As it ought to be. We copy the following

Greeley and his school of shameless trai
tors direct the public sentiment of the
country; and even if a. restoration were
consummated to-morrow, how long would
it last if such agitators were allowed to
pursue their accursed vocation? Military
power and coercion might, indeed, enforce
obedience in the South ; if left to them
selves, however, the people there would
again. rush into rebellion, at the earliest
opportunity, for the reason that as long as
tete paper as the Tribune control public
sentiment at the North, Southern men I
would. feel no sort of security in the
Union. •As the New York World truly
states, and as every man in the country
who has a memory knows, the Tribune
has, for the last ten years. been the per
sistent foe to the Union. While Mr. Clay
acid Mr. Webster were alive, their teach
blgs .kept such as Greeley in obscurity;
upon their death, however, the impri:;oned
minds of fanaticism were let loDse, until
the country was rocking in the throes of
dissolution. This fanaticism produced io
counterpart in the South, the consequence
of which is a natim of once contented free
men cutting each other's throats, in a quar
rel produced by a few discunteuted
(nails. Had Providence spared the lives
of the two eminent men alluded to thin
rebellion never would have been begun.
Upon their death, a thousand petty dem
agogues sprung up as leaders, each strug
gling to surpass the rest in his denuncia
tioni of the Union. Southern demagogues
took advantage of this state of affairs at
the North, and in less than five yeer,!
they succeeded in preparing their people

and Mississippi voted by majorities to

less a personage than the present rebel
President, Jeff. Davis, ices beaten, in a
contest upon the Union issue, for Gover
nor of his State. These majorities have
been ewept away by the violence of the
leading : conspirators; and, if anything
further were wanted to entirslynnite the
Southern people,- it itiurnished by
the Northern ?tutors of the Tribune
school What cueouragement do Southern
U . ethnid in the extreme Abolition
publications or the malty extreme measures
proposed by the fanatics in Congress? It
is not now the simple question of the
"aggressions of slavery," and resistance
to slavery's extension. These people have
advanced, until the cry is now nut only
universal emancipation, - but universal
equality — afterwards. This equality, of
course, means all that the term imports—
the rights of citizenship in its most en
larged sense.
But many sanguine citizens tell us that the
opinions of Greeley and his class are enter
tained but by few, and can not do moth
damage. Such good natured, easy people
are mistaken. These radical opinions are
controlling the newspaper literature of the
North--Greeley himself talking through
his journal to at least half a million of
readers every week—they have control of
the majorities of both Rouses of Congress,
_which majorities are in concert with the
Trilmns, apparently, to prevent a re-union
of the States. True,we have in both branch
es of Congress aglorious little band of pat

dashing back the waves of fanaticism, but
they are very few. Mark the malignity,
however, which pursues these' few. Ob

malignity of Sumner, even towards the
President.- The first calls Senator Cowan
"the watch dog of slavery," because he
observes his - oath to sustain the constitution;
the second attempts to censure the Presi
dent because he im,ect to appoint an Aboli

distutionists, are sustained by a very large I
portion of the itepublican press of the

MR. BUMNER,
This pet ot' tle• Gazette ais just now se
c :ring attention from some of oar Repub
te. a cotemporaries. The N. Y. Times
It is . little singular to find Mr. Sumner
so fastidious in regard to the Constitution in
this particularinstance,while he has shown
himself so liberal and lax in every other.
He did not remonstrate against the suspen
sion of habeas corpus by the Execu LT., nor
has he hitherto denounced any of the acts
of the Administration in suppressing the re
bellion as unconstitutional, although many
of them have lacked warrant in the terms of
the Constitution much more clearly than
this. Indeed, Mr. Sumner has openly as
serted the right and power of the President
to emancipate the slaves in every Southern
State, in spite of the fact that such right
finds no warrant, whatever, in the Consii
t ion or laws of the land.
Air. Sumner's sudden scruples. however,
arc susceptible of easy explanation.—
They are solved, like everything , else
which Mr. Sumner says or does, by their
bearings on the negro question. Any act
of the President. which favors or seems to
favor abolition, lir. S. readily suffers to
pass unchallenged. But any act which
looks the other way is subjected to the
sharpest. scrutiny.
•
The Ohio State Journal remarks:
Mr. Sumner stands not much upon con
stitutional questions when pursuing his pe
culiar crotchets; yet he is the first and the
most furious to denounce the acts of oth
ers as unconstitutional when they trench
upon his specialties. He is everywhere
known .rua a most latitudinarian expounder
of the Constitution on subjects within his
particular " range ;" and why he should
now manifest uppugnance to the Presi
dent's which has worked so well
where well administered, as in Tennessee,
we cannot comprehend upon any other hy
pothesis than that it is one of his eroteX
les. —the impulsive movement of a most
impulsive mind.
DESPERATE FIGHTING
Great Slaughter.
The New York Commercial publishes
the following extract of a private letter
from an artilleryman who participated in
the late fight before Richmond. The de
scription of the rebels' steady advance in
the face of such destructive tiring reminds
us of the "old guard" under Marshal Ney,
at Waterloo:
BOTTOM'S BRIDGE, June 1.
About 11 o'clock (ou Saturday, May 31,)
the enemy sent a couple of 6-pound balls
over into our camp, and immediately com
menced the attack by driving in our pick
ets. Our division was quickly formed in
hue of battle: a strong force was sent to
support the pickets, and a rifled battery
of four guns was ordered up to the right
and opened fire. We were all ready for
anything that might come, but not for a
moment did we deem that we bad ou our
hands one of the most fiercely fought bat
tles that has taken place during the rebel
lion. The pickets soon began to fire rap
idly and came running in : while the in
tantry, posted behind a fence to support
them, blazed away into the woods. • fhe
artillery on our right opened fire and min
gted their thunder with the sharp roll of
the musketry. Soon our Napoleon guns
(three of which were posted in an unfiuish
ed redoubt. and three on the left, near a
ride pit) opened with case shot, which went
whizzing through the air, over the heads
of our own men, light into the midst of
the, cumay, and there exploding scattered
death through their ranks. On the left.
the rebels were seen coming through the
woods to flank us, and, wheeling three of
our guns so as to bear upon them, see
poured ease shot among them with niter
am pled rapidity and terrible effect.
The destruction was horrible. Ourspher
kat case shot are awful missiles, each of
them consisting of a clotted mass of seven
' ty-six musket ball:E. with a charge of pow
der in the centre, that is fired by a fuse the
same as a shell. The snsisiM first nets as
a solid shot, ploughing its way through
masses of men, unit their exploding, hurls
forward n shower of musket halls that mow
Id o vu the foe in heaps. Our battery threw
t wenty•toue of these a minute, and as we
had the exact range of every part of the
field, every shot told with frightful effect.
But the enemy were not at all daunted.
They marched steadily on, and hailed a
perfect tempest of halls upon us. Why
we, as well as our horses, were not every
one shot down, will, forever remain a mys
tery to me. We did not mind the leaden
hail, however, but kept pouring our case
shot into the dense masses of the foe, who
came on in prodigious and overwhelming
force; amid they fought splendidly, too.
Our shot tore their ranks wide open, and
shattered them asunder in a manner that
was frightful to witness; but they closed
again at once, and came on as steadily as
English veterans.
When they got within four hundred yards
we closed our case-shot and opened on
them with canister, and,Such destruction
I never elsewhere witnessed. At each
discharge great gaps were made in their
ranks—indeed, whole companies went
down before that murderous fire; but they
closed up with an order and discipline that
was awe-inspiring. They seemed to be
animated with the courage of despair,
blended with the hope of a speedy victory,
if they could by an overwhelming rush
drive us front our position.
• It was awful to see their ranks torn and
shattered by every discharge of canister
that we poured right into their faces, and
while their dead and dying lay in piles,
they closed up, and still kept advancing,
right in the face of that fire. At one time
three lines, one behind another, were
steadily advancing, and three of their flags
were brought in range of our guns, shotted
with canister.
' "Fire!" shouted the gunner, - and down
went those three flags, and a gap was
opened through those three lines as if a
thunderbolt had torn through them, and
the dead lay in swaths. But they at once
closed up and came steadily on, never wa
vering or halting, right through the woods,
over the fence, through the held, right up
to our guns, and, sweeping everything be-
fore them, captured every piece.
When we delivered our last fire,they were
within fifteen or twenty paces of us,and as
all our horses had been killed or wounded,
we could not carry off a gun. Our whole di-
vision was cut to pieces, with what loss I
do not know. 11'e fell back to a second
line of entrenchments, and there held the
enemy in check until reinforcements ar
rived, and then we kept our position till
night put nu end to the battle. This
morning the tight was renewed, and we
have driven the enemy back, and regained
possession of our camp.

were reinforced rapidly.
The lighting was most desperate, the
enemy being protected by their entrench
ments and the woods.
Several hundred prisoners are reported
to have been captured.
RICHMOND, May 31-6 p. m.—There was
a violent rain and thunder storm here last
evening, continuing several hours. About

Goneral Hill's division went into the
fight on Saturday afternoon at oneo'clock.
The engagement continued until after
dark.. It was a long and bloody one, we
driving the enemy through the woods and
swamps, and taking possession of their for
tifications and encampments. R. H. An
derson's and Kemper's Brigades (of Long
street's division) reinforced General Hill
late in the day, and contributed much to
our success.
On Sunday morning early the battle was
renewed—Rains, (of General Hill's divis
ion) Piakett and Wilcox bearing the brunt.
Huger's two Brigades, Armistead's and
Mahone's, were in the battle on Saturday
for a short time.

that point, although inferior in numbers,

The Fight at Facet&ligo
The enemy lauded front their gunboats
yesterday morning, one thousand to fifteen
hundred, strong, and suddenly advanced
towards the line of the Savannah and
Charleston Railroad. They had advanced
as far as Old Pocotalign, about a mile and
a half from the road, when they were met
by the Rutledge Mounted Riflemen. num
bering pu men, when a sharp skirmish en
sued. The riflemen, being the only troops.
held the Yankees at hay for some time,
fighting them at short range across the
old road. Just before reinforcements ar
rived the enemy made a precipitate re
treat in the direction of their gunboats,
pursued by Col. Walker, with a body of
cavalry, who clime upon the grotunt just
as the enemy retired.
The Rutledge Mounted Riflemen, who,
our informant says, hid all the first of the
fight on our side to themselves, lost one
man killed and three wounded, with one
or two taken prisoners by the Yankees,
who are reported to have three men killed.
Col. Walker, of. the cavalry, had his horse
shot under him.
The appelirance of the enemy at that
point wait sudden and unexpected, and
their retreat so precipitate that our troops
did-not have a chance to punish ther te
merity. This movement was no doubt a
feint to draw our forces from Charleston :
for if they seriously intended to get posses
sion of the road, their effort was a very
feeble one. The conduct of the Rutledge
Rifle Corps is spoken of in high terms of
praise.
From the Cherleston Mercury,
. A private dispatch from Captain W. L.
Trenhoim, of the Rutledge Mounted Rifle
men, dated last evening, says that the fight
was then over. Dr. P. C. Goddard, a pri

WASHINGTON ITEMS
WASHINGTON CITY, June 12.—House :
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., reported back the tax
bill from the Committee on Ways and
Means. The Senate had made 314 amend
ments,a large number of them being of an
unimportant character. In order to facili
tate definite action,lie recommended a
general non-concurrence in all the amend
ments, and then ask for the appointment
of a Committee of Conference.
Mr. Colfax, of Ind., said he regarded a
Committee of Conference as a necessary
evil, but at the same time they ought to
reduce the disagreeing amendments to the
least possible number and then send the
latter to the conference. He suggested that
the bill would be severely criticized, and
those who vote for it will have to answer to
their constituents. He believed all the
amendments could be considered in three
or four days.
Mr. Morrill said the, Committee on Ways
and Means did not arrogate to itself the
power to overrate the sense of the House.
The proposition of his colleague (Mr. Ste
vens) was merely made for the dispatch of
business; there was a special order for to
day and to-morrow. Until this mamas
he disposed of the committee would not
know what kind of a supplemental tariff to
report.
Mr. Wickliffe, of Ky. , opposed the. course
recommended by Mr. Stevens on the
ground that the members would have no
opportunity of expressing their dissent to
offensive amendments, nor could they vote
against them without voting against the
entire bill.
Mr, Stevens' motion to non-concur with
the Senate's amendment and asking for a
Committee of Conference, was then adopt
ed—yens 80, nays 58.
The House concurred in the report of
the Committee of Conference on the disa
greeing amendments to the Indian appro
priation bill.
Mr. Loomis, of Conn., introduced a
joint resolution recommending that, in ad
dition to the 4th of July, the 14th of June
and 17th of September be &merged as
public holidays—the first to commemor
ate the Declaration of National Independ
ence, the second the adoption of our flag,
the third the formation of the Constitution.
The resoluticin was tabled.
Mr. Haight, of N. C., presented the pe
tition of 171 merchants of New York city,
asking for an extension of time allowed
for warehousing goods.
The House passed the Senate bill defin
ing the pay and emoluments of certain of
ficers of the army, with amendments, one
of which embodied Mr. Arnold's bill to
give citizenship to all volunteers who serve
and are honorably discharged, on proving
one year's residence, and another to pun
ish fraudulent. contractors by trial by
Court Martial with line and imprisonment,
and to bring all contractors under the ar
ticles of war. After debate it was deter
mined that this mode of punishment would
lie more prompt than in the civil courts,
sod it was unanimously adopted. It was,
iu etreet, the proposition heretofore intro
diced by Mr. Colfax.
The house also passed the Senate reso
lution regulating the employment of con
victs in the District of Columbia for their
improvement and benefit. The section for
the di.charge of soldiers confined therein
under sentence.of court martial. etc.. was
stricken out as the Committee on the Judi
ciary will probably report a bill especially
for t hat purpose to-morrow, and to prohib
it the incarnation of such persons in fu
ture.
:.`ENATF.-Mr. Latham called up the res
olution to admit the gentlemen claiming
to he Senators from Deseret to the floor of
the Senate. Laid over.
:llr. Davis. of Ky., ofiered a resolution
in relation to General Buckner.
The preamble sets forth that he had se
duced the State Guard of Kentucky, and
committed treason, and was under indict
ment for treason against the I:nited States
in the District Court of Kentucky: there
fore,
h'esolved, That the said Simon Bolivar
Buckner ought to he transferred to the
civil authorities of the United States, to
he tried for treason, whereof he stands
indicted.
On motion of Mr. Latham, the resolu
tion was postponed till to-morrow.
Mr. Kitson introduced a bill supplemen
tary to the act for the release of certain
dpersons held to service or labor in the
istrict of Columbia.
Mr. Hale introduced a bill to repeal
the act. to prevent and punish frauds on
the part of officers entrusted in making
contracts for the Government.
Mr. Saulsbury offered a resolution call
ing on the Secretary of State to inform the
Senate what amount of money was paid to
Maine and Massachusetts for yielding to
the Ashburton treaty, and what has been
done with the money stipulated to be paid
for certain lands taken by Great Britain,
and if the same has not been paid why not.
Adopted.
The bill for the relief of Lieutenant, now
General U. S. Grant., was taken up and
passed.
On motion of Mr. Latham, the Pacific
Railroad bill was taken up.
Mr. Latham proceeded to speak in favor
of the passage of the bill. He said the
bill before the Senate was simple in its pro
visions and has no objectionable features.
It provides for a road 2,425 miles in length
and for a loan on the credit of the govern
ment of 65,000 in bonds running 30 years,
and the grant. of a certain amount of pub
lic lands.
The amount of public lands granted was
greatly smaller in comparison than the
amount granted to other roads. If the
passage of this measure would in any way
embarrass the Government in these
tronblous times he would not in the name
of his people, ask the Government to move
one step towards the building of this road.
The State of California was loyal to the
government and would continue to
be true to the Union and be the
last State to do anything that would
have the least tendency to embarrass
the Government, but in fact the passage
of this bill can have no effect but a bene
ficial one. The bonds of the Government
will not be due for thirty years, and it has
been abundantly shown that the road must
be profitable; and really the Government
will never have to pay a cent.
The Senate proceeded to the considera
tion of the amendments of the special
committee, the first amendment being to
change the western terminus from the 102 d
degree longitude to the 100th degree.
Mr. Trumbull said he had great doubts
about such an amendment. It raised the
very serious question of the right of the
Government to build a road in the limits
of a State.

throughout the entire city.
The ready submission of the inhabitants
to the rule of the United States authori
ties
is surprising and gratifying. The civil
authorities continue to discharge the func
tions of their office as heretofore.
The Provost Marshal's office is throng
ed with applicants for permits to proceed
North. All persons are required to take
the oath of allegiance before this permis
sion is granted.
Jackson's rebel cavalry which has been
hovering about the city since its occupation
by our troops are said to have gone to Hol
ly Springs. As most of them are largely
interested in that city, it is not probable
that they will make any attempt to burn it.
The City Recorder was yesterday arrest
ed by the Provost Marshal for causing the
arrest of a citizen for conversing in the
street with a Union soldier.
Rebel cavalry are scouring the country
around Grand Junction, destroying all the
cattle that can be found.
Application to ship 6,000 bales of cotton
has been made.
The Memphis Argus is still outspoken
in its secession sympathy.
The Avalanche is more guarded and in
clined to stibmit•quiegy, and both papers
advise peaceable submission to the Feder
al rule.
Many stores have been reopened and re
sumed business.
Some dealers refuse Confederate money,
but receive Tennessee bank notes.
Two rebel steamers were captured yks
terday.
The markets are rather. sparsely suppli
ed with meat and vegetables.

NASHVILLE. June 12.—A dispatch from
Gen. Negley to Gov. Johnson, announces
the success of his expedition to East
Tennessee. He took 80 prisoners, in
eluding a number of prominent, citizens,
a drove of cattle and a large drove of
horses intended for the rebel army. The
defeat of Gen. Adams' rebel force in
Swedens Cope was more than represented
at first. Adams • Cseaped without hat,
sword or horse.
The rebel batteries at Chattanoga were
silenced on the 7th after a heavy cannona
ding of three hours. Our forces opened
fire the next day and continued six hours
on the towr, driving the enemy out of his
works and forcing him to evacuate the city.
They burned the railroad bridges to pre
vent pursuit. The east Tennesseeans came
out in crowds along the march and cheer
ed our troops enthusiastically, A great
many applications are made at the execu
tive office for passes to Memphis.

papers received'here contain extracts from
the Vicksburg Press, which testify to the
brilliant operations of our fleet in their
vicinity.
News from Vicksburg on 30th ult., pub
lished in the Richmond Examiner of the
9th inst., says: Two of the enemy's gun
boats amused themselves by throwing shot
and shell into the heart of Vicksberg.—
About one hundred and twenty-five mis
siles were thrown during that time, but
comparatively few of which appeared to
be directed at our forts. We have heard
of no casualties beyond considerably
damaging some private residences and one
or two churches. The report of Vicks7
burg papers state that Desoto Mississippi,
had been destroyed by our fleet, and adds
that but three little buildings now mark
the spot which once glorified in the title
of a city.
The same report says the Federal gun
boats shelled the town of Grand Gulf on
Monday, and their transports landed a
number of troops who pillaged and sacked
the town of everything they could lay their
Lands on.
The Richmond Examiner, of the 9th
inst., devotes its editorial columns to de
ploriag such a fact that there is found no
individual; rendered desperate and weary
of living by the wretchedness this invasion
has brought On him, as to substitute what
may be an 'ignominious suicide for a glo
rious martyrdom, intended as an incen
tive for procuring the assassination of
United States officers who have taken pos
session of rebel territory.
The paper is printed on a half sheet, and
is a striking evidence of the impoverished
condition of affairs in Richmond.
A letter from Staunton, Va., dated June
6th, published in tha same paper, states
that on Sunday Jackson met and engaged
Shields, after the recapture by.the Fede
ral' of Front Royal, taking with it eigh
teen of the Twel ft h Georgia regiment.
The rebels claim to have repulsed our
troops and taken six hundred prisoners.
They give their own loss as being small.
Telegraphic news from Augusta dated
June, reportsthat Gov. Andrew Johnson,
of Teen., was killed in Nashville by a man
named Geo. Brown, who in turn had been
killed.
The same dispatch states that General
Butler had been killed in New Orleans,
but adds that the report lacks confirmation.
