Abolition Justice.
Gen. Burnside sent a military spy fifty miles
into the country to catch Vallandigham talking
treason, arrested him in his own house at dead
of night-with a military squad in a loyal State,
dragged him without warrant before a mili
tary court, denied him the benefit of the civil
laws in a peaceful and law-abiding community,
sound him not guilty on the evidence, and sen
tenced him to two years exile on the Dr; Tor
tugas. The President approved but modified
the finding of the drum-head tribunal, to ban
ishment from the country—a punishment with
out precedent, unknown to the laws of the
land, and never heretofore in the history of a
free, people applied to an innocent and uncon
victed man. Such is Abolition justice.
The Tribune of the 16th says:
We believe and hold, moreover, that the
'President has always had power to accept the
etihmiseion of any revolted State to the Union,
and- (with the consent of the Senate) to remit
any penalties of confiscation or other disability
-which it hoe incurred by the rebellion. What
he will see fit to do in any supposable ease, we
have never inquired, and do not pretend to
know; but we do insist—for we hold it impera
tively necessary that Domocrats who may be
drafted shall understand and believe—that he
is not enslaved by his proclaination of freedom,
bat is to-day, ever has been and ever will be,
at perfect liberty to accept the submission of
the revolted States on whatever terms shall be
deemed by him consistent with the integrity,
the perpetuity and the honor of the United
States.
The Tribune has evidently come.to the con
:Ando' that the emancipation policy is a dead
failure, that the "nine hundred thousand" are
not to be had, and niggerism in general is lia
ble to a - sickly decline. Gteeloy's sagacity is
equal. to his cowardice. So they -go. Aboli
tionism is past praying for in.the affections of
the people; in twelve months it will be effec
-tually played out.
"Hoson, as - we understand, imperatively
requires onr government to guarantee liberty
and protection to every phis= who shall, be
cause of the proclamation of freedom, have
come over to ns from the enemy, and served,
or tried to serve, the National cause; but we
do-not feel that we are under equal obligation
-to those slaves who (most reluctantly, we doubt
not,) serve the rebel batteries at Vicksburg,
Pert Hudson, &c.—their masters watching
them from places of safety in the rear, ready
to shoot-down any one who shall Ilinch. We
-trust the progress and event of the war will se
cure liberty to all; but we think the obligation
-to these is not the same as the others."—Tri
une,
4.61 h.
What will Wendell Phillips and Garrison and
Miss Dickinson, Susan B. Anthony and the
Freeflovers and the Amalgamationists say to
that ? The dodge is worthy of the Tribune. But
when John Minorßotts,an unflinching Virginia
Unionist, -worth all the Greeleys and Sum
ners and Chandlers since the flood, lately de
manded his slaves, who had escaped into our
lines, from the government, on the plea of his
own loyalty, he got nothing for his pains. So
the rebel niggers are to be saved, and the Union
niggers are set free. The, fighting rebel will
keep his niggers, and the loyal Unionist makes
himself imartyr. Where will Abolition logic
And itself next ?
Ws think that just now, in all its depart
ments, civil and military, the administration
is its own worst enemy. Mr. Lincoln well ob
served in his message at . the opening of the
last cession of the nth Congress that this ad
ministration could not avoid making history.
How lamentable a fact it is that in all the vol
umes of history - which it has made there is .
scarcely a page that does not condemn it to
infamy. Had the - war been wisely conducted
we are satisfied that it might by this time have
been brought to a successful conclusion, the
authority of the Constitution re-established aLd
the Uaien restored.. As it is, we cannot see
that we are much farther advanced than we
were two years ago, and the sacrifice of blood
and treasure must go on until our rulers learn
wisdom or the whole country is exhausted and
ruined. Would to God that in "making history"
we had an administration of statesmen and
patriots who would be careful to make it of
each a character as to reflect honor 'Tod the
nation. As it is, the mountebanks and jug
glers at the head of affairs are playing a dirty
little game of party politics, and the history
they make is not such as the country can take
pride in. It- would be refreshing to see them
make one movement in the right direction_ one
patriotic effort to restore the old order of things
If we could see this we should not regret any
sacr if i ce that might be required. We know
that now the war cannot be stopped, that it
must go on, and our only anxiety is to see it
-.rigorously and wisely conducted, to ace our
.gellant soldiers well led—to see them conducted
,to gictories instead of defeats—to victories that
s will be substantial in their results, and bring
about at some day not very remote a peace in
_which * the whole people can rejoice—a peace
,that Will be at once honorable and lasting,
'binding tilde whole country together once more
in Union,
,pw-.11-y and prosperity.
The Abn 'titas boast that the slaves, if
Areplayed in our itemise, 6i will fight like ti
ere." We .b hate, have soldiers that will
if,bt men.
Vallandigham's Arreet—The Spirit of the
Public Prem.
The arrest and trial, by court martial, of Mr.
Vallandigham, continue to • attract more than
an ordinary share of popular attention in the
Northern, Eastern, and Northwestern States.
The principal journals to the eastward, Re
publican as well as Democratic, with one soli
tary exception—the .New York Times—have
spoken freely on the subject, in deprecation of
the course adopted by General Burnside. The
New York World, the Express, Hera', Tribune,
Post, and Journal of Commerce, all unite in re
garding his action in the matter as wrong in
principle and dangerous in practice. The New
York Post, in an article attributed-to the pen
of the senior editor, Mr. Bryant, whilst ac
knowledging the response of General Burnside
to the writ of habeas corpus to be "patriotic in
spirit and decided in its expressions of loy
alty," thinks that it expresses "dangerous
fallacies which ought to be exposed." The
P o st doubts whether the operation of martial
law can be extended beyond the limits of the
field of active military operation, or that it em
braces civilians 'within its scope. "When,"
says the Post, "domestic turbulence and riot
prevent the exercise of the ordinary jurisdic
tion ; when the presence of contending armies
drives out the inhabitants ; when the behests
of law are set at naught by an entire district,
there is occasion for the strong hand of mili
tary power. But in other social conditions the
appeal to it is unnecessary, and, in all proba
bility, hurtful." The Post asserts that Mr.
Vallandigham has neither committed an overt
act of treason, nor resisted the laws ; that "no
governments and no authorities are to be held
as above criticism, or even denunciation," and
that there is no other way of correcting their
faults or restraining their tyrannies "than by
open and bold discussion." The question is
then pertinently asked—"lf Vallandigham's
peace noneense is treasonable, may not Gree
ley's be equally so ? If he cannot arraign
the conduct of the war, can Mr. Schalk, who
has written a book on strategy which is the
severest arraignment of it yet printed ? If he
may not question the propriety of Burnside's
orders, slay the Etenigg Post, or a thousand
other journals, venture to hint a doubt of the
superhuman abilities of General Ralleck ?"
In brief, the Post disapproves of any infringe
ment of the liberty of speech or of the press,
and regards the arrest of Mr. Vallandigham,
not only as unconstitutional, but as setting a
dangerous precedent.
•The Post, however, seems to forget if this
measure is wrong, as that journal assumes it
to be, the precedent was set long since,
although no protesting voice was heard till
now. The Boston Courier, in discussing the
subject, boldly says that Mr. Vallandigham
"has been unlawfully arrested, and has been
put on trial before an unlawful commission ;"
that the charges against him "are of no conse
quence, considering that the whole proceeding
is illegal, violent, and of a character which, if
submitted to, lays civil liberty a murdered
victim in the dust. The people," adds the
Courier, "are fully conscious of their own
strength, and cannot be trampled under foot.
84-they respect law and love order, and de
sire nothing but the right which belongs to
them to. express their political opinions by
speech' and by untrammelled action at the
ballot box." The New York Tribune, whilst
treating the matter of the arrest in a spirit
which is intended to be jocose, but which is
nothing but a muddle of impertinence, re
marks, nevertheless, in a semi-lucid interval,
that "our Federal and State Constitutions do
not recognize perverse opinions and unpatri
otic speeches as grounds of infliction," and
"we don't exactly see how Mr. V. is to be law
fully punished for making a bad speech."
"The Finest Army on the Planet. 77
"The finest army on the planet" has re
orosaad the Rappahannock, and holds the en
emy at bay from its entrenchments. Hooker's
eulogy did not say too much—that was "the
finest army on the planet" which crossed in
pride and strength the memorable river which
has now twice proven the Rubicon of our
hopes. There were veterans in that army who
had fought the good fight on many blood
stained fields, who marched many a weary mile
of the Peninsula and gallantiy, inch by inch,
crept onward to the rebel citadel undaunted
by hardship or defeat, who shed their blood in
the valley of the Shenandoah, and hurled their
impetuous might upon the strongholds of
Fredericksburg. There wore regiments of
fighting men whose banners had borne alike
the inscription of many a victory and repulse
up to the dread hour of the last and fiercest
struggle of them all. There were men to whom
the pomp and pageantry of war was new, and
every emotion fresh and strange. It was a
great army, finely chosen and equipped, with
horse and foot and all the enginery of death
—a hundred and fifty thousand souls who
crossed that river in their strength, to do bat
tle in the desperate encounter. But the fate
of war had predestined their defeat, and all the
hosts that splendid army marshalled to the field
of blood have been baffled and discomfited ; the
tide of battle has flowed 'tack and left alone
the carnage of ton thousand lives to tell the
tale.
"None linger now upon the plain.
Save those who ne'er shall fight again
Well may we say, All has been lost but
honor. It is wise to think on words like
those after the tidings now saddening the
heart of the natiou, Let that reflection
rest, as well it may, in all our minds, when
we deplore the evil fortune which has
made us mourn the day of our disaster.—
While we cherish the memory of their brave
deeds, let us remember only how "the finest
army on the planet," in losing much, lost all
but honor; let us hope, as well, the day is not
far distant when, inspired by the genius which
can lead it back to the long career of former
victories, we may forget the sad reflections
which press upon us now.
Hon. John J. Crittendon has been re-nomi
nated for Congress. He made a speech in
Frankfort a few days since, in which he said
he was still. for the prosecution of the war,
notwithstanding the obnoxious acts concerning
confiscation, emancipation, and negro soldiers.
lie was for its prosecution without an &ITU&
nee and regardless of foreign intervention, till
the rebellion is crushed.
He that has no resources of mind is more to
be pitied than he who is in want of necessaries
for the body ; and to be obliged to beg our
daily happiness from others, bespeaks a more
lamentable poverty than that of him who begs
his daily bread.—Colton.
For the Patriot and Union.
DR. KEYSTONE'S CONVERSATIONS—No. 5.
On last Sunday evening I dropped into the
Doctor's room, and found him engaged in a
little game of 66 seven up," with a certain loyal
Deacon, whose ancestors took a prominent
part in the war of the Revolution, having been
purchased by King George to slaughter our
forefathers at the moderate sum of sixpence a
day to each man. The Deacon is naturally
proud of the military achievements of his
grand-parents; and although destitute of taste
for the profession of arms, imitates those
worthy persons by selling himself cheap and
plundering. vigorously wherever he gets a
chance. As I entered I observed that: a little
ill-feeling had sprung up between the Doctor
and the Deacon. The former was loudly ac
cusing the latter of cheating, a charge which the
Deacon repelled with a stentorian voice and
inimitable hardihood of expression. The Dea
con urged that in these times, when the Gov
ernment was engaged in the effort to put down
a gigantic and hell-born rebellion, dissensions
among loyal men should be avoided, inasmuch
as they weakened the cause and rejoiced the
Copperheads. "Sir," sail the Doctor, sternly
gazing into miserable visage of his friend, who
looked very much as his Hessian grandfather
might have done emerging from some hencoop
after a fruitless feel after rebel eggs. Sir, that
kind of stuff may do for the newspapers, but
it won't go down with me. If you want to
steal, sir, steal from the Government, put your
fingers into the public purse, sir, youv'e had
them there often enough to know the road, but
don't come plundering me, sir. Shell out that
greenback without any delay. Pm willing to
see cheating when it is fairly done. I'll help
to cheat soldiers, and their wives and brats, to
cheat the treasury, or do any other kind of le
gitimate cheating, but I won't cheat my own
cronies, at `seven-up,' and I'd have you know
I won't stand being cheated either.' .
The Deacon with slow and reluctant hand,
drew from his bosom three sheets of postage
stamps, and handing them to the Doctor, asked
him to accept them as a gift, and make friends.
The venerable man having ascertained the val
ue of the stamps to be nine dollars, stretched
out hiehand and gave his frienda cordial shake.
"But you're robbing yourself," said the Doctor, af
ter the first emotions of gratitude had subsi
ded. "Oh ! not bad," rejoined,the Deacon with
a knowing wink, and crafty smile, "they're
Legislative." "Ha," said the . Doctor growing
facetious as he buttoned the stamps in his time
worn pocket-book, "they're Stale affairs, hey ?
Bagged 'em, did you ? "Well Hesh," continued
the sage, (Hesh being an endearing diminutive
having playful allusion to the Deacon's fore
fathers,) "well Hesh, a man that steals adhe
sive stamps may he said to be coming a sort of
gum game on the State, mayn't he ? Hey ?" The
Doctor gave a hearty laugh after this flash of
of wit, although the Deacon lopked somewhat
glum and unappreciative, The two friends
then took a heavy pull at the jug, and contin
ued the game.
The Doctor seemed soothed by this refresh
ment and took another drink. It was now
waning late, and I bade the two loyalists a
good night. As I descended the stairs, I heard
a loud altercation rising in the Doctor's room,
and paused for a moment to listen. Finding
that it was only a little miff between the friends
growing out of the fact that the Doctor having
missed his pocket book, had accused the Dea
con of purloining it, I went on my way rejoi
cing.

NEWS OF THE DAY
READING, May 16.—About 4 o'clock this
afternoon a fire broke out in the foundry and
scale works of Moore it De Hart, situated on
Cherry alley below Fourth street, the flames
extending to and consuming four small dwel
lings and several frame stables. The sparks
from the latter fell on the roofs of dwellings on
Washington street, and set fire to and totally
burnt out five more dwellings, with a great
part of their contents. It was feared at one
time that our city would suffer to a great ex
tent, owing to the high wind which was prevail
ing at the time. The loss amounted to about
$50,000.
WASHINGTON, May 16.—There is no truth in
the alleged threatening movement of Mosby's
rebel cavalry in Loudoun county, Virginia.—
They number but 150 men„ and no raid on the
Baltimore and Ohio, or any other railroad, is
probable or indeed possible.
The fact that both officers and men, to a
ccneiderable number. daily arrive froth the
Rappahannock and proceed to their homes on
leaves of absence, is regarded as an additional
indication that the army will not immediately
make a movement against the enemy. Gen.
Hooker's purposes and the designs of the Gov
ernment in contiectiou with the war, so far as
the Army of the Potomac is concerned, are, in the
absence of facts, mere matters of conjecture.
Hence there is no reliance to be placed in ru
mors concerning them.
CINCINNATI, May 16.—The writ of habeas
corpus applied for in the Vallandigham case
has been refused.
The Raining items 9f news have been cul
led from rebel sources :

NEW YORK, May Matamoras letter of
April 281 h, says: «It is understood that the
schooners Gen. Pinckney and West Florida are
fitting out as privateers at Brazos, and only
waiting crews. Gen. Magruder has been at
Brownsville for some weeks. The citizens of
that place gave him a splendid ball."
By telegraph yesterday :
New Yonx, May 17.—Steamer George Wash
ington, from New Orleans, with dates to the
10th, arrived at noon. Among her passengers
is Col. Jonas 11. French.
An Opelousas letter of the sth states that
information had been received from Grand Gulf
and the gunboat fleet under Admiral Porter,
with the details of the capture of Grand Gulf
and Port Gibson by Gen. Osterhaus. ,
When the latter was nearing Port Gibson,
he was met by hundrds of families fleeing from
the interior to escape the raid of the Illinois
cavalry, under Gen. Grierson, and the preva
lent opinion among the secesh was that Pert
Gibson was the safest place in that region.
The damage done by our cavalry raid is ir
reparable. It was rumored at Opelousas that
Port Hudson was evacuated.
Lieutenant Colonel A. C. Hill, editor of the
Era, had been placed under arrest for having
allowed a questionable article to be published
in that paper. John E. Hayes and T. P. Tracy,
of the Era, have been expelled from New Or
leans for writing and publishing the same ar
ticle.
Quite an excitement occurred on the evening
of the 7th at the opera, occasioned by the au
dience demanding that the national airs should
be played, but nothing serious resulted.
Gen. Sherman halt ordered that all places
shall hereafter submit their programme to
the provost marshal prior to the performance,
and suggesting that the National airs he
played.
The Era of the 10th mentions a rumor that
Port Hudson was bombarded by our fleet on
the night of the Bth and all day on the 9th.—
Col. Grierson had arrived at New (Means, and
been presented by the Unionists 'with a mag
nifiicent charger.
'Admiral Farragut arrived at New Orleans on
the afternoon of Saturday,the 9th, from Brash
ear city. The Admiral and his officers left the
flagship on Red river. They bring important
intelligence that Alexandria was captured on
the 6th by Admiral Porter and a portion of
Farragut's fleet. Prior to the capture of Alex
andria Fort Redussey, on the Red river, was
demolished, after a fight, and a rebel gtineoat
was also captured.
The advance cavalry of Brig. Gen. Dwight
dashed into the place, thus forming &junction
with Admiral Farragut's and General Banks'
forces.
Opelousas dates of the oth state that our
army was then on the march. Gen. Dwight's
brigade was then supposed to be in Alexandria,
and Gens. Emory, Weitzel and Grover were
close behind with their forces.
A Baton Rouge letter of the 2d of May, states
that Col. Grierson's force, the Sixth and Sev
enth Illinois cavalry and battery, numbering
some 900 men, followed by several hundred
negroes, rode into that city on that day. They
left La Grange on April 16th and burned the
rebel stores and rebel depot at Okolono, the
depot and two heavily laden freight and com
missary trains, and an ordnance train at New
ton, on the Charleston and Vicksburg railroad.
The ordnance train contained 3,000 loaded
shells for the Vicksburg batteries, which ex
ploded. From Newton they followed the rail
road to Meridian, burning all the bridges ;
thence south on the Mobile and Ohio railroad
to Enterprise, where they destroyed the rebel
ordnance works ; then back to Newton, and
burned all the bridges from thence to Jackson,
including the great bridge over Pearl river,
and near Jackson tore up ten miles of track ;
thence they followed the Jackson and New
Orleans railroad south to the Louisiana line.
A rebel force of 5,000 at Clinton was eva
ded by making a circuit around them, our
forces destroying their camp equippage, stores,
&c., capturing MO prisoners. While crossing
a branch of the Amite river, Lieut. Col. Black
burn was severely wounded, and left in the
hands of the enemy. They crossed the Amite
river on the morning of the Ist, eleven miles
from Baton Rouge, captured a rebel cavalry
picket of 16 men and horses, burned Captain
Wetherbee's house, captured his horses, and
then rode into Baton Rouge, looking rough but
in good condition. Every railroad in Missis
sippi has been cut by them. They have sup
plied themselves with fresh horses on the
route, and brought in over 300 contrabands
en horses, and nearly all of the latter also lead
ing horses.
The Era of the 9th gives the particulars of
the burning of the United States sloop of war
Preble at Pensacola, April 27th. She took
fire accidentally, from an open light being
carried into the store room. All hands were
saved. The Preble after burning a number of
hours blew up with a terrific explosion.
The United States gunboat Kanawha had
captured two schooners and drove another
ashore in Perdido Inlet. All were blockade
runners, and one, niined The Eagle, had made
five or six successful trips.
WASHINGTON, May is reported today .
that every available soldier now on detailed
service in and around Washington, Baltimore,
and on all railroads in Virginia and Maryland,
will be forwarded to Hooker's command, and
their places supplied by Pennsylvania militia,
which it is said have been tendered by Gov.
Curtin.
NEW YORK, May 17.—The steamer Corsica,
from Havana on the 9th and Nassau on the
12th, has arrived.
The Nassau papers contain nothing new.
The following British neutral blockade , run.
ners cleared : May 7th, the Brittania and Em
ma; May Bth, the pet and Norseman; May 9th,
the Autonica, Victory, Calypso, and Banshee ;
all for some Southern port, by the seeesh firm
of Adderly S, Co., except the Brittania, which
was cleared by Louder & Sons.
DESIGNS OF THE RADICALS.-PEACE WITH
THE SOUTH-REVOLUTION AT THE ORTII.-By
a telegraphic dispatch from Washington which
we published yesterday, we learn that a clique
of Philadelphia politicians calling themselves
"Loyal Leaguers," but better deserving the
epithet of Royal Leaguers, headed by Morton
M'Michael and Mayor Gilpin, had arrived at
Washington, and that Senators Wade and
Chandler and Mr. Forney are their invited
guests. The object of the visit and the caucus
is to organize forces for the busking up all
political organizations in the loyal States hos
tile to the Republican party and for the sup
pression of every sentiment that is not in strict
accordance with the ideas of the radicals. The
new movement is to begin in Philadelphia: but
it is to be soon extended to other cities and lo
calities_ It is evident that the design of the
Abolitionists is to create an insurrection in the
North, in order to obtain an excuse for making
peace with the South. With the generals and
the means they are employing they are unable
MSS NS
to put down the Southern rebellion, which was
produced by the anti-slavery quegion, as was
stated a few days ago by George Downing, the
negro oysterman, at the Abolition convention
in this city, and tacitly admitted by Garrison,
Wendell Phillips, Greeley and all the leaders
present. And now they propose to foment
another rebellion at the North by the suppres
sion of free speech. But, let them beware,
lest, like Frankenstein. they raise another
monster which they cannot quell.—New York
Herald.

MASTIC WORKER
PRACTICAL CEMENTER,
Is prepared to Ceinent the exterior of Buildings with
the New York Improved
Water-Proof Mastic Cement.
This Material is different from all other Cements.
It forms a solid, durable adhesiveness to any surface,
imperishable by the action of water or frost. Every
good building should be coated with this Cement' ; it is
a perfect preserver to the walls, and makes a beautiful,
tine finish, equal to Eastern brown sandstone, or any
color desired.
Among others for wbom I have applied the Mastic
Cement, I refer to the following gentlemen :
• I. Bissell, residence, Penn street, Pittsburg, finished
five years.
J. H. Shoenberger, residence, Lawrenceville, finished
