Gems tram the Telegraph.
We have
~ often been condemned by our
Ifriende for noticing anything that appeared lu
ithe'Tetegrapii; but we think they are mistaken
in their • views. People abroad should bola
formed of whatis well known to the citizens of
this place, thatilergner, himself, is a contempt
ible scoundrel, as unprincipled wretch, law
rant, impudent, mendacious and avaricious.
His chief editor is no better, and, perhaps—
being endowed with a little more intelligence
—even worse. The men, therefore, are un
worthy .of notice from any respectable source.
But the paper which they control is the central
organ of the Abolition or Black Repiblicasi
party of Pennsylvania, and as such, in our
opinion, it would not only show a lack of
sense .and duty in us to permit its falsehoods
and false doctrines to pass unnoticed, but be
treacherous to the interests of-truth and De
mocracy, and justly subject us to the charge of
criminal negligence. With this view of the
natter woken hereafter pay as Much attention
to what appears in the Telegraph as we think
it reqnires, and no more. With these prelim
inary remarks we proceed to point out and
briefly comment open a few gems to be found
in the niessisph of Monday evening, the 13th‘
On the Bulged of conscription—with the fact
in its recollection that Thaddeus Stevens al
leged, in his place in Congress, as an irresist
iblof reason for arming the negroes, that no
whi g teermy conid thereafter be raised by that
justly unpopular mode—the Telegraph urges
that 600,000 men be forced into the military
service under that law, remarking, in all the
vanity of ignorsnee.:
“Thet would be enough to do up the work
in a short time."
Leaving out of view the utter heartlessness
of this atereeziary Hesston and his equally in
sensible editor, in wishing to drag 600,000
eitiesna from their home an 4 families Wider
a despotic militari s tavascriptlon, we deny the
assertion, taking the past as an index of the
future, that even this large number "would be
enough to do up the work in a -short time."—
We go even farther, and allege that, under the
misnumarunent of the Waehineen imbeciles
and blunderers, they would not "do up the
work" at an, bat would be wasted away, use
lessly, as have been the hundreds of thousands
already sent into the field.
At every fresh rush of men to the war, we
have been told the same story by the relegrapA
•snd its contemporaries of the Black Republican
acbool.
According teAheir lying prophecies the
16,000 that first rushed into the strife were - to
put a speedy end to the rebellion. When they
tailed to do so, the next 250,000 were to sweep
like Iliornado over the genet sad level elet7-
thing in their victorious course. When they
failed, then the next and subsequent armies,
amounting to over a million of brave and well
armed men, were surely and quickly to "do up
the work;" and yet where are we to-day, when
the Telesiwinh—nothing daunted by the failures
Of 04 pa*t, which it &Mired us would each
and -all be successes—impudently and igno
rantly tweets that 600,000 conscripted men,
going eelttetant# from their homes under
military. *compulsion, would "do up the work
in a shoretime."
We say, with a, ;teat , oat solemness of the
full import et our words, that under the pre
sent mismariagenient of our national. affairs,
and in support of the taktonstitutional, unwise
and impracticable Policydof the administration,
it would be little lees Than murder to send
600, 006 soustriptit into 41 1 - They should
be kept in their reepeative Stat.se for State
defence, until actually needed at, other points—
/4nd this course we advise, it the conscription

cowards, , . .
This it another gem .from the ,reiegraph.
which requires no elaborate notice. There is
no disguising the fact that in a free country
conscriptions are odious, and justly so; inas
much as, under a wise administration, acting
upon just and patriotic views, and for consti
tutional purposes only, they,oseed never be
resorted to. But, however hostile public

"to resist" them. Any assertion contrary to
this is false- The truth of the latter clause of
the paragraph quoted we admit. It was clearly
exemplified in thenisilanirneukflight ofßaynes,
his associate, and several other distinguished
Abolitionists, on the fiht intelligence of the
near proximity of the enemy, while every
Demoerert•siood his ground, determined to defend
the 0#01 , 01414 'thf risk of his life. Yet, truly,
"disasters bring out the noble qualities of the
brave; but produce trepidation and fear in
cowards."
The miserable attempt to pervert our mean
ing by quoting fhb three Concluding lines of a
half velum= article, and -basely misconstruing
them, is unworthy of notice. only ano
ther 'exhibition of the innate meanness and
entire destitution of honorable principle of the
Hessian and his chief Editor, and we let it
pass. But there is one portion of the article
which we cannot suffer to escape Without com
ment. The Telegraph speaks of
The certainty of the doom which awaits
It Emearting the PATRIOT AND union] when..oiir
victorious armies have finished ?the work of
suppressing treason in the South, and then
tura their attention to tlie traitors of the
North." [That is, the Democratic,parly.]
This is the "doom" to which Haileek referred
in his New York letter, when heeaid the army ,
after it had finished its job meth, would put
its heel on the necks of Northern Democrats.
it is what Stanton referred te in his recent
speech, when he Apoknof "diking the Cop
perheads hissing to their holes:" fit is what
the coward Milroy foreshadowederhen he used
similar bold langua,ge.. It is, in short, this,
that when the administkation has used the
army for the purpose of' dreitr i eging the Unfog,
and , emanoipatitw the , nesrties of theAouth, it in
tends to hurl it upon the freemen of•the Nord,

is written and it -cannot be obliterated. The
scheme of negro freedom and white slartry,
of - a destroyed Constitation, consolidated goy

Witere are Cnandler's 300,4M0 Men.
This "blood-letting" member of the Jacobin
Committee, in his late exoursion to New York,

NEW You s, July 14.-11.30 A. M.
The efforts of the telegraph workmen to re
built the glide destroyed by the mob yester
day, have been stopped by the mob. The
track of the Hudson River railroad at 69th
street, has just been teal up, thus preventing
the train, which started at ten o'clock, from
leaving the city for Albany. The mob is un
derstood to be on the way to Spayteiideyfel
Creek, to burn - the bridge there. Their ca,
this morning, is "kill the Abelitieniate," and
the crowd is of the same character as yester
day. It is expected grape and cannister will
soon be brought to bear on them from bat
teries which have arrived. A house on 16th
street has just been gutted by them.
The mob have barricaded certain parts of
the city, to prevent the passage of troops.
The tracks of the New Haven and Hudson
River railroads are torn np. The stores along
Brodway are generally closed. The mob are
reported to have destroyed the gas main up
town, and it is feared they will destroy the
Croton Aqueduct:and reservoir. Certain parts
of the city have been visited where Irish
laborers are employed, and they have been
induced to join the mob, Several detach
ments of soldiers are reported to have fired
into the mob, but very foolishly used blank
eatridges, which only exasperated the mob.
The most atrocious robberies have been com
mitted in the streets by ruffians, who take any
respectable looking men by force sad rob them
of their watches, money, &c.,and then beat
them. The mob attacked ayor Opdyke's
house, but the citizens and police rallied atut
drove them off.

very hazy, and this morning it was so bad that
we could see but a short distance, and as I
write,
a heavy rain has set in,which bids fair
to last all day. All the small streams coming
out of the mountains are much swollen, and
the rise in the Potomac will be several feet be

in the woods, when they again opened on the
enemy, who then fired twelve rounds of shell.

musketry, but on the third round pushed for

MORGAN'S MOVEMENTS IN INDIANA.
[From the Cincinnati Gazetta of Saturday.]
: A s ND aw AC ON ITC: AND . a
....STEAMER AUDI! DEAN DESTROYED -kO.
Our city was full of all manner of rumors
yesterday, of the movements of Morgan and
his forces in Indiana, and of the reported ad
vance.of Gen. Buckner with 10,000 men from
the South.
At noon yesterday, Gen. Burnside, fearing
that Morgan might perhaps endeavor to make
his way outfit' Indiana, on finding that he was
so hotly pursued by Gen. Hobson, and that she
Would attempt to cross the Ohio at or near
Westport, which is midway between Louisville
and Madison, notified the managers of the Lou
isville mail boat line that they ought not to
send out their boats unless they were properly,
armed to defend themselves, for Morgan might
w th his cavalry bring them to, and after using
them in carrying his men and horses across
the river, might destroy them. As 00011 as
Capt. Pierce received this notice the Major An
derson, having just started, was overhauled at
the Fifth street landing and detaiued.
At noon a dispatch was received from Mitch
ell by the officers of the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad, which stated that the train just in
from Balm brought the report that Salem wag
in the hands of the rebels and was being burned.
The train was pursued three miles by cavalry,
not giving them time to turn their engine.—
The train was baoked up to Mitchell.
The latest news we have of the boat Alice
Dean is from a 'gentleman who accompanied
Capt. Pepper up from Louisville. The boat
was burned on Thursday morning by Morgan's
men, her entire crew being transferred to the
Lady Pike, which came up 'about the same
time, and was suffered by the rebels to proceed,
only detaining her long enough to put on the
captured men.
It was rumored that a considerable body of
rebels had appeared at a place on the river
about twenty miles this side of Louisville.
The report does not seem to be altogether vei y
reliable, but in order to guard against a rept
tition of the Alice Dean affair, Gen. Burnside
has issued an order suspending all communi
cation by water between Louisville and this
city, until the presence of a sufficient number
of gunboats shall render navigation between
the two places secure. These gunboats are
already on their way up and down the river.
'l'HB LATEST.
CINCINNATI, July 13.—Morgan left Moore's
Hill, on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, at
1 o'clock this morning, and passed over the
Indianapolis and Cincinnati railroad at a point
thirty.five miles from here. He reached Har
rison, ni l Hamilton county, Ohio, at about noon
to-day.
At 64 o'clock he was within sixteen miles of
Hamilton,. adjoining the county of Butler, and
moving slowly on that place.
Gen. Hob3on, with a strong force, was five
hiurs behind him.
The damage done to the Ohio and Mississippi'
railroad was three bridges destroyed, a Water
station destroyed and some. of the track re
'moved. The damage done, to the Indianapolis
and Cincinnati railread was very little, only
one of theVatoi tanks being removed.

good to the confederate cause. History tells
us that the Legislature (pea not warrant us
in expecting anything but mischief at its
hands.
The Register says that the Governor's organ,
the Raleigh Standard, is doing all in its power
to incite the people to rebel against the con
federate government. Members of the Legis
lature from Caswell county have come out for
reconstruction of the Union, and the Wil
mington Journal says that other members
are iptending to openly . advocate the same
thing.
The expedition which left on the night of
the 3d ,inst., returned , on the morning of the
7th, having successfully accomplished its ob
ject. Gen. Hickman, commanding tie infantry
and artillery, attacked the ettertir ileat Kings
ton, where he compelled them to remain,
while Lieut. Col. Lewis and Major Cole, with
sixteen companies of cavalry, proceeded on
to Vienansville, ninety miles from Newbern,
where the track of the Wilmington and Welden
railroad was destroyed for a great diitance, by
bending double the rails, burning bridges, &c.
An extensive sabre factory, at Kenaraville,
with many thousand sabres, was burned; also,
an extensive knapsack factory, with some
20,000 knapsacks. Nearly every town through
which the cavalry passed contained a rebel
commissary depot full of confederate stores,
which were burnt, together with great quanti
ties of cotton, tar, pitch, rosin, turpentine,
horses and mules.
Negroes and prisoners were captured in
great numbers. SOmes2oo,ooo in confederate
money was captured from collectors in Vien
ansville, and large amounts from other tax
collectors, amounti n g to nearly half a million,
which, with the immense amount of property
destroyed, is a severe blow to the rebel cause
in North Carolina, all of which was accom
plished without the loss of a man on our side.
FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
LIEUT. SANBORN KILLED.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 12.—Yesterday af
ternoon at four o'clock, Lieut. Sanborn, who
was drilling a colored military company in
front of Andrew Foster's dry goods store on
Main street, Norfolk, was shot, one ball pas
sing in at the mouth and out behind the ear,
and another ball through his body, entering
the left shoulder and coming out at the right,
from the effects of which tio . died in fifteen
minutes.
Doctor Wright, of Norfolk, is charged with
the murder, and had a preliminary examination
last evening before the Provost Marshal, Major
Bovey.
The first witness called was Lieut. Col.
Guyon, 148th New York regiment, who testi-
Des that Lieut. Sanborn had drawn up his
Company on Rain street, in front of Andrew
Foster's store, and was in front of his men
drilling them, when Doctor Wright, who was
in the store, addressed some remarks to Lieut.
Sanborn, who replied if he was further inter
fered with in that way he would arrest him.
The Doctor thereupon advanced and shot
Lieut. S. in. the head. The Lieutenant then
turned upon the Doctor with sword uplifted,
when the Doctor fired a second time, hitting
the Lieutenant first in the hand and passing
through from his left to right shoulder. The
Lieutenant seized the Doctor, and endeavored
to wrench the pistol from his hand, and while
thus struggling they entered the store, a great
crowd following glom. They continued strug
gling for several minutes, when the witness
took the pistol from Doctor Wright and ar
rested him. ' Lieut S. died inabout fifteen
minutes.
Six other . witnesses were examined, whose
testimony was in substance the same as the
above.
The. Doctor was committed to jail.
Lieut. Sanborn was recently from the Quar
termaster Department at Washington, and a
native of Vermont.
Col. Spears, 11th Pennsylvania cavalry, ar
rived at Fortress Monroe to-day. '

GENERAL SIBLEY'S EXPEDITION AGAINST THE IN-
DIANS
CHiCAGO, July dbpitch from
St. Paul says
Gen. Sibley's expedition was sixty-five miles
from Fort Abercrombie last week, suffering ter
ribly from want of water. Gen. Sibley found
vegetation destroyed and the drouth terrible.
A treater portion of Ms provisions were ruined
by the extreme heat. Large numbers of wag
ons were abandoned. The ambulances are full
of sick, and the men and officers are all dis
couraged. A proposal to abandon the expedi
tion had been considered, but Gen. Sibley de
cided to move forward. The chances .are that
he will soon find the country devastated by
prarie fires and be obliged to return.
