THE lINION-:THE CONS rITIITION-AND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW
HARRISBURG, PA
Tuesday gterllooll, April 15, 1862;
ALMOST "PLAYED OUT."
The garb in which we have clothed our neigh
bors, a fall, free and easy-fitting suit, with re
galia and appointments of the Knights of the
Ogden Circle, places them in such an unenviable
position before the public that they persist in
propounding all sorts of ridiculous questions
for our answer, simply that they may attract
public attention from their own excesses, and
meats suspicion against those whose lives have
been passed in honest industry and patriotic
acts of devotion to the government. The Patriot
people, however, are about "played out." They
have reached the end of their apostacy, and
they ate now literally in the market for a pur;•
chaser. The course of the proprietors of the Pa
triot hastiest them not only the confidence of this
community, but it has affected the subscription
list of that traitor sheet to such a degree that
a change of proprietors must be made, or the
sheet %%ill be abandoned to its filth, and left
entirely' without support. Consequently, we
do not deem the present proprietors_ or editors
of the Patriot competent to question loyal men;
and while its interrogations are the merest in
ventions for effect before the community, we
still.insist that they are only worthyof contempt
and ridicule.
Still, as a matter, perhaps, which may satisfy
the loyal men of this community, we most
cheerfully announce that there is a union in
progress throughout all the loyal states, of
which we submit the following as its binding
article:
We do hereby pledge ourselves, honorably
and faithfully, to bear true allegiance to the
13lsrrzn STATES OF AMERICA, and •to uphold, de
fend and protect its government, Constitution
and laws against all its enemies ; and to be true,
faithinl and loyal citizens ; and we do also
pledge our honor, faith and allegiance to the
STATE OP PENNSYLVANIA, in subordination only
to our faith and allegiance to the UNITED STATES
or ArnaticA.
, e spirit which the Patriot clamors
to prove as being so dangerous to the peace and
perpetuity of the Union. We desire the people
to mark the object which the Patriot denounces,
and weigh its claims to support and recognition
in a loyal community. -
The end of the Patriot, like that of the Penn
sy/vanian newspaper, will be one of shame and
bankruptcy. No loyal community will support
it under any control. It has made itself odious
by its treason, shameless aspersions of loyal
men, and desperate attempts to mislead the
community. It can well be spared from the
field_ of literature, the enterprise of business
and the advocacy of politics. One or two
changes will end its fate, and then it will have
earned its epitaph of "Apostate to party and
Traitor to country."
THEODORE FRELINGBUYEEN.
The death, on Saturday last, of the Hon.
Theodore Frelinghuysen, at his residence in
New Brunswick, is an event deserving of more
than a passing notice. Mr. Frelinghuysen had
In his day filled an important space in the pub
lic mind, and with a degree of dignity and pu
rity of life remarkable among our politicians.
He began his publiccareer•in 1818, as Attorney
General of New Jersey, and continued in vari
ous useful and elevated positions until near his
death, a period of forty-four years, United
Statei Senator six years, Chance dor of the Uni
versity of New York. eleven years, President of
Batger's College twelve years, and held, also,
other positions. In 1844 111 was the whig can
didate for the Vice Presidency with Henry
Clay. Throughout his life he was an eminent
ly religious man, and took an active part in
various religious and benevolent enterprises.
AN EPISODE of the siege of Yorktown is rela
ted by a correspondent of the New York Eve
ning Pont. A day or two since General Porter
set up in the balloon at five o'clock in the
morning, and when about one hundred feet
above the ground, the rope anchoring the bal
loon broke, and the General sailed off south
westerly towards Richmond. He was alone,
but had sufficient calmness to pull the valve
rope, and gradually descended, reaching the
ground in safety, about three miles from the
camp.
RUMOR " NAPOLtOke /II has resolved not to
recognize the bastard government of a gang of
slaveholders—or, perhaps, what is plainer, he
will decline to regard them as beligerents, and
treat them hereafter as they deserve to be
treated, namely—aspirates. Of COMBO this will
put an end to rebel steamers seeking French
harbor as a safety from the pursuit of national
war vessels. Thus the close of rebellion is
hastened on the land and on the Sea!

THE TERRITORY OF NEVADA
We gather some interesting particulars as to
the organization of the territorial government
in Nevada from the Governor's report, which
has just been printed. The Governor dates his
report from Carson City; and he commences by
stating that, as a preparatory step toward hold-
I Mg an election, he issued an order for taking
the census, the returns of which were made on
the Bth of August. The general election fol
lowed on the 81st of tho same month, and on
the 24th of September the complete returns were
filed in the office of the Secretary of the Terri
tory. Oa the Ist of October, the Legislature
was convened, and as an evidence of the strong
attachment of the people to the National Con
stitution and the Government, the Governor al
ludes to the strong Union resolutions which
passed both branches of the Legislative Assem
bly unanimously, as also the complimentary
resolutions upon the retirement of Lieut. Gen.
Scott from active service, which breathe the
love and affection with which the old chieftain
is universally regarded in the community. The
Governor, however, admits the existence of a
secession element in the Territory, and he says
it is made up of a small but desperate class of
men who pursue gambling for a living princi
pally, and who possess the virtue (if it may be
so denominated in this instance,) of perfect
unity in all their plans. Among the principal
acts of the Nevada Legislature at its first session
were bills establishing a boundary commission
to visit California, and urge the cession of ter
iitory to Nevada, provided 'or in the organic
act, the bill making Carson City the permanent
capital of the Territory, and the bill suggested
by the Governor in his message to the two
Houses providing for the payment of Nevada's
share of the nation tax. And his Excellency
refers with pardonable pride to the gratifying
fact that the Territory of Nevada, with one ex
ception, stands alone among the states and ter
ritories of the Union, in having provided by
legislation for the payment of her share of the
war debt. The money will be subject to the
draft of the Secretary of the Treasury of the
' 'United States by the month of August next.
THE VICTIMS OF THE SLAUGHTER AT
BALL'S BLUFF.
The most painful rumors have recently
reached the people of Pennsylvania that the
bodies of the soldiers from this state, who fell
victims to the treason and slaughter at Ball's
Bluff, had not received the rites of Christian
burial, and were yet partly exposed in the lo
cality where they were assassinated. These
rumors have attracted the notice of Governor
Curtin, who promptly brought the matter to
the attention of Surgeon General Smith, in the
following order:
Exsourrva CHAMBER,
Harrisburg, April 15, 1862.
Special Order.]
Having learned that the bodies of the Penn
sylvanians who fell at the Battle of Ball's Bluff,
were not properly interred, and that they are
now exposed, you will, with the utmost dis
patch, proceed to the battle ground and have
the bodies either buried there, at Washington,
or removed into the state for burial.
It is just to the memory of those brave men,
and to the feelings of their relations and
A. G. CITETIN,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief.
Surgeon Gtneral 8311TH.
We understand that Surgeon General Smith
will leave Philadelphia this evening to execute
this order. It must be remembered that in
this matter Gov. Curtin acts entirely on his
own responsibility, and that he must depend
on the liberality of the state to defray the
expenses that will grow out of this humane and
commendable work.
AN LeAuous Ouraeos on our national flag
is thus indignantly described by the West
Chester Village Record of to day. Certainly it
has no parallel that we know of, and ftrom its
character we should imagine that in the vicinity
where the outrage was perpetrated, there must
be an extensive influence of the Knights of the
Golden Circle or Breckenridge Democracy, such as
we have also in this city, and which finds its
utterances in the• Patriot. But our readers must
not be kept from the perusal of the outrage :
An act of infamy was perpetrated at Waynes
burg, Chester county, on Thursday night last,
which must excite • the indignation of every
loyal citizen. On Thursday afternoon, after the
reception of the news of the reception of the
Federal victory at Pittsburg Landing was re
ceived, some of the citizens unfurled the stars
and stripes to the breeze in honor of that glo
rious event.. Every loyal heart beat in exulta
tion that our national emblem floated in tri
umph. It was an elegant flag, and was stretched
across the street from McConnell's store to
Pim's hotel. What will the country think
when we tell them that men were to be found
in the community so despicable, so destitute of
patriotism, as to seize the first hour of darkness
to cut the rope, and. trail the emblem of our
national, glory in the dust ! On Friday morn
ing, the stars and stripes, which floated in tri
umph on the previous evening, had disap
peared! Such an act of treason must excite
the scorn of every honest heart that is not lust
to every sense of shame. Let this be remem
bered!
GEOBQE I'ILABODY, the Americap banker in
London, whose magnificent gift of £150,000 to
the poor of that city has excited so much com
ment and praise from the London press, has,
during his successful career,given away to char
itable objects no less than one million eight
hundred thousand dollars. He is a nnative of
Danvers, Massachuseets, and a descendant of
the Pilgrim Fathers, his ancestors having emi
grated from Bt.. Albans to New England in
1635. He began life poor, as an office boy,
when eleven years old. At fifteen he was a
merchant; and at twenty-seven parter in aßal
timore house, with branches both at New York
and Philadelphia. In 1837 he went to England,
and, entering the banking business in London,
has since then remained there.
no= is a very unkind hit at Jeff. Davis in a
late Richmond Whig. His speech to the
wounded soldiers gives the Whig "inexplica
ble pleasure" (the- Whig meant to say inex
pressible,) because it shows that "the President
has at last exhibited that warm human sym
pathy which so becomes the leader of a great
cause in a dark hour." In other words, Davis
has hitherto shown himself a selfish and inhu
man master, and nothing but the absolute peril
of crusliing defeat leads him to think of his
soldiers as human beings.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF FORT PU-
Seven Large Breaches Made in the
Walls.
THE PARAPET WALLS AND MAGA-
EXPLOSION OF 1000 SHILLS INSIDE TIM
The Savannah Republican of the 12th inst.,
announces the unconditional surrender of Fort
Pulaski upon the preceding day: e i
Seven large breaches were made n the walls
by our batteries of Parrott guns at King's land
ing, and all the Barbett guns on that side and
three casemate gnus were dismounted.
Three balls entered the magazine.
Col. Olmstead, the rebel commander, sig
nalled the day previous to surrender, that our
fire was so terrible that no human being could
stand upon the parapet for even a moment.
LATER.
Confirmation of the News by Southern
A flag of truce went up to Craney Island this
afternoon and brought back two Norfolk pa
pers.
They were taken to Head Quarters, and
though containing the important information
of the unconditional surrender of Fort Pu
laski an effort was made in accordance with the
policy that prevails here, to keep even good
news from the representatives of the press.
I am, however, enabled to give you the sub
stance of the glorious news as published in the
Savannah Republican.
It says substantially that it 'learns with deep
regret that after a gallant defence against guns
mostly superior, Fort Pulaski surrendered urk.
conditionally at 2 o'clock P. it. yesterday, the
11th inst.
Corporal Law, of the Pulaski Gaard, who did
not leave Thunderbolt until after the flag was
hauled down brings the intelligence of the
event.
The surrender was unconditional.
Seven large breaches were made in the south
wall by the Federal batteries of eight Parrot
guns, at King's Landing.
AU the barbette gnus on that side were 415-
mm:toted and also three of the - casemate guns,
ThreeVaraentered' theMigarine, and a clear
breach was made in it.
The balls used were conical, and were pro
pelled with such force that they went clear
through the walls at nearly every fire.
Colonel Olmstead, who was in command, tel
egraphed the previous evening that no human
being could stand upon the - ramparts for even
a single moment, and that over 1,000 large
shells had exploited within the fort.
The Republican publishes the above as a post
script to a part of its edition, and makes no
comment nor gives any particulars as to the
number of men and officers in the fort at the
time of its surrender. It says, however, that
none of its defenders were killed, and but four
wounded

ANOTHER ADVANCE BY OUR FORCED

Island.
Potatoes, Corn and Cotton to be
Planted.
WesaniaToN, - April 16
The Navy Department hes received des
patches from Commodore Dupont, enclosing a
communication from Commander Gordon,
dated 11. S. steamer Michigan,' March 80th,
from which it appears that on the 17th ult.,
with the launches and another armed boat,
he entered Jekyl creek and proceeded to Dtt
bignous place, where he discovered a deserted
battery of three guns, placed so as to command
that stream, and the remains of a camp of some
two hundred men.
A considerable number of cattle remained
on the island, but they were very wild upon
our-men approaching them.
On the 22d nit. the Bibb made her appear
ance and Capt. Bartlette at once commenced
placing the buoys for the bar and channel.
Commander Gordon says contrabands con
tinue to come to ns. I sent a number by the
Potomska to Fernandina and also several by
the Connecticut.
We landed our field pieces and a strong force
on Colonel's Island, and obtained what we
needed, and that night, after again firing a
shell at Fancy Bluff, proceeded to St. Simon's
and there I landed all the contrabands 'with al I
their corn and provisions, tools, etc. and
having housed them, set them to work. Already
they have planted the potatoes ; to-morrow
they will begin to prepare the land for corn.—
'they have set up their mill and I have told
them they are to plant cotton and thus become
of use to themselves.
They seem contented ; but without the pro
tection of a vessel at the other end of the Island
they are in danger of being interfirred with by
soldiers landing in that direction and approach
ing them at night.
St. Simons is a fine, rich Island about ten
miles long. On the North is a village called
Frederica. It is said to be a healthy place.
A thousand blacks could be usefully employ
ed here and made self supporting. Such a
colony, properly managed, would do much
good. Those that are now here, some forty in
number, live on T. Butler King's place, and
are under cover of our guns.

Information received from New Mexico states
that on the 26th ult. Col. Hough, with thirteen
hundred men, reached the Apache pass. His
advance, consisting of three companies of
cavalry, had an engagement some. distance
beyond this place with two hundred and fifty
rebel cavalry, and took fifty-seven prisoners.
The Union less was four killed and eleven
wounded.
At Pigeon ranche, fifteen miles from Santa

1,000 Texans, strongly posted at the month of
a Canon.
The fight began about noon. Col, Rough
engaged them in front with seven companies,
while Maj. Cherrington, with four companies,
engaged them in:the rear. The latter force suc
ceeded in driving the rebel guard away from the
supply train, which was captured anti burned.
They also captured one cannon and spiked it.
The fight continued desperately till 4 o'clock,
when it teemed by mutual consent. Col. Hough
withdrew his forces to a creek four miles dis

three officers and twenty privates killed, and
from forty to fifty wounded. The rebel loss is
not known. Communication between COI.

Mr. FEMINDBX, (111. e.,) from the Committee

Mr. MoDocosz, (Cal.,) called up the resolu
tion calling on the Secretary of War for infor
mation of the causes for the delay in the trial
of Gen. Stone, and whether the latter has ap
plied for a speedy trial, &c.
Mr. FASEOMDCN tuggesteci the resolution should
call on the President for information, instead
of the Secretary of War.
Mr. McDotraen replied that be especially pre
ferred it as it now stood. He alluded to the
fact that there is now fifty days since General
Stone was arrested at his home at midnight,
and be has sines been closely confined in a dark
fort without being able to learn why he was
arrested or by whom, nor had he been able to
learn whether his arrest was ordered by the
President, the Secretary of War or the Com
cuandiog General. The manner of his an est and
his confinement seemed to be more like the act
of the Venetian council of len than that
of the officers of a fret republic.
Mr. MCDOUGAL briefly recapitulated the cir
cumstances immediately prior to his arrest. He
bad visited the President and Secretary of War
on friendly intercourse.
HOUSE OF lIEPBESEETATWES.
Mr. Taowaaroez, (Mich.,) called up the mo
tion heretofore made by him to reconsider the
vote by which on the twenty-fourth of March
the House adopted a resolution requesting the
Secretary of War to inform them of the cause
if any of the protracted delay of exchanging
Col. Corcoran, who bas been a prisoner at the
South since July, and directing him to stop all
exchanges until Col. Corcoran can be released.
Mr. Thowattregs wished to saff distinctly that
manta in the way of the release of Col. Cor
coran, but he protested and asked the House to
join him against making the release of the
other prisoners subordinate to that of Colonel
Corcoran. He had no doubt that every gentle_
man had some friend whom he desired should
be released, though of a lower rank than Col.
Corcoran. He mentioned the name of Col.
Wilcox, of the Michigan Ist regiment, who
led a brigade into the battle of Bull Ban, as a
man of equal bravery and gallantry with that
officer,
Mr. Kumla, (11y.,) said he met with Col.
Woodruff the other day, and heard him tell the
President and Secretary of State that though
our prisoners at Richmond are exceedingly
tnxious to be released, they are willing, if the
purpose of the Government should require it,
to remain there as prisoners, and to serve their
country in that way and in any other.
Mr. Anomie, (Pa.,) who offered the resolu
tion, said lie was not aware till now that Col.
Corcoran was still a prisoner, and his only de
sire was to call attention to the fact that wor
thy and gallant soldiers are still held prisoners,
and to ascertain the cause of the delay in
making exchanges. After further converse
don, the resolution was amended so as to re
quest the Secretary of War to inform the
lions the cause, if any, which prevented the
exchange of Cola. Corcoran and Wilcox and
other prisoners of war held since July last.
