Evacuation of Suffolk.
A letter from Norfolk - , dated June 3, says
" It is reported here that our forces are going
to evacuate Suffolk. .1 know they have re
moved some of the - troops down this way, and
are throwing up intrenchmenta at a place called
Bower's Hill, about six miles from this city."
If the rumor is true that Gen. Dix ham been
superseded and the troops in his district placed
under the command of Hooker, we think the
administration has made another sad blunder,
and shall be on the look-out for some fresh
disaster.
To Democratic Eititors
The Democratic editors of the State are re
spectfully invited to attend a meeting in Har
risburg, on Wednesday, the 17th of June.—
Business of importance will be submitted.
The above call for a meeting of editors in
this city on the 17th, we copy from the Pitts
burg Post. We are entirely ignorant of the
object of the proposed meeting; bat, without
reference to the particular "business" which
is to be "submitted," we have no doubt a
gathering of the "sentinels upon the watch
towers of liberty," such as that contemplated,
would be attended not only with gratifying,
but with beneficial results. We trust, there
fore, that every Democratic editor in the State
will be on hand at the appointed time. If we
can do nothing else, we can at least become
better acquainted.

A Serious Admonition.
The philosopher of the white hat, Mr. Horace
Greeley, in the Tribune of the 3d irmt., sou n d s
a note of warning to the administration which
they will do well to heed. Presuuting that We
may adopt from the columns of the Tribune,
without disparagement to our loyalty, what
would be rank treason if we originated it, we
givecur readers the benefit of some very just
and pungent remarks from that leading organ
of the controlling element of the party in
power.
On the subject of "The Military Situation,"
and liThe RespondPAlß!" of the adtninietra-
Lion, the .7Wbune observes:
"An evening journal of a late date had a dis
patch from Washington stating that the Presi
dent, speaking of the military operations on
the Mississippi, said, he expected the best
results, but was prepared for the worst.' If
the worst comes, we hope he will be prepared
to estisfy the country that everything that
could have been done to avert it has been
done."
After treating with great severity the neglect
and sad mismanagement of the administration
in'regard to the battles of Bull Run Nos. 1 and
2, and the last campaign of Hooker to Chan
cellorsville, the Tribune continues:
" We shall believe, however, so long 'as we
can, that the government will not again be
chargeable with such fatal mismanagement. But
it is well that.it should bear in mind that there
is a limit to all human endurance, even when the
suffering is inflicted by one's most trusted
friends. It Grant and his brave army shall
be left to be overwhelmed, and the nation be
again agonized with the spectacle of hecatombs of
its children. slain to no purpose, the loyal millions
will not quail nor abate one jot of their spirit,
even in the presence of so great a calamity ; but
they may feel that it would be no longer a duty
to tolerate the men. in whom they had con f ided, and
who only flay after day have given proof upon
proof that they can neither comprehend nor grap
ple successfully with the magnitude and the de
mands of the task before them.•
"We feel it our duty to tell the President
these things. The people believe in the
perpetuity of the republic, but they cannot be
lieve in eternal weakness. They believe in the
timate triumph of the national cause ; but they
cannot forever endure a chronic apathy and im
providence, that no experience, however shaip, and
no adversity, however appalling, can stimulate or
instruct. They demand at least the same fore
sight and vigor in promoting their cause that
its enemies exhibit in assailing it. The time is
past for quieting the -country under inexcusable.dis
aster with assurances that. tedious and long wars
and incompetency in waging them are as old as the
world itself. With unlimited 9neans, and with ,
powers, civil and military, that are literally des
potic, placed in the hands of the President, there
ought at this day to be no failures, We trust that
the issue at Vicksburg, will prove that there
will be none, and that there is an end of the
system,
or no-system, which, if longer con
tinued, must waste away and consume, not the
enemies of the republic, but the republic itself."
These are words well and aptly spoken.---
They require no comment to make them intel
ligible. They
. are "more than a eritieissm of
the past. They are an open, revolutionary
menace for the future," and the administration
will show more wisdom' than it has yet done if
it prefits by them.
Southern Sympathy.
A lively French writer represents a Quaker
'saying to a dog, whose inopportune barking
had.disturbed his courtship, " I will' not harm
thee, for my religion denies revenge; but I
will show thee how a Quaker can punish."
He thereupon leads the animal quietly to the
gate, and raises the cry, "mad dog ;" where
upon the passers with sticks and stones assail,
and destroy the unfortunate brute.
This administration has adopted this Quaker
policy toward Liberty,. Willing to wound, and
yet afraid to strike, it hopes by the catch-word
of " Southern sympathy " to direct the honest
impulses of hatred to rebellion for a dishonest
use. No sympathizer with rebellion exists in
the free States. It is idle to pretend that such
a state of feeling can be found as to assert
that there is a preference of donee to bread for
food. It is no more in the nature of things
than a square circle. Men no more sympa
thize with the rebellion than they woo the
Asiatic cholera or infect their veins with black
vomit. There does exist a class of thinkers,
insignificant originally in nureers, and which
only administrative madness can make impor
tant, holding from the beginming that the basis
of the Republican party was anattony, and
that it must work out those natural results
which necessarily and inevitably flow from
such a basis ; that, therefore, every day of war
would give it more power of mischief, and that
the disintegration of the Union which accom
panied its accessions to rule would be contin
ued during the exercise of it. We hoped, and
believed, that these men were mistaken; but
they were as honest in their opinions as the
President in his, and were entitled to the same
right of expression as he, and to the same
right of protection from the country in its ex
ercise as he had when a private 'citizen. The
right of perfectly free public discussion is as
essential to a free State as the law of gravita
tion to creation. War and peace are subjects
of common interest to us all; we are the jury
to render a verdict. If we can only hear ar
guments on one side, how are we to form a
sensible conclusion ? To suppose that we can
not deduce correct results is to insult the in
telligence of the whole community.
The great wrong we reproach to the seceded
States is infidelity to the Democratic faith, that
troth will overcome error. Yet the admiatra
tion which makes war upon one section of the
Union for rebellion Against the Constitution is
now itself in rebellion against that . Constitu
tion. It admits thus that it was originally in
the right not by principle but by accident_ It
compels us Democrats to oppose it in the very
interests of that Constitution which we with it
united to uphold. We have not budged one
inch from. Our position; we stand on the Con
stitution and refuse to abandon it and to fol
low the 'administration into the labyrinth it
has entered. It has, changed the policy in
which all agreed, and finds fault with us be
cause: we refuse to follow its downward path
to fresh dissolution and certain destruction.
We have never lost heart one instant, but it is
repeating in its civil conduct that blunder in
its military conduct which held back M'Dow
ell and saved 'Richmond: A 'fear hits come
over it, and, like all the panic-stricken, redoes
just exactly what it ought not to do, Origi
nally strong in .the possession of power,
strong in the common consent .of the' people,
iznpregeable when it rested on the COnstitution,
why, is it that, in two , short years, i,his admin
istration h as "cared a powerful opposition
and intensely vindiotive . personal enmities?. • The
cry of Southern sympathy will not =direr.
Where was that sympathy two years ago ?
how did it manifest itself ? Thdt cry is elm ,
ply the assertion of an untruth, and of an
untruth morw-damaging than all the other
untruths witiell have bees perpetrated or
permitted. If there be a large iarty in the
free Status which holds the Sinth justified in
secession, and rejoices in its BIICCess, then the
South must be in the right. Such will be
the verdict of Europe. Then, instead of this
war being a great contest for the Constitution,
it would be simply a repetition of the old
clash of factions which has hitherto con
vulsed republics) it would simply prove that
self-government is a delusion. It i s b e d enoug h
to have such a sentence pronounced by the
enemies of freedom, it is dreadful to hear it
re-echoed, but it is terrible to find the admin
istration certifying to its truth by repressing
free discussion. There is about as much proba
bility of a man convincing the people of these
States that the South is all right and the North
all wrong as of an infant coaxing the moon
from , the firmament by the eager grasping
motion of its little fingers; but if a man could
be found willing to discourse on such a text,
we do not know any way so effeatual to make
believers in his theory as to choke his utterance
or punish his uttempt: It will not do for the
administration to accuse others of that indif
ference to,duty it has so signally manifested.
It will not do to charge that faith with coldness
whioh shudders at a blow given to the Consti
tution by hands sworn to protect it ; it will
_not do for the priest who mocks at the God to
charge others with impiety. If. from humble
. suggestion of right it has driven the Democracy
into fierce denunciation of wrong ; if it has
made war on the government by every means
known to the Conetitution and the law as assert
tial for that party as for the government to war
upon the rebellion, it is not our fault. There is
one thing dearer than the Union—it is Liberty,
We don't intend to give up either the one or
the other, and we no more think the govern
ment will succeed in conquering our.liberties
than secession its independence. But if, by
the mingled madness and weakness which seem
to rule the hour s we are compelled to a choice,
there will not be one moment of hesitation.
The moment the American people arrive at the
conclusion which General Burnside has an
nounced, that they must deposit their liberty
during this war and take it out of pawn only
after victory, that instant BeCession is a "fixed
fact." The history of the world does not show
one example of liberty returned, and this peo
ple ie. not about to make the experiment. We
all recollect the fable of the horse and the man,
and as Stories bonnet be Copperhead under
his present majesty we may safely quote
2Ssop.: •
A horse, in a contest with a wolf, asked the
assistance of- a man, who, jumping on his
back, , soon dispatched the enemy. The'horse,
with many thanks, requested the rider to dis
mount. -" Oh, no !" was the reply; "if you
do not know that you have a good master, I
know that •f have a good servant." Horses
have been ridden since that d 4.— World.
NEWS OF. THE DAY.
BY TELEGRAPH.
LATEST FROM VICKSBURG
Clitceoo, June 5.—A special despatch from
the rear of Vicksburg, dated May 3I st, says
Me bombardment of Vicksburg continues.—
All our guns in position opened fire at midnight,
and continued until daylight. The rapidity of
the firing was unparalleled, and it is believed
great was damage inflicted.
Three rebels were captured at daylight yes
terday, while endeavoring to run our pickets
and get , into the city.
Two hundred thousand percussion oaps were
found in their possession.
One of the rebels, a boy, came out of, the
city ten days ago and took the oath of allegi
ance. He was then allowed to go to his home,
five miles in the rear. It is probable that he
will be condemned as a spy. .
Gen. Johnston is reported to be moving to
wards Jackson but is not in sufficient force to
attack us.
SICIIIMIOII WITH GUERRILLAS
WASHINGTON, June s.—The following tele
graph was received here this morning :
FAIRFAX COURT Houss, June 4.—A1l is quiet
along our lines, and in front on the Orange
and Alexandria railroad.
This morning at five o'clock, when the relief
passed, our pickets were'attacked on Sawyer's
road by guerrillas. Col. Gray at once started
with about 120 men in search of them, but
could find nothing of them in the woods.
He then - went on to scout the whole country,
and when he passed the Frying Pan his rear
guard was attacked by about 100 rebels, who
were hidden in a thick wood.
Col. Gray turned his column and charged
the rebels, who fled in great haste through the
woods. He followed them up to +ladies. From
there he returned via Drainesville.
Our entire loss is three wounded and some
horses wounded. He captured their surgeon,
Dr, Alexander.

OLD NEWS FROM. meareo.
Nuw YORZ, June s.—The steamer North ern
Light, from Aspinwall on the 27th, has arrived
at this port. A letter from Panama of the 27th
states that the steamer Orizaba arrived on that
day froth San Francisco, with a million and a
half of treasure. She has late news from
Mexico via Acapulco, but the date is not given,
to the effect that the French have met with
another severe defeat at Puebla, and were
again repulsed, Comonfort having added his
forces to those of Ortega. [This is merely the
re-vamping of an old and not true story. We
have already published accounts from Mexico
via San Francisco by telegraph, May 29—two
days idler the Orizaba's arrival at Aspinwall.
We fear the fall of Puebla. is a fixed fact. It
is stated in Washington that the Spanish Con
sul at Veitt Cruz has transmitted the hews to
the Spanish Legation in that city, and that the
French Legation there have received the same
intelligence. Probably by this time the French
army is quartered in the city of Mexico.]
THE BLOCKADE RUNNER JUNIPER
liew Yoe; May 5.—A letter in the Boston
Transcript •states that the schooner Juniper,
which was captured near Mobile while trying
to run the blockade, was armed and manned
by the Dritieh Natant at Havana. He was also
the owner of the.cargo of.the steamer Antonia,
captured some time ago.

euvonmart, June 4. Our direct adViees
from Vicksburg are to Saturday, the 3pth of

General.Pemberton to communicate verbally
with Generale Johnson and Loring. Th e f or _

an d Jackson, and the /atter. near. Port Gibson.
He repreaenta. affairs in, the ,city as ,growing

quarters of a pound of meat and the same of
oorn•meal per day. The remaining one•third
is held' as' n reserve to strengthen any threat
ened point at a m eteee t. , o notice.
Gene. Pemberton, Lee, Reynolds, Stevenson
and others are in the city. Most of the sick
left the city before its investment. Those "he
remain have excavated caves and live in them e
night and day. The valuable merchandise
in the city is also thus stored, from fear of
conflagration. The poor are generally in their
houses.
Over one hundred women and children have
been killed by our bombardment. The gun
boats inflict no injury on the city. General
Pemberton believed his rations would hold out
thirty days, but urged Johnson to come to his
relief within ten days at the furthest. The
cavalry horses have been turned loose and dri.
yen toward our lines, owing to the lack of for
age. (This has since been confirmed.) There
was ammunition enough to last sixty days,
with the single exception of gun-caps ; these
were scarce. . .
All confidently expected superhuman efforts
to be made by those outside to raise the siege.
They consider Vicksburg the strongest place
in the Confederacy. Gen. Blair had met no
enemy in force, and the reports of Qen. John
ston being near are disbelieved. At all events
we are prepared for him.
Subsistence for our army comes to Lake's
Landing on the Yazoo river, about ten miles
from the Mississippi, by transports, and thence
by teams to the different army corps.
This morning the heaviest cauuonading of
the siege was kept up without intermission for
nearly three hours. New batteries have lately
been put in position and 150 guns were play
ing on the city. •
At daylight the firing was rapid beyond be
lief, and the reports along the whole line aver
aged one per second for minutes together. The
roar of the heavy siege guns was awful, and
the earth was shaken by the concussion. The
weather continues hot. The roads and camps
are uncommonly dusty. The wounded are
being removed to the hospital boats in large
numbers, and transported to Memphis.
All goes welt, considering the magnitude of
the operations.
REBEL REPORTS.
WASHINGTON, June 4.—A telegram was re
ceived to-night extraoted from the 'Richmond
Sentinel, June 8, as follows :
JACKSON, June Grant demanded
the surrender of Vicksburg on Thursday, gi
ving three days to Gen. Pemberton to consider
the demand. Gen. Pemberton replied that he
did not want 15 minutes, and the troops would
die in the trenches before they would surren

the city. Port Hudson is invested.
The gentleman forwarding this dispatch to
the government adds: There is nothing. in

was very rapid, and lasted about an hour, when
the .rebels withdrew. • •
The casualties have not yet been reported.
MURFREESBORO', June 4.—The rebels have
been reconnoitering in our front. • Yesterday
Wheeler appeared on the Manchester, and this
morning on the Shelbyville road. Brisk skir

Indiana cavalry, on picket duty, was first at
tacked, 'and the 49th Indiana, Col. Harrison,
First IyAgade of Gen. Davis' division, was sub
sequently sent to their assistance.
The rebels were driven about a mile. Our
loss -was only one man killed and several
wounded. The Fourth cavalry was engaged
some time on the Middletown road. At the
last seven were killed and wounded.
Col. M'Cook reports henvy firing in the di
rection of Tribune.
Gen. Granger telegraphs that Gen. Baird, of
the 85th Indiana, in command at Franklin,
was attacked to-day by rebel cavalry. At the
latest dates Baird was still fighting, with some
prospects of capturing the enemy. We hear
of no rebel infantry engaged. Their cavalry
is engaged in reconnoitering the whole line.
CIVIL AUTHORITY RESTORED IN PORTSMOUTH, VA.
FORTRESS MONROE, June B.—The oily gov
,ernment of Portsmouth was organized yester
day. The inauguration cf the city government
of Norfolk will be delayed about ten days,
from some cause not explained.
The keys of the public buildings have been
given up by the military authorities, and the
necessary orders to subordinate military offi
cers will soon be promulgated. The people
generally are well pleased with the proposed
change in affairs.
OEN. BURNSIDE'S ORDER REVOKED.
The following is a special despatch to the N.
Y. World:
Lnsixorow, Kv., June 4.—Editor of the New
York World:. Having been direoted by the
President of the United States to revoke that
part of my order suppressing the Chicago
Times, I have revoked the entire order, and your
paper will be allowed its circulation in this de
partment. A. E. BURNSIDE, Maj. Gen.
CHICAGO, June 4.—The Chicago Times having
issued a paper this morning, the military took
possession of the office and remained until
evening, when a telegram was received by the
proprietors from Gen. Burnside saying that
his order suppressing their circulation having
been revoked by the President, they were at
liberty to continue its publication.
[This is the first wise act the President has
done since he put himself in possession of the
ultra Abolitionists. His instinct, has for the
present, preserved him. Like the war horse,
he "smelled the battle afar off," and avoided it
by a discreet action. We give him credit for
it, and hope it may not be the last act of his
administration that we can sincerely com
mend.]
EXPLOSION AT ROBOREIq.
About half-past 10 o'clock an Thursday night
the citizens on' the west side of New 'York
were startled by a terrific explosion which took
place in the maehine shop connected with the
Stevens monster battery in Hoboken..
A young man by the name of Arnold, em
ployed as a clerk by the firm of Thompson &
Co., brokers, had the top of his head blown off
by one of the shells, and was- instantly killed.
There were five distinct explosions during
the progress of the conflagration.
All the out buildings connected with the es
tablishment were totally destroyed; together
with the dwelling occupied by the keeper of
the yard. The loss will amount to about $l5,-
000. "
CAPTURE OF BLOCKADE , RUNNEB.S.
The Nail , Dtpartment has advises of the cap
ture of ten blockade runners in the Gulf, to
Wit : The British Ships Justine, Eagle, and
Comet ; the Spanish steamer Umon,, and the
rebel vessels Crazy Jane, Clarinda, Juniper,
A. G. Bodge, Oliver S. Breeze, and Sea Lion.
[A pretty good haul for the bloekaders.]
NORTH dAtOTANA. VS. THE CONFEDERACY':
A Newbern, North Carolina, telegram of
June 1, says: • •
,The opposition paPers tliiikState are, very
severe on the “fire-eaters and original noes
sionisterwho: according to the utterance of
the tipeoal,prgin groyerntor Vance, the Ra
leigh Standard, will never be alloWed hereafter
to hold any office of honor or trot whatever
in North Carolina. From the same source it
appears that Jeff. Davis has been given to un
derstand that the fate of the Confederacy must
be decided in Virginia, end that in no case will
the Confederate army be allowed to make a
stand in North Carolina and deluge her fields
with blood and devastation. When they leave
Virginia, they must retire to the Cotton States
and end the Conflict where it began.
For the past six weeks no rain has fallen
here, and the drought seriously endangers the
prospects of the crops.
EMANCIPATION IN BALTIMORE
BAranuons, June 4.—Primary elections were
held to-night in the several districts, for dele
gates to the conventions to nominate candi
dates for members of Congress. Henry Winter
Davis is thought to have carried a majority of
the wards in the Third district. The contest
was spirited, the emancipation question enter
ing largely into the canvass. Both the friends
of Mr. Davis and. him opponent, ex-Mayor
Swann, claim their candidates to be equally
decided in favor of emancipation. The Third
district is composed of the twelve upper wards
of the pity. The election, so far as heard
from, hatreeen quietly conducted.
In the Second diStrict, composed of the lower
wards of the city, and Baltimore and Hartford
counties, as far as heard from, Leary has 25
votes, Webster 26, and J. J. Stewart 5. The
returns from the counties have not yet been
heard from.
WASHINEITON ELEOTION-THE ADMI3TBATION
FORNEY TICKET BADLY BEATEN
On Monday there was a charter election held
in Washington, and the result is significant,
the administration candidates, with power and
patronage to aid, being badly beaten. The
