doubtless they will peruse these lines with

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.

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.

Our Position
The Republican papers and party
falsely charge the Democracy with
opposing a "rigorous prosecution of
the war." 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

telegraphs from Fortress Monroe to
night that a flag of truce boat is ex

a deserter, who came into suffolk to
day from Franklin, stated that
Vicksburg had been taken. If this

General Hurlbut : He encloses a

showing the condition of affairs at 9

of Vicksburg was not at that time
taken. Great advantages had, how
ever, been gained, although

The impression prevailed that our
forces would take Vicksburg the
next day, as at that time we com

men had their colors planted on the
enemy's works, and were lying on
the extreme slope.
(Gar captures were about 6,000

Terrible Defeat of .tbe French
In addition to the .news received
by telegraph, ,we :have intelligence
direct from the city of Mexico to
the 2nd of May, contained in the
regular review of the lievista Quin
cenal of the Mexican capital, with
the official communications of Gens.
Ortega and Commonfort concerning
the recent struggle for the posses
sion of Puebla. From the 16th of
March, when the assault of the city
began, every effort of the French
had been met by disaster, and on
the 2d of May they had not yet ac
complished anything worth naming.
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.

The official statement of losses in

is as follows Killod , I,SJB ; wound

killed will be slightly varied when
the list is collated with the list of ex

of the wounded were but slightly in

Lee's Army In Motion—Another
Raid Into Maryland.
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.

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.

Business of importance will be aubittitted.
Wool.
We have to report a rather better feel
ing in the market. There has been more
disposition shown among consumers to
purchase domestic fleeces, and two hun
dred thousand pounds have been roported
sold at 65080 cents. We hear of no
sales of pulled. Of foreign the sales are
20,000 ppunds Donskoi at 48 cents, 380,-
000 Its Valparaiso and 18 bales Mestizo,
on private terms. There is no fine or me
dium wools• selling. The stook of fine
grades is increasing, but holders are firm
in their views, and it is thought that
there will not be much decline as the
reason advances.—N. Y. Price Current.

ed to supply them with Wood's celebrated
"World' , , , Trial Prize Mower."
Among till numerous Prizes awarded
this Machine, are the following :
At the Great French National Trial,
near Vicennes, nutler the auspices of Em
peror Napoleon, it took the grand Gold
Medal of Honor, as the best Mower,
either Foreign or Native, and a special
Gold Medal and 1000 Francs as the best
Foreign ; the grand Gold Medal of Honor
at Gastrow, Mecklenberg Exhibition and
Trial in Germat.y ; the Great Prize, under
the auspices of Queen Victoria, at Leeds,
England, in the great Quadrennial Trial
by the National Agricultural Society,
where it came in competition with some
twenty American Machines, besides a large
number of European. The trial lasted
some eight days, being the most tlikrough
practical test ever yet got up.

Greene county who have purchased and
used the above mower :

Many valuable improvements have been
added since last harvest, making it the
most perfect and reliable mower in exist
brae.
This Mower is peculiariy adapted io
Steep' Giound, front Ai , fact that the
Drive Wheels are lower than any other,
and at the same time nearly four feet
apart, thus making it almost as difficult
to upset as a sled, thus enabling a man to
mow on any ground which he can plow or
drives sled over.
OVER 12,000 OF THESE MOWERS
,ve been manufactured and sold during
te last..thlee years, which is about equal
