"Give us General McClcllnn Mid will
fight every battle over again from Williama

Oaks and give tig 'Little Mac,' and we w ill

the United States if the soldiers have any

f-fr VTe find the above going the rounds
of the copperhead papers. It shows conclu
sively that the whole object these cop
perheads have in view, is the election of a
partisan President, without any regard to
the suppression of the rebellion. If General
liooker had been in command of the army
instead of McClcllnn, when these buttles
were fought, Richmond would have been
captured. This fart is gci.srnliy admit
ted by competent militury men, as well
as by the rebels themselves. AVe have al
ways been friendly to Gen. McClcllan, but
it is useless to deny the fact that ho has
proved himself incompetent to leads large
army, and Vita attempt to screen that mill
tarv scroundrel. Fit. John Porter, has added
nothing to his character. His greatest folly
was. perhaps, in sufleri.ur the copperhead, i
to environ him with their coils which must
result in his destruction.

ference to tho Couscription or ratltcr, that
portion of it notifying all aliens who have
declared their intentions to consider them
selves subject to the conscription or else
leave the country within a specified time
meets with the heartiest approval of the
great mass of the people It is but right
that those who enjoy the protection of the
Government should aid in its preservation,
when, as now, it is threatened by traitors
and Rebels. There is a deal of idol I
talk here and there about appealing to for
eign consuls and foreign ministers for pro
tection, but the sooner that talk is done
with the better. Fight, pay, or emigrate.
That's what all hands have got to do, and
the sooner the better.
Elijah F. Purdy, tho "War-Horse" of Old
Tammany, in opposing the acceptance by
the Board of Supervisors of an invitation to
attend a Loyal Meeting on Monday, inti
mated his entire lack of sympathy with the
objects of the meeting, and his perfect will
ingness to be accounted a Copperhead. By
the following extract from "Livingston's
Royal Gazette," March, 1775 ("the times that
tried men's souls') it would seem that this
indifference to Human Freedom and tho Na
tional peril is hereditary :
March 28, 1775. Tliis evening was married, at
tho White Plains, Westchester County, New York,
Mr. Gabriel Purdy, youngest eon of Mr. Samuel Pur

of Mr. Jwcph Purdy, both of that loyal town

Query. Is Purdy of tho Nortliumha-ltnd
County Democrat, a descendant of the tory
family referred to ubove ? Muncy Luminary
t& White Plains, during the Revolu,
tiou, was noted for the numerous torics re
siding in that neighborhood. It is, however,
singular that out of the 37 Purdy's present,
not one patriot could be found, and that
very mother's son of them was a tory.
t" The little States of Massachusetts
and Connecticut alone sent more men into
the Continental armies than all tho present
Slave States and no British force was jer
niitted to hold a position on the Now Eng
land main. Burgoyne's formidable army
was defeated and captured mostly by the
Tankeo militia fresh from their plows, while
Charleston, S. C, was taken by tho British
whenever they choose, her slaveholders re
turning meekly and readily to British rule,
and the far South was over-run, crushed out,
subjugated, until a Yankee General (Grecue)
was sent with a few regulars to revive and
uphold tho Continental cause. These facts
show that tho Independence of America
was accomplished by the patriots of tho
North, and not by the slaveholders of the
South.
JST" Hooker asd McClellah. On Sun
day last, on the arrival of tho 2Cth regiment
of New York Volunteers, on their way homo
Mr. S. one of tho rebel Sympathizers of this
place approached an officer standing on tho
platform, and inqured how they liked nooker
as compared with McClcllan. Tho officer
replied that McClcllan was uo longer thought
of nor heard of in the army. S. wanted to
know why t Tho answer was that Hooker
was a "fighting mau" and a good officer. That
during the last battle Hooker could be seen
everywhere ill front encouraging his men.
That ho had been at Antictam and a num
ber of other battles under IcClcllau, but
had never seen hiui once among his men.
Tho truth is, there are men amongst us, un
fortunately who fuel a deeper interest in the
success of their party than their country
and if they could only deify and make Mc
Gltllan President, they would care but little
whether Jeff. Davis and slavery or the Uuion
was uppermost. Unforttiuatcly for General
McClellan he has been destroyed by being
placed in the hands of such men. We wrro
told iu Lewitiburg, a few days since, that
Mr. D., a wealthy and respectable farmer,
about 10 miles above that place, expressed
Lis regret at the success of our army in the
supposed capture of Richmond, and openly
. declared that he would much rather sec Jeff.
Davis' army successful thag Lincoln's. These
are the fruits of th teachings of newspapers
who, under the guise of democracy, are
secretly aiding in weakening the govern
ment, tnd paralyzing its efforts in the sup
pression of this wicked rebellion. .

tho seed of demoralization among the rest,
so that the laboring class, in fact, as well as

is at a Btand-still. The shelves in stores arc
almost everywhere empty ; the shop of the
artisan is abandoned and in ruins. The
people who are to be seen passively submit
to all that emanates from Richmond without
a murmur; they are for the most part simple

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
Camp op thk Second, Iowa Cavalry, )
Laorakoe, Tcnn., April 80. J
As you are already aware of the great
activity prevailing in tins region ot Rebel
dom, I will give you a sketch of what our
regiment, with others, havo been doing
lately. - J
On Fridav, the 17th inst., our brigade
consisting of the Sixth and Seventh Illinois
Cavalry, and the Second Iowa Cavalry,
started southward with live days rations,
and were to trust to Providence, through
Rebel generosity, for ham, which, by the
way, was most bountifully supplied. At
noon we passed tho well known Dick Smith
plantation, at which place one of our Sixth
Iowa Infantry boys was most brutally mur
dered last oununry, and in retaliation for
the murder, General Denver ordered his res
idence burned, with all his household effects.
He had an excellent library and much valua
ble property destroyed. We encamped for
the night a few miles west of Ripley.
At noon on tho second day we stopped
and took dinner with Colonel Joel H. Berry,
one of tho Mississippi delegates to the Char
leston Convention, who voted the State out
of the Union. He had heard that we were
coming, and left at midnight tho night be
fore. He had been Colonel in tho Rebel
army, but resigned, and now enjoys a pri
vate lite, liis servants, ot which, we havo
several, Bay that tho old fellow has been in
tho habit of skedaddling whenever our for
ces came anywhere near; but it so happened
that we came unexpectedly by his pluce,
called, and took him, his horse, revolver,
carbine, and several fine mules. Wo took
him along, but through some fair promise
no was released.
Our regiments each take a separate routo
and meet at statod points for several reasons.
He get all t tic shot-guns, rifles, muskets,
mules and horses that we can, break the
shooting-irons, and tell the negroes to mount
tiie mules and lollow. IJuickly do they go
at our bidding.
Tho news of our advance went somo six
or eight miles ahead of us, and the whole
country was panic-stricken. Rich old plant
ers would fly aud leave everything except
one or two loads of valuable property silver
plato, fine clothes, etc. We overhauled quite
a number and searched them. Of course
they were not harmed, and were advised to
return home and take care of their property.
One place we stopped at, all was deserted.
There was none to ask protection fbr private
property or any other kind. There - was
plenty of corn. Judder, ham, flour, meal, lard
dried apples, peaches, sugar ami molasses,
nice cans of butter, honey and preserves. Of
course the loys went iu j who wouldn't t
A lew miles from this place, a squad of
six of our boys stopped at a largo plantation.
The old aristocrat had left the night before,
taking with him some thirty horses and
mule. In the high state of excitement that
ho was laboring under before ho started,
ho ordered one of his men servants to go
along.
The servant refused to go, on account of
having a wife and a young child, which lie
did not wish to leave. Upon the refusal the
old chap shot his slave deal upon the spot,
and our boys saw the corpse before it was
buried next day. Why tho boys did not
burn him out I cannot tell.
Wo parsed through Pontotoc late on Sun
day evening, the Sixth Illinois on the ad
vance. They had, on entering the place,
shot two Rebels dead. This caused the
citizens to be much alarmed. Largo quanti
ties of suit had been found aud scattered
over the streets, in every direction. The
streets were perfectly white. Darkies said,
"Suit had coino down to-day. Yesterday
it was thirty dollars per bushel." Offices
and stores were opened in search of Rebel
supplies, papers and books were distributed
and the darkies in high glee, gathering
boxes of ribbons, lace, and fiuo fixtures
generally.
From Pontotoo we passed on to Houston,
Chickasaw couuty, leaving Okalona some
twelve miles to our left or east. Twelve
miles southeast of Houston, Col. Grierson
left us with the Sixth aud Seventh Illinois
and four pieces of light artillery.
It is said "That he iutended to go on to
Meridian, the great junoturo of tho life-cord
of ths existing rebellion, captor tbt place,
burn and kick up a dust generally. Then,
if ho thought the chance ot getting back to
this place harardons, he would striko for the
Mississippi River, below Vlcksburg. i ins is
a bold stroke, but in perfect keeping with
tho man, and we hope hewrill soon turn up
all right, after Laving turned Meridian and
the railroad in that vicinity wrong sldo up.
Yet, up to this date he Las not returned,
nor have we any dchnite news irom tuo ex
nndition. 1 ... jv , r i

on somo twentv-Ove miles southeast of
Houston, were attacked by about eight hun
dred shot-gun cavalry, which were soon
rpiMilsrrl bv our riflemen and a (little bull
dog as the boys call it) two-pound cannon,
that Colonel Grierson turned over to Colonel
Hatch, for uso on special occasions. At this
point we turned directly north, crossed
most dismal swamp, swam a deep creek, it
is said to avoid a battery in waiting for us,
but this dodge deluded them, ana also urew
their attention from Colonel Grierson, who
was then wending his way southward.
At sunset 23d, we went luto Okalona, of
course unexpected by all, for onlv tho nay
previous Southern cavalry and artillery had
passed down South alter us ; but here we
are, burning their depots, their barracks,
their buildiuas used for hospitals, and shame
to tho crazy citizens who Hew in terror and
let the fire run along the fences and get to a
a number of very tine residences, while ten
minutes' labor would havo saved all. So be
it : it made a most beautiful blaze.
The chivalry through this region are per
fectly confounded and horror-st neken. They
say the Abolition hordes are turned loose.
upon them, and they know not where to find
a hiding place. A squad of twenty of our
men found near ono hundred horses and
mules at one time. Another time we missed
our way, and suddenly came upon eight or
ten women who had been into a tleep wood
out-of-the-way place, where thev hud taken
and secreted their most valuablo property
aud were returning to their homes.

I From the Richmond Whig, of Tuosday 1
We have some further accounts of the raid
of the Yankee cavalrv upon the Frcdcricks-
burcr Railroad at Ashland. The engineer of
the ambulance train, which was captured,
discovered smoke ahead as he approached
Ashland, and suspecting something wrong,
slackened the speed of the train. A shower
of balls pelting against the side of the loco
motive and tender, soon convinced him that
the enemy were near. He ensconsed himself
in the tender, and thus escaped the bullets
aimed at him, but was in a few moments
captured by several Yankees, who mounted
the engine and compelled him to move the
train on the village.
Beside the sick and wounded soldiers who
were on the train, were Colonel S. Bussett
French, Aid to Governor Letcher, Mr. Roy
O. Crowley. Government Electrician, and
several others whose names we did not loam.
There were also two or three ladies. They
were all treated kindly by their captors, aud
concur in attributing to Colonel Davis, com
mander of the raiders, somo gentlemanly
and humane qualities not generally mani
fested by Yankee officer, r rom ono infor
mant we learn that Colonel Davis was com
municative, and so far indicated his insensi
bility to shame as to boast that he was a
native of King George county, Ya., and per
fectly familiar with the country through
which he conducted his gang of marauders.
It must be said to his credit, however, that
he did not require the removal of the sick
and wounded soldiers from the cars occupied
by them, contenting himself with the de
struction of the locomotive, "Thomas Sharp"
and the tender. The locomotive "Nicholas
Mil'.s," with the tender and wood train
attached, awaiting at Ashland the passage
of the ambulance train, were also destroyed.
"When the passengers discovered that they
were at tho mercy of the Yankees several of
them prudently cast several documents into
the stove of the car and applied a match to
them. .A package of Confederate treasury
notes, amounting to several thousand dol
lars, was transferred to the custody of a lady
who kindly concealed it in the folds of her
skirts until tho Yankees hud disappeared.
We have not heard that the passengers were
searched. They, together with the soldiers,
were all paroled by Col. Davis. Most of the
former walked to the city yesterday, on the
railroad.
The main body of the Yankees remained
for some tiime at Ashland, whilst a detach
ment proceeded to Hanover Court House,
tore up the Central Railroad truck at that
point, cut tho telegraph wires, nnd, also, it
is stated, burned the Court House. - This
was Yankee like. Tho detachment after
wards united, if we are correctly informed,
at Hungary Station, on the Fredericksburg
Railroad, and encamped during the night in
that vicinity. They destroyed several small
trestle bridges across tho "runs" and guiles
this side of Ashland, and also the water
tank at Hungary. Already a force is enga
ged in repairing the road, and it is hoped
that communication will be re-established
to-day.
From Hungary the raiders proceeded in
squads to tho Brooko turnpike, passing
along unfrequented roads and bridle paths,
evidently guided by some oue familiar with
the country. At tho parsonage in the
Brooko road this person was recognized by
a youth as an individual whom he had fre
quently seen iu Richmond, but had never
known his name. A squad of them went to
Captain John B. Young's, aud despoiled
that gentleman of three horses. A larger
squad ventured to Mr. John Stewart's furm,
four miles distant from the city, and stole
several horses. Other citizens in the neigh
borhood were doubtless served tho same
way. They seem to have remained in this
vicinity for some time, long enough for a
resolute body of mounted men to havo killed
or captured the entire party; but, so tar as
we are informed, no demonstration of the
kind was made, though any number of arm
ed men on horseback were galloping to and
fro through the streets of the city, during
tncir stay on tno lirooko road.
After tho Yankees had cavorted around
on the Brooko pike to their hearts' content
fed themselves and their horses, exchanged
their most jaded auimals for fresh steeds,
and waited in vain for somebody to come
and take them, they crossed over into tho
Meadow Bridge road, and visited the scene
rendered memorable by tho opening of the
battles around Richmond, on tho 20th of
June, last year. They crossed tho historic
Chickahominy and prevented pursuit by
tearing up the planks of tho short bridge
over this sluggish stream, wlihu can be
easily replaced. Unluckily, they captured
near this point a locomotive aud tender
which had been sent out on a reconnoisaoce
in the morning. The Central Railroad
bridgo or tretle-worl crogac the Chicka
homiuy parallel with, aud near the county
bridge, or bridges. The Yankees burned
one or two sections of this trest'.e-work, and
then ran the locomotive into the gap, pre
cipitating it, of course, into Hie mud and
water ot the Chickahominy. Tlte injury
done to the railroad at this point is not so
serious that it may not be repaired in a clay.
After leaving the shades of the Meadow
bridges, the marauders, full of glee, no
doubt, trotted on td Mcchuiiicsvillu, and
thence towards the York River Railroad.
At Tunstall's Station they fortunately en
countered a small portion of General Wise's
Brigade, who gave-them a volley which
emptied several saddles, and sent the rest of
the party in the direction of tho Pamunktv
River.
A messenger has arrived at Salt Lake
City with news of the murder of tweuty four
white men by the savages. A Urge party
have started in pursuit of the Indians.

communication at the river, that there would
be no unnecessary obstacles thrown in .tbeir

sending over the river, under flag of truce
considerable numbers of our wounded, who
have been paroled. For several days . past
supplies nnd medicines havo been sent over
from our side.
A report was current yesterday that tho
cnomy had left their innnidabio position

Dumbers had not been diminished. They
were still at that point yesterday morning
At the time ot our recrossing tue river at

two divisions of thecnemv's forces remained
on our front, near Chanccllorvillc, as a rear

Wu have made long marches, crossed

Hooker pushed forward two corps of his
army across tho Rappahannock. Thev were
under tue command ot General Sedgwick
who advanced them over to the south nnd
west with caution. They gathered up the
wounded that were left on the field of the
recent battles (comprising both soldiers of
tho Cniou and Rebel armies), and buried tho
dead.
When they reached tho "Wilderness" tho
scene ot the recent severe conflict, they dis
covered the woods on fire, and found tho
charred remains of a large number of sol
diers, mostly Rebels, who had crept to these
woods to avoid being trampled upon by tho
army in its retreat.
At an early hour this morning General
Hooker completed the crossing of his entire
arinv, together with his artillery, and nn
ample supply of ammunition aud stoics,
sutlicicnt to last uim eight days.
As soon as he w us across, the whole seven
corps were placed in motion and deployed
right nnd leu in search ot the enemy, who,
at the latest dates, had not been found
forco.
Owing to the terrible condition of th
roaas, the movements "of the army must
necessarily be slow for a dav or two, but th
coming week will probably wituess the
greatest conflict on this continent.
General Hooker does not desire reinforce
ments, but considers that the army he has
already under his command is as large as h
can muster.
It is not believed that Gi n. Ileiiitzelman
has gone to ruin force Hooker ; but there is
no doubt that his army is in motion.
This is the latest information received nt
Washington up to this hour. As I am un
able to use the telegraph, even to send these
good tidings, I send the despatch by a spe
cial messenger.
You may have no doubt of the fact that
Hooker is again across. Sunday Tranvrijif.
Yesterday afternoon a flag of truce was
scut across the Rappahannock, by Geu. I.ec,
with a letter to General Hooker, in which
it was stated that Lee's army wus deficient
in supplies and their communication cut off,
so that it was difficult to reinforce their com
missariat, considering it necessary that Gen.
Hooker should send over supplies for the
wounded soldiers iu the huuds of tlto Con
federates. '
Medical and hospital supplies were sent
over in responso to this communication,
which indicates so plainly tho grent success
of General Sloneinau's cavalry expedition.
Wathington Jitjiuhlicao, 0M.
Cincinnati, May 0. The news from be

The Rebels who escaped from Grand Gulf
retreated down the Mississippi, hastily pur
sued. They halted at the entrenchments at
Bayou Pierre, but were again routed.
A flight at Port Gibson, six miles in rear
of Grand Gulf, took place Inst week (Fri

Tho Cincinnati Commercial trivos tho
following account of . Vallandigham's ar
rest :
"A special train left this city at twelve
'clock Monday niirht. with a company of
the Thirteenth United States Infantry, sixty-
seven men, with directions from General
Burnside, commanding the Department of
the Ohio, to arrest C. L, Vallandigham, at
his residence in Davton. The train reached
Dayton at half past two o'clock, and, pro
ceeding to Vallandigham's house,- placed
guards on the streets in tho vicinity, and
the Captain commanding, with a squad of
men, surrounded tno house.
The doorbell was rung, and Vallan
digham appeared at the window and in
quired what was wanting I iuo captain
told him, but ho was not disposed to go
along peaceably. He shouted for the police
loudly, and the lemnie meinoers oi tue
family joined their cries to his. The captain
told him lie might as well stop me rus
turbancc, as he hud the force to arrest him,
and would certainly do so.
'Vallandigham then said lie was not
dressed. Tho captain told hira ho would
have time to dress himself, but he redoubled
his shouts for the police, when an attempt
was made to force the front door. The door
resisted tho efforts ot the soldiers, and Yal-
landiuham flourished a revolver at tho win
dow, und fired two or threo shots without
effect.
A sido door was then forced, and the
squad, finding all tho doors in tho lcbusc
fastened, . broke open .four of them before
they reached the apartment occupied by
tho individual with whom they had business,
who was soon taken and escorted to the
train, which was in Waiting.
"Some of Vallandigham's friends, luibriu
what was going on, rung the lire bells, with
tho intention ' of gathering a crowd to
attempt a rescue. But few persons appeared,
and thev cava no trouble. Vallandigham
was brought to the city, and lodged iu the
prison on Columbia street, between Sycamore
and Broadway, where no one was permitted
to see him without nn order from General
Burnside."
The Trlnlot"ViillanU(ihHiii.
The trial of Mr. Vallandigham having
been concluded, it willtiot be improper now
to publish the charges and specifications
against him. Tho Court Laving becu or
ganized, as published a few days since, the
Judgo Advocate read the lollowiug:
CHARGE.
Publicly expressing, in violation of Gen
oral Orders No- 38, trom Head -quarters,
Department of the Ohio, his sympathies for
those in arms agninst the Government of
the United States, declaring disloyal senti
ments nnd opinions, with the obje.t and
purpose of weakening the power f the
Government, in its elloits to supprets an
unlawful Rebellion.
SPECIFICATION.
In thi that the said Clement I.. Vul
lnndighuiil, a citizen of tho State of Ohio,
on or about the 1st day of May. 1S03, nt
Mount Vernon, Knox county, Ohio, did
publicly address a largo meeting of citizens
and did utter sentiments, iu words or in
ell'ect, as follows, declaring the present war
"a wicked, cruel and unnecessary war;"
"a war not being waged for the preservation
of the Uuion ;" "a war for the purpose of
crushing out liberty nnd erecting a des
potism ;" "a war for the freedom of the
blacks and the enslavement of the whites;"
stating "that if the Administration had so
wished, the war could have been honorably
terminated months nijo ;'' that "peace might
have been honorably obtained bv listening
to the proposed intermediation of France;"
that "propositions by which the Southern
States could be won back and the South be
guaranteed their rights under the Constitu
tion, hud been rejected the day before the
lute battlo at Fredericksburg, by Lincoln
and his minions j" meaning thereby the Pre
sident of the United States and those under
nim in authority. Charging "that the
Government of the United States were about
to appoint Military Marshals in every Dis
trict to restrain the people of their liberties,
to deprive them ot their rights and privi
leges. Characterizing General Order o. us.
from Head-quarters Department of the Ohio,
as "a buse usurpation of arbitrary authority,"
inviting his hearers to resist the came ly
saying, "the sooner the people intorm the
minions ot usurped power that tUey Vi lli not
submit to such restrictions upon their Illi
cit ies, the better;-' declaring "that he was
at all times, and upon all occasions resolved
to do what ho could to defeat the ntteinpts
now being madu to build up n monarchy
upon the ruinseyjur free Government :"
asserting "that La firmly believed, as he
said six months ago, that the men in power
aro attempting to establish a despotism in
this country more cruel und more oppressive
than ever existed before."
All of w hich opinions and sentiments lie
well knew did aid, comfort aud eucouiage
those in arms against the Government and
could but induce in bis hearers a distrust
of their own Government and sympathy for
those in arms aguiust it, and a deposition
to resist the laws of the land.
