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 !

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. " Coloxei. Cbockeit. Prom the Charleston Hangers. 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. - - ! R.G. R.

The attack soon became j general all along the left of onr defences. Otir Regiment (9th 111.) was soon ordered over. anjd more then six thousand brave and true boys, end twenty* j seven officers of our command, hurried to tbe 1 scene of action. Our regW 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.
