THE AGITATOR.
HUGH YOUNG, EDITOR & PROPRIETOR.
WELLSBOROCGH, PA.,
Wednesday morning, apr. so. i 862.
flSf'Tbe precise words of president Lincoln
to the Committee of the Preedmen’s Association,
in their interview of April 12th, were these:
•'I am entirely satisfied that no slave who be
comes for tfie- time free within the American
lima will over be roinslaved. Rather than have
it so, T yould give up and abdicate.” 1
I®* An eminent American, formerly a Dem
ocrat, who has for sometime past resided in Eu
rope, writes a letter to the Tribune, in which
he says: 5
' “ Wo are crazy if we preserve the status of
slavery. I would as soon think of preserving
a mad dog that bad bitten and killed my chil
dren.” '
jSf* The Lewisbnrg Chronicle says that in
1829, the Democrats in the Pennsylvania Legis
lature voted in favor of joint resolutions for the
Abolition 6f. Slavery in the District of .Colum
bia. In 1862, the same hind of resolutions
were before the same body, and the united votp
of the Democracy was cast against them I In
1829, Democrats looked upon Slavery ns an evil.
In 1862, they bow down and worship at'the
heathen shrine as unitedly ae their fathers op
posed it. Degenerate sons of noble sires !
J®* Senat'ors whose Teems Expire. —The
tegms-of the following State Senators expire
with the present session: George Connell and
George K. Smith, of Philadelphia; W. W.

■ S6f* The notorious -Vnllnndigbam of Ohio,
since the slaveholders’’ rebellion com
menced has been playing the role of the sneak
ing ahd cnwardly traitor. lie has lately added
to the public manifestation of this character
that of the foul mouthed blackguard. In the
House the other day he made a scurrilous at
tack on the veteran Senator Wade, Charmnn of
the Committee on the Conduct of the War for
words spokin in debate. A resolution of cen
sure has been introduced, but instead of cen
sure; the creature needs expulsion. Let him be
expelled from a seat in the House which he

NATAL WAHPAHE.
The naval fight at Hampton Koads between
tho Monitor arid the Mcrrimao seems to have
created on intense excitement among the marl-
J
time powers of Europe. England has been
made aware of the fact that she is no longer
“ mistress of tb» seas," and that her “ wooden
walla” are not strong enough fc resist the pow
erful blows of an American made iron-clad
gun boat, throwing wrought iron shot from a
hundred pounder cannon. Ever since the great
naval battle spoken of, which'showed the supe
riority of American ehterprize and mechanism,
ovei l the slow red-fapeism of the European
Governments, both houses of Parliament have
spent most of their time in discussing the wants
of the the superiority of iron
over wood for navat'defcjjses, and the insecurity
0' forts against attacks of iron clad war ships.
Tho continental press seems to have arriyed\at
the conclusion that all the maritime nations of
the world are now upon an equality so . far as
tho possession of a navy is concerned, and that
'a nation must assert her superiority over others
by her ability to produce the most and best
iron clad ships, armed with the largest and
best guns in the shortest space of time. In
this view of the case France is the superior of
Great Britain as she has more and larger iron
clad ships. But England will not long remain
behind any nation in this regard ; for she has
within herself all tho natural and mechanical
resources wherewith to construct a great iron
navy. Yeats, however, must of necessity elapse
before she can become again entitled to, if in
deed she can ever claim her ancient name of
mistress of the seas.
At this juncture, it becomes ns as citizens to
call upon ear Senators and Representatives who
are voting millions of dollars, to see Chat the
money is nnt thrown away upon useless “sev
enty fours” other wood built ship* for
purposes of defence. This is the age of iron,
asd.nothing bqtjfn iron navy will satisfy it
Our attention-bo* lately been called to a speech
delivered by Gen. Walbridge of New Terk, in
August, 1856. It was a review of the propo
sitions of the Congress of Paris which followed
the peace in Europe of the year before. The
gist of his argument was that under the sanc
tion of Jaw with ample guards and restrictions,
there should be organized a Militia Navy, an
arm of defence corresponding to that employed
by the government in the. land service, under
our enrolled militia system, by which shipown
ers should receive encouragement and aid by
law, in construction of their vessels, so as to
make tbeqs capable of bearing guns, if required,
in the service of-the country. That the Caj.
tains and subordinate officers be commissioned
in the name of tho general government, upon
some equitable plan that will give them rank
and emolument, in proportion to ‘the demands
upon tlieir time and service in the new capacity
of representing,the naval power of the Union.
That the humblest youth who enters os a cabin
boy or in the lowest capacity as a seaman, should
bis educated and trained in his honorable,
though adventurous and dangerous profession.
w ° ■"* hs"> fe* «be excellent data
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
whence Gen., Walbridge draws these conclu
sions, both is enough that* the conclusions are
useful to ns now. With iron clod ships'like
j the Monitor for the defence of our harbors, and
■a properly organised-naval militia, in times of
war, the United States may well defy the
world.
THE WAS HEWS.
The moat news that we publish this morning
1* that which cornea through ft Petersburg and
Richmond paper, announcing the capture of
New-Orlenns by the National forces. The Pe
tersburg Ejqpressat Saturday professes to have
a dispatch from Mobile, announcing that dnr
fleet passed Fort Jackson on Thursday, and
that when the news thereof reached New-Or
leans the excitement was boundless. Martial
law was proclaimed,, and all the cbtion and
steamboats, except those required fur transpor
tation, were burned. Corroborating this is a
-dispatch from Gen. McDowell, who gives the
substance of’what had appeared in the Rich
mond Examiner on Saturday, to the effect that
New-Orleans had been taken, and that there
was a great destruction of cotton and steam
boats. As this intelligence is forwarded through
the Wbr Office, it may be presumed that there
it is regarded as trustworthy. A special dis
patch from Cairo to the Chicago Times says
that Beauregard has withdrawn a considerable
portion of his force from Corinth for the de
fense of Memphis. Gen. McClellan reports a
brilliant dash against one of the Rebel works
near Yorktown on Saturday morning by a com
pany of si Massachusetts regiment. The cap
ture of the work was effected without any ise
rious loss on our side. Gen. Banks telegraphs
from his camp near Sparta that deserters and
refugees corroborate previous reports, that
Jackson, after flying from our advancing col
umn on Friday last, pushed forward to a point
ene mile north of Harrisonburg, where a turn
pike branches to the left, passing Magaughey
town on the south fork of the Shenandoah and
the Blue Ridge, and running thence to Gordf
onsville. At an early hour on Saturday morn
ing, Jackson, with his whole force and train,
took the Gordonsville pike, and at last accounts
had reached Magaugheystown. From before
Yorktown wc had a report that one of our
boats on Thursday commenced the shelling of
Yorktown. She moved up to the mouth of
Wormley’s Creek during the morning, opening
a well-directed fire on their work, which was
promptly answered by the Rebels. The boat
then fell back a distance of three miles from
Yorktown, when she again opened fire, the
shells exploding each time within the enemy’s
works, but obtained no response.
rEOM THE BUCK-TAILS,
Camp near Catlett Station, Va., |
April 23, 1862. j
Friend Agitator. —McCall’s division is now
stationed on the Orange and Alexandria Rail
Road. We left Manassas the Cth—travelled
five miles and encamped for the night in a) pleas
ant spot on the banks of Cedar Run, Hero we
expected to stop for a few days, and to
work and made ourselves good tents,*but it was
work lost, for we were ordered to march at 7
o’clock the next morning. ' I
The country from Manassas to this place, is
far the beat of any I have yet seen. The face
of the country is grand, but there is one thing
lacking, and that is good water. Yes, and
there is another element lacking, and that is a
free und civilized race to inhabit it.
The mail leaves in an hour, for the first time
in a number of days, so I will only tell you a
few things that have transpired since my last.
I visited Che battle field of Bull Run, and found
it to be a fine place fur two contending armies
to meet and fight, and for one to run away.—
The gnmnd is rolling, but not what would in
the north be called hilly. It is all a hoax that
the rebels had the advantage in. the ground.—
Our men drove them for about a' mile, and held
the highest point of ground on the field when
the black horse cavalry' made the charge, then
the stampede commenced. The ground where
that last great struggle was made, is now cov
ered witlrgravca and white with bones. Many
of the graves have been opened. The rebels
buried their own dead, and the hones of onr
men have since been interred by our soldiers.
No marble marks their resting place, but they
live in the hearts of their countrymen. No
mother or sister ever dropped a farewell tear on
their new miide graves, but the great nation
was vailed in mourning when they fell.
Bull Run isn stream atxfut the size of Crook
ed Creek.
I butt the ruins of the Stone Bridge that the
rebels blew up the night before we started from
Camp Pierpont.
Last Monday was a day .long to be remem
bered by this division. It was a stormy, cold
day, and onr camp was on very low, moddy
ground. Onr company went oat' on pioket at
six in the morning, and I had occasion to trav
el through the camp before the drum had star
| ted the soldier from his wet hunk. It was a
hard sight. More than one-half of the men
were actually lying in the water, some one,
some two, and some six iuehes deep. Many
had put rails in their tents, and were lying on
them. In the afternoon we moved onr camp
about one mile to get out of the mud. Our
present camp ground is good, but wo had a
■west time moving, for the rain was tumbling
down in torrents the whole day. Nip and l
got our tent in good condition shortly after
dark, we then built a good fire, made a cup o{
tea, ate is few hard crackers, then went to bed
and slept like pigs in the clover. It is aston
ishing-to see bow proud one will he of a little
hut just large enough to keep the wind and
rain off.
One day lust week; I fook & tramp around the
country in • ompnny with my friend, Serjeant
Van Or«d«le-*-to luok upon the rains , of what
once'was, but is no more. After travelling n
few hours, we came to a fine farm house, where
the little log huts were scattered around, which
showed that the owner was a master of other
men not his own color. Curiosity, together
with a strong appetite for. something good to
eat, led us to call in. 1 walked up to the man
who was then standing oh the stoop and asked
him if hetjouldget me and my friend some
dinner? ‘•Well,” ho said, '-I reckon wo can,”
and walked into the honse. He soon returned
—.told us to take a sear, for it would soon be
ready. We soon felt into conversation, and
foumi lie was a doctor, and hod nursed tbe reb
els’ wounded in the battle of Bull Run, In
fact be was a rank rebel, bnt dare not own it.
Dinner was. soon ready, and we walked in and
sat down to a table, more a show than anything
else, for all that it contained, besides the dish
-esj-wns hoe cake, cold meat, and-cold water,,
which was all that the house could afford. We
very.soon got into conversation with the young
mistress of the house (who, by the way, was
more talk than sense) about the country, the
[ war, and of course-ftbout the slaves, for their
whole'life, seems bound up in them. In the
course of our conversation, she made a few re
marks which I deem worthy of y our readers’
notice, for it is the’ exponent of this whole in
stitution, especially in Virginia. Speaking, of
the country, she said: “The face of the land •
hut in fact it is poor, and will only
produce enough to keep the stock, which is the
only thing profitable in this state, and that at
the present time, was of no value to any one."
We being rather green and inquisitive Yankees,
of course must know wlifit kind of stock was
the most profitable, and asked if it was horses,
sheep, or cattle? “Oh, nb,” she said, twisting
her pretty little mouth in a dozen .shapes, “it is
neither of those, I have reference to the young
slaves.” We could not help laughing at the
peculiar stress laid on the “stock,’’ when used
by a sensitive and modest,southern lady, and
especially when applied to .human beings.—
What a modkery of modesty when viewed
through northern oivilizrfUon!
N. V. Kinsy, of com pah y A, has just received
his discharge, on account of disability. Others
have applied, orid will soon have theirs.
Droves of contrabands come into our lines
every day, of all ages, sizes, and of every color,
from midnight, down to -gingerbread.

Otter Island, April 18, 1862.
Frisco Agitator.— While perusing year fa
miliar columns, that b.o eloquently speak of our.
brothers in arms, I thought it was my duty
(which 1 hare long neglected) to let our friends
know that we ton are somewhere among the
living, i And. although, situated as we are, on
lonely Otter Island, surrounded hy the ocean’s
surges,! where nothing of much importance
transpires, and where it is somewhat difficult
for the pep to find employment, yet I will en
deavor to‘write you a few lines that may inter
est your readers.
We have been encamped on Otter Island du
ring last four months, and have been, ns
we may say, inactive, having done but little in
comparison with others in different parts of the
country, yet we have occupied quite an impor
tant position, commanding St. Helena Sound,
the Morgan, Coosaw, Asbapoo, and South Edis
to rivers, the two latter leading to the Rail
Road connecting the cities of Savannah and
Charleston ; but we long to hear the command
to prepare for a journey to some place where
we cap take a-roore active part in crushing this
unholy rebellion from our land, so that it will
have hat a faint glimmering even upon the an
nals of history. It,is quite probable that the
time is at hand when our wishes shall bo grant,
ed us, for eyery mail is expected to bear the
glad tiding*, “take op your duds and toddle.”
While we have been encamped here, we have
witnessed several little incidents, one of which
I will here relate, that illustrates in bright col
ors thp Southern Chivalry.
Captain Whitney, with 42 men, went to
Warren Island, distant from here, about fifteen
miles/to forage. They arrived at the place of
destination about 11 o'clock P. M., where they
hivtiusoed over night. At sunrise.-next morn
ing, a few of the m«n went over the Island to
get some beef, but they had not been out long
before the rolling of drums broke the silence,
and presently the cracking of musketry was
heard, but paying no attention to these, they
got the object of their search, and returned to
the rest of the company. They nil arrived safe
and sound in due season into camp that night.
In h few days afterwards, an intelligent look
ing contraband came into camp, and who has
sinc.oi proved to be a person that can bo relied
nponl He says that our men were within a
mile and a, half of a place called tFort Chap
man, occupied by about 150 men, and that some'
of them were within eight rods of the rebel
pickets, who were stationed on the bank of a
stream called Cig Creek. He thus describes
their actions when they discovered our men.
As soon as the pickets (who uyro cavalry)
saw our men, they mounted their horses, and 1
with their hats in their hands, made for the
Fort as fast as their steeds could carry them,
and as they arrived there, their brave comrades
with their mouths wide open, and with tremb
ling 1 voices, inquired, “What is the matter?”
“Oh;”.'Wild they, “the Yankees! they come!
ther come 1! ” In a short tl mo a few men were
sentjto. see if the enemy was advancing, when
they saw the wild grass burning which our
men pot Crete in order to drive out the cattle ;
at this they started back with the intelligence
that thh enemy were advancing in such great
numbers, that they had to burn the wild grass,;
in order to get along. Then the command was
given to retreat, and shortly they were march
ing lo the Charleston and Savannah Hail Road/
. (distant about ten miles from the Fort,) ooca;
lionally casting back art anxious ilook, expect-,
ing at every moment to see their fortification
swarmed by locust legions of Yankees. They
left the cannons and ammunition, and also their
provisions, to the mercy of the negroes, who
made good use of the occasion. They'did not
return to the Fort, until sometime daring the
night. Is such the chivalry that Beauregard
and Davis are so proud of, and in wbieh they
trust for the safety of the Southern Confedera
cy?', |
On tbs 9th and 10th of this month, we heard
very hlavy canonading in the direction of Fort
Pulaski, and. on the 11th, the news - reached
camp that it bad -fallen into our Hands, with
about 380 prisoners, many of whioh were from
the states of New-York and Rhode island, and
who had-not volunteered in the service of the
Southern Confederacy, but were forced 4o take
op arras against a cause which, they deemed
right and just. We lust but one min who was
eat into three parts by a shell.'
, Success seems to crown our efforts . Victory
acoompanies-our troops wherever, they go.

though badly hurt, -
On Sunday morning last, (April 61b.) the
enemy began a furious attack oh; tee center of
our lines, which point was guarded by raw
troops. The attack soon became j general all
along the left of onr defences. Otir Regiment
(9th 111.) was soon ordered over. anjd more then

want of proper treatment has-still kept my
wound painful and irritating in the extreme.
I omitted .to mention in my other letter that
my cap senbp saved my life, as the missile
passed through that he ’ore entering tny head,
which sufficiently broki its force so as to pre
vent its mitering the sk ill.
Oor regiment, out of 575 enlisted men, and
25 officer* engaged, lost 61 killed, 287 wounded,
and 12 taken prisoners. Out of 25 officers, 20
were either kilted or wounded. Our' entire
lons in not yet ascertained, but is probably not
les* thnnilOOO killed, ajid 8000 wounded, while
that of tlie enemy is iprobably 1500 to 2000
killed, arid 5000 wounded. In the matter of
the rebels got the belter of us, in
king, probably cjf our raw troops, who
were stationed near the outer lines. The posi
tion of the two forces is not changed by the
action, ns their and our pickets ore constantly
skirmishing. Buel, wuth his command, is now
here, nndl an ntlaek on tlie enemy will soon he
made, tlw result of wljich I do nnt doubt. —
One this|g was very observable on Sunday; the
first day,of.the fight; jThe rebel soldiers were
mostly drunk, o> perfectly maddened with
.liquor. On Monday, the canteens being empty,
and relaxation taking) place, they could not
fight, but were slaughtered by the hundreds,
with little loss to our wide. The faces of the
rebel deiid were perfectly black, owing to the
frequenjfappeals to tbewhiskey canteen. Mis
scrablo wretches, hurried into eternity in n
beastly Iftnte, under thje mistaken nmion that
they we|e fighting for liberty. In one place,
some C (jr 8 rebels hat; seated, themselves be
hind a Urge tree for v game of euchre, four
played, While the others stood hy looking on, i
when aijomb shell from the gun boat exploded
noar-hy|and killed the n all. Ope of them fell
hack ciiijtching his cards and raising them in
his left band, died so, holding firmly to the col
ored bi 4 °f pasteboard, a miserable mockery
on tbo seuseicss vanities of life.
