THE AGITATOR.
As’we go to press (he mails bring us the fol
lowing dispatch announcing the downfall of
Island Number Teh:
Chicago, Tuesday, April 8,1862.
The steamer Alps arrived at Cairo at 8 o’clock
this morning, bringing 2d Master Lord of tbe
flag-ship Benton, with dispatches from Com
modore Foote, announcing the surrender to him
at midnight of the entire position of the Reb- :
els, including men, guns, and transports. Tbe
number of prisoners is not yet known, nor tbe
amount of ordnance stores.
Tbe Tribune contains the following from the
army of the Potomac : The latest dispatches
received through the War Department from
Yorktnwn, and which arrived-here at 2 o’clock
this morning, supply concise, but interesting,
detaVs of. the advance of Gen. McClellan's for
ces on Yorktown, the strength of the Rebels,
the nature of their works of defense, and an
estimate of the labor and time required for the
reduction of tbe places There was considera
ble delay in crossing Deep Greek, but the dis
patch says all the fortified places of Importance
before Yorktown had been taken at every point.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed among tbe
National troops.
JSSS“Mb. Mason, at the opening of the Brit
ish Parliament, sat nest to tbd black Embassa
dor from Hayti, and didn’t dare to turn op his.
nose lest the British Abolitionists might sus
pect him of thinking- himself better than a
qigger.
fiSPAII officers engaged in the recruiting
Service have been ordered to tbeir regiments,
and notice given to the Governors of States
that no new enlistments nor new levies will be
received until further orders from the War De
partment. The force now in tbe field is deemed
amply -sufficient for the supression of tbe re
bellion and the speedy termination of tbe war.
B@“ Our readers will bear witness that we
have taken no part in the late crusade against
Gen. McClellan and his policy by a part of the
press of the country. We preferred to wait
and judge him by bis results. Our valued
correspondent, “Crocket, " has this week given
his opinion of the acts of that General, and
lest some might think these opinions are en
dorsed ,hy us, we now write these lines. We
dissent entirely from the views of our corres
pondent.
B@*As Guv. Sprague and his colleagues
elected in Rhode Island .without regard
to their politics, because they had done their
whole duty in upholding the Government and
invigorating the War, so Governor Buckingham
has been re-elected in Connecticut, not because
a majority of the voters are Republicans, (as
they doubtless are,) but because thousands who
are not Republicans, are resolved so to vote as
to proclaim unmistakably their abhorrence of
the Slaveholders’ Rebellion, and tfaeir determ-
inatiocPto stand by the Stars and Stripes.—
Hence the triumph of Monday is more over
whelming than that of any party at any form
er State Election for many years. The major
ity cannot be less than five thousand. The
Legislature is at least two-thirds Union’Repub
lican.
g©* We trust no one will fail to read the
letter of “Occasional,” (John W, Forney,) to
the Philadelphia Press, showing up the bear
ings of the self-styled democracy of the nation.
Cuming from one who knows so well the men
of whom he speaks, the article is entitled to
more than ordinary consideration. The fa. t
that the real democratic leaders of the country
are now openly and boldly on the side of free
dom, and against the re-instatemont of the
slave power, ought to convince those who are
still in doubt, that there can be no re-construc
tion of the Union which does not look to the
gradual abolishment of the great cause of this
horrible war. Read also Gov. Sprague’s ideas
on this same subject. He was claimed six
months ago by the pro-Slavory newspapers, as
a good Democrat. He will probably be de
nounced by those same journals hereafter, by
the terrible name of “abolitionist !*’ The world
moves.
tt®“On Thuisday last, April 3d, the D. S.
Senate passed the bill providing fur the Aboli
tion of Slavery in the District of Columbia by
the-decisive vote of 29 Yeas to 14 Nays—more
than two to one. All the Yeas were Republicans,
and we regret to state that only one Senator
from our State was present and voted Yea.
Mr, Cowan of this. State did not vote, and was
probably out of the city. All the anti-Repub
licans present voted Nay. Mr Pearce of Md.
was absent. A most important amendment
moved by Mr. Clark of N. 11. had been prevr
■ously adopted, providing that no one who has
aided the Rebellion shall receive any of the
compensation provided by this bill. If thi fl
can .be folly enforced, the cost of freeing the
slaves of the District wilt 'be light indeed.
Every claimant of compensation must make
oath that be has not aided the reltellinn, but
hie oath with not be conclusive. Another a
mendment was adopted providing that, in ta
king testimony, before the Commissionere whom
the bill creates, no witness shall be excluded
by reason of color. An amendment was also
adopted appropriating $lOO,OOO to aid the vol
untary emigration of the manumitted slaves to
Hayti, Liberia, or elsewhere. This will prob
ably be stricken opt in the House. As the bill
provides that “all persons held to- service or

and freed of and from such service or labor;”
we infer that the passage of this bill through
the House, and its approval by the President,
will put an end to Slavery in the Federal Me
tropolis without further delay.
-The passage by both Houses of-th«- Presi
dent’s Emancipation Resolution, shows conclu
sively that hereafter the policy of the Govern
ment will be on’ the ' side of Freedom, instead
of Slavery. Freedom is National—Slavery
Sectional.
LATEST WAE HEWS..
A despatch from 'General Wool was re
ceived at the War Department on Saturday,
stating that firing was heard during the day
at Torktbwn, He states further, that from
information just received; the Merrimac-was
the dry dock at Norfolk, but would come
out on Sunday, with two new guns mount
ed, one of them of heavy calibre. General
Wool does not think the Army of the Po
tomac will have many of the enemy'to con
tend with.
There is no newsjof importance from Is
land No. 10, except the details of intelli
gence already published. The river is fall
ing rapidly, which will facilitate the landing
of troops at any point on the The
firing from onr guns on Friday night com
pletely disabled the rebel floating battery;
one shell striking it directly killed three
men.
Gen. Geary had a brilliant skirmish on
Saturday last, at Middleburg, Va., with a
force of 300 rebel cavalry and a body of
infantry. He drove the rebels at the point
of the bayonet clear* through the towndn
great confusion, knapsacks, overcoats and
blankets beingflung away in the flight. The
rebels attempted to make a stand in a hollow
beyondthe town - , bat the rifles of ourtroops,
and the continuous fire from a gun planted
in the centre of the town, soon sent them
flying from their position. Goneral Geary’s
command has scoured the whole country as
far as Aldie. .
Our latest news from the belligerent arm
ies in the Southwest left them within 6
miles of each other, near Corinth. General
Grant was nearly pepared for the grand
battle, and the members of his staff who
were in' Cairo had all been ordered to report
for duty immediately. Gen. Buell was on
the line of the Nashville and Decatur rail
road, and was soon expected to join his
to the main army.
From Port Eoyal we leam that the bat
teries were preparing to attack Fort
Pulaski, and on the 30th heavy firing was
heard from that direction, and no doubt the
work had commenced. A schooner reports
the frigate Wabash has arrived from Fer
nandina; also that heavy firing was heard
on the 30th, in the direction of Savannah.
The positions where our advance batteries
now rest, commanding all the elevations be
yond Stoney creek, were selected by Gen.
Banks amid the hottest of the fire on Tues
day. They are unassailable by the enemy.
FBOM THE BUCK-TAILS.
■ Alexandria, Va.. April 1, 1862.
' Friend Agitator. —Another week hqs passed
away, and McCall's division is still left behind,
while tens of thousands have gone to more dis
tant battle-fields, and to other states. Every
day and every hour of the day, soldiers are
marching to the wharf and take shipping for
lands unknown.. Many of the Tioga boys have
already gone—Capl. Calkins, and his company
—also Capt. V. A Elliott, and the regiments to
which they belonged, have left. I little thought
when I ast wrote you, that another week would
still find us here, but it seems our fate to be the
last to move, but the first in ha t e.
Gen. McClellan is as busy as a bee, everv
moment of his time ; either dashing from camp
to camp—at the wharf, or the Capita), or else
in his room laying plans to puzzle the brains of
common politicians, and to crush this great re
bellion. Ills boat is now anchored in the bay,
with bis staff and body guard on hand, ready
to start at a moment’s warning; all must life
nearly ready, and I hope and trust in God, tha>
he will prove himself equal to the times, and I
have no reason to believe but what he will. I
kuoW many northern papers complain of hta
inactivity, and say that he has done nothing in
-the past four months, but they do not tell their
readers that all that Hallo,ik, and Foote have
dane, all that Burnside and Dupont have done,
all that Sigei and Curtis have done, and all that
they are still doing, has been done according to
the instructions df Gen. McClellan. They do
not tell their readers that it was a part of his
. plansto hold the best Generals, and the flower
of the Southern arpiy in Centerville, and Ma
nassas, while he flanked them on both Sides,
which be has done to a perfection. '
Last Tuesday, Gen. McDowell had a grand
review of his whole army. It was about two
miles from this place, on os fine a place as I
ever saw. It was a splendid sight, and as grand
an army of men as ever went forth to battle.—
There were 45,000 in one solid mass, which
looked like a moving forest of bnyonetts—they
looked invincible, and 1 believe they are, when
fighting fur that which is dearer than life Itself
—“Liberty and Onion.” Gen. McClellan sal
upon his fiery steed, and moved not, but watched
every move us a father would watch the move
ments uf bis children. McCall's division tuuk
the lead, and the Buck-tails led them. .1 nev
er saw but one thing that ever surpassed it, and
that was the great review last fall.
For a number of days since we have been
here, I hove watched with a peculiar interest,
an old slave, as he toiled from week to week to
rebuild a fence which had been removed to cook
the rations of hungry soldiers,, until one night
last week, an army of ten thousand men, moved
into the field to eatnp a few days. In the warn
ing the faithful old darkle came out os usual to
resume bis labors, bat to his great surprise, not
a stake or rail was to be found; nor even the
traces or murks of a fence. He looked' around
with a grin uf satisfaction, but with ifo more
hopes of the future than the mule that stood by
his side, and then started to the house to ask -
old “Mussa" what next. 0, cursed of all cursed
Since we have been in this carof|, we have |
had no tents, and we have .seen sump very un
pleasant weather, but one of tho worst times
yet, was last Sunday night. The wind blew
and the rain fell, the lightning flashed, and the
thunder shook the bills, the wind blew,,until
'the smoke"of oor camp-fires drove usjdtftif our
tents, and the storm drove us to old and
sheds. This is all right,,or would tie at least,
if it was the best that could be done,for us, but
when I knowit is not, I am bound! to tell it,
for onr old tents are so near us that they might
; be brought to ns in one day, and thousands of
team's are standing idle. But I will find no
i more fault, for I have just been reading there
j treat of Napoleon from Moscow, .and , onr-fare
iin comparison to theirs, is good—so good night
and pleasant dreams to.you all.

and very boisterous' weather, with
contend, without tents.
Frum the bills adjoining,our camp,
a fine view of Alexandria, which layi
out in front of us, while Wushinijtiin, the Cap-
Jtal of our nation, is distinctly seen six miles
away ou our left—also the old Potomac is clear

with vessels of all descriptions. The wharfs ih
Alexandria, are crowded with vessel)? fur the
embaikalii/n of troops, who are leaving doily
for Fortress Monroe, and other places down in
-Dixie.”
Our boys are feeling well, buf Would feel Bet
ter if they bad their dimes. We have received
no pay from Uncle Sam since the first pf Jan
uary last, therefore We are “dead'broke.” One
can often bear the remark, ag some littfe girl
or boy presents to their view, a basket filled
with trppleS, oringes, pies, cigars, <fcc., "I would
like to bu'y, But I ant broke.'' Many of the
boys would be glad of their money, me n, that
they may send Kto their friends at Bone, who
are depending upon tbem for a support. Know
ing, as I do, the feelings of some’of our friends
in Tioga County, towards volunteers from that
place, hearing as I very many times ( do, the
question asked, “what do our soldiers do with
their money? • Wy do they not send more to
their friends at home?” I will endeavor to
give you an idea of the many ways a soldier
has of using his money, w.liich will account for
bis not sending more home. It is supposed by
our friends that we have all that the heart could
wish, (in the line of food and clothing,) to
make us comfortable, and therefore, tut want
ing any money, might easily send our whole
pay to our friends. In mpst instance, 1 grant
iliul our clothing is nmole,,hut food is a differ
ent article. Governnicn furnishes soft bread
; pork,
ns, once
! when convenient; crackers, "always
si metimesgood, but often strong ; ben
per day; coffee, twice; fresh
week ; suit, but no peppr, and sometimes rice.
In all these articles, we are stinted to just so
much, and no more. Now, cannot your mind
suggest some other things that would be pala
table? such for instance, as butter fur our
bread, milk for our coffee, potatoes, onions,
cabage, pickles, pies, cakes, sausage, &0., to
say nothing of tobacco, paper, pens and ink,
envelopes, and stamps. These items are also
furnished us, providing that we always have
the money to pay three prices for each. Now
the man that has self-denial enough to abstain
from all these luxuries, and confine [himself
strictly to Government fare, can send the more
money home,.but he must shut his eyes to self,
when nil these articles of comfort are brought
wijhin bis reach and spread out temptingly be
fore him, or now and then a dime will slip to
satisfy appetite that is always craving some
thing good. Many, very many limes do we
h eve nothing for breakfast, dinner, or supper,
but coffee- amf crackers, or befanS) pork, ana
crackers, minus the coffee. Thoseof ourlfriends
at home, who think that a soldier leads a merry
life, and in plenty, enjoys everything that is
good, bad better renounce the pleasures of the
hume-cirnle, and companionship of frier ds and
loved ones, and try the pleasures of camp life
for one year ; if at the end of that tin e they
tell me that they found all things according to
the opinions they had previously formed of
camp life, then I shall conclude that 1 am wrong
and know not the mao. Kit Oakson.

accident that occurred in the right wing/of this

the 45th will always mourn the lose of one of

place. They Captured a number of borseaand
a very large amount of private property. The
rebels fled percioitately, burning every thing
curabustal.le that came in their way. After our
troops had staid long enough to show the reb
els they were /iot to be “scared,” the pulled up

About 11 o’clock last eve., the news came to
us that the rebels were -trying to land about,
three miles above here, near the Ferry, when
company I was ordered to “fall out,” with mus
ket and cartridge box—every man, except those
on-guard. In less time than it takes- to write
this, they were in line, with fixed bayonets, and
were shoving the leaden messengers down their.

company I returned to their quarters, none the'
worse for their,midnight excursion.
Several night alarms have been fired during
the past week, yet no serious damage baa been
done'as yet, and I .don’t think there will be
right away. i
Gen. Sherman, commander of the forces in
South Carolina; has just returned from a trip
to Floridd. While there, he passed through
several large cities, where the people flocked
around him, showing the greatest possible dem
onstrations of joy at his arrival. The Stars
and Stripes were run up on nearly every plan
tation, and in every villiage and city the con
federate troops laid'down their arms and took
the oath of allegiance to. the Union, and have
returned to their homes to pursue their various
avocations , and finally Florida can be relied
on as loyal to the Union. Yes, the people of
Florida have seen the error Of their ways, and
turned in on the side of right, before it was too
late. Bolly for. Florida and Gen.'Sherman.

settle the war. I have faithfully perused the
