air The country is in great anxiety to
know the result of the conflict between
Grant and Lee. Our numbers must be
overwhelmingly Superior-, and great results'
are anticipated: Wocollect what res.
we can up tc! ale'leteeti
announaimenta at Washington seem
hopeful, and all. iersaid to be favorable.

In Congress thellausc tmanitnously
voted. toentiSe,Soldiers monthly pay to 116
the- Democratic side urging a larger sum,
bat the blacks enforced the gag, and we'd
allow
,no larger amount to be consideied.
SO the black majority grudgingly allow
,our white soldiers only 83 increase, but
bestow , upon negroes .90 increase.
3Aboat fifty members of the Pee
-pies'. Committee have issued a call for the
assembling of a national convention at'the
city of Cleveland, to consider the question
. of neat President. Awing the names of
Pennsylvanians, is that of ex-Governor
Johnston. Lincoln had better disperse
these bolters, perhaps.
Voting to Dissolve the Union.
Make a Note of It, \that sizty-seven Re
piiblican members of Congress by voting
to lay the following resolutions on the
table, vtted that. the Union was dissolved,
and that when a state is subdued, <or re
turns to its allegiance, it is•not a state of
Union. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens's sort of
secessionism has won more adherents
then wehad• suspectedV"
Resoltut, That the Union is not jiis
solved, and that whenever the rebellion in
any one of the seceded states shall be put
down or subdued, either by force or vol
untary submission to the authority of the
Constitution and laws, such state shall be
restored to all its rights and privileges
under the constitution of such state and
,the Constitution of the United Mates:
A Dill to Legalize Secession and to
Dissolve the Union.
The folrowing bill has been offered in
Congress by the administration leader in
the House—Thad. Stevens. -It virtually
re-enacts Jeff. Davis' secession ordinances,
and dissolves the Union.
Be it enacted &c. That the Confeder
ate States are a . public enemy, waging . an
unjust war, whose injustice is -so glaring,
that they aye no right to claim the miti
gation of the extreme rights of war which
orb accorded by modern usage to an ene
my who has a right to consider the war a
just one.
Sec. 2. That none of the states which,
by a r ularly recorded majority of its cit
izens, has eceded and joined the south
ern confede y, can be considered and
treated as within Me Union, so as to allow
them, or any part or portion of them, to
be represented in Congress, or to take any
part in the political government of the Un
ion. '
Sec. 3. That in all procaedings to amend
the Constitution of the United States
none of the states - embraced in the south
ern oonfederacy can be permitted to par
ticipate, nor can they be counted as among
the states necfsgary to form a constitu
tional majority to adoptsaidamendments,
and that when any amendments shall be
ratified by three-fourths of the non-sece
ding states, they shall be taken and ad
judged to be a pakt of the Constitution.
Sec. 4. That whenever the federal for
ces shall have taken and possessed any
portion of the territory embraced within
the limits of the confederate states, the
same shall be deemed and held to be a
territory of the United States, Subject to
the same conditions as other territories,
and Congress shall make all needful inks
and regulations respecting said territories.
Sec. 5. That whenever the said territo
ry shall be conquered and possessed by
the federal troops, each of the original
states shall be deemed a separate territo
ry and entitled 'to a territorial govern
ment similar to the governments of the
other territories of the United States.
See. 6.. That the following described re

Some time ago Gen. Blair, 'one of-thesl l
repretointatives fretnlfitisouri in thet Fed
eral gonirrese, brought charges of CorruP7.
Lion against the Secretary of the Treating'
Salmon. P. Chase;' and; asked for a com
mittee of inv estigation , which was not
granted. , t •-•
The Attack upon the t Secretary, hoW-!
Lever,was galling to himself' and:-his
friends,
ieids, and they reselved - Opon retalia
tion..lli.. Weligg, a colleague of General 1
lair;accused the latter with having spe-
elated iii liquorl3,, while in 'command 'a l
the Army; under cover, of orders for mili
tary 'supplies, to the ainignit of $8,600.
I
A commulee, at therequest of Gen. Blair,
was Appointed to Investigate' the charge,
and they reported on Saturday, 23d April,
entirly esonending the tGenend. They
say that the 'original order, Signed by Gen.
Blairand eight other officers, was for the
sum of $l5O or' $175 only; for liquor t' mid
Isegars ; but thatthe order was subsequent
ly alteredtby Michael Powers to , W 1! for
48,600 worth for. t Powers' own speculat
ing purposes. The' cogimittee say :
' l As a specimen of the alterations one
may be referred to that as to brandy.—
The original order was for five gallons.—
By inserting the figure 2 before the figure
5, and adding the word each to: it, ' 'it be
came an order, as nine persona had signed
it, for 225 gulluns."
ARO the reading' of the report deaeral
Blair 'addressed the House, charging that
the aconsations made against him were in
consequence of his - hostility to Secretary
Chases " Trade Regidations." and his
plan for " lath% the-Southern States go."
He more than intimated that the orders
had been altered' or forged at the Trea
sury Department; the:: evidence showing
that the forgery was liaade public by a
Treasury agent, who knew its character.
IHe almost flatly' charged the Secretary
Iwith treason, alleging that he was in
`favor of letting the Southern States go in
peace ; was opposed to reinforcing Fort
Sumter and employhig troops to put
down the rebellion; and that he still holds
these views, being now engaged in matur
ing a plan to let the Southern States go in
peat% and effect a pertnanent dissolution
of the Union. t
Farther than this he'alleged , that under
the Secretary's "Trade Regulations."
contraband goods pass constantly beyond
our lines, and read letters to show that,
recently Eve barrels of percussion caps
were sent from Memphis to the enemy.
Still farther, he charged the Secretary
with using his official power and influence
for Presidential purposes, squandering the
proceeds of plantations abandoned by the
rebels to sustain Pomeroy's National Ex
ecutive Committee, which was working
in his [Chase's . ] interest fdr the Presid
ential nomination and to carry on the war
generally against the Administration.
Still worse than this, be charged dis
tinctly, an the authority of an eminent
citizen of New York, understood to be
Wm. 11. Aspinwall, that the Secretary
has given his son-in-law, Senator Sprague,
a permit (of i course to trade in contraband,
under the Treasury " Regulations,") by
Which be will realize two million dollars ;
and that Jay Cooke, the agent and re
lative of the Secretary, had received . $460,
000 for nine months services, part of
which he used in buying up newspapers
for his relative and patron.
When we reflect that these charges
were made upon the floor of Congress, by
a member possesiing the full confidence
of the President of the United States, and
who is also a Major General in the army,
recently assigned to command by tbe
President, we cannot but consider them
serious.
Would Major General Blair hazard his
reputation by preferring such charges
against a member of the Cabinet without
having in his possession the evidence to
establish their truth ? And would Presi
dent Lincoln assign• Gen. Blair to an im
portant command after he had made such
charges unless he—President Lincoln,
believed them to be true? ;
We think not.
• What then does this quarrel between
the warring factions of the dominant
political party reveal?
The astounding fact that a member of
the Cabineno less a personage than
Salmon P. Chin, Secretary of the Trea
surp—the men' who controls the &uncial
operations of the Government, is, traitor
ously supplying the rebels with military
that he is corruptly appropriat
ingGavernnient funds to political pur
posee, and enriching his relatives, by the
most nefinions means, at the expense of
the people. -
And further, the fact,still more astound

MAY '.—The news from Virginia is to
the efiect tliat ,General Grant's army pass
ed through the wilderness beyond Chan
cellorsville, thus indicating that Lee does
not intend to give battle in that vicinity at
least.' Gen'. purpside has dispatched a
portion of his force to intercept Imbciden's
rebel cavalry,--which were in the vicinity
of Thoroughfare gap, and had a skirmish
in which the rebels were defeated. Or
ders from Lee were intercepted recalling
the cavalry to the main body of the army.
It is thought that Lee will make a stand
for the defense of Richmond in thatvicinity
of Hanover Court House. There is no
news from General W. F. Smith's move
men on the peninsula.

The battle at Cane river, Louisiana, is
to have resulted disastrously to the Union
troops.
Bixby Smith, in his official report of the
Red River battles, claims to have taken
Gen. Banks four thousand prisoners, two
thousand fiva hundred wounded, eight
thousand stand of arms, two thousand and
odd:mules, two hunhred and fifty wagons,
nine hundred barrels of flour, and thirty
five pieces of cannon.
Balf Q.—There is still -much mystery
hanging over the movements of the army
of the Potomac. A despatch from
Secretary Stanton, to Governor Brough,
of Ohio ,
_ sent at midnight, last night,
states that up to that time nothing official
had been heard from Grant, and, as far as
was known, although the battle on the
Riled= was bloody, there was nothing
decisive.
Gen. Grant is with the Rapidan col
umn, diecting its movements, and we shall
endeavor, briefly, to detail its progress.
The Rapidan runs astward from Cedar
Mountain to Fredericksburg, and the dis
tance is forty miles. Orange Court
House, Lee's headquarters, is ten miles
south of Cedar Mountain, and almost in a
direct line a turnpike, aboutforty-five miles
long. This runs from Orange to Fred
ericksburg. This turnpike is south of the
Rapidan, and almost parallel to it. Twelve
miles above Fredericksburg, on the river,
is United States Ford, at the confluence
of the Rapidan and Rappahannock. Five
.miles south of, this ford, and on the- turn-
pike, is Chancellorsille. Ten miles further
up the river is Germania Ford, and five
south of it, on the turnpike, is Locust
Grove. On the river there are other fords
between these, and on the turnpike, half
way between the two towns is a village,
called Wilderness, a name also generally
applied 'to that whole section of country.
Mine Run is a small stream running
Northwestward, which crosses the turn
pike three miles west of Locust Grove,
and empties into the Rapidan four miles
above Clermdnia Ford. Of the strong
Confederate fortifications on Aline, Run
every one knows.
From the dispositions of troops on the
enemy's part it is evident that Gen. Lee
was acquainted with Grant's plan, or at
least the Rapidan portion of it before the
Federal army moved. The Confederate
army was moved east from Orange to
Mine Run and a strong force under Ewell
and Rill placed behind that stream. The
remainder of the army under Lee patient
ly waited on the south side of the fordo
for the Federal advance. On Tuesday
night the crossing was made, the Federal
right going over Germania Ford to Locust
Grove, the left over United States Ford
to Chancelloravivlle. The heaqsarters
crossed between, and Grant and Mead
stationed themselves at the village ktiown
as the Wilderness. Lee in front, retired
SoutWard before the advancing column,
allowing the crossing to be made unoppbs.
ed on Tuesday night. Wednesday night
and Thursday morning nothing but' the
enemy's, skirmishers were seen and the
Federal succeeded in crossing the
river without loss, Burnside who brought
lip the rear, passed his last troops over on
Thursday evening.
The Confederates then began to show
themselves..The'Federal right at Locust
Grove and" :Germania '"Ford " waa at the
furthest butifive miles distant from Mine .
Run. The sth New York cavalry was
,oti the extreme right, and was driven in
byalarge force of the enemy coming

certainly fodght on Friday, though noth

War It is i evident, however, that the
government;knows very little more than
the public, and that it has, as yet, no
direct communication with the field. Of
what happened on Saturday nothig is
Gen. Butler's movement is not very well
reported. He took West Point and sent
a reconnoisance to Bottom's Bridge, only
13 miles from RiChmond, but found no
large rebel force on the Peninsula.
Butler and Smith assembled their army
at Yorktown. A large fleethas longbeen
assembling' at Fortress Monroe, and on
Tuesday and Wednesday it went up the
York river to Yorktown, and the troops
were embarked. This.army had been at
Yorktown, to deceive the rebels into the
idea that a Peninsula attack was intended,
but the reconnoisance indicates that they
understood the feint. On Thursday and
Thursday night the fleet passed Ft. Mon
roe and debarked at a point on the South
bank of James river—South Point.. Up
to Friday morning no enemy was met.
Petersburg, ten miles up •the Appomat
tox was said to be occupied by Beaure
gard with 30,000 men. Our army landed
on both sides of the month of this stream,
and report says our men marched along
the south bank to Petersburg, when the
rebels retired, across the river, burning the
town. Also reported that a gunboat went
up the James above City Point, and was
blown up bya torpedo.
From Red river the news is disastrous.
Gen. Steele evacuated Camden on the 26,
abandoned the attempt to capture Shreve
port, and giver up joining Banks. Ile had
little forage or supplies, and was pursued
closely, losing 240 wagons,
4 cannon and
1000 prisoners. The rebels got ahead of
him qn Saline river, but on the 30th he cut
his way across, with the loss of the rest of
his trains. At last accounts he was forty
miles from Little Rock, fight to cover his
retreat.
Another rebel force pursued Banks from
Grand Ecore towards Alexandria, heading
him at Cane river, but he crossed with a
loss of 300. This .expedition was only an
excursion to sieze cotton, and has been a
sad disaster throughout.
Sherman advanced from Chattanooga
on the 24th, and took Tunnell Hill without
opposition.
'T M° 3Caetteert.
Washington, May o.—Despatches from
Grant haVe just been received by the war
department. Our army was in full pursuit
of the enemy towards Richmond. We
have 2,000 prisoners. Oar forces occupied
Fredericksburg last night. The wounded
would number about 12,000. The battle
of Friday was the most terrible yet fought.
New York, May 10th, 3 P. M.—Official
from Butler, dated Bermuda station, says:
" Cat Beauregard's forces in two.
fight and whipped one part. Took
many prisoners. Destroyed much rail
road stock, and think Grant need not fear
Lee's getting more reinforcements from
Beauregard."
Car - A gang of abolition rowdies lately
attacked the house of a democrat at the
midnight hour, in Clearfield county, with
the intention to mob him. Unable,to get
into the house, they broke the doors and
windows, stoned did house, hitting `the
children inside. The man stood inside
with an axe, ready to brain the first rebel
that entered. His wife went to a window
and screamed for help, when the coward

identified, arrested, tried before a Repub

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
We learn froth a gentleman from Mon
roe county that a party of drunken sed
iers went to the office of the Monroe
Democrat at Stroudsburg some time dur
ing last Saturday afternoon or evening
and destroyed the greater portion of the
material, throwing it into the street. If
this is so, the Democrats of Monroe de
serve to be trodden under foot if they do
not call a County Meeting andbdeliberate
ly proceed to root out the Abolition office
" from stem to stern." The Democrats of
Monroe are strong enough to drive every
Black Republican in their midst clean
out of the county, and, they should never
submit to this outrage without retaliatiag,
The Monroe Demonat has been a moder
ate paper—a war paper rather than any
thing else andlio reason on earth could be
assighed why its publisher should not be
permitted to pursue his business unmolest
ed, other than , mean political hatred.
The men who committed this outrage
were, of course, put up to it by Black Re
publican politicians. These should 'be
made to suffer. The. liay when Demo
crats should quietly submit to outrages of
this character, has gone by. If the law
will not protect them in their rights of
property they muct protect themselves.—
And it is the duty of the Democrats every
were to stand by their newspaper pub
lishers—not only to defend their property,
but to strike back.
