SPECIAL PLEADING OF THE PA-
77210 T.
Among the claims of the publiehers inched'.
itors of the Patriot and Union, is their just regard
for the truth, and the perfect frankness with
which they discuss the merits of measures and
men. They mate this claim to truthfulness in
the face of the record of a life-time, teeming
with the most malignant falsehoods, while they
assume a sort of hypocritical frankness only
when an arrogant word, spoken or, printeti,
promhiesla prejudice or damage a good - cause."
As an illustration of these charges, we point to
the leading article in the Patriot and Union, this
morning, on the subject of "The President's
Proclamation." The man who penned that
article, not only deliberately attempted the
perversion of the most patriotic truths, as set
forth in that Proclamation, but he has thought
lessly exposed the treason which rankles in bis
own breast, in his base attempt to make a plea
for armed traitors. Not satisfied, because Pre
sident Lincoln has deprived the doughface press
of its own ilk of a pretext to howl against abo
litionism—not content because the plain letter
of the law is only to be vouchsafed to the rebels
—the Patriot seeks the disgrace of the President
because that officer has neglected to accompany
his repudiation of Hunter's order with a per
fumed explanation of, the policy of the admin
istration, in such terms as would best mollify the
passions and allay the roe rntments of the rebel
traitors. Yet the Patriot hypocritically protests
against seeking to misrepresent the President,
even while it is attempting the most dastardly
misrepresentation of the truths of his proclama
tion. Iu that proclamation, the Preeident denies
the right of any commander to make procla
mation declaring the slaves of any state free—
denies that the government has invested any
such officer with authority to do so, and then
reservee to himself, as commander-in-chief of
the army and navy, the right to decide whether
it is competent for him to declare the slaves of
any state or itatea freo. But this does not suit
the temper of the northern dougbface of the
Patriot ilk. No reservation of such right will
be admitted, when the right to barter in human
flesh, the right to rebel against law, and the
right to murder defenceless men and women is
claimed by the old political allies of that jour
nal. The President of the United Status must
humiliate hie high office to these slavebolding
traitors, and declare that whatever may be the
notion of traitors—whatever may be the influ
ence of slavery to assist in rebellion—and how
ever much the owner of any number of slaves
may be guilty of treason —the property of such
a man must be exempt from confiscation, and
he himself left to enjoy the luxury of its uses.
This the President of the United States must
declare with an oath, or the Patriot will find"
him guilty of violating the Constitution.
We appeal to the intelligent men of Harris
burg, whether our charge of treason against
the proprietors of the Patriot needs any other
corroboration than the article in Its own col
umnsthis morning. We appeal to the loyal
men of the city whether a sheet thus slander
ing our highest officers, thus slyly giving aid
and comfort to our common enemies, and thus
laboring for the perversion of both the Constitu
tion and the law, we appeal whether the con
ductors of such a sheet are not more guilty of
treason than the wretches who fight with
knives and torches in their hands. While the
Patriot is thus slandering the government, one
of its proprietors occupies a position of honor
and trust In the army ; a position which he
reached by the death of a brave man, who
perished while leading his regiment in the face
of the traitor enemy—at a time when that
" proprietor " was at home preparing " the
brains" of the Patriot for the work in which
that sheet Is now engaged. If such conduct is
to be tolerated, a man may soon claim the
Constitutional right of stabbing his neighbor
in the back, or of purloining a defenceless
citisdbs property. It may be Democratic to
take the money of the government in the shape
of a Lieutenant Colonel's pay to keep up a
sheet for the purpose of assailing and assisting
to destroy that government ; but is it patriotic,
is it manly or is it honest to do so ? The
government and the people must answer.
TDB PATILLOT AND UNION talks about the
northern dough-face democracy cutting loose
from their old allies, Davis, Toombs, Wigan,
Hunter and others, when the rebellion is
crushed. The devil might as well talk about
cutting loose from his imps, and conducting the
busting's' :or Sell by his own labors, as the
northern democracy talk about cutting loose
from their rebel slave holding allies and hope
for political success. If rebellion is crushed,
democracy must also of a necessity be extin
guished. One is dependent on the other for
life and action. They must go down together,
or continue to flourish, the enemies of free::
dom, peace and justice.
Tun SEC= Woman of Newborn, N. C., are
the most perfect specimens of their class, • so
far as impudence and intollerance go, in the
south. These, she devils depend upon the
bounty of the federal government for bread
and moat to keep their families from starvation,
while the natural protectors of such broods of
young and old rebels are in the confederate
army. Notwithstandirig these facts, the Com
missioner
,of the Poor in Newborn is constantly
receiving the most insulting letters from these
ladies, complaining of the insufficiency, and in
feriority of the food thus provided. It would
be no Qiean "act to let starvation bring such
creatures to their senses.
eitgrao+
For more than ten years a great struggle wac
waged in Congress, on the subject of the Home
stead law, a measure designed to apportion
the public domain among the actual settlers
thereof, in such a manner as to afford such
settlers and their families free homes. The
opposition to this measure mainly emanated
from the politicians of the South—from those
Democratic statesmen who have always been
most prompt in combatting any practical legis
lation designed for the 'benefit of free irElle
labor. But at length has the Homestead bill
become a law, and thus will a new impulse be
given, not only to the development of states,
but to the spread and strengtherti t ng of free
white labor. .
,
The operation of this law:As to 'provide a
home for every hotteieii iainilY in the Union,
provided such families takes possession of the
aril thus appropriated, and till it for taii,:fpace
of fen ygrois. Anrperion la - clerzen of
the United States, or has filed an intention for
naturalization, who is of the age of twenty-one
yea* the head of a family, or has Rented in
the military or naval forces of the country
during the rebellion, is entitled to make an
entry of 160 acres, on the payment of ten dol
lars, and such other ordinat7 fees of the Regis
ter and Recorder of the land office. This sum
covers, all the money the settler has to pay at
any time.
Wirconsider that this act, the peculiar result
of . the struggles of the Republican party and ,
the fitting work of a Republican Congress, has
done more for the permanency of the Union
than any effort which could possibly be made
at once to crnahlhe 'rebelliOn by 'the force' of
arms. Of course we expect to see the rebellion
utterly crushed by the.strong arm of the mili
tary power, but we verily believe that the policy
of thus affording homes to' the free white men
of the land, will eventually bring into the Union
such 'an array' of free liouttemivrealths; "t 6•
make auy rebellion which the slave states
may hereafter attempt, at' once abortive and
unprofitable.
We learn by telegraph" of thapassage tlf a bill
by Congress prattling under conscription all over
eighteen and under thittpfive, and to 'raise a'
vast and permanent army, without teference to
the States. This is a great and mighty Stride
to'a military consolidation. If it be Elbsolutely
necessary to, save us from a conquest by the
North, we are willing to submit to it, but we
fear the public mind must prepare itself for a
great change in our government. • •
The Democratic newspapers in the 'north
which advocated the traitor Breckenridge (for
ho was then as bitter, as he is now an
armed and open, traitor) for the Presidebcy,
made it a point . ; when it was proposed to arrest
rebellion with the force of arms, to insist that
the people of the south could never be con
quered. The controllers of theee same Demo
cratic organs were Positiveln their declarations
that the people of the south were only fighting
for national existence, for the right of self-
government. The 'South Oirolinicm, 'however,
tells a different story, when it announces the
passage of a Southern Conscription law. It in
dicates a change which will leave the deluded
people of the south in the' grasp of 'a m ilitary'
dictatorship, until the federal forces can con
quer and get possession of every inch of southern
territory thus about to be degraded.
There is something truly horrible and atro
cious in the changes of this rebellion. From a
fight for southern Democratic political sway,
it becomes a struggle for negro slavery, and
from this principle and policy it has progreesed
in enormity, until the white men in the south
are Warned to be prepared' for a still greater
change in the government, which simply
means that the leading traitors are about to
assume such pbwar as will InVest them with
absolute and dictatorial authority. Truly, it
should become the most vigorous objects of the
national government to suppress the - rebellion
and visit itsleaders with the heaviest punish
mentii of the law, before the arimee of these
traitors still farther outrage humanity and in
sult the Christian feelings of all mankind.
Trno GIIRMANTCiWN TELSOUAPH utters a truth
,
in the following paragraph, to which we fully
.
accord our wants. Some, of these "official
reports" are - certainly the merest nonsense
that ever appeared on paper, and' Wore the
public dependent upon such documents for a
history of this war, the record: would be im
perfect and incomplete. There is 'scarcely a
common soldier in the ranks, who' is not'eapa
„
ble of wilting more intelligently than half of
those who aspire to the dignity of inditing
official repots. But let our Germantown
namesake Spank:
One would suppose that the object of an
"official report on the part of our military
and naval oominandera was to put us in
session ofof the tide result of an'action ; but it
seems that of late thesacommunicatlons to the
Heads of Departments are designed to confuse
and mystify rather than inform. Indeed we no
longer look to these eiltigular documents for
anything upon which, we can rely ; hence it
would appear that they are indulged in not
with a view to make clearer the operations of
a canipaigii'or ati expi!ditlon, but as a part of
an official routine which *mid be incomplete
without them.
Owasso is net as uselessly engaged as some
of our fault-finders would have the people to
suppose. Among its noblest acts are those
declaring the freedom of the national capital;
the' public domain consecrated to . free homes
alavery forever prohibited in all, the territory of
the Union ; the policy of gradual emancipation
inaugurated, and the Pacific railroad authorized.
Taken' in connection with 'the war measures,
the finances, and the time consumed in grading
an equitable tax bill, this Congress has accom
pliShed as much; if not - Meire,ieal good for the
country, than any Congress of the last twenty
yeaia. It has done' mach real good for the
industrial classes of the nation, by providing for
their encouragement and eleiation, and afford
kyr:them a safeguard againsit all future conspi
racies for the spread of slavery.

THE OCCUPATION OF PENSACOLA
OPERATIONS BEFORE MOBILE.
PROBABLE EVACUATION OF FORT GABS
An altogether reliable dispatch received this
morning, dated Fortress Monroe to-day,' states
•that the Oriental, in which Brig. Gen. Raxton
sailed for Port Royal, was wrecked on Friday
night, May 16th, on Body's Island, thirty-three
miles north ,of Cape Hatteras. The passengers
arid crew were saved. A portion of the
carp was lost. The remainder will be saved
on the beach. Mr. J. Esq., of
New York, went sixty-five miles in a
storm in a canoe, across the Sound to
Fort Hatti:ras for assistance, which, by
his energy was obtained. Lieutenant Ellis,
assistant acting Quartermaster, came with the
steamer George Peabody, and Col. Haivking,
commander of Roanoke Island, came next day
and took possession of the Government property
and placed a guard overit. -- Lieutenant Ellis
and Col. Hawkins displayed the most com
mendable zeal and judgment in preserving the
Goverment property and generally promoting
the comfort of the shipwrecked ',passengers.
Both deserve the highest praise.
Gen. Srxton arrived at Fortress Monroe this
morning, and goes to. Nevi York this evening.
Mbst of the passengers will be in New York on
Viday in the United States steamer George
Peabody, Voluminona dispatches from the
Gulf were received to-day. They relate princi
pally to the details of the recent movement
connected with the capture of New Orleans.
On our forces occupying Pensacola, the May
ori promised that the citizens would behave
themselves
_peacefully. The rebels evacuated
the place, on hearing that our steamers the
day before were going to Tun. in Mobile bay,
and that the squadr, - in and mortar boats would
sobn follow. •
Commander Porter left Ship Island on the
7th, with the stamens belonging to the mortar
fleet, and the Sachem, for Mobile bar ' for the
purpose of fixing a place for the mortar vessels,
to lie and plant buoys for the ships to run in
by when they should arrive. Great excitement
seemed to exist within the forte at the progress
of+ the fleets.
The vessels ofthq fieetibrivi besu,judiciously
distributed.
A number urider Com. Lee going up, as far as
Vicksburg for the purpose. which •it would be
irdproper to state. -
• it appears from the document's that Com.
Ftlrragut carried out his instructions to the
letter, and was ably and cheerfully suslained
by all under his command.
There was reason to believe theit Fort flatus
was evacuated and the troops were leaving to
reinforce •Fort Morgan. The Clifton got ashore
udder the guns, or the latter Fort, which
opened.fire upon her and when they had got
her range beautifully they threw , shot over
her. Lieutenant Commanding Baldivin went
to! work 000ly and got his vessel off jast as

weather was bad, and' tor the purpose, of coal

dwindles dawn to a small creek
The country in that locality Is in a good state
of cultivation with less swamps than are to be
found in.ordinary cotton lands.
-r. *ix pieces of artillery were found posted on
the opposite bank, but his purpose not being
to bring on an engagement, he returned one
mile from the bridge and encamped.
During the time we were driving the enemy
out, one man was killed and three wounded.
The whole army moved this morning early
with a view of making a lengthy march towards
Wehmond; what road they took is not necessary
to mention, but Oen. M'Clellen'e headquarters
to-night, will be within a short distance of
Richmond, in front of which is supposed to be
encamped the main body of the rebel army. If
they intend to give the Union forces battle,
which is almost. universally acknowledged, the
hour is drawing near when they will have the
opportunity.

OCCIIPATION OF PENSACOLA
I==l
FoETaI MaNll62, May 20 `via' Washington
The United States despatch steamer Rhode
Island, Captain Trenchard, arrived here this
morning, with dates and Mails from New Or
leans of the Bth inst., leaving South West Pass
on the 9th, Ship Island on the 10th, Pensacola
on the 11th, Key West on the 14th, and Port
Royal on the 18th.
Among her passengers from New Orleans are
Colonel Demming, of the Twelfth Connetiticnt
regiment, bearer of dispatches from General
13ntler ; Captain Albert N, Smith, late of the
gunboat Wissahickoti, l and A: G. Hills, corres
pondent of the Boston Journal; also, between
forty and fifty passengers and naval officers
captured on the Mississippi, below New Orleans.
Among them are several lieutenants formerly
of our navy; including 3. K. Mitchell, com
manding the confederate naval forces on the
Mississippi; J. W. Wilkinson, second in com
mand on board the Louisiana ; Beverly Cannon,
of the Governor Moore, destroyed, and A. F.
Warley, commanding the ram Manassas. Oa
the passage the passengers were obliged to take
their turn doing guard duty over the prisoners.
;The news from New Orleans is not of special
interest.
.Gen. Butler commenced landing on the let of
May, and established his headquarters at the
Ctudorn House. He took possession of the City
Hall, Mint, &c., and compelled the St. Charles
Hotel, which was closed, to open for the ac
cmximociation of-himself nod staff, ..
A conference was had between Gen. Butler
and the authorities of the city with PierreSoule,
when the prociamatioikliwas discussed and mod
ified in some particulars...As an act of hu
manity to the suffering inhabitants, boats and
railroads were allowed to bring supplies to the
city. The negotiation of confederate script was
forbidden, but other species of currency in cir
culation was allowed. The newspapers con
tinued their circulation. The Delta was sup
pressed for refusing to publish the proclama
tion, but subsequently allowed to go on.
Algiers was occupied by our forces, and forts
Jackson and St. Philip were garrisoned by
troops from Ship Island.
The Opelousas and Jackson Railroads were
taken possession of, and approaches to the city
out off.
General Phelps had advanced to Carrollton,
twenty-five mike np the river, and occupied
the place.
There was very little demonstration of pub
lic) feeling in consequeuce of the uncertainty
in, reference to the future. A great want of
confidence prevailed, but tinder the firm
course of Gen. Butler business was slowly re
viving. The city was gradually becoming
quiet, and affairs were generally in a perfectly
satisfactory state.
- Com. Porter's mortar fleet had been off Mo
bile and in the bay, and soundings had been
made in the channel. On the 7th the fleet was
fired on while engaged in this work by Fort
Morgan, but the mortar boats did not reply.—
Th fleet afterwards returned to Ship Island.
On the night of the 9th the ,enemy evacuated
Pensacola, and set fire to the forts, the Navy
Xard, barracks and marine hospital. General
Arnold commenced a bombardment when the
deatruction of property began, with the hope of
saving a portion of the fort property.
The steamers Bradford and Neaffic were
burnt, and Fort MCIIILA, the hospital and navy
yard destroyed. The Barrancas barracks were
saved, and also the foundry and blacksmith
shop in the navy yard. The city and forts had
been occupied by Gen. Tones, with three thou
sand troops. Gun. Arnold was to establish hie
headquarters in the city on the 12th, and
occupy the city with twelve hundred men.
There is nothing of importance from Key
West or Port Royal.
A few days ago, the gunboat Wamsutta lost
two men in a skirmish in Warsaw Sound.
