General 111 , Clellan's Official Report-. R ebels Totally Routed--Details of the Bat tle--One Thousand Prisoners. _Yesterday morning Gen. McClellan ordered four regiments, the Eighth, Tenth and Thirteenth Indi ana, and the Nineteenth Ohio, to proceed along the line of the hills southeast of the enemy's intrenched camp on the Beverly road, where it crosses Rich's Mountain, 2 miles east of the enemy's position, with orders to advance along the Beverly road, and attack the east side of the work, Gen. McClellan being pre pared to assault the west side, as soon as the firing should announce the commencement of the attack. The capture of a courier, who mistook the road through the enemy's camp for the route of our troops, placed the enemy in possession of the move ment. When Gen. Rosencranz reached the Beverly road at 2 o'clock, after a most exhausting march over the mountains, he found the enemy posted on the oppo site side of the road, about 800 strong, with two can non, holding a strong position partially fortified. .An engagement with the enemy took place, and continued three-fourths of an hour, when the rebels were totally routed, with a loss of 300, including 10 officers and both cannon. About 75 of the killed and 75 wounded ate in our hands, besides 150 prisoners. The road was between two hills. Our troops de scending a steep declivity were greatly exposed to the fire of the rebels, who occupied the opposite hill, and poured their musketry shot and shell upon them. Gen. Roseneranz's column remained at the place of the engagement during the night. Gen. 'McClellan was in position with his whole force during the afternoon, ready to make the as• intuit, but heard nothing from the other column ex cept distant firing early in the morning. lie was proceeding to plant his cannon upon an eminence commanding a portion of the rebel camp, and preparing to attack the whole nest in front, when it was ascertained that the enemy had evacu ated the place during the night, moving towards Laurel Hill, leaving behind a few men with their sick and their cannon, camp equipage and transpor tation. A rapid march was then made by Gen. McClellan to Beverly, passing Gen. Rosencranz's command on the road, with instructions to follow quickly. At Beverly it was ascertained late in the day that the rebel forces at Laurel Rill had retreated, mov ing towards Romney. Our total loss is not more than 11 killed and 35 wounded. The foregoing report has been approved by Gen. McClellan. THE REPORT OF GEN. M'CLELLAN TO LIEU TENANT GENERAL SCOTT. BEVERLY, Va., jul y 13 I have received from Pegram propositions for sur render, with his officers and the remnant of his com mand, say six hundred men. They are said to be extremely penitent, and determined never again to take up arms against the General Government. I shall have nearly nine hundred or one thousand prisoners to take care of when Pegram comes in. The latest accounts make the loss of the rebels in killed some one hundred and fifty. OFFICIAL REPORT OF GENERAL M'CLELLAN WASHINGTON, July 13. The following dispatch from Gen. M' Malian was received to•day at the army headquarters : Ilavvattr, July 12, 1.861C01. H. D. Townsend, Washington D. C.—The success of to-day is all that I could desire. We captured six brass cannon, of which one is rifled, all the camp equipage. and transportation, even to his cups. The number of tents will.probably reach two hundred, and more than sixty wagons, Their killed and wounded will amount to fully 150, with 100 prisoners, and more coming in constantly. I know already of ten officers killed and prisoners. Their defeat is complete. I occupied Beverly by a rapid march. Garnett abandoned his camp early in the morning, leaving much of his equipage. He came within a few miles of Beverly, but our rapid march turned him back in great confusion, and he is now retreating on the mad to St. George. I ordered Gen. Morris to follow him up closely. I have telegraphed for the two Pennsylvania regi ments at Cumberland to join Gen Hill at Rowlesburg. The General is concentrating all his troops at Rowles burg, and will cut off Garnett's retreat near West Union, or, if possible, at St. George. I may say that we have driven out some 10,000 troops, strongly entrenched, with the loss of 11 killed and 35 wounded. The provision returns here show Garnett's force to have been 10,000 men. They were Eastern Virginians, Tennesseans, Georgians, and, I think, Carolinians. To-morrow I can give full details as to prisoners, &o. I trust that Gen. Cox has by this time driven Wieo out of the Kanawha valley. In that case I shall have accomplished the object of liberating Western Virginia. I lope the General in Chief will approve of my operations. (Signed,) .G. B. M'CLELLAN, Maj. Gen. Commanding Department of Ohio. STILL LATER NEWS-ANOTHER BATTLE GEN. GARNETT KILLED. A despatch from Cincinnati, yesterday, states that another battle was fought near St. George on Sun day, and Gen. Garnett, the rebel commander, killed. Nem G. was a member of the last Congress from Virginia. j Gen. McClellan was rapidly pushing forward with his command. STOP THIEF I The Intelligencer of yesterday is out in a defence of the Secession Legislature of Mary. land.—Lancaster Examiner, of Wednesday. Not a word of truth in the allegation, Mr. Histrrartp. The Intelligencer it alike op posed to the Secession Legislature of Mary. land, and to the unprincipled, corrupt, pecu. letting, rascally Legislature of - Pennsylvania. The-fivo States would be well rid of them, if they were all (we except the few honest Dem6_crats - among them) transported to Botany Bay, or some other equally celebrated region for the reception , of traitors, thieves and .robbers.. • - THE ADMINISTRATION LEADER TILiDDEITB STEvzra, the Representative in Cthigress from this district, is the ClAirman of the Committee of Ways and Means in the H 01289 9fliepiesentatives.

This,' together with a similar attack made uporiviiby the of Wednesday last, is onezeason why we *wilco tbacoimm : . niestion st all, 'Air we have long elaeriiefired to pay any attenticinto4be crabbed little curs who are in the habit of basking at our heels. Were we to omit noticing this attack, how- )-some' we plead guilty to the indictment. The writer, who has evidently studied what the lawyers osll special pleaditit to more - ad: vantage than he has history, ancient or modern, sets out by an allusion to the con spiracy of Cataline in - the_ ancient Roman Republiiii. • But: where was the necessity of going hick two thousan d years to hunt up a character to . enit i lhis i nfamous purppse? He might hive 'found -nmderri traitors and eon spirators by the dozen in his own party—we mean that portion of it led by such men as THADDEUS STEVENS, HORACE Gawarr •Ic Co. (Per the conservative portion of the" Repub! ban party we have the highest reaped, and these strictures .are not intended for them.) He should have commenced his researches with the.treasonable attempt of the Hartford Con ventionists' 'of 1814, who essayed to secede from the Unitm and establish a Confederation tOth:five stars for its flag—one for each of the New England' Stafes - concerned. in the con spiracy. He might then—paasing by some minor attempts'at treason—have come down to 1838, when his idol, THADDEUS STEVENS, and his minions attempted to overturn the Constitution of the State, -set at nought the solemn decision of the people of Pennsylvania, and revolutionize the government by an appeal to buckshot and ball and the bayonets of the soldiery—for all of which they and their exem plars of 1814 ought to have suffered the highest penalty known to the law, as the conspirators against the Union at the present day should do. He might then have hunted up the records of the Mexican war, and would have found hundreds of traitors to their own coun try who openly sympathized with the enemy, and their representatives in Congress unfeel ingly refused to vote supplies to save our gallant troops from starvation in that far off field of carnage and battle. He might then have looked at the short but inglorious reign of Know-Nothingism, in 1854-5, and found thousands of traitors who were ready to ' trample under foot the Constitution of the United States and proscribe ,a large portion of their fellow-citizens on account of their birth-place and religion. After accomplishing his search in that direction, his next stopping place might have been in the Presidential campaign , of 1856, when thousands of his party in the Northern States, and some in his own county of Lancaster, prOclaimed their hostility to the glorious flag of our Union, by marching under one bearing only sixteen stars (one for each free. State) upon its folds. This was treason of the deepest dye. And if all these instances would not suffice, he might take up the record of the last Con gress, and find more than one of hie Republi. can friends proclaiming boldly and unblush ingly to the world that they would look on with composure and see this blessed Union " shivered into ten thousand fragments," rather than that there should be any compro mise of our National difficulties. He might also notice the efforts being made by hie Re publican friends to suppress the freedom of speech and of the press, and the right of petition, all of which attempts are in direct conflict with the provisions of the Constitution, and will never be submitted to by the Ameri- BEVERLY, July 12 can people All these things, and numerous other trea sonable-attempts made against the Constitu tion and the Union, can alone be laid at the door of the Abolition wing of the so called Republican party ; and yet they, forsooth, with unparalleled effrontery, now claim to be, par excellence, the friends, and only real friends of both, and wickedly and maliciously stigmatize the great body of the Democracy of the free States—many thousands of whom are now fighting the battles of the country— as traitors and disunionistal These men who now prate so loudly in favor of civil war to preserve the Union, have always been traitors to their own country when engaged in hostili ties with a foreign foe, and for the truth of this declaration we appeal to the history of the country for the last fifty years. Out upon such hypocritical pretenders ! There ought to be a whip placed in every honest man's hand "to lash the rascals naked round the world." And now a few plain words in reference to the personal attack made upon our humble self by this black-hearted Republican—for he is none other, we care not by what name he chooses to call himself. Possibly he may be a recent convert to the Abolition wing of the Republican party, as led by STEVENS, and GIDDINGS, and SEWAED, and BURLINGAME, and WADE, and BEECHER, and GREELEY and WEN DELL PHILLIPS ; and we should not wonder if he is, because new converts to any political faith are always the loudest brawlers in favor of their adopted dogmas, and most foul mouthed and fiendish in their abuse of the men and the party with whom they formerly pretended to act. But whativer and whoever he may be, we pronounce every charge and inuendo he has made against us, in the article referred to, from beginning to end, a tissue of base falsehoods and misrepresentations, and the author of them a skulking, cowardly, malignant slanderer, who knew them to be such when he penned them. Amongst other things he charges us with publishing a " gar bled extract" from a speech delivered in Congress, in 1848, by the present President of the United States. If it be garbled, as he alleges, why did he not give the correct ver sion ? Why not show from the authenticated record itself, that we have misrepresented Mr. LINCOLN ? If he had done so, we should have been prompt to make the amends honorable, for we never have and never will, knowingly and wilfully as our maligner has done, mis represent any man, be he political friend or foe,.l3ut he "cannot do it—there's the rub, and hence he seeks to throw duet in the eyes of the people by vituperative slanders and unmitigated falsehoods and misrepresenta tions. I3ut we will not dwell upon this part of the subject any- longer, •inasmuch as the pent-up malignity' of the writer had to - find a . vent somewhere, or, like the frOg in the fable, he would`have exploded from over excitement . _ Our position now is precisely what it was on the day news was received of-the attack upon Fort Sumter by-the Secessionists. We are in favor now, -as we, were then, and-have been all along, of-upholding thnglorious banner of the Republic, without permitting a single star to be obliterated or a stripe erased from its ample folds; and we are for tin integrity and permanency of the Union and the Constitution, which is more' than the Abolition wing of the Republican party can - trulifilly say'fiiithemselves. We are op. posed to ,Secession-in any and. every shape and form it presents itself, and - "that is' more than their leaders can say. We are in-favor of investing the government with men and Means to .'prosecute! this, war fay_ the Union witlfitll the energy and power possible, semi" to bring it to a speedy conclusion, (if no hon- Si WILEABOE ur ova 31111111 V, orable adjustment of the difficulties can be made,) and that is more than many of the hamp followers and plundering cantiaotots of the dominant party can say. We are f i4Onet treason, and traitors 'to the , Union in every shape and form-whether hailingfrom ilia : South of,the North—and thistle more than the Abolition leadtis, with whOrn our &Salutes, oaquul with truth forthemseyes. Welenomloud with our voicit'and our-pen - the bold and bad men, then and now in pimpr, 'who sought to trample upon the Constitution of the State and the rights of the dur- 11 - the - stormy - daya — of the - everm6niOttibla and infanioniAltankabot War," when'tietiion was atlast mada_to_cosver-before the migh tg npriaing of the 4ileat _people of_ Pennayl, We also denounced with our voice and our pen the wicked and trepaanable_organization of Know Nothings„who sought in 1854 and 1855 to violate the Constitution of our common country by making a man's birth-place and religion a test of his'qualifications for citizen ship. „. In 1856 we denounced that portion of the Republican party who traitorously cussed from their banners fifteen of the bright stars af our political constellation, representing the fifteen Southern St r atee of the Confederacy ; and in 1860, we did not fail to warn the people that the "irrepressible Conflict" doctrines . of WILLIAM 11. &Winn atid ABEARAM LINCOLN —so much at variance with the whole tenor and spirit of our Constitution—would bent, tably lead to a , rupture of the Union, if -en dorsed at - the polls by the people of the Northern States. Nay more. We, in common with the great Demooratio party of the country, have always been for the Union, and are now for it. We have never entertained a treasonable thought in our bosom. Every pulsation of our heart has been for the perpetuation of the great fabric of freedom handed down to us from our Revolutionary fathers. We*would have pre ferred to see the welfare and happiness of our common countii restored by peaceful means, if it were practicable; but as that now appears to be out of the question, we are for a vigorous and energetic iirosecution of the war to, put, an end to the rebellion in the shortest time possible. We have sustained the Administra tion in all its legitimate war -measures, and will continue to - do. so ; but we have not lost our identity as a Democrat, and by the help of God we never -intend to. The support of the Government in the legitimate prosecution of this war, does not make it obligatory upon either as or the' Democratic party to satiation all it does outside of that; because we cannot conscientiously do eo. The Democratic party never can become abolitionized, and this our. Republican brethren may as well be made to understand first as last. The attacks made by the Republican leaders and their ally above alluded to, on the freedom of speeoh and of the press and the right of petition, we will resist to the utmost of our ability ; and reit erate the pledge, as the editor of a public journal which 'suffered for its opposition to similar unconstitutional measures during the reign of terror inaugurated by' the elder Adams more than sixty years ago, to resist such tyranny-zio the death, if necessary. If this be treason, we reply, in the language of the celebrated Ntrick Henry, let our enemies make the most of it. Now, then, we have said much more than we intended when we commenced to write.— We regret the necessity of making any reply at all to such base and slanderous attacks, especially at this time when union and har mony are so essential ; but it has been forced upon us, and we have done so mainly at the request of a number of our Democratic friends, all of whom feel that the slanders are aimed at them as well as at ourself. The writer talks flippant 4 of "ropes" and "gibbets!' Let the poltroon come on with them at once, and we promise in advance that he shall be charged nothing for his trouble. We shall give him a hearty Democratic welconie when ever or wherever ho essays to put his craven threat into execution. WANTS TO TAX THE NECESSARIES The Secretary of the Treasury, in his late report to Congress, says that it will take $318,519,581.87 the present year to carry on the Government and prosecute the present unfortunate civil war, in which our country is engaged. To raise this amount of money and provide means to pay the interest on it seems to perplex him. He proposes that a portion of it be raised by direct taxation, by levying a tax on real and personal- estate, as .heavy as the people will stand. This being inadequate, Mr. Chase casts about for other means, •and seems to come to the, conclusion that the poorer classes had better be taxed excessively to pay the leeches who are making fortunes out of the War Depart ment, and therefore proposes to increase the duties on the, necessaries of life, by raising the tariff on sugar, coffee, tea and molasses. He recommends to Congress to levy a duty of 2i- cents a .pound on brown- sugar, 4 cents on refined sugar, 6 cents a gallon on molasses, 4 cents on sour molasses, 5 cents per pound on coffee, and 15 cents per pound on black • tea and 20 cents on green tea. So, if Congress consents, the poor man is not only to fight the battles of his country, but to bear the brunt of the war debt by having to pay the increased tax on the necessaries of life, while his rich neighbor is to have his luxuries at present rates. This is Republican equality. We hope we shall not be charged with treason for say ing so. MAJOR, GEIITERAL•ROBERT PATTER. Major General Robert Patterson was born in Ireland in 1792, and _emigrated to this country when quite young taking up his abode in. Philadelphia. He received .a eol legiate education, and early manifested mili tary inclinations. After graduating at College he was appointed First Lieutenant in the Twenty-secund. regiment of regular United States Infantry ; in April, 1813, he was trans ferred to the Thirty-aeeond Infantry ; appoint ed Assistant Depot Quartermaster General (with the rank. of Captain,) Januiry,'l:Bl3, and Captain-in-line, 1814, - • and thereupon' relinquished (rank in the staff. He retired from the array in the same year upon the disbandinent of his regiment. ; He' eubse qaently rollo , ared the profession , of . the law in hie adopted city, andfor many years was con pecte'd with the military of Philadelphia.

No one then would have had the temerity to speak of. those - rotten blankets, shoes filled with shavings, unsavory and rotten pork; trowsers that fell to pieces in in two days' wear, uniforms that cost $1.7,00, which any honest dealer would haie made for $5 ; all this could have been "kept dark," no one being allowed to ventilate it'without being liable to be , hung for his pains. Every one of the thousands of soldiers that wrote so eloquently and so denunciatory of the villains that wronged them would have been tried for treason. For it is well known that the most I scathing rebukes of these. robbers have come from the volunteers themselves, who, accord ing to the views of the Telegraph, are all guilty of "sneaking treason." If this be trea son—if the exposure of such frauds constitute such an offence, how soon will it be Mr. Tele graph, before you, along with your brethren of the press, will have to submit to a' censor ship that will consign to the prison or the gallows any editor who dares expose a dishonest administration. THE TREASURY REPORT The estimates submitted by Secretary Chase for thelrear ending June 30, 1861, amount, in cluding the previous appropriations, to, $318,- 519,581.87- This amount the Secretary pro poses to raise by an increase of the tariff, by direct taxation to the amount of $80,000,000, and a loan of $240,000,000. The Secretary proposes that, e duty of 2i-o. per pound be laid on brown , sugar, of '3O. per pound on clayed sugar, of 4c. per pound on loaf and other refined sugars ; of 2ic. per pound on the syrup of supr cane; of 6c. per pound on candy ;.of 60. per gallon on molasses, and of -4c. per gallon on sour molasses; and it is also Troposed that aduty of 50. per, pound be imposed on coffee, 15 cents per pound on black tea and 200. per pound on green tea. With these and other changes in the revenue, the Secretariestimates that the total receipts' f the tariff for the year may be made to reach $60,000,000.. To raise the sum of $20,000,000 of 'dollars by direct taxation from the States which have not seceded would require a rate of one•fifth of one per cent. on the real and personal property under the valuation of 1860; . which it must be remembered has depreciated from 30 to 60 per cent. by the present political and financial crisis. Indeed, the Secretary admits the force of this objection ; but suggests-that the needed sum may be obtained by a tax on articles of luxury, or from moderate charges on stills and distilled liquors, on ale and beer, on tobacco, on bank notes, on spring carriages, on silver ware and jewelry,. and on legacies. In conclusion, the Secretary suggests that a part or whole of the property of the insurgents or those giving them aid and comfort be for feited, and the proceeds paid into th‘ public treasury. He urges a reduction of thd current disbursements of the government, including a decreaseof 40 per cent, in the salaries of gov. ernment officials. The abolition of the frank ing privilege is also suggested. TREASONABLE ATTACKS The continued attacks of the New York Times and Tribune upon the administration and upon General SCOTT, for not pushing for— ward our troops and giving battle to the rebels on their own chosen ground, are utterly reck— less and shameless. If not the legitimate offspring of ignorance, these assaults are dictated by a treasonable desire to give aid and comfort to the enemy by involving our forces in defeat. We hope Gen. Scary will take his time end perfect his arrangements without regard to the buzzing of his . insect tormentors. The people have confidence that, let. the' 'blow fall when it will, it'will be n crusher. And they can see, what the military geniuses of the New• York press fail , to appreciate, that we are defeating the rebels ,every day—that-. their resources are becoming rapidly exhausted, so that when the impending blow falls our vic— tory will be complete, and obtained at a trifling sacrifice of life. Hemmed in, discouraged-and demoralized, a single- battle 'may - speedily decide the issue, whereas a month ago it would only have inaugurated 'a long 'and 'vexatious guerilla warfare. The public can afford to wait; and will choose to place confidence in the wisdom and trirdtary judgment of Gen. _Senn rather than in the pretentious vaporings of the selfiappointed lieutenant generals in „New York. If he does not move upon Richmond , for three months to come, it will besfor, good andsufficientreasons, and the delay will be I justified by the ; American people.

Bartode Union Guards,,of this city, was wounded by the accidental discharge of a pistol, at Camp Wayne. He was standing In frontof a young man who was handling a vevolver, and who, not awareof its being a self-cocker, polled the trigger, discharging the weapon, the ball - of which struck the young man in 'the side. Fortunately, his• • shirt 'was doubled up where the ball striick, and it merelyanterod the skin and then fell at his feet. We have not been able to find out the name of the person thus in jured, but it is unimportant, as the Injury was very slight, and need not give any one the least uneasiness, as it prob- ably did not interfere with his regular duties at all: We hope this narrow escape will be a warning to our volun teers at Camp Wayne to be more careful in future, as it was only by accident that this case did not result in a-dan gerous and perhaps even fatal wound. Norton.--The Gift Enterprise of Austin & Wehrly, founded upon the sale of the Steel Plate Engrav ing of "The Lord's Prayer," which has been advertised in different papers of this city and elsewhere, has been de• leyed, because of the limited sale of engravings, consequent upon the present national troubles. It will be necersary for the proprietors to continue the time, to enable those of the public who may yet be desirous of purchasing the en graving and taking a chance in the enterprise to do so, and that the Dr.Prlotors, owing to the hard times, may perfect their arrangements. The time now fixed is the let of October, at which time the distribution will positively take place. Editors of newspapers will continue to adver tise the enterprize, and those who have not yet received the engraving of the Lord's Prayer framed will have them sent this week. The public are thus given a further op portunity of availing themselves of this excellent enter prize. Send on one dollar at once, with four red stamps to pay postage on engraving, and secure a copy, as it should find its way into every family, and in all probabil ity may be the only opportunity you will ever have to pro- cure a copy of this plate.

Union• Square, that we - trust was either pot seriously entertained, or had its origin in the, excitement of the _moment. It was nothing more or less thin a recommendation of the policy which England has -pnrsued tiwards Ireland. The speaker -expressed - .himself in favor of taking away the plantations from the Southern owners and bestowing _them,' as land bounties upon the Northern soldiers. The idea, as ; we have intimated, is not an original one, aa it wee partially carried into effect against the people of Ireland, and as a means by which that people were to be utterly exterminated. For our part, we protest against snob a wholesale system of spoliation—a system which is calcu lated to plunge the country irremediably into a war that this generation may never see the end of, and, to arouse feelings of hatred and revenge that may live through centuries. The proposition to which we have referred is, however, comparatively mild in its character when compared with the suggestion that has been published in one or two of our New York daily papers. It is nothing more or less than a proposal to incite the negroes to insurrection, and; by'se doing, to precipitate the Southern portion of our country into all the horrors of a servile war. This would be to re-enact on our own soil the fiendish brutalities recorded in the history of St. Domingo. It would be to rouse the savage negroes against our brothers in race and blood ; it would be to countenance atrocities and barbarities at the sight of which our whole country would stand appalled; it would be to encourage the whole black population of the South to rise in arms against the whites, to murder women and children, to massacre helpless infancy and age, and to give. a license to the excesses and cruelties which characterize all negro insur rections. * * * * * * Have we now sunk so low in the scale of humanity, have we so far forgotten our obli gations as Christian then, even before we have rightly entered into the heat of the conflict, to calmly tolerate or sanction a proposition as fiendish and as inhuman as that against which the elder Pitt raised his voice ? MR. CHASE'S TARIFF. The Philadelphia Bulletin thus speaks of the Revenue Bill proposed by. the Secretary of the Treasury : "It is unfortunate that it is necessary to resort to a duty on Tea, Coffee, Molasses and. Sugar, and yet we are not prepared to say that it can be avoided. ,Some more indirect plan of taxation would, no doubt, be more popular, and if such an one could be devised by the wit of Secretary Chase, he would, no doubt, be a more popular man. Yet, we have so much confidence in the patriotism of our people as to believe that if it is their conviction that such a tax is necessary to the successful carrying on the war, they will pay it cheerfully, feel ing it to bo a privilege to do something for their country. "We must express our sincere regret that Mr. Chase has meddled with the existing tariff in regard to iron and steel, by attempting to lower the duties instead of raising them:— The Morrill Bill has not had a fair trial.— Business has been so much depressed, that all importations have ruled low, and we see no reason, but everything to the contrary, in this unfortunate attempt to injure Pennsylvania and all the other iron producing districts. "There is an attempt to lower the duties separately on pig iron, bar iron, railroad iron and steel. Now we ask the Secretary and. Congress, who must pass judgment on this Bill, what State has been more patriotic than Pennsylvania? What State has offered troops more freely, or poured out her treasure more lavishly? Why then this attempt, when bus iness everywhere is depressed, to cripple our resources ? We trust that Mr. Stevens, who is at the head of the Committee on Ways and Means, will strike out this provision of the. Bill before it is reported, and that if this is not done, it will be resisted by every member who values domestic industry." • le- We trust that we shall not be charged with treason, bedamie we have copied the above extract. The Bulletin is good Republican authority, and is one of the papers, in con nection with the New York Tribune, whose teachings are gospel with the Republican party. FOREIGN NEWS The steamship Canada, from Liverpool, which reached Halifax, on Wednesday, brings news to the 30th ult. In the; House of Com mons, in relation'to the-right of New Grenada or the Grenadian Confederation to close ports, Lord John Russell said that in case of rebel lion government had a right to close the ports, but when in civil war, they were actually occupied by insurgents, the step. could not be legally taken. The:British naval - commander, therefore, would not recognize the right of closing of ports. Napoleon, in recognizing the independence. of- Italy, withholds his ap proval of the past policy of the cabinet of Turin. The Pope was seriously ill. The new Sultan had issued a proclamation de claring he would follow the present foreign policy of the Turkish government, and intro duce great reforms in favor of all subjects, without religious, distinction.

THE WAR IN arissotai. Sr.Lown,,,July 10. A speoial meseengetariiiidihert this eve ning by the Pacillo railway; with despatches from Col. Siegel M . :Adjutant Harding, at ,the `The following is an abstrackwritten at.

SAOrnan'e, Eindsten pieces oftnstillery--ill all about 1,100.t0 1,200 men, were attacked by 6,000 rebels tieder Gen. Raines and Col. Par sons about seven miles east of Carthage. The enemy had many mounted men. .—Siegel—begani-the action- at baltryast nine in the morning, breaking the enemy's centre twice, and after an hour's fighting, sikiiiiSeit-tWr-artillery. The rebels bad three flags, one of the State of Missouri, and two of the Confederate States. The latter were twice shot down, and were raised no more. — The enotny tritd to outflank our troops with heir eatvallry,, anti:out off the retreat of our baggage, but Siegel made a retreating move— 'tient,- keeping . , up a constant firing, and ordered' he . badage_traiti to advance, which was formed into columns, with, the battalion of infantry, supported by four pieces of artillery in front and on the flanks. The rebels then attempted to cut off his communication with their cavalry, but our artillery took them at a cross fire, which played havoo with their ranks, and, opened a road. Col. Siegel then fell back on Carthage, the enemy harrassing his flank up to the town, where another stand was made. The rebels being in possession of the place, Siegel sur— rounded the town, throwing shell and grenades into the enemy's cavalry, and using his in— fantry with great effect. While attempting to reach an adjacent wood, to prevent the use of their cavalry, the rebels made thelnost serious attack, and there . the bloodiest part of the battle was fought ; but the enemy were finally routed, and forced to withdraw.. Siegel then fell back on Mount. Vernon, where he could besupported. The sole Rapture was an officer, who was taken about five o'clock. He reported the enemy's loss at 250 ; . bat, as the severest fight took place subsequeht to hie capture it is believed their loss is considerably greater. • • Forty-five prisoners were taken. Our loss is eight killed and forty five wounded and missing. The battle in which Colonel Wolff was killed, was fought on Saturday, thirty miles from Springfield. The Springfield correspondent of the Demo— crat says under date of the 6th, that immedi— ately after the arrival of Brigadier General Sweeney at Springfield,-he dispatched a mes— senger to Colonel Siegel and Solomans, who were encamped at Neosho, to move their col— umns to Carthage, which' was promptly done. Last night a messenger arrived from Col. Siegel stating that Gov. Jackson and Generale Price and Raines had'united their forces about 4,000 strong, and were encamped eight' miles north of Carthage. Siegel and Solomans pushed forward rapidly, attacked the rebel forces early yesterday morning, and con— tinued fighting during the day. Messengers are continually arriving, bring— . ing inforn - mtion that the rebels are retreating southwardly between Larcorie and Mount Vernon, falling back to eassville with their baggage and plunder under* the cover of their cannon, and that Siegel is attacking their rear. This afternoon Gen. Sweeney commands in person, and a flying column is moving South— wardly to intercept the rebels at Verona, thus crushing them completely between our col— umns. Large bodies of mounted men are congre— gating on the Western Plains and at Forsythe with the intention of joining Jackson's force, but Gen. Sweeney has sent a detachment of 250 mounted men through Douglas county, to prevent their union and drive them back. Gen. M'Bride's command and a company of Home Guards arrived last night, bribging Col. Coffee, late a member of the Legislasure, as a prisoner. Later advices say that a report reached Springfield on Saturday morning, of an en gagement between 500 Federals, under Col. Wolff, and about 1500 rebels. Wolff occupied a prairie when the battle begun, but the rebels retreating to the woods, he followed; and, in skirmishing in the timber, lost thirty killed and wounded, he himself be ing among the killed. The loss of the rebels was considerable, but it has not been definite• ly ascertained. THE NORTHERN TRAITORS We suppose that when an incendiary has fired the dwelling he has long been threatening, that even he, base as he has been, looks at the flames with some compunctious visitings. This seems to be the case with those traitors great and small, learned and un learned, who have been accustomed every 4th of July to hold a traitorous saturnalia of abolitionism And disunion in a grove at Framingham; Mass. ' They should have been indicted as distarbers of the public peace and safety years ago. But on the last 4th these worthies, seeing some tangible facts to give them hope of the accomplishment of !their objects are more mild. However some morsel& of the meat on which they feed may be presented. The President of the meeting said : • !,' " The people have already driven the government far beyond its first intentions. The anti-slavery men have done all this, and their office agent, will ing or unwilling, is Abraham Lincoln, and their agent in the field is Winfield Scott. WENDELL PHILLIPS said : • " Cadwalader and Patterson are following in the first footsteps of Butler, , and promise to put dawn servile insurrection's. By the constitution they'hove no right to offer to do so. It is alike unconstitutional and uncalled for. What I ask of Lincoln ,ancb Scott is to 'robukS thOse Generals. At least to hold the scales even, for it has kicked the beam for'slavery for slily years." *-. "Seward is for the Union. _Weis a traitor. Honest elements in the Cabinet suffer themselves tri be compromised and . balanced by one who is power-- ful but known to be treacherous. With Such a man, at the head of the State, I believe we owe the "ab.:.' sauce of compromise to Charles Sumner in the Eon-. ate, and the New. York Tribune in the country. We,. have an honest President, but,' distrusting the . strength of the.popular feeling behind him, he Bs." tens overmuch to. Seward " , , Here is a pretty proposition for a man who invokes God and pretends to love his country. PHILLIPS said : " A defeat that would. madden the North, or a vio tory that would drive the South to unusual despera tion and to reprisalth would force the administration into an emancipation policy. Let us pray that .Jefferson Davis may have life and courage 'and strong battalions spared hisnto bring this question to a head. We speak as abolitionists, not as citi zens only." A truly devilish proposition,—that tin; traitors may be so strong as to win a great battle, so that the North may be maddened to desperation. Our more charitable wishis that PHILLIPS and DAVIS might ornament the same gallows.—. Belfast plains) Journal. HON.
