STATE POLITICS.
| The Tribune of Monday has ar very well
timed and temperate article on a union of all
parties in the State of New York who are 3e
terminedTb'Stand’'Ey’the Government to the
Utmost in the momentous struggle forced upon
ua by the slave holding traitops of the South.
There are indications that a similar movement
will ha made in this State, and that a Union
party-may bo formed, composed of the People’s
Party, the Republicans and the Union Demo
crats, upoij~a -basis satisfactory to all.
. We can'see very plainly how such a union
could'be formed without the sacrifice of any
principles,on the part of either party. No one,
can doubt that,the recent effort of Vallandig
ham and other Northern sympathizers with the
rebels to galvanize into life the late Breckin
ridge parly, had its mainspring in a knot of
democratic politicians in our own State; and it.
is pretty certain that the chief of this knot
was the Old Public Functionary himself who,
not content with seeing the Republic >evcred
during his Presidency, now seeks to gi» • -id
and comfort to its enemies by organizin,
rump of them in the North. To squelch . . .
nn organization as this, and In show '
mense preponderance of the Union K- )
the old Keystone State, we should bo wo.. „
to unite with any or all parlies friendly tn the
administration, and sincere in their integrity
to the Uniop. We should of course prefer the
Republican name for such an organiz Uion, but
even names ire not essential. We are anxious,
and we believe every patriotic citizen in the
nation is anxious that until this war is prose
cuted to'a glorious conclusion, party names and
party differences should bo foigotten among
those who are in earnest in wishing to see' the
rebellion crushed out. We do not believe in
abandoning party organizations where such
exist, nor is such a step necessary. The sup
porters of the Government’ are of one mind so
far as the gront object of the war is concerned,
and no matter what party they may belong to,
they cannot quarrel about minor differences.—
Let them unite on the State ticket at the next
election and drive into everlasting obscurity the
dirty traitors who are seeking now to revive it
a party which would make peace with the rebel
slavcocracy upon their own terms at the very
first opportunity. When the Union shall have;
have been restored; and when the traitors now
in arms shall-have been lashed into obedience
to the just behests of the Constitution, then it
will be time enough to have strict party lines
and party politics. Meantime let-us pull alto
gether for the cause of the Union, the Const!-,
tulion, and the Enforcement of the laws.
ThS WAS NEWS,
TVigfa’i is leported to have sail one day that
he had heard of no southern defeat since din
ner, but that he expected to hoar of one before
slipper. Not quite so soon as he expected, but
a ilay or two afterwards, be must have heard
of the surrender,of Island No. 10 and of the
battle at Pittsburg With the same
velocity news of successes comes tn u«. We
have scarcely read General Pope’s official re
port when the telegraph biinga llie intelligence
of the fall of Fort Pulaski. This fort, which
commands the city of Savannah, was uncondi
tionally surrendered by the rebels at two o’clock
in the afternoon of Friday last, after sustain
ing a fire from our batteries which perhaps no
fm tification in the woild could withstand. Sev
en large breaches were made in the south wall
by the Union battery, of eight Parrott guns, at
King’s,Landing. All the barbette guns at that
side were dismounted, and also three of the
casemate guns, leaving hut one gun bearing on
that point. Three halls entered the magazine,
and a clean breach was made in it. The balls
from our guns were propelled with such force
that they went clear through the walls at ncar-
I3’every fire. Colonel Olmstead, vvho wal in
command of the fort, telegraphed the previous
evening that no human being could stand upon
the ’ramparts for even a single moment, and
that over one thousand largo shells, had explo
ded within tho fort. Lieut. Smith of Co. I,
45tli llegt. P. V. writes to his friends in this
place that he witnessed it at tho distance of
live nnWh A day before the surrender signals
of distress were sent to_Savannah, That pal
pitating city w-a-s warned of its coming fate,
and we can imagine that its people are now in
nnything but a pleasant frame of mind.
Pulaski is about eighteen miles from Savan
faah pthe loss of it exposes that city to the in
roads of our gunboats; and whatever its defen
ces, it is quite impossible that they should long
■resist an attacking force by land and river.—
Perhaps there is but one more important city
in the South, which is New- Orleans. It com
mands an extensive system of railroads, no le.-s
than thirteen in number, which ramify in nil
directions' to the north, south and west. As a
centre of the cotton commerce of the Gulf stales
it is no less important, A half million bales
are annually shipped from that port. The riv
er Savannah, it should be remembered also, is
navigable to our smaller gunboats as high up
as Augusta, seme two hundred miles into the
interior. From Savannah there is an easy ap
proach to Charleston, to which attention is soon
likely to be paid by General Hunter's com
mand.
General Shield’s official report of the late
victory near Winchester has just
The irresilible charge which drove tho enemy
from tho field was made by the Pennsylvania
Eighty-fourth, Tyler’s brigade, Ohio Fifth, In
diana Fourteenth, seven companies of the Ohio
Siiity-sevMUh, and threecompani.es of the Ohio

THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.,
among them"ire have to deplore the loss nf jhe
brave Colonel Murray, off the Eighty-fourth
Pennsylvania "Volunteers, who fell at the head
of his regiment, while gallantiyjeading it in
the face of the enemy. The wounded are 441,
many orthSmTstightly, nn’d are
twenty-four.. The enemy’s. Joss is more diffi
cult to ascertain than our own. 270 were found
dead on the battlefield.---Forty were buried by
the.(fdjaaentvillage, aod;by acilculation mode
by the number of graves found on both sides
of the valley road between hero and Strashurg,
the loss in killed must have been about 500,
and wounded 1,000. The enemy admit a loss
of between 1,000 and 1,500 killed and wound
ed. Our force in infantry, cavalry, and artil
lery did not exceed 7,000. That of the enemy
must have exceeded 11,000. "We have taken
three hundred prisoners, two guns, font cais
sons, and a thousand stand of small arms. The
report concludes with an acknowledgment of
the services rendered by Colonels Kimball, Ty
ler, Sullivan, Carrot. and Daum, ■ and with
thanks to the entire division for its effective
valor. ~... - '
From the Harold of Tuesday,"wo learn that
Jefferson Davis is reported to be with the Rebel
forces near Yorktown : and Gen. McClellan
telegraphed to the War Deportment yesterday
that about one half hour after midnight the en
emy attacked Smith’s position, and attempted
to carry his guns. Smith repulsed them hand
somely, and took some prisoners. The firing
was very heavy. In a second dispatch, Gen.
MiClcilan ears that his position was intrenched
last night, so that he baa been able to prevent
the enemy from working, and kept his guns
silent. Yorktown was shelled by the gunboats
ana some of the barscs without effect. Tliero
has been a good deal of firing from the York
town land batteries.
The latest dispatch from Gen. McClellan sup
plies a statement regarding the sortie of
Wednesday last, in which the 3J Vermont Reg
iment was engaged. Thirty-two are reported
killed, and nine'y wounded. The conduct of
the Vermont troops is spoken of in the highest
terms of praise. By the same dispatch, we
learn that about one o’clock yesterday morning
the Rebels in force attempted to cross the dam
in front of our works, hut were driven back hy
the fire of an infantry three. At daylight both
parties opened tfith artillery, which continued
at intervals till night.
The special correspondent of the Tribune,
writing from Island No. 10, gives an account
of Fort Pillow, which is now assailed by the
forces of Commirdore Fume from the river, and
Gen. Pope from the Arkansas shore. He says
that Fort Pillow, which at one time had 110
pieces, has but but 20, many of which are very
large, among them a 10 inch colurabiad. Oo
tire 17th ult. there were not more than 1,500
Rebel soldiers there—not enough to defend the
place, with its extensive fortifications ; and
deserters report that the Rebels would not make
much resistance there if attacked by our gun
and mortar boats ; and that, after the reduction
of Island No. 10, the Union forces could pro
ceed to Memphis, which was but poorly forti
fied, nnd-nike possession of the city with little
difficulty. A force of 5,000 Union troops, in
their opinion, could capture Pillow in a brief
while.
FROM THE BUCK-TAILS.
Manassas, Va., April 14. 1862
Friend Agitator : L ist Wednesday morning
amid a dreadful storm of snow ami sleet we
packed our knapsacks shouldered our guns and
started fur the cars on the Mana«sas Kail Road.
thrye miles in the mud bunt deep,
and the cold wind healing the frozen rain into
our faces, and wetting our clothe? to freeze du
ring the day. AVeairived at the cars about
noun—stood in the storm and mud two hours,
then piled into or on them five op seven deep,
sat there two hours longer, then the old engine
gave a few’ snorts and began to move off. It
was now just 4 o’clock. It had rained, snowed,
and howled for 05 hours, and had now' thick
ened up and set in for a settled storm.. Our
regiment was lucky in getting good covered
cars, while others were obliged to ride in open
ones: we were all night on the mad and near
ly all that-lime moving ahead or hacking up to
take a new start. The mad from Alexandria
to Manassas is the poorest and is the steepest
grade of any I ever saw. Our train was short
and ihe„engine could pull just about as much
as an old Dutch cait horse. I will m t tell you
that those w ho roefe on open cars had hard fane,
but I will tell you what they did have and you
niu-t he your own judge. From 8 o’clock A.
M., till 2 o’clock nt night they wore exposed to
the wind and stoim without any fire, and
packed like sheep for maiket. 1 saw them At
dusk, and they were tired and piled in heaps
upon their guns and kn-ip-mcks with the snow'
upon them two or three inches* deep, many of
them could scarcely stand when they left the
cars Co spend the rest of (he nighi in the rebel
tents on the banks of the celebrated Bull Run.
It is useless to say that there was some tall
swearing-at those high in command fur moving
an army in such a storm to lie idle in good
weather, hut i f course (hey had good reasons
for doing so. for 1 have no reason to (hmk that
they wish to expose our lives and health with
out an object. This was the hardest storm I
ever saw ui the S unli, and many made the ex
if ibis is the sunny South give me
pres Mon,
North,”
Daylight, Thursday rooming, found us with- i
in litres' mile* of the lung looked for jVl.innss.ix, i
waiting for the engine to rest ami surrounded I
hy rebel camps and fortifications. Here for
the first time 1 began to Jjo disapp tinted in this
place, the land was not located as 1 expected,
and theirjents were far better than our own;
they were built of logs ami could accommodate
front ten to twenty. They had large and good
fire places in all built of splendid stones quar
ried froth the hill. There are two good reasons
fur this, the first is, the most' of them come
from the gulf states (the tomb-stones tell this,
for the country is one vast cemetery) and could
not endure the privations and hardships of, a
soldiers life without good fair, and the second
is, the dissatisfaction which prevailed through
out the wlt.de army/was such that those high_
in command were obliged to let them work for ;
themselves as mnuli as possible in order to
keep them in sul jection. Tne last foot { have
.from good authority. We arrived ftt Munauus
( about 10 o'clock A. M/ What a ei 2 ht metoorj l|ncnln 8 ' C J* an

When a man tells roe that they ,djd not leave
here on double quick, 1 "! tell hrro to save his
breath to pis flitis© who don't know better, fc*r
divery surrounding object proves the assertion
fiilse. Near the depot is a metalic coffin and a
mondment which bore Uvis inscription. 1 This
marble marks the spot where fell George T.
Stavai of the Kaine Light Guards, Bth R^gt.
Georgia,Volunteers in the battle of July 21st,
1861. Born at Augusta, Georgia. April 7tb,
1335. His,life he devoted to his God and sac
rificed it in his country's cause/ 1 'This you
will see at a glance is not correct, for the mar
ble never marked the spot where -he fell nor
never will; nor did he sacrifice his life in his
country's cause, hut he gave it to satisfy the
ambition of tyrants and traitors, and to destroy
the government under whose fostering care he
wus horn, had lived and rebelled. Now I have
two points, therefore according to the argument
of a well known “Prof/’ in old Tioga, he did
not devote his life to his God. Besides I have
another proof, if he had he never- would have
joined the Southern army to insult our flag and
take the lives of our people. Never was I
more disappointed in any place than this. It
is not the .Gibraltar of America but a grand
humbug. - I do not believe that there ever was
a day since the battle of Bull Rut* when our
armv, led hy officers whose brain did not whirl
with intoxication, could nut have taken it. Its
geographical position surpassed any I ever saw,
but -the works of art. show no marks of genius
or mili ary skill. I have seen no forts like
those bude by M> Ch-llan to defend the Capital,
and no rifle pits or intrenchmont* that I could
not jump. It seems to me that they were only
built to pass away time or to keep disorderly
soldiers at,work, I have always had a yvrong
idea of Manassas, for I .supposed that it was
located between two-hills, which could be for
tified on every side, but it is not so., for it is on
the highest point of land between the Potomac’
and the Blue Ridge,—it is one vast table land
which slopes in every direction. It can'be
made impregnable, but is not nor never was.
Omj ca-n stand on a fort or a pile of rails and
dirt intended for one, and see with a good
glass from 20 to 40 miles in'every direction.
It has imee no doubt, been beautiful, but to-duy,
for miles and miles it is one vast plantation,
not tilled by the weary toiling slave, but doited
with tents and tomb stones, hut notwithstand
ing the feelings which one -has in contempla
ting ih«, surrounding scenes; it is grand to see
the armies moving in distant field*, the long
train of baggage wagon* .crawlingslowly along,
and the hundred peaks of the Blue Ridge,
rearing theirsnow capt heads highabme every
other object. I have been informed tlnu Gen
terville is a stronger fortified place than this,
and was held by at least 75,000 men. I think
from all I can see and learn that they -could
have concentrated at this’place or Centerville
in one day 150,000, when they were -in their
best condition, and I have al*o been informed
that their main body did' not leave here until
the night before we started. Then all was c««n*
fusion, and the thought of nothing but saving
their own lives and destroying the rest. It is
hard to imagine pmdi a sight, a terror stricken
jirinv of 75 or 100 000 soldiers burning build
inami dashing to piocna e\erv tiling which
»hev chance to meet. It is a sight that the
five Northern States I trust will nt*\er behold.
Yesterday In company with Lieut. Kinsey and
otiien-, I visited the house where Beauregard
made his head quarters fur sis months. It is
a large and costly brick building which stands
one mile from the Rail Road, in the center of
a beautiful plantation of 2460 acres, once owned
by a Southern nabob by the name ut Wise, but
now confiscated and protected by Uncle Sam.
I learned from an old negro 70 years old who
was not worth taking away, that when old
ma*sa left, \\ hou uur army made the advance
th 11 hedrme with him. like a flock of sheep
between 75 and 100 slaves to some more secure
sp d, ho also left 2000 sheep which have since
m ide tnanv a good meal for the Yankees. They
.arc now all go(ne but GO, and their ranks are
fast being thinned lather mysteriously. As 1
stood on the piazza of that splendid mansion
anrd looked out upon the ruins before me, &c.,
my mind went hack one year ago to the lime ,
when the owner first lifted his rebellions hand
ami voice against his country. I could almost
heir the \oice of Old Ahe of the West' when ;
he said : “0 ! thou rebel, this year thy 1 slaves
and sheep shall be taken from thee;”
The. Fermentation Begun,
The benevolent and judicious proposition of
the President for the removal of slavery from -
the border state*, by joint actum of their peo
ple, and of Congress, is beginning to have its
effect. We find in the Baltimore American one
of the ablest'and most influential journals in
Maryland, which has always been noted for its
conservatism and moderation, an elaborate ar-'
gbment in defence of his'pnitcyi The occasion i
of it is a private letter from “a gentlerndn at (
Washington, high in -the crntfidg’irce of the guv-j
eminent”—whom we suppose to bo Mr. Reverdy .

AH practicable men tire now sensible that sla
very so effects the people, whether it ought to
do so or not, ns to make it a terrible institution
