THE UNION_THE CONSTITUTION-ANT THE EIVOECIEMENT OF THE LAW. HARRISBURG, PA Saturday Morning, August 10, Ib6l. THE FOURT.B .REGLMENT. THEIR COW4RDICE CORROBORATED BT OFFICIAL TESTIMONY When the Fourth Pennsylvania regiment ar rived in Harrisburg, immediately after the bat tle of Bull Hun, the people and the press of the state capital naturally inquired how this regi ment could be in their midst, while the boom ing of cannon and the flash of musketry had so rrcely died away on the road to Manassas. These inquiries led to charges of cowardice, and these charges aroused the ire of the men of the Fourth, who beseiged our office, threatened us with personal violence, and went so far as to declare that they would raze the city to its foundation, if like intimations were rept ated in regard to their valor in arms or devotion to their country In the hour of danger. On this subject, we have higher authority than any.we could heretofore furnish; and we are now able to point to the damning evidence of the cowardice and desertion of the Fourth PUnnsylvania. regiment. In the report of Gen. McDowell,vhich we published yesterday morn ing, the following language occurs : On the eve of the battle the Fourth Penn sylvania regiment of volunteers and the battery of volunteer artillery of the New York Eighth militia, whose term of service expired, insisted on their discharge. I wrote to the regiment, expressing n request for them to remain a short time, and the Hon. Secretary of War, who was at the time on the ground, tried to induce the battery to remain at least five days. But in vain. They insisted on their discharge that night. It was granted, and the next morning, when the army moved forward into battle these troops moved to the rear to the sound of the enemy's cannon. • After such testimony, we submit the case of the cowardice of the men of the Fourth Regi ment to the peorle of Pennsylvania. Before God and their country they stand convicted of an action which others and not themselves must wipe out, while every man who thus basely de serted the nag of his nation has forfeited his title and his heritage as an American citizen. In contrast with the action of the regiment, the gallant conduct of their leader, Col. Her traft, stands out in bold relief, as the evidence of his courage, his personal integrity and his manly patriotism. As the matter stands now, the officers and men of the Fourth Regiment are bound to ex plain, or suffer the dreadful suspicion that rests upon their reputation. We have all joined in yielding to the volunteer his just meed of com mendation. We have cried our throats hoarse with huzzas of encouragement as he left, and bid him welcome with shouts as he returned, while the fairest hands have been weaving gar lands for hitbrow, and the brightest eyes smil ing upon him as the noblest of their defenders. We have a right, then, to be just, and refuse that respect and regard, where it seems to be unmerited. The report of Gen. McDowell is an inter_ eating and important document, recording the history of a Aisgrace to the American arms which has dinnaed:the escutcheon of the Amer ican honor. THE PATRIOT . AND -TRE PAYMASTER The editors of the Patriot this morning in dulged in their usual train and tissue of false hoods, to escape the responsibility of their mis representations, and force the odium of their own action on the shoulders of their local report er. In this instance, as in all others, when the course of that journal excites the disgust and the contempt of the community, and when there is no possibility of the saintly Barrett or the vivacious McDowell escaping public censure, they compel their local reporter to father the offspring of their own mental abortion, as if the public were nt able, to distinguish between them and he, while, he were pursuing their ingratitude and ancient enmity against a family that has warmed some of them• into existence, and preserved the credit of others from utter and irretrievable bankrujoy. It is not of the, harm that the - Patriot can do the Seeretary of War that we complain—because in this con nection the difference is too great between the men to excite any fear in that particular, as the party tinselled rises infinitely above the malice and groveling motives of his assailants, too honorable to deem-them worthy of reply, and too honest to consillef himplf, in clanger by the assault. Nor is It for T. D. Cameron that we will attempt to aod,iee , ;because of the envy, the meanness and premeditated attempt of the editors of the Patriot to rend his character as they have rended their own by their' own base and cowardly conduct. What J. D. Cameron done in protesting against the payment of paper money to the soldiers, was frankly and manfully performed, with no thought of its being made public, unfit a party of volunteers themselves called on the writer' of this article and den arukd that it should be done. We leave the public to judge the motives of Messrs. Barrett & McDowell in this business, as they have heretofore judged and condemned their course on the subject of our relations to the rebellion in the- hotith. Tliejr ,started in, a per sistent opposition to the federal authorities, aril when public opinion beat down and crushed out that cowardly attempt, they exhibited their envenomed motive, and strike in another direc tion with the same malice, the same audacity and the same object in view. Unless they slander, they could net exist--vvithout libel, they are powerless,and in any other path than that of vituperation and slang, they travel out of the way of their mission, and trace the measure of their own cowardly conduct. The men whom they thus wantonly assailed this morning, are the men who have most contri buted to the credit of the publishers of the Patriot and Union, AND THEY KNOW IT, however basely they mag attempt to deny it, by an insolent offer to make any explanation of their ungrateful con duct that the Secretary of War may desire. The explanation they have made is sufficient for this community. It stamps them with the proof of their own cowardly falsehoods, and leaves them steeped to their lips in their own foul corruptions. THE REPUBLiOANS OF NEW YORK. The Republican. State Convention of New York, at a recent meeting of that uody in Al bany, passed the following resolution : Itewlved, That a committee of five be appoint ed to wait upon the Democratic State Commit tee at their meeting to be held in this city on tue Bth inst., to invite them to call their Con vention at the same time and place as thw-Re publicanConvention, for the purpose of enabling the two Conventions to unite in the nomina tion of a Union ticket, pledged to a vigorous prosecution of the war. for the restoration of the authority of the Constitution, and the exe cution of the national Jaws in all sections of the country. At present we can only commend the spirit which dictated this proposition, as being of that patriotic character which has distinguished the organization, contests, triumphs and adminis tration of the Republican party; from its origin to its present proud and glorious position ; but we must reserve any further comments until the Democratic Committee of the Empire State has responded to tids.noble,appeal. The Re publicans of the Union, while they are willing to forego party nominations, and give up old preferences to serve the wants of the country, must not forget also that they have involved so far as they are concerned, principles on which are based the very life and prosperity of the country. These must be insisted upon, or the cause we now advocate and the contest we are waging for the Union, will be placed in a jeop ardy from which no arm can rescue it—simply because by this union with all cliques some of those who now secretly sympathize with the rebels, may be clothed with power. In this re spect, New York as well as Pennsylvania abounds with secret foes to the government, foes who claim to be Democratic, but Demo crats who are the bitterest poseible disunionists. Just at this time, we must watch every move in thB north, by those who are clamoring for the absolute destruction of all party lines. If the people carefully observe these men, thei will discover that they are those who were for merly the apologists of treason as a necessity forced upon the people of the south by the elec tion of Abraham. Lincoln. Thesemen now seek power in a new disguise; and if they are so for tunate as to gain their ends, the result will prove that they are atill the allies of the slave power. .The above paragraphs were written and in tended to have been published yesterday, but they were 'crowded out by a press of other mat ter. Since then we learn by telegraph that the Democratic State Committee of New York have rejected the proposition of the Republican Com mittee, on the ground that they are determined to maintain a direct party organization, and that they are also resolved, while approving of the prosecution of this war, to do all in their power to satisfy the south, and bring them back again into the Union. It is not difficult to dis cover the motive and.object of this resolve on the part of. the leading Democratic politicians of New York. They have dii.covered that in the north, whether they affiliate with Republicans or maintain their own- organization, they - are politically dead -andthat their only-hope is to restore the power and prestige of those in the south who 'are now in rebellion, and then form an alliance, with,them for the achievement of victories sdch as.brought about the corruption which emboldened the traitors to concoct their present treason. Hereafter, let tbese sneaking demagogues be silent on the subject of no party. Hereafter, too, let:the people watch them, as they devise plans for the escape of those in rebellion. Our word for it that there is more treason concoct ing against the peace of the:Union in the State of New York than there is treason being en acted in the rebel domain of South Carolina, and that the most active traitors are those who declare that they are ready to compromise for the sake of mace, with the leaders of the re bellion. Ta CORRESPONDENTS of the press in Wash ington, generally, are at length fully impressed I with the necessity : of get,teporting army move ments, or anything in the shape of news calcu lated to give any aid and comfort fo the enemy. The wishes of General lal'elellan will, in this respect, be faithfully adhered to. Some stringent measures, will, however; bemecessary to get the press of that city,. as well as of Baltimore, into the traces. Some newspapers in New York, who too boldly avow - secession sympathies, also need a little looking after, and in a day or two means will be taken, to cool the secession ardor of the journals referred to. It is of the highest importance that the press, of the country should properly appreciate the responsibility attaching to it, and that the utmost•care be taken to pub lish nothing inconsistent with the puillic weal. Joan LEYBURN, oue of the editors of the Phil adelphia Presbyterian has retired from a connec tion with that journal; because ‘.`circumstances arising out of the present agitation of the coun try have satisfied" him " that he cannot with propriety continue to occupy his editorial chair."

FROM FORTRESS MONROE. Advance of General Magruder with Village of Hampton Burned by FIVE HUNDRI,D HOUSES DESTROTEJ. OUTRAGES BY THE "CHIVALRY.' FLIGHT OF UNION MEN AND WOMEN. A. Company of Rebels Repulsed In attempt ing a Passage of the Bridge. THREE KILLED AND SIX WO UNDED MAGRUDER ENCAMPED AT NEW MARKET BRIDGE. NO ATf ACK ON NEWPORT NEWS FEARED. Preparing for the Winter Campaign The village of Hampton has been burned by Gen. Magruder in his advance with the rebel forces. scouts and fugitives yesterday morning brought word of the approach of a large Con federate force from Yorktown. These rumors wLre confirmed at 5 p. m. by an intelligent deserter from the secessionists named E A. Mahew, a native of Maine, but resident of Georgia until impressed into service , who-fur nished an account of the expedition. Mr. Mahew has been stationed at Yorktown since the Id of June. On Friday last Colonel (now Gen.) Magruder left Yorktown with a force of 7,000 men, including 200 cavalry and 8 pieces of artillery, viz: 8 Parrot guns, 4 Howitzers and 1 Rifled cannon. Part of the troops were from Williamsburg. On Monday night they encamped at Great Bethel which had been completely deserted. On Tuesday night they advanced towards Hemp ton and at noon took up a position on Back river some three miles from the town, where Mahew managed to escape through a corn field, and by swimming a couple of streams reached the fortress. He sad s the object of this expedition was to draw out our forces to attack Camp Hamilton near New i port News, if prac ticable, and at least to destroy Hampton, so as to prevent us from using it for winter quarters. Gen. Butler at once repaired to this end of Hampton bridge, where he remained until four o'clock. Col. Weber erected a barricade near the Hampton end of the bridge and placed a strong guard at various points on this side of the creek. A few minutes past midnight Gen. Magruder, with about 600 confederates, some of them belonging in Hampton entered the town and.immediately fired the buildingsi with torches. The greater part of the five hundred houses were built of wood and as no rain has fallen lately, the strong south wind soon produced a terrible conflagration. There were perhaps twenty white people and double that number of negroes remaining in the town from inability to remove, some of whose houses were fired without waking the inmates. The rebels gave Carey Jones and his wife, both of them aged and infirm, but fifteen min utes to remove a few articles of furniture to the garden. Several of the whites and also of ne groes were hurried away to be pressed into the confederate service. Wm. Scofield, a merchant, took refuge in a swamp above town. Two negroes were drowned while attempting to cross the creek. A company of rebels attempted to force the passage of the bridge, but were repulsed with a loss of thrde killed and six wounded. -- - . The fire raged all night. The greater part of the confederates withdrew toward morning, and at noon to-day, when I visited the place, but seven or eight buildings were left standing. The destruction of the town was a wanton act of cruelty to resident Unionists, and more over entirely useless, as General Butler intends to winter Ins army beyond Hampton. An attempt will be made to fasten the act upon the General, but after tea on Wednesday night ;here was not a federal soldier in Hamp ton. A flag of truce just in from Norfolk with Miss Mayo a nice of Gen. Scott, on her way from Richmondi to New York, states that the rebels attribute the act to Gen. Butler. Gen. 'Magruder has encamped near New Mar ket Bridge. He will hardly venture to attack Nesvport News. Mr. Mahew stated that there have been about 7,000. rebels stationed at Yorktown. Some ten days ago a battalion came down to the outskirts of Hampton and carried away 180 negroes. -Provisions are aboundant at Yorktown, and most, of the regiments are receiving new uni forms for the winter campaign. ANOTHER FIGHT IN MISSOURI. The Rebels Routed and Pursued. SEVERAL ;KILLED AND THE SAME NIIM- Eighteen Prisoners Taken and Thirty-One Horses Captured, Qursox, M., Aug._ 8. A band of rebel; numbering from 1,000 to 1,200, made an attack upon the camp of the Union men at Athens, Mo., on Monday morn ing last, at 6 o'clock. There was a considerable amount of arms and ammunition for the United States troops stored in this place, under guard of the troops com posing this camp, United States volunteers,' nurubering,about three hundred and fifty, under command of Captain Moore. The fighting lasted about an hop; Mien the rebels retreated. In the meantime Captain Afoorehaving been reinforced by about one hundred and fifty men from Centralia, lowa, on the opposite side of the river, gave chase after the rebels for about a mile and a half, killing one of their number, taking eighteen prisoners, and capturing thirty= one horses and two secession flags. Several of the rebels were wounded in the chase after the battle, and six or eight rebels were found dead on the field. In the afternoon the bearer of a 'rebel flag of truce to the Union camp admitted that they carried fourteen killed, and that as many were wounded and missing.

Amoug the broken sentences heard were that " lie desired to speak for the poor and weak, and nut for the rich and powerful." A voice responded "You lie and you know you do." He referred to the position of Maryland whose citizens had again and again been outraged in their dearest coustitultoAWkighta, and to all respectful enquifiesifi l Uochaigesalleged against those who had been rudely '40E14 from their homes and family, nothing but' contemptuous responses had been heard. "Do-you," he said, "call this liberty ?" Cries.of "turd no !" inter mingled with hisses and shouttiooOh ! dry up, you traitor," &c. Mr. Breckinridge enquired., why they were present it they did not desire to hear him. Cheering, followed by hisses, drowned his voice. A violent commotion was now observed among the crowd, which swayed from pave ment to pavement as under strong excitement, and the espantoons of the police were plied with vigor on the heads of those who seemed to be resisting. Mr. Breckinridge speaking amid the din said, that, "those who interrupted him with oppro bious epithets and with hisses were poor fellows who were tightening the degrading fetters which bound them." Renewed cheering, fol lowed instantly by a renewal of violent distur bance. Mr. Breckinridge. " You poor „fellows may hiss me now, but your children will bless me." A voice, "oh, go to South Carolina, and be d---ii to you." This was met by venement cheers, and a rush by the police followed by a gang of men from the right towards the side from whence proceeded the cheers, during which several men were severely beaten and hurried bleeding from the street. Mr. Breckinridge. "If you don't intend to allow me to speak, then disperse the crowd. I did not volunteer to address you, remember." [Cheers and hisses.] "If I did not know the squad of men disturbing this assemblage were no exponents of the sentiments of the people of Baltimore I should, despair of your city." [Cheers for. Jeff Davis and Gen. Scott.] Another scene of commotion again ensued. Amid frequent interuptions the speaker pro ceeded to say that singe the time when the Con stitution had been designated as the limit to despotic power, nothing so outrageous as these enacted by the Administration had ever oc curred. "Liberty," he said, "existed before the Constitution was formed, and whenever the issue is presented between that on the one hand and a mere form of Government on the other, the form would perish, but principles would survive." Hisses, groans and cheers. Mr. Breekinridge. I feel personally respon sible for the poor fellows so rudely treated. I grieve to think any one should be hurt on my account. Cries of "Go on !" Cheers for Jeff. Davis and the Southern Confederacy. LATE SOUTHERN NEWS. CONGRESSMAN ELY AT WORK DITCHING• Reported Naval Engagement on the Mississippi. Hon.

Mr. Burden, stage proprietor, who has - just arrived from Springfield, which place he left on Monday . at noon, furnishes the following items : General Lyon with his forces had fallen back 'on Springfield, having reached there on Mon day morning, and was preparing for a vigorous defence. The rebels were advancing by four different roads, and their advance was ascer tained to be from ten to fifteen miles distant. General Lyon had called on 2500 of the Home Guards from the country around Spring field. = It was expected that the enemy would make an immediate attack, from the fact that their commissary 'department was in a miserable con dition, they being obliged to depend on forced contributions for temporary supplies. It was genendly remarked in Springfield that Gen. Lyon was perfectly confident of success in case of an attack. He had no entrenchments, but would depend won his splendid artillery in the open field. Fifty wagons, laden with pro visions hadtreached him. A TRAITOR ARRESTED ST. Louis, Aug. 8.
