Saturday Afternoon, June 14, 1802.
THE OR BRICHINHIRE T.IZADERS AND ORGANS,
the, real. authors and abetters of this rebellion,
change their blandest cries to suit their trea
sonable purposes. Yesterday they gave sym
pathy to traitors by guaranteeing to them the
protection of a Constitution and laws which
they had renounced and trampled into the
dust. To-day they endeavor to stir up revolt
in the north by appealing to the men in the
federal army to lay down their arms, and by
also urging the tax payers to refuse the support
of the government. What is this but treason
—the • 'reason which has characterized the
course of the Patriot during thNentire struggle.
Nor has - it stopped at these attempts to arouse
the resistance of its own poor followers. Its
unfortunate reference to the action of Napoleon
in attempting to suppress a rebellion during
his Consulship, shown its determination to
force a falsehood on the people, whenever such
a falsehood promises to serve the purpose of
widening the breach between the north and
the south, and thus prolonging the bitter strife
that has sprung from democratic misrule and
corruption. Why did not the Patriot • also
state while it was vatting so much stress on
thefact that Napoleon - bad issued a proclamation
offering certain refractory • loyalists, "annesty
for, the past and protection for the future,".
that Abraham Lincoln, in a proclamation is
sued immediately after his inauguration, offered
the rebels terms of peace and protection, if
they returned to their allegiance in a certain
time.- To mention this fact, would have been
to sustain the truth of history, and such a course
is opposed. to the action of locofocoism. But
the President did issue such a proclamation,
and such partisans as those who control the
Breckinridge organs of the Patriot ilk, ridiculed
its force and appropriateness'. The dough-faces
of the north made use of that proclamation to
verify the assurances which they had given
the southern Democracy, that resistance to
Lincoln would secure the overthrow of the
government and the consequent triumph of the
rebellion. It was thus that the war was pro
longed, prolonged on the representation of the
Democratic party of the north,- that a ma
jority of the people of the free states would
take up arms at a given signal, - and aid
the south in any attempt it might make to
overthrow the national government. Had this
not-been-the miser the rebellion would never
have been precipitated. Had not just enchehar
latans as those who control the Patriot pledged
the assistance of the Breckenridge faction, trea
son would to-day have been confined to the pet
ty boaktiage of the fire-eaters. And yet , we hear
them men daily talking about prolonging the
war. The people are insulted by appeals on
the-subject of ataxation which grew out of the
necessities of Democraticcorruption. We sub
mit," whether such audacity does not exceed
the them of the dough-faCes.
Tax/tam NAVY has been annihilated. The
places that knew it know it no more. In the
words of the Ethiopic Psalmist : it "came like
the sparrowgrass, it went like the hopper
grass." Its career was brief and tragic. It
hardly amounted to a decent parody on Naval
*owes. It never won a victory, and never per
forated an achievement sufficient to redeem it
self 'from contempt. The world never wit
nessed A more sorry failure. The only aixibigy ,
for a navy. now possessed by the rebels, is
Commodore Hollin'a fleet of three vessels—
the Ponchartrain; the Lady Pope and the Un
known, and four or five transports. Even
these have been reported to have been run
. ashore and burned. If this is not so, they
- will soon be cared for by our Flotilla.

A VINDICATION
Major-General M'Clellan, in a despatch dated
the Ist instant, alluded to General Casey's Di
vision as having behaved in a manner discredi
table to themselves and dangerous to the
country. The preferment of such a charge,
filled the country with indignation, and at the
time we felt that our good old Commonwealth
was disgraced, because we understood that Gen.
Casey's Division contained a Pennsylvania bri
gade. It seems now that General M'Clellan
was mistaken, and that he was misinformed.—
We will not insist that a Commanding General
should not make mistakes of this character, in
volving the reputation of our soldiers at home
and the fair fame of the army abroad, but we
have a right to Insist that those In authority
should be sure of their facts before they hastily
place upon the record charges sufficient to dis
grace the name of the bravest soldier that ever
stood up In battle.
We give to Gen. McClellan's retraction and
explanation of these charges the prominence
which his despatch deserves, and we trust that
hereafter he will be more loth to condemn and
lees hasty to form conclnsions from informa
tion that he does not fully know to be correct:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OP TIN POTOMAC,
Thursday, June 6, 1862.
Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War :
My despatch of the let lust , stating that
Gen. Casey's division, which was in the first
line, gave way unaccountably and discreditably,
was based upon official statements made to me
before I arrived upon the field of battle, and
while I was there, by several commanders. irom
statements made to me subsequently, by Gen.
Casey and Naglee, I am induced to believe that
portions of the division behaved well, and made
a most gallant stand against superior numbers,
but at present the accounts are too conflicting
to enable me to discriminate with certainty.—
When the factsare clearly ascertained, the ex
ceptional good conduct will be properly ac
knowledged.
GEO. B. McCLELLAIT,
Major General Commanding.
Tes e l7urae BILECIONMDOII AMMON TS who
broke loose from the Democratic party, for the
purpose of making a pretext for the precipita
tion of rebellion, with a few Douglas men who
failed to make their Douglasism profitable with
the present administration, seem to be acting
in concert in their attacks on John W. Forney.
The writer of these paragraphs esteems Col.
Forney amply able to defend himself, but he
cannot refrain from alluding to the fact of these
attacks, if only to give what he believes to be
the motive of those assailing a gentleman in
whom the country now reposes so much confi
dence. The fact that John W. Forney opposes
the slaveholders' rebellion, has of course ren
dered him odious to the Breckenridge Demo
cracy.; and the fact that he is unwavering in
that opposition, regardless of the friendships he
may forfeit, proves the disinterestedness of his
actions, and should put to shame those.who at
tempt to prejudice his position before the.
American people. In many points of politica
we do not agree with Col. Forney, and perhaps
when party lines are again drawn, we may find
ourselves opposed to each other, yet this does
not deter us from expressing our high regard
for his personal and professional acts during the
bloody crisis through which we are now passing.
From the hour that rebellion was signalled
from the federal capital, by the withdrawal of
Senators and Representatives from their seats
in Congress, Col. Forney devoted all his great
energies and brilliant talents to the cause of
the country. He renounced his party, yielded
his politics, gave up his preferences, and chal
lenging thus the admiration of trim men, was
among the first to organize that great union
movement which is now doing so much to
second the armies of the government in the field.
Those who abuse him, do so because they envy,
his success ; and those who envy that success,
endeavored to achieve a similar triumph by the
Very baseness which they now ascribe to him.
Their,abuse, then, is not to . be wondered at,
though it must continue to excite the disgust
of honest men. • •
So far as regards the man, involving his per
sonal integrity and the attributes which can
alone command the sincere respect of men, Col.
Forney is the superior of all his assailauts. If
it were safe for the men who attack the Secre
tary of the Senate to applaud Jeff. Davis, those
attacks would never have been made. But as
the dirt•eating dough-faces must have an outlet
to their sympathy for traitors, some of them
would actually colapse If they had not. Col.
Forney to abuse. By this rule, then, we judge
the assailants of loyal Democrats, who have
devoted themselves to the defence of their
country.
GIN. HiLLICY finds the people of Mississippi
and Alabama starving. He has appealed to
the good citizens of St. Louis to aid the sufferers
by ocutributions of food, and a vessel will be
immediately dispatched up the Tennessee, la
darted with provisions. How God, in his wis
dom, has turned the shaft upon these unfortu
,nate people. A year ago, from the Gulf to the
mountains of Tennessee, those then haughty'
people were exulting over the prospective star-
Nation of the people of the North. The intel
ligence that our factories had been closed, and
that worsen . and children in our great cities
were begging for bread, was received by them
with fiendish shouts.
They drew the wrath of Heaven upon their
own heads, and they are now suffering the mi
series they invoked upon their innocent coun
trymen of the North. Let this war be pro
longed or brief; the greater portion of the South
cannot 'be spared from famine. The people are
already impoverished, and they must be fei
by the hand of charity. To famine, we fear,
will be added pestilence, for' even now the
tracks of the armies are rank with the stench
of carrion. The miseries of these misguided
people, before the summer is over, will be fear
ful—a punishment for their dreadful national
crime.
m WAR has been rather damaging to the .
fame of rebel commodores. Tatnall made a
pitiable show with his mosquito fleet , at Port
Royal, and ingloriously_ snuffed himself out as
commander of the 3ferritnac.. Rollins strutted
a very brief hour and then collapsed. "Dead Sea
Lynch'' played t:he poltroon and. Pretender in
Albemarle sound. ,The unhappy 'gentleman
who commanded the rebel' flotilla In the kite
fight off Memphis, proved himself something
more than a blunderer in the business.

NORFOLK, June 12.—An expedition was made
to Deep creek yesterday by Major Dodge, who
found a rebel postoffice, which had been the link
of communication between this place and Rich

satisfied with that, these guerillas bayonetted
him as he lay and left him unhurried.
There are no rebel troops of any consequence
this side of the bay. A very general feeling
of gloom prevails among tne inhabitants of
this place, on account of the • uncertainty in
reference to the fate of their brothers and sone

8. Fran " 13iwrow."
Memphis, June 6, 1862.
Bon. Gideon Mee, Secretary of the Navy;
Fla :—ln my despatch of yesterday, dated
at Fort Pillow, I bad the honor to inform the
Department that I was about moving to this
place, with the men-of-war and transports. I
got under way from Fort Pillow at noon, legit
mg the Pittsburgh, Lieut. Commanding Egbert
Thompson, to co-operate with a detachment of
Col. Fitch's command in holding possession of
Fort Pillow and-securing public property at
that place ; and also the Mound City, Cora
mauder A. IL ICilty, to convoy the transports
containing the troops, not then ready to move.
On the way down I came suddenly, at a
bend of the river, upon the rebel transport
steamer Sovereign, which turned immediately
to escape from us. I sent forward Lieut.. Joshua
Bishop, wish a body of small-armed men in a
light tug; by whom she was captured. She, ja
a valuable prise. .
The gunboats anchored at eight o'clock, P.
it., at the lower end of Island No. 45, about a
mile and a half above the city of Memphis ;
the mortar boats, tow boats, ordnance, com
missary and other vessels of the fleet tied up at
Island No. 44 for the night.
At daylight this morning the enemy's fleet,
consisting of the rebel rams and. gun b oat, now
numbering eight vessels, were discovered lying
at the levee. They dropped below Railroad
Point, and returning again, arranged them
selves in front of the city.
At 4.20 the flotilla, consisting of the follow
log five vessels, the flag ship Benton, Lieut.
Commanding S. L. Phelps ; the Louisville, Com
mander B. M. Dove; the Carondelet, Com
mander Henry Walke ; the Cairo, Lieut. Com
manding N. 0. Bryant ; and the St. Louis,
Lieut. Commanding Wilson M'Gnnnegle, got
under way by signal, and dropped down the
' river.
The rebels, still lying in front of the town,
opened fire, with the intention of exposing the
city to injury from our shot. While the en
gagement was going on in this manner, two
vessels of the ram fleet, under command of Col.
Ellet, the Queen of the 'West• and >Monarch;
steamed by us and ran boldly into the enemy's
line. Several conflicts hid taken place between
the rams before the flotilla, led by the Benton,
moving at a slower rate, could arrive at the
closest quarters. In the meantime r however,
the firing from our gunboats was continuous
and exceedingly well directed. „The Gen. Beau
regard and the Little Rebel were struck. in the
boilers and blown up.
The ram Queen of the West, which Colonel
Ellet commanded in person, encountered with
full power the rebel steamer Gen. Lovell, and
sunk her ; but in doing so sustained some se
rious damage.
Up to this time the reed fleet had maintain
ed its position and used its guns with great
spirit; these disasters, however, compelled the
remaining vessels to resort to their superiority
in speed as the only means of safety. A run
ning fight took place, which lasted nearly an
hour, and carried us ten miles below the city.•
It et.ded in the capture or destruction of four
of the five remaining vessels of the enemy; one
only, supposed to be the Van Dorn, having
escaped. Two of the rams, 'the Monarch and
Lancaster No. 3, pursued her, but without suc
cess ; they brought back, however, another
prize.
The names and fate of the vessels composing
the rebel fleet are as follows:
,
The - G eneral Lovell, smik in the beginning
of the action by the Queen of the West ; she
weiit down in deep water, in the middle of the
river, altogether out of sight. Some of her
crew escaped by swimming ; bow many went
down in her I have not been able to ascertain.
The General Beauregard, blown up by her
boilers and otherwise injured by shot, went
down near shore.
The Little Rebel, injured In a similar man
ner, made for the Arkansas shore, where she
was abandoned by her crew.
The Jeff. Thompson, set on fire by our shells,
was run on the river bank and abandoned by
her crew. She burnt to the water's edge, and
blew up her magazine.
The General Price was also run on the Ar
kansas shore. She had come in contact with
one of the rams of her own party, and was
otherwise injured by cannon balls. She also
was abandoned by her crew.
The Sumter is somewhat cut up, but is still
afloat.
The fine steamer General Bragg is also above
water, though a good deal shattered in her
upper works and, hull.
The Viiilsoin'eseaped.
Of the above-named vessels the Sumter, Gen
eral Bragg and Little Rebel win adinit of being
repaired. I -have not received the reports of
the engineers and carpenters, and cannot yet
determine whether it will be necessary to send
them to Cairo, or whether they can be repaired
here. .
The pump of the Champion No. 3 will be
applied to raise the (I-.en. Price. No other ves
sels of the rebel flotilla will, I fear, be saved.
I have not received such information as will
enable me to make an approximate statement
of the number of killed, wounded and prison
ers, on the part of the enemy. One of the
veksels, going down In deep water, carried a
part of her crew with her ; another, the Gene
ral Beauregard, having been blown up with
steam, many of her crew were frightfully scald
ed. I doubt whether it will ever be in my
power to furnish an accurate statemeut of
these results of the engagement. e
The attack made by the two rams under Col.
Ellet, which took place before the flotilla doe.'
ed in with the enemy, was bold and success
ful.
Capt. Maynadier, commanding the mot tar
fleet, accompanied the squadron in a tug and
took postmeion of the

her crew prisoiriers. He capttutedlalso qtliejr

command could take no part in the action.
The officers and men of theflotilla performed
their duly. Three men only of the flotilla were
wounded, and those slightly ; but one ship was
struck by shot.
I transmit herewith copies of my correspond
ence with the Mayor of Memphis, leading to
the surrender of the city. [These letters have
already been published in the Tateartesu.]
