"Has the 'radical' press ever taught that the
adminiatration was carrying the war on 'un
conatitutionally,' and for purposes of conquest
—not restoring the Union ?"—Telegraph.
If the "radical" press has not "taught that
the administration was carrying on the war
unconstitutionally," it certainly has claimed
the - right to do so under the convenient "higher
law" than the Constitution, the "war power,"
which, the "radical' press insists, clothes the
President with authority above the Constitu
tion and the laws. And the "radical" press,
including the Telegraph, has, tile and again,
ridiculed the idea of "restoring the Union,"
told us it was folly to think of such a thing,
that it it could not be done, would not be done,
and should not be done. In fact, yes—they
have "taught" that the war was not for a re
storation of the Union, but for freedom—the
emancipation of the negroes—and would
never stop until this was accomplished,
the Southern States converted into provinces,
conquered, subjugated, deprived of every right
and brought, suppliant, to the feet of the ad
ministration_ Many. of them have taught that
it ohenid be a war of conquest—the inhambi
tants butchered, or driven from their homes,
and their lands divided among the soldiers,
negroes and "loyal" Abolitionists. All this
and more that is anti - -republican, anti-consti
tutional, fanatical and barbarous they have
"taught," and yet teach. And this very Tele
graph, whisk new asks whether the !latent
'tress have ever taught the doctrines of the
New York rioters, has winked at, if it has not
applauded every outrage committed upon Don
a:ratio persons and property by Abolition riot
ers, and through its columns not only once, but
often, endeavored to incite citizens and soldierk
"to assault this office, destroy the property and
take summary vengeance upon its owners and
editors. They need but turn to their own files
to stand self-convicted of these charges—and
this has been the character, unscruptious and
atrocious, of the "radical" press, we think,
without a oalitar7 exceptioa.
High Times in liatb s tgasear..
All the world seems to becon the eve of great
events. Here we have been 'Waging an exten
sive civil war for more than two years. In puts
of Asia it is raging fiercely. In Europe the ati
pect of affairs is threatening—any moment the
red demon of war may be loosed, and bayonets
be employed to cut the knot which diplomacy
has drawn so tight that it has not the power to
untie its In the little Kingdom of Greece a
small game of 1-014/Lien Juis been essayed
without success ; and even in Mlidagascar,
whose people we had supposed too ignorant
ana callous to know 'what oppression meant, a
spark has been struck from the apparently dead
log, and some mischief, or good, as the case
may be, done. In fact they have had Lea high
old tune" of it in that dark K - mgdom, and spil
led some royal and aristocratic blood. Here is
a summary of their proceedings :
"It appears that the King yielded himself up
to the advice of evil counsellors. He was ex
postulated with by his subjects, especially with
respect to some bad lora which he had passed.
The King refused to withdraw them, and there
upon the people, slaves, and soldiers amembled
in public places to search for the thirty-three
persons belonging to the court who were sup
.posed to have been the authors of the opprobri
ous measures. Some were seized and mur
dered. The Sing Interceded for the rest, and his
request Gras granted only ao far as their lives
were concerned.:. The next day the King was
assassinated, ° and the council proclaimed his
widow Queen, and announced that Rodama had
committed suicide. The Queen was compelled.
topromise aka/tow/rem ir.lerrzienting drinks."
The world Over mankind appear to be pretty
ranch the same. MOO,: Wi , hold power are
apt to forget right--on 4 those who prize their
rights are apt to bold on to them, to write for
them, fight for them, and even revolutionize
for them.
Our Majesty, like the Majesty. of 'Madagas
cp, hitt "yielded hbngelf up-t 6 the advice . of
evil counsellors ;" and if he did not "pass"
"bad laws," he has shown a decided disposi
tion to enforce them against popular opinion,
and to disregard and trample upon the funds
' mental law, by virtue of which he holds his
office, and without which there could be no
government, and, consequently, noladministra
tibn.
The people of,the United Btates t may bh`eup
posed to Folks' at least awhigh a degree et,
intelligettce Rid fiririut ft' lore of right, and
liberty as the people of Madagascar—and if so,
it is fair to infer that it is dangerous to tread
too heavily l on , their toes. Let our. Majesty take
warning frot2n the fate roajaaky.of Nada
gasear—who is said to have been strangled
with his wife'S garter—and dismiss his evil
counsellors and reform his evil ways in time.
It would be well, perhaps, for the people of
this country, before proceeding to extremities
with those in power who have treated them so
badly, to try the effects of the policy inaugu
rated by the - revolutionists of Madagascar, and
exact from the President end Cabinet, as well
as from the outside counsellors, Wnde and
Chandler, a promise of "abstinence from inioxi
eatirf drinks."
Such a promise, well k9t, might prOhoo a
.
wholesome change in the poliey of the admin.-
ittratiop l and avoid the necessity 0 - a resort to
Sterner measures.

Wise and true to its duties under the ConStitu

its action, (which we regret to say is not the
case,) we should prophesy the end of the rebel
lion and the restoration of peace and the Union
within three months. The great misfortune of
the country is that neither the administratiOn
North nor the 4.dministration South compre
hend the requirements of the hour; nor can
either of them perceive, in their blind fana
ticism and unholy ambition, the path that leads
to true glory, to honor and renown. They are
fighting now not for the 'interests of the na

principlei in the governments North and South,
but for self-preservation and the perpetuation
of power in their own hands, or in the hands
of the parties respectively' by which they are'
mainly supported in their warfare against Con
stitutions, Laws and Liberty. This is the
time for the people North and South to inter
fere, and by iheir'voice—which must be potent
if unanimone---ferce their perdition§ rulers to
close this bloody. war and restore theold order
of things. None but the most crazy fanatics, the
most wickedly ambitions, the contractors who
are thriving on the ruin of their country, and
the thieves who ate dailyrobbing the treasury,
can desire. a governinent other or better than
that given to ws by our' falbersh_ That govern
ment, the people demanding it, can be restored

done.
Tharlow Weed's' Opinion of "Howling
- jAbolltionlota.99
Thurlow Weed, who Was' recently the very
brains of the Republican party, but withdrew
from active participation in its affairs when it
became so far Abolitionized 'as to require no
brains to conduct its policy, has written a letter
to Raymond, of the New York Times, enclosing
$5OO for the relief of the , unfortunate negroes
of that oity who were driven - from their .homes
and stripped of their all by the mob. In this
letter, after alluding to the unreasonable hos
tility of many of the Irish to the negro; and
averring that that hostility is embittered by
the course of Abolition journals and fanatics,
Mr. Weed IMO
"But what cares iVendell Phillips how many
negroes are murdered if their blood furnishes
material for agitation ?
a There is abundant occasion for the public
abhorrence of mob violence. But when all the
circumstances have been revived, the popular
condemnation of those who, while the nation
is struggling for existence, thrust the nnoffend
ing negro forward as :a -target for infuriated
mobs, will become general and emphatic.
Ultra Abolitionists were hailed in South Caro
lina as the best friends' of secession. Prac
tically they are the worst enemies of the col
ored man. But for the " malign influence' of
these howling Abolitioniate, in Congress anti
with the President, rebellion would not, in the
beginning, have assumed such formidable pro
portions; nor, in its progress, would the North
have been divided, dr the Government crip
pled."
THE WHEAT CROP in this vicinity, we are
glad to be able to state, is not nieterially iu
jured by the late heavy rains. By our own
personal experience from a visit to the.cgun
try, within a day or two, and by conversation
with the owner of three large farms, we feel
authorized' to state that - the damage will in no
case,' here about,. exceed five per cent, of the
crop; while in others, though entire 'fields of
it have been for several days in shook; exposed
to daily rains,' the - grain is wholly uninjured.
Much of that which is cat was no doubt gar
nered yesterday. The - average loss by the
excessive rains in Eastern Pennsylyania and.
South Jersey, may safely be set down as not
exceeding two per cent, and probably not more
than one, while the yield et wheat is ohe of the
heaviest ever keown.—Ledger.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON; July 22.—The Invalid Corps
is rapidly reaching its prescribed dimensions.
'Twenty companies of the first battalion have
already been organized, and also seven Com
panies of the second battalion. Recruits are
gathered in St. Louis, Washington, Michigan,
Connecticut, South Carolina and Fortrees Mon
roe, and will soon be brought into the organi
sation. At least twenty-five hundred men
haveOiready enlisted. Some of them are per
forming guard duty at the War Department
and other places. The men are delighted with
the corps, which they regard one of especial
honor.
The statement is erroneous that the thirty
invalid soldiers recently sent to ther . Provost
Marshal's office is New York fired blank cot
ridges at those who assailed them. They each
had silty rounds of ammunition and used them
to the best advantage. Their friends think
this correction is due to their character.
The Treasury Department has issued'notice
to traders, shippers, and carriers, or local
rules and restrictions for the Third Special
Agency, which comprises so much of the State
of North Carolina as ie oi may be in the lines
of military. occupation by the United States
forces. • ,
It appears that commercial intercourse with
localities beyond the lines of military occupa
tion by our troops is strictly prohibited. No
permit will be granted for the transportation
of any articles to any blockaded port or place,
except upon the 'Toutet of the beparlment
of War or of. the Navy, either directly or
through a duly authorized officer, accompanied
by a certificate that the articles are needed for
military or naval purposes. Authorized per
mits will be granted only by the Collector of
Customs at Beaufort, or other office's spe

approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
Until otherwise ordered, no permit will. be
granted to purchase, trade or barter in tar,

private account. No vessel, boat., or other
craft, or vehicle used for transportation, shall
put off any goods, wares or merchandize at any

Hon. Gideon .Trtlles : SIR: Hearing that
General Johnsen was fortifying Yazoo City
with heavy guns, and withering troops there
for the purpose of gathering supplies for his
army from the Yazoo country, and also that
the remainder of the enemy's best transports
were there, allowing a possibility - of his at
tempting to escape, Major General Grant and
myself determined to send a naval and'milita
ry expedition up there to capture them. The
Baron de Kalb, New National: . Xenwood and
Sigbal, were despatched, under command of
Lieut. Commanding Sohn G. Walker, with a.
.
foroo of troops rturaborirg 5,090 men under
Major General Frani.J. Herron. Pushing up
to the city, the Baron de Kalb engaged the bat
teries, which were all prepared to receive her,
and after finding out the,tr, strength, dropped
back to notify . Gen. Herron, who immediately
landed hie men, and thp-army and navy made
lb combined attack on thecnctuy's works. The
rebels soon fled, leaving everything in our pos
session, and set km() to' Mir of their finest
steamers;that ran on the Mississippi in times
past.
' The army pursued the,enemy, and d'aptured
their rear guard, of 260 men, and, at last ac •
counts, were taking more prisoners. Six
heavy guns and one' vessel, formerly a gun
boat, fell into our hands, and , all the munitions
of war. •
Unfortunately, while the Baron De Kalb was
moving slOwlY along, she ran afoul of a tor
pedo, which exploded and sunk her. There
was no sign of anything of the kind to be seen_
While ehe . wasgoing down, another exploded
under her stern. The water is rising fact' in
the Yazoo, and we can do nothing more than
get the guns out of her, and then tow het into

Ottt ENGLAND
The, report of Messrs. Aspinwall, and Forbes,
who liabe recently arrived hero froze England,
is said to be not very'latisfaotory. - It le now
apprehended that the rebel fleet will be - per-
mitted to sail from • the British ports where
they were built in epite.of all the efforts of the
agents of our government.
SHE ATTACK. ON CHARLESTON:
Govern:neat:officials hold the : opinion that
- General Gillniet, has erected bitteries, com
manding the water passage from ,James to
Morrie Leland, thereby preveatlng all chancee
of 'Abel reenfOrcemelits reaching FOrt Wag
ner 'in thit direction. 'he .shoals between
Fort Sipiptfr and Morris Island prevent the
use of our gunboats inobstracting the passage
of troops, and there is a faint chance that they
DAY titrowilifyrarci infantry by night. With
the taking of Wagner, the_ fall of Sumpter is
a foregone conclusion, as the distance from
Morris Island is only seven- eighths of a mile.
MEXICO

ble -basis ; no more decisions shall be sold to
the highest .bidder; the-Catholic religion will
be protected; the banist ed Bishops be recalled,
and Indians and lkborers will no longer be
dragged into the army.
The Waken army is broken into many de
tachments; and are hovering about the City of
Mexico. Gen. Ortega, who, the French say,
violated his parole
,after the capture of Puebla,

San Luis Potosi and the city. Gen. Negretta
