None were allowed to pass excepting connected
with The Aye Office, er the Post-office ; and
this strange appearance of matters was novel
for Chestnut street. Window panes in the
front door were smashed in, and a generarl
attack upon the building threatened and pro
perly provided for; but, although every effort
was made up to midnight to create a more
general furore than existed, and instigate an
attack, the attempt 'failed, and at this hour,
(midnight) all is comparatively quiet. Hun
dreds of personal and political friends of the
proprietors visited the office during the after
noon and night.
During the afternoon, at frequent intervals,
demands were clamorously made to ~ put oat
the flag." The Age has constantly floating,
in fair weather, the flag of the Union, but to
a demimd for its display, thus made, no atten
tion was paid.
We forbear to make any comment in this
local column upon this new attempt to sup
press the liberties of journalists in this city,
and perhaps to incite to riot and bloodshed,
but the general reader can best judge from the
facts presented how long such a stated of things
can be safely allowed to e4ist, and how far
smch'an infringement of private rights can be
endured.

False Dispatches.
The dispatch which we iteceived yesterday
by telegraph, purporting to be taken from the
Sunday Dispatch newspaper, and published
elsewhere, is pronounced entirely unfounded
by a gentleman whose public position enables
him to know almost everything connected with
the movements of our armies, and entitles him
to the fullest credit: We do not know why it
is that false information is permitted to be
Sashed. over the wires, while the truth is stu.
dionsly withheld. We regret exceedingly that
we were imposed upon, and still more that,
- through the bulletin which we issued, any
portion of the public should have been de
ceived and excited by false intelligence. The
gentleman to whom we have referred informed
us that Hooker had not recrossed the Potomac up
to Sunday morning, and consequently the dis
patch to that effect is a hoax played off on the
public through the agency of the telegraph_
The report that Gen. Keyes has taken Rich
mond is also false.
A Sensible Opinion.
A day or twb since, ivhen the accounts from
Hooker'ti army were rather favorable, but still
a little mixed, the Pittsburg Chronicle gave its
readers the benefit of the following sage opin
ion :
"If all accounts be true, our commander ap
pests to be cool, wary, fertile in resources, and
perfect master of the situation, and if he can
only keep Lee from receiving ammunition and rein
forcements, and can keep himself - abundantly sup
plied with both, there need be no fear, although
there may be much anxiety for the result."
This is almost equal to the Telegraph's pro
found remarks on Burnside's strategy, as de
veloped immediately preceding the fatal battle
of Fredericksburg. The Telegraph understood
it clearly, and prophesied that, it it proved
'successful, we should gain a great victory
&tart fellows, these. Abolition editors.
The Great Struggle;
The London Times recently said :
"In common with the whole civilized world,
we have done justice to the immense efforts
suddenly made by the two parties in the Ti
tanic struggle now raging across the Atlantic.
It is not without some pride in the indomitable
energies and inexhaustible resources of our
race Thai we see two great Anglo-Saxon'Pow
ere waging a war as if they had been half a
century in training and preparation. It is
but two years since the first shot was fired, and
they have surpassed the old world in the terri
ble results which measure the ptoportions and
intensity of war."
Yea, it is a grand, a terrible, an unexampled
war. The world never knew another of equal
dimensions and determination on both sides.
It will be fortunate for us should the final
results be proportionate to the immense outlay
of blood and treasure it will have cost to con
duct it to a solid peace.
Worth Trying-
There is no disease except, perhaps, small
pox and malignant scarlet fever, that parents
dread so much as croup,. The following rem
edy, a Mexican correspondent of a New York
paper says, is practiced with great emcees in
that country, where the disease seems to pre
vail 16 a greater extent than in this. The cor
respondent says: .
Creep continues its ravages, though we now
have it in our power-to check it, thanks to a
valuable discovery, which has proved of ines
timable value in the treatment of this disease. This medy, siii I find in the &filo, is balsam
of e iba, either alone or mixed, according
hi t se
es t may require, with a certain quan
tity a atoms. I am told it . has invariably
effected a cure; and since it ought to be known
wherever cues of croup occur, I will give ycu
in my next letter, if possible, the required
doses, with the time and manner of adminis
tering it. .
The properties of coftaiha are well known—
storam is a plant, the gem of which we pre-
EiUMe Fla gtlk Oa in obtained at any
apothecary shop; and. as to the proportion in
which they should be used, the quantity to be
given, and the time and manner of administer
ing the remedy, these could be ascertained by
practice and the exercise of sound judgment.
Under the direction of a physician the remedy,
we think, would be worth trying.
Chase and Seward—lnfluence of the Lat
ter over Lincoln, and the Reason.
These two distinguished aspirants for the
next Presdency have already commenced a
clandestine war. Each has, in New York, at
least, a Union League' organized and opera
ting in his interest and against the interest
of his opponent. Ne doubt there are, in other
places, similar opposing Leagues, but as to
New York, the fact we believe is 'admitted,
The'peess is also divided in the same way, the
Tribune opposing and the Times sustaining the
interest of Mt. Seward. The Herald, by fits
and starts, exhibits symptoms of Sewardism,
but its course ultimately will depend upon the
considerations offered for its services. As a
fair offset to the Herald's present affinities to
Sewardism, we have the Spirit of the Times—
the organ of the sporting gentry, the favorite
paper of the prize ring, the cockpit, the deg
kennel and the race course, edited by that
prince of blacklegs and blackguards, Mr.
George Wilkes—actively engaged, under the
auspices, it is said, of the Chase League, in
furthering the aspirations of that g entleman.
,
We have as authority for this that very re
spectable journal the Boston (Abolition) Ad
vertiser, the reliability of which will not be
disputed by either faction of the belligerents.
This point settled, it follows that whatever
political revelations Mr. Wilkes makes in the
course of the controversy are based upon in
formation derived from leading, active mem.
bers of the League, men whose position opens
to• them avenues to knowledge closed against
ethers, and that, therefore, they are entitled
to at least until contradicted by au
thority equally respectable.
We cannot, looking at in this view, be mis
_taken in the opinion that the following reve
lations—new to us, if not to others—will be
read with interest by politicians of all parties
and classes. The Spirit of the Times says :
Mr. Seward exercises an undue influence
over Mr. Lincoln. He not only controls the
entire foreign policy of the government, but
with the exception of the Treasury, (there it is !
Express,) dictates the leading action of all the
other bureaux. He appoints and discharges
generals with the same license he accredits ,
roving diplomats, and orders retreats or re
laxations of blockade with as much apparent
sanction as he flings off a, cerulean dispatch.
When the other ministers have been asked, by
uneasy and apprehensive friends, what meant
this or that apparent contradiction or torpor
in the rationale of their machinery, they have
shrngged.their shoulders with "it's no fault
of mine," but have always looked meaningly
toward the State Department. At length, even
the Senate took alarm. Many of them remon
strated earnestly with Mr. Lincoln, endeavored
to point out to him the fatal fallacies of Mr.
Seward's course, and warn him where, unless
a new and more vigorous policy were adopted,
the country muat inevitably bring up. But all
was of no avail. Those who the President
could not disp - me of with ajoke were resisted
by an impertinbable silence; and mazy of his
eldest,' ablest friends left the presence puzzled
to know what had ,'Educed that usually clear
minded man to such an apparent' state of imbe
cility. One thing, however, was evident to all,
and that.was that Mr. Seward was imperial.
But at the same time it was 'evident that Mr.
Lincoln was the victim of a spell.
What had brought this about,. and what sus
tained such a deplorable infatuation of the
President for his chief Secretary, became a
riddle that was frequently discussed in sena
torial and diplmnatic circles; and what made
the matter. diffloult indeed, was, that the Pre
sident's sagacity and peculiar alertness of
mind remained unimpaired on minor matters,
and his habit of direction never yielded, ex
cept when it c*me in Contact with the will of
Seward.
[This "riddle" Wilkes thus solves.]
All who are in the least conversant with
the political history of the times will recollect
that for a long while after the nomination of
Mr. Lincoln, it was a serious question among
the Reptiblican leaders, if he could be elected.
The chief point of the doubt was, whether Mr.
Seward, who had retired from the Chicago
convention seething with revenge, could be in
duced to come out to the support of Mr. Lin
coln's nomination ; and it was conceded, even
by the most sanguine friends of the nominee,
that unless Seward not only frankly endorsed,
but openly took the stump for it, the election,
in the then distracted conditon of the country,
would go, inevitably, to the " House." For a
long while, however, Seward remained inexo
rably sullen. None of his friends dare ap
approach him on the subject. of conciliation,
and the extremest feeling of ' concern, nay, of
dejection, prevailed among all who had flattered
themselves with the abundant spoils of office
Nowhere was the gloom more deep than in
the immediate camp of Mr. Lincoln, and while
things were apparently thus, at the worst, a
certain distinguished orator was requested by
Mr. L. to " take the stump for the campaign."
"'Will Seward support you ?" said the gentle
man. "He will," said Mr. L. "Will he openly
take the stump for you throughout the cam
paign ?" said tae gentleman. "He will," said
Mr. L. "What assurance have you that he
will ?" returned the inquirer, " for unless he
does so, vieorouely and in good faith, you will
be defeated ; and I must frankly tell you I cat -
not afford to wreck myself in a hopeless ef
fort l" "I am perfectly satisfied he will sup
port me in good faith," said Mr. Lincoln.—
" Have ycu seen Thurlow Weed ?" said the
persistent questioner. I have, " said
bfr. Linioln. " Well, is he satisfied ?" con
scious that he had now arrived at the climax
of the inquiry. " Gel knows he ought to be."
replied Mr. Lincoln in a tone tinged deeply
with dejection. "Then," said the gentleman,
" you can win; and I am ready to take off my
coat for the campaign."
This is the substance of an interview which
will not be denied; and it is put the forerunner
of revelations which will come hereafter. By
those who are skilled in politics, it will be sup
posed thaf Thurlow Weed must have departed
with some paper, and that in the desperation of
that hour, the sceptre of the government passed
from the hands of the President presumptive,
into those of Seward.
Rev. Ed. Cheever grotesquely likens Horace
Greeley to an old, absent-minded, snuff-taking
Edinburg preacher, who going two miles to his
church one Sunday in the face of a biting wind,
turned round with his back to the driving ele
ment, while be could take a pinch of snuff, and,
forgetting himself, went back towards his
house, leaving the expectant flock to wondtr
at the nen-appearance. of their shepherd.—Ex
change.
We can liken Dr:Cheever to nothing . else
than the Devil, "{ping about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he may devour." And of
such are now the whole radical church. They
cover the hearts of demons with the cloak of
Chris:ianil. Better, far better to be like the
"Edinburg preacher," who, in a fit of absent
mindedness, went towards his home instead of
the church, than—like Cheever and Beecher,
and others of like Satanic natures—go towards
the church with heart and mind intent on ser
ving the Devil. Whatever Greeley may be, in
reality, he has appeared a better man to us
since be has fallen under the condemnation of
these apostate priests—these " whited sepul
chres."
For the Patriot and Union.
DR KEYSTONE'S CONVERSATIONS—No, 3.
A few days since the Doctor received from
Washington his month's wages as a govern
ment detective, and naturally felt a pleasing
satisfaction in the pletheriO Mae of his pocket;
The old gentleman is very fond of a glass of
old rye, and I found him seated beside a quart
jug, for which he had just exchanged a ten
cent note. He cast a shrewd and penetrating
glance at me as I entered, and observed, with
the crisp and homely humor for which he is
so remarkable :
"Won't you moisten your mucous with a
little red-eye ?"
I thought I had never seen a fitter Specimen
of honest and venerable age than the old gen
tleman presented as he handed me a green
tumbler and the jug. His nose, although sev
enty winters had whistled through it, glowed
with the red flush of health. His mind seemed
as active as ever, and the jug attested that,
though aged, he Was not out of spirits. Ills
little room seemed the very home and shrine
of loyalty. It was such a spot as Copper
heads would loathe to see. A neat lithograph
of President Lincoln, beautifully colored, With
the words, "The Second Washington," inscribed
under_ it in the Doctor's quaint handwriting,
hung over the mantlepiece. Beautiful wood
engravings, extracted from the pictorial news
papers, adorned the walls, representing Fred
erick Douglass, Abby Kelly, Horace Greeley,
Thomas. Chester, and other eminent sages and
patriots, black, white and piebald. A deck of
cards, with our national ensign emblazoned on
their backs, lay upon the table, and the mani
fest marks of frequent usage visible upon them
attested the Doctor's devotion to the old flag.
His library was small but well chosen, coast
ing of one of Sumner's speeches, Helper's
Impending Crisis, and a volume of eccentric
biography containing the strange adventures
of a certain young lady of great personal
charms and multitudinous suitorti. This
last work, which was handsomely illustrated,
the Doctor assured me was his favorite book—
partly on account of its intense interest, and
partly because it was a present from a loyal
friend in the book.selling line, who had selected
it from his up-stairs stock. A. few cigars of the
inferior brand known as "tobies" lay upon the
mantlepiece, indicating the homely tastes of
the good old man.
" Copperheads," said .the Doctor, as he
drained his fourth glass, his eye kindling with
patriotism, and hie face beaming with the
spirit of the genial beverage—" Copperheads,
sir, should be hung—they are enemies of the
government, sir—they are mercenary wretches,
who want office, and are mad because they
can't get itl—they lie damnably, sir." Here
the ;venerable sage moistened his reverend lips
at the jug. " They say, sir," said the Doctor,
catching, breath after hiiprotracted pull at the
rye, " that the administration is not the Gov
ernment. It is a lie, sir. What is the govern
ment ? They say it is the Constitution. Was
there ever such arrant nonsense, sir ? The
Constitution is nothing in God's world but a
string of paper, with a parcel of faded writing
on it. Burn it up, and, according to the
theory of the Copperheads, sir, you have burnt
up the Government."
The keen logic and forcible expression of
the sage, impressed me more than I can tell.
Indeed it is difficult to convey to paper a pic
ture of the workings of his mind, or to make
one unaccustomed to the fragrance of bar
rooms understand the atmosphere into which
you felt yourself lifted as you entered his
attic.
" Sir," continued the Doctor, having again
irrigated his drouthy and loyal throat,
"these sympathizers, these festering, loath ,
some, damned Copperheads, conspire against
what ? Against the best government the world
ever saw, sir. And they have the infernal
impudence to say that the Constitution is the
government, and that our patriotic and righteous
rulers, the noble Lincoln, the wise Stanton,
the vigorous and energetic Welles, and Hard-
Money Chase, are not the government. Oh,
no ! forsooth, only the administration, sir. You
might as well say, sir, that that jug was intoxi
cating, sir, and that the whisky, because it
could be emptied out periodically, was a harm
less and powerless beverage, sir. Sir, the jug
represents the constitution. It is useftil be
cause it holds the whisky, and the Constitu
tion is useful because it maintains the admini
stration. The Constitution without an admini
stration to execute it would be a dead letter.
The jug, sir, without its whisky, would be
an idle encumberance on the shelf. But the
whisky without the jug to hold it would be the
same healthy, invigorating and noble beverage,
and the administration without the cursed
Constitution to restrain it would be even more
wise and beneficent in its policy and behavior
than it has shown itself in the past. Sir, where
it is necessary to get at the whisky, we break
the Ay—where it is necessary to strengthen the
government, we smash the Constitution."
I never , was more struck with the Doctor's
wisdom and felicity of expression than on this
occasion. I wish ,that every copperhead in the
land could have, heard bim. I will report his
future conversations as they occur, satisfied
as I am that they will greatly serve th e lo t a
cause.. I left the good old man reclining on
the floor, where he had sunk either overpow
ered by his feelings, or crushed by the w e i g ht
of his ponderous logic.

Tun Tanneo:4 CASES TEEEE UNITED STATES
Crncurr Counx.—The spring term of the Uni
ted States Circuit Court convened yesterday,
and as the Government had signified its inten
tion of bringing to trial at the present term
those persons who have from time to time been
indicted for treason, an unusual number of
spectators were present, at the opening of the
court. Nothing was done yesterday, however.
His Honor Judge Gate stated that with the
present jury panel he expected to try those
cases which could not be disposed of without
the presence of his brother, Chief Justice
Taney—the treaeon cases among other things
—but in consequence of the panel not being
full, and the absence of the District Attorney,
he would adjourn the court until this morning,
at eleven o'clock. Col. George P. Kane, one

The more that is known of the expedition
of General Sten=ltn, the more numerous and
daring the exploits of his forces appear, and
the wider the range of his operations. One
detaChment went as far as Charlottsville, an

from a prisoner, was a pencilled note, endorsed
by a rebel surgeon in one of.the hospitals, ad
dressed to his wife, which stated the Confede
rate loss in the late battles at 18,000. The
figures may be true, but the authority, to say
the least, is rather doubtful.

been heard of—first, ten days ago, in Northern
Mississippi. He moved thence and struck the
railroad, thirty miles east•of Jaoksoirat apoint
called Newton's station. He then moved
southward towards Enterprise and demanded
the surrender of the place. He gave them an
hour's grace, during which Gen. Lormniey ar
rived. He left "at once and moved towarde
Hazlehurst, on the New Orleans and Jackson
railroad.
At this point he tore up the track, thence he
moved to Bahala, ten miles further South on
the same road ; thence eastward on the Natchez
road, where be had a fight with Wirt Adams's
cavalry.
From this point he moved back to the New
Orleans and Jackson railroad to Brookhaven,
ten miles south of Bahala.
When last heard from he was three miles
from Summit, ten miles south of the last named
point, and was supposed to be making his way
to Baton Rouge.
He had spread excitement throughout the
State, destroyed railroads, trestle-works and
bridges, burned locomotives and railaty stock,
and destroyed stock of all kinds. He also
took many prisoners. U. S. GRANT,

reconnoitering the old position held by him at
Chanrellorville, found that the enemy had
fallen back, leaving hundreds Of his wounded
behind and his dead unburied.
During the day the entire Army of the Po
tomac crossed the river with sixteen days ra
tions, and moving forward, deployed right and
left in search of the enemy, who was not to be
found in force up to eight o'clock this morn
ing.
A large number of stragglers have come into
our outpost.lines and given themselves up, ex
pressing their disgust with the rule of the rebel
Leaders.
These men ()confirm the published accounts
of the consternation created in Richmond by
Stoneman's raid.
Gen. Hooker informed Gen. Halleek that he
only needed active ce-operation frorn Generals
Peck and Keyes in a second advance, to render
the destruction of the rebel army and the cap
ture of Richmond certain.
The report that Richmond has been captured
by General Keys is not credited by the War
Department.
The President and General Hafleck, as well
as the members of the Cabinet, are in excellent
humor and very hopeful.
An inspection of the ground upon which the
late battle was fought, shows the desperation
of the rebels and their immense loss. Large
numbers of their dead and wounded are upon
the field.
In the wilderness,•where the fire took .place
from the shells from our batteries, a very large
number of charred remains have been found.
The sufferings Of the poor wretches must have
been terrible. •

ed why he was to be shot, and was told that it

ed when he would be shot, and asserted that

that the court martial had been held some time
ago. The prisoner stated that he had a. mother
living within the Federal lines, and *onld like
to have her sent for. After further remarks
between the two, the prisoner was sent & Fort
