WAR NEWS
The Killed and Wounded.
The city yesterday, especially on Fifth
street . ,was in a state of very great com
motion, occasioned by the arrival of the
names of the killed and wounded - from
this neighborhood, who participated in
the late :engagement in Virginia. The
crowds in the streets, and anxiety to hear
the net% reminded us of the thoughtful
faces we remembered to have seen, in the
same'"llioroughfare, the Sunday of our
defeat at, .Bull Run. The causes for
thoughtftknountenanees, however, upon
these occasions, were very different; one
was sorrow tor the defeat of our arms, the
other a painful anxiety to ascertain wheth
er:firotheni, sons, relatives and friends
had surriied the dreadful havoc in which
they were engaged. It will be seen that
Colonel Black's and Colonel Itowley's
regiments„ . from this neighborhood, have
sufferelargely. The war news contin

THE DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS:
Fourteen members of Congress have
united in issuing an address to "The
Denmerney tit' the United States."

the points set forth in this production
we have no objection : there lire many
things, however, which are neglected,
and which might have been advantageous.
ly introduced in lien of others upon which
the committee lay peculiar emplucds. Our
object, however, is not to dismiss this paper.
but simply to object to any fourteen gen
telmen. whether Congressmen or not, un
dertaking to speak for the Democracy of
the rnited State:4. In the . first place thee
gentlemen have not been authorized to
speak, in that capacity, arid when the peo
ple of that organization do delegate such
power. we are quite certain that it will
not be t., these self-constituted oracles..
There is always "a fitness in things;"
for instance, the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania are summoned, by the regular organ
of their party, to meet by delegates in
Harrisburg on the Fourth of July next, fur
the purpose of consultation, relative to the
condition of our party and the country; that
convention will act totally regardless of
the address alluded to. and such will,
doubtless. he the action of the party in
other States.
Besides such a manifesto, muanating from
only fourteen gentlemen, no matter 'how
respectable, without authority and un
asked fur, looks like a piece of presump
tion. which we can't precisely appreciate.
We see nothing in the tittles to warrout
ouch a perfortuaney; and we see nothing
iu the address that we did not know pre
vious to our reading it. Why it was put
forth ut all is the wily strange thing tut:k
neeled with it, except that it was signed
but by fourteen names, pompously assu
ming to speak for "the Democracy of
the United Statea.•• The Democracy will,
themselves, speak at the pfoper time. and
their utterances will be far more effective
than unauthorized manilestc;cs by Con
gressional Juntos. The old onngreisional
caucus system was broken down in'iS2-t:
after nearly thirty years progress. thii is
scareely the time to revive it.

Ohio: and Thiel. of Oregon, were all friends

other two .igners. we kbow nothing about
as regards late Presidential preferences.
But the object of these Abolition slan
derers is perfectly plain: it is to connect,
if possible. every prominent Democrat in
the North Breekinridge sympathizers,
thereby hoping to keep themselves in pow
er;.the undertaking is a scurvy ore, bat not
too mean for those engaged in it.
HENRY A. WISE, of Virginia. was not al
secessionist until after SPoession 11114 taken
place. His idea was to fight tit the l'nion
for what he .ityled Southern rights. The
idea was not original with hint. lie bor
rowed it from the abolitionists. It was
adopted by Wisconsin several years ago.—
It waSaimply resistance to Federal power
by legislative enactments and judicial de
cisions. It was also adopted, to a certain
extent, by most of the Northern States
where republicanism dominated, in the
form of personal liberty bills. Often it
took the Ibrin of mobs excited by abolition
leaders to resist the execution of Federal
laws. Wisconsin is to-day, in respect to
her unrepealed and nnreversed legislation
and judicial action, as much in rebellion
as any Southern State. The animus of
the abolition idea, adopted by Gov. Wise.
is, that each State, while recognizing the
Federal government in•the abstract, may
accept or reject Federal laws at pleasure.
If abolition has changed its idea, and now
insists that the Federal power is omnipo
tent, it is plain enough what has wrough
the change. —Chicago Times,
General Barrow
According to the-Detroit Tribune, this
not x 1 :§ecessionist, of Nashville, is suffer
ing terrible incarceration at one of the
leading hotels in that city, with rations of
roast, chicken, hot biscuit, and champagne.
As sore as he can communicate with
his Tennessee friends, no doubt others of
them will be anxious to be arrested for
treason.
Fears for tho Safety of Canada
In the Times of the :28th is a long article
urging the adoption of the Canadian com
mission to enrol A force of 100,000 men,
Ma:posed of volunteers and militia,' which
-shall always be available for the defense
of the provinces. The gist of the article
is contained in the closing paragraph.:
"Federal America is in a conquering
mood. The longer this war laststhe more
military and offensive she will become.
A man may serve a campaign and go back
to his shop or his plough, but a man who
. has been three years a soldier is seldom
fit for any other calling, and seldom able
to forego the idle habits and excitement of
a soldier's life. It was some time before
the sans culottes whom Napoleon Bona
parte led into Italy . were drilled by victory
into the faithful imperialist army which
placed him and.,protected .him upon the
throne.. It will be some time, also. before
;he republican volunteers of to-day become
professional soldiers, whoee,onlybusiness
is war. Yet, if history .- has any lessons
worth reading, this must happen if the
-war Continues. Should this' be so, 'and
should Federal America become a con-
Auering republic,,with vassal States and a
permanent military- organization . ,,Cana4
will have to choose whethei she wilrbe a
rival or a slave. If..she,wonld not hill to
the
_intolerable position of being a slave
to 'a deiriaracy she also must have aitrong
military orgszuzation ; and, 'wimps, it
may be prude& not to put off too long a
regular and business-like preparation for
the exigency."

Kentucky, who wrote the call. It 'was.
he said to unite the conservative men, to
put down Abolition and Secession, and to

the St. Louis Democrat says :
Batthrille, Arkamas, May 6.—The Union
feeling, which prevails along the route to this
place has been at a 14 w ebb, has di..played
itself in a most gratifying manner. Since
the arrival of Gen. Curtis' army here,
men from the surrounding towns are daily
coming in and avowing themselves on the
side of the old Government. The day we
reached here thirty men came in from a
distance of twenty miles to congratulate
us on our arrival. Large numbers of seces
sionists are voluntarily coming forward
and taking the oath of allegiance, stating
that the Southern Confederacy is dead.
Many of the townships are loyal to the
core, and it has only beet' the larger villa
ges, where the nei.,y politicians have kept
the thing alive, that have overawed the
country people.
Arkansas lies prostrate at the feet of the
Government. There are no Rebel troops
in the State,*except Crdetnan's Jay Haw
kers and some Texas regiments, said tube
at Little Rock.
Ali the steamboats on the Arkansas and
White rivers have been taken away by the
Rebels to prevent their Ming into our
hands.
By order of lieu. Curtis twenty-eight
slaves, belonging to Judge Martin, of Polk
Bayou. Ark.. were captured on the 8d in
stant. in Independence county, while be
ing taken South by agents of the rebellion.
and havebeen confiscated and emancipated
and allowed to go wherever they please.

Capital. Our navy, fruitful with victories,
presents no more signal achievement than
this, nor is there any exploit surpassing it
recorded in•the annals of naval warfare.

Southern metropolis, and obtaining pos
session and control of the lower Missis
sippi, yourself, your officers and our brave
sailors and marines, whose daring and
courage bear historic renown, have won a
nation's gratitude and applause. I con
gratulate you and your command on your
great success in having contributed so
largely towards destroying the unity of the
rebellion, and in restoring again to the
protection of the national government and
national flag, the important city of the
Mississippi Talley, and so large a portion
ofits immediate dependencies. Your exam
ple and its successful results, though at
tended with some sacrifice of life and loss
of 'ships, inculcate the tact that the first
duty of a commander in want is to take
great risks for the accomplishment of great
ends. One and all, officers and men, com

General Schenck7B Skirmish.
WAsurxoTox, May 10.—Information has
been received tit WarOepartment that
General Sch.atca. after a forced march of
thirty-four miles in less than twenty-four
hours, had made a junction with General
Milroy, at McDowell, Va.
A short engagement with the enemy
immediately ensued. The rebels endeav
ored
to plant a battery in a position com- '
manding our troops. General Schenck
succeeded in preventing this, and then fell
back on the main body as ordered. Our
loss is six killed and seventy-live wounded.
The rebels appeared to have suffered ter
ribly.
Major Trimble, after being reinforced
by three companies of the Tenth Virginia,
and a company of the First Virginia Cav
alry, had soundly thrashed the guerrillas
who had been ravaging • the country, and,
expected to kill or eapttre the whole
gang.
General Butler has forwarded to - the
War Department, among other trophies,
the rebel morning report of the force at
Fort Jackson, from which it appears that
the aggregate number in the fort during
the fight was seven hundred and thirty
seven. A sort of diary was kept, under
the head of "remarks, " in which it is
stated that on the sth f April a gunboat
and steam sloop of war appeared in sight
of Fort Jackson, and were fired at; on the
11th, that sixty of Diary's cannoniers ar
rived yesterday. The arrival of the rest
of our fleet is duly chronicled; the great
precision of the fire from the mortar boats
is complimented, and the shelling is men
tioned as continuing all night on the 24th,
without intermission. It says: "At at A.
four sloops-of4ar and a number of
gunboats made a dash to pass the fort.
Some were disabled, or sunk, or driven
back; eleven or twelve succeeded in pass
ing. On the 27th, five Federal gunboats
were reported to be lying near the Quar
antine, flying flags of truce."
Deprewolon Among the Rebels.
NEW MARKET, Va., May 10.—lleserters
from the enemy report that the recent
Union victories caused the greatest de
pression among the rebel officers, who
look upon their cause as hopeless. The
soldiers are very ragged, and without
means of renewing their clothing, and
hundreds would desert if it was generally
known that they would be kindly received
by our officers.
The enemy's .ranks are becoming daily
thinned by desertion. No new move
ments of the enemy have been disclosed
within the last fortpeight hours. Scat
tering rebel scouts are occasionally seen
in the Eastern valley, above Columbia
bridge, who fly on the approach of our
men.
The wheat crop in this country is luxu
riant, and the fru it trees bear promise of
an abundant yield, and are considered be
yond danger by frost. Active scouting is
kept up between here and Hanieoulmig.

3 P. M.—The pursuit of the retreating reb
els by our troops, under command of Gen
eral Stoneman, has in every respect been
successful. His headquarters are now
here, within twenty-seven miles of Rich
mond, while the advance, consisting of the
Bth Illinois cavalry, is five miles ahead.
The enemy is in sight, but gradually fall
ih back.
The inhabitants have, in nearly every
instance, left. From the best information
that has been obtained, the enemy will
make a stand at Bottom Bridge, fifteen
miles from Richmond, on the head waters
of the Chiekahominy river.
General McClellan, with the main body
of the army, is rapidly following up within
a few miles.
Cumberland, a small town on the Potn
, onky river, and two miles and a half from
here, was deserted this morning by. the
enemy, and is now occupied by our troops.
There are no rebels to be seen, as reported
by our scouts, this side of the Chickahom
illy river, except on the direct road to
Richmond.
The force under Gen. Stoneman con
sisted of the Second Rhode Island Ninth
Pennsylvania regiment of infantry, Capt.
Robinson's battery of Light Artillery and
the Sixth Pennsylvania Cavalry under Ma
jor Williams.
The rear guard of the enemy which re
mained here last night, and which our men
had to drive before them, was Gen. Long
street's Division, consisting of ten regi
ments of Infantry, two batteries and the
First Virginia Cavalry.
Our advance was this morning strength
ened on ascertaining the force et the ene
my, by the Bth Illinois cavalry and two
regiments of the First New York Brigade.
The enemy on leaving herethis forenoon
fired two buildings containing commissary
and quarterinaster's stores.
The engagement. yesterday between our'
advance and the enemy's rear at Slater's
Mills, three miles from here, resulted in 14
of the enemy's cavalry being killed and
several taken prisoners. They secured al
their wounded.
The Sixth Cavalry, which made a most
brilliant charge had three men killed,
three men missing and thirteen wounded.
Howell Cobb remained here last night
and left with the rebels this morning.
The enemy's retreat has been most admi
rably accomplished, carrying almost every
thing with them in the shape of forage and
provisions, the wagon trains moving in the
day time and their troops at night. The
enemy covered their retreat with a line of
skirmishers stretched along the country
driving in their stragglers at the point of
the bayonet.
.The Richmond papers.of the sixth make
no mention of the movements of their
army.
The country betmieen here and Bottom
Bridge is thickly wooded with few clear
ings and in many places low and marshy.
The jail here was burnt yesterday.
The railroad from West Point to the
bridge, where it crosses the Tomonky
River has been torn up.. The destruction
of the bridge will probably follow.
