explaining our present national diffi

Instead of speaking far the whole
American people he spoke for the Re

that was"thrOugliallhistory the stud•

The New York 'Tribune and
Herald are harmonious on the ques
tion that slaves are "contraband of
war" and should be confiscated.—
They propose 'the.poYment of , the• ox
perms of-Are-war With eueh chattel,
and 'think that a half . c, miilion , of
-slaves in Virginia could `be sold for
$150,00b,000. Ono day these scamps
would make our army a slave libera
ting army, and the next they would
convert our government into a grand
slave-dealer. The army is to furnish
the commodity while the government
disposes of it. Just look at the idea
—your army goes out and captures
slaves while the government sells
them to pay the expenses! With
Greely and his crew the "nigger" is
first, last, and all-the-time, Save when
they are r flajin g the traitor. 'lnfor
mation is now In the hands of thergov
ernment that one of the attachees of
the Tribune, and who has lately been
favored with a high foreign mission,
has been furnishing information to
the rebels during the soige of Fort
Sumpter, and playing the traitor gen
erally. We congratulate the Democra
cy that Mr. James-E. Harley,' the re
cently appointed Minister to-Portugal
(the,person .alluded to) does !mit, :be-.
long;to err of rnrtl2aeion, forithe did
the whole party would have been
charged with his "treason." As Mr.
Harvey is a Republican, his friends
call his short comings"indiscretions !"
10.. The; Republican papers are fill
ed with "explanations" of the "alleg
ed" "complicity" of the "indiscreet"
correspondence of Minister Harvey
with the South. They cannot find
words soft enough to explain away
othe treason. I W.'hen •we imagine the
'uproar There wmild lintve 'been—t-he
denunciations of the whole Democrat
ic party—the treats , o Iltupts, hang
ing. tar and feathers," and all that,
that would have been 'belched forth
by the Republicans, if this first dis
covered traitor had been a Democrat,
we can only wish that every one of
.the 4m aw •scon drels could be com
pressed into as liindio 't Oro rot,
ten army pantaloons, and that same
good fellow would kick them mind
the world.
It is reported in the Philade!.
phis Inquirer, (Republican.) that there
is an open rupture between the Pres.
ident and Secretary Cameron, vela
tive to.the recent appointments of 6-
vilians to high offices, made by the
latter. Old Abe bluntly told him to
give hp his ,portfolio; and that he
(Abe) was President; *a.

on Friday, in Viiieirgo, accorifi . ng Ito
the services of the Roman Catholic
Church, of which his widow is a mem.
ber. The torn out of the people was
immense, and alt business was sus
pended.
Mar - The Harrisburg cotton factory
will be closed in a few. days for the
present. This will throw out of em
ployment about 800 hands who hare
heretofore subsisted on the wages
from the mill. The mill is stopped
in consequence of the short supply of
cotton.
1 Every few days we have ac
counts from Washington of the "bril.
lianey of the Diplomatic Dinners ;"
"the President's levees," "the Secre
taries' entertainments ;" the halls, re-
Options, parties, and, in general, we
learn that feasting and pleasure is
the order of the day among the guests.
In the present deplorable condition
of the country, such feasts had better
be dispensed with and these general
ly engaged is them should sot an ex
ample of abstemiousness, instead of
riotously making merry while the day
lasts. Such scenes contrast to diead
vantage with the condition of the
country and the sufferings of the peo
ple. We can read in an old and too
much•forgotten book that a hand.
writing once appeared upon the walls
to just such a party as frequently as
sembles in the Executive Mansion,
and may be found almost any day in
some of tho palatial houses of Wash.
ington. A Belshazzar feast, or a Nero
making merry over the burning of
Rome, may yet find an illuatration in
this nineteeth century and on this
Western continent.

by the Head of our Church, in the commend

Resolve 1. That while we, as 'citizens of the
United Stites ' and as. members of the Moravian
Church, ilev.ply deplore the calamity of civil war
in our land, we acknowledge the chastening hand
of God, and humbly bow to the decrees of Him
who bolds the destinies of nations in His hands.
2. That while we acknowledge and

declare our continued and unabated allegiance to
the Government and the Constitution of the Hu i•

duty to extend to it our hearty support in its ef

danger, his gracious counsel. and continuo to be
the gracioui Protector of these United States,
and of our National Constitution ; that he may
defeat every evil design against us, and continue
to show his tender mercy unto these United
States as in days past; that He may, in his ten

make discord and war to cease; and that, to this
end, He may put into the hearts of all citizens of
these United States thoughts of peace, that we
may soon see it established to the glory of his
name.
5. That we will in our prayers also remember
those who, itt obedience to the salt of their coun

forth to protect our insulted Bag, and in support
of our Constitution and laws, that the Lord of
Hosts may strengthen and uphold them in the
hour of distress, especially when in the arms of
death; prove to theta their only trust and conso

tears of parents, brothers, sisters, and friends;
and protect the widows and fatherless children of

A TRAITOR.
Among the telegraphic dispatches re
cently seized by the Government are said
to be some disclosing the fact that James
E. Harvey, recently appointed MiniSter to
Portugal, and now in that country; hai
been giving important information to the
authorities of South Carolina conderning
the movements of the Government. Mr.
Harvey is well known to the pabilc as for
many years the Washington corres
pondent at the North American, in the
oltunnt of which journal he wrote letters
over the signature of •Independent.' Du
ting the last session of Congress 'he-fur
bished sptcial telegraphic dispatches . to the .
New York• Tribune. His dispatches to
the Tribune were ultra. and uncompromis
ing enough to suit the taste of thataboli
tion sheet. It seems- to ,be the general
impression that Harvey will be re-called,
and that will be the end of it.
Mir it is good, after the reign of terror
in the north, during which The loyalty
_of
(nearly* eVerk Democrat *as questioned, to
find that the first discovered traitor is an
appointee to the office by present ad
ministration; an editor of the NeW York
Tribune ; and a Republican.
Mir During the last interview Mr.
illaulkner, late minister to France had with
Lewis Napoleon, the latter Unreservedly
expressed his profound regret at the unhap
py dissensions now existing between the
two great sections of the American Union
and asked whether the friendly mediation
of France would be acceptable if the of
fer were made.
The Emperor further said he feared it
might now be too late and that civil strife
had gone too far to be stopped by an, ap
peal to the dictates of reason ; but if he
could be the means of averting the horrors
of a war between American brothers, he
would esteem it a high privilege to offer
the friendly council Of France.
The inStruciions to Mr. liaytesi t Mr.
Faulkner's successor, are such that the
Emperor Will make no further advances
towards mediation.

This regiment, stationed at Alexandria,
is winning golden opinions. The activity
and zeal of the officers and men are testi
fied to by their comrades of other regi
ments, and by the loyal citizens whose in
terests they so faithfully guard. A few
days ago, a squad of the Fifth "captured"
three hundreds barrels of flour at the mills
near Alexandria and another squad dis
pvered concealed in the woods near the
Leesburg road, a ton of lead near which
was the mattress and blankets of the Se

THE FAIRFAX COURT-HOUSE
AFFAIR-PLANS' OF THE
REBELS.
‘VABITINOTON, Tuesday, June 4.
Information, which is said to be
positive that the rebel troops at Fair
fax are under orders to offer no re
sistance to the federal . army, but to
fall back on Manassas Junction. The
resistance offered by the rebel pickele
to Lieut. Tompkins' company of the
U. S. cavalry, which led to their
brilliant charge through the village,
on Saturday last, was contrary to or
ders, as there was no intention to
make a stand there in the event' of
the approach of any portion of the
federal army. It is said that the in.
tention of General Lee was not to en.
gage the federal troops until they
reached a certain point to which he
designed to throw out his troops so
as to take them in the rear. It is
evident that the rebels are making
strenuous eftbrts to defend Manassas
Junction, which it isthepolicy of our
government to take possession of.

CONTEMPLATED EVACUATION
OF HARPER'S FERRY.
Information reaches us from Har
per's Ferry that the rebel's 'contem
plate-an evacuation .of that:post,. and
it is certain that the:residents there
are abandoning it in large .numbers
and retiring to , Winchester. From
the reliable intelligenee we have. from
Harrisburo• of the advance Of the
United St ates l ' troops In.the direction
of. }haver's Ferry, and the, immense
force surrounding that point and:Com.
pletely hemming in the :garrieon;- as
well as from the fact that Ethan pox
and4liarrlicea,.are raging amongithe
trodfis, it is not at all improbable that
the . rumors , .of evacuation may .be
prove-true. Upwards of 5,000 feder,
at fro6ps• arrived ! at Chambersburg
yesterday„ and in less than twenty,
ftsfer hours there will be fully 80,000
MO :at the point, menacing the Ferry.

ehoSen President of the Company in place

Two BiAns.—Once up4ii a time there
lived an old couple known far and wide
for their interminable squabbles. Sudden
ly they had changed their mode of life,
and were as complete patterns of conju
gal felicity as they formerly were of dis
cord. A neighbor anxious to know the
cause of such a conversion, asked the gude
wife to explain it. . She replied, "I and the
old man have got on well enough togeth
er ever since we kept two bears in the
house." "Two bears !" was the perplex
ed reply. "Yes, sure," said the old lady
"bear . and forbear."
