these can be affected in small degree by so
contediptible a party—hdt peridadicg the
rebels that their cause is not utterly hopeless,
and in thus lengthening out the NvAr. If the
t3outit were but convinced of what is really the
case . , that the nation has determined, wit4,B,
resolution which no defeat can shake and no
difficulty can appal, that the war shall have but
one end, namely —the unconditional,suhmiqqn
of the rebels to the lawful authority of -the y
Government of the United States i" if, the con
federates were bat convinced., of this fact, the
war would be: soon over. !yety rebel , placed,
between the alternative of death or, submission
would find strong motives to accept i the.milder,

well submit now, and make., the best of it,
would be the natural lefiection in the mind of

TREASON ON THE IMPAGE!
A DA.UPCIIN COUNTY DEMAGOGUE UN-
BOSOMING HIMSELF.
The True Position of Copperheadism 2
From the Franklin Repo itvry and Transcript, Tune 8.
We have never heard, since the eleetion
Abraham Lincoln to the Presidential Chalk.,
such a belct.ing out of iuvectives and- Mite( ra
Lion aslhat done by the would-be loyal Dem.,c
racy, in Franklin Rall, on Saturday evening
last. We doubt not, iirdted, that they are
false to the . came of the—country ; that every_
effort they are making to embarrass the Presi.
dent and his Cabinet,' la the suppression of the
rebellion, is actuated through the purest love
for their Southern brethren;•that they are, made
through the greatest anxiety to divide.the
North, and thus overthrow the Government
There certainly never was , a more absurd as
semblage than theone in Franklin Hall on Satur
day evening,/ This great meeting of pretended
loyalistafteas-addressed by the Hods. William .
H. Miller,.of Harrisburg. and Geo. W. Brewer,
of this 'plan . ). M Miller,-utikutunately for
the citizens' of 'the IJUiteff .Siates, was elected
to represent the Dauphin District in the next'
Congress, as many otners of like stamp, have
been choien in the •same way—by preventing
the men,uho were then fighting for oar country
from' enjoying the right of suffrage. Mr. Mil
ler was introduced to hie "fellOw'Derincrats,"
and commenced his address by; oui3gizin r
164pnblican form of Government and wound up
with thehitter.st 'denunciation of our present
and best Goverhinentun tirsi'faiteef the earth,
13y abusing and eliciestorkito stifle the Ad
ministration at Washington.
From his generalappearance, his hair hang
ing over his eyes, and the style of,his address,
I it is but fair to conclude that be is a fitter sub-.
ject for some insane asylum, or some prison,
than for the Halls °four next Congress. He
is surely insane or deeply dyed-with treason
Nearly every sentiment uttered by him might
readily ; hays been applauded on the streets of
Bich.; und; and could have bet n done with
pei feel:safety. He appeared brimful of sympa-.
thy for the rebels, not a single sentence; was
Uttered by hint against them ; but, giving him
rielf full swing,; be clamored and raved against
Presidenti Litwin ; going on like a madman,
against the,," insufferable , usurper and desiott"'
1148, political howler is, of the character that
!arida such traitors. as Vallandighans, amen who
uttered the following sentiments at Newark,
New Jersey : •
', It has,been Proclaimed that it never was
their (the rebels)purpose toiniadethe Northern;
States.' It is very_ true that, if this war is
kept up, battles fought, no relenting spirit, no
preppeot of Rawe r no sound of concord to reach
their eare,Ahey:ewhf to be induced to make that in-
*non.' '.- -•., • .
In the same speseh Vallandiebam earnestly
Invoked hostility to the efforts of the Govern
ment in the further prosecution of the war and
diked the Locofoco assemblage with a sneer, if
they would send their sons again to the battle
field, and whether they would permit those
eons to be conscripted for two years more? The
ready response of these would-be patriotic' sires
were yells and cries of "No !" "Never !" "we'll
Eee, them (the Government) d—d first !"
This is the style of loyalty advocated by the
man whom Mr. Miller landed so- highly. He
was bold and defiant as are all those who are
Opposed to the Government.
In referring tb his friend and "fellow Damo
&at" Vallandighem he said, "there are plenty
of men who would be very willing to exchange
with President Davis;and give Lincoln for Valk
lindighani." We say down with the villain
Who ...third boldly bears his traitor heart and is
Wirirpeect i pitiful vti Do
hill Merida who endorse his course not,fear the
+salt ? Do they not see the seed of discord
and disloyalty which• he is bo industriously
spwitig, nnd;Oltioli biii;`to-flome extent, taken
4et., Every man is an enemy to the Govern
nt,wito publicly proclaims his opposition to
easures adopted by the, Administration for
the suppression of the rebellion, it mitters not
whether his name be Vallandigham or Miller.
Tt is teaching disobedience to the laws.

which they did in a few minutes.
I beg leave to enclose a letter froni Can. Mc
Arthur, explaining why he did (to use bis own
expression`) - take advantage of ; the results
gained by the gunboats. I have since leaped
from Gauen - it - Otani that the army did aseenit
at the right time' vigorously. „lit the , noise and
smoke we could not see or hear it. " The gun
boats were, therefore, still fighting when the
assault had - proved unsuccessful.,
The army had tenibliwork before them, and .

have given us much trouble::
the rebe's had under construction a fine
navy yard, cuntainiog tine sawing and planini t ,
machines, and an extensive machine shop, 4.1

log yard. Lieutenant Commanding Walker
burned all these with a large quantity of valu
able building timber. He also burned a large
saw-mill that bad been used In constructing the
monster rem.
The material destroyed, at a moderate
ati
mate, cost more than two millions of dollars.
We had one man killed and seven wounded by
field pieces from the enemy's b Merles, received
while going up the river: Our wounded are

in`relation to this affair. He deserves much
credit for the handermars manner in which he
performed the dutraasigned him. If he could
