PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
The army of the Potomac is resting,
preparatory to the grand advance by Mc-
Clellan, which will capture the rebel capi
tal, and cause rebellion's overthrow in
Virginia. In the West, things are equally
imminent ; a tremendous battle between
Halleck and Beauregard is hourly expect
ed, and upon the issue of it the immediate
crushing, or the further postponement of
hostilities in that locality depends. This
engagement promises to be a terrific one,
as Halleck seems confident of victory,
while Beauregard is reported as being en- 1
trenched most securely, having an army
at his disposal of over one hundred and
twenty thousand men: On the ad instant,
he issued the - following address to his
' 4 army, in which he intimates that the issue
. of the impending battle is to decide the
fate of the Southern Confederacy:
HEADQVARTERS OF TEE FORCES AT 1
CORiNTII, Miss., May 2,1862.
Soldiers of Shiloh and Elkhorn.:—We
are about to meet once more, in the shock
of battle, the invaders of our soil, the
despoiler of our homes, the disturbers of
our family ties, face to face, hand to hand.
We are to decide whether we are to be
freemen or vile slaves of those who are
free only in name, and who but yesterday
were vanquished, -although in largely
superior numbers, in their own encamp
ments, on the ever memorable field of
Shiloh. Let the impending battle decide
our fate, and add a more illustrious page
to the history of our revolution—one to
which our children will point with noble
pride, saying, " Our fathers were at the
battle of Corinth." I congratulate you
on your timely junction. With your
mingled banners, for the first time during
this war, we shall meet our foe in strength
that should give us victory. Soldiers, can
the result be doubtful? Shall we not
drive back into Tennessee the presumptu
ous mereenaries collected for our sub
jugation? One more manly effort, and,
trusting in God and the justness of our
cause, we shall recover more than we have
lately lost. Let the sound of our victori
ous guns to be re-echoed by those of the
army of Vitinia on the historic battle
field of Yorktown
G. T. BEAUREGA RD,
General Commanding.

J. M. OTEY,
Acting A ssist.. Adjt. Geu.
From the Charleston _Mercury of May
sth we learn that recruits have been pour
ng in to Gen. Beauregard, " who fully
possesses the hearts of the people." It is
believed in New Orleans that. he has over
one hundred thousand effective men, inde
pendent of several thousand who are now
unfit for duty. The impression among
them is that Beam regard can defeat Buell
and Halleck, for the reason that the pre
. :fumed battle-field, Corinth, will be a safe
distance from_ our gunboats.- For these
destructive engines the rebel leaders seem
to have a most profound contempt.
The Savannah
. .11epublidan of May sth
talks very confidently of Beauregard and
MS ragged army:
"The-two grand armies now stand front
to front, separated only bY a space of limir
or five wiles. Thel.luafederales are-ready.
and will probably await an attack. The
battle may not occur to-day, but it can
hardly be postponed beyond-to-morrow.—
The enemy will be badly (Wraith, as to onr
strength. With Van Dorn we will have
= - - - - - -thonsand men. The weather is cloudy
but without rain: The skirmishing was
very-heavy yesterday; the confederate loss
was about twenty in killed and wounded.
— We captured two federal - oflicers—a colonel
and n major."
The Atlanta Confederacy of the same
date is - not quite so confident as the Re
publican; it says:
•
"Indications point -strongly to a battle
coming off at Corinth at an early day;
which for_magnitude of the threes engaged
will eclipse any . that ever transpired in
America. Our - Judgment is that the Yan
kees have nearly one hundred and fifty
thouimid men. Beauregard is well nigh
flanked on all aides. He has an immense
_ army, but not so large as the enemy. It
were idle lo.:coseeal• the fact that we hare
some fears for the result. There is such a
thing as being utterly overwhelmed with
numbers, against which we can-provide no
remedy.
..lf ,Southera valor and able gen
eralship can win a victory, Beauregard
and his army will win it. A defeat at that
point would be a severe bloW, particularly
as we see no way for escape except falling
back towards Mobile—a direction in which
he is not wanted, for we want his army to
go to Nashville and Louisville.
"But though such a defeat would be
painful and severe, we can endure it. We
can endure the loss of Beauregard's and
Johnston's armies, and then secure our
independence:- If our day of triumph
don't come sooner, it Will come when the
Yankees venture into our interior and at
tempt to . subjugate and hold -ender subjec
tion our people at their homes. If not
before, Yankee temerity will then have
overstepped the boands of safety and suc
cess to them in, this war of conquest."
Another account published in the Col u m
bus Sun, after alluding to things gener
ally, comes down from the hundred and
thirty thousand previously claimed for
•
Beauregard's and says :
"We had an interview last evening with
Col. A. W. Starke, of Alabama, who has
just returned from Corinth, illississippi I
He reports that oar army has suffered,
snuck from sickness, but there are about
75,000 effective nten, and reinfiweeseeenlsi

represents to be the finest looking body of

advanced three wiles on our front from
.their former position. Our Officers and

of the South, at the courts or the powers

pendence are very forlorn, or that they
hate our government far more than they
regard their peculiar institution.
The usually well informed New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquir
er, noticing these transatlantic rumors,
thus remarks:
"The Paris correspondent of the Lin
don Morning Herald, in a second edition
on the 29th, (received by the Hansa, )states
that the Emperor has again been making
overtures to the British Government to
interfere in the American war, and the
statement is coupled with an intimation
chat a number of men-of-war, which had
just sailed front French ports for Vera
Cruz, would turn up at. New Orleans.
These stories are almost too absurd for
print, but as certain parties have been
employing them, "in the street," for specl
ulative purposes, it is well enough to men
tion them, if but to say that nobody is
green enough to believe them.
"The Morning Herald is a journal that
has been for months past in the pay of the
rebels. It never tells the truth of the
United States—editorially—while its cor
respondent in Paris has a habit of seizing
upon every canard prejudicial to us, and
magnifying it as much as possible for the
edification of the Londoners. This las
story about European intervention, there

Decision Before Judge Wayne,
In April last Jas. Chenoweth was in
dicted by the United States District Conn
of Southern Ohio for treason. The de
fendant's implication in the crime was it
selling fire-arms to the agents of the rebels.
The constitution defines it thus:
"The Constitution of the United States,
Article 3, Section 3, provides that 'Trea
son against the United States shall con
sist only •in levying war against them, or
in adhering to their enemies, giving them
aid and comfort.' "
The defendant was guilty, it would seem,
of the latter part of the crime as above de
fined. Last week the ease came up be
fore Judges Wayne and Leavitt, in the Cir
euit Court of the United States. Judge
Wayne decided tint "levying war"
under the meaning of the law,) against
the United States Government, related to
treason by rebellion, unit that eiving them
"aid and comfort." refers to a public war
with a foreign enemy.
There was a m tion made to q !lash the
indletment and it was sustained by the
Court, with the following opinion. We
quote it substantially:
"This indictment is framed under the
second provision of this section of the
statute. That provision relates exclusive
ly to adheringto the enemies of the United
States, and giving them aid mid cotnli.rt.
The prior provision relates to leying war ,
against the United States. It has no con
nection with the question involved in this ,
motion, and need not be further adverted I
fr.
ttesupport of the motion to quash, it
is claimed that the provision in the. Eng
lish statute corresponding to the provision
in our statute, upon which this indictment
s founded, has always been held by the
English courts to apply only to those who
adhere andgive aid and comfort to foreign
enemies, and that it has no application to
those who commit the like acts in respect
of domestic, traitors, engaged in insurrec
tion or rebellion against their own gov
t eminent.
"It it further claimed by the counsel for
the defendant that this provision of the
English statute having been thus adopted,
it must be held that the construction given
to it by the English Courts prior to its
adoption, was adopted with it.
"It is a sound rule that whenever our
Legislature use a term without defining it
—which is well known in the English law
—and there has a definite, appropriate
meaning attached to it, they must be sup
posed to use it in the sense in which it is
understood in the English law.
"This is in accordance with all the au
thorities upon the subject.
The authorities which establish the con
struction contended for by the defendant's
counsel also lay down the proposition
that the same facts which make a ease
within the statute of adhering and giving
aid and comfort to foreign enemies, when
done in respect of insurgents and rebels,
make the offender gatlty of the crime of
levying war against the Government, and
liable to he punished under the other pro
vision of the statute for the offense.
Com„ 62.)
The question presented by this motion
permits of no doubt as to the proper so
lution
"We sit here to administer the law, no
o make it.
"Wi;h the excitements of the hour, we,
as Judges, hive nothing to do. They
cannot change the law nor affect our duty.
Causeless and wicked as is this rebellion,
and fearful se has been its cost already in
blood and treasure, it is not the less our
duty to hold the scales of justice, in all
cases, with a firm and steady band.
"The motion must be sustained. The
indictment will be quashed.

From Fortress Monroe.
The expedition under Gen. Wool, which
sett Fortress Monroe on Saturday morn
ing last, effected a safe landing at Mount
Pleasant Point, and immediately com
menced the march upon Norfolk. They
met with no opposition, Sewall's Point
having been evacuated the day before, and
the Rebel forces being in fell retreat.—
Two of the enemy's pickets, who were
asleep near the shore where the landing
was effected, were. taken prisoners and
brought to the Fortress the next evening.
Gen. Max Weber now occupies the enemy s
entrenched camp, a few miles this side of
Norfolk, in which were found twenty-nine
cannon. Gen. Wool and.staff rode through
the streets of Norfolk at four o'clock on
Monday afternoon. The Stars and Stripes
were hoisted over the Court House, and a
decided Union feeling was prevalent. The
Rebels burned the two large ship-houses
in the Navy Yard. It was the light of this
conflagration which was the object of so
much interest and speculation at this point
night before last. It is believed•here that
they were afraid to burn the city, on ac
count of an agreement 'with the French
Minister to the contrary. The same ar
rangement exists in regard to Richmond,
on account of the French residents and
property holde in that ity.. Fie-the
same reason, they did not c burn New Or
leans.

TREASON
"The meeting held yesterday by con
servative members of Congress was well
attended. Some of the representatives
ranking as conservatives were absent from
the city. but the number in attendance was
tinly or fifty. r. Crit ten . den presided;
atarAlr. Coi, Ohio, acted as Secretar,
Among those who took a decided part in fa
vor of the objects of the meeting were Mr.
Sheffield. of Newport, Rhode Island, and
Mr. Crisfield, of Maryland. No measure
was adopted ex ept to appoint a committee
to report at an adjourned meeting Tuesday
night, as to the steps proper to be taken.
It was agreed, however, to unite their ef-
forts to prevent the passage of the Lovejoy
general abolition bill, which is to come up
to-morrow. The passage of that bill, fol
lowing the District. Abolition bill, would,
it is believed, unite every Border Slave
State against the federal government, and
prolong the war indefinitely. It would ren
der hopeless any attempt to restore the
Union and re-establish peace in the coun
try. But thatis the very reason, probably,
why it is urged at this time by the radical
abolitionists.
THE Lancaster Intelligence,. says that
Henry S. Magraw, late State Treasurer, has
purchased the old family homestead, in
the upper part of Cecil county, Maryland,
where his father, the late Rev. James
Magraw, D. D., resided for many years, u
Paster of the West Nottingham Presbyter
lan Church, and principal of the West
Nottingham Academy. The farm lies ad
joining the Church and Academy. It has
changed owners several times since it pass-
ed from the Magraw family.
Singular Coolness Under Fire
Col. A. Willich, commander of the In
diana German Thirty-second, which had
the brilliant tight some months since,
across from Munfordsville, Kentucky, has
sent in his report of the action of his reg
iment at Pittsburg. They had ten killed
and ninety-two wounded. Every single
officer and all the privates, with a few ex
ceptions, fought with the utmost bravery
and coolness under tho hottest fire. "As
a proof of the bitter, I will mention," lays
Col. Willieh, "that when their firing be;
Came a little 'wild,' during the last charge,
I stopped the firing and drilled them in
the manual of arms, which they all went I
through as if on the parade ground: they I
then opened a deliberate, steady and effect
ive fire."
The Herald.
The New York Herald recently came
out and abused the religious anniversaries
lately held in that city ; and the World
administers the following rebuke :
" That the editor of the New York Her
ald should hate the clergy is natural. It
is morally impossible that a long career of
selfishness and baseness should leave the
heart in any condition to admire virtue and
self-sacrifice. This, everybody under
stands, is one of the retributive effects of
an evil life. The soul becomes not only
essentially bad, but it recoils from every
thing that is not bad. In most cases it
simply recoils. There is a shunning, an
avoidance;.--that is all. It is atilßeiently
pleased..to be let alone. But there is a

An army retreating through a friendly and

could serve its pursuers, can of course out
strip those pursuers, and by turning sud
denly in force upon their advance, can en
gage them with a great advantage in num

But in either case the Confederates were

have greatly exceeded our own. An army

New Naval Expedition Against
Charleston, Savannah and Mobile.
The Herald, alluding to our late naval
successes, remarks that, now that the de
struction of the Merrimac and the capture
of Norfolk leave the spuadron that. we
have been compelled to keep in Hampton
Roads free to move to other points, not a
day should be lost in sending it to operate
against the three ports above named. At
Charleston foreign steamers conveying
arms and ammunition to the rebels still
continue to run 'the blockade, and it is im
portant to the prompt completion of the
work that General McClellan has in hand
that a stop shall be at once put to these
supplit s. It. is, moreover, but simple jus
tice that the city which first unfurled the
flag of treason, and which has always dis
tinguished itself by its turbulent and
mutinous spirit, shall not be suffered to
escape to the last the penalty of its crimes.
There is no physical reason why it should
be further exempted limn an attack by our
naval forces. '1 he eapture of New Or
leani, under difficulties to which the har
bor and defences of Charleston present no
parallel, shows that the Monitor, Galena
and Naugatuck, aided by a few of our
gunboats. could reduce the latter with the
greatest ease. They would have as little
trouble in disposing of the defences of Sa
vannah, in the neighborhood of which w,
have a large for c e Iving idle under General
Hunter. At Mobile we are told the rebels
have a Humber of gunboats and iron rains
prepared to receive us. After nor experi
ence at New Orleans and Tort Wright id
rite inetlicieney of the latter, our naval
officers need entertain bat little apprehen
sion of them. We repeat that our coast
operations should be at. once followed lip
by the capture Of those three ports. If
the Navy I)prart nit,nt is too lazy to act on
the suggestion, let the President do as he
has just done at Fortress Monroe—super

Things at Richmond
The Eastern newspapers are crowded
with a variety of incidents, illustrative of
the present condition of affairs at the
capitol at Richmond. The Herald, re
marking upon this budget of odds and
ends, says the city is Ruda. a panic, its in
habitants have given up the last shadow of
a hope that the army of Joe Johnston can
resist the advance of General McClellan
the money changers are on the alert, under
the very noses of the rebel authorities,
buying up all the United States Treasury
notes they can lay their hands on ; famine
prices tbr provisions, groceries and dry
goods prevail; choice butter, for example,
one dollar and twenty-five cents per pouni'
and other articles of necessity in pror
tion.
t appears, too, that cotton and tobacco
hand, Might up on foreign account,
are, on the approach of the Union army,
to be burned with the stocks of Southern
citizens—share and share alike. That
Virginia warehoused tobacco of August
Belmont, or of the Paris RothSchilds, or
of the French government, as the case may
be, is therefore in a very critical situation,
notwithstanding those late mysterious visits
to Richmond of Monsieur Mercier. In a
word, terrorism, despair, destitution and
universal confusion and dismay are the
fruits which the unhappy people of Rich
mond are now gathering from their ripened
and rotting Southern Confederacy.
As a graphic picture of an old secession
topers views of the present condition of
V irginia and the rebel cause therein, we refer
the reader to the latest message of Gov.
Letcher on the subject. The old proverb has
it that "when the wine is in the wit comes
out;" and it is very clear from Governor
',etch er' s ideas of an aggressive war that this
old maxim is. equally applicable to bald
faced whiskey, What a sorry spectacle is
this bemnddled and befuddled Governor,
preaching, under the present st ate of things
in Virginia, an aggressive war against the
United States through 31aryland into Penn

:etch of Williamsburg.
Williamsburg is a city in Virginia, and
was at one time the capital of the State.—
It is now the capital of the county °finales
City. It is situated about ten miles from
Yorktown, sixty miles from Richmond in
a southeast direction, and about sixty-eight
miles northwest of Norfolk, on a plain be
tween the James and York rivers, and at
an equal distange of six miles from each.
It is the oldest incorporated town in the
State, and WAS and still is interesting in its
historic associations. It was the seat of
the Royal Government previous to the rev
olution, sad Wail afterwards the capital of
the State until 1799. William and Mary
College, founded at this place in I1;92. is the
oldest literary institution in North Ameri.
ea, excepting Harvard University, and
was, previous to the rebellion, in a very
flourishing condition. The library contain
ed about 5,000 volumes. and the students
in attendance generally numbered from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty. Wil
liamsburg is the seat of the Eastern Lu
natic Asylum, which at one time stood de
servedly high for its neatness, order and
comfortable accotinodations. It had, in
1860, about two hundred patients, and a
handsome edifice, with all the modern im
provements in arrangement. The town at
that time contained three churches—Epis
copalian, Baptist and Methodist. The de
scriptions of Williamsburg published over
one hundred years ago resemble it in many
respects at the present time. Many of the
old buildings are standing; but now these
monuments of the past hid fair to be swept
away by the storm of war. To write the
history of Williamsburg is to write the his
tory of early Virginia. This place was the
scene of several of the Revolutionary con
tests. Two minor actions were fouglit here;
but all these will be forgotten iu view of
the present events of which it is the the
atre. It was fifst settled in 1662, and the
estimated population before the rebellion
was 1,500.
The county of James City contains one
hundred and eighty:four square miles, and
is bounded on the northeast by the York
river, on the south by the James river, and
on-the west by Chickahominy river. The
surface of the country is undulating. This
county is one of the eight original shares
into which Virginia was divided in 1634.
The population of the county is about four
thousand, of whom nearly one-half are
slaves.

DR. B. BRANDRETR—Dear Sir: I was suf
fering for many years from hereditary hemorrhoi
dal affections, of which I bad the first attack in
1846. Sines that time I was regularly visited with
such complaints every spring. I felt in the morn

elute of the spine were broken or bruised, and an
estbmatio pressure on. the abed. Owing to my oc
cupation which keeps me all day busy out o.
doors, and entirely distrusting any so called "regu

my house, I thought of following a plan of my
own, which might cure me without the inconveni

a "regular practitioner." So I put an Allcock's

gone down to raise her. It was supposed
she would be afloat again by to-day. The
Federal gunboat Mound City did excellent
service during the engagement. She was
struck in a similar manner to the Cincin
nati, but not so badly damaged: She
was run into shoal water, where_ she
settled to the bottom. She has been
pumped out, and arrived here to-day for
repairs.
During the heat of the engagement one
of the rebel gunboats got hold of one of
the Federal bomb ketches and was towing
it away, when the Benton bore down upon
her, and after a brief skirmish compelled
the rebel to release her prize.
The casualties on board the Cincinnati
were:—Captain Sternbel, shot through the
neck, wound not expected to prove
serious; Fourth Master Reynolds, shot
through the abdomen, since died; two sea
men, names not know, slightly wounded
in the hands.
There has been no arrival from Pitts
burg since Sunday.

From lialleek's Army.
MONTEREY, May 14.—A reconnoissance
by a party under Brig. Gen. Smith had a
skirmish with the rebel pickets on our
Tight, killing two, wounding three and
capturing five. Our loss was two. :The
party went within half a mile of the
rebel battery, supported by a brigade of
infantry just outside of the intrenchments.
The Commanding General moves his
camp to-day four miles from here to the
front. Our forces average from two and a
' half to three miles from the intrenchments,
although the army is advancing slowly, be
cause of the nature of the ground, neces
sitating the building of corduroy roads and
bridges.
It, is generally understood that the en
gagement. will come off in the course of a
week.
CuicAoo, May ls.—Special dis to
the Tribune A Cairo dispatch fropmatch Fort
Wright at noon yesterday says that a
rebel tug has this moment rounded the
point and is reconnoitering everything,
which seems to indicate renewed activity
and both aides were expecting an attack
momentarily.
A deserter came on board the flag boat
Benton yesterday, and states that the rebel
ram in the engagement on Saturday was
not sunk as reported, but was terribly
shattered. Our gunners undoubtedly fired
moat of their shots above the water-line,
and they struck where the ram was heavily
plated. Experienced naval men are of the
opinion had the same number of shots been
fired at the water line or below it, would
have sent every rebel craft to the bottom.
The deserter reported the rebel fleet laying
off the Fort busily engaged in repairing
the damages, promising faithfilly to return
in forty-eight hours to Pittsburg.
It is not expected that an attack would.
be made on the enemy's position for sev
eral days, our siege guns not being in posi
tion.
Gen. Haßeek is advancing continuously,
carefully fortifyingas he advances. All his
advances are predicted on the supposition
that the enemy are in large force at Corinth,
and thathe intends making a stand at Grand
Junction, it being fortified by Beauregard,
with the evident intention of falling back
there if beaten at Corinth.
The number of the enemy's troops is
estimated at Halleck's Headquarters at
from one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and seventy thousand.

The Appeal of the 11th says, we have
certain intelligence that Heck's lois was
over five thousand men• by desertion; the
country between the Tennessee river and
Kentucky being full of them. The whole
of the 40th Ohio deserted and was disban
ded after the battle of the seventh, and
numbers of Kentuckians and Missourians

disaffection produced ' by the late anti
