Significant Speech of Senator Trumbull, of .Illinpis--Wholesome but Distasteful Ad vice to Abolitionists. Hon, Lyman Trumbull, Senator of Illi nois, made the following speech at the Republican meeting held in the Court House square, Chicago, on Thursday even ing: Mr. Trumbull said : It was rather em barrasking to attempt to steak to an audi ence w insisted on hearing some one else, but solemn convictiont of duty com pelled him to speak, when under ordinary eirctonstan:.es he would ha•:e remained Mert. ($ Ile did not come to infiame their pas sions, already too much aroused. Their country- was .in danger, and they must look the airil in the face. No adjectives „jte could - pile up, no vile names he could apply to those who do not agree with him, calling them Capperheads and traitors, would assist in arresting the rebellion or in asserting the supremacy of the Consti tution and the laws. He did not desire to inspire them with luirrahs, but be wished to talk to their judgments and inspire them through ap peals to their reasons. The times, he said, are grave ! A ma jority of the people of our State are taking grounds against the Administration—and why ? In the name of heaven, why is this - I. I will tell you why ; I will point out to you some of our mistakes that they may be corrected in the future. The rea son is we have not adhered to Davy (.;rock et's motto, 'Be sure you are right and then go ahead!' (A voice—'We are always right!) I have lived long enough to know that I ant not infallible, perhaps you are ; I have some respect for the opinion of others. One of our mistakes is that we have allowed our opponents to make false issues. But this is not the worst. The great eitarec, the charge that has darn sited the• Administration above all others. isalsat.wa are in favor of the exerciie of arbitrary power, that we are opposed to the freedom of speech and opinion, to the freedom of the press, in favor of curtailing personal libet•t;, and in favor of a despots ism. Now we should not allow these things. We have been the advocate of free speech for the last forty years, and should not allow the part._ which, during the whole time, has advocated the gag to oeurp our place. We are fighting for the restoration of the union, and tl - e preser vation of the Constitution, and all the lib erties it guarantees to every citizen. And it makes me feel bad when I hear some honest friend, brimming full of patr;oli:.;rn, say Ire does not care for the Constitution, and does not want to have it forced into ids way or thrust in his lace until the war '(s over. The rebels cannot thrust it in .h is lace, for they have no rights under it save the right to be tried and huiig for treason. (Continued Applause.) In certain die triets the military law is supreme. Gen eral Grant is in command of an army in the State of Mississippi, which is in revolt. any one deny his right to make ar rests, his right to suppress newspapers, and to level trees, like 'those around you to night, in order to get a range for his guns? No. And yet these are all arbi trary powers. But these exercises of it are riot the tronhlesoine cases.

It here resolves itself into the plain naked question of whether the President and his Generals, by the simple clinking of a tele graith instrument, can cause the imprison ment of A, B, or C.

(Cries of 'We don't want any more of that.' 'What's that band for ?') Well, hear me through, for I will not be long, and the questions before you are of so much importance and gravity that yOu should listen patiently and, not only that, decide dispassionately. The Constitution is broad. It grants all pow er necessary, even for the suppression of treason in the North. (Applause.) Yes, zemlemen, it is just as legal and binding ' upon the General in the field, and the civil officers of. the nailer), as it is upon the humbleseeitizen in the !arid.

When Gregg brought his force up to the fight and became engaged the enemy gradual ly gave way, disputing every inch of the ground desperately. In this way our men made more than a dozen charges into the midst of the rebel ranks, relying almost en tirely upon the sabre, -vhich they used w;th terrible effect. The ene my on the other hand repeatedly charged but relied for the most part on their revolvers Both sides were repeatedly driven back in the course of the battle, though we succeeded in driving the rebels.

This report, permit fue to eay, is entirely without foundation in truth. I am still a Demo crat, in thought, word and deed. Every impulse of my heart. every political de sire or my soul, and every hope for the future of my country, is with, and for, and in the Democratic party. I solemnly believe there is no power, under Heaven, except the Democracy, that can now save our bleeding country from the fearful reign of anarchy, or the iron rule of mili tary despotism, which seems to be so rapidly nearing us. lam firmly convin ced that it is alone through and by the restoration to power of the old national Democratic party, that our federal Union, and the wonted peace and prosperity of our country are to be restored, and our boasted liberties preserved. With these solemn convictions firmly rooted in my mind, I would feel my'self a traitor to truth, to posterity, to country and to God, were I to renounce my Democratic faith for any of those secret political organiza tions, which, in my judgment, areas ad verse to truth and good morals, as they are destructive °fettle liberties of the people. All past history bears true and emphatic proof on this point. As for me, then, I am resolved to adhere to the Dem -o::ratic organization so long as it remains true to its past history, and loyal to the Constitution and laws; and I would ad vise and admonish all others who prefer peace, prosperity and Constitutional liber ty to civil war, bankruptcy and military despotism. to do likewise. ant for supporting the tiovernment, e nforcing it.- laws. orumb:lig, the Retiell:ul; Atl our heroic soldiers in the bell.

A corresponde!t writes from the Rappa hannock, on Satorday :—Yesterday morn ing the Engineer 'brigade was ordered to the river, with a pontoon train sufficient for two bridges. fowe's splendid fighting division of the S Nth corps was selected for the work of cro., , iug. the point for laying the bridges was just below the mouth of Deep run, at the identical spot where we have crossed twice before. Our infantry and artillery-, as well as the engi neers, began to debouch on the open plain opposite the crossing soon after noon, but for some reason, active operations were not commenced until about five o'clock.— During the afternoon the pickets of the enemy /ounged on the opposite bank, ap parently filled with astonishment at the preparations of this "demoralized and weakened" army, which were going on right under their noses. Sa'e this picket of the enemy, no other force was and the impression was strong that the enemy had left. About five o'olock the engineers drove their teams down to the river bank, and commenced unloading. The rebels at once betook themselves to the rifle-pits, and commenced firing. Their rifle-pit here is a very strong one, and our men were within very close range. Quite a number of the engineers were soon wound ed, and it was evident that the old and successful method of pushing men across in boats would have to be adopted. Gen eral Howe at once odered the Twenty sixth New Jersey, Col. Morrison, of the Vermont Brigade to man the boats, push over and storm the rifle-pits. Six of the batteries of the Sixth corps, viz : Williston's Butler's Haines', Mc- Cartney's, Cowan's and McCarthy's, were placed in position on the plain, and for nearly two hours shelled the rifle pits and the flanks of position very vigorously.— Their practice was excellent, the rifle pits being almost demolished, yet the casual ties among the enemy by shells were few. rhe rebels stuck to their position until the gallant Jerseytnen set tbot on the south side of the river, at afoot 2 o'clock, when, notwithstanding the shower of can ister sent after them, they fled before the rapid charge of our men. Indeed, they could not well leave before, for our guns completely swept the plain, and the rifle pit eras by far the safest [iace for them.— The 2dtlt New Jersey was soon followed by the Vermont regiment, and that whole brigade crossed in the boats, Skirmishes were immediately deployed, ant were at once advanced in the direc tion of the Bowling Green road, covering Deei run on our right. and a point below 'Mansfield on our left,. Some .-ixtv or sev • enty prisoners wets soon brought in, being the mah, part of Cie force which had oc cupied the rifle pit. They helonged chief ly to the Second Florida regiment. By dark our skirmishers had advanced near ly to the edge of the timber beyond the Bowling Green road, without having met the enemy in force. Pickets, skirmishers and scouts were Tienty. however, and in the direction of Fredeckshurg the rifle Its seemed to he fold of men. The ene my used no artillery against us, 1.111 , 1 pone was seen. A few ‘vagorit-. h =ti!y moved down the Telegraph Road, and a few tents seen south of Fred,H,L,l.,r.z. At eight o'clock last night, when I left the spit, At ten o'- the9e were all Cie insiiertt . ow3 that lad been di covered. The prisoners give hut little informa tion relative to the enemy. Enough was karm!, however, to convince us that a large portion of the enemy's to:ce is still in the neighl:orliocii of Salem Church aid Chancellorsviilc, apparently on the watch for our movements, rather than on any offensive demonstration of their own.— The charge of the New J. - tsey regiment [Twenty sixth] is deservin ; of especial praise. Almostany other regiment would have done the aloe, Let, they are nine month's tarn, and their time is out in three days. They thus go home crowned with the glory of this additional achievement, and thus add to the lustre or the arms of that State already won on many a battle-field. The cor.duct of all our men was most admirable. The 15th and 50th New York and the Regular battalion behaved manfully, ar,d withstood a murderous fire at close range. Our casualties are five or six killed and thirty-five to forty wounded. Among the former we have to lament Capt. Chas. E. Cross, of the Regular En gineers, shot. through the brain, while at the river bank, in charge oldie bridge de tails. lie was a gallant and accomplish ed officer, and his loss is deeply regretted. He had rendered valuable services at every former crossing, and was promptly at his post again when he was struck by the fatal bullet. 11 O'CLOCK, A. In.—Another squad of prisoners, to the number of thirty, captur ed during the night, were brought in this morning. They report a small force of two or three regiments immediately in our front, bKt give little further clue to what is going on within their own lines. Our force is gradually feeling its way out, aid ed by a coupe of 6i4t teries of artillery, and there has been more or less skirmishing and eonsidera Ede shelling on the extreme trout ever since sunrise. The bridges were completed about nine o'clock last evening, and the remainder of liowe's division passed over and took position ior the night. Certain disposi tions are being mane at 11)75 hour which will demonstrate something positive be fore night. 'Within the last few minutes the muz..ketry firing has been quite fre quent, and our forces have evidently flash ed the enemy in considerable force. The boldness of this move attracts con siderable comment. It Was entirely un expected, even to corps commanders, until the order was given to have the troops , -* -17 proceed to tne river. it. s ; a , new feature i in reconnoissance to cross a river like the Rappahannock in the face of the enemy on pontoon bridges. Whatever may have been Gen. Lee's intentions, this little epi sode cannot fail to attract hie attention, and seriously interfere with.hisdittling de sign to transfer the horrors of war to Northern soil. This "demoralized and weakened" army is a party' to that ar- lt fag. rangement. P. S.—l have just learned further and more definite parti:elars concerning the enemy's movemertte._ Our crossing the rk - er surprised them rd..) , much, prisoners stating that they had no idea we would make the attempt in daylight, and they had even postponed the rein forcement of their pickets until night, confident that we would not attempt to cross until after dark. The operations caused a great commotion among the ene my, and Longatreet's corps, was massed in Fredericksburg last night, fully expecting the place to be attacked by daylight This morning they moved off to the right in the direction of Hamilton's Crossing. It is fully ascertained now that the rebel force is nearly all yet in this vicin ity, and that Gen. Lee has not yet really begun any independent movement of his own, although his intention to do so is pretty evident. It is quite probable, also, that whatever movements Gen. Lee has made during the past week have been based upon suppositions of our move ments as much as upon anything else:— Our casualties Will not exceed thirty. Progress of the Siege of 'Vicks burg. A correspondent writes on June 2d from the rear of icksburg: Ev erything has settled down into that dull, dreary monotony which was at once the curse and death of so many during the siege of Vicksburg last summer. The weather is dread fully hot, and its enervating effects are already seen in the faces and forms of the stoutest men. Since the brilliant occupancy of the rear of Vicksburg, on the 18th of May, the army has been indulged in par donable platitudes about the taking of the city; but .1 should be guilty of withholding the truth if 1 failed to . state that the task seems to in crease in magnitude. Indeed "when we take Vicksburg" begins to sound like a joke • but, like everything else more difficuit of solution, it has its pros and cons. We have been two weeks knocking at the gates of Vicksburg; we have tried to hammer them down by heavy artillery, and still they are closed. The labor performed by our troops on the "gradual approach" is im mense. Long tiers of rifle pits, strong field works for siege guns, and covered ways surround the ene my, and frown upon hit% all along our lines. Our artillerists wake up the gentlemen of the Confederate States at divers and sundry times during the night, but HO reply is made to our guns. What between the shell from our batteries and the 13-inchers from the mortars, a com fortable repose in the rebel city must be a matter of extreme mincer. tainty ; but the occupants bold out with a fortitude arid unconcern, as far as results can be seen, 4rely ad mirable. The report, which has gained eircu laticn, that on and after July Ist all letters desposited in the postoffice for mailing, on which the postage is short instead of being sent forward as now will he kept and treated as if there were no stamps on them, is not cor rect. Letters upon which postage is short will, after the new law goes in to caeca, be forwarded as now, but double the defficieney will be demand ed on delivery. This is the only change, and will probably be a suffi cient inOncement to the prepayment of full postage. From the first day of May last, all postage due on unpaid letters received from foreign coun tries in the mails dispatched to this country from Great Britain, Ireland Prussia, Hamburg, Bremen or Bel gium, must be collected in specie or its equivalent, agreeable to a recent order from the Post Office Depart ment to postmasters throughout the country. Return of Geu, Binir 9 s Expedi- Cult;Aco, June B.—A special dispatch, dated Walnut Hills, June 2d, says Gen. Blair's expedition had returned 'without the loss of a man. They have scoured fifty-six miles of the country from the Big Black to the Yazoo. Several bridge, grist mills and cotton gins, which were used to grind corn, were destroyed, to gether with a large quantity of cotton, marked C. S. A. The expedition repor,s that the country toward Yazoo City is teeming w;th agricultural riches, cattle, sheep and hogs abound, and flourishing crops are seen on every side, Hundreds of negroes stampeded at the approach of our troops, and followed them into our lines. Joe Johnston has not been heard from definitely, and it is supposed that he cannot raise a force sufficient to attack Grant.
