bag, left the shop with the English gentle
man.
The two walked together for a few minutes
in silence, when Henry, who was affected to
tears with joy at seeing his long-absent brother,
and sorrow at witnessing the poverty-stricken
condition he was in, broke the spell by alluding
to the gloomy condition of the weather. While
Henry walked upright and firm, George half
bent and weak from affliction, walked along
" like one just tottering on the verge of the
grave." They ascended the steps of the Ber
net, and Henry led his unsuspecting brother
through the corridor and up the stairs to his
room, which they entered. Henry's wife, a
lady of rare accomplishments, whom George
had never met, rose to receive her poor relative,
but
. a nod from Henry, and she again took her
seat. George was requested to be seated, which
done, be began to take out his tools to do the
repairing that the lady's shoes might need.
Henry could restrain himself no longer, and,
taking out his card said, " George ! I have the
honor and the pleasure of presenting you this
card." George took the card, and glancing at
the name, Henry W., turned . pale, and, glan
cing upward into the Englishman's face, ex
claimed, " What, are you my brother Henry.
from Liverpool, England?" "I am, George ;"
and the two brothers elapsed each other around
the neck and wept aloud.
The introduction to Henry's wife followed,
and the trio had a brief but interesting conver
sation, in which Henry recapitulated how he
had lost all knowledge of his brother's where
abouts, and although diligent inquiry had been
made, he failed to gain any information of his
locality in America. He hurriedly told George
that he had amassed a considerable fortune,
and that, having one-half to spare him and his
family, he desired him to go back with him to
the shop and throw up his situation, and then
the two would go and see George's family.—
George was completely nonplussed and, to use
a common expression, " did not know whether
he was standing on his head or his feet." To
expostulate would be futile, for the brother
was determined, and, as he was the eldest, his
request was granted.
The two brothers, arm-in-arm, went to the
slice store and the proprietor was informed
that George could not work any longer at the
business, Henry, who made himself known as
his brother, alleging as a reason that he had
something more profitable for him to engage
in. The two brothers then left the store, and
taking a seat in the Brighton House car, soon
arrived at the abode of George, the humbleness
of which Henry was prepared to witness.
Without any formality George introduced
Henry to his wife and children, and the happy
family passed a pleasant hour with their new
relative.
Wit Lout giving any more details, it will
Eulitee to say that George and his family are
now living in a fine brick dwelling of their
own, newly furnished throughout, and that
George, his wife and children, with their new
clothing, will spend their Sunday to-day with
their relatives far differently than they spent
last Sunday. What George's future occupation
will be has not yet developed, but in all proba
bility he will go into the shoe business for
himself. His share of his brother's fortune is
'pal to one hundred thousand dollars, so that
he and his family are not likely to again be in
want the remainder of their days.
In one week what a change ! But such an
one, we doubt not, all our readers will indorse
as well merited and deserved, reflecting the
highest credit on the brother who was the
instrument in bringing it about.

'Northumberland County.
A subscriber, whose paper, owing to neglect
on our part, has failed to reach him, writes
to us from Shamokin, May 4 :
"There is no time to be lost now, when our
liberties; lives and property are threatened.
* * * It may be interesting to you to hear
that the people are aroused in this section of
Old Northumberland, as they never were be
fore, to the great cause of the Old Democratic
party. Clubs are organized throughout the
county, and every measure necessary to suc
cess is being taken. There was an attendance
of about three hundred at a meeting held by
the Shamokin Township Club on Saturday
evening last ; able speeches were made, and
the most enthusiastic spirit prevailed. In this
place the opposition used to have about three
hundred majority—but we will beat them at
the State election, although we have not yet
an organized club here. Depend upon it, Old
Northumberland will give a tremendous ma
jority—she will make a loud speech through
the ballot box_ Yours, very respectfully, &c."
The Telegraph has become too profligate in its
course to dtserve notice. It is the vilest, dirti
est, most unscrußulous and mendacious sheet
in the Unien that we have any knowledge of.
Whoever conducts its editorial department,
whether the Deacon, or another employed spe
cially for that purpose, is not only an ignorant
bungler, a coarse, brutal wretch, but a system
atic falsifier, who tries to make -up by men
dacity what he lacks in knowledge. Not
withstanding that this is the unexaggerated
elisractiv of that press and its editor, we are
sometimes compelled to refer to the contents
of the sheet, in order to save the public from
the impositions which it constantly aims to
practice. Last evening's paper refers to the
triumph of Gea. Hooker, (which we hope may
prove to be as represented,) and speaks glow
ingly, and for once truthfully, of "the valor of
loyal men in arms fer the defence of govern
ment"—bat neglects to state that the only
COWARDS, of whom 'we have heard, on the
bloody field of Chincellorville, were the troops
commanded by Gen. CARL SCHURZ—an Ab
olition corps and an Abolition commander. This
fad the Telegraph, no doubt purposely, omitted
-Lind yet the poltroonery of that one and, we
tittnit, only Abolition corps, came near bringing
&feat and disgrace upon the whole Army of
the Potomac.
Army of the Potomac.
We have no reliable news, in fact none at
all later than that published yesterday morn
ing—but we have more particulars. Our loss
in the battle, or rather battles of Chancellor
villc on Saturday and Sunday must have been
very severe. It is said that Tyler's brigade,
that went into action 1,800 strong, brought out
o nly 600-3 loss of two-thirds. Besides this
brigade, the 133 d and 155th Pennsylvania
regiments, Col. Allabach's brigade, and the
Sixth U. S. infantry of Sykes' division, are re
ported to have suffered severely. It is said
they fought splendidly—that no troops ever
fought better. It was Gen. Tyler's determina
tion to hold his position that caused his great
loss. His troops made four bayonet charges,
and drove the enemy each time. Among the
killed and wounded Pennsylvania officers and
men in Tyler's brigade; the following are re
ported :
Capt. Brant, Co. B, 134th Pa., killed.

In the fight on Sunday the only house com
posing the village of Chancellorville, occupied
by General Hooker as his headquarters, was
shelled and set on fire. Previous to leaving
the house General Hooker was struck and
knocked down by a post torn out by a shell,
and for a short time the command devolved on
General Couch—but Hooker was not seriously
injured, only badly bruised, and was soon in
his place again_ At night our troops held an
intrenched position, about a mile back towards
the river.
At an early hour on Monday morning fight;
leg was resumed at Chancellorville. It is said
Lee had received large reinforcements, appa
rently from Richmond, which would make it
certain that Gen. Stoneman—from whom no
thing definite has been heard—had not suc
ceeded in cutting the railroad. This has been
a great disappointment to Hooker, who, it is
said, was also perplexed by not receiving ear
lier assistance from the Sixth corps, General
Sedgwick, which he expected would storm the
heights of Fredericksburg early on Sunday
morning and come down immediately, in the
enemy's rear, to his assistance. These are
disappointments, however, which every conk ,
mender must be prepared for, and we presume
Hooker was not greatly disconcerted by them.
The battle on Monday is reported to have been
a very severe and sanguinary one, but of the
result we have no information. Rumors that
Hooker had been defeated and his army de
moralized, and contrary rumors that he had
gained a decisive victory, were current in
Washington on'Tuesday—but they were only
rumors. The following, from the Itersklas
Washington correspondent., May 5, is about as
explicit as anything we have seen: n
" There was heavy fighting yesterday, nearly
all day, on the right, where the great fight of
the day previous (Sunday) took place; but at
the last accounts everything was going on well
for the Union army. The enemy ae contend
ing desperately against the efforts of General
Hooker to inflict a decisive defeat upon them,
and will of course continue the contest as long
as possible. The casualties on both sides have
been very heavy, as the best and most effective
troops of both armies are here pitted against
one another, and are contending, the one for a
great victory, which shall open the road to
Richmond by the destruction and demoraliza
tion of the opposing bests, and thus aid mate
rially and effectively in the suppression of the
rebellion and the termination of the war, the
other for self-preservation and to prolong the
existence of their rebel Confederacy. 'The
number of prisoners captured thus far is at
least from four to six thousand, and the nun
ber is hourly largely increased.
"Both armies are considerably exhausted by
the almost continuous fighting, marching and
manoeuvring of the last three days, and unless
large reinforcements can be brought up for the
relief of Lee's army without farther delay, they
cannot much longer continue the contest.
" General Hooker declared to an officer who
left his headquarters at Chancellorville this
morning, that he could hold his position against
any force that could be brought against him.
He is very confident of success, and that this
is to be, if one of the bloodiest, the most im
portant and decisive victory of the war thus
far achieved."
Aniong the rebel officers of distinction cap
tured are Gen. Evans and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
both of them now prisoners in Washington.
The Fredericksburg correspondent of the N.
Y. World, May 4, says that Gen. Stoneman,
when last heard from, was - within eighteen
miles of Richmond, at Hanover Court House,
having made a circuit around the enemy, de
stroyed the railroad bridges of the Pamunkey
and Anna rivers, and some fifteen miles of the
track. At 10 a. m. on Tuesday morning he
writes : "Se dgwick has pressed on toward Hooker,
and Gibbon's division, left to guard the heights in
rear of Fredericksburg, have been attacked by the
enemy in large force, and are in danger of losing
their position and abandoning Fredericksburg alto
gether." This, if true—and the correspondent,
being at Fredericksburg, ought to know—might
give an ugly turn to affairs.
There were said to be, on Tuesday, over
8,000 rebel prisoners in Washington, and a re
port was current that Gen.. Stoneman had cap
tured Gordonsville. It is net certaia that the
rebel General now a prisoner, supposed to be
Fitzhugh Lee, is in reality that distinguished
officer.

The Doctrine of State Rights.
When knaves, idiots or fanatics get control
of the administration of government, and the
same class of men dictate the course of that
portion of the press professing identical po
litical views with the ruling power, the people
suffer immensely. An imbecile, 'visionary,. or
corrupt administration, sustained in all its
foolish, unwise or wicked acts by an unscru
pulous and venal press, is the worst curse that
could befall a constitutional government and
free people.
The evidence of this is complete in the pre
sent condition of our unhappy country.
Every other safeguard of liberty haling been
stricken down--the _Constitution trampled upon,
the laws violated—all the functions of govern
ment vested in a single man, whose will is now
paramount to Constitution and laws, supreme
over the army, the navy and the Rational ju
diciary—there remains but °be barrier to des
potic sway—State Rights—and against that all
the power of the administration and all the
artillery of the Abolition press are now direc
ted. No, not quite all—for Greeley's batteries
are turned, for once, in the right direction.
When that citadel of Liberty falls, the nation
will be enslaved—no after effort can rescue it—
it will be hopelessly chained to the car of des
potic power, fallen from its high estate of free
dom and happiness forever.
The national administration, finding that it
can only carry out its nefarious and infer
nal policy of subjugation, emancipation and
confiscation by the total annihilation of
the reserved rights of the States, and
the establishment of an unrestricted consoli
dated central despotism, has issued e the order,
and the subsidized press is hurling its thun
ders against what it tends the odious heresy
of Calhoun. It uses this cunning device to
deceive the people, and betray them to their
own destruction. The State Rights contended
for by Calhoun were not the State Rights guar
anteed by the Constitution, and are not the State
Rights contended for by the Northern Demo
cracy. The former inevitably led to distur
bance of the harmony of our glorious system ;
the latter is a means, if not the only means,
of preserving it, The State Rights foiwhich
we contend are essential to the preservation of
the government as it was framed ; the State
Rights of Calhoun were destructive of that
government. The distinction is a broad as that
between darkness and light, and only those
who are blindly ignorant on. utterly unscru
pulous would confound them. Singularly
enough, the Abolitionists, who are now Or ob
literating all State Rights and in favor of a
o msolidatel central despotism, are the only
party in the North that ever advocated the
Calhoun theory and put it to a practical test.
We re-printed, only a few day ago, an edit=
torial article from the Tribune, in which Mr.
Greeley pronounced the onslaught of the ad
ministration press aninst the doctrine of Con
stitutional State Rights to be 44 the windy bosh
of leather-headed blockheads," and declared
that but for the existence of State Rights he
and his correspondent it would long since have
spent years in felon's cells, under (My enactedna
gond laws." Since then he has again recurred
LO the subject in the following paragraph:
"We have recently been impelled to rebuke
the flippant assumptions of certain writers and
speakers that ours is a consolidated or simple
nationality, wherein the States have no more
original, inherent power than the counties of
England or the departments of France. We
do not herein affirm the necessary superiority
of our Federal system over any of its rivals,
though we cherish strong convictions on that
point; we simply affirm that the system adop
ted by our fathers, and never yet repudiated
by their sons, is quite other than that conten
ded for by the Cincinnati Gazette [he might
have said the administration press generally]
and certain declaimers in Dr. Cheever's church.
If these gentlemen intend (with Gen. Butler)
to propose their form of government as an im
provement go be adopted hereafter, we are ready
at a fit season to consider its claims to public
favor ; but when they commend it as our ac
tual, existing framework, we are moved to re
pel the assumytion as at war with the most
conspicuous facts and hardly consistent with
~ .he possession of ordinary intelligence and
candor. The American people may possibly
choose hereafter to establish a consolidated or
pure nationality, but they certainly have not
yet done so."
What "the American people may possibly
choose hereafter" is not the question—it is
with the "actual, existing framework" of our
Government, which the administration and its
subsidized press are trying to overthrow, that
we have to do.
The doctrine of Mr. Calhoun must not be
confounded with the true doctrine of State
Rights. They are essentially different, and he
who undertakes to persuade the people that
they are one and the same, is either a fool or
a knave.
Mr. Calhoun, (says th9.Cincinnati Enquirer,)
taught the doctrine of nullification—the right
of a State, as such, to annul, as to itself, the
laws of Congress ; which nobody at this day
professes to sustain. Whether or not his pre
mises were correct, his conclusions were cer
tainly erroneous. Yet• the Calhoun doctrine has
been practiced upon in the North. It has been
practiced upon by no party so much as by the
Republican. Nullifying acts are to be found
upon the statute books of nearly every North
ern State, _passed by Republican majorities,
and upholden by Republican party and news
paper approval. These journals are therefore
disclaiming their own antecedents.
Mr. Calhoun's doctrine as to the rights of
the States in the Federal system was not cor
rect; but it does not, therefore, follow that
the States—or the people in them--have no
rights. Ile may have attached too much
im
portance to the mere political institutions and
too little to the people to whom institutions
owe their being, and for whose behoof they are
created. It is always proper to remember, in
discussions upon government that—to use an
expression of a celebrated British political wri
ter—" the people are the fountain and source
of power, and the end and object of govern
ment ;" that wherever there is a people there
is political power, which power they may exert
through institutions, if fitting instituthea
exist ; but which is not in any way shorn or
diminished through their absence. In other
words, that the power is the fact and the insti
tution only the incident, and that the right to
exert the one does in no way depend upon the
existence of the other.
The Constitution of the United States recog
nizes the States as distinct political entities,
whose integrity, in some sense, the Union is
bound to defend. Thus: "The United States
shall guarantee to every State a republican
form of government, and shall protect each of
them against invasion ; and on application of
the Legislature or of the Executive, against
domestic violence." Without the States as
such the Constitution - could net be carried into
effect; and the government would lapse for
the want of an essential ingredient. Thus :
u The Senate of the United States shall be com
posed of two Senators from each State, chosen by
the Legislature thereof." Without States, with
out their Legislatures, there could be no legal
Congress, and consequently no Constitutional
government; so that while the States are not
dependent upon the Union for their existence,
the Union is dependent upon the Sates ; and
consolidation, whether by force or by agree
ment, while it would annihilate the States,
would be equally fatal to the Constitution and
the form of government which it establishes.
u The powers not delegated to the United
States by the constitution, nor prohibited by
it to the States, are reserved to the States re
spectively or to the people." The powers of
the general government were delegated powers,
given to a central polity for particular purpo
ses ; and all those not delegated were reserved.
Reserved by whom ? By the institutions of
the States, so far as they had been reposed in
them by the people, and the remainder by the
people themselves.
Mr. Horace Greeley has become, to a certain
extent, the ehampi4in of the State Rights.—
While he disclaims the doctrine of State Rights
according to the "exaggerated Calhoun stamp,"
and now denies the rights of nullifioation and
secession, he utters wholesome truths concern
ing the notions of those who, taking advantage
of the preient disturbances, are laboring to
plant the seeds of a revolution in the govern
ment, wipe out the States, and place the entire
legislative and executive power of the nation
in the hands of Congress and the President.
Fanaticism, dangerous as it is, is not with
out ifs advantages. It led Mr. Greeley in the
right direction in respect to the doctrine of
State Rights. He found States and their re
served powers useful as affording him_protec
tion while he vended his philanthropy and
earned for his name a place in the catalogue of
"American Agitators and Reformers." Just
as far as it was convenient for him he sustains
the doctrine. He received as much light as
fell upon him through the medium of his own
experience ; and perhaps, under the circum
stances, the friends of State Rights, according
to the Constitution, ought to be thankful that
out of suoh a Nazareth so much that is com
mendable has come.
It is refreshing, therefore, to discover, even
in the organs of its own party, the dawn of a
better and truer doctrine. Like the riddle of
Samson, "out of the eater is comineforth
meat;" and the enemies of consolidation,
poweiless in themselves, are finding in the di
visions of the party in power, the foundation of
a hope that the Constitution is yet destined to
stand in its integrity, and that the better doc
trines of a better day will ultimately prevail.
NEWS OF THE. DAY.
There has been some severe fighting across
the Nansemond from Suffolk.' On Sunday mor
ning last a strong force, under the command
of Gens. Getty and Harlan and Cols. Dutton
and Stevens, consisting of the 103 d, 143 d, 170th,
144th and 89th New York,. 26th New Jersey,
13th New Hampshire, llth f 15th and 16th Con
necticut, the 13th Indiana, Battery L, the 7th
Massachusetts battery, and a detachment of
the New York mounted rifles, Col. Onderdonk,
crossed the Nansemond with the intention of
feeling the enemy and driving him from some
rifle pits from which an annoying fire has
been kept up upon our troops. The effort Wa3
entirely successful. After a severe action,
which continued through the whole afternoon,
the rebels were driven from their works with
considerable loss, and our troops slept on the
field they had so bravely won. The loss on
our side was pretty heavy, especially in woun
ded. Col. Ringgold, of the 103 d New York,
was mortally wounded. This reconnoissance
establishes the fact that the enemy are still in
force in front.
By the arrival of the U. S. steam transport
New England at New York from Hilton Head,
we learn that preparations were going on for
a second attack on Charleston. The frigate
Ironsides was to cross the bar on Saturday
last, and the Monitors on Monday. Probably
before this the bombardment of the forts has
commenced.
ST. Louts, May s.—Ffteen or twenty of the
most prominent secessionists of this city were
arrested to-day under General Curtis' recent
order.
Cnrcaoo, May 5, 1863.—A dispatch from
Cairo says the steamer Lady Franklin arrived
from Vicksburg on Thursday night last. She
reports that on that morning Gen. Sherman,
with a fleet of transports, accompanied by gun
boats, passed up the Yazoo and made an attack
on the rebel batteries. In the afternoon seve
ral more transports followed, with troops on
board. It was reported that General Sherman
l a nded precisely in the same place he did when
he made the former attack. Cannonading and
musketry were distinctly heard at Young's
Point on Thursday, till long after nightfall.
A gentleman who left New Carthage on
Wednesday last states that a very heavy force
of Gen. Grant's army has been landed on the
Mississippi side of the river, eight miles above
Grand Gulf, and that our gunboats had been
shelling the latter place for several days.
By telegraph yesterday afternoon :
CINCINNATI, May 6.—There was much ex
citement at Dayton all day yesterday over the
arrest of Vallandigham, and at dark a crowd
of five or six hundred men proceeded to the
Journal office and completely gutted the build
ing, and then set fire to it and burned it to the
ground. The fire communicated to the adjoin
ing buildings, and all the property from the
sonth end of the Phillip House to the middle
of the square was destroyed. All the telegraph
lines in the city have been cut, and a bridge
on the Xenia railroad is reported destroyed.—
At ten o'clock last night troops arrived from
Cincinnati and Columbus and succeeded in put
ting down the rioters. At half past eleven all
was quiet.
NEW YORK, May 6.—The steamship Austra
lasian, from Liverpool on the 25th, arrived this
morning. Important debates had taken place
in both Houses of Parliament relative to the
seizure of British ships in neutral waters, and
the protection granted by our Minister, Mr.
Adams, to Mexican traders. Many speakers
declared that such proceedings could not be
tolerated. Lord Palmerston said, simply, that
matters were bcing considered; but Earl Rus
sell said the seizure of the Dolphin and the
conduct of Mr, Adams 'would be represented
to the Washington Government for reirv,s.—
He is strongly urging attention to the action
of the Federal cruisers. The merits of the
Alexandria case were generally debated. Mr.
Cobden asserted that America had always acted
up to the principles of the foreign enlistment
act towards England, and he demanded that
England should act in a like spirit towards
America ; he denounced the 'ease of the Ala
bama, and said she should be seized, as the
only method to prevent such practices.
The Polish insurgents continued active.
The ship Punjaub, from Calcutta, had
arrived, at London. She was caphired by
the Confederate privateer Alabama on the
14th of March, but her cargo being British
she was released on giving a ransom bond of
$55,000. She brought twenty of the crew of
the brig John A. Parks, previously captured
by the Alabama. The ship Morning Star, also
captured by the Alabama, was released on giv
ing a ransom bond of $61,750.
M. Billautt bad spoken in the French Cham
ber, on the Polish question. He said the
Government could give no explanation which
might injure negotiations. The Government
was animated by the most cordial feeling for
the suffering Poles, and was convinced that
the Polish question was a European one, and
that the sympathies of all Europe must concur
in settling it.
WASHINGTON, May s.—Since Saturday nearly
3,000 rebel prisoners have been brought to
this city. Seven hundred and eighty arrived
here at 2 o'clock to-day, and were like their
predecessors marched to the Provost Marshal's
office under a strong guard. Thence they were
consigned to safe quarters. The number is
too large for convenient accommodations.
Additional prisoners are to be sent up from
the Rappahannock, making in all four thou
sand and over certainly in our hands. They
present a shabby appearance. The much
larger part are dressed in grey, the remainder
in brown, and generally with slouch hate.
Many of them have good substantial boots,
while others are nearly barefoot. Not a few,
instead of blankets, show that they have made
an extensive levy on carpets. The prisoners
are nearly all young men. Their appearance
in the streets excited much curiosity, but no
rude or offensive remarks were made by the
spectators.
Ambulances were busy both last night and to
day conveying the wounded from the Army of
the Potomac to the several hospitals.
LATEST FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
NEw Youic, May 6,--The Herald has received
the following account of the fight of Gen. Sedg
wick's corps with the enemy :
It appears that after the great slaughter of
Sunday Gen. Lee detached a large body of his
rebels to meet Sedgwick, and it is known that
Longstreet was also rapidly getting in Sedg
wick's rear. At the same time, early on Mon
day morning, large masses of rebels appeared
on the heights east of Fredericksburg, where
we had but a small force, having sent a large
portion to strengthen Sedgwick.
The position was relinquished after a short
resistance, having first removed all the guns.
Some fighting occurred above Fredericks
burg, which is believed to have been an un
successful attempt to prevent Longstreet from
moving up.
The rebels interposed no objection to our
holding Fredericksburg, which we still retain.
Gen. Sedgwick was hotly engaged all Mon
day, the rebels pressing him at all points.
Ills men were obliged to give way before the
overwhelming masses of the rebels, and his
discomfiture seemed certain, when a Vermont
brigade made a ferocious charge, repulsing
them and securing the safety of that portion
of the army.
The slaughter of the enemy near Banks'
Ford was perfectly horrible ; whole brigades
of rebels being literally wiped out.
Gen. Sedgwiek, however, recrossed the river
in the face of the enemy, after midnight, the
enemy raking our bridges with artillery, caus
ing great loss of life.
He succeeded in getting across in compara
tively good order, and marched immediately
to United States } l ord, to join Hooker's main
army.
