147 The Constitutional Vnion is tlic title
of a new paper just started at Philadelphia,
by our old friend Col. Thomas B. i'lorsncc.
It is a political paper, of course, and pro
fesses to bo Democratic, but not of tlio
Jefferson or Jackson school. Wc need linnlly
Bay that it is of the Breckinridge nnd Val
landighuni stamp, as its name will readily
suggest to every intelligent num. Good
patriots and good Democrats go for the
Union ns our forefathers established it nnd
fought for it. Whenever you hear or sec
any one quality his support of the Union, by
the word constitutional or any other prefix,
you may rely on It, the Breckinridge cat is
lying concealed at the bottom ot the meal
tut) that the illustrated nigger, which our
neighbors of tho Breckinridge Democrat, ao
characteristically and appropriately intro
duced into their editorial columns last week,
will spring out iu due time. Breckinridge
was the chief and leader of the so-called
Constitutional party, that party which has
been the life and support of the rebels in
tho North, by giving them hope, aid and
f ncouragcnicnt. Breckinridge preached that
doctrine until the last hour of his departure
or desertion to the ranks of Jeff Davis, where
he now figures as a General, using all his
energies and power to shoot down and
slaughter the Jackson and Jefferson Demo
crats in tho Army now fighting for tho
Union. These Constitutional Union men,
who arc for tho Union under certain re
strictions who denounce the suspension of
tho Lfuheas Corpus all who complain of
taxes who endeavor to thwart and compli
cate the affairs of Government by introdu
cing political schemes instead of acting
from patriotic motives, in order to crawl
into some petty office, these men would, this
clay, feel perfectly at home under the lead
of Breckinridge, if it were not so unpleasant
and uncomfortable to live in Dixie.
The visit of the President and Gen.
Pope to General Scott, at West Point, has
excited no little interest and curiosity. The
New York journals suggest various reasons
for this sudden and unexpected visit. No
doubt the visit has something to do with
the movements of the Army, now before
Richmond.
Tho impression is that the rebel force at
Richmond lias been great ly exaggerated.
Some accounts state that not morn than
78,000 effective men can be mustered by the
rebels, the balance being sick and raw re
cruits. The rebels admit that if General
Burnside should capture Fort Darling, and
our gun-boats be enabled to pass up James
river, Richmond would not hold out two
hours.
$-W Latest "War News. General Ic
C'lellan, from his Headquarters near Rich
mond, reports that on the 23th, General
Hooker's Division advanced on a new
position. Tho result was an obstinate resis
tance from the enemy, which lasted from 10
to o'clock. The rebels were forced to
give way. The position gained is impor
tant. Our loss in killed and wounded is
about 200.
A Bl'actifcl Appeal. Wc copy the fol
lowing beautiful appeal from the Nashville
(Tenn.) Union of the Hlhinst. Tho appeal
is applicable not only to Tennessee, but alao
to those from every other State who arc
now fighting under the banner of rebel
lion :
"Wanderers from the fold of patriotism,
who have gone from the protecting shadow,
of the shadow of th flag of our country, come
ch, come home ! Thousands of your neigh
bors stand with outstretched arms and ea
ger eye tearfully awaiting your return. Do
you not hear the clansmen of the Union ral
lying once morealon" the hills of Tennessee !
Break not on your tar the familiar strains of
taukee Doodle, Hail Columbia and the Star
Spangled Banner i Do you not behold the
same old flag which floated over Lundy's
Lane, and Lake C'hamplaiu, and Montcry
and Chcnultcpcc, and liucna Vi-ta, Hying at
the head of triumphant lotions and victori
ous navies I Do not your hearts w arm w ith
m you at the recollection of a thousand holy
and patriotic memories i Come back to the
Union. Desert the black flag of falling and
ignominious rcbelliou. i'ly from the rebel
camp as from a city cursed w ith the leprosy
or the plague."
TUB NATIONAL CREDIT.
The New York Tinus thus refers the
wonderful resources of the country, and its
power to su.stain its credit w hile conducting
a war that would Bankrupt almost any other
nation on earth.
"The nation has survived the discredit of
iu first war issues survived the ban of the
English Press and the disfavor of all Kuro
pean bankers and capitalists survived the
weak faith of its own people ; and now, at
the end of a year's war, is stronger and richer
thao when the war began. Loans, both
Slate aud National, can now be obtained
with more case and at less rates of interest
than ever before since the foundation of the
Government. Is this not a miracle iu the
history of uations Tho more we are
shaken by war, the more confidence wc have ;
tho more wc expend iu military defences,
the more fruitful the resources of the Gov
ernment." "Why arc the bonds of the United Stales
Government so much in demand and so
ragerly bought now, when they were so
heavy on the market one year ago I Simply
. because the war has developed the lite-pre-Bcrving
power and tho inexhaustible resour
ces of the Government, entitling it to popu
lar taitu aud confidence. It is not to be
denied that, for thirty years before this
rcbelliou broke out, our national existence
was a state of continual nightmare. The
Union was the object of continual denuncia
tion from thouauds of unbridled traitors.
An entire State, that of South Curoliuu, had
for year preserved a milieu isolation from
the sister Statusnot joining any National
party, not sympathizing iu any conUals f-r
the Presidency the people of the State,
indeed, never having voted directly for
Presidential Elector as the people of other
Stales did. It stood aloof from the National
Government, delilitratelv aud scornfully.
The baneful influence of South Carolina
extended, and a school of politicians, basing
its principles on that Stale practice, rapidly
overspread the South, and by professing
Democracy, gained National iwwrr. The
I'rotn dirnrrnl .McC'lellun'si Annj,
Henry J. Raymond, Esq., editor of the
New York Time, and now with the advance
of the Potomac anny, writes as follows t
Camp Bkfohe Richmond, Thursday Night,
June 10, 1802. I thought yesterday Hint a
fight was inevitable to-day. Everything
seemed ready for it, and, in point of fact,
wc escaped, it last evening by the (skin of
our teeth.
STRENGTH OF TItE It F. BEL.
The reports received here as to the
strength of tho Rebel army continue to be
conflicting. One of the prisoners taken yes
terday, who says he has liccn attached to the
Commissary Department, says that rations
were issued on Tuesday for 102,000 men.
This may ot may not be true. If it is, their
effect ivo-- force cannot exceed 75,000. The
general belief hero is that they have enough
men to make a very severe fight, and that
they arc determined to do it. No one in
the army now expects to have b short and
easy march into Richmond. They expect
to light their way, and it is but simple jus
tiec to say that they arc ready nnd eager to
do it. 1 lie whole army is tired ot inaction
and will welcome most heartily the order to
advauce whenever tho. General may sec fit
to kivc it.
i e hear from pretty good sources that
the same feeling pervades the Rebel army.
The troops from the Gulf States hnvc been
North a long time, on hard fare, with poor
clothing, nnd without having accomplished
anything of the least importance. They arc
getting tired ot it, und are anxious to have
the contest ended, one way or the other.
V cry many ot them are losing their interest
iu the w ar, and arc far more anxious to get
home than to reap any laurels they arc
likely to win in this war. Gen. Stoneman
says that he asked a squad of prisoners who
tell into his hands, a few days since, what
they were fighting for. They replied, "To
support the yt it I him n who got us into it."
An hour's speech could not belter have ex
plained the general motive ol the mass ot
the Southern army. Jlnw long they will
think it worth their while to support "the
gentlemen" who have pushed them into the
war, nt such a cost ot hlc to themselves,
remains to be seen. If wc beat this army,
I do not believe they can ever raise another.
There can be uo doubt whatever that not
only the army, but the people of Richmond
suffer great Iv from lack of provisions and
clothing. The Richmond papers arc full of
discussions on the subject, urging various
modes of relief, and seeking to calm the
ainirchensions of the people.
The following letter from Richmond, of a
recent date, gives important testimony on
the same subject. It is lrom a gentleman
whose name is well known, and who,
tniBt, will excuse this diversion of his letter
from its original destination :
Richmond, Friday, June 13, 1802. Dear
Mary : I am more than grateful foi your
long letter received by 31 r. Aylett last night,
A single line from you is more consoling
than all the news and messages that may be
otherwise brought me. So many persons
had come over and brought me no letter
that I had begun to think very hard ot it
but am glad to find you still hold mc in
remembrance.
I do not blame you for breaking up, for
it you had asked my advice at the time 1
should not have known how to give it or
what to sav, and was all the time willing to
leave it to your decision. But it galls mc
sorely to have what wc have been for years
gathering together, hauled away and scat
terca, and perhaps never cat Hered togethe
again. I am attached to everything at or
belonging to risrab, and so loudly looked
to it as a place ol rest.
I am opposed to selling our furniture o
anything else, except such things as you
think wc can do without, should wc ever go
to housekeeping again, because they cannot
be replaced for five times what they would
sell lor for years to come. You have no
idea of the destruction' of property and the
scarcity of everything. It is with great
difficulty clothing can be obtained for our
soldiers now, and it is getting worse every
day, and 1 expect wc shall need even our
bed tluthing to clothe ourselves aud our
negroes. I do not wish to sell the hogs or
anything else uuless you think we shall lose
them, Corbiu and Lot will, 1 hope, with
encouragement, keep oft the negroes. Give
Corbin, Lot, llliam, Henry and Nancy a
lollar apiece lor mc, und tell them 1 sent it
and desired to be remembered to them.
IV1I Henry to let Jimmy und Peter i loonies
have corn whenever they want it, and get
them to assist in trying to make a crop. He
id better take care ot what wheat is on
hand, for it is doubtful whether the growing
crop will be saved.
i ou speak ot wishing to get to Richmond.
Let me advise you not to come. Friends
that were glad to see you before would not
be now. It is near upon starvation here
with every one. Board $'3.50 P'-r day aud
nothing to eat at that. Mr. Dudley was
kind enough to give mc a room at the
depot, and he and I, and lour or five others,
are messing and doing our own marketing
and cooking. I will give you a sample of
what we pay for what we have' to eat :
Bacon, 00 cents per pound ; beef and lamb,
60 cents per pound; coffee, $1.30 per pound :
sugar, 60 cents ; greens, 50 cents per head ;
bread, 10 vents per lout'; molasses, $1 per
gallon.
I saw Eugene day before yesterday. He
is stationed live miles below here, immedi
ately on the railroad. 1 scud him bread
every morning by the cars. Claiborne was
in to sec ine lust Saturday, lie stands it
manfully. Ben is well and hearty, and is
about three miles from here. I have provi
ded them all with clothes, and w ill attend
to their wants as long as I am here. Bever
ly left lu re yesterday for Brunswick, but
will be back again in a few days to take
the captaincy of a company in Col. Cham
bliss' Regiment. The Colonel is au intimate
friend of his,
Both armies arc entrenching themselves
around this place, and I do not think a fight
will take place for some time. The advance
of the enemy in the direction of Hanover
Court House, iu the last two or three days,
will prevent my getting to King William,
as I expected. As soon as the way is clear
I ex pect to go to the upper parts of Hanover,
King William and King and Queen, to pur
chase provisions for the army. Give niv
love to Henry, and tell him to take care of
linn. 1 have given Frank to lien, and
would like to have Phis here if I could get
anything to feed him on. With much love,

Gclf, New Om.eajir, June 13, 1802.
Special Onlrrs No. B8. Wm. M. Clary, late
second officer of the United States stcarit
transport Saxon, and Stanislaus Boy, of
New Orleans, on the night of the 11th of
Juno instant, having forged a pretended
authority of thcMajor-Gencral Commanding,
being armed, in company with other evil
disposed persons, under false names and in
a pretended uniform of tho soldiers of the
United States, entered the house of a peace
able citizen, No. 03 Toulouse street, about
the hour of 11 o'clock in the night time,
and there, in a pretended search for arms
and treasonable correspondence, by virtue
of such forged authority plundered said
house und stole therefrom eighteen hundred
and eighty-live dollars, in current bank
notes, one gold watch and chain, aud one
bosom pin.
1 Ins outrage was reported to the Com-
niandinu General at l'-J o'clock, A. M., on
the 12th day of June instant, and by his
order Clary and Roy were detected and ar
rested on the same day, and brought before
the Commanding General at 1 o clock, Y. M.,
of this day, when and where it appeared by
incontrovertible evidence, that the tacts
above stated were true, and all material
parts thereof were voluntarily confessed by
Clary anil Koy.
It further appeared that Clary and Roy
had before this occasion visited other houses
of peaceable citizens in the ni.-ht time, for
like purposes aim under like lalse pretences,
"lira-ss knuckles," burglars' keys nod a
portion of the stolen property, and other
property stolen from other parties, wre
found upon the person of Roy, and in his
lodgings.
Whereupon, after a full hearing of the
defence of said Clary nnd Roy, and due
consideration of the evidence, it was ordered
by the Commanding General that Wm. M.
Clary and Stanislaus Roy, for their offences,
be punished by being hanged by the neck
until they were dead, and this sentence be
executed upon them and each of them, be
tween the hours of eight o'clock, A. M., and
twelve M., on Monday, the Kith of June
instaut, at or near the Parish Prison, iu the

Yesterday General Butler examined the
eases of George W. Crage, first mate of the
United States transport ship New York,
Frank Newton, private in the Thirteenth
Connecticut Regiment, and Theodore Leib,
a citizen of this city. Leib stated that that
was not his true name. The defendants
were charged with belonging to the same
gang which robbed the house JNo. iia lou
louse street, of $1485, on the night of the

Tlie Richmond papers ol Saturday contain

Monday last, between five Federal regiments
with a battery of Parrott guns, and parts of
four Coutederate regiments and a battery.
The battle lasted all day. with a heavy loss
on both sides.
The Charleston Mercury feared that the
battle would bo renewed the next day, and
expressed apprehensions for the safety of the
city in consequence ot the great exnaustion
of tho Southern troops and the loss of many
officers.
Generals Evnns and Pcmbcrton compli
ment the troops for their bravery in stand

batteries.
The fight took place within four miles of
Charleston, and trom the toneot an editorial
of the Mercury I should think that the Re
bels have been cut off from a retreat by our
cun-boats. If this be so, Charleston rnttst

wounded. We buried on the Held one nun

Special telegraphic despatches to the
Augusta (Geo.) papers, dated Charleston,
the 10th. says : "A severe battle took place
this moraine on James Island, four miles
from the city. Five regiments of Federals
with artillery, attacked our batteries at
Secessionville. Col. Lamar commanded the
Confederates, and, with a few hundred troops
repulsed the enemy three times with great
slaughter. The enemy fought bravely, but
was defeated. Our victory was complete.
The enemy's loss is supposed to be about 400
including 80 prisoners. Our loss is esti
mated at from 50 to 100. Colonel Lamar is
wounded ; Captain Reed and King, and
Lieutenant Edwards were killed. The at

in cultivating this fruit in their gardens. It is surpris

and not ao highly flavored as somo other varieties.
The Triumph dc Uand is a largo dark red berry and

prosperous condition than now, and our operators are
as happy as lords just come into possession of their

valley of tho Lehigh has advanced the price of coal
in the eastern markets about fl.50 per ton. The
advance at this place is, perhaps, aloul M ocnU por
ton. The rosult is that our operators at Khamokin
are sending most of their coul east by the Mine Hill
road. This company is taking advantage of Ibis
state of things, and is extending every facility to the
operators. We are informed that a locomotive passes
up the grade at Locust Gap every balf hour with
loaded ears for the trains east.
While theso prices continue, our operators are
reaping s harvest, as wcleome as it was unexpected.
While we regret the cause we are pleased to ace the

a most precarious business, involving a large capital
and much labor, and tho operators, as s general

seventy-live, escaped fiom injuries. The.
scene which ensued was horrible. Many of
the crew, frantic with paiu, jumped over
board, aud some of them were drowned.
Boats from the Conestoga, which was coming
up at the time to support tlio Mound City,
were sent to their relief; but the Rebels llrcd
on the men in the water with grape and
canister from their field-pieces, murdering
most of those who were attempting to es
cape. Being apprised of the state of affairs in
the river, Colonel Fitch's regiment pushed
forward and carried the fort by storm ut the
point of the bayonet. Tho Rebel works con
sisted of two b'attoriea, tho lower one mount
ing sis field pieces, and the upper ouc three
heavy siege guns, manned by from 400 to
501) men, under command of Colonel Fryo,
late of tho United Htutes Navy. About 200
Rebels ure said to have escaped, over 150
are reported killed aud wounded, aud thirty
taken prisoners.
Among the prisoners is Colonel Frye, who
was wounded in the shoulder. He has been
brought to Memphis by the Conestoga.
Captain Kelty, of the Mound City, was
severely scalded' about the face and hands.
Ho will recover. Second Master Hearth,
Third Master Kliwio, Fourth Master Sco
ville, Muster's Mate 11. R. Browne, Pay
master , Chief Engineer John Cox, and
Assistant Engineers John McAffec and Hol
lingsworth were killed. Pilot Chus. Young
was severely scalded, und is reported to have
since died. Surgeon Jones and Caqienter
Mauning were slightly scalded. From eighty
to ojie huudicd ot our sailors nave aircuiiy
becu buried, and over twenty are missing.
Colonel Fitch reports that but few or his
mcu were wounded and none killed, and but
for the unfortunate accident on the Mound
City, the Rebel works would have been
carried without loss on our sido. She can
easily bo repaired. The Flag Officer has
sent to Cairo for another crew. The Rebels
have obstructed the channel above, by sink
ing two large 6teumloats, and a gun-boat,
believed to be tho Maypol.

A band of persons, numbering one thou
sand mem, women and children, under the
leadership of one Morris, who claimed to le
the Prophet Moses, re appeared upon earth,
has formed a settlement thirty miles north
of this city, and committed numerous depre
dations upon citizens of the vicinity, lie

that the Lord would supply their wants.
Three of their number, disgusted with the
imposition, attempted to leave,' but were
arrested and placed in confinement, ud hea
vily ironed.
A writ of mlt'iiK corpus was issued by Chief
Justice Kenney, which was treated with
contempt.
A sufficient time having elapsed for the
production of the prisoners, a s-eeond writ,
with au order for the arrest of Morris for
contempt, and for the arrest of the leaders
of the gang und for false imprisonment, was
issued. For the execution of these S.IO
infantry and artillery was ordered out on the
11th by the Acting Governor, Fuller.
Morris and his men were found strongly
entrenched and thoroughly armed. Fight
ing ensued, and two of the Marshaall's posse
were killed.
On the loth the Rebels pretended to sur
render, but resisted anew, sad as sOonas the
attacking party Rppioaohed, a hand-to-hand
light ensued.
Morris wus killed, nnd another leader was
mortally wounded, and tho Rebels were
finally overcome. Several women and chil
dren were killed during the siege, Morris
refusing to put them in a place of safety.
The prisoners captured number one hundred
and forty-seven. They will be brought be

'While Profc.sor Lowe had one of his bal
loons up the other day, they opened on him
and the first shot passed between the ropes;
the next fell within a hundred yards of
where the detail of men were holding the
u'liy ropes, but did not explode ; he made a
descent, and reporting the. location of mut
ters, anchored his balloon in a ravine. Not
to be out-lone, the Professor soon had a
iiilantity of shovels and spades brought, and
in a short time he had a sufficient number
of bomb proofs thrown up, from which the
men could operate the ropes in safety. He
thinks he is perfectly secure in the cur oft lie
balloon.
Mrs. Senator Harlan fof Iowa) and Mrs.
Senator Wilkinson (of Minnesota) are here
on a mission ot humanity, to learn the wants
of sick and wounded soldiers. During the
last tew (lavs about two hundred bisters ot
Charity have come up as nurses, but they are
stationed tit lute House.
Professor Lowe now has three balloons in
flated and making ascensions tit ull hours of
day anil night. "Hie I nioii ' lloats over
Mechanicsville, ''The Intrepid" over New
Bridge, and "The Constitution" over the left
wing. .No movement can be made by the
Rebels, when there is a calm or the air is
free from fog, but it is instantly reported to
lieail-quarters.
It is believed by those who have a good
chance to know that the llebels cannot to
day raise out of the army in front of Hich'
mond sixty thousand men on w hom they can
rely, to make a charge upon us, or to stand
one from us. They have over a hundred
thousand on their rolls, but the sick, disaf
fected and militia number nearly titty per
cent, of the whole. They have all their best
men in front now, and should we break
through their lines, in tho rear would only
make confusion worse confounded. The
story about their having 200,000 men is mi
true, und only calculated to dishearten our
men, and encourage the Kebel cause.
The Richmond Dispatch, of the 21st, con

Mr. John F. Ilaynrs. a prominent and
most estimable citizen of Page county, well
known in Washington, where he has been
for some time engaged in business, came
from Washington to his home in Milford
after the advance of our army. The day af
ter Shields' Division had passed through the
town on its way to Kredriekshurg. sixteen of
the Louisiana Tigers came to llaynes' house
and asked permission to May over night.
He told them he would keep as many as his
house w ould accommodate. After searching
his house, eight of them left, the rest re
mained. They tpii'stioned him with regard
to his politics. He told them he was a
Whig and a Union man and voted for Bell
nnd Kvcrctt for President, He furthermore
gave them his word of honor that he would
not attempt to escape for five days. They
left iu the morning, after assuring him that
they had not been treated with such hospi
tality since they left Louisiana.
The same day apart of them, accompanied
by a neighbor, returned to his house, car
ried him a prisoner to Luray, and lodged
ma in jau. He was here, kept in cciuine
neat i lirht (lavs, when two mm came at
night and dirnandVl the key of the jailor,
staling that by order of Col. Ashby' thi y
were to remove two prisoners, Haynes nnd
1 icier, to ilarrisonlmrvr. 1 he lailors wife
o tie red to get a light, when they said they
did not want a light, fhfy only wanted the
kev. It was evident thev did not wish to
be lc.'ognied. The men were taken into
the woods, about a mile and a half from the
vil lingo, and murdered. After the return of
Gen. Shields, their bodies were there found
lightly covered with earth.
he General has information that, at a meet
ing of several citizens of I.uray, thrfjuesiion
was diseuh.-cd what should lie done with
these men, and a vote taken to put them to
death. One of the men, who demanded the
koy of the jailor and was concerned in the
murder, is named Gibbons. Ho formerly
lived neighbor of IIams, but had removed
to Georgia, and is now serving iu the Rebel
armv.
Theso facts I gathered frm a son of thr-
murdered man, Mr. Kllis A. Haynes, who
has been five years in California. Ho re
turned to New York about n month since,
and as soon as he considered it safe, Parted
for home, where hr arrived lard Thursday.
Deeming it unsafe to remain, he returned
hire with Gen. Shields, and is now vUiiing
friends living in the vicinity of Winchester.
Attor Jackson bad forced Hanks to retire
from the Valley, a man living at Powell's
I on, eight miles from V ood.itock, was ac-
jcusod by his neighbors for having carried
provisions to the latter placo, and sold to
our soldiers. He acknowledged that he had
louo so, and said he preferred the specie he
received in payment to Confederate notes.-
They immediately killed him near his own
door. His son saw the struggle and started
for his fathers assistance, when be was told
by his mother to run for his life. ITe started
to run, when several shots were fired at him
one of which struck him in the neck and
passed out at the cheek, bhuttcring the, jaw.
He, hewever, succeeded in making his es
cape. It is enough for mc to give these facts to
the public, leaving comment thereon to
abler pens, if indeed comment is neces
sary. rss'tt from .tlciiiphlt,

Over two hundred merchants have taken

l'rcaching the gospel of treason has been

The citsens of Brownsville, Hayward
