THE UNION AS IT WAS.
That the abolition fraternity are becom
ing alarmed, lest the rebels should be ut
terly demolished before they have con
summated their designs upon the Union, is
g r owingmoremanifest with every day's de•
velopments. Should the rebellion hold
out another year it Would be a charming
thing for the agitators, but would not be
quite so pleasant for the people. The New
York Tribune, the head - of the extreme
faction of which the Pittsburgh Gazette is
the tail, anticipating a speedy suppression
of the rebels, boldly advances its opposi
tion to the restoration of the Union as it
was. By this we do not mean the restora
tion of leading rebels like Davis to power,
• but the establishment of the Constitution
and the equality of States under it. This
the Tribune does not want and it openly
proclaims it. That paper,indeed, approach
es the subject with some caution; it says it
is for "the Union as it was, if it can not
be improved, Ina we greatly prefer the
Union as it ought to be." The improve
ment which the Tribunedesiros, in order to
render the Union acceptable, is, of course
the freedom of the slaves: this is its
for all the ills that our system of go
ment ish2ir to. In Order to ILC . C(1111
this, Mr. Sumner's idea of reducin t
Southern States to the condition of
quered, provinces must be adopted.
State rights must be discarded and
open act of usurpation adopted. I.
men as well as rebel, must
subject to the same arbitrary pow,
order that a screening policy of emanci
pation may at one fell swoop become
immediatelyeffective. 'l' outlaw, alienate
and oppress the entire population of the
fifteen Slave States. in order to elevate the
slave population Iheront, is the remedy
proposed by .Abolitionism for a re-union
of our. Confederacy. The reduction to
slavery, or to grinding inferiority. trill
millions of our own race. in order to 4-n
-franchise four millions of an inferior one,
is the . feast to which the people of the
free States are invited. Rut Greeley and
his crew can never induce Americans to
partake of any such revolting ban q uet.
- All the noise and confusion they ran create
aboutrebeh 3 and rebel symputhi.:ers will not
enable hire to crowd through this part of
his programm e . A enure few months, of
perhaps week:, tt 11,,• abil
ity of our armies . to utterly crush tin,
rebels : the upbeat jug of Union sentiment
which will immediately follow will satisfy
the whole country that we have a
Union ; then, the rater prostration of the
leading conspirators will further show th:
the Union is about to undergo a sy.stent
purification, and that the antidote of A 1,,
litionism is entirely 14 on
preservation. The titbit; then wil
be the dismissal of our Abolition quack:.
and if any one of them ever after attempt
to introduce his lions compounds
net
will treat. hint as a rebel to the newly in
vigoruted Union, and insist upon his beim!:
transported to either Hayti or Liberia.
After the leading rebels are dead or ban
ished, all we will need to restore harmony
and good feeling throughout the land, will
be the removal of Wendell Phillips and
his immediate associates. Sumner and
Greeley and Lovejoy inusty 'persist
intheir treason, be S-* Fort Warren, or
some other - quai6 , respectable retreat for
leading - criminals, while the lesser lights
oribolitionism, like the Gazette, will re
ceive a Significant admonition from the
United States Marshal to quit. Rebellion
thus being scattered in the South, and the
scorpion of Abolition muzzled in the
North, we may look for tt career of glory
unparalleled in our Nation's history----and
all in spite of the Tribune and its :nixie
for a Union, not as it is, but •• as it oug:
to be'-
:lerThe readers of the Pittsburgh Ga
zette certainly must be a most amiable and
indulgent portion of our population. The
practical jokes which it daily inflicts upon
them are so numerous and glaring that
we are absolutely amazed at their good na
ture and forbearance. There is no gentle
man in the community fonder of genuine
humor than we are, and we acknowledge an
indebtedness to our jolly cotemporary for
many a hearty laugh ; but we must protest
against our neighbor Itrowing 118 into hy
sterics. Yesterday's temperature wa:; cer
tainly Provhlen lial in :t special degree :
had it been seasonable a nd warm, we would
not have survived the mirth occasioned by
our neighbor's latest inflictions.
— On Monday last the Ouzel!,-, in reply to
our statement that the course of the aboli
tionists was calculated to crush out all
Union feeling in the South, said:
"We should like to know where there
is any unconditional ffnion feeling in the
South, except among the contrabands.
There are exceptional individual cases,
but we doubt whether, except in Eastern
Tennessee. there is much Union feeling to
he found."
No Union feelin g in the South, mini
you, out of Eastern Tennessee, excep
among the contrabands." That was m
Monday last; yesterday- the Gazelte, hil
ud
ing to our progress down the Mississippi,
gave us the following:
"We should not be surprised if the Oer
mans and non-slaveholding population in
Western Texas should institute a Union
government beforoour troops go there."
So, even in the single State of Texas
there has been some Union feeling discov
ered. besides that of Eastern Tennessee
and among the contrabands.
Our readers are aware that for the past
six months the Gazette has been scream
ing for an .remeneipation: it has con
stantly insisted that clothing but such' an
act would prostrate the rause of the rebel
lion, which it insists is. slavery. Well,
yesterday, in alluding to the Missouri Con
vention's voting down a proposition to
emancipate the slaves, our neighbor gave
us the following:
"If the slaveholders there are willing to
accept now the offer made by the govern
ment, of compensation for their man-chat
tels, they may get it. Bnt if they choose
to reject the offer, it will be their own loss.
They cannot turn bad: the tide of freedom.
Missouri will be a free State before len
years."
The reader will perceive by these ex
tracts from the Gazette that that paper is
playing upon the creditlity of its readers ;
and absolutely laughing in its sleeve at the
incredible stories it has been inflicting up
on them. It. should now cease its experi
ments upon a much abused people, at
least until the warm weather is over.

spectable Ibrce, on whose appearance they
would Ily like frightened sheep. Yester
day, with characteristic caution, they sent
up Professor Lowe in his ffimous balloon,
to observe the motion of the rebels. The
machine, which was distinctly observed by
a large number of spectators in this city,
was embellished with two I Tnited States
flags, ascended about four miles from the
city, in a Northeast direction. No doubt
the observations of the Yankee a•ronant
were satisfactory, as by three o'clock a
light was reported in progress between the
abolition and Southern forces at the head
of the Mechanicsville turnpike.
Crops in Great Britain.
le crop prospects of Great Britian tin
not appear to be so bright as some have
supposed, after all. In an article on the
growing crops there the London Erotio
iiiist of the I ;th of May says :
Notwithstanding a constantly continuing
decline in the corn market for the last few
weeks indicates the favorable opinion en
tertained by the trade of the prespeck of
the wheal, crop. the farmer, who note from
day to day the progress of his growing
wheat, is not altogether without apprehen
sion. On thestrong and fertile soils, where
the land is - high; the wheat plant has be
come too luxuriant under the influence of
the excess of moist., which has again
occurred, while out strong land imperfectly
drained the plant huts a yellow hue.

Mosquitoes.
The soldiers on the Mississippi flotilla
suffer front the mosquitoes. A corres
pondent writes :
No one who is not down here can form
any idea of the pain they inflict. Their
sting is like that of a bee, and they raise
lumps on our bodies as large as small hick
ory nuts. Never before were they so bad.
Men accustomed to the Mississippi river
are surprised and agonized at the present,
ferocity of the insects, and though they
have never before been troubled by them,
they are now driven to profanity and frenzy
by their diurnal and nocturnal sulferitr.,s,
and go roaring about like bulls of Basha'n.

Wen)ELI. PHILLIPS thus expresses his
sentiments on the President's revocation
of Gen. Hunter's emancipation order:
The President,. with servile, lick-spittle
haste runs before he is hidden to revoke
the Hunter proclamation.
If Hunter had issued a:pro-slavery procla-
mation, be sure the government would
have waited for red tape. It shows the
old pro-slavery leaning of the govenment.

THE President has approved the home.
stead bill. It is therefore a law.

At a part of your operations it was my
fortune to be present. On no other occa

advancing into the very jaws of death, and
nothing could exceed the prowess With

In the renewed struggle in which you
are on the eve of engaging, I ask and can

You are fighting for all that is dearest to

your valor.

From nhu Richmond Examiner, June:,
The heavy rains of Tuesday night, and
which continued throughout the greater
part of yesterday, gave the quietus to any
contemplated military movements by ei
ther army on the lines in front of Ilia
mond. There was no firing along the lines
except the discharging of guns that had
become wet during the storm, rendering it
necessary to empty the charges.
There were rumors of the capture of
numerous prisoners, but the rumors were
without that very necessary ingredient,
reliability. There were several easuali
tiesyesterday from picket firing. nues

the Filleenili Virginia regiment, was shot

From the Petersbur g : ixT , ress, Jane 5.
Are understand that. our army about

4'llo attack, it is thought, was only deferred
because of the heavy rains which fell
during the morning of yesterday. The
Yankees were busy intrenching themselves
all or Tuesday. This was witnessed by
our stouts from the tops of tall trees. The
floods in all probability filled their trenches
yesterday and rendered them untenable,
but the Yankees, with their characteristic
energy, will lade out the water as
fast us it Wis. We hear, too, that the
enemy dealt largely in balloons yesterday
and the day precious, having up as many
as three at one time during portions of
the day. A battle at any moment need
not surprise our readers. We are pleased
to hear that our Generals are fully pre
pared for the attack, let it come at any
moment the enemy may please to make it

acknowledgment of the services of Major
Anderson and his officers and men at Fort
Sumter, and providing gold and silver
medals.
The House passed the bill appropriatim
$150.000 for services under the recentl3
passed post route bill.
The House resumed the consideration
of the Senate amendments to the bill regu
lating the pay of certain army officers.
Mr.' Bingham, of Ohio, rose to a ques
tion of privilege and submitted the follow
ing resolution, which was read at Clerk's
table :
R'u
Eatus, Information has been receiv ,
eil by the Government that
Wood, a representative in Congress, from
the State of New York, and a member of
this House, has been engaged in Com
municating or attempting to cominunicate
important intelligence to the Confederate
rebels in arms against the government of
the rnited States. Be it, therefore,
Reto/red, That the Committee on Ju
diciary be instructed to inquire into the
alleged conduct of said Benjamin Wood,
in the premises, and to that end, the said
Committee be authorized to send for per
sons and papers amid to examine witnesses
under oath, and report to the Idolise.
A discussion ensued, after- which, Mr.
Wood. of New York, hoped the resolution
would be adopted, and an opportunity
given him to be heard.
The resolution was adopted.
,I .ere. — Mr. Latham. of Cal., offered
a. resolution that , Messrs. Cannon and
Ilooper, claiming to be Senator's from the
State of Deseret, be admitted to the door
of the Senate. Laid over.
Mr. Dixon, of Conn., offered a resolu
tion that all acts or ordinances of seces
sion, alleged to have been adopted by any
legislature or convention of the people of
any State, are as to the Union, absolutely
null and void, but while such acts may anal
do subject the undivided actors therein to
tbrl;•itures and penalties, they do not in
any degree atn.,ct the relatious of the State
wherein they purport to have been adopt
cd to the govermneut of the United States.
hut are as. to such government, acts of re
bellion. insurrection and hostility on the,.
part of individuals engaged therein, and
giving assent. thereto, and that such States.
not withstanding such acts or ordinances
are still members of the Federal Irniou,
and as such are subject to all the obliga
tions and duties imposed on them by the
C.institution of the l'nited States, and the
loyal citizens of such States are entitled to
all the privileges thereby guaranteed and
conferred. Laid over.
Mr. Powell, of Ky., introduced a bill to
provide the means and mode of taking evi
dunce in support of certain cases against !
the government. Referred to the Commit- 1 1
tee on .the Judiciary.
Mr. Crimes, of lowa, introdu6eil a bill
for the better goVernment of the Navy of
the United States. Referred.
Mr. Wade, of Ohio, presented certain
papers and documents in support of the
claim of Deseret for admission as a State.
The bill in relation to the appointments
of Lieutenants to the Marine Corps was
taken up, and after a discussion passed.
Mr. Barris, of New York, from the Ju
diciary Committee, reported back the bill
o establish Provisional Governments in
certain cases with a recommendation that
it do pass.
At one o'clock the bill amending the
fugitive slave law wastaken up as unfinish
ed business.
The amendments were ordered to be
mimed, and the bill postponed till to-mor•
The bill providing additional medical
officers for the volunteer service was ta
ken up. It provides for forty surgeons
and one hundred and twenty asssistant
surgeons.
A debate occurred in which Mr. Foster,
Coml., said there had been great mistnan
agement in the appointment of surgeons.
Many of the surgeons were utterly unfit
for their duties. At the battle ot Winches
ter many wounded lay for eight or 9 days
without having their wounds dressed and
were buried in the clothes they were
wounded in. If the Committee on the Con
duct of the War examine this case they
will find that not all the cruelties are prac
ticed by the rebels. There were men who
had their legs amputated, and while they
laid on the floor in agony were told to get
up and go out by the surgeons, and
when the poor men said they couldd not go
because they had no legs, they had
been kicked by the surgeons, or when con
nected with what is called the Medical De
partment of the army. Such facts occur
red after the battle of 'Winchester.
There were at least 15,000 men in the
hospital now who ought to be discharged,
there were men sent to the hospitals so
carelessly that not even their names were
sent with them, and such men have died
and been buried as unknown, leaving years
of suspense to their families. The bill was
then passed.
Mr. Howe, of Wis., called up a bill from
the House for the relief of General U. S.
Grant The bill provides an allowance for
a check of $l,OOO lost in 1848. Mr. Hale
objected to the bill,
On motion of Mr. ressenden, of Maine,
the Senate went into executive session.
The Senate to-day confirmed the follow
ing Presidential appointments: Christo
pher P. Walcott, of Ohio, Assistant Sec
retary of War, in place of Thos. A. Scott,
resigned; Joseph T, Lisle and George A.
flop, of Pennsylvania, and 11. Melville
Hanna, of Ohio, Assistant Paymasters in
the'Navy; Edward D. Payne, of Pennsyl
vania; Assistant Surgeon in Navy.
