HARRISBURG, PA.
Saturday Afternoon, April 19,1862
Tris Attaxer or Gas. Csiteaort has caused the
profoundest sensation throughout the country,
and the press, with a few insignificant excep
tions, regard it as a new phase of the traitor
sympathy which showed itself with so much
virulence before Sumter was basely attacked
or oor troops at Bull Run so unaccountably
panicized. That he was arrested on the charge
of having falsely imprisoned, while Secretary
of War, certain parties, then charged with
secession, does not lessen this feeling, because
the fact is so clear that these persons had then
expressed their preferences for the rebel cause,
that the wonder predominates as to why they
were ever released from prison. 7he New York
Oterrmacial Advertiser, commenting on this sub
ject says that there were a large number of
noisy defenders of secessionism at the north all
summer and winter, is just as true as that there
were tortes in the revolutionary war. Whether
designedly or not those men were in effect ren
dering aid and comfort to the foe, by deluding
him with the idea that he had only to advance
and he would find all the support among us that
be could require. The testimony of hundreds
of southern rebels is explicit on this point.
All expected an outburst of the northern Break
bridge party, with whose aid the task of
ldexicanizing the country would be rendered
easy. We say it deliberately that half the
strength of the insurgent army was due to this
belief—most fortunately ill-founded. Northern
sympathizers with disunioniam either meant
to render Davis and his fellow conspirators
material aid, or they did net. If the former
imprisonment was far too good for them, they
ought not to censure the government for con
fining them, but laud its clemency for their
easy escape. If the latter, they have been
guilty of committing a piece of most cruel
and heartless deception toward their quondam
"southern brethren" now in arma against the
Union.
Sax somas after the ratification of a treaty of
race between the Confederate States and the United
States, the Confederate States of America will pay
Twenty Dollars to bearer. Such is the inscription
and the pledge printed on what purports to be
a Twenty Dollar Confederate note, and such is a
specimen of the financial fraud by which the
rebels have thee far managed to sustain the
rabble and assassins whom they would have the
world believe compose a respectable and a
valiant army. In the beginning, there is not a
single security contained in the pledge, to ren
der the note bearing it of the least possible
value., No treaty of peace will ever be entered
into between the United States and the confed
erate pirates and assassins. Those who origi
ns* and issued these bills understood this
fact, and therefore they deemed it safe thus to
pledge the faith of the confederacy. They were
'coriVinced at the time, that the note was only a
false pretence to procure aid from the people,
or for the time being to divest their mode of
procuring supplies for the rebellion from its
reality of theft and burglary.
There are millions of dollars of this species
of currency in circulation in the south. It is
forced on the people in that locality, and the
question will some day arise whether the federal
government cannot legally compel the states
thus issuing these notes, to redeem them for
their expressed value. The question is now
Clear that the rebels will hereafter be taxed and
forced to pay their quota of the expenses in
curred in suppressing rebellion, and when such
a sum is added to what they have squandered
and the debts they have and will incur to main
tain rebellion, the confederate states will have
a very respectable load of indebtednebs to carry.
These are questions, of course, for after consid
eration, but this suggestion is not out of place
at this time ; and when fact is fairly under
stood, as it must be very soon, in the south,
we have a notion that its effects on rebellion
Neill be as crushing as one of the charges of
some of our gallant Pennsylvanians. •
WHiti CONGRESS refunded the fine imposed on
Gen. Jackson, for having done his duty in
sternly dealing with the enemies of the country,
they set a noble example of determination to
support a faithful officer when In the perform
ance of official acts. Gen. Cameron is now in the
same position once occupied by Gen. Jackson.
He is sought to be made judicially responsible
for having faithfully discharged his duty while
Secretary of War. If Pierce Butler can recover
damages for imprisonment, Gen. Buckner or
any of the rebels now in durance vile, can re. 7
cover similar damages, the moment they are set
at . liberty. In feat, the principle could be
prosecuted even further, admitting the claim
of Butler, so as to hold the Secretary of War
accountable for every rebel life that is sacrificed
to the wild passion of rebellion. And if the
principle is established, cabinet officers will be
forced to bear extensive responsibilities as long
as there are traitors in the south and sympa
thising dough-faces in the north.

SOUTHERN BIGHTS.
The talk of wise statesmen in the last cen
tury was of mares rights—"the rights of human
nature." Theirs was a grand philosophic idea.
In these days, unluckily, we are driven to dis
cussing exceptions, provisos and qualifications,
not principles. One is almost warrented in
saying that a sectional right is a general wrong.
The Congress of the United States the other
day, from a sublime scruple,., refused to tax
slaves. A tax is to be levied on the people of
millions of dollars. Every employment, every
investment, the fruit of every branch of skill
and handicraft is to be taxed. Taxes on what
ever a man produces or handles—taxes on what
he eats, drinks and wears---;as Sidney Smith
says, "taxes on the ribbons of the bride, and
the brass nails of the !coffin." But slaves are
exempt—no tax on slaves. They are property
for one class of purposes and persons for
another ; exempt from the liabilities of prop
erty because they are person's; and exempt from
being treated as persons, because they are
property, "like horses and cattle."
Some of the members from the north are
scrupulous about taxing slaves, because to tax
them was to recognize "property in man." It
is about time to recognize slavery as an existing
fact, and deal with it as a reality. Unhappily,
it is no abstraction, but a stubborn, potential
fact. We cannot annihilate it by blinking , or
affecting not to see it, nor by metaphysical re
finements in its discussion. It stares every
public man in the face. It is armed and ar
rayed for the overthrow of the government.
It is in rebellion in ten states, at least, to-day.
The absurd scruple about recognizing slavery
—the actual possession of slave property—is as
ridiculous as the fantasy of Don Quixote in in
sisting that the windmills were giants.
CAPT. DODGE.
A correspondent writes to us recommending
this officer as being eminently worthy to suc
ceed the lamented Col. Murray in the command
of the gallant Eighty-fourth regiment. Capt.
Dodge is well known in this state and the reg
ular army es a most courteous gentleman and
accomplished officer; and we therefore refer to
the recommendation of our correspondent, that
we may have the pleasure of thus testifying in
behalf of the abilities of Capt. Dodge, and also
of repeating the fact that the War Deparment
has almost positively refused to detail regular
officers to command volunteer regiments. Ann
even while we have heretofore recommended
another to the command of the Eighty-fourth,
we would nevertheless as cheerfully hail the
appointment of Capt. Dodge to that position as
we would he whom we first recommended. So
that the service is well supplied, and the dis
cipline and lives of the volunteers are main
tained and guarded by experience I officers, we
can afford to yield our preferences for individ
uals. We repeat, therefore, that the appoint
ment of Capt. Dodge to this command would
not only secure the efficiency of the regiment,
but he would ensure its glory in any action to
which it might hereafter be called.
Pews BROWNLOW, during the delivery of
one of his characteristic speeches in Cincinneti,
declared that the time had arrived to com
mence the hanging of rebels. Powder and
ball were too dignifying in their death influ
ences, while cold steel seemed to send the
traitors into the other world with a sort of eclat
they did not deserve. The devil would more warmly
welcome hie friends, the traitors, if he was permitted
to recognize them by the marks of grope on their necks.
This is just as certain as that there is a devil,
and therefore, in justice to the secessionists, it
is time that the federal authorities commence
banging. Parson Brownlow never uttered a
sublimer truth in stronger language, and we
agree with him as to the time of hanging. • We
would suggest, while the fighting progresses
in the south, that the process of hanging trai
tors commence at the north. As soon as the
government deals in a prompt degree of
sternness with the northern dough-face, aider
and abetter of treason, the southern rascal will
conclude that it 35 ( in earnest in its avowed
determination to crush out rebellion. But as
long as the government permits men to go at
large in the free states, who are suspected, and
who are known to be in league with the
traitors openly engaged in warring against its
authority, those open enemies will fight on;
inferring from this fact that a government
which cannot crush the traitors who surround
it, is also unable successfully to cope with and
conquer those who are armed and entrenched
for its overthrow. We have every reason to
believe that this very idea now animates the
rebel army, and holds thousands of men in the
south in their allegiance to the rebel cause,
simply because it is presumed to be the stronger
and most potential. Dispel this suspicion by
at once visiting the penalties of the violated
law on those within our reach, and the work of
conquest and retribution will successfully pro
gress among those who are supposed to be
beyond our power. Make a few examples in
the loyal states of the individuals who presume
on the leniency of the federal authority, and
the influence will be magical and mighty for
good among those who are openly engaged,
with arms•in their hands, warring against th 4
Union and the Constitution.
Orao has a way of her own in casting slurs
on her sister States, when any of her politi
cians and newspapers are out on a hunt for
power and patronage. We have often noticed
this fact, but attributed it to the excusable
vanity which the Buckeyes entertained, because
they were supposed to inhabit the wealthiest
and most powerful of the western common
wealths. But real comparison and actual facts
now prove that the Buckeyes have more speed
in their legs than strength in their arms, and
that there is more inclination in their heels to
run than courage in their heads to fight. These
facts were proven at the battle of Shiloah Fields,
on which occasion the gallant boys of all the
western states exhibited such indomitable and
unwavering prowess in the fight. The Buckeyes
alone gave way to fear, and fled from the field.
Of course, all the loyal states must hear a pro
portionate share ofthe disgrace thus incurred by
the cowardice of the Buckeyes, and we are all
bound to lend a hand in wiping out the stain.

CrAIL Dick WHITS, EDISTO ISLAND, S. C. }
April 1, 1862.
The fah regiment has met the enemy for
the first time on the soil of South Carolina. On
the morning of the 29th ult. '
the advance of
the rebels attacked our pickets under Lt. Bedell,
of company K, and after a sharp skirmish drove
them in. The enemy, under cover of a dense
fog, advanced to within a few hundred yards of
our headquarters, where several companies and
one cannon were in waiting for them. They,
however, turned to the right and drove our
pickets in off the Russell Creek bridge, which
connects this with Little Edisto Island, and
burnt it after crossing. On the latter island
companies E and F, or our regiment, were sta
tioned doing picket duty, and the intentions of
the enemy were doubtless to cutoff and capture
those two companies. The rebel force consisted
of at least four companies that crossed-Russell
creek, and they immediately advanced on com
pany F, Captain Nesbit, of Indiana county.—
Captain Nesbit was ready to receive them, and
a sharp engagement of at least fifteen minutes
occurred between them. Captain N's men
were entrenched behind an embankment, but
the greater number of the enemy enabled them
to outflank him, and compelled, him to retire,
with the low of one man killed, and several
wounded and prisoners. Among the prisoners
is First Lieutenant M'lllheny. During the
retreat, Captain Nesbit kept up a continual fire
upowthe enemy until he came to a dense woods,
where he awaited another attack. But the
enemy refused to appear. Captain Bennett's
company E, which was upon the acme island,
was in line awaiting an attack, but the enemy
were in ton big a hurry to get off the island.
The whole object of the enemy was to cut
off and capture our picket companies. After
driving in our first picket, a detachment of the
enemy made a hurried advance and surrounded
the house which was formerly the quarters of
Capt. Carroll's Co. A. The exposed position
of the latter company induced Col. White to
remove it to more secure quarters, conse
quently the enemy were foiled in their attempt
to capture it. The plans of tho rebels were
excellently laid, and it was only through the
vigilanc, of our officers and the alacrity and
courage of our men that they ware defeated in
their designs. Lieut. Bedell, of Company 11,
who was in command of the advanced picket,
obstinately disputed every inch of the enemy's
advance, and when he returned to headquar
ters, but fourteen men out of sixteen that were
with him returned, the others being - taken
prisoners. Company ll's pickets, who were
at Russell Creek bridge, only retreated when
an overwhelming force drove them in. They lost
seven prisoners, one of whom was wounded.
Lieut. M'llbenny, who, with eleven men were
taken prisoners, was detached with his men to
hold a position and prevent a flank movement
by the enemy, but the overwhelming numbers
~f the enemy compelled him to succumb rather
than sacrifice the lives of his baud of noble
patriots. Capt. Nesbit, to whose company Lieut.
M'llhenny was attached, deserves the greatest
praise for the noble stand he made against over
whelming numbers of the enemy. As an in
stance of his heroic devotion to his meo, be re
fused to cross Russell, creek to Edisto is l and on
a small raft his men constructed, until every
man was safely carried over. Lieut. Stewart,
his second lieutenant, an excellent swimmer,
superintepded the crossing, remaining several
hours in the water. This gallant company lost
everything they had.
Company G, • Capt. Waterbury, r although
brought immediately in front of the enemy, very
gallantly distinguished themselves, as I am
pleased to say did every other company of the
regiment. The line of battle was formed im
mediately in front of Capt Waterbury's guar.
tern. Several of the captain's men were de
spatched to bring in the picket, who were
skirmishing with the enemy. The detachment
fell in with a lot of rebel cavalry, who were
dispersed by them. The cavalry ingloriously
retreated across the bridge to Jehosse island.
This morning one of Capt. Nesbit's men, who
was taken prisoner, escaped from the rebels and
returned to camp. From his statement, which
I have every reason to believe is reliable, it
appears the rebel loss is very severe. He helped
to carry off the island fifteen dead lxxlies of the
enemy, and quite a number of wounded. The
force brought against us consisted of six com
panies of infantry and one of cavalry. The
force opposite us consists of seven regiments of
infantry, but from their signal defeat in this,
their first aggressive movement upon the Union
troops in this State, the impression is they won't
attempt to make another attack. The following
is a correct list of casnalities sustained :
Cunningham, Company F.
Wounded—John Steffe, Company F, and
prisoner.
Prisoners --Company F,Lient. M'llhenny,Cor
poral Samuel Morehead ; privates, Abram Coy,
Robert H. Kritzer, Samuel Campbell,:Nichola

eon.
Company K—John Sa,upp and Jonas Ritchey
Company H—Sergeant Silas Gollipher, Wal
ter R. Garlinger, Isaac Ream, Christian Whit
taker, John Mars, Thomas Lockard and John
Warning. Twenty-one prisoners and one killed.
Aram 4.—Ever since the first attack the
enemy have been continually
.harrassing us,
driving in our pickets and attempting to sur
round us. Our men have been kept lying upon
their arms forslx days and are nearly exhausted.
They evince a determined spirit to hold on to
the last ; but as I write, reinforcements are
coming up, and to-night our regiment returns
to camp to recuperate. In a few days we hope
to be able to drive the enemy to the main land,
from which place, instead of being annoyed by
them, we hope to be enabled to drive them to
their intrenchments prior to the advance on
Charleston.
To the field and staff officers of the regi
ment is due the greatest credit. They sustained
the men through a week of the greatest trials
they have yet been called upon to endure.—
Details for picket came upon the men with un
usual severity, and the officers vied.with . each
other in rendering all aid by their presence and
encouragement. Col. White was almost con
tinually in the saddle, and I have pleasure in
saying that he has had no necessity to ask his
men to follow him—they are only too anxious
to go where he leads. He • enjoys the respect
and confidence of his men, which are the two
essential qualities to make a command invinci
ble. Major Filber,
the second field officer in
command; was constantly upon duty. It was
under his charge that the pickets acted, and
when it is considered that our main reliance
was in the security of the pickets from capture,
too much credit cannot be awarded to him for
hie judicious management of that part of our
force. He visited the most distant outposts at
all hours of the night, and *xi we were attacked
every night, incurred many risks in his arduous
duty. Lieut. Levi Weaver, jr. of Company G,
was the Major's Adjutant of the picket, and
very honorably acquitted himself.
We are now quietly resting in camp, as re
inforcemeuts have arrived to relieve mt. Our
regiment still et.joys excellent health, with not
a serious case of sickness in the hospital. But
one death from sickness has o ccurre d i n the

........0... --m.
WMUMODO2I, April 19
The act to re-organise and increase the effi
ciency of the medical department of the army,
adds to the present corps ten Surgeons and ten
assistant surgeons, twenty medical cadets and as
many hospital stewards as the Surgeon Gen
eral may consider necessary. The Surgeon
general to be appointed by this law is to
have the rank, pay and emoluments of a Briga
dier General. There is to be one assistant sur
geon general and one medical inspector general
of hospitals, the latter to have supervisional
control of the sanitary condition of the army.
Besides there are to be eight medical inspectors,
charged with the duty of inspecting the sani
tary condition of transports, qdarters, and
camps of the field and general hospitals—the
appointments to ba made by the President,
either kora the regular or volunteer surgeons,
with a sole regard to qualifications.
The act authorizing the Postmaster General
to establish branch post offices in the cities,
prescribes the charge of one cent in addition to
the regular postage for every letter deposited
in any branch post office to be forwarded by
mail from the principal office, which shall be
prepaid by stamp, and one cent fur every letter
delivered at such branch office, to be paid on
delivery.
The naval appropriation bill contains an item
of nearly $BOO,OOO, to ply for and finish the
Stevens' battery, the money not to be expended
unless the Secretary of the Navy is of the opin
ion that the same will secure an efficient steam
battery.
The section appropriating thirteen millions
merely says to enable the Secretary to contract
for iron clad steam vessels of war.
The post office appropriation bill provides a
million for the service of the California Central
route, and repeals the act requiring the post
master General in causing the transportion of
the mails by steamships between the United'
States and any ftlreign ports or between any.of
our own ports touching at foreign ports, to give
preference to American over foreign steamsbips
when departing from the same port for the
same dtstination within three days of each
other.
The Postmaster General is authorised to es
tablish a coast mail, not less than serni-month
ly, by steam, between San Francisco and
Crescent City, California, including service at
the intermediate points provided the sum to
be paid for such service shall not exceed
twenty thousand dollars per aunum.
The President has approved and signed the
above named bills.

in great haste, leaving thirty butchered beeves
on the ground, and doing what he never did
before, burning every small as well as large

The Norfolk Day Book, of yesterday, speaking
of the arrival of M. Mercier at Richmond,
speculates in relation to the object of his mis

significance.
The most probable solution it says is that a

which pieces them beyond the pale of public
