Vrtss. THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1862. THE LATEST WAR NEWS Some interesting items of rebel news are tele graphed as from Chicago, whither some Memphis papers, of the 11th inst., have found their way. The provost marshal of biemph , s, for the sake of the Government credit, hai ordered the arrest of all persons who refuse to take Confederate scrip in payment for goods, The AWN( has" certain in. telligence " that General Halleek has lost over five thousand men by desertions. General Ilalteolr'e army is so large now that fire thousand men would scarcely be mimed from it, but the story is a fabri cation. A report is published that General Curtis has begun to advance upon Little Rook, the capital of Arkansas. The city is located on the southern bank of Arkansas river, about 300 miles from its month, and 155 southwest of Memphis, Our eailors in Capt. Davis' flotilla are expecting another attack from the rebel fleet. Therein, instead of being sunk by our gunboats. as first reported, was only injured. The rebels_ are busily reparing their fleet, and it is expected that they will make another attack. Our form are ready, and eon& dent teat they either can destroy or capture the whole " mosquito navy." We are glad to learn that some of the most dis tingnishtd citizens of Tennessee have unit-td in issuing an address to their fellow citizens of the same State, inviting them 4 4 ? 1 4114 a 4 the ospitol, in Nashville, on the 12th inst., for the purpose of taking such steps as will restore Tennessee to her former status with the Federal Quinn. The call is signed by such prominent citizens as Andrew John son, Wm- B. Campbell, Bailie Peyton, Wm. B. Stokes, anti Wm. S. Cheatam. This is a move ha the right direction, and as it is in such capable hands we are confident it will succeed. It appears from despatches and nevrspapers fr9l4 the West that a part of General Curtis' army has gone to reinforce General Halleck, while another portion has taken up its march for the capital of Aikayssa. General Sigel and his division passed up the Tennessee river, on their way to Corinth, on Friday last. and parts of Generals Davis, Asboth, and Steele's division bad already left for the same place. It is now probable that they have by this time all joined their forces to those of General WE no NOT know what is to become of us, if the members of the Philadelphia bar persist in their present undertaking. It seems as if every attorney-at-law in our midst was engaged upon a pamphlet, setting forth his peculiar YieWS about the condition of the country, and showing Mr. LINCOLN and his advisers how they have been mismanaging the affairs of the nation_ These gentlemen have taken eom pletc possession of JoHN CAMPBELL, our friend over the way, who seems to have rashly as sumed the responsibilities of publishing their lucubrations. How many pamphlets • Mr. CAMPBELL has already printed we do not know ; bow many he will print if he continues in his present amiable mood it is impossible to estimate. With all due respect to the learned attorneys of the bar, they have the most in tense anxiety- to get into print. They never get tired of looking at themselves in a typo graphical looking-glass. We have had our own experiences with them, and can never think without regret of the multitude of unapprecia ted manuscripts in a bold round hand we have doomed to the waste-basket since the cona, inencement of our editorial career. They have scorned the newspapers now, and become pamphleteers. Their topic is the habeas cor pea anti martial law. Thirteen of these pamphlets are before us, and at the risk of an early visit from our medical adviser, certainly - with the com fortable assurance of a good night's rest, we , have given them an attentive perusal. Some are anonymous, and some appear with the au thor's name. Some are very stupid, and others display great ability. The first idea that impresses us is the harmony of tone per vading these pamphlets antagonistic to Mr. BINNEY. There is not one word of sympathy with the country ; not an unconditional or hearty sentiment in support of the war for the Union. One would think that JEFFERSON DAYIS had read the proof-sheets. He might have improved the rhetoric and chastened the style, but he could have had no objection to the sentiments. The leading pamphleteer is Wm. B. Riskin. Ms brochure is the ablest and most entertaining. Possessing a high-sound ing name, Norman in richness, and indicating a line of ancestors as illustrious as a PERCY or a STANLEY, he very properly sneers at such names as Foca and PIKE and CLAN . , for their plebeian etymology. The example of such a man should have deterred any lover of hits country from engaging in this ungracious and degrading task. But these miserable attorneys find inspiration in the, illustrious and high blooded aristocrat, and deluge the community with theirtreason and nonsense. In the absence of a newspaper organ they resort to the pamph let, and find a resting-place, with other aud bet teren , on the bookshelves ofJOHN CAMPBELL. G. X. X. WHARTON furnishes an ingenious and calmly-written essay of twenty pages, attack ing the President, of course, and assuring his readers that he is " ardently attached to the Union of the States." Mr. J. 0. Buttror has a " Review," numbering fifty-six pages, which he has written, be says, without " educational bias," a mysterious phrase which makes us regret our ignorance of Mr. BULLITT'S bio graphy. When we state that this pamphleteer makes Sir BOYLE ROCHE one of his principal audio - rifles, and quotes his jokes in support of his assault upon Mr. Litmus, the merit of his elaborate effusion will be appreciated. Mr. Ts,TIOW JACKSON gives lls two pamphlets possessing the exquisite merit of brevity. Mr. Jecasom writes like a gentleman, but takes the extreme ground that neither the ExuelltiVe nor his subordinates can proclaim martial law without subverting the principles of the Con stitution. Mr. JOHN T. MONTGOMERY is violent and rhetorical. He quotes MILTON in order to compare Mr. LINCOLN to Lucifer, and speaks about walking along the " broadening banks of the stream of liberty," and wonders whether the " Western Giant" It will disown his long lineage," by not giving traitors the benefit of the habeas corpus. There is another pamphlet signed " Common Sense," but it is so ob• acurely written that we have not been able to make up our mind whether it is for the Pre sident, or against him. Among these pamph lets, is one entitled " The Suspending Power and the Writ of Habeas Corpus. It bears no rinse, but the Meads of the author take espe cial pains to give publicity to his name in con nection with it, and it is no liberty we take in alludirig to him. Mr. JAMES F. Jointsvolt is one of those gentlemen whose record has A manifest and shameless inconsistency. He be longed to the school of reit _Mous Democrats who protested against the encroachments of the South, and the infamies of Mr. BUCHANAN, until he was banished from the Democratic couns c'ls, and driven in contempt from a Democratic convention. It is strange that such a man should now prove false to his record and his pledge, by becoming the advocate of the South in the time of its treason_ He places his ar gument on the most extreme ground, and deals with the President as though he were a tyrant and Usurper, and net the chief magistrate of an imperilled republic. The inspiration of these attacks is the venerable Iloaaen BINNEY, who is beautifying the closing yews of a long and illustrious life, by devoting his splendid intellect and scholarship to the defence of his country. It is to the honor of such a man hat his efforts should awaken the resentment of these busy traitors and briellesa barristers, and the manner in which he defends his posi tion, in the second pamphlet, shows tho strength of his cause, and his ability in Sus taining it. Their assault upon him reminds us of a number of village politicians in a bar room, reviling and denouncing fames Carr or DANIEL WEBSTER, and leave upon us pre cisely the same impression. In defence of the President we have Mr. Hoitacz BINNEY'S first and second parts, and an elaborate review of Judge TANEY'S deci sion, by Professor JOEL PARKES, of Harvard College. 'the arguments of the venerable and eminent Mr. BINNEY are familiar to all, having been discussed at length in the journals. Pro fessor PARKER'S essay exhausts the subject. He meets the legal question of right or wrong, * and discusses it simply as a matter of law. We could ask no more convincing defence of the ?residua's course in suspending the writ of habeas corpus than this brief I ta — sr We are indebted to Mr. Coleman, of Adams treatise of the Professor. 'He quotes I Express Company, for Nashville papers, in advance the opinion* of Mr.. ADAMS, in 1812, OR of lle FOAL the (million of mailing Gen- Joonootes fire, and the opinions of Senators BIMIIANAN and BERRIEN on the same subject, to show that those men considered the extreme course of Gen. JsexsoN, when in occupation of New Orleans, perfectly justified by the'necessities of war. The law of necessity which Mr. MONTOO ni.Extr dismisses by A scornful tinotaltlon, Pro fessor PARKER sustains and defends in a mas terly manner. He presents, what every author on the opposite side has failed to present, the extreme danger existing at the time of the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and the sudden call fur speedy, energetic, eirectire action. He illustrates the case of JOHN MERRYMAN by supposing his arrest and trial before the Secession Chief Justiao of Maryland and a Secession mob on the jury. In that case the forms of law would have only led to the injury of the State, and the embarrassment of the civil and military power. The question of the habeas corpus, as pre sented in these pamphlets, does not possess any intrinsic importance. As we took occa sion to say at the time of the publication of Chief Justice TANEY'S opinion in the case of Mr. MEmeXIIAN, ilia necessity for the action of' President LINCOLN was so great that he would have been criminal to have permitted any law or provision to bring injury to tha Republic. We do not think that even Mr. WHAttrox will deny that great danger existed in the month of May last, when JOHN MERRIMAN? was into Fort McHenry, for tearing up the rail road tracks leading to Washington. President LllicOL,•l might have sent for Attorney Gene ral BATES and his law books, and spent days in considering the authorities quoted by these pamphleteers, and the ingenious theories of the anonymous author of (6 The Suspending Power." It is not at all improbable that he might have arrived at the same bewildering conclusions. Rut in the meantime, MER RYMAN would have kept on burning bridges, and BEAUREGARD would proba bly have disturbed his investigations by shelling the White House from Arlington Heights. President Liscotrt and his authori ties would have been sent on to Richmond in charge of a corporal's guard, and the capi tal would have been the rebel's seat of Government. In the few weeks of peril we then passed through, days were ages, and the fate of liberty depended upon the action of an hour. The tenacity with which such gentle men as some of our pamphleteers cling to th e rebels is very extraordinary. We can think of only one parallel instance of infatuation. DEAN SWIFT relates that when Gulliver re turned frorn the country of the llouylanhnias, he was so much in love with the monsters and so much disgusted with humanity, that for six year§ hex cottipclictl hi. 4 Wife nisi family to sit at the farther end of the ditmentable. The monster of Secession has made as Sid wont with the friends of BREWERY RIDGE in the North, and the devotion with which they cling to it would be amusing if it were not lamenta ble. we can very easily see to what pernicious purpose this h:beas corpus question can be turned. These pamphleteers will not be satis fied with burdening the Rheims of Air. Otxr- BELL'S bookstore. We expect to have these arguments from every hustings in October next, in the voluble and violent declamt_ tion of the Breckinridge politicians. The habeas corpus will be a rare theme for these sympiithir.rs with deCOStiloll, and they have audacity enough to use it. We are glad that we have such men as Mr. BINMET and Professor PARKER on the side of the country —their great talents could not be employed in a better cause. The errors of these busy and industrious writers will be perfectly harmless when combatted by scholars of such patriotism and erudition. THE DIMIES3IIIO influences of the war s which for a while tipped down the scale-beam of pub lic confidence and energy with a leaden weight, have been counterbalanced by the elevating effects of successive victories to our arms, and the removal of many ill-omened and op pressive fears that haunted us. Trade has al, ready begun, with the opening of spring, to rebound to its former courses with its latent elasticity. Specu'ation is cropping out from its torpidity like the budding verdure that lawyer heeds the war. Our enterprise can uo more be compressed within fixed limits than the water in the golden sphere of Archimedes ; but is bursting through a thousand pores, a•.d ickling down upon rociety with its gladden ing, grateful freshness. The public palate, sated with the feast of horrors that has been regularly served up to it, in various tempting shapes from day to day, and month to month, now seeks relief and relaxation. It demands new sources of recreation as a right and a ne cessity. The foundation and support of these is innate in our nature ; tad cannot come from education, or the force of habit, or a mere whim to follow the behests of fashion. It is this fact, and this alone, which has given to the Italian opera that instinct of vi tality which has never failed it in the past three centuries. It is at once an evidence of populir refinement, and an exalter of the popu lar taste. It is a cultivating, civilizing agency, that has made the human intellect its debtor for a vast amount ; and, although the first to suffer - from disturbing causes in the social system. it is likewise first to reassert its claims to recognition and encouragement when such Causes have been removed. Here, then, we find the opera to have another value, being - unmistakably an evidence of thi healthy state of public affairs i and, like a good barometer, its indications may be trusted. We have not commenced to write an essay on this subject. We have simply undertalon to show that the opening of the Academy- of Music this evening by manager G-Rau, is a cheering sign of the times. The cannons may roar, but we will be merry—we shall dance and sing, and hear sweet sounds. The stately edifice on Broad street, with its many 1101:H160g, (which Madame DE STAEL would call frozen music), will echo once again rich strains of liquid melody_ Rerstxfsi Barbir of Seville., in spite of the tonsorial title, is a grandly comical temptation for a people who have heard of nothing but DE JONIN and strategy for up wards of a year. In the exacting role of ROSINA, D'ANGRI'S voice, f 0 so soft, SO sweat, so delicately clear," finds requisition for It 4 Meat compass t but with Relovost (as Ahnuviva), and Meacusi, and Sustn, and AMODIO, (a brother of the distinguished de ceased,) it will find athquate support. SUAKS rEArta says : 44 Look to the players; see them well bestowed." With a most profound obei sance we hasten to comply, and find them very well bestowed, indeed, fur this eve ning. We cannot afford to ignore the ab stract and lath f chroniclers of the time, even in the excitement of baying taken Norfolk, and of expecting every moment to hear that Richmond has succumbed. We ask for Mr. Ma! ager Gnarl largo and appreciative houses. THE COURSE pursued by General BUTLER since be has occupied New Orleans, towards the Secession press, should be imitated every , where else by the leaders of our armies. The newspapers of the South have been the organs of the rebel leaders, and have done more to mislead and disaffect public 3e, ntinnut than any of the other agencies of Secession. AN DREW JOHNSON at Nashville, and General Dualisms at Newborn, established the eX.dhi ple, which has been so fittingly followed by BUTLER at New Orleans The Nashville Pa- Mal and Newhe rn Progress are conducted with great ability, and cannot fail to do much good. The New Orleans True Della, which is now a Union paper, was the organ of the Douglas Democrats in the late Presidential campaign, and the editor, a bold and gifted Irishman, JOHN MAGINNIS, Esq., resisted the traitors to the last, and, oven in the midst of the reign of terror, continued to denounce and ridicule them. It is to be hoped that care has been taken to indemnify him, if, as we believe will prove to be the case, be has been steadily loyal.

WASHINGTON, May 14, 1862 There is a marked difference between a leader of the Democratic party in the army, and a lender of the Democratic party in private life. [When I speak of the Democratic party, I meals that known as such when Buchanan was elected President on a principle which he betrayed as wickedly as he had solemnly sworn to support it, not the counterfeit and sham, the brazen preparation for disunion which, under the banner of. Breekinridge, with the aid of Buchanan, hurried the Republic into civil war.] Thy soldier-Democrat has tasted the sweets of life in the Seceded States. He has summered and wintered among the F. F. the F. F. M. , s, anti the F. F. IC. , s and T.la— and now he is having a new enjoyment among the first families of Louisiana. He finds that all those who have willingly accepted treason, like men who com mit murder, or rob banks, or fire houses, here parted with remorse and kekelitiiiie, and have put their lives upon the issue of the re bellion. That there are thousands in the South who have been forced to yield to, and are ready at an opportunity to break from, these murderers, is probably very true, but the leaders and the maatera of the rebel move ment arc alike inhuman and desperate. This practical judgment of the contrivers and con trollers of the rebellion is pronounced by every Democrat in /he army that 1 have met in the lest year. If it were proper, I could name to you many who, in view of these facts, do not hesitate to advocate the most ex treme measures of legislation as a just and deserved punishment upon the traitors. As to the escaped *lures, they almost universally concede that they have been faithful and useful; and as to the cry against the Abolitionists, so patent among the Democratic leaders not in the army, that is best answered by the remark of a brigadier general, for yeartra leader in the ranks of the Democracy, a few days ago— " When I think what they are doing to my poor soldiers, and to the Union men of the South, who, like some politicians in the loyal States, think the Abolitionists the worst of men, I feel like waging a war to the knife against every disloyal alavoholder." Two days ago, I met, on the streets, an oli friend in the uniform of our country. lie had frequently quarreled with me for my own opinions. " Now, I tell you," ho said, IttGA" an explanation, ,6 I am for anything to puni,h and put down these traitors. I see there is a great row about not legislating for white men that evel ything that Congress does is done for the negroes. I am sick of this humbug. Do not there legitlaters know that our bzet in lo rmation comes from the contraband blacks ? Do they not know that this intelligence, often conveyed at risk of life, has saved thousands of our Union soldiers? And will they not see that all the atrocities committed upon these soldiers are committed by the orders, or under the sanction, of the white lead ers of the Rebellion ? Yes, I am for arming the blacks to save the free white' men of the army, and to erueh out the white rebels of the South." A case directly pertinent is pre sented in the following extract of a letter re ceived, a few days vo, by the lion. Jacob M. Howard, Senitor in Congressfrom Michigan. The writer a Democrat of high standing in Detroit and is connected with a well-known Democratic family in Western Pennsylvania, that especially represented by the Hon. William Wilkins, of Louisiana: The following is the mandate referred to by Capt. Wilkins : THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OP AMERICA! To the Marshal of the Western. _District of Vie gtnica Greeting: You are kereby commanded to summon The Bank of Rockingham, if it be found within your district, to appear before the District Court of the Confederate States of America Tor the Western dis trict of Virginia, at the court room of the said Dis trict Court, in the town of Lexington, on the 4th duy of Noce/ober, 1861, and then and there be answer under oath what property or effects of any alien enemy of the Confederate States of America it bad at the time of the smite , of this precede, or since such service has had under its possession or cunt] ot belonging to, or bolt for, any alien enemy of said States, or in what sum, if any, It is, or was, at the time of the service of this garnishment, or rinse halt been indebted to any alien enemy of said States; and further to do and perform what our court ;hall in this part consider and order, pursu ant to the provisions of the act of Congress of the Confederate States aforesaid, entitled "An ant for the sequestration of the estates, property, xad effects of alien enemies, and for the indemnity of citizens of the Confederate States, and persons aiding the seine in the existing wer with the United Stater," approved August 30, 1561, and this it ain't in no wise omit, and have then there this writ.

Trent you a few days since the mandate of the t(so-called) Confederate Court of Virginia to the ttekingham Bank; a measure preliminary to the confiscation of all the property of loyal citizens that could be reached. Every loyal citizen in the " valley of Virginia," through which •ur column iS now moving, has been stripped of everything the rebuild could carry away, Auutircile of prosperous farms have thus been laid desolate, hundreds of loyal men stripped of all they had. hundreds cast into loathsome prisons. When Jackson retired be fore us from Winchester, he arrested and took with him over fifty Union men of that place, whose only offence was loyalty to their country. And these men, many of them aged, and holding highly re spectable positions, were driven on foot behind his battgaga train, through rain and mud_ denied shel ter at night, and were often obliged to go all day without a meal. I speak of what Ido know. Lenity to these rebels only makes them believe that we are afraid of then They imply from our forbearance that we dare not punish.. Let us make baste to convince them that "our eagles bear the Ferreira of punishment as well as the shield of protection." B.espeetfully and sincerely yours, Ww. L. WlLkims, Captain and Assistant Adjutant General. These are the expressions of Democratic leaders in the army. How the DeinecrAtie leaders out of the army speak and act, has at. ready been shown. With rare exceptions, they content themselves with embarrassing the Administration, abusing the Abolitionists, and avoiding all allowances to the great struggle in which their cmtry le cPgegefl, WE APPREHEND that all current attempts to regalvanize the late Democratic party into ex istence as a distinct organization, will signally fail. There can be but one object held in view by the several individuals who have taken the job in charge, and that object is to embarrass the Administration. Whether it be the " simon pure" Breekiuridger, under the lead of 31r. DeCIIANAIf or the mischief making sort, under the auspices of VALLAN DIGHAAt & CO., flue object aimed at is one, and the end of each will just as certainly be one—defeat. Neither conservatism, as such, nor radicalism, as such, is destined to extricate the country from its perilous situation. But the party which embodies the strong common-sense of the country is bound to control the destinies of the Republic hence forth. No soured and vindictive heretofore partisan can construct a successful party or ganization in these times. Such men have private grudges to wreak, and will not be per mitted to wreak them at the expense of the country. Their legitimate field of operation is in bar-rooms and corner groceries, whose frequenters are commonly actuated by like motives in the performance of public duty. We do not here refer to honest differences of opinion, which are always sacred and to be respected ; but to the grovelling spirit of fac tion which moves certain members of all organized parties in some degree. Earnest and true Then Win not stop just now to spilt hairs, or settle mooted questions of political economy. The men who propose to deal with such wise distinctions, and who cannot con ceal the evidences of a soured and embittered spirit, are just fitted to the work of disorgani zation. In no other way can they so signally testify their hatred of order and prograns. They have a constant regard for the constitu tional rights of men who have repudiated the Constitution ; but who has ever heard them devote one hundred words consecutively to the condemnation of the high-handed treason which has filled the laud with tears and blood LARGE SALE Or DRY GOODS, LINEN GOODS, ROMNEY 7 &c.—The attention of purchasers is re quested to the large and fresh assortment of British, French, German, India, and domestic dry goods, hosiery, housekeeping linen goods, fancy articles, &e.
