WAR NEWS
Yesterday wo published a telegram from
Gen. HaHeck's department, announcing
that Gen. Pope, with forty thousand men,
had advanced beyond. Corinth and cap
tured ten thousand rebel prisoners and
that the remainder of Beauregard's army
were flying in every direction, utterly
frightened for their lives.
It is now reported that Memphis and
Fort Pillow surrendered to our forces on
Friday night ; it is also reported that Beau
regard himself has been captured, but this
is not confirmed. At all events, whether
he is or not, his army is disbanded, which,
in connection with the surrender of Mem
phis and Fort Pillow, clear out all serious
opposition to our forces in the Valley of
the Mississippi. The only serious obstacle
remaining to the hasty prostration of the
rebellion is the rebel army at Richmond;
that its destruction is inevitable. is sure;
the accounts we have already published of
the battles there demonstrate the utter
impossibility of the rebels being able to
withstand the determined and frantic
charges of our forces. The annals of
warfare do not furnish accounts of more
determined valor than was shown by our
soldiers before Richmond in the late en
gagements.
THE ADMINISTRATION AND
GOV. STANLEY.
There seems to be a very-serious misun
derstanding between the Administration at
Washington and Governor Stanley, the
representative ofthe overnment in Nort
Caroling. The Governor, upon his arri
val at, Newbern, announced that his in
structions were to enforce the laws of the
State, precisely as they existed before the
rebellion began. This interfered with the
arrangements of some abolition school
teachers who had fastened themselves in
Newbern, holding out all sorts of induce
ments to encourage runaway slaves, under
the plausible pretext of teaching free ue
groes howto read and write. Guy. Stanley
not only put a stop to this, but he returned
to loyal citizens some of these runaways. In
fact the school dodge appears to have been
the flimsiest pretext for these abolition
adventurers, whose real business in North
Carolina was -the running of slaves off
to the North. But Governor Stanley put
a stop to this. In addition to this Govern
or Stanley made these abolitionists return
to their owners a number of slaves they
had stolen, among them a yellow girl, be
longing to a Mr. .Nicholas Bragg. That
night, however, a number of Massachu
setts soldiers went to Bragg's house, broke
open his door, took the girl and set fire to
the house. The next day Gov. Stanley
sent word to all the Captains in port that
if they took away with them runaway or
stolen slaves their vessels would be confis
-cated upon their return to Newborn.
A correspondent, alluding to these pro
ceedings of Gov. Stanley, comments as
follows :
" Of course all this has cheered up the
drooping spirits of the long -prostrated
and abused loyal people. of Newbern.
Once more they see daylight, and the pros
pect of the good Old North State coating
back into the futon was never brighter or
more hopaki. A few more such good j
movorn the part of the Administration
e uppoitanient of Governor Stanley,
and we shall have a happy return to
peace. The old States, seeing the great mis
apprehension they have been under, would
return to their allegiance. forsake the er
ror of their ways, and all would be well."
But just here the trouble begins ; our
agitators, in the name of philanthropy,
wish to know if Governor Stanley is act
sing instructions from the Govern
ment; and the Government, it is said, re
pudiates his proceedings. If this be so,
it is - simply a repudiation of acts imputed
to Governor. Stanley by the fanatics, and
not a reprimand for any positive act he
has', committed. The Government could
not object to the tuition of colored chil
dren in North Carolina, or in any other
State; but when Governor Stanley discov
ered that the object was not to teach the
young idea, hut to encourage all sorts of
hostility between the master and his slaves,
he was compelled to act precisely as l' e
did. It is to be seen, however, whether
the Administration will repudiate the
course of its representative in North
Carolina, when he informs them of all the
facts, and whether they or the Abolition
ists are the best judges as to the proper
course to be pursued in bringing North
Carolina back' int o-t he Union. Governor
Stanley is for the enforcement
.of the se-
verest enactments against those iu rebel-
lion; he is for the confiscation of their
property. whether in lands or slaves; he
is for the Most stringent enactments that
can be framed against them, but ho is not
for ptiniShing: thee* who; like himself,
have remained firm in their allegiance.
This discrimination, however, * does not
suit the Sumners, and the luestion now is
whether the policy of the Administration
is to be affected by the representations of
.its own 'Governor, or by tho fury and false
hood of his enemies.
FOR CONGRES&
Col. -Jacob Zeigler, of Butler, has re
ceived the nomination fur Congress for
that county, subject to the decision of the
district. We have no doubt "uncle Jacob"
will make the landing in the nomination
and be elected of course.
The delegates to the State Convention
from Butler are James M. Bredin, Robert
Montgomery and James G. Campbell.
REMOVED.
The Postinasterin Te.mperaneevidle, op
posite Pittsburgh, was removed the other
•day at the .instance, we believe, of the
member of Congress from this district,
without the knowledge of the people of the
borough. A remonstrance 'extensively
signed by meu of both panics has been for
warded. But what is the use?
Wir We have heard many inquiries
made as to the whereabouts of Col. Leh
man during the recent fight before Rich
mond. We undeistand•he was in this city
at the time, and in good:health.
Gen. McClellan
.The fair minded portion of the Repute•
lican press are pouring
,hot shot into the
"monster Greeley," for attempting to
disparage Gen. McClellan. The New York
World says :
Gen. McClellan is so nobly asserting his
claim to be ranked among the first soldiers
of the age that his friends are content to
await the progress of events for his vindi
cation from the persistent aspersions of
the last six months. The more intelli
gence we get from the battle on the Chick
ahominy, the more important does it ap
pear, and the more complete our success.
Gen. McClellan's fame in the conduct of
this war, and of the immediate campaign
in Virginia, must rest on a full record of
the facts, and his friends have no other
solicitude than that these should he fairly
reported and duly weighed.
---
The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks :
The insolent, malicious and mischievons
abuse of our noble young general, which
did not cease even after the victory at
Williamsburg, and which was heard from
the New York Tribune even at the very
moment when the popular heart was swel
ling with pride over the splendid achieve
ment before Richmond, must now cease.
The outrageous attacks made upon him by
Congressmen, politicians and ignorant
critics, have received their sufficient reply.
The people will tolerate them no more.
George B. McClellan has won the heart of
the nation, and has proved himself to be
the greatest General in America, if not in
the world.
!Pa" The Democracy of Butler county
met in Convention on Monday last, and
nominated a full ticket for the coming
fall election. They passed a series of
spirited resolutions, from which we select
the following:
"Resolved, That we consider the work
ings of the twin political heresies of Abo
lition and Secession the true causes of the
present unhappy condition of our beloved
country: both aiming at the same object,
the destruction of the 'Union of our fath
ers, which, with Washington, we revere as
the palladium of our liberties, and its
preservation as necessary to our continued
existence as a free people.
"Resolved, That WI? will sustain the
President in all his efforts to sustain the
Constitution as it is; to restore the Union
as it was, and to enforce the laws, until
peace and order shall be established in
every quarter of our once prosperous and
happy, though now distracted and bleed
ing country.
"Resolved, That we admire the patriotic
course of Senator Cowan, and other con
servative members of the Republican par
ty, who have nobly withstood the tide of
fitnaticism, attempting to divert this war
front its original and only lawful purpose,
viz: the preservation of the Constitution
and the Union, and the enforcement of the
laws."
What Shall We Do with the Ne-
groes f'
This is a question which is seriously ag
itating the minds of the working classes in
our midst. The great influx of contra
bends has only commenced, but loud are
complaints against them. While the white
laborer commands but poor requital tl.r
his toil, that of the negro comes in, and,
in some instances takes his place. This
the working dais will not or should they
submit to. A day or two ago we noticed
four of. five negroes mowing grass in Capi
tol Park, when we were informed that
white men were refused the job. This pol
icy will not work in Pennsylvania, for our
people have not reached fanaticism to such
an extent as to believe that "adarkey is as
good as a white man, Snot a little better...
There can never be an equalityol the'races
—like oil and water, they are incompatible.
As to the latter case, it is the great law of
nature—irrevocable and fixed. Momen
tous issues, no doubt., will spring up front
this, but we trust that all will result in
keeping the races intact. , —/farrisbury Pa

Marine Losses for May.
The report of the losses at sea during
the month of May shows an aggregate of
40 vessels, of which four were steamers, 9
ships, 8 barks, 10 brigs, 13 schooners. and
1 smack. Of this number 13 are missing,
4 were burned, 3 were abandoned at sea,
2 foundered, 1 sunk after collision, 19
were lost by going ashore. The total
value of the property lost and missing is
$1,591,800. Thaii is the value of the pro
perty totally lost, exclusive of damage to
vessels not amounting to a total loss.
Chinese Immigration
Some of the California papers are be
coming alarmed by the renewal of a heavy
immigration from China, since the com
mencement of the present war. Statistics
are given, showing that from the first dis• covery of gold to the present time 84,578
Chinese' have arrived in the State, and
only 27,558 have departed. This is an in
crease of arrivals over departures of 57,-
020, and as something like a dozen ves
sels *ere on the berth in China parts, at
last accounts, there will soon be still larger
acquisitiOns of this class of population.
An Outrage.
An Ohio soldier, put to guard the house
of n pretty widow, with contrabands, near
Huntsville, Alabama, was recently taken
captive—by the widow. The enormity of
the offense is increased by the fact that a
clergyman aided in effecting the complete
capture. She states that he commenced
cultivating social relations by removing
the weeds.
Number of Slaves in Delaware.
The Blue Hen's Chicken says that the
number of slaves in Delaware, it is believ
ed, is much less than returned by the cen
sus. The Marshal's deputies have in many
cases counted bound boys, free at 21, as
slaves. The number of slaves, according
to the census in St. George's Hundred, was
160. But the assessor cannot find more
than 102, valued at 83,702. It is more
than probable similar mistakes have been
made all through the State. If so, the
number of slaves, instead of being 1,800,
would be a little over 1,100.
A NEW Yourt correspondent with Mc-
Clellan's army paid a contrabaid five dol
lars fin- a copy of tho Richmond Enquirer
of the previous day. He sent it by a mes
senger to the lauding, for New York.
Headquarters found it out, wanted it, sent
a squad of cavalry after it, put the corres
pondent in guard-house, and gobbled up
the paper. Corremondents are having a
hard time of it. Two of them slept in a
meadow one night, with a board over
them, thus dodging the sergeant's cavalry
guard that was ramming the camps to find
them.
A Swarm of Biwa on a Man'a
Head. f-
A. most singular incident "occurred in
Bridgewater, Mass., a few days since, il
lustrating the peculiar habits of bees. Mr.
A. P. Benson, noticing an unusual stir
among his hives, proceeded to examine
into the cause, whereupon an entire swarth
withdrew from their old hive, and settled

FROM RICHMOND.
Still Doubtfill.,of the Seibty of
From the Richm4d Dispatch, May 19.
It may be that the barrier;e. the riv
.
er obstructions] will be passed. If so we
shall have the hated foe hel'e in a brief
time. The question arises, should only a
few gunboats present themselves, not back
ed by an army that has fought through our
own forces, will the city be surrendered to
them? We feel assured that th 6 people
will respond with unanimity, "No." The
sentiment, as far as we have heard it, is
most decided. We believe the government
and the people are united on this point.—
Though there have been gross derelictions
with reference to the river defenses, the
public are not willing to incur the disgrace
of submitting to two or three Federal gun
boats. They will resist until a demand can
be backed by such force and circumstan
ces as at least to make a surrender an act
not to crimson the cheek with shame.—
Under any view of such a fate as the occu
pation of thifi city of untarnished fame and
generous renown, by the federal invaders,
it will he a painful, a mortifying occur
rence; but whenever that event does occur,
let us at least hope that it will carry with
it no dishonor to the community.
The unanimity with which the act of se
cession was sustained at the polls by our people was one of the most remarkable
displays of popular sentiment over made.
Taking that as an exponent of the true
feelings of the community with reference
to the tyranny of the Northern government,
we may safely predict that there will be no
concessions here, should its army, in the
vicissitudes of the present struggle, get
possession of our city. It will have the
power of conquerers, and can enforce de
mands; but of concessions there will be
none.
Fire Rafts for the Defense of
Richmond.
From the Richmond Dispatch, May 21.
The proximity of the enemy suggests the
inquiry if additional means may not be
prudently prepared for our river defenses?
The water is evidently our most vulnerable
point; secure there. and we feel safe. The
obstruct ions placed in the river are formi
dable, if not impassable by the Yankee
fleet. Yet nothing human is perfect; ac
cidents may happen ; a freshet may injure
the obstructions, or an overwhelming force
may possibly remove them. What then ?
Must Richmond fall ? Might we not have
other formidable means in reserve? How
would fire rafts answer as an additional
security? Let them be constructed at the
proper points, of the right material and of
sufficient strength, and then tied together
so as to sweep the channel. Filled with
combustibles, they would prove too formi
dable for the Yankee gunboats, even when
clad in steel; for wepresume that our ene
mies are as vulnerable to fire and smoke
as other men.
Negroes Building Fortifications
Around Richmond.
From tho Richmond Dispatch, May 21.
CommENDABLE.—We learn that owners
of servants have shown the most com
mendable degree of alacrity in offering
their services for work on the batteries,
,tc., around the city. This is as it should
be, and as displaying in a prominent way
the Latent patriotism of our people, de
serves commendation and applause. The
enemy is around and about us, and it be
hooves all to put their shoulders to the
wheel to thwart the machinations of an
unscrupulous foe.
More Writing on the Walls.
From thh Richmond Whig, May 20.
Yesterday's daylight brought to view a
number of chalk inscriptions upon the
walls and fences in different parts of the
city. The Latin quotation, •'
was repeated in nearly evry instance.
The only provoking circumstance about
these inscriptions is, that the persons en
gaged in the dirty work can perform it
with such impunity. The night watch.
the military guard; and detective police
owe it to themselves to discover and arrest
the offenders.

We glean the following interesting items
from the New Orleans tiles:
Economy In Dregs.
The Picayune says that "a wise and un
profitable economy may now be practiced
in the article of dress, and the tewney sav
ed in a becoming abstinence from profuse
expenditure iu the gratification of this
taste will enable us the better to meet the
stern and pressing exigencies of the times.
It is not the greatest hardship in the world
to be obliged to wear a suit of clothes the
second season, though it may show some
signs of shab biness. It is better to be
shabby in one's attire titan in one's mind
and conduct' and we imagine an old coat
would sit more comfortably to the hack if
the wearer had it in his power to reflect
that by denying himself the luxury of a
new one he had enabled himself to clothe
one naked beggar, or to give a meal to one
starving tinnily:"
A Family Difficulty.
• This queer notice appears in the adver
tising columns of the True Delta :
"I take this method of informing the
public that the notice published in the Del
ta of the 6th instant, concerning my hus
band, is erroneous so far as it relates to
him. He was not at home at the time.—
When the report came that the enemy were
coming up to the city and would carry on
all kinds of depredations, in the excitement
of the time, several ladies came rushing
in, telling me they would notlike to remain
in the house with such a remarkable sign,
at the presenttime. In a moment of fright,
(it is well known that the whole city was
frightened,) I being alone at home with •
six children, I sent the colored man to put
it out with lamblack. And when Mr. Fair
ex came home and saw what I had done,
he sent for a painter to put it up again,
who neglected to do so.
"MATILDA. D. FAIREX."
The "Ladies" Fooled.
Two splendidly uniformed officers were
enjoying a ride in our streetcars, and were
greatly astonished to find that, although
they were frequently stopped by ladies, yet
not one had got in. This occurring so
often, they at last inquired of the driver:
" Sir, what is the meaning of this ; why is
it that the ladies never . get in the cars?"
" Sirs," replied the driver, "you are fed
exal officers, and they don't exactly like
your company." Each officer stared at
the other—mute and grave astonishment ,•
at last their riaibilities could be contained
no longer, and they burst into a wild laugh.
Their merriment in part subsiding, one of
them spoke ;—" We are not federal, but
French officers ; are entirely too gallant
to deprive the ladies of their ride, and will
therefore retire." And, suiting the ac
tion to the word, they left the cars
and proceeded on their 'way on foot,
meditating on the " course of human
events, "
PIERRB d'Orleans, son of the Prince
de Joinville, arrived in New York on Tues

"Accompanied by his class-mates, to the
number of twenty, he went on board the

June P. m.—The
flood in the river commenced to recede
slnolly after neon and this time no further
damage is apprehended. It is impossible
to arrive at anything like an accurate ac
count of the damage done by the flood,
but it will amount to $10,0450.1 - 00. The
canals are still overtlooded and the amount
of injury they have sustained can only be
surmised. 'the canal has probably not
been very greatly damaged. and as yet.we
have not learned of any injury to the dams
on the Lehigh. The Lehigh Coal and
\r.vi scion Company•s works were prob
ably much less injured than by the freshet
of I`;II, though it may require several
months to pl:u•e them in a navigable con
dition. No trains have run on the Lehigh
Valley R. R. :mil it is feared the wire bridge
at Mauch Chunk has been swept away.
Should this prove to be the case the iron
furnaces in the valley of the Lehigh will
be stopped. as they will not be able to get
a supply lA . coal.
There is no doubt that many lives have
been lost. Boats with their crews were
swept from their moorings and dashed to
pieces. Many tenements with their occu
pants were carried away before assistance
could be rendered. I t is reported that one
house containirig a fitmily of seven persons
was carried away and broken to pieces
against one of the bitidges on the- river
above here.
The Delaware bridge sustained but little
injury. The railroad is unscathed. The
town of Cre.ndon, situated a mile above
Easton, inhabited by the employees of the
furnace of the same name was, wholly in
undated, the tenements, offices, furnaces,
were entirely surrounded by water
which reached nearly to the second stories
of the houses.
The interuption to canal navigation, the
consequent stoppage of the coal operations,
together with the interuption to the iron
manufacturers, will form no considerable
item of the incidental damages to bC inclu
ded in the estimate.

WCI.ELIAN'S HEADQUARTERS, Jane 5.
The following . address was read to the
army this evening at dress parade and was
received with an outburst of vociferous
cheering from every regiment:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAV,
Camp Near New Bridge, .tune 2.
Soldiers of the Army of the Potomac-1
have fulfilled at least apart of my promise
to you—you are now face to face with the
rebels who are held at bay in front of the
Capital. The final and decisive battle is at
hand, unles you belie your past history the
result cannot be for a moment doubtful. If
the troops who labored so tkithfully and
fought so gallantly at Yorktown, and who
so bravely won the hard tights at Wil
liamsburg, West Point; Hanover Court
House, and Fair Oak, now prove worthy
of their antecedents, the victory is sure
ly ours. The events of every day prove
your superiority. Wherever you have met
the enemy, you have beaten him. Wher
ever you have used the bayonet, lie has
given way in panic'and disorder. 1 ask of
you now one last crowning effort. :l'he
enemy has staked his all on the is ire of
the coming battle. Let us meet him, and
crush him, here in the very centre of the
rebellion.
Soldiers, I will be with you in this
battle, and share its dangers with you.
Our confidence in each other is .now
fonnded upon the past. Let us strike the
blow which is to restore peace and union
to this distracted land. Upon your valor,
discipline and confidence the result de
pends. (Signed,)

CAIRO, May s.—Memphis papers of the
2d inst. contain dispatches from Richmond
of the Ist, of which the following is the
substance:
General Hill's division commenced the
fight on Saturday morning, Rhodes', Gar- .
land's, Rains' and Anderson's brigades
bearing the brunt of the battle.
Until the arrival of their reinforcements
the Federals were driven from their re
doubts and their batteries turned on them.
General Lee and President Davis were
on the field. Their presence increased
the enthusiasm of our troops.
The Yankees stubbornly contested every
inch of ground, but were forced to give
way to the impetuous charges of our sol
diers.
Large numbers of Confederate soldiers
are wounded in the arms and legs. Gen
eral Rhodes was slightly wounded.
The enemy tried to make a flank move
ment about seven o'clock in the evening,
but was repulsed. On Sunday the battle.
was renewed, chiefly with musketry. Pris
oners were constantly
is coming in. Gen.
Hutton, of Tennessee, is killed. The car
nage on both sides dreadful, the Yan
kees losing two to our one. About live
hundred prisoners have already been taken.
The last dispatch sent on the first, says.the
latest intelligence from the battle-field
represent the enemy to have been driven
back a mile and a half from his position,
and our forces occupy his camps. •We
captured three batteries after a most des
perate light, as the enemy were protected
by woods and entrenchments.
Vicksburg papers of the 31st, say eleven
Federal gunboats have gone down the
river. They say the fleet are no nearer
possession of the city now than they were
two weeks ago, and that insurmountable
obstacles encountered below Vicksburg
have caused disaffection among the Yan
kee troops compelling the commanders to
fall back to re-organize their forces.
Thlrty-Seventh Congress.
Wzsuiscros, June tith.—Horsz.—Mr.
Washburrte, of Ills., from the Committee
on Commerce, reported a bill, which was
passed, to change the port of entry from
Darien to Brunswick, Ga. ,
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union.
The special order being the bill to pro
vide for the appointment of a board of
fortification, and to provide for the sea
coast and other defenses,
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., moved to strike out
the enacting clause of the bill. Agreed to.
This was reported to the House, which
agreed to the recommendation of the com
mittee. So the bill was rejected.
. The. House then again went. into Com
mittee of the Whole on the State of the
Union, and took up the bill in relation to
the enlisting of minors.
Mr. McPherson, of Pa., made a lengthy
speech replying to the gentleman from In-
Indiana (Voorhees) and the gentlema
f rom Ohio, (Valhaddigham) in their assault'
upon the Ailndnistration, which be claimed
was justly entitled to the unreserved and
generous confidence of the people, and of
every man of the people who is devoted
to the preservation and perpetuation of the
Union as the greatest good, without which
all other interests, rights, and possessions
are comparatively valueless. He exam
ined the charges made, showed that the
debt is but $491,446,984 11, instead- of
$1,000,000,000, as charged; that the daily
expenditures were a shade over $1,000,000,
instead Of $2,006,000 as charged, and that
the debt a year hence, should the war be
continued on, the present basis, will .be
scarcely $1,000,000,000, instead of $2,.
000,000,000, ma charged. He defended the
Secretru7 of the Treasury from the charge
of financial mismanagement, who had up.
held the public credit and protected its
securities, and he eulogized the patient
care, Clear intelligence and anxious .fideli-
ty of this wise and pure. man of the West.
