THE UNION-THE CONSHTUTION-AND
THE ENFOIIONIIENT OF THE LAW.
HARRISBURG, PA
Monday Afternoon, May 12, 1862.
TER BOUM= TRAITORS call all southern
Union men " Black - Republicans and Abolition
ists," while the northern doughface is equally
as malignant when he denounces a Black Re
publican and Abolitionist, became they are in
favor of crushing rebellion with the weapons
of war. There is something singular in the
harmony of sentiment between the rebels and
the doughfaces. They agree on every point
but courage. Our doughface is subject to rheu
matism when fight is near. He shrinks from
danger, but has a happy liking for the emolu
manta and sinecures of war. The southern
traitor, on the other hand, will fight if there is
no chance to run.
Ir wx )11&t judge from the tone and prefer-
ence as indicated in the columns of the Repub
lican press throughout Pennsylvania, Hon.
Thomas E. Cochran, Auditor General of the
state, has at least now the approbation of the
party which placed him in position. Our Re
publican exchanges unite in acknowledging the
eminent services of the Auditor General at this
time, while there seems to be no difference es
to the justice and necessity of his renomination.
We have no preference so far as we are profes
sionally concerned, yet we would be unmindful
of what is due to a fearless and honest public
officer, if we hesitated to accord to Auditor
General Cochran all that is so liberally coneed
sel to him by our cotemparies of the Republican
press. His untiring devotion to the public in
terest—his unfailing watchfulness of the public
monies, and his strict ,integrity, all combine
to render him truly one of the most efficient
Auditors that has ever attempted to audit an
account, and one of the most reliable men that
has ever been entrusted with the public credit.
THE KENTUORY SENATOR, Davis, doubtless
considers that it is his particular duty to assail
General Cameron, as he has made it his plea
sure, during his present Senatorial career, to
attack every loyal man not willing to pay tri
bute to or sing anthems in praise of slavery.
But Senator Davis mistakes the knowledge and
capacity of the late Secretary of War, who was
not "ignorant of everything connected with
the Department" when he (Gen. Cameron)
sent loyal Pennsylvanians into Kentucky, be
cause such men as Senator Davis were not ca
pable of defending the soil of that state. The
loyal men of this country owe Senator Davis
nothing ; nor is he regarded by the masses in
the north as much better than the traitor Da
vis. He professes to be loyal, and yet he lets
no opportunity pass to insult the government
and traduce the character and reputation of
his superiors. He is nothing more or less than
a diminutive specimen of the relics of slavery,
infused with a classic education, and imbued
with that haughty spirit of conceit to all that
pertains to tie- south, which never fails to
make such men either oblivious to patriots or
ridiculous In the sight of gentlemen of common
sense and decency. Thank God, that the in
fluence of such meo is on the wane.
HON. EDWARD McPar.aeos has placed us under
obligations for: several documentary favors,
among them a speech which he recently deliv
ered in the House of Representatives, on the
subject of .Ths Rebellion: Our Relations and Duties
We doubt if there is a man in Congress who
has devoted himself more seriously to our rela
tions, the rebellion and our duties in the crisis,
than Edward McPherson. He is a sincere,
'earnest, conscientious and liberal-minded states
man, entertaining "the most comprehensive
views on the topic he discusses, and fully in
formed of its facts and influet.ces. If our lim
ited space did not forbid the attempt, we should
be pleased to print this brilliant speech in full,
but we must content ourselves with printing
only the concluding paragraph as a specimen of
its powerful eloquence :
We will wage this war, [days Mr. McPherson.]
while there id a patriot to strike or a toe to fall.
We will, at every sacrifice, maintain our na
tional unity, territorial integrity, and undivided
sovereignty. To lose either w uld be to invite
dishonor and complications numberless and
fearful ; to yield evecy glorious tradition, hope,
and duty ; to strengthen despotism, and cover
ourselves with reproa, h and posterity wish woe.
To avert these calamities, which would be in
evitable, and others which cannot be antici
pated, and to preserve 'untarnished and un
harmed, ad it passes through the fiery furnace
of trial, that splendid organization of civi ,
social, and political blessings wh ich our fathers,
eighty years ago, created and fashioned, adopted
and tr omitted, a legacy of priceless value and
peerless beauty, are the holy and overmastering
duties d. volviug, under God, upon the Execu
tive, us legislators, and the brave thousands in
arms, all aided and sustained by the firm fidel
ity of the loyal citizens of the nation. Sir; this
work will be attended by startling events,
whose strangeness will be lost in their deep sig
nificance. • It will involve sacrifices, privations
and suffering. It will present difficulties which
patient courage can alone surmount. It will
demand the exercise of every high, and" rare.
and manly virtue. But this fair inheritance
shall be saved from di: jointure or demolition,
and this people, rising to the stature of true
heroism, will inscribe their name, in characters
of blood, upon the eternal tablets cat history, as
the brave,aod devoted, and successful defenders
of republican constitutional government.
Ths Ohio Legislature refused to pass a law,
allowing the troops of that State to vote while
at the seat of war.
LEY US BE ON OUR . GUARD
As the downfall of the rebellion approaches,
and as the shock of each charge of our advance'
lug armies sounds the death knell of treason, we
are reminded of other foes, equally as malicions
though not as gallant, who are arranging their
plans for a systematic attack on the govern
ment, and an effort, if possible, to organize a
another rebellion in the north. With these
men, the resolution-to destroy this government
became part of their hope of living, the moment
they discovered that the sentiment of the peo
ple was against slavery, so that it is immaterial
whether they effect this destruction by the in
fluence of the armed rebels of the south, or the
force of excited and exasperated mobs in the
north. The plan which these men put in ope
ration to arouse the south, was the constant
declaration that the north was approximating
to abolitionism, when such a condition of affairs
was the most foreign either to the sentiments
or the desires of the northern people. But it
suited the dough-face Democracy to use these
exaggerations, as capable of exciting the people
of the south, until it was dangerous for a north
ern man to travel in that locality, dangerous
even for a dough-face to make such a journey,
unless he carried on his person the outward
signs and marks of a .11iAt of the Golden Circle.
The object of the modern northern Democrat,
in thus arraying the people of the south against
a portion of the people of the north, was of the
most selfish political character. The leaders of
the Democratic party arranged their alliances
with the southern politician,without attempting
to make such an association beneficial to the free
states. All the greatmeasures • of the north and
the west were abrogated by these leaders, or,
when they could not smother them, they were
assailed as fanatical, sectional and impractica
ble. Thus, the Homestead was opposed as un
reasonable—tbe Tariff was denounced as unjust
—free soil was assailed as fanatical—while every
measure calculated for the real benefit of the
country, was seized by the northern Democrat,
opposed by the cliques which he led, until the
masses of the south were induced to believe that
every other policy but that which sought the
spread and increase of slavery, was devised as
a direct blow at the interests of that institution.
It is scarcely to be wondered at that the ignor
ant masses of the south were misled by such
misrepresentations, nor is it less to be wondered
at that they arrayed themselves in rebellion,
when they bad assurances of assistance from
the same class of men. Every man in the
north who was hasty in denouncing an oppo
nent of slavery as an abolitionist, was equally
impatient to render the southern rebels assist
ance. Had the traitors marched on Washing
ton one year ago, possessed themselves of the
public buildings and proclaimed that city the
capital of the Confederacy, the act would have
been hailed in the north, by the journals which
first gave encouragement to the rebellion by
proclaiming the abolitionism of those who re
fused to recognize slavery either in a social or
a political right. _
As the northern dough-face Democracy incited
the slaveholders of the south to the rebellion
in which they are now .engaged, they are also
employed in inciting the people of the north to
a similar rebellion. It is now one of the main
objects of the sympathizers with the slaveholders re
bellion to organize the elements of rebellion in the north.
If they succeed in this, they will .add new life
and vigor to the rebellion in the south, and
increase their first hopes of eventually destroy
ing the American Union. The means used to
organize a northern rebellion, are the most in
flammatory appeals to the people on the subject
of taxation, with allegations that the millions
used to put down the slaveholder's rebellion,
were attracted into the pockets of speculators
and thieves. If such journals as the Patriot can
create such impressions among the masses of the
people, and if the falsehood can be fastened on
the public mind that the expenses of this war
went into the pockets of speculators, then have
the dough-faces accomplished as much as they
did when they misled the south on the charge
that all men in the north who opposed slavery
were abolitionists. By. such misrepresentations
the leaders of the northern Democracy hope to
' create their northern rebellion. A refusal to
pay the national taxes is what they aim at,
while it is even now asserted by those who know,
that the Democratic leaders in this state are
attempting to win ignorant .
,and interested
people to their support by the promise that, if
the Democratic party is placed in the ascen
dancy, the taxes to defray the war debt will be
repudiated. They first asserted that the war
was coercion—next these, leaders took the posi
tion that it was' inhuman 'now they exceed
their past acts and declarations by assuming
that the war debt shbuld be repudiated, and
advising a resistance to taxation as justifiable of
that end.
In such a condition of affairs, we warn tkje
peeple to be on their guard. We warn the
people narrowly to, watch those who are thus
attempting to prejudice the interests of the
goveroment by proclaiming against taxtion.
T hey are the same men who opposed the re
inforcement of the gallant defenders of Fort
Sumter— the same who applauded the mobs of
Baltimore, and the same who resisted the sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus. Pretext
and principle are the same with these wretches,
so that the end of their purpose is, subserved.
It is immaterial with them whether they gain
power by the passion of a' slave holders' re
bellion or the force of en anti-tax riot What
they desire is Power—and what they miss is
the opportunity to plunder. Let the masses
then be on their guard. Let them watch those
who appeal to them on the subject of taxation.
It is, only another pretext to afford the rebels
assistance by impairing the confidence of the
people in the government. Itis the last dodge
of the Democratic party to gain power by in
ducing
the people to lend their aid in repudia
ting debts incurred to rescue the county from
the danger into wht.ch it was plunged by the
influence of Democratic administrations.
The Pacific Railroad bill of the House has
been considered by the Senate Committee, and
agreed to without amendment. It will be re
ported—probably this morning —and, we judge,
- •
passed. The friends of the measure are gene
t ally resolved that it shall riot be defeated ra
postponed on account of any local differences or
beartburnings, but passed at this session.

Mammas, May 12.
The Old Point boat has arrived, bringing the
following details of event at Norfolk:
NORFOLK, May 11, B o'clock P. —General
Wool has just entered the city, in company with
the Mayor, W. W. Lamb, and a committee
of the city government. The last of the rebel
troops left this morning. and the city was left,
by Gen. Huger, in care of the Mayor as repre
sentative of the civil power on the approach of
our troops.
The mayor went with a flag of- truce to the
city limits, and arrangements were soon made
between the Mayor and General Wool that the
city should be given up on the promise of
General Wool that private property should • be
respected. During the march on Norfolk three
regimental cavalry camps were found deserted
apparently only a day or two since.
Gen. Weber's regiment, New York 20th,
was advanced on the landing to reconnoitre,
some six miles from the beach , at the halfway
house, so called, bound a place whh.h had been
prepared with considerable care for a battle
field. The trees and bushes had been felled
and rifle pits built and early in the morning
it was ascertained that several guns were I
vaced in_ position.
At this , point some recruits of the. 41st Vir
ginia regiment were captured. They reported
that Sewall's Point had been abandoned on the
prec,edieg night by four companies, which had
been garrisoned in the place some weeks past.
A negro was also captured, at this place, who
stated that it was the intention of the rebels
to destroy the bridge over Tanner's creek, and
then evacuate Norfolk. Part of Max Weber's
regiment was pushed forward on the road to
the bridge, and the enemy was found at about
noon posted on the opposite side of Tanner's
Creek with three guns ; the bridge had
been set on fire, and was still burning at
that time. Some six or eight shots were
fired without effect, and our men being
without musket range did not reply. The
creek being atria a quarter of a mile long, ouy
Wee was withdrawn and started on another
road, considerable longer and reported to be
defended by a strong battery ; not the slightest
opposition was made, and the fortifications
which were a mile and a half (row NorfOlk,were
toned to have been evacuated after spiking the
guns. They, were extensive, works and finely
constructed. We arrived at Norfolk after a
tiresome march, at five o'clock, without firing
a gun, and found that.the whole rebel force had
departed, the last of them haying left this
morning.
Mayor Lanai)
. with a committee of the city
authorities having been authorized for the
purpose, met Gen. Wool with a flag of truce
at the city limits, and after a brief consultation
the city was surrendered to the 'United States
forces.
Gen. Wool then, proceeded to the City Hall
in - company with the Mayor, and followed by
a large crowd, where he issued the following
proclamation:
HEAD QUANTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT

Major General.,
Gen. Viele immediately appointed M. B. B
Davis, his military secretary.
The very first parties who entered the city
were four newsptsger correspondents.
Gen Wool returned to his camp outside the
city and probably Fortress Monroe to-night.
After the departure of- Gen. Wool several
thousand pmsona assembled near the City Hail
to. bear a speech from the Mayor. He seemed
to be very popular. He said in substance that
in his negotiations with Gen. Wool he had
secured a pledge for the protection of private
property and the safe continuance of all private
business.
The Gosport navy yard and public property
was burned by the enemy together with moat
IA the steamboats and rither vessels in Eliza
beth river. The conflagration affordeded a
brilliant spectacle which continued all the
evening.
The people are in a great state of excite

committed. Confidence in the Government

FouTaxa Mozazoz, May 11
At four o'clock this morning a bright light
was observed from Fortress Monroe in the di
.reetion of Oral:key-Wand, which was supposed
at first to be a signal of some - description from
the steamer Merrimac. Precisely at half past
four o'clock an explosion took place which
made the earth and water 'tremble for miles
around. • In the midst of the bright
flames, which shot up through the distant blaze,
the timbers and iron of a monster steamer could
be seen flying through the air, and no doubt
was entertained that 'the veritable Merrimac
had ceased to
Flag officer Goldeborough, on receiving this
report, ordered two armed naval tugs, the
Zouave and Dragoon, to proceed towards Craney
island to make a reconnoissance and ascertain
the truth of the rumor. Immediately after
they had turned the point, the Monitor and F.
A. Stevens stearne.i up in the same direction,
followed by the San Jacinto, Susquehanna,
Moutat Verrion;Seminele'dad Docotah. It was
a most beautiful sight, and attract, d throngs of
spectators along the whole line of Old Point.
Some.were disposed to diecredit the announce
ment that the Merrimac had been destroyed,
and as they pae•sed up towacis Clancy Island,
the excitement became intense.
In the meantime two tug boats were seen
coming towards Fortress Monroe et full speed,
each apparently endeavorine to outvie the other,
and when n'earinetbit 'wharf 'the radi ,rit coun
tenance of Capt. Case, of the Minnesota, gave
assurance that the: news they brought was of
the most gratifying character. The report was
true. He had met parts of the floating wreck,
and all the earthworks of the enemy were to be
abandoned, though the rebel flag was still fly
ing. '
Lieut. Selfridge from the Dragon had landed
with an armed crew and taken down the rebel
flag, substituting the stars and stripes amid
the hearty cheering of the crew.
Capt. Cage immediately reported the fact to
the President and Secretary of War, who re
ceived the confirmation of the report of the
picket boats with great satisfaction.
At the request of the President, Capt. Case
immediately proceeded to Craney island to as
certain if the works were evacuated, in compa
ny with_the fleet which was then advancing.
Your correspondent, with Mr Pavel, of the
New York Ilefald, and the paymaster of the
gallant little Zuuave, Capt. Phil ipe, which
fitzured so nobly in the fight with the Merrimac
on her first appearance were courteously invitt d
to accompany him on the expedition. We were
soon on the way and in a short time overtook
and passed all the :vessels of war that had
started in advance of us, except the Monitor
and Naugatuck, which were moving ah ad on
their, way to Norfolk. Hiving passed by Sew
ell's Point and Craney Island as we united
Craoey Island we found this immense fortress
apparently,abandoued, though three rebel flags
were floating •from very tall flagstaffs at differ
ent parts 'of -the works.:: •
Capt. Case when within a half mile of the
shore ordered a shot to be fired to teat the fact
of the evacuation. ' The only signs of life that
the shell produced•wus the appearance of two
negro men on the shore. A boat was immedi
ately ordered off, and through the courtesy of
the commander, I participated in the honor of
lowering ; the rebel etublem substituting the
pride of . America in its place.
Commandant Cabe was the first loyal man that
pressed his foot on the soil of this treasonable
stronghold without a thought of torpedo or in
fernal machines.
The gallant commandant rushed to the flag
staff, and the halyards being in good order the
old flag was soon given to the breeze.
The FOE ts on the Island are in four or five
separate'sections, constructed with the best en
gineering skill, arid of the most admirable
workmanship. They were left in admirable
.condition and in haste, as were also the exten
arive barracks which had accommodated during
the winter a garri&on of over 4,000 men. There
were supplies of ammunition on the sheds neat
each of the forty heavy guns mounted in dii
ferent parts of the works—or/the main point of
the island, commanding the approach and to
the river channel. The works were casemated.
Many of the encasements were finished, in each
of which were nine or ten inch guns,
Dahlgrens, and the work of erecting five
more were in progress at the time of the t..v 1-
citation, in (Ifni of which a gum as mounted.
The fort at the head of th , kdit,d called the
Citadel was not casewatel but rnounttd with
five heavy euns. The whole Dumber of guns
mounted was thirty-nine, of which two were
Parrotts and a number of rifled Dahlgreens ;,also
about six guns in the works that had not yet
been mounted. None of them had been re
moved. After spending an hour on the island
we proceeded towards Norfolk. Immediately
at the upper point of the island was found a
mass of blackened wreck floating on the water,
some of it proceeding from the sunken portions
of vessels.
We had also passed large quantities of float
ing timber on our way up, all of which have
been torn and rendered into splinters.
' From the men found on the Island we ascer
tained that the Merriman had laid during Sat
urday at a point neatly a mile below the posi
tion at which thelragments were observed.
During the night however, she had been
brought back and run ashore. Her entire
officers and crew were landed on the island and
a slow match applied to the magazines. She
was blown to fragments by the time the crew
were out of reach of the falling fragments.
The ncgrops state that the officers anti crew
passed through the adjoining country on the
mainland about eight o'clock i n th e 'o p i ni ng
to the number of over 200. They said they
were on their way to Suffolk.

NEAR FARMINGTON, May 9.—Maj. Geri. Hal
leck The enemy, 20,000 strong, drove in our
pickets beyond Farmington, and advanced
agait.st the brigade, occupying the farther
sine of the creek in fr int of my camp.
The brigade held on for five hours, until
it was heavily pressed in front and on the flank,
and that I could not sustain them without
passing the creek with my whole force, which
was contrary to your orders, and would have
brouTht on a general engagement, I withdrew
to this aide in gond order.
The.Oonduct of the troops was excellent, and
the withdrawal was made by them very re.
lnctantly. The enemy made a demonstration
to cross but abandoned the movement.
