We Stand by the Old Landmarks, The time for the holding of a County Con vention is drawing neat, and it, therefore, behooves the good and true Republicans of Centre county to be casting about them for good honest workingmen to fill our county offices. We fflip the following cool suggestion frca tbe Central Press of last week: "Tbe time is again crowding upon as when the county Treasury, the Commissioner's uffiee and Ihe Legislature demand new incumbants.— What plan may be devised in order to prevent the drawing of party lines so long as our national dif Acuities may last, we are uuubie to say. Hut, as it is our privilege to suggest, we will recommend that free scope be given to all who desire to fill there offices, to run independent, and no nomina tion oy either party. This plan, in our humble estimation, would most certainly secure the suc i And this appears to us, to be the leadirg object of those who seek to I form this so-calied Union party. Tbe Republican party was formed for a J grand, a glorious purpose. It was organized for the purpose of battling against the eg- j gressions of tbe South, end iu favcr of Free ! l'erritories, free speech and free men. The j history of Kansas and the actions of the se- i ceding States prove how necessary was the organization tf such a party. It was formed j'jst at the right time and succeeded iu time to save the Union and tbe Constitution. Why, then, should we abandon it now ? No, Friends ! We must stand by President Lincoln. We must uphold his Administrate tion and our glorious principles until we have Mtoceeded in bringing back the Government to its pristine purity. To what it was in the days of Jefferson, Jackson, Clay and Web ber. To this end let U9 maintain our organ ization. Let candidates offer their names, subject to the regular Republican Conven tion to b? held at the August Court. If the ncliticiar: will not call such a Convention let the people take it into their own hands— call a Convention -nominate a clean, honest Republic n ticket, and then on the second Tuesday "t October next, elect it amidst the g'oiious B iOuts of free and independent men. The Chicago Tribune announces, on ' unquestionable authority," that Gen. JScott has so fur maiured his plans for the war as Pi inform the President and cabinet that the ompaign will he over iu eleven months from tht day when Fort Sumter was surrendered. We bad heard that he would take twelve months to finish the job. But thirty days more or lets makes no difference. It is cer tainly the old heroe's last campaign, and it vr-ill assuredly be his bes'. Letting Politics Alone. In the Democratic Watchman of May 23d we find an article headed " The Democracy &Rd the Crisis" which gives an account of a Democratic meeting held in Beech Creek township and also the Resolutions passed hy the same. As we were not issuing our pa per at the time, we could not notice it any sooner. After giving the Resolutions in full the ! Ed'tors of the Watchman proceed as follows: j Since >he day for compromise of the un- ! happy differences existing between the North i and the South has seemingly past, the true patriots ind good men of both sections hav ing beetr overt uled in tbe last Congress by the had men in each, we believe these reso lutions to be expressive of the feelings of Democrats everywhere, and of all Republi cans who have not been led astray by the faise teachings of abolition preachers. The second and fourth resolutions we recommend to the careful study of that small band of political agitators to this County, who, in times of peace, have cried war, and now that war is npon us, instead of shouldering their nriuvkets and assisting to fight the battle they have contributed so much to bring abont, eti.l remain at borne and talk about hanging honest Democrats for the expression of their opinions. Verily is the adage true—the men who talks the loudest are not tbe men to fight. The Democratic party has always ravored the settlement of tbe difficulty be tween the North and the South by compro mise as long as there was any possibility of it being accomplished, and are yet in favor of any compromise that would b# honorable for the North to accept, but believing that ! noiie such will be offered they show the r patriotism and devotion to the Union by I rallying to *he defence of the Star Spangled Banner, where fight wages the hottest.— t They, like all true American citizens, will rush to tbe rescue wben our country is in danger and figbt to the bitter end to main tain its honor and those highest and noblest principles of tbo Constitution, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. Now we find fault with no man for differ ing with D 3 in opinion, but at the same time we claim the right to think, to speak and to act as an independent freemen. We do not know when we read a more contemptible piece of slang and falsehood tian is contain ed in the above. Tbe Democratic party, tho Democratic par ty is the conslant cry of these Demagogues. The Democratic party say tbey haye been in favor of Compromise, but tbe day of compro mise bas seemingly past. Yes tbe Demo* cratic party has compromised with slavery, and then violated aud repealed those com, promises, until we find ourselves aud the country in the midst of civil war. But says the Watchman again, " the sec ond and fourth resolution we recommend to those &0., who in times of peace have cried war, and now that tbe war is upou us io stead of shouldering their muskets and assisting to fight the battles they have con tributed so much to bring about Ac., &J.— This we say is a falsehood, and we must call the attention of the Watchman to a few facts, and facts you know are stubborn tbiDgs.— Ist. All Democrats are not secessionists we are happy to say, but every ring leader in this secession Southern rebellion was a Dem ocrat. 2d< No man living can point to a single Republican. North or South who is not opposed to secession or in other words in favor of the constitution as our Fathers made it, the Union one and inseparable and the ' enforcement of the laws. They all say that mobs mnst be put down, and this Southern I rebellion is but a mob a conspiracy to break up the Government. Last Winter we were opposed to tbe Crit- : tenden amendments because we considered ! tbem the meaoest humiliations ever offered to the hones', and loyal citizens of the North. We were also opposed to the Border State proposition or amendments becauso they were very li'.tle better, and we considered them iD violation of tbe spirit and letter, not not only of tha Republican platform, but of the constitution itself. We made a speech at a meeting held on Wednesday evening of the January Court, we hold now and the people see it, that every poeition we took in {bat speech was right, and the only ground that at.y Republican could take and at the same time maintain bis manhood and consistency. We blame no man for thinking differently but no man bas a right to abuse us for our opinions especially, since the history of the times and the events of the last two months have proven cler.r as mathematical demon stration that we were right. Every honest man can see now that if President Buchanan had done his duty and issued a Jacksonian Proclamation last November, the war would have been ended before this, indeed we ba lieve that it would have been so effectually nipped in the bud, that there would have been no war. Instead of this it was com promise, compromise. Every one that was offered, only emboldened the traitors and made them more insulting and impudent.— We saw this and we 6aid, no more compro mise with traitors." And now, because we were opposed to these contemptible humiliations, our enemies and some would be friends, think we should shoulder our musket and go to war. Ilad wa been as ready as we were willing, we would have to day been in the army. But will any honest, sensible man say that we, poor as wo are, should resign our office, sac rifice SIOOO or SI2OO, when other men worth their thousands are considered honorable, because they gave two or tbree-bundred dol lars to support the wives and children of our brave fellows who did go? No pereon finds fault with the-e men because they did not go. Whenever it becomes really necessary for us to go and defend the old sta ry banner we will make the sacrifice and go, if it costs us our life and all we are worth in the world. But says the Watchman , " the men who talk the loudest are not the men to fight."— Now Messrs Editors one mure fact. Six companies of volunteers have gone from this county, numbering say five hundred mea.— Four hundred at least of those noble lellows were Republicans in politics and opposed to all the compromise measures of last winter. This is a faet that cannot be contradicted.— We hope therefore that we will hear no more silly balderdash from the Watchman as we quote above. Every man who goes to war deserves the thanks of every body. And while it is creditable to go, it is not we think discreditable for men, who cannot leave their business without toe great a sacrifioe to re main at home. THE! CEIVTRE DEMOCRAT. The Cause of the Wat. We call the attention of our readers to the following extract from a letter ritten by J. C. Calhoun, as early as 1812, to Commodore Stewart, better known as " Old Ironside," now in his eighty fourth year. The letter sbi/tfs so explicitly what the intention of these Southern Democrats was, that we can not refrain from giving it publicity. It shows that these men were determined, just so soon as they had lost the power to control this Government, to destroy it, dissolve the Union, and punish the " Northern Yankees" and mudsills ot society. Read the extract: "I admit your conclusions in regard to ns Southrons :—that We are essentially aristocratic I cannot deny ; but we can and do yield much to Democracy—this is our sectional policy ; we are from necessity thrown upon and solemnly wedded to that party, however it may occasionally clash with our feelings, for the conservation of our in terests. It is through our ajil a iou toith that party in the Middle and Western States we control, under the Conetitut-.on. the governing of these United States/ BUT WHEN WE CEASE THUS TO CON'I ROL 'JHIS NATION. through a disjointed Democracy, or any material obsta le in that party which shall tend 1c throw us out of that rule and control. WE SHALL THEE RESORT TO THE DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION." Every person is familiar with the history of John C. Calhoun. And every person should now be able to see that the Democrat ic politicians have been wedded to his fool ish and unpatriotic secession doctrines.— Ilence our trouble. Ilence the stagnation in business and the present civil war. If Gen. Jackson had hung John C. Calhoun the war would never have taken place. Tbe " Old General" regretted all his life 'bat he did not bnng him, always asseverating that it was the great and only mistake of bis life. Every honest man, every man who will think, must see that it was not the election of President Lincoln that brought on the war. But it was made simply the pretext. For, as Mr. Calhoun tells us in his letter, " whenever ice cease thus to control this nation, through a disjointed Democracy, or any mate terial obstacle in that parly which shall tend to throw us out of that rule and control, we shad then resort to tin dissolution of the Union." What infamous doctrine. And bow long have the good honest farmers and workiDg men of Centre county and the Keystone State been deceived, cheated and cajoled by the leaders of this party ? Of course tbe leaders knew better. Suppose, for instance, General Scott had been elected President, instead of Franklin Pierce in 1852. Would the Mis. ; souri Compromise line have been repealed ? Would we have ever hoard ot that infamous Dred Scott Decision ? Would John C. Crit i tenden ever have had tbe impudence to offer ! his amendments, declaring that it was right to incorporate in to ths Ci nstitution that there could be property in man ? But, suppose Bgaio, that the Arch Traitor, Jno. C. Breck inridge had been elected last fall, what iD Heaven's name would have become of the country, the farmers and workingmen uader another Southern Administration ? Providenee will take care of the destinies of this great nation. He is doiDg it now, and good must come out of this apparent evil. In the meantime we throw out these interroga tions and suggestiors for the cool and delib erate consideration of all honest men, it mat ters not to what party they belong. Let ui learn to be freemen. Let us look at the logic of facts and the history that is so rapidiy be ing made and written every hour. In the meantime every person must see that the Republican psr.y is the only party that can save our glorious Union. Lincoln is pledged to this. And rest assured, fellow citizens, that before the 4th of next March, peace will be declared, and the Stars and Snipes will float over every foot of laDd in Uncle Sam's dominions. Governor Curtin, Again. Wo promised last week to say something more in defence of Gov; Curtin, but our ar licle, last week, so effectually silenced the clamor here, that we deem it unnecessary to add one word more. We will, however, call the atttntion of our readers to the article on our first page from the Chester county Times. It is a most excellent article, ffj will also state that the Committee appointed by the Governor is busy at work, and it will not be long until the guilty parties are known, and punished, and punished BB they deserve. Our readers can rest aesurtd that Gov. Curtin will come out unscathed, as the Hebrew chil dren emerged from the fiery furnace, not a nair of his bead singed, his character vindi cated, and the Republican party purer, stronger, and more invincible than ever. Let us stand by our Governor and the " Old Fbg '" " . . Beauregard. We believe in ghosts. We believe Gen. Bejuregard is a genuine ghost—a real spirit ual manifestation. In no other way ean his übiquity be accounted for. lie turns up at Richmond and at Memphis at the same time. AD " eye-witness" swears to having assisted n carrying him off tbe field, at Fort Moultrie mortally wounded, of which he soon died.— Tbe p. oof is plain. Tbe mystery is solved. Beauregard's a ghoet. He flies through ej ace at will. lie pokes about the secession camps be night and by day, and makes him self visible at {Rasure. He's a dopplegan get ghost and carries double, divides, mul tiplies and splits so as to be dead and appear at separate points as alive tbe same instaDt. Look out for this modern Banquo ; there is' no telling what misceief his ghostly visits mav accomplish. P. S. Here he is egain ! On Wednesday he appeared at Manasses Gap Juhction. If he is not a ghost, and will remain there a few days, we can safely promise that he will be one,— Chester Co. Times. Arrest of an Officer. UARRISBURG, June, 9tb-—A. warrant was issued this morning by Alderman Kline, on the oath of Capt. Hugh McDonald, of the Wilmot Rifle Rangers, against Capt. J- Oscar Loraine, of the Washington Cadets of Clear field county, lor declaring himself a seces sionist and stating that he would oever pull a trigger against a Southern man. The friends of Loraine allege that he is a loyal man, but that he was intoxicated and that bis object was to quarrel with McDonald.— The matter will be properly investigated. Massachusetts & South Carolina, We occasionally hear the assertion that Massachusetts and South Carolina are the two extremes of which it would be a blessing if the people of this country could rid them selves. As to South Carolina, we are not willing to question the application of the rid dance, or the certainty of the blessing were that commonwealth and its traitors blotted irom existence. But Massachusetts has a bold OD the people of this continent, which it would be hard to shake off. On this con tinent, Massachusetts established the first school, incorporated the first academy, and endowed the first university. She set up tbe first printing piess printed tbe first book, and published the first newspaper. She launched the first ship, killed the first whale, and made the first discoveries in the Pacific and South >eas. She digged tbe first canal, and built the first railroad ; coined the first money, and unfurled the first national flag. She fired tbe first gun, shed the first blood, and gained the first victory in the war of the revolution. She drew the first lightning from heaven, performed the first painless op eration in surgery, and invented the mag netic telegraph. She taught the first blind and deaf mute to read, and established the first school for tbe discipline of idiots. And now, in the latter days, she came first to the relief of tbe capital, and fired the first gun and shed the firs' blood in tbe war of the Constitution. Of South Carolina we can de clare that she inaugurated the first rebellion in this country— cherished the first traitors —clings to the last vestige of aristocracy— adopts fugitive rebels as loyal citizens, and makes the principles of slavery the arbiter iu the jury box, the pulpit, and business mart. Who would give up the glory and the useful ntss of old Massachusetts, for the treachery and lawlessness of South Carolina ? * The Rule of Demagogues Ended. Heaven preserve us from becoming a dem agogue. Of all classes of men we despise tbe demagogue the most. He is a curse to the community in which he lives. He will sac rifice everything for the benefit of self and to advance the interests of the party that will aid him to position or office. Principle and the best interests of the country weigh nothing in the balance where ha has an end to accomplish or a selfish purpose to serve. He will sacrifice principle for self, and the country for party. We loathe and despise him. And yet, alas 1 it has been this class of men who have obtained prominence, and con trolled the affairs ot this Government for years. Behold the result! The Government ere the masses dreamed of real daoger, was brought to the very verge of destruction and utter ruin. So desperate was the condition of affairs that all the loyalty and all the pa triotism of the brave hearts and strong arms of the people became necessary to counteract the devilish work of the demagogues, and save the Government from the terrible fata planned for it by those unprincipled vam pires. Thank God, it is not yet to late. The peo ple have been aroused in time to save the country. The rule of the demagogues is a: an end. The Government is new in the hands of men who regard priociple more than self, and estimate country as superior to mere party ; arid the loyal masses every where unite in the determination to support them in the performance of their CoDstitu~ tionnl duties. The Thirty Years Conspiracy. When the history of the great rebellion of 1860-G1 comes to be written, it will stand in disputably proved that it was the result of a long plotted, well-matured conspiracy—not an uprising of the people ; not a revolution to reinoye unredressed wrongs; but a foul conspiracy. Edward Everett, in a private letter declares his knowledge of the face that for thirty years leading southern politicians had bveu resolved to break up the Union, and that the slavery question was but a pretext for keep ing up agitation and holding the South to gether. Indeed Mr. Everett clears his record by admitting that the knowledge of this fact was the secret of his Dolitical course, bv whieh ho had lost favor and influence a' home for the sake of S'rengthening the huods of patriotic Union men at the South. And we are informed of a trustworthy source, that one of the latest occupations of tbo now deceased Senator Douglas was the partial preparation of a pamphlet exposing, from a personal knowledge similar to tha from which Mr. Everett speaks, the secret machinations an i public plans uf this great southern conspiracy. " The mills of God " grind slowly, hut they grind exceeding " small." It is this gigantic conspiracy, now actually ruining the South, which woull fain have ruined the Union. Rather than the Union should perish, " the mills ot God" will grind to dust the institution for whose ag grandizement, and the traitors by whose am bition, its existence was periled. Accident to the Big Gun. Baltimore is certainty an uufortuuate place for great guns. The enormous coluutbiud vrhicb has been lying at Locust Point some days, carelu'dy gurded from all harm, was to be sent yesterday to Fortress Monroe. A schooner was got in readiness to convey it— tba deck was. strengthened, and a very strong gangway of planks made across which to move the immense gun. With incredible labor, the " grate kanon" was slowly rolled from the wharf along this gangway. It was nearly on board, when the platform or gang way begaD to bend. In ao instant more, planks, beams and joints wirh one simulta neous crash, parted in the middle, and with a terrific splash, down went the columbiad to the bottom of the harbor. Tfao water was only seven feet deep, but what is still worse, it was quickly found that tbe gun was siuking intu the ground 1 The bottom there is a soft and yielding mud, and up to dark last night the gun had sunk down seven feet ia that, so that it is now fourteen feet below the surface of the water. When it is remeut bered that it weighs exactly 52.530 pounds, our readers can form their own opinion about the probability of raising: it. My own opin ion is, thai it will not do much service in this war. LET THERE BE NO WHITEWASHING. —N)w that the Governor has appointed Commis* soiners to investigate the army frauds, we trust there will be no whitewashing, which is usually the case with such commissions. Messrs. Fry, Haywood and Abbott have the reputation of being honest men. Let them also be firm. They should be strong enough to become executioners if necessary. We want to know just where the responsibility belongs, and we want these Commissioners to tell us plainly and unequivocally. The pubiio will not be satisfied with smooth words but facts must be sufficient to carry convic tion with their report. That is not all; the report should not be delayed. The case is not so complicated that it need to take a long time for an investigation, WAR NEWS. WASHINGTON, June 9. —There is a new source of information, by which the Govern ment is obtaining knowledge of traitors in the north. At rhe closing of the Southern mail service, all letters directed to Southern States were ordered to be sent to the dead letter office. Among these letters is being found as much treason as the telegraphic despatches disclosed. The village of Kvansport. eleven miles from Acquia Creek, was burned by the reb els on Saturday morning. The greater part of the village belonged to Union men. The rebels are still concentrating forces at Manassas Junction. Gen. Scott is daily ap prised of their movement!, by expert spies, one of whom, Hn army officer, remained in the rebel camp two days and returned with important info-mttion Jt is stated that when a movement is made against this point the advancing column will be thirty-live thou sand strong. Great preperations are being made for a grand movement on Harper's Ferry, and the men are joyous at the piospect of a tight.— Desertions and dissatisfaction contiaue at tout point among the rebel troops. It has been discovered that there are a number el spies in this city, some of whom are females. The seizing of the despatches has caused several prominent citizens to leave Washing ton City. Piofessor Allen, of Rhode island, brought into the city a large balloon. It was put into reconoi ering purposes immediately. An&ngernents have been made to pay the volunteers off iu a lew days, without waiting for (longress, ALEXANDRIA. —June 9 —The government troops are doing good service in this place, I>V way of searching suspicious quarters.— Yesterday a store was broken open, former ly kept by One Richards, in which was found a vast amount of military goods. From pa pers found in the building it was found that Richards was formerly a Commisary in tho Rebel army, lie has not been seen since the occupation of the town. The printers of the Pennsylvania Fifth are "occupying" the office of the Alexandria Gazelle. They have issued a paper cailed the Pennsylvania Fifth. It is edited by Lieut John P. Ely, of Lebanor. The compositors are S. YY. Lascomb, J. G. Ely, Lebanon"; Henry Ilisrick. Pittsburg ; Alfred Pierson. Pittsburg ; A. K. Buoy, R. Smith, Hun'ing • don : Frank Reisesnyde Schuylkill. Yfheo the (fB ;e was opened it was found that the type was consideiably mixed. To assort this was the woik of days, but the boys "stuck at it" until they had it arranged. Aod now they have a neat paper. The inside of the paper is all editoiiil. The following is a copy of the salutatory : "We make our best editorial bow to our friends, extend a hand of kindness to the ci tizens of Al exandria, tip our military cap to our fellow sol diers, and wish confusion to the enemies of our country. Feeling the want of a newspaper is our camp, as we pushed the quill and handled the stick, before we learned to handle the sword, we concluded to establish a medium by which our friends at 1 ome and the public in general may be iDfo rmcd of what transpires among us. Ws are called the Ragged Fifth, and, should our paper not wear in the manner and style that may be expected, we certainly will be excused on the plea of shabbiness having become a part of our nature and the home government has not come to our relief. J. P. ELY. It ia prntsd on the steam Press of the Virginia Sentinel. Copies of the paper w.ll be sent North f ( r sale. It ia the only Re publican paper ever printed in Virginia.

Eleven other di— triots in this county gave 2393 for. and 88 rgtinst it. The remainder of the State is largely Secession. BALTIMORE. June 9. —The bridge* at Point of Hocks and Berlin wru both burnt by the rebels, this morning. Both are near ilarp< rs Ferry. Another large lot of powder was seized yesterday on board a schooner which was passing fort Mcllenry. A gun was fired acros her bows, wnen she ran up the Amer ican flag but kept on. A shot through her rigging e< mpelled her to lay to wheo she was boarded and found to oontain forty tons ol powder, which was to ha landed at some point in Virginia. It was, however, soon removed to the magazine of the Fort. It will be distributed to the rebels in small quauti ties. WASHINGTON, June 10. —It seems to be the general belitf to-day that the next forty eight hours are pregnant with big events.— Several regiments have reeeited marching orders to-day and the camps presented alive ly scene while breaking up. The Rhode Island Regimen', the New York Ninth and the Pennsylvania Fourth, will leave at an early hour in the morning. Their camp equipage and military stores have been re moved to the ctrs. Their destination is suo posed to be Harper's Ferry, though they will go to Fredetick, preparatory to a grand ad vance on the rebel Camp. By Wednesday or Thursday at the furthest the movement on Manasses will be made.— All of tie best sources of information point to that. The immense preparations for the transportation of men, ho'h on the river acd by land, are almost completed. A commissioner is in tire city from Ohio, with money to pay the Ohio Regiments what is due them. The Buckeye boos are in great spirits at tbe attention paid them by their State authorities, as they cannot not receive their pay froui the federal government until the meeting of Congress. BALTIMORE, June T'h. —The monster can non " Union," which passed through this city from Pittsburg, fell overboard to day at Locust Point. The water where the gun lies is sixteen feet deep. It will be raised, although with some difficulty. The accident occurred while the canncn was being shipped on a schooner for conveyance to Old Point Comfort, A correspondent from WilliamspDrt, who has shown himself to be a most careful and truthful man, states, utder date of this morn ing that a number of the Virginia companies at Harper's Ferry have been disbanded, and that most of the soldiers that went from Berk ley have returned to their hom p . A ter, who had just arrived at Williamsport, declared that the desertions have reduced some of the companies to about one-half ef their original number,. Two boys of Williamsport, about seven teen years of age, were this morning induced to cross the river by two men representing themselves as Union men desiring to escape. The moment the boys crossed river tbeir boat was seised by bidden soldiers and bro ken to pieces. The boys were then carried off to the Rebel camp. IMPORTANT FROMjrHE SEAT OF WAR! ADVANCE OF TROOPS, A FATAL MISTAKE, FIRING UPON FRIENDS. REPULSE OF USir ED STATES TROOPS. BALTI MORE, June.—This baa been an exci ' ting anil riuir.iwfvi day at point Comfort. Gen. Buthr having learned that the rebel were forming an entrenched camp with bat* ti ries a Great Bethel, and he deemed it neces ary to displace them. Accordingly move ments were made from Fortress Monroe and Newport News. At m d.iight Col. Duryoa's Zouaves and Col. l'owusend's Albany Regiment crossed the river at Hampton and took up their line ot March. The former were Some two miles in the advance of tnelattir At the eiime time, Col. Benedix's regiment and a detachment of the Vermont and Ma3B - HI husets regiments moved forward to form a junction with the regiments from the Fortress at Little Bethel, about half way between Hampton and Great Bethel. The Z maves passed Little Bethel at about. 4 o'clock A, M. Benedix's Regiment arrived next and took a position at the intersection oi tbe roads. Not understanding the signal, the Z tuave regiment in the darkness of the morning fired upoc Col. Townsend's column marching in close order and led by Lieut but ler, son of Gen. Bitler. Other accounts say that Townsend's men fired first. At all events tbe fire of the Al bany Regiment was harmlese while that cf the Germans was fatal killing one man and fatally wounding two o'hqfs. The Albany Regiment being back, the Germans discovered by the accoutrements left on the fieid that the supposed enemy was a friend. They had in the mean time fired nioerouDds with small arms and a tiel i piece. The Z maves hearing the fire, turned and fired also upon the Albany boys. At day break Col, Allen's and Col, Carr's Regiments moved from the rear of the for tress to support the main body. The mistake at Little Bethel having been ascertained, tiie buildings were burned, and a Major with two prominent Se< s-ionistr, named Livery aod Whiting, made prisoners. The troops then advanced upon Great Bethel in the foil iwing order ; the Z mar**, Col, Bender, Lieut. Col. Washburne, Col. Allen and Col. Oarr. At that point our reg iments formed and succesively endeavored to take a large masked battery of tho Seces sionists. The effort was fu ti if, our three small pieces of artillery not being able to cope with tils heavy rifled cannon of the enemy, accor ding to some accounts thirty in number. The rebel battery was so completely mask ed that no men could be seen, but the flashes of the guns only. - There were probably less than 1000 men behind the battery of ibe reb els. A well concerted movement might have secured the position, but Brig. Gen. Pierce, wh > c nimanded t ! >e expedition, seemed t" nave List his presence of mind, ut.d the Trny Regiment stood an hour exposed to a galling fire.

WASDISCTI June 12, 1 o'clock—An especial mesuienger arrived hero hearing the intelligence (but Gen. Butler hart attacked great Bethel and captured a battery of seven guns, and a masked battery of fourteen gunv. completely routing tbe rebel foreos of sei en thousand strong, and one thousand token prisioners, [ By Telegraph on Thursday Morning.] The news of the capture of the hattesies at Gr at Bethel is confirmed by the Now York pa pers on yesterday. Gen. Butler first sent out a detachment under Gen. Pierce, on a skirmishing expedi ion, and be : attacked tbe batteries, but without success, and was compelled to retreat. Upon bearing this, Uen. Butler taiil ho would take tho battery belore breakfast, anc ho did so. k< Democrats" in the Army. We fee I rather gratified, says the Chester county Times, at seeing the secession papers claim that there are mure Democrats in the ranks from this Stato than Republicans. We are incliued to admit the claim. We are tbe more inclined to do so because it proves \> hat we have often stated, to be tru a , viz : that the great mass of the men voting with that party, were honest und loyal and would vole for the best interest of their country if they wore not misled by crafty politicians. These same leaders meant to carry them all over to secession and seize thp government hy their aid and hold it. A Rufthr.—he who fired the first gun at Sumpter—lrusirated the plot. The booming of that cannon emancipated a million of " Democrats" who bad been slaves to party. The good old flag was attacked.— They saw at a glance, that what Republicans hud been telling them for years, was true. They saw then for a certairi'y that there were Iraitcrs in their camp. The government was in danger—in danger so real that no politieial sophistry could hide it. With one impulse like Sampsons, they burst tbe ties of party, and rushing by and over their leaders, they flew to arms as one man, knowing no party bnt our country and its defense. Tbe miserable secession demagogues were appalid by tbe sublimity of the movement. They were overwhelmed by the mighty wave of i patriotism which they hud oaen attempting | to dam up for years. They must mount the wave and be carried on, stand aside, or be borne do wo. The Democratic masses moved, and the leaders wlr- stood back are now the despised of all parties and all sections. They i deceived the South by fabely promising to j make traitors of honest Democrats, and they j ueccived the Democratic voters at home by , denying tbe charges made by tbe Republi- j cans. The consequence is there are now but ; two parties, one—as the Republican party always has been —fur the maintainance of the 1 Constitution and the laws; and those who j rebel against the laws and would dstrnv the ! government. The great party is the Union j party, the lesser party is the Tory par.y.— Happily, this latter is now to > small to be' considered in this part of the country. Here we are a unit. Marshal Kane—A Convicted Traitor. Governor Ilicks publishes, in the Balti more American of the 10th insr., a letter re lating to Mayor Brown's and Marshal Kane's agency in the burning of the bridges on the Philadelphia and Northern Central Railroads on the night cf the brutal massacre of the Maeseohusette and Pennsylvania troops in the streets ot Baltimore. The Governor de monstrates that the bridge burning was but the execution of a deliberate and long exist ing plot. He fixes the guilt of both the Mayor and the Marshal. 'The latter is fair ly gibbeted by means of one of his own trait ourous telegraphic despatches. To let him go a large after the publication of that de spatch will be offering a ptemium to treaosn mob law and murder.
