ARD ALL THE LAWS;
Students deeming to attend the Binghamton Com-
Inertial Vollege. can hear of something of practical value,
- by calling at or addrcastngthla °lgoe.
rgrWe call Attention to an article in
our columns headed " thel Tribiine's Dis
unionism," which closes with these words:
‘; We that„ in the light of this
expose, we-,arejustiffed in asserting that
the Tribune is morq dangerous enemy bf
the. Union than the army of Jeff. Davis,
the arch iebel."
The New York World, from which it
is copied, is a prominent republican orb
"gin, and receives a large amount of gov
ernment patronage—therefore it is net
" treason' for us to copy the article.* Read
it carefully. It gives a jest expote of the
journal that has contributed largely to
build up the republican party, and bring
civil war upOn the reentry.
Ur'On the 17th,Gen. M'Dowell made
an advance upon Fairfax, but it was de
serted by the rebels without firing a gun,
leaving some valuable , equipments, *c.
behind. They seem determined not to
risk an open fight—atpresent, at least.—
Itis possiblethe3,- have a motive for their
conrse'but they would he entitled to more
respect if they were either to'come right
up to square field fights, or else go home
and- behave themselves. It is suggested
that they act on the idea that
no who fights and rums away,
• May Ilre to fight another day.
But it may result in a slight change -in
the qiiotation, thus:
Ile who fighta and one away, -
' • May hare to run another day! •
So fag then have not met the federal
troops in any general battle; and w - here
there has been fighting, they 'seem dis
posed to avoid a fair trial of strength.,—
The consequence is that they are retiring
before our armies, and are being worsted,

litical leaders have grossly blundered our
men into defeat.. .IrCknen has cleared

He admitted that this present trouble was
revolution, but it was the , revolution of
eleven states, and even:if crashed out by

Union A war of subjugation must end
in the ruin of the -repnblie, or end in des

opinions from those heretofore recognised.

loyalty of the Chief Justice. His charac

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Comn&ereial, from. Grafton, states that the
rebels retreated front Laurel RiU on Thurs
day night, and Gen. Morris' Column com 7
rnenced: the pursuit the next afternoon,
and after a forced march through the rain
and mud: over Laurel mountain,- our ad
vance mine Upon,the enemy at Carrack
forfi,-eight miles south of St. George, in
Tucker county. The rebels .drew up , in
line of battle, and poured a raking fire on
the right of our column, consisting of the
Ohio Fourteenth, which returned the fire,
lasting- twenty minutes, at which, time
Col. 'Dumont, with the Indiana -Seventh,:
made a charge upon their battery, when _
the enemy broke and run, crossing the
ford towards St. George.
General Robert S. Garnett, while, at
tempting rally his men, was Struck by
a ball passing, through the spine and out
at the right,breast. Ike fell dead on the
spot.
Colonel Dumont continued the chase for
two miles, and then bivouacked. The oth
er portion of the column bivouacked on
- the field of battle. N
We captured forty loaded wagons, One
rifled cannon and two stands of colors.—
Twenty of tlierebels-were killed and ma
ny wounded. .More prisoners were taken
than we could take care of. The flight
was finally'turned into a disastrous rout:
Our loss is'two killek and fwg mortally,
wounded.'
The rebels' lost - all their ients, camp e
quipage, army chests, clothing, hundreds
of muskets and knapsacks, . with, large
quantities of ammunition.
They retreated up the Horse Shoe, but
it is hoped that Gen. Hill will meet and
still further rout them near West, Uniob.
Gen. 'Morris is to return to-day by St.
George to Laurel Hill. .We brink Gar
nett's body here, and it will be forwarded
to his friends.

and warns them,that the time for tolerat

defiance of the supreme- authority of the
Union peril their Jives in the 'attempt.
He says the character of .the resistance
which, hay been made is in strict confor
may with the source from which it origin
ates. Cowardly assassins watch for oppor
tunities to murder, and become heroes
amoeg•their associated bands by slanghter
ing by stealth those who openly they dare
not meet. -
This system unknown' to civilized war
fare is the natural fruit that treason bears.
The process of the criminal courts admin
istered in the disaffected districts will
not cure this system of assassination but
the stern imperative trillitaq . necessity
and a kity of self-protection will furnish
a sharp and decisive remedy in the Sum-
Mary justice of court martials. Reptant

Of July, 1788, which were an initial step
epward the formation of the Union, were
a mere league of friendship for common

of'State authority to give them validity
