On the 21st of February, 18G1, months ; after all show of loyalty had disappeared in rebeldom, a body of men assembled at Harrisburg and passed the following reso lution : Resolved, That we will by all proper and legitimate means. OPPOSE, DISCOUNTE NANCE and PREVENT any attempt on the part of the Republicans in power to make any ARMED AGGRESSION UPON THE SOUTHERN STATES, especially as long as laws contravening their rights shall remain ■ unrepealed on the statute books of tbeNorth orn States, and so loDg as the just demands i of the South shall continue unrecognized bv ; the Republican majorities in these States, and unsecured by the proper amendatory ex planations of the Constitution. It is sometimes useful to refer to the past, in order to see where men stood in the hour of our country's danger. Now those who reported and adopted this reso lution —but one step removed from treason —were not members of the People's Party, nor Republicans, and not even Abolition ists ; but represented the same Simon Pure Patent Pemoeraey whieh the people are now told must be restored to power to pre serve this Union t What would have been thought of such patriots in the revolution, and in the war of 1812, and what ought to be thought of them now ? Southern Barbarism The incredible stories of rebel atrocity end barbarism at Bull Hun are receiving constant confirmation. It is settled that the body of Major Ballou was taken up for that of Colonel Slocum and the bones con verted into rebel trinkets. Numbers of oth ers were served in the same way, and so called ladies, rejoice in the possession of trinkets manufactured out ofbuman bones. At Pittsburg Landing the other day some of our sick were killed in cold blood, and with a refinement of cruelty known only to the most savage tribes. The hospital tents were fired and sick men burned to death while others bad their heads set on fire! — Our prisoners have been fired at and killed in jail, and the provisions which flying rebels have been unable to carry off have been poisoned in order to thus murder those who should unfortunately partake of them. The whole tone of the southern press; the statements of many of the pris oners, and the notorious unfeminine con duct of scccsh women in those localities ta ken by our arms all attest the sad grade cf civilization prevailing. On Tuesday a week the rebels came out from their rifle-pits, in front of Lee's Mills, near Vorktowu, killing one of our pickets. After ho was dead about thirty of them fired their pieces into his head, completely riddling it with bullets. Notwithstanding ali these and other well authenticated acts of the southern fieuds, there are men in the North who would welcome back these hellhounds as citizens, who talk of them as " our brothers," and would gladly get their votes to bclster up the rotten and corrupt party leaders lately in power. Evan# & Co s Nursery, York, Pa. -4 friend who recently visited the nur sery of these gentlemen, writes as follows " 1 was oat at tho nurseries this morning. I had no idea before that they were so exten sive. They cover over one hundred acres of ground, and contain trees and plants from nearly every part of the world, and of almost varieties. Among the rest are several specimens of what tho English call the Wei• li'lSfonian, and the Americans the Washing lonian GigaivUa, or the "Big Tree of Califor pia." When we arrived at the grounds, the Superintendent, Mr. Williams, wasunpacking a box which had just been received from France. Its size was about 6 feet in length, 3 feet wide and 3 feet deep. It contained 68,000 Paradise stocks, each about 16 inches fn length, which are used in growing different varieties of the apple. This single box cost upwards of SSOO dollars. The grounds are beautifully laid out in avenues and ranges, oud adorned with handsome buildiugs, occu pied by Mr. Evans as his residence, office. Ac. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. The special committee of the Senate, of which Mr. Clark is chairman, made a re port, on the resolution referred to them in quiring into the loyalty of Benjamin Starke, a Senator from Oregon. The committee came to the following conclusion : jri rs t —That for mariy months prior to 21et November, 1861, and up to that time, the said Starke was an advocate of the cause of ; the rebellious States. Second —That after the formation of the : constitution of the Confederate States, he | openly declared his admiration for it, advo cated the absorption of the loyal States of the Union into the Southern Confederacy un der that Constitution, as the only means of 1 peace, warmly avowing his sympathy with the south. Third. —That the Senator from Oregon is disloyal to the Government of the United States. The Senate on Thursday passed the bill for the appointment of diplomatic repre sentatives to I lay ti and Liberia—yeas 32, nays 7. The Confiscation bill was discus sed and Mr. Sherman's amendment, naming certain classes of llebels who should be subjected to the penalties of the bill, and restricting its application to these, was adopted—yeas 26, nays 11. In the House of Representatives Mr. Vallandigham submitted a resolution cal ling for correspondence with the French Government relative to the present troubles in America. It was referred to the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs. In accordance with the agreement of the Republican cau cus the Confiscation bills were—yeas 90, nays 31 —referred to a special committee of seven, with instructions to report at an early day. Tory Vallandigham denounc ed a statement made by Senator Wade as that of " a liar, a scoundrel and a coward." The Senate on Friday confirmed the nomination of General George Cadwallader, of Pennsylvania, to be a brigadier General of Volunteers. The President is under stood to have renominated General Daniel E. Sickles to a Brigadier Generalship. Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill providing for the forfeiture of the propert}' of Rebels. Mr. Wade introduced a bill re lating to suits against public officers for acts committed in suppressing the rebellion, and designating the courts and the restrictions under which such suits can be instituted. The bill for the establishment of a steam ship line between San Francisco and China and appropriating 8500,000 annually there for, was passed. In the House Mr. Hutchins offered a resolution censuring Mr. Vallandigham for words spoken in debate against Senator Wade. Mr. Vallandigham sheltered him self behind a rule of the House which re quired that the words excepted to should have been taken down in writing, and the Speaker decided the resolution out of order. The debate on the report of tire Committee on Contracts was resumed, and the House afterward adjourned to Monday. Death of Major General Smith- The Union has lost one of its ablest do fenders, and Pennsylvania a noble, upright citizen, ever zealous for the public good. General Charles Ferguson Smith died at Savannah, Tennessee, on Friday last, from an illness contracted at the time of his oc cupation of that town. The deceased of ficer was a son of Dr. Samuel B. Smith, of Philadelphia. From the date of his grad uation at N\ est Point, in 1825, his advance ment, not only in rank, but in the esteem and confidence of his fellow officers, was merited and rapid. Commencing his mil itary career as a seeond lieutenaut of artil lery, his distinguished merit ou the fields of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, Mon terey, Cherubusco, and Contreras, raised him in quick succession to the rank of Ma jor, lieutenant colonel, and colonel. At the time of his death he was colonel of the 'lhird Infantry—one of the best regiments in the service. Such worth as his could ! not lie dormant in the present struggle.— In August last he was made a brigadier | general. At the taking of Fort Donelson : his valor was conspicuous, alike to friend and foe, and woa for him the rank of ma j jor general. BtflulJuring the debute on the bill recog nizing IT ay ti and Liberia, Mr. Saulsbury, ol Delaware, a toul of toryism, rose and declared that "this was evidently one of the serious measures to be enacted by aboli tionism, and twelve months would secaiic gro on tho floor of this Senate, and his lamily in the diplomatic gallery. He wish ed ouly to say that he would not be re sponsible for this result." 1 he locofoco fool who made this declar ation, ought to be taken to the south, have his face blacked, and worked in a rice or a cotton field for a few years, when his ideas would probably undergo a change. Our government has recognized all kinds of na tions and colors over the world, but to please the nigger democracy of the south, llayti and Liberia have always been treated with marked contempt, though the com merce of the former is far greater than that of many Dations with whom we hava full diplomatic relations, and the latter at least valuable.

Tory puppies it seems will bark in Cengress as well as here. flaTThe escape of Col. Smalley, of Yer mont, on the occasion of the recent skirmish at Yorktown, was truly wonderful. The rebel shot went within a few inches of his head, and tho concussion was so great that the blood spirted out from both of Col. S.'s ears. 6gL>Last Sunday little boy ike, three years and a half old, went to church for the first time. His mother gave him a penny to put into the contribution box, which he did, and sat quiet for a few moments, and then wanted to know how soon the man was coming with the candy. —The Democrat wants to know whether we consider Mr. Hale (who voted not to tax slaves) an abolitionist. The Democrat hus for years endeavored to prove him to be one, and it ought to be able to say whether it has lied or not, without having our opinion told ten times over. —The British papers now seem to consider it a fortunate circumstance that England did not get into a war with the United States, as it is admitted that the Monitor could have destroyod any 6h;p in the British navy, and been more than a match fur up entire fleet of wooden vessels. ftgyAmong the excuses offered far exemp tion in the drafting in Georgia some are ex tremely ludicrous. In Smyth county, one man in enroling himself, wrote opposite his name "one leg too short." The next man that came in, noticing the excuse and deem ing it pretty good, thought he would make his better, and wrote opposite his name, "both legs too short " —Jesse B. Wharton, a military prisoner who was shot by a sentinel at Washington a short time ago, repeatedly defied the sentry to car ry out his orders, cursing him with awful oaths, calling him a d—d Yankee sou of a }>—h ; a Northern son of a b—li; a d—d hir ed scoundrel, too cowardly to enforce his or der by shooting, &c. —" I repeat," said the courageous Senator from Ohio, bold Bin Wade, a few days age, "that, as no jurist has undertaken to. define the limits to which a man might g<-> in the defence of his life when assailed, so no states man would undertake to limit the powers which the government might use to preserve its life when assai'ed by traitors." —Tho malice which dictated the state ment in the last Lewistown Democrat that an election for clerk of the council, held more than a month ago, is a removal —a post for which the editor of the Gazette had neither solicited a nomination nor a vote —is duly appreciated. As the writer and publisher of that contemptible falsehood was publicly con firmed as a member of tbe Episcopal Church but a few weeks ago, it needs no comment. —By General Orders issued from the war department, Adjutant General's Office, April 18, b3' the direction of tbe President, Brigade Surgeon J. 11. Thompson, United States Vol unteers, is dismissed the service as an alarm ist, on the recommendation of his command ing General, Major General Burneide. This fellow is no doubt one of the gang who en tered the servioe for tho purpose of creating disaffection among the troops. —The Sullivan county Democrat thinks the abolition of slavery in tbe capital of a free country will " hurt tbe feelings of our northern —traitors!" Democracy in Sullivan and down here seems to be a very different thing, the former being genuine, the latter patent nigger, as taught by Davis, Yancy, Cobb and other traitors. —Major Talbot, one of the heroes of Fort Sumter, died in Washington city on Wednes day night, aged about 38 years. His funer al took place on Thursday. After the fall of Sumter Talbot, who was then a First Lieut, of the regular army, was promoted to a Ma jor. He was a gallant officer, a genial gen tleman and a scholar. Talbot's health was seriously injured while on dutj at Fort Sum ter, and be pever afterwards recoyered it. —We do not know to which of the editors of the Democrat we are indebted for a fling at our petty office, as one has been among the " ins" as far back as the memory of the oldest inhabitant gootb, while the other studied democracy nnder the traitor Cobb for four years, for which he received about five thousand four hundred dollars, mostly in gold, or an average of $1350 a year!—and yet growls and grumbles at at a few dollars gov ernment tax.

The uews of the capture of New Orleans has reached us only through rebel sources, and so few particulars are given that the report may not prove entirely reliable. I'hat New Orleans was destined to fall into our possession has long been the prevailing opinion of all our military and naval offi cers, but the enemy have furnished us with the gratifying intelligence that, sooner than we expected, oar anticipations have heeu realised. The opinion was frequent ly expressed that uot until our gunboats and flotilla on the Upper Mississippi had completed the capture of Memphis, and sailed down to join Commodore Porter, could the great rebel metropolis be forced to surrender. Now, however, if the rumor we publish be correct, our ocean fleet can assist Commodore Foote and General Pope, instead of waiting for their aid ; and the whole line of the great Father of Wat ers will speedily be placed under our con trol. Rebel Report of the Capture of New Orleans. FORTRESS MONROE, April 27. To Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Sec'y. of War: A fugitive black, just arrived from Ports mouth, brings the Petersburg Express of yes terday, which contains the following despatch: "Mobile, April 25.—The enemy passed Fort Jackson at 4 o'clock yesterday morning.— When the news reached New Orleans the ex citement was boundless. Martial law was put in full force, and business was completely suspended. All the cotton and steamboats, excepting such as were necessary to transport coin, ammunition, A"-, were destroyed. "At one o'clock to day the telegraph opera tors hade us good bye, saying that the enemy had appeared before the city. This is the last we know regarding the fall. We will send you the particulars as soon as they can be had." The negro hringing the above reports that the rebels have two iron clad steamers nearly completed at Norfolk, and that it is believed that the Merrimac will be out to morrow. JOHN E. WOOL. The Report Confirmed HEADQUARTERS. RAPPAHANNOCK, April 27, 1862. To Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Sec'y. of War: I have just returned from the camp opposite Fredericksburg. I wa9 told that the Rich mond Examiner, of the 26th, had been re ceived in town, announcing as follows : " New Orleans Taken Great Destruction of Property, Cotton, and Steamboats—Enough Steamboats Saved to carry array the Ammuni tion — Great Consternation of the Inhabitants." IRYIN McDOWELL, Maj. Gen. Fortress Monroe, April 28, yia Washing ton.—The flag of truce boat to day took des patches and letters to the United States pris oners at Richmond. No Southern papers were obtained, but it was ascertained that they contain no later news from New Orleans, since the flight of the telegraph operators from that city. The operators attempted to return, but they found the c 'dg occupied bg United States troops. There is r.;> other pews or interest. Washington, April 28.—The following has been received at the War Department : Fortress Monroe, April 28. Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.

M. / To Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Sec. of War: Early this morning an advanced lunette of the rebels, ou this side of the Warwick, near its head, was carried by assault, by Company 11, Ist Massachusetts Hegiment. The works had a ditch six feet deep, with a strong para pet, and was manned by two companies of infantry, but no artillery. Our men moved over open, soft ground, some 600 yards, re ceivcd the fire of the rebels at fifty yards, did not return it, but rushed over the ditch and parapet in the most gallant manner. The rebels broke and ran, as soon as they saw that our men intended to cross the parapet. Our loss is three killed, one mortally and twelve otherwise wounded. We took fourteen prisoners and destroyed the work sufficiently to render it useless and retired. The operation was conducted by General C. Grover, who managed the affair most hand somely. Nothing could have been better than the conduct of all the men under fire The supports, who were also under the ar tillery tire of other works, were companies of the First and Eleventh Massachusetts. Ip spite of the rain our work progresses well. G. B. MCCLELLAJC, Major General. HARRISONBURG, Va., April 27. Yesterday afternoon the pickets of Col. ltonnelly's Brigade, stationed eight miles hence on the Gordonville road, were attack ed by a large force of Col. Ashby's rear guard, and driven back. One man named Isaac Kelly, of the 46th Pennsylvania reg iment, was killed, and three others were wounded. The reserve of the 46th Pennsylvania regi ment, and a section of Hampton's battery, then advanced and repulsed the rebels.— They retreated to a wood, where several of our shells burst in their very midst. A wagon was seen gathering up and carrying off their dead and wounded. Jackson's main body is encamped near the east bank of the Shenandoah. The bridge over the river was strongly picket ed by him, and underlaid with inflammable matter, ready to fire on our approach. The War in North Carolina. The N. Y- Times correspondent tele graphs : WASHINGTON, April 23.—Capt. Cut ting* of Gen. Burnside's staff, arrived here to day with despatches to the Government. He states that Gen. Reno commanded the national forces at the late rcconnoisance to Elisabeth City. Capt Cutting saw Gen. Reno just before leariag the Sound, and I learn from him the following particulars of the affair. Oa Thursday, the 17th iost, Gen. Reno left Newbern and proceeded to Roanoke Island, from whiek pkee he took about two thousand naeu and proceeded to Eliza beth City, where a strong rebel force was reported to be intrenching themselves. On Saturday an advauce was made upon the rebels. The enemy opened fire with their artillery as soon as our troops made their appearance, and from all appearances thought they had us in a trap of our own making. Our troops immediately formed in line of battle, and charged on the enemy, who ran at the first fire. Our troops im mediately took possession of the town, and after remaining there for a lew hours, re tired to the main army. Our force was about two thousand men, under General Reno, and three boat how itzers, under Col. Howard, fhe force of the rebels consisted of a Georgia regiment, numbering eleven hundred men, a portion of Wise's Legion, and two batteries of ar tillery. Theenemy was totally routed, with a loss of about sixty men. Our loss is about twelve killed and forty eight woun ded. Col. Hawkins of the New York Zou aves, received a slight flesh wound in the arm. The Adjutant of Col. Hawkins'reg iment was reported killed. Capt. Cutting reports the general health of the troops to be good, and says the weather is very fine, but of course much warmer than in more Northern climates. The men have taken a strong fancy to the j Southern climate, and enjoy themselves finely while off duty. Important Movement in the West—Another j Railroad Bridye Destroyed. The Navy Department has received des ; patches from Commodore Foote, enclosing a j report from Lieut. Commanding Gwin, dated the 14th, in which he says: " The Tyler and Lexington conveyed two ' transports, containing two thousand troops of infaptry and cavalry, under command of Gen. Sherman, to Chickasaw, Alabama, where they disembarked, and proceeded immediate ly to Bear creek bridge, the crossing of the Memphis and Charleston railroad, for the purpose of destroying it, and as much of the i tressel work as they could burn. " The expedition was entirely successful. j The bridge, consisting of two spans of 110 J feet each, was completely destroyed—that is. | the superstructure —together with some £>oo j of tressel work, and a half a mile of telegraph | lino. The rebels made a feeble resistance to j our cavalry—l2o in number—but soon basti > ly retreated, losing four killed. The United j States troops suffered no loss. FROM FORT PILLOW. [Special Correspondence of the Chicago Times.] OFF FORT PII,LOW, > MISSISSIPPI RIVER, April 18. j The investment of the fourth great Rebel stronghold on the Mississippi river by the army and navy of the Federal Union is now fairly commenced, and its reduction is but a j question of time. I send you with this a map > showing the situation of the Rebel works, to- ! gether with the topography of the adjacent I country, with the position of our fleets and j land forces, as well as those of the enemy. Fort Pillow is situated upon tiie east or j Tennessee hanks of the Mississippi, up the ' face of the First Chickasaw Bluffs— a range t of high headlands reaching an altitude in ' some piaces of one hundred feet above the ! low water mark of the river. These bluff-, ! are of peculiar formation, rising to a height j of fifty feet, and then failing hack from twen ( ty t i thirty feet—forming a table or levelspace j —beyond which they again rise abruptly to ! their greatest altitude. Upon this table the | principal of the Rebel works are situated— j though there are one or two small batteries i sunk in the hank below, after the manner of ! the shore batteries at Doaclsoa. The works were commenced early last 'ummer, and com- { pleted hefuie the commencement of operations i at Columbus. They were originally intended 1 to mount on a hundred guns, which number I were at one time actually in position there ; j but the greater number were subsequently j withdrawn for use at Columbus and Island ■ No. 10, Icavipg the present armament—as re 1 ported by deserters—but twenty guns. These ; are, however, mostly of heavy calibre, inclu- j ding one 13 inch Armstrong piece. The gar rison of the place, according to the best infor mation that can be obtained, does not exceed five thousand. The work* upon the land are supported by a fleet of six or eight gunboats, of which the ' old screw revenue cutter Mcßae is the flag- \ ship. This fleet is under the immediate com. ! mand of the traitor Hollins. Besides the J Mcßae, he has in his fleet the captured Span- ! ish or Mexican war vessel Marquis de la Ila- j bana, and five or six old New Orleans tow i boats, the 6ides of which are protected by a single tier of railroad iron placed in an up right position upon the main or boiler deck, and leaning against the upper or saloon deck, and forming an inclination not dissimilar in angle to, though much higher than, our gun ! boats. Upon a line dropped from the upper to the lower deck, falling front four to six leet ! inside of the outer edge of the main deck, j they have constructed a substantial timber bulkhead, extending along the sides of the j boilers and engines, between which and the iron casemates bales of cotton are packed, ! thus furnishing a very formidable wall, capa- i ble of resisting any ordinary cannon shot. The fronts of the vessels are similarly barri- j caded. The prows are sharpened and sheathed with heavy iron, and to each is attached a huge knife, designed to cut into and destroy an enemy's vessel. This class of boats mount, some four and others six guns. The two first mentioned carry much larger armaments —the Mcßae being reported to have fourteen guns aboard. It seems a little strange that with vessels of such a formidable character the rebels should shrink from a contest with our gunboats. Yet such appears to be the case. One would think they would at least desire a triulef the strength of their boats; and such did appear tube their desire at first. On Sunday morning last they appeared in front of our gunboat fleet—which was moored in Needham's Cut-cff, half way between New Madrid and Fort Pillow—where they appeared anxious to give battle. When first seen they were beyoud the reach of our guns, and Com. Foote, in order to ooax them a little nearer, drew his fleet up around a bend in the river, a ruse intended to deceive the enemy, and which worked most admirably, for no sooner did they see our fleet moving up the stream, as they supposed, than they gave chase, imagining that Com. Foote was seeking to escape them. But as soon as they came within rabge they were undeceived i a round from the stern guns of the BP * followed by the discharge of the stern fU r tur ; all our fifeet. They rounded to quick!v started down the stream. The Federal fr 4 rounded to as quiekly as possible, and,*? charged the bow guns of all the boats i c sueeessiou. The enemy replied with * shots, which all felt wUTe of their mark occupied the rest of their time in haste to escape the Yankee hornets TT 5 chase that followed was iot wli-ttle while hi h ly exciting, but the superior speed of rebel boats soon placed them bev 0n d reach and sight. " * Here was an admirable opportunity to w the relative strength of the two fl .ts/aodL apparently that they had chosen. But tU formidable appearance of our boats and th character of the metal that they carrU frightened them badly. They ran iously. Nor dare tb*y show themselves „'' away from the protecting care of the butt - ies on the Chickasaw Bluffs. Our entire fleet—gunboats, mortars ar army transports—arrived at their mooring on Sunday afternoon. On Sunday morn--- the mortar boats were placed in position, that afternoon was consumed in ascertain ! the correct range of the enemy's works! h the accomplishment of this "object eight! shells were thrown, a number of which f. : with great accuracy in the midst of the reh-' batteries, but no response was nude. n r * Tuesday at noon the firing was resumed,at!" during that afternoon sixty five shells wet,, thrown from the mortars, harrassing rh ev enly to such an extent that they opened their batteries in reply, and displayed some exce" lent gunnery, though fortunately, withuu; doing the slightest damage. Throughout Wednesday there was no firing on On Thursday afternoon the firing wasresuui. Ed on both sides, and was continued with much vigor nearly all night. No out wa. hurt on our side, but what is the- result of th; rebels is not known. The St. Louis Democrat, of Wednesday last, says: " Our latest advices from Com. Foote'sflee: are up to Thursday evening. A gentleman who left there at that t me informs us that a slow bombardment is still progres.-ing, the fort exchanging occasional shots with th mortar and gunboats. Deserters say that our 13 inch shell have given the rebels consider able annoyance, and compelled them to move their camps back out of range. They sav al so that a portion of Gen. Price's* army on their route through Memphis to Corinth were detailed to come up to Fort Pillow. "Gen. Pope has gone to Gen. Ilalleck with abirnt 20,000 men, leaving with Corn.
