SATURDAY, ,TUNE 14, 1862.
D'EspAreiras from all sides are establishing
Our immediate military successes. The great
operations in the West have resulted in our
;favor; BEAUREOARD is on the retreat; and
- the operations in Virginia promise the posses
sion or tke abandonment of Richmond. But
news comes, also, of successful guerilla war
fare
on the part of the rebels, and even in
those State&tvirese occupation, atmain points,
- we thought 'would preclude the prolongation
•of the war by any such obstinate barbarity.
Kentucky and Tennessee are only -nominally
•ours while hordes of, assassins dragoon the
people into subjection, or plunder *them of
every necessity, of life. And now that Bia:n
itsomar's army is breaking up into large and
small fragments, and tilting to the mountains to
pursue this nomadic life of rapine and blood;
now that YsloCteaaaa's eventual occupancy
of Richmond develops the ultimate designs
Of the generals there in command and shows
them tending in the same brigandish direction
—the question comes home to us very serious
ly, what chance is there of such internecine
'warfare finding any termination, and what
means shall be used to effect the desired-re
sult ? We are beginning to iind . out the use
of relying upon latent` trnien feeling
at the South. There is such feeling there, and
Leaven be thanked for the heroism which has
asserted and accompanied its maintenance.
But it is indisintable that it does not exist to
such extent as to make it avalid adjucnt in
the restoration of the country. It is felt, but
not overwhelmingly felt. It is strong
enough to erect itself into a belligerent, hut
not strong enough to- declare itself a vic*.or.
It is sufliciently pronounced to provoke Oppo
sition, but cannot cope succwsfully with the
spirit which it raises. Instead of fighting ea
fair terms and with equal chances, it must en
dure the persecution of numbers or succumb.
The vast bulk of the Southern people seen
lerwated and lief elessly infected with the
tlack Nitta or treason; and in a country of
such exhaustless material resources as theirs,
Le irnpo,sible to subject seven millions
of A og'o•Sas ons by mere military authority.
' Neither will it do to .flafter ourselves that
these inarhudi vs are only outlying bands of
the rebel armies that are within supporting
distance., and that when the supports tall back
the mountain thieves must also dis ippeer.
•For BEAUJIECIAIII) has retreated ;• yet Tennes
see and, K. mucky are as much retested to•
day as ever. Manasias was left for Richmond,
Set JACKSGN and his fellows could scatter
themselves thruegh the mountains in every
direclion, at,d concentrate when they pleased
for a special raid.
Moreover, even if these.bands were bat
- flanking cottons of the rebel forces, it would
not relieve the difficulty. The question is not
what shall we do with them as parts of the
rebel army, but what shall we do with the
'rebel army alien it is disorganized as a mass,
and broken into these bands of freebooters?
The solution which we suggested yesterday is
the only one that we can consider 'adequate.
Grasp the problem as one will, the auswor is
not to be got front force; the mountains of
Circassia, Switzerland, and Italy, settle that.
We must to some quiet but all-prevading
political force, acting under the most favora
ble political conditions. We have already
Mentioned the• only one powerful and perva
sive enough to serve our hope—the grand.
law of all political life—selfishness. It is this
which, when the gates of Southern trade
are once completely in our hands, will
lently exorcise the demon - of rebellion. The
love of gain, and so of comfort and happiness,
is the ruling law of social and political life.
Rightly enough ; the practical woad woul I
die under the controlling influence of any
other motive. All other considerations are
overswept and drowned in this great rush for
.gain; and it is only the competition thus ex
cited that moves the wheels of life. It is as
certain as the foundation of the world—for the
is
principle the foundation of' the worldthat
when the Southern marts, depots, harbors,
and chief maritime and inland cities are re
stored' to the Union flag, Southern tradi will
gradually flow into its accustomed channels,
drawing with it the allegiance of the` people.
The only point for us to_ see to is that this
great principle.orPolitical Economy have fair
Conditions of operation. It is the law of
gain ; it must,' therefore', prove that what
ever sys'em ,it espouses is, practically,
more remunerative than any, other. The ro-
bullion has been instituted in defence of a
system of unpaid labor, and the pertiniclty
with which it has been maintained proves the
conviction of its adherents that it is the best .
road to wealth. They see in it tho essence of
their financial existence, and think they are •
fighting for life. We see in it Vie .ultimate
cause •of financial ruin, and are fighting ,tio
avoid death.' Now, how shall . the South' be •
disabused of an idea which humanity and the
history of civilization al ke condemn as being
as false to political as to moral truth? lay
armies Only as armies assist in transplanting
Northern labor to Southern soil, and infusing
fresh, free blood into the dried-up
of that unhappy land. It ie •Northern
industry that .will congeor the rebel
-Iton. The contest is virtually between.two
antagonistic systems of labor: our arms''ohn
only bring them into cleat) juataposi.ion ; a
triumph for our scheMe will then be made by
HS natural commercial workings. We will
prove to our Southern brethren that the law
of gain has more favorable conditions thin
those which they have so pertinaciously che
rished. It is this which will both dostroy
their false political system, and make their
industrial interests flow iri normal channels.
These preliminary conditions being estab
lished, it is easy to see how quickly every
e mptom of revolt will be suppressed. Law
lessness will have no part and can maintain no
existence in a system of things based upon
law. Moanttin bandits Will abandon their
lastnestes when there is no lorger any need
of sustaining by plunder a system of plunder:
TILE enoposEn new State of West Virginia
s now before Congress, praying admission
into the,Union. Her commissioners have re
cently been in Washington before the Ter.ito
eel Committees of the two Houses, laying be
fore them the historical documents and facts
connected with their movement. From all we
can learn, the prayer of the new State receives
on nearly every band a favorable hearing.
And so Aught. The people of West Virgi—
nia have entitled themselves, not only to the
justice, but to the partiality of the people of
the free States. And it is but justice that
they ask when they seek their admission as a
separate State from the Oid Dominion iuto the
Union. The West Virginians were the first
people in all the slave States who broke open
ground against the rebellion. Their Governor,
LETCItEIt, and all the Richmond authorities,
went off into rebellion. Most of the fore
most politic;ans throughout the State followed
snit. The rople were left not only de
fenceless, but w ith all the prestige of armed
officialism against them. Their country was
occupied early by Lerman's troop, who,
at one time in the rebellion, came and
burned bridges within fifty of Wheeling.
Yet, notwiths'anding the presence of these
troops in their midst, the people of West
Virginia notonly voted overwhelmingly against
the Ordinance of Secession, but began, almost.
as soon as their free-State neighbors, to organ
ize, not only for their own protection, but also
for the service of the common cause of the
Union. After their Governor had insolently
xefuried to respond to the call of the President
for Virginia's quota of troops, the people of
- the western portion of the State, in &fiance of
their , Governor, began responding, and to-day
they have in the field, in the armies of the
Union, eleven regiments of excellent troops
.—a greater number, in proportion to their po
pulation, than many of our own free States.
In addition to these United States troops, that: .
have, in most of the counties, organized home
,guards for sell-defence from guerilla raids and .
Secession manipulations in their midst.
These are some of the reasons why we
.eay that the people of West Virginia should
now have the attentive and partial ear of Con
gress in their application for admittance as a
mew State into the Union. In looking over :
the ground of their application we can see no
objection to it ; not one. Every requisition
of the Conet tution of the United States nits
been complied with, and more. The people
have, directly and indirectly, voted some
three or four times for a separate State.; and
the Legislature of the whole State—the same
that elected Messrs. Caaiu and Wu.rav
United States Senators from Virginia--bas
given its unanimous and unconditional assent.
There can be but one question in the minds of
members of Congress concerning the admis
sion of the new St ite, and that is not a
constitutional difficulty, but is in reference
to the slavery question. The Constitu
tion of the neW, State is silent up ,n that
question, -and refers action upon it to
the Legislature, which is thus given the
power at its very first session to abdish
it. There Is no doubt but that such will be
the speedy action,of the Legislature, because
the people of the new State have, in the most
emphatic way, declared that such is their will.
With the people -of West Virginia a new
State means a tree State, and they have
coupled the two together without distinction,
so far as we could observe, during their whole
movement. Slavery only exists among
them nominally. Within the boundaries
of their new State, comprising forty-four
large counties, there were, by the census of
1860, only about twelve thousand slaves, against
upwards of three hundred and thirty-six thou. ,
sand white people ; which is, as any one can
see, a disparity that foretells the speedy ex
tinction of the institution.' The people of
West Virginia have really never had any
taste for slavery, because they had no interest
in it. It was wholly unsuited to their climate,
and never could be made to take root in their
soil, despite all the effbrts - the paqern per
thn of the State to foster it. At the recent
election, for the adoption of the Conetitution
for'the proposed new State, the people, of their
own motion, and without any official provision
having been made on the subject, touk a vote
on gradual ' emancipation, and the vote for
it ran almost everywhere hand in hand with
the vote on the Constitution, and in one or
two counties we observe that it was even
larger then the vole for the Constitution. In
deed, the very fact that the Constitution did
not provide for, gradual emancipation- was
made the ground of objection to it by not a
few voters, who, on that account, refused to
vote for it.
It is proper that this exhibit of the popular
will should be considered by Congress in con
nection with the slavery question, in case any
cne may be disposed to raise that question,
which we think, under the circumstances,
should not he the case. We think that Con
gress should at once admit the new State, and
not keep her loyal and true people waiting and
anxious, as the devoted people of Kansas
were kept. To drive way the people of
West Virginia from Cengress back under
the domination of alaveholding and slave
breedingEastera and Middle Virginia, would
be cruelty to our friends. It would be doiug
just what disloyal Virginia would of all other
things desire. The fierce tone of the Rich
mond rapers in reference to the Western Vir
ginians shows on what the disloyalists are
bent if ever they can reassert their power in
the State. Nothing is so galling to their
pride as that any portion of Virginia should
have rebelled against the rebellion, and no
thinrwill be so unbearably galling to them as
the fact that the people whom they have so
long overtaxed for the benefit of an institution
in which they had no interest, have passed
au - ay into a State by themselves, beyond the
reach of their oppressors.
" True to the instincts of a loyal and just peo
pie, the Western Virginians have made ade
quate provision for the payment of their pro
portion of tile public debt as it stood prior to
the first day ofJanuary, 1861—that is, prior to
the rebellion. Of course they repudiate all,
debts incurred in the interest of Secession, and
this is one great reason why we say, that to
put the loyal portion of the State back under
the disloyal, and make her jointly liable for the
immense debt of Secession, would be an ex
treme of cruelty and injustice, which no one
could excuse himself to the nation for commit
ting. It is the tone of our exchanges, and we
believe that it is the hearty wish of the people
of the free States, that Congress afford instant
aid, to the people of. West Virginia. Their
admission ought .not, on any account, to be
delayed beyond this session. There is no
doubt but that the Legislature, which Gover
nor PIERPONT will soon be obliged to call to
gether at Richmond;made up as it will be of
many Representatives who have been clamed,
actively or sympathetically, in the rebellion,
will attempt to repeal the assent of the Legis—
lature that met at Wheeling, if, in the mean
tune the new State has not been admitted.
We ought not to expose a peeple who-have
been so true to us to such a liability. The
verdict of the people of the North would be
against any . delay that would i;esnit in detri
ment to the people of West Virginia. We
hope, therefore, to see the admission of the
new State promptly acted upon by Congress.
THE Box. F. W. HUGHES, OF SCHUYLKILL
COUNTY, emulous . of the doubtful immortality
that has crowned the mission' of the conspira
tors, has nominated hireielf as.th..„e .oracle of
'
gym athy with Secession to this " goodly
State) of •Pennsylvinia. The ardor of Mr.
llvanns'is somewhat in harmony with the ar
dor of those who act out his theories on -the
.battle-field. In 1860, when the Hon. JAMES
H. CAMPBELL was running as the ,Republican
candidate for Congress in the old dierict com
posed of Schuylkill and Northumberland, a
near relatiVe of P. W., JOHN liconES by name,
was put forward as the opposing or Breckin
ridge nominee. , The campaign on the part of
the latter was managed by the uncle for the
.nephew. F. F. had served"se a delegate, in
„the Charleston :and ps!titnere Conventions,
and followed out his conduct there, which
consisted in the most complete sithivvieney to
the proLslavery leaders, by industrious and vi
gorous attacks upon all who would not supiort
the Disunion candidate for President that
year, and upon all who did support Mr. Um
cora. Two results followed this'enterprise
of T. W. ihronEs. JAmsst g. CAMPBELL was
elected Ma straight tighOy; i'decided vote,
in a district which, in the days of our honest
Democracy; could give twenty-seven hundi:ed
Democratic majority, and Jolts, the nephew,
when Sumpter fell; packed up his household
good, and, with-his Southern wife on his arm, ,
between the night and the morning made an
ungraceful exit to Newhall), North Carulina.
Nothing daunted by this experience, however,
the affectionate uncle remains behind to renew
and continue his labor of love. A good story
is told of an old Democrat who happened in
the court house at Pottsville ,a week or ten
days ago, and. heird the tirade against the
Government that fell from the lips of this
eager advocate of Secession. Ou reaching his
hume one of his sons asked him h-,w he liked
the speech. et Well," said the good tpd man,.
c. I am afracl it did the rebels a great lealmora
go: d than the Dhmocratio party." And we
perceivethat others entertain the same opinion.
for one of the marked features of the' gr.rat
Union Mass Conventkn addressed by Mr.
C'Asirnma. on the day after Mr. lluouss hid
delivered himself, was the, presence of
numbers of that gallant Douglas Ddmscracy
who, having washed their hands of treason in
IE6O, have new no desire to be dipped anew
in the filthy pool. . ,

LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL
WASHINGTON, June 13, 1862
Notwithstanding the voluntary sympathy of
the Governments of England and France for
the Rebellion, the representatives of that Re
bellion now at London and Paris, according to
last accounts, have become objects or general
pity, derision, and contempt.. In proportion
as the conspiracy crumbles to pieces their situ
ation becomes more embarrassing and unenvi
able. Presently they will be despised by all
the intelligent classes, shunned by the officials,
and looked upon by the nobility as a set of
baffled and desperate gamesters. The dilemma
of these wretched and reckless oriminals—fer
so they are in every sense of the term—may be
faintly realized if we figure to ourselves the
picture of an Englishman who comes to the ,
United States to abuse his own country, or a
Frenchman who seeks popular applause by as
sailing France, or of an Italian who attempts
to fill his pockets by inventing and dissemi
nating slanders against his native land. From
such a spectacle all decent men would turn
with disguat. The joy and gra`itucle of the
loyal Americans now in the fold world, as
they contemplate the picture of their coun
try's greatness and power, as they point
foreigners to the resplendent records of
its triumphs over inconceivable obstacles and
dangers, is irresistible, contrasted with the
gloomy and despa'ring admission of their own
failure on the part of the followers of Slidell,
Mason, Dudley Mann, Rost, and their asso,"
Mates. There is not un arrival from the Uni
ted States that does not add to the, patriotic
exultation of the one side and to the agotrie'ng
despondency of the other. To make matters
worse, the Lendon Times turns the cold shoul
der upon the agents of treason, and, speaking
to its hundreds ot thousands of readers, tells
them that the story of our victories "is al
most as hard to believe as to: imagine what w:11
taimately happen ; that the number of men
,actually maintained in arms for upwards of a
year is something incredible, and that from a
populatima smaller than ,that of these Islands
the Northerners have not only sent seven
hundred thousand volunteers into the fidap
but have kept them there since last summer."
And this from the Times is echoed on the part
of other official organs of public opi
nion. Military France takes up the note
and swells the chorus. Napoleon, with
all his martial tastes and urot ambition, will
not fail to pronounce his judgment in favor of
the strong side of this heretofore mysterious
and vexations question. Everything con
svires to invite a favorable verdict, however
tardy and reluctant, from every other national
ity. When, in order to break this acclaim of
confidence in our strength and admiration
of our military, financial, agricultural, and
manufacturing resources, the emissaries of
the -rebellion attempt to pnt another face
upon the farts ; they will sink, if possible,
into 'a lower deep of degradation and shame.
Every word they utter against the country
they have sought to' betray will be turned
npon them. Every slander they coin and cir
culate will be nailed down as a c,ouriterfeit,
even by those who have beretotbre believed in
them. Wbat a future and what a tato have
befallen these proud and arrogant dema
gogues!. They dare not return to the United
Slates, and if they remain in other !awls they
' will become monuments of infamy. Like
the murderer who flies before pursuing
justice and hides .himself among strangers,
they will be driven into the obscurest corners of
the earth, finding shelter only where they aro
unknown, and saving themselves from punish
ment and detection by denying their own iden
• tity. Who would have anticipated, two short
years ago; such a.-sequel to the career of
haughty John Slidell Rich, luxurious, and
aristocratic in all his tastes, he had become so
bloated with a sense of his own importance as
to conceive himself strong enough to shape
the destinies of the country that had fed and
fostered hirit; and because be ruled and
ruined one poor old man he became intoxi
ca`ed with the idea - that he cou'd also rule and
ruin the Republic. And now, with the snows
of nearly seventy winters on his head, sur
rounded with a young and fashionable family,
he is seated like a , broken gambler. in the
midst of his'distressed•children, reading, with
an. eternal remorse, the voluMe of his own
deeds, and cowering before the effulgence of
the glory that beams from the victorious flag
of our-U . lllon. . • OCCASIONAL.
Cape May ler the Wounded.
To TUE EDITOR OF THE PRESS—Sir : The
arrival in. our cities of. so. many sick and_
wounded patriot soldiers, who have been made
victims to the infernal spirit of Seees.dou now
reigning throughout the South, awakens many sad
reflections in the minds of loyal and true-hearted
men. The deepest and tenderest emotions of our
natures are aroused when we think upon the suf
ferings and hardships which they have endured,
and which they are now enduring, for us—fur
liberty, union, and truth. '
The impulses of gratitude, and oven the feelings
of common kindness, prompt us to make at least an
effort for their.rolief. The moans best adapted to
attain that end should therefore be employed. It
has occurred to me, as it doubtless has to others,
anticipating the large increase in the numbers of
sick and wounded, in case other groat battle,' are
fought, that no better disposition could be made of
those langulskdog and dying heroes, than to have
them properly cared for in some healthy, quiet
place on the seashore; to have established hospi
tals, in some place, combining the advantages of
health and comfort with economy. Now, to my
mind, Cape Island is a very desirable situation for
the eatablisnment of such institutions, particularly
during the warm weather: If.there are to be no
boats to ply between this city and the capes daring
the summer months, very few of the hotels will be
opened, and even if some two or three steamers
Can bo chartered by interested parties, the number
of visitors would scarcely fill all the houses.
Any one that has ever visited the place can teq
tify to its advantage in a hygienic view., I have
visited there for the past ten years, and have re
peatedly experienced its beneficial effeots. The
pure and invigorating Bea air, the'fresh vegetablea
which are brought to the leland every day by the
inhabitants of the surrounding country, or are
relied en the Island, the walks along the betels,
aid the salt baths for the convalescent, will all
- combine to restore the strength, and reMperate
th(wasted energies.of the war worn, battle-bruised
soldier who may have been fighting to maintain
law and order, and liberty throughout the world.
It Iselin desirable because considerably less time
would be consumed .in transporting them there
than in bringing them to the hot, unhealthy city.
The 'hotels are well adapted for hospitals. They
contain many apartments, roomy and well aired.
The Government San rent them fur a fair compen
stition-;- and whatever of eapense there might be,
Would -be amply 'repaid in the inoreased isealth
and comfort of the men. There are long resident
and skilful physicians, among whom is Dr. Ken
nedy, who could co-operate with the Government
offioials in ministering to the wants of the soldiers.
In conclusion, I hope this suggestion may result in
something practical, and by inserting it in• the
columns of your widely-circulated paper,, it will
gain the publicity I desire.
I am,.sir, your obedient servant,

rior, and Gen. S. F. Cary, of Ohio.
Never was honor more reel wood, or fitting, thaw was
paid to the !sturdy patriot of Tennessee,. Her. William
G. Brownlow, at the Academy of Mus . c, last evening,
by the citizens of Philadelphia. Our people turned,out in
great numbers to honor the hero• patriot. They honored
themselves in extending so cordial, wo may say magnifi
cent end deserved a reception. The audience was, In all
respects, as flattering as ever graced the Academy. Oa`
the stage, the full area of which was made available, and
reserved for male invited status exclusively, were as
'ambled the elite of our city. Among them we noticed
Bon. Caleb B. Smith, Secretary of the Interior, Hon.
Horace Maynard, member of Congress from Tennessee,
and other United States officials, members of the Select
and Common Council, a large number of prominent citi
zens, army and navy officers, sod the reverend clergy,
who were represented almoet en masse, without distinc
tion of name or treed, barring a manifest proponderasce
of the Person's brethren of the Methodist persuasion.
At twenty minutes before eight o'clock, and between
that time and the hour of commencing, the band In the
orchestra discoursed patriotic music.
The emus presented from the stage when the distin
guished guest, accompanied by hie wife and daughter,
and an escort of prominent gentlemen, entered the house,
was one of intense interest. There were purpose and en
thusiasm upon every face
The anxiety to see the man whose devotion to princi
ple sod truth has risen like a cone:taus before the world,
retelling tbeheroism and martyrdom of other days, and
tobear the living words of one who hes had the courage,
amid perils such as few have over survived, to denounce
treason in its most hellah hut-bed, was depicted neon
every countenance. The breathing spirit of the whole
affair was &patriotism tbdt knows no North, no South,
no East, no West. It was not the "fighting parson"
that they came to hear ; rat the uncouth " denouncer
of traitors, nor the editor who covers the objects ef his

Men Er Lucifer. They went not "out to see a reed Asa
ken by the wind," but a prophet, whose food and rai
ment were, for a while, at least, worse than "locust and
wild honey," and whose prophecies, uttered in South Ca
rolina thirty years ago, have heerisingularly fulfilled, as
all mho read his wonderful book (of which the enormous
edition of eixty thousand volumes has already been or
deitd) will learn. , They wer t out to see as apostle - , who,
If be was not likoPaul, converted by a light from hea
yen, while on his way to the Damascus of treason, was
horn, reared, and will die in ;the T.Jnion faith. Like
Paul, ho bait suffered mrsecutions such as few can blast,
and that, while testifies with his own brethren ;.for as
touching the " institution," the Parson is a llubrow of
the Hebrews." His only glory, however, Is in the `'stars
and striper." Thank God, he has escaped Paul's tragic.
out, and under the burden of his trials has not only
grown stronger in his affections for the Union, but will

wbo dared to touch it she would instantly put to
death! Belichter of a noble sire, who, because of his
loyalty stern and true, has bane driven, by traitor hands
and traitor violence, from friends and home, who, brave

I have been accustomed to public speaking for the lest

upon the internal part of my direst, exhorted me when I
returned home to practise public speaking, end, if I could
bud uo other audience to address, to retire to the woods
in the neightorhoud of the town where I raeidee. and to
