PURPOSES OP THE WAR.
Congress, by a vote nearly unanimous, passed
the following resolution, which expresses the
voice of the Nation and is the true standard of
Loyalty:
" That the present deplorable civil war has been
forced upon the country by the diannionists of the
Southern States, now in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms around the Capital; that in
this National emergency, Congress, banishing all feel.
ing of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only
its duty to the whole country; that this tray is not
ward on their part in any spirit of oppression, or fir
any purpose of conquest or subjugation, Sr purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established
institutions •of those States,biet to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution. and to preserve the
Mann, With all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States 'unimpaired; and that as soon as theje ob
jects are accomplished the war ought to cease."

Court News.
A Paris letter reports the Emperor looking
well, and rumor whispers that the Empres is
in an "interesting situation."
Our own Court gossips represent the man of
dictatorial powers, Abraham the First, as in
the enjoyment of excellent health, jolly as
usual, and Cull of anecdote as an egg is of
meat. Madame 'Lincoln is getting ready for
her northern trip. How the heir apparent
proposei to spend the summer months we have
not yet been informed. The country will be
glad to hear that the " second father of his
country" and all his household are comforta
ble. May their shadows never be less.
Seward's Bell.
The Philadelphia .Erening Journal affirms
that the language, "My .Lord I .can touch a
bell" &e., attributed to Secretary Seward, is
to be found " in an nfficial dispatch of Lord
Lyons to Earl Russell, dated Nov. 14th, 1861,
published in the Parliamentary Blue Book,
and copied into the New York Times of March
let, 1862." We have neither the Bine Book
nor the Times at hand to refer to, but the Lan
caster Express of May SO, denies the statement.
As we copied from the Journal, we should
feel under obligations to our contemporary for
-further information on the subject. It is not
-our purpose to misrepresent any one, and if
we have unwittingly done. 'injustice to Mr.
Seward by anything we have published, we
should be glad to remedy it as far as it lies in
our power to do so.
ronnevs Washington Chronicle, in reference
to the approaching election in Maryland, says:
" In truth the loyalists of the city of Balti
more scat not permit DOUBTFUL msn to appear at
the polls ; and we anticipate that the coming
election will show that in that State a number of
avowed Republicans have been chosen taoffiee."
Why, yes—if the Republicans of Baltimore
can keep all others from the polls, of course,
in that district, they will elect Republicans—
and so of the other districts. Who, pray, are
considered "doubtful men ?" In Pennsylvania
-die flunkeys of the administration, the ruling
spirits of the Woolly Heads, the thieves who
kave grown .plethoric on plunder, and . those
who live.in.ataticipation of doing so, consider
all Annocrats-"doubtful men," (as we presume
:5 the case-in Maryland,) and if they ON> to be
kept from the polls by the "loyalists," the
Abolitionists will fins no difficulty in carrying
both States. We have no doubt such is the
design. Can it be -carried out ?
Vzinandigham Meeting at Newark, N. J.
A large meeting of the Democracy of New
Jersey was held at Newark on Saturday last,
ex.prose their sentiments in defence *of con
stitutional freedom, assailed by a military com
mander and court in the person of C. L. Val
landigham. The meeting was numerously at
tended ; spirited. Letters from Governor Par
ker, Gen. Fitz John Porter, and other distin
guished men were read, impressive speeches
were delivered and appropriate resolutions
adopted. Shortly after the meeting was or
ganized two companies of soldiers, with fixed
bayonets, their guns it is said loaded, were
marched upon the ground and took position so
that by a quick movement the meeting could
have been cut apart. Some of them were openly
for charging the platforms and tearing dow n
the flags, "but the majority maintained a sor
rowful silence, as though indignant at the part
they were called upon to play." What might
have been the result it is hard to say,. but just
at the juncture whoa some were disposed to be
aggressive, Mayor Bigelow appeared on the
ground, accompanied by the sheriff of the
county, and informed the commanding officer
that they would 'attend to keeping the peace,
and that unless the soldiers were withdrawn
the first regiment of the National Guard would
be called out to eject them. Upon this hint
they shortly afterwards withdrew,
Farman of Pennsylvania, what think you
of dm Abolition military displays? Are
rot they ominous! Let the warning go forth,
d' Be Mae, !"
Unconditional Loyalty.
We have on several occasions given the
Philadelphia Bulletin the benefit of a re-publi
cation of extracts from some of its most extra
ordinary editorials—not because it is by any
means an able journal, but because it is a bold
one, and gives us in plain terms what the
presses of greater ability and charaoler en
gaged in the same crusade against Constitu
tional freedom and the established form of
government, but gently hint at. In the Bulle
tin of May 30, under the caption which we
have chosen for this article, we find an edito
rial of more than usual atrocity, modified only
by the ignorance and recklessness which are
marked characteristics of every thing origi
nal which appears in its columns. We give an
extract which contains the pith of the whole :
" Now the true ground in regard to slavery
is Bound in regard to ether institutions. The
Union is of more value than the unimpeded
-habeas corpus in time of war. It is of more
Tiling than the privilege of inciting ignorant
men to riot and rebellion by treason, either
printed or spoken. It is absurd to think that
the nation, hada to endure for ages, should
die because Yallandighams are sent to their
rebel friends, or traitors are hanged for insult
ing the stars and stripes. It is nonsense and
folly to say that either Ben Wood shall print
and publish treasonable articles, or that the
wheels of government shall stop. The perpe
tuity of this Union is so terribly indispensable
that we had better hang with short shrift, between
Washington and Boston, as many Copperheads as
the Roman general -eraeried of Spartan& gladi
ators along the Appian way. Of course in n re
public like ours, where the servants of the peo
ple are brought to judgment at every election,
abuses cannot exist for any length of time,
without the application of the remedy, and it
is in this check which loyal men hold over
their official ministers, that our safety from
tyranny lies. If no such check existed, the
republic would be a mockery, and every word
in glorification- of the power and instincts of
the people ever spoken or written, by sages of
Greece or Rome, by British liberals or by
American orators, would be driveling imbecil
ity, and it would be a mercy for the world if,
in that event, a monarchy were forced upon
our people."
We might permit this to go without a word
of comment, well assured that the discerning
mind of the public would detect its ignorance
and sophistry, and that the demoniacal spirit ,
which it displays would meet with no response
in the bosom of a civilized and christian peo
ple.
But we cannot forbear a word or two.
"The Union," says this sapient scribbler,
"is of more value than the unimpeded habeas
corpus in time of war."
He should have borne in mind, and we de
sire our readers to do so, that the It iitibiipeded
habeas cornue, in time of war" as well as in
time of peace, is "part and parcel" of the
Constitution and the Union—and it can only
be impeded in certain cases, of which Congress
is the sole judge, " when the public safety may
require it," without greatly impairing the vi
tality of the Constitution and infringing the
rights of every citizen of the Union.
What would the Union be to any of us if the
power in temporary administration of the gov
ernment were permitted to violate its guaran
tees of personal freedom with impunity ?
It is not the conviction and expatriation (if
we may so term it) of Yallandigham of which
loyal citizens complain—it is because he was
convicted, without any evidence of crime known
to the laws, in violation and in defiance of the
Constitution and the laws, which should have
thrown their shield over him and protected
him against the outrage, which not only affected
him, but every American citizen. Had he com
mitted treason against the government, or any
other crime, there was a way known to the law
by which he should have been tried ; and it
was only because he had been guilty of no of
fence that he was ruthlessly seized, ruthlessly
tried, and ruthlessly sent away beyond the
military lines, an exile from his home and his
country. To treat this serious subject with
the levity and atrocity which the Bulletin dis
plays, is to come nearer the commission of
treason than ever Yallandigham did.
The Constitution clearly defines the crime of
treason—and nothing in this country can be
treason except what it defines to be treason.
It is not the Bulletin, not the administration,
not the Abolition fanatics and treasury plun
derers, but the Constitution, that determines
what acts shall constitute the crime. And
further, the Constitution - expressly declares,
Article I of the Amendments, that st Congress
shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech
or of the press."
'Mint the Bulletin says, therefore, in refer
ence to Ben Wood, or any other speaker or
editor, is of no weight whatever. It is simply
a waste of words to cover a damnable design.
That design is to invoke the administration to
despotic and sanguinary measures, and prepare
the public mind by false reasoning, to look
upon such measures, when inaugurated, as ne
cessary and, therefore, just.
-As to the remedy of election, it is the only
one to which Democrats at present look. But
what sort of a remedy will it prove if, as it ap.
pears from the language.but too common and
general in the administration press, the people
are to be controlled in the exercise of the frau
ehise by armed bands of Union Leaguers, or
the more imposing and formidable array of
Federal bayonets ?
Such a Union as the Bulletin seems to ad
mire is, in our judgment, a mockery. We want
no such Union. The Union we contend for is
the old Union—the Union of the Fathers—the
Union of the Constitution. To any other Union
we acknowledge disloyalty, and God willing no
other shall ever be known in this goodly land.
A Union which rests upon no Constitutional
basis and confers no liberty upon the citizen,
is repulsive to us, and of no value to any ex
cept tyrants and the tools of tyrants.
The Republic, as the government is adminis
tered, is already "a mockery," and if a "mon
archy" is what the ruling dynasty is aiming
at, they have but to throw aside the cloak that
but partially hides their dark designs, screw
up their courage "to the sticking point," pro
claim Lincoln King—and the thing will be
done. In all but the name our government is
now not only a Monarchy, but a Despotism.

We remarked some time ago that we didait
think the Lord Leaguers would make much
out of John Van Buren, and we now repeat
the observation. The New York Journal of
Commerce of yesterday contains the following
ohm acteristio note from the Prince to the Vice
President of the Loyal League of Union cid.
:
DEAR MR. JEROME : I inclose you $5O to
wards defraying the expenses of the volunteers
to the Utica convention. My first intenti o n
was to contribute twenty-five, but as I see
they were permitted to cheer for M'Clollan, I
raise it to fifty_ Pray see that nothing is done
to prevent them voting for him also when the
proper time arrives. Common sense is not so
common as is generally supposed, but I should
think there was enough left to put a - stop to
these blind and blundering assaults upon a
retired patriot, whom the mass of the people
respect andadmire, and whom the soldiers love.
Truly yours, J. VAN BUREN.

Battle Field MaiAutry.
In front of the rebel works at Vicksburg,
after our sharpshooters had safely established
themselves behind high rough pound, near
enough the enemy's rifle pits to converse with
the butternuts, an Illinois boy, full of fun, and
somewhat thirsty, cries out :
" Hullo, there, Secesh !"
66 Hullo !"
" Got any liquor in Vicksburg ?"
" Plenty."
" Well, we'll come in to-night and take a
horn."
The boys on the battle field, death staring
them in the face, and danger on every side,
will have their jokes as well as 'Uncle Abraham,
safely ensconced in the White House.
NEWS OF THE DAY.
BY TELEGRAPH.
FROM GEN. GRANT'II ARMY TO 22D 'ULTIMO.
CINCINNATI, June I.—The Commercial has
full particulars of the operations of Gen. Grant's
army up to the 22d ultimo.
When our army advanced upon Vicksburg,
it was confident of easy conquest ; but the
ground in the rear of the city was found to be
so broken and rugged as to be almost impassa
ble by artillery, and the rebel fortifications
were very formidable, being grass-grown—
showing that preparations had long since been
made to stand a siege upon the land side.
The main fortifications consist of a chain of
forts about 800 yards apart, connected by deep
entrenchments, and extending seven miles.—
Our loss in the assault on the 22d was about
2,000. It was the opinion that another gen
eral assault would not be ordered, but the pity
be taken by regular siege approaches.
LATER ADVICES
The Gazette has advicee up to the 270,
through a staff officer of one of Grant's Gen
erals, who left for Washington last evening.—
Three assaults had been made by our forces,
in all of which they were repulsed. The last
assault was made by Gen. Sherman with 20,000
men. We lost 600 killed, and a large number
wounded.
Our outer line is within 100 yards of the
rebel works, and our sharpshooters prevent
the rebels working their guns. The rebel
works in the rear of the city are far more for
midable than those in front. Gen. Johnson is
in the neighborhood of Jackson with a force of
about 15,000, short of provisions and ammuni
tion. No apprehension is felt of any serious
attack upon the rear. The staff officer says
Grant has taken 8,400 prisoners and 84 Ideals
of artillery.
WASHINGTON, June I.—The President last
night received the following dispatch from Gen.
Butterfield :
lIREADQtrARTFIR ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
64 E14 31,1863.
"To His Excellency A. Lincoln, President of
the U. s.—Our officer who crossed under flag of
truoe to-day brought no papers, but says the
latest news.reported was a dispatch from Gen.
Johnson, of the 27th, to the effect that up to
that time the Unionists had been repulsed with
great slaughter. The dead were yet unburied
and becoming very offensive. BUTTERFIELD."
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
NEW June I.—The steamer She'drake
from Havana on the 26th ult., arrived this
afternoon. There is nothing new from Havana.
It is reported at Havana, that the yellow fever
has broken out among the French in Mexico.
An extra of the Havana Diario of the 26th,
received per the steamer Sheldrake, reports
the arrival at Havana of the French. steamer
Darien, from Vera Cruz, with important dis
patches from Gen. Forey, announcing the oc
cupation of Puebla by the force under his
command.
The prisoners include Gen. Ortega, and 23
ether Generals, 900 minor (Aura, and 17,000
men.
It appears that on the 16th General Forey
opened with heavy artillery on Fort Tohimem
puacan, and on the 11th a breach was effected.
The French troops then moved on an assault.,
and after a desperate resistance, entered the
Plana, when Ortega surrendered uncondition
ally.
On ,the 26th one division of the French army
started for the city of Mexico.
FROM CALIFORNIA AND OREGON
SA'N FRANCISCO, May 30.—The ship Robin
Hood sailed to-day for Liverpool, carrying
1,000 tons of copper ore and 25,000 sacks of
wheat. Seven Indians were hung at Victoria,
British Columbia, on the 23d, for murdering
white men. Rich Sltvee ore is reported to have
been discovered near Sillock Lake. The dates
from Oregon are to the 26th. A bark had ar
rived at Portland, Oregon, from New York,
with cars and engine for the railroad between
Dallas and the Caszades. Laborers wages in
Idaho are $8 per day. Eight thousand men
are working in the Poise river mines, which
extend a distance of thirty miles. Supplies
reach them from Salt Lake city.
GEN. POSTER-THE NINE MONTHS NEN.
NEWBERN, N. C., May 29.—0 n the 27th in
stant Gen. Foster visited the camps of the
nine months men, and made an eloquent speech
to each regiment. He told them that he could
not part with them—that they must not leave
him and our sacred cause at this stage of the
rebellion—that he would givelllhem all the ad
vantages accompanying a re-enlistment inclu
ding a furlough of thirty days to each regiment
and so arrange it that while one regiment de
parted another should be ready to return_
which proposition appeared to meet with gen
eral favor. Gen. Foster then called upon them
for a new artillery regiment, to consist of
twelve companies of 150 men each, which was
organized on the spot, and the of f icers appoin
ted. Some of the regiments offered to furnish
three companies for this new command, which
will be ready for service in a short time. The
desire of that portion of the 18th army corps
now in South Carolina to return here under
their old. chief, where they can have active ser
vice, is arousing the sympathies of the whole
department in their behalf. Numerous letters
are continually reaching Gen. Foster from the
officers and men now separated from him
against the express orders of the President,
containing appeals for their return of the most
affecting character. To stay together with a
General they esteem, they offer to re•enlist for
the war if their wishes are granted. Rather
than have any ill feeling existing between the
two departments, Gen. Foster is willing to
furnish Gen. Hunter with two black regiments
for each of hie regiments returned.
HELENA REPORTED TAKEN-WHITE OFFICERS AND
BUBO SOLDIERS TO BB BONO,
Lovisvii.T,e, June I.—A special dispatch to
the Journal from Murfreesboro', dated May
80th, says Gen. Marmaduke is reported to have
captured Helena, Ark., and . a regiment of no . -
gro soldiers, together with the white officers
commanding them, are to be hanged.
.SBEL ACCOUNT OP VALLANDIGRAM's RECEPTION.
CINCINNATI, June I.—The Chattanooga Rebel
of May 27th has the following account of Val
landigham's arrival in the rebel lines
"Mr. Vallandigham hes just arrived. He
was brought to our lines by a flag of truce,
but the commander of the outposts refused to
recognize it fey &by such purpose. The Fed
erals becoming alarmed, retired, leaving Mr.
Vallandigham, with his baggage, upon neutral
ground, When our officers approached him
he proposed delivering himself as a prisoner of
war. This was declined, inasmuch as he was
not in the service of the United States. On
learning his name and situation, he was re
ceived as an exile banished from his State,
and as such tendered the hospitalities of the
country, as any foreigner seeking refuge or
banished from home for opinion's sake. He
was received by Gen. Mason, and escorted to
his headquarters without any demonstration.
There he was received by Col. 3. Stoddard
Johnston, of Gen. Bragg's staff, and by him
conveyed in a carriage to Shelbyville, where
comfortable quarters were provided for him,
There was no demonstration, but every where
he passed, those who had heard of his coming
greeted him kindly and with silent tokens of
sympathy and respect.
"Mr. Vallandigham looks cheerful and seems
to breathe easy on escaping from the Lincoln
despotism. Re very properly desires to avoid
public demonstrations and only asks that he
may find a quiet refuge in our midst until such
time as the voice of his people, relieved from a
despotic government, shall call him again to
their midst. He seems fully to realize the em
barrassment of his position, and will, beyond
doubt, be equal to its responsibilities. Digni
fied retirement and seclusion from all public
matters will, to the minds of all proper thinking
persons, and doubtless to his own, be the best
course for him to pursue."
The same paper editorially says : "His
(Vallandigham's) road, which leads up the
steep ascent of the future, is direct and gas
lighted all the way. It leads first out of some
Confederate port to Nassau, thence to Canada,
and finally to the Gubernatorial chair of Ohio.
The return of Napoleon from Elba was' the
signal for a general reaction in France. Thou
sands flocked to him on the instant. Nothing
could keep the Little Corporal, bars nor iron,
nor prision nor Island. He stood once more
on his native heath. The superstitious popu
lar heart clung to him and he triumphed. Let
Mr. Vallandigham's return be as speedy ; let
an absence of a single month find him issuing
an address to the people of his Strte, from
Lower Canada, proelaming these things to
them :
'I, a loyal citizen of the Union, and a sol
dier thereof and of freedom, banished against
law and constitution, thrown contrary to my will
across the lines of a public enemy whose re
fusal to receive and recognize me establishes
before all men my patriotism and honor ;
C. L. Vallandigham, persecuted, exiled, mob
bed and coerced by cowardly tyrants and by
bayonets, but not dead nor dumb, issue these
words and declare myself a candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio.'"
"The effect would be magical." It further
says " his prospects for Governor of Ohio are
exceedingly fair. He is the rebels' style of
man, and we admire him because from the
start he has been agatnet the war."
BY THE MAILS.
FROM OEN. GRANT TO THE 26TH lILT.
WASHINGTON, May 31.—Unofficial dispatches
were received here to-day from . the army of
Gen. Grant, dated on the 2Gth. They repre
sent that there bad been no material change in
affairs there since the 25th.
On the evening of that day Oen. Pemberton
asked for a two and a half hours' truce to bury
his dead, which was given.
There is no truth in the rumored death of
Gen. Steele.
Cam), May 31.—The dispatch boat New Na
tional, from Young's Point on Tuesday after
noon, has arrived.
The fighting on Monday lasted from 6 a. m.
to 9 p. m., when there was a cessation of hos
tilities to bury the dead.
The battle was renewed on Tuesday morn
ing, but no particulars had reached Young's
Paint.
But few, if any, batteries had been taken.
Shells from General Sherman's siege guns
come over into the city, as can be non from
the fleet. •
Gen. Bank's forces had not arrived.
Forty-four hundred prisoners are expected
here to-night, and will be sent to Indianapo
lis.
OFFICIAL DISPATCH OF COMMODORE PORTER.
WASHINGTON, May 81.—The following tele
gram was received at the Navy Department to
day :
FLAGSHIP BLACK 11AWK4 MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON, /
NEAR VICKSHURO, May 25,1883. S
To Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy :
Sin—l have the honor to inform you that
the expedition under the command of Lieut.
Commander Walker, after taking possession of
the forts at Haines' Bluff, was entirely suc
cessful,
Three powerful steamers and a ram were de
stroyed at Yazoo City. The ram was a monster,
310 feet long, 70 feet beam, to be covered with four
inch iron plates. Also, a fino navy yard, with
machine shops of all kinds, sawmills, black
smiths' shops, &v., were burned up. -
Th e preperty destroyed and captured amount
ed to over two millions of dollars.
Had the monster ram been finished she would
have given us some trouble.
One battery was destroyed at Drury's Bluff.
Our loss on the expedition was one killed and
seven wounded. DAVID D. PORTER,
Acting Rear Admiral, Commanding Mississippi
Squadron.
REBEL ACCOUNTS FROM VICKSBURG.
MOBILE, May 28.—Reports from below
Vicksburg state that Gen. Banks has crossed
the Mississippi with his army at Bayou Sara.
Gen. Grant sent in a flag of truce yesterday
about the sick and wounded. The slaughter
of the Federals was far greater in the assault
upon Vicksburg than in any battle during the
war.
Gen. Pemberton is burning tar and using
other disinfectipg agents to save our troops
from the effects of the Union dead, rotting in
front of our works.
The Hiss isstppian of Tuesday says Saturday's
battle at Vicksburg was the most stubborn of
all.
ricarr WITII MOSBY'S CAVALRY
11rAsnisurron, May 31.—A telegram was re
ceived this afternoon from Gen. Stahle, dated
at Fairfax Court House to-day, in which he
g uys Mosby,. with 200 men and one howitzer,
attacked •a train of oars near Catlett's Station
yesterday, and the guard having escaped, he
burned the train. The locomotive is not much
damaged.
Col. Mann, of the 7th Michigan, who bad the
command in the front, hearing the firing, took
a portion of his troops and followed in search
of the rebels. He encountered them two miles
from Greenwich, where they had taken a very
strong position.
Col. Mann charged the rebels, who replied
with grape and canister. Bat, as the Colonel
reports, our men never faltered. They dashed
upon the rebels and took their guns.
We have captured Mosby's artillery, a 12-
pound howitzer, taken from the Unionists in
the battle of Ball's Bluff, and wounded Capt.
Haskins, late of the English army, so severely
that he will not recover. He was paroled, as
aloe war Lieutenant Chapman, late of the reg
ular army before the rebellion, and in com
mand of the artillery under Mosby. He made
a gallant resistance and was severely woun
ded.
The exact number of the enemy's wounded
is not known, as they carzied them off. Our
own loss is seventeen in all killed and woun
ded.
FIGHT WITH PRICE'S ADVANCE
LEAVENWORTH, May 20.—Cul. Phillips, nom.
mending in the Indian territory, had a severe
fight with a portion of Price's army on the
20th. The enemy crossed the Arkansas river
near Fort Gibson. Col. Phillips drove them
back. Our loss was thirty killed, and the en
emy's much greater. The enemy were led by
Generale Steele, Cooper and Irl'lntoeh, They
are now massed in front, claiming eleven thou
sand men and considerable artillery. We have
only three thousand men and one battery, but
are well fortified. This is evidently the ad
vance of Price's main army.
DIFFICULTY SETTLED-INDIANS AND GUERILLAS
All ditrioultiee between Generale Schofield
and Heron have been reconciled, and General
Heron resumes command of the Army of the
Frontier, and leaves for the field at once.
Dispatches from Fort Darned inform us of
the approach from the southwest of a large
rebel force, Texans and Indians, with the de
sign to intercept the trains en route to New
Mexico.
The guerrillas on the borders are becoming
more numerous. The national force ie inade

Privates Enos Daily, Phillip Margroff, and
Charles Harrington, all of the 146th N. York
Volunteers, having severally been found guilty
of desertion by a general court-martial of the
Army of the Potomac, are sentenced to be shot
on Friday nest.
We find the following Washington items in
the Tribune, under date of May3l ; -12 p. m.
OFFICERS HELD BY THE REBELS
Col. Ludlow, Commissioner of Exchanges,
who is here, reports that the rebels refuse to
exchange or parole the officers of Col. Streight's
oonimand, taken in Alabama, about sixty or
seventy in number, on the ground that colored
soldiers were found serving under them. The
Rebel state authorities claim that they be
handed over to them as threatened in the proc
lamation of Jeff. Davis. Pending this ques
tion, our government refuses to make further
exchrnges.
RULE TO CHECKMATE REBEL SPIES
The government has begun to put in force
a new rule, by which effectually to prevent
pretended deserters and refugees from the
rebel army from returning South with infor
mation for the enemy whioh they have acquired
while wearing the mask of suffering loyalty,
and enjoying the freedom of parole. It has
been determined that all who call themselves
deserters shall be sent, as soon as they arrive
within our lines, to Philadelphia, where the
oath of allegiance will be administered to
them, and an additional oath by which they
bind themselves not to go farther South than
Philadelphia, under the penalty of being
treated as spies. Forty were sent yesterday
to Philadelphia, and thirty more go to-morrow.
NB. EVARTS' RECEPTION IN LONDON
Advices have been received from William M.
Everts, of New York, announcing his safe ar
rival in London, and stating that he bad been
well received there, and had already assured
himself that the British Government would in
good faith do its best to prevent the sailing of
rebel pirates from the island ports.
FREMONT TO COMMAND THE NEGROES
In answer to a committee from New York
who called upon the President to urge upon
him the propriety of giving Gen. Fremont a
command at some point where he can rally
around him the colored men of the country,
the President declared that he would gladly
receive into the service not ten thousand but
ten times ten thousand colored troops; ex
pressed his determination to protect all who
enlisted, and said that he looked to them for
essential service in the finishing the war. He
believed that the command of them afforded
scope for the highest ambition, and he would
with all his heart offer it to Oen. Fremont.
[lt is said the committee were profoundly
impressed with the President's sincerity. We
are too—he seems to appreciate Fremont, who
will make a splendid commander of the Black
Army corps—proyided be is stationed some
where in the neighborhood of New York or
Washington, where his sable army will be in
little danger.]
A DOG PUNISHING A Doo.—Dr. Able in one of
his lectures, related a very striking anecdote
of a Newfoundland dog in Cork. This dog
was of a noble, generous disposition; and
when he left his master's house was often as
sailed by a number of little noisy dogs in the
street. He usually passed them in apparent
unconcern, as if they were beneath his notice.
But one little cur was particularly troublesome;
and at length carried his petulance so far as to
bite the Newfoundland dog in the back of the
foot. This proved to be a step in wanton
abuse and insult beyond what was to be pa
tiently endured, andhe instantly turned round,
ran after the offender, and seized him by the
skin of the back. In this way ha carried him
in his mouth to the quay, and holding him
some time over the water at length dropped
him into it. He did not seem, however, to de
sign that the culprit should be punished capi
tally, and he waited a little while, till the poor
animal, who was unused to that element, was
not only well (husked, but near sinking, when
he plunged in and brought him out safe to
land.
THE %Otto- Man.—Presence ,of mind often
saves one in emergencies. In the following
case, an old toper seems to have been pecu
liarly blessed:
A good anecdote is told of a man named
Bently, a confirmed drinker, who would never
drink with a friend or in public, and always
bitterly denied, when a little too steep, ever
tasting liquor. One day some bad witnesses
concealed themselves in his room, and when
the liquor was running down his throat, seized
him with his arm crooked and his mouth open,
and holding him fast, asked with an air of
triumph: "Ah, Benny, have we caught you at
last ? You never drink, eh 2" No one would
suppose but that Bently would have acknowl
edged the oorn. Not he; with the most grave
face and inexpressible nalmness, and in a dig
nified manner, said—" Gentlemen, my name is
not Bently !"
Monti Go Ear FRAUDS.-COI. OICOtt,
the government agent for the investigation of
army frauds, has a batch of new cases on hand.
One of the charges is against the Co/oriel of a
New York cavalry regiment, for alleged frauds
in the purchase of horses and arms ; and an
other implicates no less a person than a Major
General now in active service.
SENT TO FORT WHENRY.—Tike Baltimore
Gazette of May 30 says:
" George Hinder and John Presler, of York,
Pa., were yesterday before Col. Fish, charged
with harboring deserters and uttering disloyal
Sentiments. They were sent to Fort 'Henry."
