To the best of onr knowledge and belief the
article in last evening's Telegraph in relation to
the organization of such a scciety as the above
in our midst and the oath alleged to be ad
ministered, is a vamped up, wicked lie, fabrica
ted without the slightest evidence on the
subject, and for the purpose of creating ill
feeling between citizens, and finally leading to
angry altercations, blows, riot and bloodshed.
Bach seems to be the amiable mission of Deacon
Bergner. We pray that shonl4 success crown his
efforta,he may be the first victim of that popular
vengeance which he seems so anxious to pro
voke. The city could better spare him than
any citizen we know. ~ l ie is a pestilent fellow,
itithoutimain, heart, or eanstienee, and withal
a Hessian, a name abhorred by every American
who hem read the history of the revolution.—
When the storm shall come which he is so
industriously laboring to_ raise, let it be re
membered that he is a vile, mercenary, and
apparently Very blood-thirsty Hessian.
Postmaster Bergner,
The House Committee to investigate Mr.
Postmaster Bergner's accounts have reported;
and, we shall publish the report to-morrow.
Mr. Bergner has the impudence in his own
. paper, the Telegrapft, of yesterday afternoon,
to allude to this report as an attempt on the
part of some of hie political enenies to "ma
. lira" him. We shall not now, and probably at
no other time, notice the matter particularly.
The report tells the tale—not all that could be
told probably, if the way to get at facts were
known, but all that could be , elicited from the
witnesses, examined—and we refer the public
1 , to the testimony of the Postmaster's own clerks,
- for the manner in which a portion of the office
business is transacted, and especially for the
manner in which Mr. Bergner discharges his
. part. That testimony, we think, without the
aid of any other light, villplace the Postmaster
-.before .the community in his true character,
and covince every unprejudiced mind that even
Mr. Bex, to whom he refers with so much bit.

'Moods,'" malign " him much.
The Cameron Bribery Case.
fine allowing proceedings occurred in tho
.
House of Representatives yesterday :
Mr. HOPKINS (Wash.) offered the following
rooolution :
Resolved, That the ttovernor be instructed to
direst the. Attorney General to institute crimi
nal proceedings against Simon Cameron, John
J. Patterson, William Brobst, and Henry
Thorafte..
Mr. BENEDICT moved to amend by striking
• out the names of General Cameron and the
ethers- in the resoligion and insert the name
of T. Jefferson Boyer. Disagreed to by
strict party vote. .
The vote was then taken on the resolution
of Mr. HOPKINS, when Mr. LAPORTE, Repub
ln voted aye, and desired to enter his res.-
' One for so doing on the Journal, which were
its follOws
• sgAs Simon Cameron has, as I am informed,
coUstanW asserted since his defeat that bat
for his failure to obtain my vote he would have
been elected, and as that assertion can only be
I rue, in my opinion, noon the grounds that he
had purchased a Democratic vote, I vote aye."
The original' resolution of Mr. HOPKINS
(Wesh.) then passed—yeas 49, nays 44.
The resolution then being on final pas-
sage,
Mr. CHAMPNEYS rose to denounce the
act as the most infamous violation of the Con
stitution - which be had ever heard.
When Mr. TRIMMER called the previous
question and Mr. CHAMPIi . f.I3YS was ordered to
take his seat. Passed finally.
Evidence and Testimony In the Cameron
Briery Cams.
The report and, testimony in the Cameron
Bribery Case, which has reached the painful
length of thirty columns of this journal, has
no doubt already been made the subject of such
sufficient scrutiny and comment by our readers
as not to require, at its conclusion, much fur
ther elucidation at our hands.
No intelligent person, who has taken upon
himself the task of wading through the - testi-
Mony given,, can avoid the conclusion em
bodied in the report of the committee. What
ever he may add on his own account will
depend upon the interest and attention he has
bestowed upon the details of the evidence
elicited in the course of the investigation. A
few general hints Will 'serve to ventilate this
very simple matter to the satisfaction of all
whom it may concern.
The plan adopted by the Cameron parties,
so far as brought to m light, comprehended, in
brief, two main lines of operations—the one
superintended by Patterson and Brobst, and
chiefly associated with Dr. Boyer, with a diver
sion in favor of one or two other metnbers ;
the other by Messrs. Thomas and Hammer,
agents of Cameron, connected with Messrs.
Wolf, Kerns and Graber, members of Assem
bly. Besides these, Gen. Cameron appears to
have made a movement, through a Mr. Pen
niman, on Mr. Nelson of Wayne; while the
diplomatic Brobst made a slight demonstration,
with the assistance of Mr. Thomas, on Mr.
Potteiger, of Berks. The method pursued by
the committee seems to haye been to
investigate separately these two main lines
of evidence in order to decide the
general question contained in the resolu
tion under which they were appointed to act,
to wit : ic Whether unlawful means were em
ployed to secure the election of a United
States Senator" in January. A general re
view-of the evidence shows some discrepancy
in the testimony of the witnesses examined—
the Cameron party swearing throughout that
no money was offered to secure the votes which
they desired to obtain,; the other witnesses
testifying repe'atedly to the offer of large sums,
variously from five to twenty-five thousand
dollars, or other emoluments—the lease' of a
colliery or the position of a paymastership in.
the army. Upon the decision of the commit
tee, from the evidence brought forward, as to
whether any inducements were actually held
out by the agents of Cameron, acting singly or
with his authority and consent, whereby a vote
or votes were to have ,been secured in his
(Cameron's) favor, lingees the conclusion at
which the report arrives. This decision de
pends upon the comparative Validity allowed
to the conflicting testimony. An argument of
probabilities, the question of motive, together
with collateral evidence, are introduced by the
committee in their report, to decide, as in or
dinary legal prosecutionsbetween the contra
dictions to be found aMng the witnesses in
question. The preporujerance of evidence,
collateral mid direct, aside from the natural
theory of motives, appears plainly, on all
hands, to be in favor of the conclusion of the
committee. William Brohst swears, for in
stance, that he made no offers of money, either
Iby another's authority or on his own_account,
by
means of which he sought to obtain votes
for Cameron; Dr. Boyer testifies directly to
the contrary. this he is sustained by the
testimony of Dr_ Earley, membe'r from Clear
field, who 'overheard an :offer of' money by
Brobst ; by Michael K. Boyer, to whom Brobst
had said "he was authorized by Cameron to
give two men five thousand dollars," &s.; by
J. H. Hancock, who testifies substantially the
same thing. Curiously enough this disinteres
ted friend (Brobst) of the Abolition aspirant
had other liminess in Harrisburg than the as
sistance of General Cameron to office beine•
in difficulty, according to the testimony of Mr.
Dill, about :a charge of having obtained fraudu-
lent exemption papers. The name of this un
fortunate gentleman figures, also, in our police
reports of Monday.
Mr. John J. Patterson, another alleged agent
of Cameron, whose testimony before the com
mittee has too much the air of elaboration to
be diVested. of the impression it conveys of
being carefully prepared, swears in substance
to the same disinterested line of conduct as
Brobst in the good offices he performed with
so much sagacity for his friend, the ex-Secre
tary of War. In every point and particular
wherts it is - necessary he contradicts the evi
dencof - bit*. Beier previously, furnished to the
publi6 and in every particular which involves
no compromise either of his principal, or MIA
self kecoincides with it. lie gives quite a differ
ent construction td the language alleged to have
been used by Cameron in one of his inter
views with Dr. Boyer, in reference to the in
dependence of the Southern Stdies, admitting
some general expressions of gratitude to Boyer
by Cameron on that occasion. He relates a
conversation at Herr's hotel, which Dr. Fuller
and Dr. Boyer testify he was not present to
hear—falsus in tine, fulsus in omnibus. He
denies throughout the offer of money, like his
coadjutor, Mr. Brobst ; and gallantly "swears
it through" to the end, alter the manner, it
would seem; he had pledged himself to protect
Boyerand all concerned, while the negotiations
were on foot. The same evidence which is
addnced to sustain Mr. Boyer, is applicable, in
a general sense, to invalidate directly the tes
timony-of Patterson. We have in our mind a
certain tratisaction made public during the last
Congressional contest in this district, by The
ophlius Fenn, which might possibly not conduce
to support Patterson's reliability as a witness,
or in any other position. That in the face of
a 'preponderance of such evidence as is
against him, with the motive which is appa
rent to every unbiassed m led, such a man
1
as Patterson should have sworn falsely, we
conceive to• be by no means improbable. So
much attic testimony as relV 3 teS to the tralssac-
Cons of Brobst and Patterson, fully sustains
-the clear and unimpeachable evidence of Dr.
• Boyer.
It will be found, however, that the invest"•
gations putsned in another quarter are quite as
con6lusiVe of the guilt of the parties concerned.
Mr. Henry Thoaa4 and Mr. John . llananior; it
appears, interested themselves also to secure
Cameron's election, and were acting Mr con- .
cert with Messrs. Brobst and Patterson on dif
ferent subjects. Messrs. Wolf, Graber and
Kerns, members of Assembly from Schuylkill,
became the objects of personal attention to the
aforeisid gentlemen. Mr. Thomas, however,
boldly testifies no " inducement" was offered
either of these members from Schuylkill to
vote tot Cameron; while Mr. Hammer admits
in his testimony that he had mentioned, in
rather a pertinent manner, the sum of five
thousand dollars to Mr. Wolf, while he "had
no idea" what source it was coming from. In
a word, Messrs. Graber and Wolf's testimony
is distinctly at variance with that of Thomas,
and takes the same issue with it that that of
Dr. Boyer and Dr. Earley does with that of
Brobst and Patterson ; the members of Assem
bly swearing on all hands to the offers, in va
rious shapes and in various sums, of induce
ments to influence votes for Cameron; Came
ron's agents or disinterested friends swearing,
with common agreement, to the absence of
any such inducement. We commend these
facts and such others as, by want of space, we
are obliged to leave untouched, to be found in
the course of this investigation, to the careful
consideration of any lover of common honesty,
to draw his own conclasionsour own we defer
to a subsequent period.
Treason and Traitors.
The only treason, bold, palpable treason
committed in the North since the rebellion
broke out has been committed by the men in
power—the only real traitors are those preten
ding to administer the government and their
supporters—and from President Lincoln, down
to the lowest Abolition grog-shop brawler,
every man of them who charges treason or
rebel sympathy upon the Democratic party, are
liars and the truth is not in them. Charged
with betraying M'Clellan's plans to the enemy
—charged even by their own Wade committee
with betraying Burnside—charged on all sides
with treason; corruption and perfidy—ahey
turn upon the Derbocratio party, which has
been and is now true to the Constitution, the
Union and its principles, and only opposed
to the usurpations and villainies of the admin
istration, its wild policy and bungling man
agement, and seek to escape from the crimes
charged and proven against them by falsely
accusing their political opponents. These vile
conspirators against the Constitution and
Union, against republican institutions and per
sonal freedom, are now invoking civil war in the
North, and threatening to crush out every ves
tige of liberty by the bayonet after they shall
hate succeeded in quelling rebellion in the
South. They are organizing their Union
Leagues, and, in some places—Philadelphia for
inatance—through Custom Rouse money and in
fluence, drilling armed bands of mercenary de
port:lents, to aid in the unholy and bloody design.
The chief officers of the administration do not
hesitate to av ow this purpose. At the grand
Union League meeting in Union Square, New
York, on Saturday last, a letter was read from
Mr. Seward, in which he boldly declared that
"no quastions about how the nation shall gov.
ern itself * *in the great future" should
be asked. A simple reiteration, by authority,
of the shameless demand.matie so often through
the Abolition press of unquestioning submis
sion to whatever the administration might do,
without regard to its wisdom or constitution
ality. This is the same Seward who addressed
the following language to Lord Lyon, the Bri
tish Minister, in a diplomatic letter:
"MY LORD, I CAN TOUCH A BELL ON MY
RIGHT HAND AND ORDER THE ARREST
OF A CITIZEN IN OHIO. I OAN TOUCH
THE BELL AGAIN AND ORDER THE
PRISONMENT OF A CITIZEN OF NEW
YORK ; AND NO POWER ON EARTH BUT
THAT OF THE PRESIDENT CAN RELEASE
THEM. CAN THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND,
IN HER DOMINIONS, DO AS MUCH ?"
Who can wonder at any thing—madness,
folly, treason—ridiculous or wicked frjrn such
a source ?
At the same meeting Mr. Postmaster Blair
made a speech in which he declared that thore
in the North who call themselves Democrats,
have been "spared by the clemency of the admin
istration." “But," he adds, "these men in the
North are only so many men on gibbets." That
is, the administration have them in their power,
and willthang them at its earliest convenience.
Could any thing be mire vile, more outrageous,
more insulting to a free people, whose only of
fence has been a refusal to indorse the in
iquities of an administration whose whole
history for the past fifteen months has been
one of wretched mismanagement, wholesale
plunder, wrong, outrage and oppression ? Yes,
there is one feature of the proceedings of that
Union Square meeting that out-Herods Herod,
that tops the infamy of Blair, and is only
equalled by that of Cassius M. Clay, who 'called
for the hanging of Gov. Seymour, and Lane,
of Kansas, who hoped "to live lung enough to
see every white man in South Carolina in hell,"
with other characteristic expressions. Gen.
Halleck, the General-in-Chief, next to Lincoln
and Stanton the man highest, in power in the
Government, so far as the control of the army,
is concerned, wrote a letter to that meeting de
claring the bloody purpose of the government
in this unequivocal language
"Our armies are stilt advancing, and, if sus
tained by the voices of the patriotic millions
at home,. they will . ere long crush the Rebel
lion in the South, ANp THEN PLACE THEIR
HEELS UPON THE HEADS OF SNEAKING}
TRAITORS- IN THE NORTH !"
Who can fail to see the purpose foreshad
owed by this infamous language ! When the
South is conquered and taken military posses
sion of—when independent States are converted
into provinces governed by military satraps
appointed by the administration—in short,
when the Constitutional Government is entirely
subverted and Despotism firmly established,
then the bayonets which are not want e d, t o
hold the South in military subjection, are to be
turned against the Democracy of the North,
whom they falsely accuse of disloyalty, a n d th e
heel of power is to be placed upon their beads
and `heir lives mercilessly crushed out without
trial, in defiance of law and justice.
People of Pennsylvania, read in these evi
dences of Abolition policy and purpose the
signs of rapidly approaching evil. Read and

NEWS OF TEE DAY.
We have some further particulars, but
nothing later in reference to the position of
Gen. Foster, at Little Washington than we
published yesterday. It is now said the 8,000
troops sent from Newbern to the relief of Gen.
Foster had not returned, but that they were
on the way back, hard pressed by the enemy,
and fears for their safety were entertained. A
remark of one of the Union officers at Nowbern
to a passenger on the Dudley Buck, immediate
ly preceding her Aeaying that city for New
York, on the 9th, confirms our fears, expressed
yesterday, for the safety of Newbern. He
said : "If our forces reach us we are safe—if
not, we are gone"—alluding to the forces sent
to the relief of Foster. The enemy opposed
to GeneiFoster atlittle Washington and march
ing upon Newbern are said to number 27,000
—under Gen. Hill, 20,000, and under Gen.
Pettigrew, 7,000. Of the three gunboats,
Miami, Delaware and Valley City, sent from
Fortress Monroe to relieve Gen. Foster, only
one, the Valley City, got through, and she was
struck by shot sixty-three times and is sup
posed to be seriously damaged. She carried
neither troops nor provisions, but it is sup
posed she had a supply of ammunition. If no
relief reached Oren. Foster by the 11th, his
surrender at that time was deemed inevitable,
as be would be entirely out of provisions.
From Fortress Monroe we have dates to the
12th. An ammunition train which left Norfolk
on the night of the 10th for Suffolk, met with
a serious accident at Deep Creek bridge by
which two men were killed, one of them Capt.
llowditch, of the Nth New York volunteer reg
iment. The accident was occasioned by par
ties who, apprehending an attack from the
rebels, tore up the rails and neglected•to noti
fy the ammunition train. The gunboat Juniata
has left her anchorage for Norfolk to protect
the railroad bridge against any attack of the
enemy. Some skirmishing had been going on
at Williamsburg, and it was rumored that the
rebels were between that place and Yorktown.
It was also rumored that the rebels were threat
ening Suffolk, but nothing serious was appre
hended in either direction. Some apprehension
was felt that the Confederate iron-clad Merri
mac and other rebel gunboats might attack
Newport News. Lieutenant Colonel Kimball
of the 9th regiment Hawkins' Zouavea was
assassinated on Saturday evening, (11th.) One
report is that he applied to General Corcoran
for a pass which was refused, upon which he
insulted the Ganeral, who drew a pistol and
killed him on the spot. But officers who ought
to know assert that General Corcoran was five
miles distant when the tragedy occurred. The
affair will be investigated. Major. Gen. Keys
—temporarily in command in the absence of
General Dix—las issued the following procla
mation :
FfnAncKul:anus DRPAILTILENT. VA ,
Fortress Monroe, April 12,1863_
Proximity of the Confederate forces to this
city renders it necessary for the commanding
General to notify all foreign consuls, women
and children, and all persons not in the employ
of the United States, who prefer safety to the
conflict of war, to leave any town or village in
this department which may be fired upon by
the enemyforthwith.
(Signed) Major General KEYES.
From the Army of the Cumberland, Gen.
Roseerans, we have the following by telegraph
from Cincinnati, April 18 :
Since his fight at Franklin, Van Dorn has
fallen back beyond Springhill. In his retreat
he threw two field pieces into a creek. Van
Dorn supposed that most of our troops had been
withdrawn from Franklin, and, as at Corinth,
got whipped. The enemy is reported several
thousand strong in the vicinity of Lebanon, ex
pressing their determimation to hold that
country. Pegram is at Sparta, reorganizing
his forhes to annoy our communications.
The guard, with 43'rabels in charge, made a
stand to fight. They lost six killed and a donen
wounded. The rebels lost the same number.
Among the prisoners were Colonel Wood, 16th
Indiana; Colonel George P. Puell, 58th In
diana; Major Cliff, Ist Middle Tennessee Cav
alry. The rebels took the rails from the road
and fired into the train. The ciaionists were
robbed of their valuables. Oile sutler lost
three thousand dollars. A nephew of General
Rousseau lost fourteen thousand dollars belong
ing to his regiment. The rebel officers proles•
sed to be indignant, but did not attempt to re
store the money. Our people lost from twenty
to fifty thousand dollaks. Pursuit was made,
but it was ineffectual. Our prisoners were
forced to march at the double-quick.
By the Roanoke, arrived at New York, from
New Orleans on the 6th, and Havana on the Bth,
we have intelligence from the Department of the
Gulf, Gen. Banks, to those dates.
A scouting party, which was sent ou t i n th e
Amite country, met a small force of rebel cav
alry, with whom they had a sharp skirmish.
Ten rebels were killed" 17 wounded, and ,u cap
tured. Our loss was four wounded.
Generals Grover and Weitzel's forces were
in supporting distance of each other. Gen.
Emory's division 'had been sent to reinforce
them. It ie-belleved that General Emory will
command a strong movement to be made up
the Atchafalaya river.
It is reported by persons who have just ar
rived from the rebel lines that there is a large
quantity of cotton hidden away by the country
people, much of which ' has been reported as
burned to the rebel government.
The advices from the city of Mexico are to
the 224 of March, (rota Puebla to the 23d, and
from Vera Cruz to the let of April.
Nothing has been 'done in the vicinity of
Puebla. A few skirmishes had taken place,
which resulted rather to the discomfort of the
French_
No news was a(fowed to leak out in Vera
Cruz. A general order had been issued in
Orizaba, imposing a heavy penalty on all per
sona who even talked of the state of affairs at
Puebla.
The guerillas attacked a body of fifteen hun
dred laborers on the railroad d lind carried off
all the Mexicans among them as prisoners.
From the Army of the Mississippi we have
the following :
The preparations to run by the Vicksburg
batteries with the gunboats and transports in
.dicate a combined attack on Port iluticoa from
above and below.
A cavalry expedition, under Lieutenant Col.
Heath, of the sth Ohio, . left Memphis on the

several squads of guerillas, captured two of
Blythe's men, and wounded several. Among
the former was Col. Fletcher, Blythe's right
bower. The expedition sustained no loss.
The Gazette's Cairo dispatch of the 11th
says : Oa Sunda? last a battle of some mag
nitude took place between Gen. M'Clernand
and the rebels in small force, near Richmond,
La. The rebels fell back, and the Unionists
occupied the town, and then moved on to La
grange. •
A cavalry expedition, under General Steele,
had gone up Black Bayou, wherelt met some
rebel regiments. The rebels were driven over•
the bayou. They burned a bridge ; our troops
rebuilt it and proceeded on.
Tbe news from General Burneide's pommeled
—Department, of the Ohio—iB 'meagre, ' Two
companies of General White's eimmand, on the
night of the 12th, routed a party of Jenkins'
men at the mouth of Hurricane creek. Two
lieutenants and several privates were taken
prisoners. General Burnside hap issued an
order pronouncing the penalty of death on all
persons found guilty of aiding the rebels. Per
sons sympathizing with the rebels will be ar
rested and tried, or sent beyond the lines. The
order says: "It must be distinctly understood
that treason, expressed or implitd, will not be
tolerated in this department."
From Charleston, save a few • not important
particulars, there is nothing later than we pub
lished yesterday. Colonel Alfred Rhett was
commanding officer at Fort Sumpter; Lt. Col.
Joseph Yates commanded the barbette and
Major Ormsby Blanding the casemated batte
ries. The rebel accounts say our iron-clads
fired eighty shots at the Fort, thirty-four of
which struck—;but they tell us nothing as to
the amount of damage done. A Confederate
officer from Morris Island boarded the wreck
of the Keokuk on the night of the Bth, and re
ports her turret pierced through by a ball. On
the 9th the six Monitors and the frigate Iron
sides were within the Bar about two and a half
miles from Sumpter. Beauregard writes to
General Cooper on the 9th that General W. S.
Walker had destroyed an armed Union steamer
at daylight that morning in the Coasaw river.
We have but little foreign news by telegraph.

LATEST TRO3I CHARLESTON
By steamer Arago, from Port Royal on the
11th, via Charleston Bar, which arrived at New
York yesterday afternoon, we have the follow
ing :
The New South; of the 11th, says the fight at
Charleston was resumed on the 10th, but with
what results it could not ascertain. It adds
that Sumpter is probably breathed by this
time.
The purser'a report of the Arago says the
Ironsides and six other•iron-clads remained
off Charleston Bar on \ the 11th, and nothing
new has transpired since the bombardment on
the 7th.
Gen. Hunter, with the army, would leave for
Port Royal on the next diy.
A part of the land force had sailed for Port
Royal.
The design of attacking Charleston had not
been abandoned, and the confidence of our
naval officers was in no degree shaken.
Advices per the steamer Arago, state that
the iron clad Patapsco went to Port. Royal and
there repaired, and was again ready for ser
vice.
'None of the vessels except the Keokuk were
seriously injured.
The rest.of the fleet lay inside of Charles
