Nearly all these were taken priso ners, and have since been paroled. e'..p much time having now elapsed since the battle, J shall not attempt to give an account of the part the 140th took in the action. Suffice it to say, that our Regi ment fully sustained her former good repu tation, showing that her idembers were as good soldiers on the battle-field as in the Camp, or on the drill-ground. In regard to one thing which occurred on that eventful day I wish to speak par ticularly, and to contradict an impression which has been for some time extant.— When the horses and men were all shot down from the sth Maine Battery it wss the 140th Regiment, Penna. V 01.., which hauled off the guns-, and prevented their falling into the hands of the enemy, and not the Irish Brigade, as has been mated jp some of our City papers. J.

Is this Treason 1 "The Union as it was will never bless the viaion of any pro-slavery fanatic or Se cession sympathiser; and it never ought to. it is a thing of the past, hated of every patriot, and destined never to curse an honeat'people, or blot the pages of 'history agai.o." Tlie',Chicago Tribune said it. Is this treason "The Union Aral ariexer, with my con sent, be restored under the .Constitution as it is, with slavery to be protected by it." Thaddeus Stevens, the Abolition leader in the House, said it. Is this treason? "Better recognize the Southern Confed eracy at once, and stop this effusion of blood, than to continue in .his ruinous policy, or have even a restoration of the Union as it was." .Cassius M. Clay said it, while the Pres iderkt was pursuing a conservative policy. Is this treason? "For one, I shall not vote another dol- • r or man for the war until it assumes a different standing, and tends directly to an anti-slavery result. millions for free dom. but not one cent for slavery!" Mr. Conway, abolition Representative in Coniresa, from Kansas, Said it, while therresident was pqrsuipg a conserva tive it all this 1 ).3 not treason—if it be Toy Alty—then is Mr. Valiandigharn indeed guilty: , of treason , for in all his speech es he has not said: •'Dissolve this Union? Never f. Never !"—Chieasio Times. MARK TUE DIFFERENCE Hundreds of leading Republicans and Republican papers are urging a dissolu tion of the Union. Some have advocated dissolution for years'; others, like the Tribune, believe in the doctrine of seces• sion ; others say that they want to "whip the South and then let them go ;" others say they will Lever consent to a restora tion of the Union; others say they are sick of the war and are willing to let the Southern States go off. In these and a score of similar forms of expression, hun dreds of the leading spirits of the Repub lican party have declared their willing ness to have the Union broken up, and their utter hostility to its restoration and perpetuation. But this is patriotism, and these men are patriots, according to the Republican dictionary. Qn the other hand, no Democrat was eye: heard to express or approve of any of these sentiments; no Democrat either advocates or approves of the doctrine of secession ; no Democrat is willing to see the Union dissolved ; all Democrats hold that its restoration and preservation are indiepensible to the proAperity of the country and the perpetuity of our free ipktitutions; and no Democrat avows a willingness to Make peace upon any other terms than a complete restoration of the old Union. But this is treason, and Dem crate are traitors, according to the Repub. Fcan dictionary. • We wish all our readers to ponder this great fact—this fundamental and vital difference between the two parties, and to note the daily proof of it which is fo , And in the avowals of leading men and pa pers. And having thus confirmed the fact, let them reflect upon the depth and height and magnitude of the impudence, the audacity, the rascality, the total de pravity displayed by these traitorous Re puhlicans in their wholesale charges o! "disloyalty" and sympathy with rebellion, so constantly made againsi the Democra cy.--Allentown Democrat Patience! Patience! We are not insensible to the trials which those who differ with the Admin istration as to the mode of saving the Union and conducting the Government, are called upon to endure. But we coun sel and urge our friends to be patient, hopeful and forbearing. Let them con tinue to act, under insult and provocation, in a way Idiot will challenge the admix f! tion of all who have respect for the rights of others. Let them be assured that the same quiet influence is again at work on the publics mind which developed such won derful results at the election in October last. 'When men come at last to see that there exists in our midst a purpose to place the office-holder■ higher than the people, and to deny the latter those rights of criticism and debate which have never before been withheld from American citi zens. they will not fail to apply the cor rective tit the ballot-box whilst it is yet within their reaeb.—Newark Advocate. NEW GOODS AT PORTER'S. The great excitement occasioned by the fright of speculators in dry goods, and the consequent unparalleled depression in prices. furnished an opportunity but sel dom afforded for buying bargains, and we are glad to be able to say that Waynes burg is to have a share of these. Our en terprising friend, Wm. A. Porter, was on hand, as lie always is on such occasions, and secured an immense quantity of goods, which he will sell as they were bought : at really astonishing low rates. These goods are not only ,pheap, but em brace also some of the pboicest styles we have ever seen. We predict for Porter such a rush as even he has rarely seen.— We would recommend buyers to pay him a call.

What the Democrats op pose is just that which prevents a vigorous prosecution of the war— that which has paralyzed all our own (itfog.tS„tia given energy and sittlength to the enemy--that which has divided the North and united the South. This is what Democrats op pose and will ever oppose. And they are unalterably hostile to the mistaken manner in which the war is now conducted, which can result only, for Avant of wisdom, energy and integrity, in ruin to the country. But to the preservation of the Gov ernment, the maintainanee of the Constitution, and the restoration of the Union, every true Democrat is ready to evote himself and all he has, now and forever.— Westmoreland Republican.

It is from General Hurlbut : He encloses a statement from an ordinance officer, showing the condition of affairs at 9 o'clock, on Friday night. The city of Vicksburg was not at that time taken. Great advantages had, how ever, been gained, although .the ene my made a than resistance. The impression prevailed that our forces would take Vicksburg the next day, as at that time we com pletely commanded the town. Our men had their colors planted on the enemy's works, and were lying on the extreme slope. (Gar captures were about 6,000 prisoners and seventy-four pieces of artillery, some of which has been destroyed. The position of our troops was within a mile or a mile and a halt of the court house.

No less than nine assaults had been made on the .Mexican works , but in almost every ease the assailants were repelled. The French losses are put down at 6,000 men, 3,000 deserters, and 242 prisoners. Among these we find seven officers. 'the Mexican Congress had been open 3d with a great deal of ceremony.

NEW YORK, May 29.—The Herald con tains the following dispatch :—lfeadrar fers Army of the Potomac, May 28 —'l'he enemy is in motion. The trains being observed moving towards Culpepper, fol lowed by a heavy column of troops. Gen. Lee, it is said, has issued an address to his army congratulating them on their past achievemelits, and foreshadowing a raid into Maryland. Ile tells them they are to have long and rapid marches through a country without railroad, and calls upon every man to be prepared for the severest hardships. The trains of the enemy have been seen for several days moving from the depot of supplies from Fredericksburg, and balloon reconnoissances have discovered a large column pushing rapidly in the directnat of Culpepper. ‘Vhether the army intends making a raid into Maryland or are c , r - dem . un ng to get between Gen. Hooker's army and Washington, we are unable to determine. Every one is on the Tel rive, and stirring news may be expected soon from the army of the Potoinac. Everything remains quiet along the river; a few additional rifle-pits are being thrown up on the south bank, bur the rebel pickets lounge in the shade as usual, apparently oblivious to all operations outside of their own sphere.

RUE BUT FROM VICKSIMIG. TUN ATIX'AOZ . ON 'BIDATI OUR AMY IN GOOD SPIRITS ! GRANT BEING REINFORCED Sr. Loots, May 29...—Mr. S. C. Scott, a well known river man, arrived here to-night, from Young's Point on Sunday last, He had been with Gen. Grant's army, and saw some of ira operations. He sass that our lhrces are well prepared to repel any attack in the rear. and were in the finest spirits, and confident of their ability to capture Vicksburg rison. and its gar. He says the attack on the fortifications on Friday was not made by our entire line, but by the force under Gen. Blair, which assaulted the big battery and failed. Wherever the reb els attempted to plant their guns, theic were foiled by our sharpshooters. Our wounded are being rapidly forwarded to the river at Chickasaw Bayou, where there were sufficient boats to receive them. The City of Memphis reached Cairo with four hundred and twenty wounded, and the January was next doe. Our base of supplies on the Yazoo was secure, and reinforcements were arriving as rapidly as required. Specials front Memphis say that there was no hghting at Vicksburg since Monday Sher- man was on the right, near Hpines's Bluff; M'Clernand one and a half miles from the court house, in the centre, and M'Pherson at the lower part of Vicksburg, on the left.— Johnson is at Jackson with 14,000 mem. The Big Black bridge is in possession of the rebels. 3lost of the Vicksburg river batteries have been silenced, but the most dangerous ones are yet in operation, and the gunboats are shelling them. It is reported that Col. Dallies and Adjutant Hammack, of the 81st Illinois, have been killed. No advices from Murfreesboro. The ab sence of news is considered significant. It is believed that the army of the Cumberland is in motion. Gen. Burnside will soon take the field. What Illinois Has Done. Illinois will be a pleasant State for some people to live in when the draft is made. Officia. figures show that she has furnished an excess of 23,000 soldiers over the number required under all the calls made by the Pres ident. and if those now in service in Missouri are included, it will give her a surplus of 31.000.
