One Rieht After Another, Lost.
It Mcrnn as though the present Admin
inflation was paying very littlo respect to
the prescribed limits in our National Con
stitution. Not content with raising Ar
an', and building up ft Navy upon their
responsibility, it is still grasping after
authority net warranted by any law of the
you n try.
The President, seems to tve profited by
the stratagem of Napoleon in lfM, when
he overthrew the Republic of France, by
eusitig the arrest in one night, of nil
leading persons opposed to an imperial
government. The late raid upon the Tel
graph offices, and the seizure of all the
correspondence, in an outrage upon every
nivil right that an American citizen can
fosses.; the appropriation of the private
and social correspondence, by the Gov
ernment would not be endured so meekly
:u we seem lo bear it, by the citin of
any other country.
The government I y pacing laws to es
tablish Telegraph lines, at the same time
required all tho operators to be sworn to
jry,cy and secrecy; in cefforenco to all
correspondence, no eye was to see, and
no ear was to ever hear Whatever corres
pondence was trnnsmitteaty Telegr.iph.
.except the operators and the parties send
',ng and receiving the samo. Wis system
,f secrecy havutg beojieslablkhod ly law,
in adijitio? io henvy peniJtis for its vio
lation, soon pbtnin the confidence of the
i,oMti, n,ld a largo correspondence by
Vis ief-hod has been carried on :n the
Unitod Slate over since tho establish
ment or the Telegraph. Heretofore this
jnode of oorrespondenee hs en lield so
yacred by cue courts of Justice, 1h:it Telo
graphic, despatches were not allowed to be
.offered in evidence, notwithstanding that
l,y resorting to this mode of testimony
ho worst criminals cmiH lnv been cin
yictod, and a great die:k given to coun
terfeiters and bliaipers. What have we
;;o,y those vlw having sworn to uphold
f ho la.-, and protect the citizen in all his
rights, have in u high handed manner
cied all thii kind of correspond jnce
throughout the country, and curried them
to Vahinjron. and beve appointed '
muintion to uxttmjtiu and ow:h.iul Uii
ffi,f,,i.' rrtT.:f,ioiid.ejn.,o, un act that vroulu

Tlie next oider we expect toharTrom

Masters to open and examine all tho let

According to direction ". hut it otherwise

a right t,0 seize and examine a correspon.
flencoby Telegraph ; they.havo tho same
right to upproprifltp all correspondence
(.HU'fieJ oji by letter. If they have no
fight to dp the latter, there can be no au
thority to do the former, yet wo know,
jhey have done this.
VYe confess that we are jropared Cor

fiod the several Governor of the slates
raising volunteers for the war, that they
houjd appoint no officers, except those
who rre graduates of West Toint or had
py exie;iWfM)0,.iime versed in militnry
affairs. Yet :i fle face of this order,
Jen. Cameron has smon .appointed three
Jirigadior Generals and one Otlonel, from
his Male in tho regular army, who know
jio more about military tactic, than a
naniet docs alout Greek. Neither of
them have ever distinguished themselves,
except in the art of political Knavery, and
jn this particular they are tho peers of
any set of men in our itate.
4s an pyjdenco of this inconipctenry we
jiecd -irty refer our reader to the mur
-ct of our soldiers, near Fori Monroe.
A fow more sbcli demonstrations will no
doubt, bring a li'tlo more system out of
tcliaos. ;
.The Administration should now reward I
(fieo. Pcavcc by appointing bini to a For
,ign 'Mission. He may be better fitted
for tliai duty, than to command soldiers
to becoui.e food for cannon and inutkets.
But as flu) pat out head of our Govern

acarcely boexj eotad that their appoint

think the "people" are about satisfied
with tho "new Kngiueer," and that tho

ment today find themselves surrounded
with the same kind of nun alluded to in
tho X chapter of Luke, and the latter
clauso of tho 20th verse; and would no
doubt be glad to have the old "Engineer"
at the "Machine" again, or in the hands
of those who run it previous to the advent
of Black Kepublicanism, which is now
"running" it with 2"i0,000 soldiers and a
million of dollars per day similar to Na

The Telegraph Raid.
When 1'rciidi'iit Lincoln JLvo. conceived
the grand idea of seizing tho Telegraph
Dispatches, and tho appointment of an
Inquisition tit Washington to examine
them, little did thry supposo that they
were making a raid upou their own 'i'els.'
It appears that lh attack upon Fort
Sumpter was caused by a Telegraphic de.
spatch sent to Charleston by James K.
Harvey, a Washington Correspondent of
tlxs riiiladelphin Xorth American, New
York Tribune nd a number of other Itlack
Republican jiupets, and was recently ap
pointed Minister to l'ortugal. Mr. Har
vey being in confidence of tho Adminis
tration, telegraphed to the Charlcstonians
that tho Government were about to ra-in.
force Fort Sumpter, honce the precipitate
attack. It is a pity that Mr. Harvey is
not a Loco Foeo the larceny of the tele
graphic dispatches was done to catch some
Dis-union democrats.
Our reader no doubt reccollect, that
during tho celebrated "Banks" Congress,
ilte first Congress tho lUack iKf jiublicajjs
-ever controlled nsKuch, a corruption com-
Uniiiee was appointed, for the purpose of
cxjpelliiig'Democratic mcmVters lor bribery
and corruption, but (lie result was that
one of iflheir own memlicr was expelled,
two resigned, and tuo Lad a -vote-of .cen
sure passed upon them, hut nary a Demo
crat was caught. The Telegraph raid,
and the inquisition, like the omiption
committoe, nreturning their gun upon
themselves.

It affords us Aiuch pleasuc lo be able
to state now ufter being possessed of all
th' facts in tho cast, that the rumored
arrest of this geu'lenian at Harrisburg on
the charge of treason, and which we brief
ly noticed in our last issue, had scarcely
the shiulow of a foundation. The facts,
obtained from the highest source, and
from persons who were present at the
time when tho alleged criminal language
should have been used, are briefly these:
I A conversation took place At tho dinner
table at tho U. S. Hotel, ami agsin renew
ed in front of the hotul, in which a gent
ihiaian remarked that "tho object of this
war was lo svipeout slaTery." To which
Capt. Loraino replied that "if that was
the fact he was in the wrong place; that
ho was not opposod to slavery; that he was
here with a company In defence and sup
port of tho Union, the Constitution and the
laws, and that he was ready to avengo any
insult to the star and stripes, come fiom
whatever quarter it might; but that if
this war was tor (he extermination of sla
very, he wanted to know it, as in that
case ho would never draw a trigger."
Thcso may not bo precisely th words j
used but certainly their S'ji.tae.
Tho information was made by &pt.
McDonald, of one of the KlklMcKean
companies not from any thing he knew
or lw.d ,limslf' . "ported
to "' othfrt- o warrant was issued,
nd no fu, t"er red'" bad, although
'very ellort was made and is still ronkwia
iy Capt. Loraine and his friends, to have
a thorough Mvcst'igitt1(m which the com
manding officers declined, for tke reason
that the offence was of too trifling a diar
actor to notice.
This slander originated iu a tXatejucnt
despatched to. and published in the PJiil-
rvi ihin Inquirer of thelllh iwt. and
the matter was unknown in Camp "Gurtin
until that paper was received tUew That

We had but one vet in our company. Of
the seventy-seven of u, there are but two
on the wick list ; one with the measles and
the other with n dislocated elbow : the re
sult of the improper nnd useless practice
of wrestling. Both however doing very
well. We have also a few Kupernumerii
liits, one of whom was tooMck to bo sworn
in, and will be too delicate to go into ser
vice for some time, although he is very
willing to try it The other (wo were re

physical deficiency and tho oilier for be

We slill have plenty to et, but like the
unfortunate and unhappy Flora McFlim

1 Ins story was doubtless i: vented lor a

they richly deserve. The language impu

of tho most gallant spirit in (he service.
They hold this to be a war waged in ilu
feiice of the Union and the Constitution,
and rot n crusade against the dotnentic :n

When the supremacy of the Constitution

be pcrforniet, and our brave soldiers will
be ordered to return to their homes. f
such sentiments are treasonable, where
shall we find loyalty? I should not have
deemed it necesury to allude to this af
fair, if you had the opportunity of seeing
or hearing the fact ns they exist, nor do
I intend any defence or explanation on
