'• This generation is witnessing a returu of the
bined against ua; the sympathies of the Mam
mon of Commerce are 'given to our eoeinies;
and, os then, bad faith and 'disloyalty''iralk al
most nnshamed in our midst. 'There are many
who desire' nothing but disaster to our, armies
while led by men. whoeannot he made the driv
eling tools of conspirators against the Govern
ment! ■ These men, and we have them in every
township of this county, even, cannot conceal
tbeirjack of patriotism. Their inmost thoughts
and feelings are as faithfully reflected in their
countenances ns the imago of any tongible ob
ject upon the polished surface of a mirror.- ~
We have been led to these reflections by the
varied facia! revelations following the receipt
of news of supposed disaster to our army on
the Rappahannock. We are much habituated
to study of the human face ; and while nothing
can be more foreign to our purpose than'the
misrepresentation of any class of men, we con
sider it right and necessary to apply acbihmon
rule to all classes, and leave judgiUeni to the
impartial public. We have to say, then, that
the receipt of that news produced two marked
expressions of countenance among oar people.
We noticed a very. large class whose faces be
trayed a sorrow of the heart, and whose lips,
if they testified, at all, bore testimony of deep
regret that the suppression qf rebellion should
be some months longer delayed. With these
jnen we had full sympathy; for while we'firm
ly believe that permanent peace will be award
ed this nation by Justice, and not by Mercy,
we are alive to the fact .that all do not look at
this struggle from the same point of view.
There was another class, and, thank God,-re
comparatively small one, who received the ti
dings with-brightening eyes, and faces radiant
with a secret joy, almost too great for suppres
sion in' any form; and some of these were
mute ; and some ebook, their heads and said—
“ You have not beard the worst of this yet ?”
—which is a genteel way of discouraging the
people in advance of any given reoson for dis
couragement. And, finally, these facial phe
nomena were remarked by nearly’ everybody
in the first-named class, so thin was the attempt-
ed disguise.
Now; which of these classes, judge yon, rep
resents the sterling patriots of tho country?
. Here is a fact which may have some slight
, beating upon the question ; It was in the
Spring of 1861—in fact, in the afternoon of the
19th of April—when the telegraph.announced
the mobbing of Massachusetts troops on their
transit through Baltimore, the destruction of
railroad bridges, and the conseqncnt isolation
of Washington from loyal support by ordinary
and rapid inodes: We satin the library of
the War Department, listening, iu the.pauses
of labor, to the speculations and comments of
half-a-dozcn men, army officers and bureau
clerks. There was a wide disagreement in seq
timentnnd opinion, four, if memory serves,
sisting, with vehement insolence that Washing
ton was as good ns taken, and the Government
overthrown ; and that the next despatch from
Baltimore would bring bloodier tidings still.
The minority combatted them with more hope
ful predictions. In a few hours the Sixth Mass
achusetts, fresh and scarred from the assault of
the mob, charged at a double-quick in solid
column down Pennsylvania Avenue, to tho sig
nificant music of their martini tread ; and the
sympathizers with treason slunk away into si
lence and obscurity, raining curses upon Mass
achusetts as they went; dud none of them
carried a more marked badge of defeat on their
faces than the fqur evil prophets beforemen
tinned. Those prophets of evil soon after cast
their lets with open and armed rebellion.
And the faces of .these, men were illumined
always in degree as the prospects of the coun
try seemed dark, and vre mentally marked them
as false traitors before they opened their lips.
Ton may say that these were a nobler breed. •
So they were. •
BUT MUSCLE, FACIAL MUSCLE, WILL
TELL!
Now, every man will draw bis’own inferen
ces ; we drew (jura. And we never hear a man
belittling every effort of the ' Government, or
prophesying evil continually ; orsntiling'wben
outspeaking patriots grieve over disasters that
must sometimes come, —wo never observe any
of these actions that wedo not instinctively
rank them with those evil prophets of whom
mention is made- above. Neither is, it too
sweeping. In these-times, the man wbo.does
not, by speech and hearing, carry himself high
above the level of doubt and suspicion, deserves
to wear the traitor’s name to hit death-day,
and to have bis harial-piacc forgotten by ”.1118

It will appear in the end that wholesome re
straint is always better than toleration, in times
of public peril. This blatant traitor, not yet
repudiated by the so-called democratic leaders,
should have been snubbed with a rafting rope
two years ago. Toleration and contempt only
encourage such villains in evil practices. He
is devoid of all that’distiugoishesman from the

burns with hell-firs; and when he keeps silence

the MOST IMPORTANT NAVAL VIC
TOR! OP, THE. WAR.
Gen. Grant is making-doan work in Missis
sippi. and Will soon bring_the knotty question
•'of. Vicksburg to a solution. On' the 30th nit.,
ho moved upon Fort Qibsop, a town on Bsyon
Pierre, 23 miles’from its mouth, where at 2
i. s, on the Ist, he met the enemy, 11,000
stroDg, ana mui-tm «ai»K.
lug him. with the loss of many killed and
about SOO prisoners, beside the wounded; The
enemy retreated toward Vicksburg, destroying
the bridges over tho two forks, of the’ Bayou
pierre. These were rebuilt, and tho pursuit
continued. Beside the heavy artillery, four
field-pieces wero captured, and some stores, and
the enemy were forced to destroy much more.
The Memphis Bulletin of Saturday says that
Gen. Grant has sent 1,900 prisoners to Milli
ken’s Bend. A portion of hisribree, when last
heard from, was within 20 miles of Jackson.
There was a report that an important bridge
over Big Black River had been destroyed, thus
cutting off the means of retreat from Vicksburg.
Forney’s Press Washington borrespondent
says; “It is understood that Gen. Buford, with
his light brigade, has penetrated to the Alle
ghany Ridge in Western Virginia, and that be
is now returning, having destroyed the Rich
mond and Tennessee Railroad in several places,
captured many prisoners, obtained important
information, and burned large quantities of
stores intended for the Rebel armies in the
Sonth-West."
Gen. Grant has forwarded an official account
of some of Col. Grierson’s cavalry operations
in Central Mississippi. He struck the railroad
30 miles east of Jackson; moved southward
toward Enterprise, demanded-the surrender of
the place, 'and gave one hour’s grace, during
which a Rebel force arrived. He left at once,
and moved' toward Hazleburst, on the New
Orleans and Jackson Railroad, and tors np the
track. Thence he pushed to Bahula, 10 miles
further south on the same road, and thence
eastward on the Natchez road, where ha had a
Jght with Wiert Adams’s cavalry. From this
point he mqved back to tho New Orleans and
Jackson Railroad to Brookbaven, 10 miles son tb.
of Bahais, and when last heard from he Was 10
miles sOuth.of Brookbaven, and was supposed
to be making bis way to Baton Rouge. He
had spread excitement throughout the State,
destroyed railroads, trestle-works and bridged,
burning locomotives and railway stock, taking
prisoners, and destroying stores of nil kinds.
! The capture of Grand Gulf, the stronghold of
the Rebels on the Mississippi, by our fleet un
der Admiral Porter, is one of the grandest
achievements of the war. In his report to the
Navy Department he says:
The works are of the most extensive kind,
and would seem to defy the efforts of a much
heavier fleet than the one which eilenced them.
The forts were literally torn to pieces by the
accuracy of our fire. Col, Wade, the comman
dant of the batteries, Was killed ; also his chief
of staff. Eleven men were killed that we know,
of, and our informant says that many were'
wounded, and that no one was permitted to go
inside the forts after the action except those
belonging there.
We had a bard fight for these forts, and it is
with great pleasure that I report that the navy
holds the door to Vicksburg. Grande Gulf is
the strongest place on the Mississippi. Had
the enemy succeeded in finishing the fortifica
tions, no fleet could have taken them.
I have been all over the works, and faund
them os follows : One fort on a'point of rocks,
75 feet high, calculated for six or eeven guns,
mounting two 7-inch rifles and one 8-inch, and
one Parrott gun on wheels, which was carried
off. On the left of this work is a triangular
work calculated to mount one heavy gun.—
These works are connected with another fort
by a covered way, and double rifle-pits extend;
ing one-quartfr of a mile, constructed with
much labor, and showing great skill on the
part of the constructor. The third fort com
mands the river in all directions. It mounted
one splendid Blakely 100-ponnder, one 8-inch,
and two 30-pounders. The latter were lying
hurst or broken on the'ground. , *
Relative to the first advance of Gen, Hooker,
the New York papers give the following as a
brief of Gen. Hooker’s own statement after he
had recrossed the Rappahannock:
He has recrossed the Rappahannock with bis
entire army and occupied the old encampments
without the loss of a wagon or an ounce of
provisions. He has taken, one more gun than
be has lost. Ho has lost, in killed, wounded
and missing, about tanf thousand men (other
accounts represent it even smaller,] and be
lieves the .enemy’s loss to be much greater, as
do other eye-witnesses of the-fighting; twenty
five hundred prisoners are in Gen. Hooker’s
hands- He has shattered, and demoralized the
Rebel army, awhile his own remains well-organ
ized and in good heart. He 'is himself tran
quil and in good spirits. Among the reasons
assigned in well-informed quarters for the ret
rogado movement are:
First: The flight of the Eleventh Corps, which
rendered Oeb. Sickles’a movements nugatory,
and forced the army oat of the carefully select
ed field of- battle to.whiomOen. Hooker referred
in bis Gsneral Order of April 30, and compelled
it to receive the enemy’s attack among densely
wooded hills where it was impossible to, bring
all, or nearly all onr troops into action; -
Second: The rising of the Rappahannock,
in.consequence of the storm, which was likely
to endanger the line of communications be
tween the army and and its snpplies, as the
railroad communication with Acquia Creek had
been destroyed.by the floods for twelve..hoars.
He was. also ignorant of the success of Gen.
Stoneman’s expedition until he had recrossei
• Ar gentleman who left Gen. Hooker’s head

made it a desert if their instructions bad per

Inoradible as the report of the officers!, who

say that only the. parole extorted from the pris

fact that on Monday last several, members of
the Richmond City Guard, which was composed
of between six and seven hundred of tbe-old
est citizens, returned to Richmond reporting
that their battalion was taken ■ prisoners by
Stoneman’a cavalry, about 15 miles from the
city, on Sunday night, while on a zeqoanois

of travel, and released on parole. Gen. Stone
