eager to reach the consummation of his plans as to. care little for all partial developments qntil the great result is achieved, This is but a glimpse of the great truth : which will noon burst upon the world. The Glamor against the Tax bill. —We observe that nil the small fry traders in the country are sending deputations to Washing ton to obtain modifications of the,new Tax bill in favor of their own particular interests.— Hatters, cappers and billiard markets; brew ers, paper-makers and dog fanciers ; auction eers, hotel keepers and carriage makers, have each their grievance to lay before the commit tee, and they Swarm like office seekers about the Capitol, The abolition newspapers join in a great bowl on their, account,, .and very soon we, shall expect to find all the tinkers and tailors in the country joining in the dance to Washington. There is really no occasion for all this excitement; but, in order, to put a stop to it, the best thing for Congress, to do ; is to pass the bill at once. We are quite wil ling to pay our share. • Every one . who goes to Washington to state his particular aggriev auca. ought to be sent to the old Capitol jail as an enemy of the country. There is plenty of room there now. ' O’One of the special dispatches from Washington, published in the Tribune of Sa turday last reads -thus 1 : “ A.year ago Wendell Philips would have been sacrificed to the Devil of Slavery any where on Pennsylvania Avenue. To-day he was introduced by Mr. Sumner on to the floor of the Senate. The Vice President left his seat and greeted him with marked respect. The attention of Senators to the apostle of; Abolition were of the most flattering charac ter. Marvelous conquest of prejudices, and marvelous movements of Northern ideas.” Marvelous movement of Northern ideas in deed, when a Senator of the United States in troduces to the Senate Chamber, and the Vice President greets with marked respect, a notorious, open and avowed disunionist like Wendell Phillips —one of the loading spir its among that circle of frank fanatics who ■'have neve* attempted to conceal' theik hatred of the Constitution of the United: States and the Union. And Senators wbo -profess the. the most intense patriotism almost prostrate themselves in their efforts, to do honor to the, “Apostle of Abolition.” “ Marvelous con-' quest of prejudices !” Fully as marvelous as the conquest that .Tefp. Davis and his satel lites accomplished over their prejudices when they left the-Senate Chamber to inaugurate thp rebellion against the Constitution and the Union. . In the evening of the same day W endell Phillips lectured at the Smithsonian Insti tute, lately abandoned to abolition uses.. ■Among other elegant things he said—“ John’ Brown first of all men, deserved the Moun-- taiu Department, next Fremont.” No doubt the Speaker intended to show his high appre ciation of Fremont, by placing him next to that, miserable old fanatic who was hiing for treason and murder. Had John Brown es caped the gallows, he Would now hold the first; place among the Abolitionists, and be with out a rival as a candidate for the next Presi dency ; but being dead, Fremont holds the second place. We have never been disposed to set a very extravagant estimate upon Fre mont’s patriotism or ability, but we never placed him quite so low as does his frie.nd Wendell Phillips.—f-bduH & Uniat}. The Rejection of James Leisle, Jr.—The Washington corresponent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in his letter dated March 20, thus speaks of the rejection by tho- U. S. Senate, of little Jim Leslie t “Considerable surprise has been created here by the rejection by the Senate of James Leslie, Jr.,-Consul at Nice. Mr. Leslie was, at the time of his appointment. Chief Clerk in tho War Department, and his rejection grows out of alleged corrupt practices while n that posit-inn. Senator Cowan made a scorch ing speech, in which ho charged tho grossest corruption and simony against him. Leslie was appointed Chief Clerk hy Secre tary Cameron, and some of tho evidence ap peared to implicate the’ late Secretary with tho fraudulent practices of Ida clerk.” Wo happen to know this Leslie, and a more impudent, bigoted Abolition dunce is not to bo found. I,lb belongs to the Beecher and Phillips ehoql of politicians, and has been a dofamor pf the Union and Constitution for many years. It appears that ho, too, during the few months ho was in tho War Depart ment was engaged in stealing from tho Gov ernment, and old Abe therefore considered that ho had earned a foreign fission. The Senate thought otherwise, and' sopio .Sena tors expressed the opinion that instead of sending him to Nice ha phquld bo sent to tho penitentiary.

Black Jlepublioanism was swept out as with a now broom, from one end of the copnty to the other. Put down Cumberland for 1000 Democratic majority next fall. O” The line of the Potomac is abandoned by,the enemy, and p free passage .along the Potomac is current. The Pennsylvania troops wore the first topaßs through Junction. F'om t%« Patriot tyfohv' Confiscation, THo Judiciary Committee of the Hoqsa qf Iteprosentativesat Washington has reported adversely upon fourteen bills providing for the confiscation of the property of rebels which were referred’ toil, from time to time. Mr. Hickman made report, proposing to substitute for- the- bills opd the following! n 'Whereas, The powers of Congress, under the Constitution, to authorize the confiscation of the property of persons engaged in' armed rebellion against the United’Stoles,.qr giving aid in said rebellion, is doubtful, ,and the pow er of the Executive to act in the promises is ample : . Be it enacted, hy the Ssncfte and House of Representatives,. That the Prpsidoht should use all moans, not inconsistent with, the laws of war, which,, in his judgment, may ho doofned necessary, to brush the rebellion, in cluding the seizure and final disposition of all the property, real and personal, of those engaged in armed rebellion against the Gov ernment, or aiding in such .rebellion, inclpd ing slaves ; and that in the opinion of Con gress decided measures on the part of the Ex ecutive have already become necessary. It must have taken the House- by surprise when John Hiblcman, who on a recent occa sion etigrpatized the special message of the raccortimending emancipation- with compensation, as unworthv of a full grown map,” proposed to invest Mr. Lincoln with the enormous power of determining how. far confiscation is necessary to crush the rebel lion, and to seize and finally dispose of all the property, real and personal, of those en gaged in rebellion. The proposition suhnjittod. to the house by Mr. Hickman, is in every respect more cal culated to excite astonishment than anything contained in the confiscation bills which the Judiciary Committee returned without their approval to that body.. . If Congress possesses no power under the Constitution to' authorize the confiscation of the property of persons engaged in rebellion, pray what clause in the Constitution confers that power upon ,the Executive ? The Gpni raitteo do not attempt to answer this perti nent question, but, their words imply that while the powers of Congress are liibitcd by the Constitution 1 , the Executive may do any; thing t* not inconsistent with the. Ipws of war, ” To Congress belongs the exclusive power of making-wan. The President, by virtue' of his position as Ctmimandor-iu-Cliief of, the army, is entrusted with the conduct of the war. He can determine when an army shall move, who shall lend if what point it shall attack, and how hll thooperations in the held are to ho managed. But all this power is of a purely executive-ohnhictor. The President cannot decide upon the purposes of the war, or determine the nature ortho extent of pun ishment to be inflicted upon the persons or tho property of those engaged : in rebellion. These . are .questions' already determined hy the Constitution and the laws, and the-Presi dent possesses no power to dispense with eith-: or. He is sworn to administer the laws and support the-Constitution ; nut to make' the one arid disregard the other. The Constitu tion of the United States says,-that no attain der for treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture of esuite, except during the life of the person'attained. The Judiciary Com r mitteo of'Congress-found in this clause an in surmountable'obstacle to the enactment of a sweeping, oorifisoation law, for we may sup pose that even John Hickman could not see ris way through this difficulty ; nild yet they seem to think the same rule which restrains Congress does no‘}-nstram the President, and that by virtue ofisnrne mysterious "higher law” than the Goijstitution, he may seize and iriako final disposition ,of all’ the property, real and personaty of those engaged ii^-the Re bellion.. ■ V The OonatUimffltrenrd tbs laws nlrri.ady make arable prfH'lwriT'TSt-'.tlia confiscation of the property of roiiels, and as the civil authori ty is restored in;the rebellious States there con bo no difficulty in trying and punishing every man engaged in this rebellion. There is no necessity for usurping prohibited pow ers for the purpose of administering justice. The laws of war unquestionably, demand'the exercise of a power that would not be justifiable in time of peace—such as shootiog men and taking possession of property. But the war power is limited and restrained by the actual exigencies of the contest, and does not extend to civil punishments. This position is too clear to admit of al-grimont; arid when the.' Judiciary Committee of invited the ' President to do what they would not venture to do' themselves, the not may well exsite sus picion that they were actuated by umyorthy motives. . '■','*■ ’ Aflothu firllliaDt Baltic, On Tliursday : fast our troops under Gen. Burnside attacked the rebels at Newbernp, N. C., and won a complete victory. Our' hoops were divided into three brigades under Generals/Reno, Poster and Parks. Wo ad-' vanced gradually, the enemy deserting their guns, until"wo reached a line of earthworks extending across the road from the river to the swamp on the- west, a distance of some two miles. ."These earth works were very strong. The country road and railroad, both passed through these works and crossed into the city, by bridges. In front of these works; the rebels had felled nlargo numher of trees,; forming on almost impenetrable abattis. Here the flying rebels were rallied, and made for a while a desperate stand. Our bravo fellows fought until their am munition was spent, when an order to charge bayonets was giton, and the works wore fina lly taken at the point of the bayonet, the en emy flying like frightened sheep, leaving eve rything behind them in their retreat. The rebels burnt the bridges communicating with the town over both the country road and the railroad. As they had their train's of cars in their roar-, just .across the bridges, they of course were able, to carry off their .wounded and dead. . Their loss is therefore not certain ly known, but it .must have been severe. Be fore our troops reached this last work:they encountered another, which whs deserted be fore they came up. It was in front of. this last fortification that our greatest i-loss was sustained. Our entire loss is estimated -by Major Johnson at 90 killed and 400 wounded and missing. The force of the rebels is sup posed to hive been about -8,000. We cap tured a number of prisoners, including Gol. Avery, tyho cursed his soldiers ns cowards.— Just as tlie battle terminated, the fog lifted and enabled our gunboats, which had been waiting for an opportunity to participate’ in the fight, to come up the river; and our troops were furnished with means of transportation across the Trent river to Now berne. Tho rebels . attempted to burn ' the i town jn their retreat, but were prevented by . the citizens, who.extinguished the flamea lis • fast as they were started by tho soldiers.— Nono of our generals or., staff officers were ' killed or wounded. -Wo captured from 30 to fiO cannon. The. officers of the rebels left their private traps .Ireland on their final ro i treat, and tho men throw away everything.— i The fight terminated at 3 P. M., on Friday, ; .when our troops remained masters of tho field. 0“ Our Republican exchanges are just now engaged in publishing numerous receipts to make substitutes for coffee end ten. As the new revenue bill imposes a on those articles, from w.hich considerable income was expected, all these substitutes will only help to deprive the Government of that much aid towards paying the interest on its debt. -It doesn’t look well, to say the least, for those who rofosaptobe such strong advocates of the war, to try to slip nut of paying their shore of the expense whi,Q_h it j>as ocourjred, jnjhis jnmmv/ J The Way Thclloney Got?, Our readers pro pretty well posted ns to the woy the publia mopey has boon plundered by tbo Freemontera, Ppmeronians, and Welles itos. We now submit, from good Reppblicnn authority, a specimen, of financial ocopomy in the U, S. Senate, under the administration of its Seoretory, the renegade pnd mercenary Fobney. The following is an extrp'ctfrom a recent speech, of Senator Hale, of Now Hamp shire: “ I have endeavored to arrest gome of our expenditures hero in the Senate ; and now I frill mention another fact to this economical Senate, all of whom agree that economy is so necessary. Wo are reduced in numbers ;wo are about forty-nine instead of sixty-eight, ns we- need to bo ; and yet we are administering the Senate to day vastly more expensively, with more* officers and more salaries than we ever paid.belore. Wo require our Secretary at the commencement of every year to give us n list of his employees, their number and compensation. I have looked at the list for the last eight or ten years, and the li.it to-day is nearly double viJwt it was tot.years ago , and -the salaries are ipuoh higher." And this state of things is tolerated apd sanctioned by a Black Republican, Senate, at a time when the.

Encouragement and protection •of free speech is certainly carried to a degree border ing upon folly, in the grant of the use of the Senate Chamber to jyendell Phillips by the accomodating Senators of the State of Penn sylvania. This man is at best but on a par with JJreckinridge as an utterer of “ polished treason,” and why ho should be potted, aided and comforted by the State . Seriate of this Commonwealth is a mystery to all but'those who know how far the blind infatuation of party will compel its subservient adherents to go. If a tithe dfwhat has been recently uttered by this itinerant mischief maker-had been spoken by. any champion, of tragann on the opposite side, the whole tribe who. follow) applaud, arid idolize Phillips wopld clamor for the immediate incarceration of his adversary in Fort Warren or Port Lafayette. Yet we see a party majority in the Senate of our loy al and conservative .Commonwealth, patroniz ing this preacher of discord and disunion. What is the probable character of his propos ed speech in the Senate it is very well the public should know, and we design to devote some space to their enlightenment. We have seen no full report of the recent harangue of Phillips in this city, but tho Tri bune of March 18th furbishes, aisix.. column report of the speech ho made in Washington on tho previous Eriday, and from this we ex tract sufficient tp show the people of this lath .tude what character of man and what quality of sentiment their Senators have taken under thriir encouragement, patronage and protec tion . What follows is quoted from Phil lips;— f " Nmn, X loyo the Constitution, though my friend (Dr. Pierpont), who sits beside me, .has heard mb curat it a hundred times, and I shall again if it does mean justice, Thavo' labored nineteen year a to lake nineteen -States out of this Union, and iflhave spent any nineteen years to the satisfaction of ray Puritan conscience, it win those nineteen yeara," ■ " Unless within twelve months or* twenty-four, Maryland is a free State, Dolowaroand half Virgin ia, would to Ood that building (tho Capitol), with* this city of Washington, had boon .shelled to usho^ last July.” '* . * ■ *'* * ■ Speaking of the origin of the rebellion, Phil lips declares .that “ it was nobody’s fault, but that "it'ia the inevitable results of ibfi' seeds mtr fathers planted seventy years ago and in another place, but on this same sub ject, in his flippant and impious style of re mark ooqcermnfftho Deity and tho venerated founders of the Republic, he says of the lat l ter that'ttiejj'P dare not trust God.” , Referring to Wm. Lloyd Garrison, the in veterate disunion—who kept standing, time out of mind, at the head of his paper, tho in famous sentiment that the venerable men who framed the Constitution had made “ an agree ment with death aud a covenant with hell” —this prfietj/} of the Senators of Ponr.aylvao ia characterized him as," a man who bad done more, in',the providence of God, to shape the fate of this generation than any other one,” njid that ho (Phillips), waspro.ud to si tat his (Garrison’s) foot.” It shouhl be borne ciu mind that .thefuriqus zealot who is.thus laud ed by Phillips lias, within a few weeks, pros tituted 'bis columns to. an attack upon Mrs.' Lincoln, in which her ■" levee", or “ ball” at the White House, a month, or two. ago. was denounced as a “nocturnal revel,” “ a dissi pating carnival,” "got up” by a “-weak wo man,” “ whose sympathies are with slavery and as a scene which scarcely falls short of those “riotirigsin Rome in tho days ot her decadence,” or those “ barbarous abomina tions of which we road with amazement.” After an exhibition of those passages, it will excite no surprise to find this disciple of, the foul-mouthed jibolpr of on estimable'wo-' mlui—thip foraeiUcr of discbril-r-tbis syste matic gnu life-longohpinpion of disunion —this cu’rser of tho Constitution—-thip yilijsld .blas phemer of the great and good men’of the Revolution and of the .God to whom they ap pealed.;—it will excite no surprise, we repeat, to find that such a man seasoned such dis course with slanders of the bravo and able General at the head of the array. It will create no astonishment, either, to learn that what he did say was false in point of fact and wickedly false in its suggestion.

Dear Sir —On Friday last wo made tlio fol lowing sght with the black enemy: Each party nepiinated its own ticket throughout, and the contest was purely political. The Democracy elected their. Burgess and Assis tant Burgess, fo'pr of the five Town Council, two of the three school Directors, the Judge of the Election, Tax Collector, and Auditor. Tho Black Republicans only elected one Coun cilman, one School Director, the Justice of the Peace and Constable. ’ Tse Disdnionist Wenbell Phillips. —His life-long secessionist, by invitation of the Republicans of tho State Legislature, dese crated the Senate chamber ,on tho eve ning of the 20th mat., by delivering one of his treasonable Abolition.Jpctpros. The cor respondent of the Philadelphia Jnguirer thus refers to this arch traitor : ' “Tho House of Representatives having re fused to grant Wendell Phillips the use of its Hall for tho purpose of delivering an Aboli tion lecture, tho Senate adopted a resolution tjiis morning giving him the use of its Hall for to,-morrow evening. Who can say after this that wo are not a charitable and forgiv ing people-? JJ!r. Bhijiips says that he is now a Union man-forthe first time in twenty years, and yet one year of conditional loyalty is sufficient to atono- for twenty years of active treason. If the era. of good feeling continues to approach at this rapid rate, wo may all live to see the time when Northern Legisla tures will pay marked respect to Jefferson Davis."
