Saturday Morning, May 11,1862.
'Tao CIiWWI Deux Mille, like the people of
Ohio generally, can see no attraction in any one
but those of its own breed, and unless the
Buck Eye state is permitted to monopolize
whatever of good and glory there are in every
penional or political movement, its journalists
and its citizens pretend to be outraged with
what they call the frauds and the wrongs of ouch
movements. We can understand the motives
which prompt men to such feelings, when we
fairly understand the people thus conducting
themselves. And we can therefore understand
the malignity with which the Times attacks an
absent American citizen, abroad on a mission
of high trust in the service of hie country. We
can understand why the Times first admits that
the statements which Gen. Cameron made in
his own defence were true—that the facts and
figures which he presented were based on tbe
record and founded In the actual transactions
of those to whom be referred in that defence—
but we cannot understand any man who la suffi
ciently inconsistent to declare that there was
no necessity of such a defence. No necessity,
forsooth, for a gentleman to defend his fair
fame, when it was assailed by a pack of disap
pointed speculators and a horde of wretches who
have either lived by their lies or existed on
their frauds I There might have been no
necessity in the estimation of a guilty man, or
a coward ; but in the case of an innocent gentle
man and brave man, finch a defence is always
promptly made, while the assassins are within
reach, and when the slanderer ocouplea a posi
tion in which it will justify a respectable man
to approach and notice him. Perhaps General
Cameron might have waited patiently until
these slanders with their authors would have
met their fate of contempt and disgrace. But
be thought otherwise. He met and exploded
every charge, and his friends have now a double
satisfaction of knowing that the only people
displeased with that defence are those on whom
its reproofs and sarcasm fall with the most
withering effect.
SINIIOII. Pownt, of Kentucky, whom his col
league wished to have expelled for treason, has
been highly incensed because the Secretary of
State is accused of having behaved rudely to a
delegation of Kentucky great men. Powell
reports that Seward actually said teen the wise
acres (who had doubtless been boring him with
their Kentucky notions of what the govern
rhelit ought to do, for an hour or two, in the
manner, of Davis's late bullying speech in the
Senate,) that "he didn't care a d—n for Ken
tucky, and that he meant to hold her in the
Uulon at any rate." The report, we presume,
misrepresents the interview, especially in re
spect to the profanity of the language, which
sounds more like Powell than Seward; but we
trust the substance of it is true, and we hope
further, that, the government means to act in
the spirit of the speech. Too mitch deference
has been sh,wn,from the beginning of the war,
to the opidons of these more than half seces
sionista of the bo:der states ; they have pre
sumed upon it to dictate the polity of the ad
ministration ; and it is time to let them under
stand that not the "neutral friends" of the
Union, but the whole soulei unconditional
Unionists, are the men who will bring the war
to a dose. Robert Brebkinridge, in his sermon
the other .day,spok,e a timely word when he told
his Kentucky friends to remember that but for
the hundred thousand soldiers of the free states,
Kentucky would, now be weltering in the de
gredation and misery of secession. They saved
the state item utter ruin, when it own timid
citizens were flying to the camps of the enemy,
ort looking on with craven indifference ; and it
.4 6 , ..5 become the trimmers to take on airs
as tore. For the genuine loyalists of
. 3 , eta e government and the nation has a
bigh rape • ,° to the politicians who are
loyal only because loyalty is the strong side.—
Mr. &ward assumed the proper tone.
Wa mem attention to the communication
in another column, recomfitending Theodore
Adams, Esq., as a candidate for Congress in this
district, subject to the nomination of such
conferees as the people may hereafter indicate .
While we thui freely yield our columns to the
friends of the gentlemen who may be thus
brought forward as candidates for public posi
tions, we must reiterate our resolution to exact
pay for these . announcements .according as we
charge for all other advertl.ements. The com
munication in reference to Mr. Adams is justly
written, and expresses only a fair estimate of
that gentleman's character and abilities.
ORR rRISZID GOODRICH, of the Bradford Re
portar, will please recall the credit which he
has given to the Columbia Democrat, for certain
&Nelms and just compliments to Hon. David
Wilmot, and place the same to the account of
the TILIGIRAPIL Our opinion of Uthl brave;
Senator is too exalted to allow of any of our
(*temporaries to do more than use it in our
own name. Doubtless the Drat uninten-c
timidly omitted to give us credit when it I
quoted our paragraph ; but it is not too late to
let Senator Wilmot know who are his friends.
Grxisua ItioCLELtaat's dispatches to the Se

which yenta to partake of the stirring activity
of

GOLDEN OPINIONS
The public officer who can elicit the ap
proval of the press or the people at a time
when criticism and condemnation seem to be
the only reward of those who serve their coun
try, faithfully, must have a peculiar attraction
and must also be rendering the most important
service. • In this respect Hon. John A. Hasson,
First Assistant Postmaster General, is winning
golden opinions among the people and the
press of the country. To quote , all. these ex
pressions of good will and commendation,
would occupy more space than we could afford
to devote in the present crowded state of our
columns. Therefore we content ourselves with
reprinting only the following from the Crawford
Journal, one of the ablest and most consistent
Republican journals in the country. Some of
its graceful compliments to Mr. Hasson might
well be returned to the editor of that journal,
who is himself among the most virtuous and
reliable men of our acquaintance :
Hos. Joss A. Krises.—Amongst the -• many
accomplished who have been called into position
and surround this preeent indefatigable Post
Master General, none stand more prominent
nor have gained more popularity in the dis
charge of their varied duties than Hon. John
A. Hasson, First Assistant in that Department.
He is bleesed with a prepossessiog. appearance,
polished manners and gentlemanly demeanor,
and the courtesy with which he attends to the
innumerable, and, to the casual Observor, vex
atious, applications and intrusions upon his
time and patience, is the subject of general re
mark. ever at his post; end poeaessed of an
extraordinary 'ability for liusinetwand a com
prehensive knowledge of the complicated ilia
thinery of post office affairs, he is enabled to
dispatchhtedness with a degree of ease to him
self which seems incredible. Few men of hts
age can be found who can fill his position and
discharge its duties with the same advantage to
the Government. He is withal an ardent Re
publican and was amongst the most active in
the nomination of President Lincoln, and his
election. He Is, therefore, as might be ex
pecte, an enthusiastic supporter of hie admin
istration—tmcompromising in, his hostility to
traitors at home and rebels in the field. The
future of Mr. Hasson is fall of promise. He is
destined to fill a larger space in the political
arena, one which we hope will be a wider field
for his varied acquirements—none which can ,
however, reflect more credit upon him nor his
capacity. But we trust it will be less arduous
and more remunerative,
Tne.Huarrnonos Owns must have had our
gracious neighbors of the Patriot and Union in
view when it announces the fact of receiving
several papers claiming to be Democratic, that
are continually scolding about the high taxes
necessary to pay the expenses of the war.
These papers never hint to their readers the
assistance they gave the /3reckenridge leading
Disunionists in lorcizg upon the country the
evils they now complinn of. Had- there been
no secession feeling and action in the Charles
ton and Baltimore conventions by northern
Democrats, we do not believe there would have
been any secession of etatee -- any rebellion.
The Breckenridge wing of the Democratic
party gave "aid and comfort'.' to the traitors
aonth, during the Presidential campaign, and
the leaders are still upon the same fence claim
ing to be Union men, but ready to jump off on
the other aide shoul& they ever see a safe op
portunity to do so. Opposition to the war tax
Is opposition to the war for tho prcaurvation of
the Union. The ,man who is opposed to the
one is opposed to the other, and is at heart a
traitor to his country. Thousands of Demo
crats who were deceived Into the support of
Breckenridge Democracy two years ago, will
not be caught in the same boat a second time.
The managers of the party In '6O must and will
be forced to take a back seat In all future cam-
Paigull•
—This is the spirit displayed by the real De
mocracy all over the loyal states, and the Globe
evinces its courage by thug openly giving ut
terance to its convictions on the subject.
There can no longer be any doubt that thou
sands of Democrats were deceived into the sup
port of the traitor Breckenridge; deceived by
the leading men of that clique in the free states,
who fairly understood the effect of nominating
Breckenridge. It will not be many months
before this fact will be developed and estab
lished. It will come before the public in the
first trial of any of the leading rebels for trea
son, when the proof will be adduced that the
leaders of the party in the north which sup
ported Breckeoridge, were cognisant of the trea
son which the nomination of Breckenridge was
designed to promote. Jeff. Davis himself has
declared almost as much as this, when he re
preached his New York and Pennsylvania
friends for failing to come to his rescue as they
had promised. There is history as well as in
famy in this declaration, and we shall continue
to believe that the moat prominent and persist
ent leaders of the northern Breckenridge clique,
were fairly identified with the organization, as
the southern leaders of the same party were
and are the upholders of rebellion. Time will
prove this as it does all things, and therefore
we must only be patient for the denouement.
nill as•T APPPSIKINSION of the Democratic
leaders seems to be that the slaves at the south
are about to be emancipated, and will overrun
the north. The free negro population of the
north, according to the last census ls 222,745,
and of the slave states 269,078, being an in
crease of 68,667 in the slave states. Now if
there be such danger of emancipated slaves over
running the north, why have the 259,078 free
negroes above named remained at the south
many states the most stringent laws have
been enacted for driving them out—even re
duciog them to slavery in some instances, and
yet they have refused to come north.r. The
reason is that a warm climate is natural. to the
negro, and be will remain in it if possible, and
seek it if permitted. There is more proba
bility of free negroes going south if slavery is
done away, than coming north.. •
Os the 26th of August, the one thoneandtb
anniversary of the Empire of Brunie, the goy
tirument will be declared changed from an
autocratic to :a ixmatitational form. The Grand
Puke Constantine is the initiator of this move

the plan.

Thursday, iday 8, 1862.
Mr. Enema—At last we have had a battle with
the enemy, and thank God I am safe and un
hurt On laat Saturday morning we were or
dered to march front Nashville, on shortnotice,
the call "to horse," sounding at two o'clock in
the morning, being the first intimation we bad
of our services being required. In a very short
time we were mounted and moving 'towards
this place in "quick time," where we arrived
shortly after noon, the distance being thirty-two
or three miles. We hero learned that the
notorious Colonel Morgan, by the rebels styled
the "Marion of the South," wasin motion with
a heavy column, moving toward this place.
Sunday morning we moved toward Shelbyville
for the purpose of intercepting him. As Geo.
Burnout, with Gen. Duffield's brigade, (to
which is attached the third battalion of our
regiment,) suppotted by the fourth Kentucky
cavalry,was in his rear, pursuing him toward
this point. Col. Morganllearning, however,.
biaome means, thet we; avers in considerable
force, moved to tit* rigl4 and-destroyed thiS
communication with Nashville, by tearing up
the tallroad and cutting the telegraph ; he also
burned a lot of cotton, all of which he accom
plished within eight miles of this place.
After moving down the Shelbyville pike,
about ten miles, we met :the General and 4th
Kentucky cavalry, and finding Morgan had
slipped by us, all returned to Murfesborough.
The let Kentucky cavalry, .however, having
been sent out on a scout in the morning, struck
the trail of the enemy and followed it rapidly
all day. We returned, as I remarked, with the
General, arriving here about 'four o'clock; P.
N. After resting about halt an hour. we
mounted again and started toward Lebanon,
headed by the General and followed by the 4th
Kentucky. Aboutsix miles from town we met
the Ist Kentucky, CoL Wilford, and • learned
from him that the enemy was rapidly retreat
ing toward Lebanon. The General then order
ed Col. Wolford to countermarch and fall in
the rear of the 4th Kentucky, Col. Smith.—
We led the advance. By "we," I mean com
pany D. Capt. Borrit, company E , Capt. Shaffer,
and company K, baptain May. At the trot we
pursued them until about one o'clock on Mon
day morning, when we halted about five miles
from Lebanon ; seated in our saddles we there
waited the approach of day. From our spies
we learned that Morgan' was in town with a
force which the General informed me number
ed eight hundred men all mounted. Just be
fore daylight the General ordered the advance,
our companies leading, followed by two com
panies of the 2d battalion of our regiment and
the 4th and sth Kentucky. Two miles from
the town we commenced chasing, in their pick
ets ; at a thunderitig charge the column pur
sued them, and, moved on the town. Friem
some cause the other regiments did not keep
close in our rear, but fell a short distance be
hind. Into the town we charged, however,
the enemy opening a heavy fire from houses,
stables, streets, alleys and all other quarters.
We charged through town, against ri'company
drawn up across the street, scattered them,
pursued them a couple of hundred yards and
halted to receive orders. None came. 'the
General had been taken prisoner, a number of
our men had fallen killed and wounded, the
8d battallion was apparently repulsed, and the,
Kentucky regiments were juA entering the
town. The Colonel (Wynkoop) ordered al
"right counter-march," we wheeled, charged
again through town, under a firo much more
heavy than before; every house seemed to
belch fire on us. The General here joined us
again, having escaped in the confusion occa
sioned by our second charge. He immediately
erdered the 4th Kentucky to charge up to the
square, and fire a volley on the enemy then
posted in force in and around the court house ;
they did so, and we were then ordered to move
around the town so as to intercept the enemy;
by this time breaking in force toward the river
on the right of the town. The Ist Kentucky
having been ordered to charge around the
other side of the town and set them in motion,
we moved up a narrow street led by the Gen
end and Colonel to where it intersected the
road along which the enemy were to pass in
order to effect their escape or return to prevent
being totally cut off. We were in position and
saw them coming along the head of our col
umn and were ready to open such a fire as
must cut them to pieces, when the General or
dered us not to fire, he mistaking them for Cul.
Wynkoop's regiment. It was not until nearly
all had passed, that we saw who they were, and
opened on them, charging on them at the same
I time. Then commenced the pursuit, the en
emy running as never Morgan's men ran be
fore, we alter them ohargiog on their rear,
taking dozens at a time prisoners. The Gen
eral ordered us to pursue them with shouts for
the Union as far as any were to be seen. We
followed at a dead run for twenty miles, took
all their horses, arms, baggage and mules, and
taking upwards of a hundred prisoners, but
eight of that body escaped by crossing the
Cumberland river at Carthage; we fired on
them as they scrambled up the bank, after
being forded over, and killed or wounded one;
we then returned to Lebanon, where, during
the pursuit, a fight had continued until the
forces threatened to burn the town unless they
a rrendered, which they did. Our fumes then
took forty more prisoners. In town the battle
lasted about twenty minutes. Uncle Sam's
boys took one Lieutenant Colonel, sixteen offi
cers, and nearly two hundred non-cximmis
eioned officers and priv item prisoners, a large
number of horses and mules and I have no idea
of the number of arms and equipments. We
killed one Captain, two or three -Lieutenants
and about thirty men.
Federal loss ten killed and perhaps twenty
wounded. Our regiment four killed, our com
pany one killed, (Corporal M,Graud,) Lieuten
ant Taylor, slightly wounded, and two prison
ers, (who have just returned on parole,) Major
Given, of our regiment was taken prisoner and
has not been beard of.
Sergeant Long had his horse shot under him.
Capts. Oberuulteer, Ili& and Baker were with
us and not hurt ; 11008 of the other boys were
with us. There is no back out in the White
Hall boys. All behaved most gallantly.
We may have another fight again soon.

Speeches of Mr. Lincoln.
•
The President received a deputation from the
General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church, on Tuesday, and In reply to ad address
of iiev. Dr. Pohlman spoke as followe:
"Gentlemen: I welcome here the representa
tives of the Evangelical Lutherans of the Unit
ed States. I accept with gratitude their assur
ances of the sympathy and support of that en
lightened, influential and loyal class of my fel
low-citisens in an important crisis, which in
volves, in my judgment, not only the civil and
religious liberty of our own dear land, but in a
large degree the civil and 'religions liberties of
mankind in many countries and through many
ages. Yon well know, gentlemen, and the
world knows, how reluctantly I accepted this
issue of battle forced upon me, on my advent to
this place, by the internal enemies of our COlll3-
try. You all know, the world knows, the for ,
mai and the reeonrces the public agents have
brought into employment to sustain a govern
ment against which there has been brought not
one complaint of real injury committed against
society, at home or' abroad. "You all may re
collectlhat in taking up tlitisword thus foreed
into uur hands this government appealed to
the prayers of the pious and the good, and de
dared that it places its whole dependence upon
the favor of God. I now humbly and reverent
ly, in your presence, reiterate _the acknowledg
ment of tied dependence, nQt doubling that,
if it shall please the Divine Being who deter
mines the destinies of nations that this shall re
main a united people, they will, humbly seek
ing the Divine guidance, make _ their prolonged
national existence a source of 'mew benefits to
themselves and their 613CC0N30111, and to all
classes and conditions of mankind."
The following were the Piesident's remarks
at the farewell visit of the Indiana Twelfth re
giment, a brief account of which has been given
in our dispatches:
" Soldiers of the Twelfth Indiana regiment !
It hag not been customary heretofore, nor will
it be hereafter for me .to say something to
every regiment passing in review. It occurs
too frequently for me to have speeches ready
on all occasions. As you have paid such a
mark of respect to the Chief Magistrate, it ap
pears proper that I should say a word or two in
reply.
4 . Your Colonel has thought fit, on his own
account and in your name, to say that you are
satisfied with the manner in which I have per
formed my part In the difftulties which you have
surrounded the nation. For your kind expres
sions I am extremely grateful, but; on the
otber band, I assure you that the nation is
more ludebted to you, and such as you, than
me. It is upon the brave hearts and strong
arms of the people of the country that our re-
Hance has been placed in support of free gov
ernment and free institutions.
" For the part that you and the brave army
of which you are a part have, ender Providence,
performed in this great struggle, I tender more
thanks—greatest thanks that can be possibly
due—and especially to this regiment, which
has been the subject of good report. The
thanks of the nation will follow you, and may
God's bleesiog rest upon you now and forever.
I hope that upon your return to your homes
you will find your friends and loved ones ivell
and happy. I bid you farewell."
For Congress—Theodore Adams.
Editor of the Perneyitarda Telegraph.)
I noticed in the columns of the TELEGRAPH,
some days since, a suggestion made in retetence
to a distinguished citizen of this city, connect
log his name with the nomination as Repre
sentative from this Congressional district
Should that gentleman be nominated, I will
support him with all my force ; but in the
meantime I dezire to bring before the people
the name of another individual, in all respects
eminently qualified to represent this district in
Congress. He is an old citizen of Dauphin
County, " to the manor born," although he has
spent much of his time in different localities, in
business always of a character demanding the
Strictest care and moat sagacious attention.
For several years his business has kept him in
the city of Washington, where his assooiat'ona
led him largely into an acquaintance with the
most prominent statesmen and legislators of
the times. In such aesociation he was of
course able to gather a great fund of knowledge,
not only of the capacity of men, but also of the
manner of legislation, and with these ad
vantages, (which are very essential to success,)
be would make one of the most efficient Con
gressmen that ever represented a Congressional
district.
THZODOIti ADAMS is the gentleman to
whom I allude. He is well known in this city
and county. He is known for his integrity and
his enterprise, as well as for his devotion to
to those great principle of freedom, law and
order, which underlie our hopes of present and
future national success. If nominated, his
election would of course be unquestioned and
a brilliant result of the campaign ; and when
once in Congress, no district could 'boast of a
plainer man or a fairer representative, than
the district of which Dauphin county now
forms so important 6 portion.
' I trust that his nomination will not only be
made a matter of importanoe to this district,
but that the election of Mr: Adams will at
once become a subject to interest every man
'Who has the welfare and glory of the district
at heart.

A CURIOUS DOCUMENT.

TIIII. DYING GASPS OF TUE CONFEDERACY.
A special dispatch' from Osiro to the Tribune
says—" The subjoined circular explains itself."
"(Private and Confidential)
" CAPITOI; C. S. A., RICEKORD, April 18,1862.
" :It cannot be denied that the prospects
of success for the Southern Confederacy are
gloomy and foreboding on every hand.—
Whether tack of skill orihe open treachery of
of officers of our army and navy, it matters
not, we meet with disasters and defeat. With
a continuance of such results, ere three months
shall elapse and pass away, our boasted Confe
deracy will exist only in history.
The past shows that we need larger displays
of patriotism, military skill, personal bravery,
and a firm spirit of devotion. to Uteri ust cause
in which we .have enlisted. Cokes theft re
guint_tea_tievelop themselves to a fighting' ex
tent we takeeinore
clear indications that the great heart oU"
people is with us our efforts will be futile
the government is impatient to retrieve the
disastera that have befallen us, and that yet
stare us in the face on every hand, unless the
people rally to its standard.
M'Clellan is already moving on the Potomac;
Halleck's operations in the south-west are at
every step successful against us ; the Federal
army and navy are already menacing the me
tropolls'of the south-west and the key of our
granaries ; Florida is ovtrrun by Northern in
vaders, while, where we look we gaze upon
there, and they are advancing.
In this trying emergency the Government
appeals to the ptople ' to the brave hearts and
hardy hearts of the South. It cries, Avraks I
Your hands have been put to the plough ; will
you now look back and repent your past act ?
Yon have struck nobly for independence,
pledging your lives and fortunes to Its procure
ment. Will you submit quietly to the iovasion
and desolation of your homes—the destruction
or confiecaticn of your property—the abandon
ment of your Christian Institutions? Arise,
and convince the world that the boasted chiv
alry of the South is more than a mere myth.
This appeal , is made to the country, not
openly, for obvious reasons. We make.the
appeal to the people through the Governors of
the States composing the Confelleracy, and the
fficers in command of our armies. To these
mediums the circular is sent, with the urgent
request that its spirit and Intent, if not its let

Fast of all, we ask for material aid in money,
or such an equivalent therefor, as will enable us
to maintain our army. Clothing and provi•
alone will be accepted as substitutes for money,
when the latter cannot be obtained.
Second, we need men. The ranks of our
army in the field are fast becoming thinned by
the casualties of battle, the sickness incident to
camp life, and the expiration of the terms of
nlietment. We cannot close our eyes to the
fact that the places are not filled so promptly
as they should be. Let us Bee the desire to help
our, cause by their willingness to fight its bat
tl*4, and if need be, pour out their blood In its
support.
We need the encouragement of the
people by a more liberal display of patriotism
than has yet been made. The tame submission
yielded to the invader wherever he appears le
in striking contrast to the boast we have hitherto
seard of the readiness that prevailed on every
band to welcome the hirelings with bonfire,
composed of the properly of the people. If our
land is to be overrun and our people subjected,
let us be our own conquerors and leave a
a Smouldering waste to reward them for their
toil and pains. Burn every hamlet, village and
city. Give the torch freely to your cotton and
nonsee. Let the products of your lives be laid
Fly yourselves before the invaders where re
sistance shall no longer avail. Thus, by deter
mination and spirit in the eause for which we
we are all enlisted, you will give encourage
ment to oontinue the struggle. Wherever the
enemy gain, victory, let it be a bootless one.
so that the bands now led on by the hope of
plunder will be,disappointed and discouraged,
and we shall be cheered by the manifestations
of patriotism.
Once more we expect you to awake I Sbake
off the lethargy that hangs over you I Strike
for the freedom of yourselves, and your fami
lies, and your homes! Strike promptly and
boldly, and our Confederacy may yet be firmly
established,
This is our last" and only resource. Those
who receive this circular will also be commis
sioned as agents of the Government, to advance
ate ParpopesAtt indicated, and full letters of in
struction 'will be furnished them.
