Thursday Morning, June 5,. 1862:
c ■
IT IS A COMMON* SAYING that History repeats
itself. For the credit of this particular epoch
with immediate and remote posterity, we trust
the history of these times may not repeat itself
in detail. We refer to the fiendish detu'iis—
such as now have a fearful and disgusting ex
istence in the official reports of rebel body
snatching and Sepoy cruelty after the battle of
Bull Run ; and the concealment of torpedoes
within the entrenchments, in docks, and in
bags of provisions, at Yorktown, by the re
treatiug rebels. These are accomplishments
a toueu beyond the education of the Indians,
who, while he scalps the victim of his rifle or
tomahawk, usually depends upon agility and
personal powers when lit meditates unusual
slaughter. We arc accustomed to hear of the
scaips iu the wigwam of tie great warrior,and
likewise as ornaments of his belt ; but we nev
er heard that he used the skulls of his victims
as drinking cups, or converted their bones in
to ornaments. But as "our deluded southern
bretlireu " are the superior race on this conti
nent, auJ practice these peculiar amenities in
the prosecutiou of a war of their own making,
we presume that the moral defeat pertains to
the untutored savage.
We of the North have always heard of the
South as the home of chivalry and the chosen
abode of Honor. That is to say : Southern
men have so vaunted the South, and Northern
men with Southern principles—not yet ex
tinct us a race—have reiterated the boast.—
Our democratic exchanges for years have serv
ed up these doctrines in their columns,and not
all of them have ceased to re-season and warm
up the old staple democratic editorials up to
this day. They still denominate these body
snatching butcherers of the wounded and unre
sisting " our southern brethren." It grates
somewhat upon our untutored and unrefined
northern ears, but that is piobably the effect
of prejudice, cr abolitionism, or same other of
the many excuses laid to our charge by these
democratic editors and their " southern breth
ren." It may be " chivalry" to violate flags
of truce, to bayonet wounded meu after a bat
tle, and to tire upon women and children for
saluting the old flag, as was doDe at New Or
leans ; but we don't Eee it. It may be a mark
of superior refiuemcut to exhume the todies of
soldiers and to convert their bones iuto fiuger
riugs and their skulls iuto drinking cups ; but
we are nnable to recognize it as snch. It may
be honorable to steal and lie without bound ;
however, such morality and honor is not com
monly inculcated in northern pulpits or Sunday
schools. It may be cited in further evidence
of the infidelity and general degeneracy of the
North, as charged by democratic editors and
politicians for years, but wa cannot help
that.
Bat this is the kiud of chivalry and honor
which finds favor in the eyes of the democracy
of the Wii. B. IIKED und GEO. M. WHARTON
school ; and such is the prodact of the supe
rior refinement of which they have been the
noisy defenders in past years. With these
monsters in human form they are in full com
munion of sympathy. For these unequaled
barbariaus they ask, and hope to receive such
merciful immunities as they refuse to those
who deny the divine right of the Democracy
to rule or ruin. True,this is not without some
show of reason. For the standards of rebel
lion was reared by democrats ; the forts, ar
senals, navy-yards, mints, custom houses and
otiie. public property, were stolen by demo
crats ; the ruling spirit of the rebellion is a
democrat \ the rebel Congress and Cabiuet ore
composed of democrats ; aud lastly, the rebel
army, which is guilty of gross barbarities
heretofore enumerated, is mainly composed of
democrats, and entirely officered and led on by
democrats. No wouder, then, thut certain
northern editors aud politicians are ever ready
with an apology for these democratic brethren
of theirs. It is reaiiy a family affair with
them, anil family pride demands all the apol
gies and defence essayed by the editois aud
pamphleteers aforesaid.
We canuot but thir.k, however, that there is
but one good and sufficient cause of all the
unparalleled barbarism practiced by the reb
els prior to and during this war. That noth
ingjbu-t the long indulged habit of domineering
over inferiors iu station, and the habitual con
tempt for tie sanctity of personal rights as
pertaining to tiie black slave, could have en
gendered such a barbarous spirit, we suspect
canuot be gaiusayed. Slavery.in view of the
utter extinction of which, arises all this blath
er about constitutional rights on the part of
enr degenerate democratic publicists, alone,
of ai! social conditions, is adequate to the
production of scch nameless brutality.—
A system which scouts at the sanctity of
and habitually disregards
of dependents, is equal to
>PllHlk Qf a °y degree °f savagery con-
Hjfconceivable. To avert tbe

THE LATEST WAi NEWS.
The Army of the Fotomachaa had a great
coulhct, termiuating in a success, before
Richmond. Geo- McClellan vlegraphed to
the War Department on Sunday the account
of a desperate battle fought on Saturday on
the bauks of the Chiekahominy. Gen. Mc-
Clellan dates his despatch Irom " lie field of
battle" at noon Saturday, and say 3 —\\ r e
have had a desperate battle, in which t.e corps
of Generals Sumner, Heintzlcman and Reyes
have been engaged against greatly
numbers. Saturday at one o'clock the
taking advantage of a terrible storm, whici
bad flooded the valley of the Chiekahominy,
attacked our troops on the right flank. Gen.
Casey's divisiou, which was iu the first line,
gave way unaccountably and disunited!)'. This
caused a temporary confusiou, during which
the guns and baggage were lwst, but Generals
Heitzlemau and Kearney most gallantly
brought op their troops, which checked the
enemy. At the same time, however, we suc
ceeded, by great exertion, in bringing across
Generals Sedgwick and Richardson's divisions,
who drove back the enemy at the point of the
bayonet, covering the ground with his dead.—
This morning (Sunday) the enemy attempted
to renew the conflict, but was everywhere re
pulsed. We have takeu many prisoners, among
whom is Gen. Pettigrew and Col. Long. Our
loss is heavy, but that of the enemy must be
enormous. With the exception of Gen. Casey's
division the men behaved splendidly. Several
fine bayonet charges have been made."
It is evident from this dispatch that the bat
tle was indeed a terrible one, and the victory
complete, although, in the absence of details,
it is impossible to give the exact location of
the field or the extent of the loss.
The evacuation of Corinth by therebal army
under Gen. Beuuregard is announced officially
by Gen. Ualleck, in a despatch received at
! the War Department Friday evening. The
Thirty-ninth Ohio regiment,the advance guard
1 of Gen. Popes' brigade, entered the city at a
i few minutes before seven o'clock Friday morn
f ing, aud planted the Union flag on the doara
of the Court House. The enemy had aband
oned the place previously. The last display of
resistance they made was in responding to the
batteries of General Pope on Thursday morn
ing. To what point the rebels have retreated
remains, up to this time, uncertain. Rumors
are afloat that Beauregard has made a march
upon Richmond to join General Johnston
It is possible that he may have been forward
ing a portion cf his force, in smali todies, in
that direction for some time past; but it is
quite probably that the main force of his army
is still in the vicinity of Corinth, at some
point on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. In
one of his despatched to the War Department
General Ualleck says that the enemy are evi
dently in strong position some four or five
miles south ot Corinth, on the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad, aud that he—Ualleck—antic
ipates a flank movement from Beauregard.—
This surmise of General Ilalleck is based evi
dently upon the kuowledge he has gained from
contrabands and prisoners from Corinth, to
the effect that General Beauregard had been
for the past two months fortifying the hills on
the line of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad for
twenty Ave miles south of Coritnh. The ob
ject in thus intrenching himself can only be
explained by supposing that General Beaure
gard hopes to entice General Hulleck's forces
far enough fiom the river, FO that a flank
movement from the direction of Jackson,Tenn.,
would compel the federal urmy to retreat and
fight their way back to the river at Pittsburg
Landing and Hamburg.
Another report say 3 that the rebels ere
falling back to Okolona ; but the latest news
by ulegraph docs not seem to confirm it.—
However, us the strategy of the leaders of
the rebellion has been all through so myste
rious, it would not seem strange if such was
the fact.
Okolona, to which place Beauregard is re
ported to have gone, is a small station on the
Mobile and 0 hio Railroad, sixty-seven miles
south of Corinth, and two hundred and sixty
one miles north of Mobile. About ten milts
south of Okolona, at West Poiut; the Nash
ville and Jacksou Bailroad leaves the line of
the Mobile and Ohio road, and runs south
westerly to Canton, Miss., u few miles north
of Jackson. The only advantage to be ob
tainea by the occupation of this position is,that
there are two roads leading southward from it
—one to Mobile and the other to Jackson.—
There the Timbigbee river and swamp flanks
the position upon the eust, making it necessa
ry for Gen. idalieck to march down fiom the
north via Corinth. All the events the rebels
thus gain time, and unless they are, as Gener
al II alleck supposes, "in force upon his flank,"
no news of great interest need be looked for
from this quarter for some time.
We have highly interesting intelligence from
Gen. Banks's Department On Saturday our
troops at Front Royal mae'e an excur.-don five
miles out on the road toward Winchester,
driving Ashby's Cavalry before them. There
was a continual skirmish,with some ioss to the
enemy.who were seen carrying of? their wound
ed. Oa our side one Lieutcuant was killed.—
Seven of the Maryland soldiers captured at
Front Royal were retaken. Iu the engage
ment the previous day our cavalry took 150
prisoners and retook 18 of our own meu. One
ca r non, and ten wagous laden with stores,
| Col. Keuiy'a woamls are
he is iloiDg well. From Hur-
of a % recounoissance on
'.j "Chester by
Jackson on Sunday morniug, bat tbev did not
know the result. Another and later dispatch
from Front Royal reports a recontioissanee
on Sunday as far as Strasbnrg, through which
the enemy were rapidly retreating. A
force was at once sent to cut off the Rebel
baggage train, but their rear guard was found
to be too stroug. Our men had reports from
the negroes that Rosecraus had attacked aud
beaten Jackson. These vague rumors about
Freinout were soon settled by the receipt of
dispatches from the General himself dated
" Headquarters, Sirasburg."
THE NATIONAL DEBT.
j A financial statement, says the Ilarrisburg
"clt'gmpk, understood to be semi official, was
rL, eutly presented during the course of a de*
in the House of Congress, showing the
es l > ldituii'B of ihe Government since Lincoln's
acets; on t 0 t i, e Rre&idency. It exhibited the
fact tqj t[ )e entire national det>t up to Friday
last aoiquted to less than SoOO,O 00,000, in
stead of early §1,200,000,000, as stated by
Mr. ooi'ees. It also showed that aside from
the War a-} Navy Departments, the expenses
of the Gov>jj miMlt U ini er r Lincoln have
been less by ver $3,000,000 than the average
yearly expenu.Q l( . 0 f ij, e stl me branches o( the
Government ur%. Mr. Buchanan. It is fash
ionable for a politicians who piofess to
' te loyal and \ ho proclaim themselves as the
Democracy, coiist&| y 0 f late to berate the
Government on theg L :ore of its expenditures,
and tliUi ol course the consternation oi
the people by ass?rti4 the enoriiiity of the
taxes which must follol, to liquidate and sus
tain such greut expenc%, reg . The object of
this outcry wus to produ\ dissatisfaction. II
j the people could be iuducui to believe that the
extravagance of ihi were the
; cause of taxation, a Vbellion might be
: possible in the North in all efforts to
. gather these taxes, ant in this manner the re
j hellion ol the slaveholders would be harried to
j success. It yvas a well md scheme, worthy of
I the Democratic politician who concocted its
; plans ; and we may be ini-bted to its failure
i for the present success whlii is DOW crowning
, the southern progress of omfl.i<;.
| Let it then be kept beforethe people, that
the expenses of the first yeai 0 f il 1(J adminis
'ration of Abraham Lincoln, tide from those
growing out of our military oprations, were
not as large by i ight millions of dllarsas those j
under the administration of Juur-c Buchanan i
for the same term.
Let it also be kept before the pt.ple, that '
the cause of the enormous expenses growiti"
out ot these military operations, can L direct- ■
ly traced to the Democratic party ad the j
administration of James Buchanan.
— r i>is is tlie best answer that can posibly j
be made to the shifts and inisivprescnta : cn> '
of the Democratic organs and leaders of | lt
subject of the expenses of the Government.-
The Democratic party is responsible for all tl
burdens which may grow out of these expenses.'
Let the leaders of thut party, then, pay their
quota of these expenses in the sliapa of the
taxation which is about to be levied, and for
ever hereafter hold their peace in regard to
corruption and extravagance.
From Norfolk.
NOKFOLK, Friday, May 30.13C2.
Two fugitives arrived here yesterday, direct
from Richmond. Tuey report an army 200,000
men, the dissatisfaction is very general. They
were living upo . half rations of bacon end
hard bread. The fugitives statu that J.ff
D.ivis had been heard to say that lie would
make the streets of the city run with blood be
fore surrendering.
Col. Hawkins, of the .Ninth New-York
Regiment, with twenty men, arrived here in
tlie Port Royil last night, having left Roa
noke Island yesterday morning, and passed up
byway of Currituck bound, and thence by
canal to Elizabeth River. Thus the inland
route is opened, by whi.h General Barnside's
Department may communicate with the Cap
ital without the risk ot the passage ou'side 01
Ilatteras. Colonel Hawkins is not the first,
however, to arrive here by the canal. Sever
al sloops and scln oners, fi)ing the American
flag, have already come through, and been al
lowed to proceed to Baltimore. There is no
late news from Xewbern or other points in I lie
Department of North Carolina.
By special invitation of the officers cf the
British war steamer Rhvddo, Gen. Yiele, Mil
itary Governor of this eh v,paid a visit to that
vessel yesterday. Ho was received with the
greatest courtesy, and with the honors of a
salute of IT guns,and the manning of the yards.
The American ensign was displayed at the
fore. The Riaaldo left this morning uud will
proceed to sea.
Preparations nre making on an extensive
scale for a grand Union demonstration lo lake
place shortly.
The oath of alPgiance has been administer
ed, up to this time, to nearly 2.0U0 Citiz ms.
Tliey offer themselves in large i;umiters every
day to take it voluntarily, and, in fact, it is
not made compulsory upon any one.
If the sentiment of the proposed meeti-g
should be satisfactory to Gen. Wool, it will
probably iuduco the Presideut to open the
port.
A report comes in from our scouts, who are
advanced some miles beyond Suffoik, that the
City ol Petersburg is to be has been evacuat
ed. by the rebels. The Seaboard and Roanoke
Railroad, it has been ascertained, is in good
order as far as the Black water River.

THE ARMY VOTE UNCONSTITUTIONAL,—Tbs
, Supreme Court of this State,in session at liar
i risburjjr, has decided that the act of Assembly
j allowing our volunteers in the Army to vote
: when in the field, is unconstitutional. Tbe de
. ci.-ion displaces Robert Ewii,g,demoarat,elect
ied last fall, as Sheriff of Philadelphia, and
nivis the office to his opponent, John Thomp
son, Union, and also changes the political
complexion of the common council of that city,
depriving the democrats of a majority in that
body. It may make some other changes iu
the State, and in many sections may operate
against the Union candidates elected last fall,
j It will make uo change in this count?.
