THE DUTY. OF UNION HEN AT TilE
- _ SOUTH
The Baltimore Clipper, decidedly the most in
dependent and patriotic paper in the Monu
mental City, prints the following bold and elo
quent address to the Union men of the South :
While war alarms are sounding in every di
rection, and the people North, South, East and
West are rushing to arms, there is not one true
patriot in any part of our widely extended
country who roes not earnestly desire a peace
ful settlement of our unhappy domestic diffi-
Reckless political gamesters in either
section may be willing to iuvite the wager of
battle and the bloody arbitration of a war, of
which none can see the end but the people—
EBBM
the masses of our countrymen still cherish a
lingering hope that this last resort may be
avoided, ai,d that peace may be restored and
the integrity of the Union maintained without
the shock of armies and the deadly encounters
of fratricidal war.
. . There is nothing to be expected in this res
.pect from the rash and reckless advocates of
disunion. They are mad. They are drunk
with frenzy. They have insanely taken service
under leaders whose desperate fortunes demand
that they should provoke civil war as the
last resort to save their necks from the pen
alty of the laws they have outraged. These
secession leaders cannot afford to make peace
without securing an amnesty fOr their treason.
They have passed the Rubicon, and for them
there is no retreat. A reconstruction of the
Union without a froe pardon to them would
only deliver them over t 3 sure and well de
served punishment for their heinous crime. It
is for this reason that they endeavor by mob
violence and force and arms to repress the ex-
hibition of any Union sentiment in the South
ern States, and by bold mitrepresentation and
arrant incendiarism to "fire the Southern
heart" and force a collision with the Federal
Government. They themselves can now have
no hope of success in the contest they invoke,
but they expect to secure the promise of am
nesty fur their offences, and they urge on a
hopeless war for the simple purpose of saving
their own necks from the gallows that the laws
award to traitors.
The people of the South are not all disunion
ists. They have been silenced and overawed
by mob violence and by armed force, but in
the seceded States, as well as in the border
States that have refused to be drawn into this
disunion vortex, there are hundreds and thou
sands and hundreds of thousands of Union
men, whose voices, if they were allowed to
•
ggarlitet c l i ti Mr /. ikioe ,a gi!VA:Tp on
these men a duty devolved. They have it in
their power to do more towards a restoration
of peace and a reconstruction of the Union,
than all the armies that may be raised. It is
for them, by the exercise of firmness and cour
age in the performance of their duty, to win a
bloodless victory, and to nobly vindicate before
the world the excelling beauty of our institu•
tions, and the power and permanency and self
sustaining sufficiency of a popular govern
ment.
The United States Government is not mak
ing war upon the seceded States. It does not,
and cannot, and will not recognize secession.
The States that have, by unlawful mobs,
[ been declared out of the Union, still
I reckoned as integral parts of the Confeder
acy. As such they are entitled to repre
sentation in the Federal Congress. It is thc
intention of the Government, as far as practi
, cable, to protect the loyal cttizens of these
States in the exercise of their constitutional
rights,and to emancipate them from the tyr
anny
of the mobiles who are attempting to set
up over them a military despotism. If the
Union men in these Southern States will choose
and vote for representatives in the Congress of
the United States, they will be recognized, and
will be able to do more towards arriving at a
peaceful solution of pending difficulites than
all the national conventions that will ever he
assembled.
In Kentucky the Union men will have it all
their own way. The recent overwhelming
Union majority given there has driven the
secessionists from the field, and the leaders
advise an avoidance of a contest that will only
betray their weakness. In Missouri the Union
men will prevail over all opposition. They
are arming themselves to resist the attempted
extension of an armed despotism over their
State, and they will unquestionably be success
ful. la Mary laud, we can without doubt
elect a full Union representation in Congress,
if the true Upion men of the city of Baltimore
will act prudently and firmly, and insist that
the fate of the whole Union party and the
result in the State shall not be sacrificed to the
vaulting ambition and personal advantage of
any individual. This is a struggle for our coun
try and our country's good, and the individual
who, for the gratification of his ambition or
for his personal advantage, is willing to cast
[ even a hair's breadth of difficulty in the way of
' the achievement of a glorious Union victory, is
[ unworthy of the countenance or support of
I
Union men. In Virginia, the Western part of
the State is almost a unit fur the maintenance
of - the Union, and notwithstanding the Gov
ernor and the State Convention have betrayed
the people, and have filled Eastern Virginia
with troops from other States to brow beat
Union men, and, by force, prevent any expres
sion of their opinions, there will be in the field,
even there, Union candidates for the Congress
of the United States.
Let the Union men of all the Southern
States, in which this infamous mob despotism
has been set up, at once prepare to follow the
example of 'the Union men of Virginia. In
each Congressional district let them select and
vote for some brave, firm, tried, loyal and
able matt as their representative in the Con-1
gross of the United States. If they cannot "
have poll books opened for this purpose by au
tbority and in accordance with the, legal forms,
they should do whatever they can. They
may open polls among themselves and send
certified copies of the result to the clerk of the
"House of Representatives at Washington, and
let their representatives, thus, elected, appear
and take their seats in the national councils
and exercise their rights as representatives of
the loyal people._ Rebels have no right to' a
representation there. They must first purge
themselves by passing through the courts or
[ by repentance of their crime and acknowledge-
Intent of their allegiance.
, There is in all these seceded States a large
body of citizens who are still loyal to the Fed
leyal Government. If they were permitted to
Ispeak. and to vote without restraint or intimi
dation there would be found in' all of them a
very respectable minority, and very probably
In some of them a majority of Union naen. The
system of terrorism that has been instituted
and the treason of the State governments, will
leave these States without a representation in
the United States Senate ; but they may all be
represented in the House of Representatives.
The appearance of able men and true Union
loving patriots in that body, as representatives
of the Union men of the South, will hive a
salutary effect, and will go far towards bring
ing about a peaceful solution of our domestic
distractions. It will be an evidence to the
leaders of the disunion conspiracy that while
all parties in the North are united in one great
Union party, the South itself is divided and
their conspiracy must be a failure. It will
serve to temper the counsels of Northern men,
and show them how they may best foster and
protect the Union sentiment at the South and
enable it to assert its power and gain the as
cendancy.
The exhibition of power on the part of the
Government is for the preservation of the
Union and the suppression of an unholy con
spiracy. -It is not intended to wage war upon
Southern institutions or the Southern people,
but to vindicate 'the Constitution and main
tain the supremacy of the law. Now is the
time for brave and loyal Union men in the
Southern States to take their position and
firmly to maintain it, as the Union men of Ten
nessee and Virginia are determined to do, by
opposing force to force, if necessary, and
meeting their oppressors with arms if it should
be required. They will not be alone in the
struggle. The Union men of the loyal States
will rally by hundreds of thousands to their
support, and the whole power of the Govern
ment will be irresistably exercised in their
defence.

FROM CHAMBERSBURG
CHANBERSBTIRG, May 20
A detachment of 700 Virginia troops have
arrived opposite Williarnspott, on the Potomac
river, only twenty-six miles south of this
point.
It is believed here that they intend to make
an incursion into. the, southern borders of this
State. Affairs grow interesting here.
FROM CHARLESTON
The Charleston Courier of Friday says : "For
two days past our port has been without the
presence of the Niagara, which vessel has left
for parts unknown. She has been reported off
Savannah in company with the brig Perry, and
has been seen off North Edisto, but at present
we have no certain information of her position.
The Huntress has also been observed near this
bar, but she has also left. Our port is conse
quently without obstruction at this moment,
and yesterday we had several arrivals from
several ports ; among them a cargo of molasses
from Cardenas, and a British brig with pig
iron and coal, from Glasgow. The latter has
been taken up to return to the same port, and
has been engaged full of Sea Island Cotton at
the enormous freight of 27 a. per pound. Such
a freight has not been given in the memory of
the oldest inhabitant.
"Capt. Elizey, late of the United States ar
my, has tendered his services V) Lhe Confed
erate States."
Occasional arrests take place of persons
charged with uttering treasonable sentiments,
or of being spies. In no case, however, as yet,
has punishment been inflicted. One of °I he
former class has been liberated on taking the
oath of allegiance. Commodore Tatternall, of
the Confederate Navy, assigned to the com
mand of the naval forces at Charleston, has
arrived there. Col. Vosburg, of the New York
71st Regiment, died this morning of hemor
rhage of the lungs. His remains will be sent
to New York for interment.
Major General Butler left here this morning
for Annapolis, whence he will proceed to Fort
ress Monroe to assume the command of the new
Military Departments assigned to him.
Advices frum the South represent that the
Charlestonians are erecting batteries of rifled
cannon on the coast, to fire into the blockading
fleet.
There is no positive news from Virginia, but
it is believed that the forces collected to resist
the Federal troops, have been exaggerated.
George Shreok, of Schuylkill county, a pri-
vate in the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, died
yesterday. The regiment is quartered in the
Inauguration Hall, which is in a most unwhole
some condition from stagnant pools and dead
animals under its floor.
The Government has determined to release
the persons arrested here as spies, on their
takjgg tkvaik ortheiii have already corn
plied.
John Eppley of York, Pa., has been appoint
ed Route Agent on the railroad between RAW
more and Harrisburg, in place of -- Ma
hon y, removed.
It is the general impression here that a
movement on Harper's Ferry will take place
this week.
Senator Foote of Vermont tenders to the
Government ten regiments of Green. Mountain
boys. In fact, the State would contract do up
the fight on reasonable terms, if the,Govern
ment wants to let out the job. In that event,
Rhode Island would be admitted to a "rak e in
the contract."
The ladies of Washington have prepared a
magnificent flag, which they propose to present
to the President, to be floated from the White
House. The dimebsions of the banner will be
thirty-six feet by fifty four, and it will cost
about $3OO. On the occasion of its presenta
tion, it is expected there will be a dress parade
of all the forces in Washington, except those
on guard duty.
COAST GUARD STEAMER ATTACKED.
NEW YORK, May 20.
Special dispatches received here this af
ternoon report that one of the Government
coast guArd steamers got ash Ore last night at
the mouth of the Potomac, and was attacked
by an armed propeller from Richmond with a
large force of the rebels. After a brisk con
test the rebels were repulsed. Their loss is
unknown. Four United States soldiers were
killed and five wounded. The latter were
landed at Fort Washington to day. - Another
steamer with 50 soldidrs has gone in pursuit of
the pirates.
The steamer De Soto, from Havana, reports
passing the 11. S. steam frigate Niagara and
gun boat Huntsville, on the 17th inst. They
were cruising in the Gulf for privateers ; they
had captured two vessels, and sent them North
in charge of prize crews.
Advices from Key West state that Captain
Craven of the U. S. steamer Crusader had
seized the steamer Shawnee. He was also
arming the celebrated yacht Wanderer which
will be sent to the Gulf as a cruiser.under the
command of a Lieutenant of the United States
Navy.
The city of Key West remains loyal to the
Union, all the seditious persons found are to be
removed from the island. Major French had
appointed a magistrate who has superseded the
Mayor, Justices and other local officers. It is
reported that the schooner W. C. Atwater had
been seized by the rebels at Cedar Keys and
sent to Apalachicola, where Capt. Allen was
hung by a mob. This report needs confir
mation.
