GENERAL ROSSEAU ON THE
SLAVERY QUESTION.
This meritorious officer, belonging to
Gen. Halleck’s army, who is a native of
Kentucky and a slaveholder besides, made
a speech in Louisville on Monday evening
last, which we take to be a fair expression
of the sentimants and feelings of Union
Southern men generally. In order to
state the speaker’s position in genera!,
he is for “the destruction of slavery;” ns
he is for that of everything else standing
in the way of success of the Union arms. —
To be entirely explicit, he remarked that
“if this rebellion lasted another year sla
very is certain of being utterly destroyed. ’ ’
But we direct particular attention to the
followiug paragraph, a portion of which,
coming from a loyal slaveholder, fighting
for the integrity of the Union, we deem
worthy of emphasizing with italics. After
announcing that the rebellion was based
upon a lie, the General proceeded. Mark
his words:
, “There never was any cause for it. To
begin and keep it up a system of wholesale
lying was adopted, and is pursued indus
tnously to this day. They could teach th e
devil himself much he never knew before
about lying. Wherever the army has aonr
tthas met with this fell spirit offalselwod.
We have taken none of their property ; irti
have excludai their slave* from our 'tines;
wAin needed we have placed guards of our
soldiers around their houses to protect
ondyei theypei'sist in calling us ab
olitionists and negro thieves. And in spite
of our disclaimers and our soldiers 1 asst •
Derations to the contrary, of our words ajid
our acts, they have insisted that our object
is to steal and liberate their slaves. 11
And if we fail to restore the Union ‘*the
everlasting nigger will be the cause of
the failure. They know what they say is
5? / et } he r never cease repeating it.
.Behind and before us this has been the
cry of the enemies of the Government
iVoic, the army of Gen. Balleck is emi
nently conservative. I believe there is nei
ther an abolitionist nor a secessionist init .
If there is one of either faction, Ido not
know of it. So orderly, so patriotic, and
so conservative a body of men I believe
never before assembled together. That
army in ita intercourse with the secession
ists has pleaded and is still pleading for
peace under the old Government , offering
to our Southern brethren all they ever had.
and claiming nothing except in common
with them • ihey want to take nothing
trom any one, but desire that their South
ern brethren shall enjoy all their rights
unimpaired. But the negro is in the way,
m spite of all that can be done or said. v
The chief obstacle, it will be seen, to a
restoration of the Union, is the negro
question: and that is rendered insur
mountable by the infernal falsehoods of
the leading rebels. charging the Unionists
with a desire to set their negroes free.
Gen. Bosseau informs'us that in the army
unde* Halleck, numbering. two hundred
thousand men, there is not “one aboli
tionist or secessionist;” that they are all
for the Union and the Constitution as they
were. They proclaim these to he their
objects, and yet they are not believed ;
and why? Here is ati army ol' over
whelming numbers, among whose officers
and men there is uot a single abolitionist,
but thousands ot_ slaveholders, carrying
dismay and desolation into the very heart
of the rebellion, all proclaiming their anx
iety to live on terms of peace and equality
with those who see nothing but annihila
tion before them, and yet their protesta
tions are not believed. Can not the reader
readily imagine the cause of this ineredul
: ity? It is easily comprehended.
The accursed, unceasing and malignant
spirit Abolitionism is the cause. General
Halleck, with the advice of General
Bosseau and all the slaveholding Generals
in his immense army, issued an order, in
forming the people of their military divis
ion that the object of the government in
pursuing the war is “not to interfere with
local imiitutiontfut torestorethe Union.”
Bat this piece of information is no sooner
proclaimed than a Fremont, instigated by
Northern Abolitionists, issues another
order, setting the entire slave population
of Missouri freo. Fremont’s order is hailed
by Abolitionism throughout the country as
the right step in the right direction; tlio
cry goes forth that slavery was the cause of
the war, and the cause must be forcibly
abolished. True, the President revoked
the order of Fremont, but that did not
modify the spirit of Abolitionism. Gov
ernor Johnston goes as Military Governor
to Tennessee; he proclaims the intentions
of the government to be those announced
by Gen. Halleck; but immediately another
General, Phelps, issues an order, not only
freeing the Blaves of Mississippi and Lou
isiana, but also in denunciation of Cathol
icity, the religion of two-thirds of the peo
ple of the latter State. He too is repri
manded by the President, but Abolition
ism sustains the Abolition portion of
Phelps’ order.. Hunter, in the district
•nclnding South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida, in which there are more slaves
than whites, startles the nation with an
order—prepared for him by the Emanci
pation League of New York—emancipa
ting over a million of the most miserable
bondmen on the continent, and is sustained
and applauded by the entire Abolition
press of the country. The President again
steps in and revokes Hunter’s order, in
forming the country, this time, that he re
serves, the freeing of slaves by proclama
tion to himself, and intimating that the
contingency might arise for the use of that
extraordinary power.
Jf the people of the South had not,
in these acts, enough to rouse their suspi
cions of our Generals’ and Governors’
Sincerity, our present Congress furnished
sufficient to confirm them. At the begin
annn ° war Congress, unanimously,
““nine ' ,a °’' jm t 0 be the -‘oration o
’ W : lhout interfering in the local
institutions of the States Th.
gr*., .tits present se,ln t “T 0 ?":
this solemn declaration, and . rM ? ln ed
~ts andspeechesdemonstratedihatAbolb j
t.On determination .snotth, restorationof J
the Union, but the interference with local
institutions, until the Southern States are
reduced to the condition of conquered
foreign provinces. The man now in Con
gress who talks of the Union and the Con
stitution is sneered at; and the Abolition
press throughout the country sustain their
injurious proceedings. Their motto now
is “the Union as it ought to be. not us it
was,” which moans a Union of their own
construction.
With these notorious fuels, these un
disguised declarations of the Abolitionists
in Congress and of the Abolition press, is
it astonishing that even these honest de
clarations of -General Rosseau ami bis
comrades are utterly repudiated by the
people to whom he alludes? Does he not
see himself, that, notwithstanding bis
statement, that there is not “one Aboli
tionist” in the immense army to which he
belongs; and that, they all, Democrats and
Republicans, rushed to the service for the
protection of the Government, the Aboli
tionists ill Congress and out of it are de
termined to make the army the instru
ment of their infamous designs ? As lone
as Northern Abolitionism pursues its pre
sent course we shall not be surprised to
see the people of the .South repudiate
even General Rossean's truthful interpre
tation of the feelings of the Northern
people. In his candid and ingenuous
statements he unconsciously lays bare the
workings of Abolitionism upon the South
ern mind; and all the assurances ot the
General will amount to nothing, so long
as it is permitted to rear its monstrous
visage. Abolitionism was one of the chief
causes of this rebellion, it is now trie
principal one preventing the reuuion of the
States.
THE DEMOCRACY OF BEAVER
COUNTY.
1 lie tone of the Democracy throughout
the entire Commonwealth is very decided
and inspiring; the resolutions’ already
passed in their several Oountv Conven
tions breathe a firm and patrioiic on ,i
hopeful spirit. The latest demonstration
of this character is that of the 1 lemuerats
of Beaver County; we direct attention to
the following synopsis of their pt i.-eed
ings.
tirst. Equal and exact justice n. all
men ; the full enjoyment of speech, the
press' and religion ; the preservation and
support of both the National and State
governments. Second. Opposition to un
authorized and violent arrests and seizures
of peaceable citizens: as a ground work
for this position ‘‘we take Article-fill of
Amendments to the Federal Constitution,
and Section Sth of Article yth o! the. Co
nstitution of Pennsylvania, which an- in
letter and spirit alike, as follows : "The
people shall be secure in their persons,
houses, searches and seizures; and iliat
no warrant to soar,'lt any plaoo. u,
seizo any parsons or.tliin.es. .-hall be issnoil
without describing thorn as nearly as may
be. not without probable canso, sup ported
by oath or ftttirmation.' "
The legimate authority ot the General
Government is abundantly sufficient for all
the purposes for which it'was created: and
its powers being expressly enumerated,
there can be no justification for claiming
anything beyond them: and every friend
o! our iree institutions should alivavs !„.
prepared to maintain unimpaired and in
full vigor the rights and sovereignty of the
Mates, and to confine the action' of the
General Government strictly to the sphere
of its appropriate duties.
Tile Union ns it was u „d ,| IP t'„ nsl j, u .
tion as it is, is a cardinal principle ot the
Democratic party, but we sincerely believe
that the Constitution cannot be maiiuain
ed nor the Union preserved bv ihe mere
exertion oi the coercive powers confided
to the General Government. On the con
trary we think thnt the foundations must
be laid in the affections of the people: and
in the fraternal attachment that the citi
zensof the several States hear to one an
other, as members of one political family,
mutually"contributing to promote tliehan-
Dtness of each other.
Resolved, That the course of the Con
gress now in session at Washington Citv.
in legislating almost exclusively for the
negro, and urging forward fantuicnl and
unconstitutional schemes lor the emanci
pation of the slaves, is calculated to divide
and weaken public sentiment in the North
to discourage the Union men of the .South
ern States, and to strengthen the cause of
rebellion, and merits the unqualified con
demnation ot every white man and of eve
ry patriot.
Resolved, That the unswerving devotion
ot the gallant Democracy of Greene coun
ty entitles them to the highest considera
tion of the Democracy of the State at
large, and we cheerfully second their nom
ination of W. T. H. Pauley, Esq., for a
position on the State ticket at the coining
October election, and instruct our dele
gates to the 4th of July convention to vote
lor him, and to use all honorable means to
insure his success.
Samuel B. Wilson, the chairman of tb(
committee which reported the resolutions
being called upon made, the following ob
servations
, He began by referring to the resolu
ions which had been passed, and, address
ing the venerable chairman, whose first
vote was cast for Thomas Jefferson, for
I president, said that it was peculiarly fit
ting that he should be called upon to pro -
side over a Democratic Convention, at
which the resolutions referred to were so
unanimously passed, since they were
nearly all taken from the writings of
Thomas Jefferson himself. He felt proud
to know that, upon all the great questions
of political policy and civil rights, the
Democratic Party to-day occupies the
same position and holds the saie opiu
10ns that it did when Jefferson was twice
elected President of the United States.—
He anticipated that some one might object
to the resolutions because there Was
among them no flaming declaration l 0 „.
cermngthe war, and no “spread eagle”
flourishes about “the stars and stripes, ”
“our glorious Union,” ic., “but” said
he, you, Mr. Chairman,havoone son,three
grandsons, and six nephews now engaged
m fighting the battles of our country, mid j
when I look around me, 1 sec scarcely a
delegate in this Convention who is not.
represented by some near relative in the
army of the Union. Examples like these
speak louder than any ‘spread eagle’
resolutions to prove our devotion to our
country. Democrats give their lives and
send their sons to pour out their blood in
of the Union, and they let others
talk." He spoke of the resolution con
cerning the legislation in Congress for the
benefit of the negroes, and earnestlv de
nounced the schemes of the abolitionists.
He said, “ and when I say abolitionists, I
do not wish to be misunderstood. Ido
not mean the Republican party. lam far
from saying that all the Republicans are I
abolitionists, but when I speak of aboli
tionists I- mean all who follow the teach
[ ings of Snmner and Sevens and Wade and
Bingham and Lovqjoy, and others whom I
might name. These men, and their fol
lowers I hold to be disnnionists, and no
more loyal to the United States Govern
ment than their co-laborers, the fire
eaters of the Bonth.”
The President’s Response to the
Presbyterian Letter.
Department of State, Washington,
•lune », 18C2. —To the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Chnrcli of the United'
States, holding its annual session in the
city of Cincinnati:—Reverend Gentle
men : —1 have had the honor of receiving
your address to the President of the
United States, and the proceedings of your
venerable body on the subject at the exist
ing insurrection, by which that address was
accompanied.
These papers have been submitted to
the 1 resident. lam instructed to convey
to you his most profound and grateful ac
knowledgments for the fervent assurances
ot support and sympathy. they contain,
lor many years hereafter one of the
great estsubjects of felicitation among good
men will be the success of the Government
ot the I nitcil States in preserving our
loderal Union, which is the ark ot* civil
and religious liberty on the continent and
throughout the world.
All the events of our generation which
preceded this attempt at revolution, all that
shall happen after it, will bn deemed unim
portant in consideration of that indispen
sable and invaluable achievement. The
men of our generation, whose memory wili
In- the longest and the most honored, will
be they who thought the most earnestly
prayed the most fervently, hoped the most
confidently, (ought the most heroically and
snllcrcd the most patiently in the sacred
cause ot freedom and humanity. The re
cord of the action of the Presbyterian
Church seems, to the President, worthy
ol its traditions and ils aspiration, as an
important branch oftho church is founded
by the Savior of men.
Commending our yet distracted country
to the interposition and guardian care ot
the Rnlerand Judge of nations, the Presi
dent will persevere steadily and hopefully
in the great work committed to his bands,
relying upon the virtue nnd intelligence of
the people of the United States, and the
candor and benevolence of all good men.
I have the honor to be, reverend gentle
men. your very obedient servant,
Wiu.u.M H. Sewarh.
Tho Coming Battle—Richmond.
l'he road to Richmond, a city but four
miles oil over the hill, can be seen for a
long distance: as it goes directly from us.
every rut and clod is visible until it crosses
the biil-top to descend on the other side.
Just to the right, a spire, standing out in
bold relief against the sky, tells us that
Richmond still remains at its original sta
tion beside the James river, and seems to
call on us on to the assault which will make
us ,:s possessors. Thousands of soldiers
and civilians have studied that spire. As
universal curiosity exists to sec this only
part ot all Richmond visible to Federal
eyes. From General McClellan down to
the lowest private, every one who could
lifi-t romo to s€m* it. and gone away.again
speculating ujmn tho time uetWarv for

The gunboats St. lands, .Mound City,
Lexington and Conestoga, and the trans
port New National, having on board the
Forty-sixth Indiana, Col. Kite'll, which left
here a week ago to open communication
with Ccneral Curtis' army, and remove
(d,st met tons from White river, ascended
that stream. The gunboat Mound City,
Cant. Kelty commanding, was about a
mile and a half in advance. In the bend
of the river, near St. Charles, two con
cealed batteries opened on the Mound
City. Her decks were immediately clear
ed for action, and as soon as the range of
the works were obtained the guns opened
lire. Cant. Kelty signaled Col. Fitch to
land his force a mile below the fort, which
he successfully accomplished, the Lexing
ton and St. Louis shelling the woods, un
der cover of which Col. Filch gained the
rear of the rebel position. At this junc
| turn a shot came plunging from n siege
gun on the bluff, and struck forward on
port side of the Mound City's casements,
penetrating it and passing through the
steam drum, filling the vessel with escap
ing vapor and scalding nearly every one
on board. Twenty-three of the officers
and crew, out of over a hundred and sev
enty-five, escaped from injuries. A hor
rible scene ensued. Manv of the 'crew,
frantic .from pain, jumped overboard, and
some were drowned. Boats from the Con
estoga, which was coming up at the time
.to support the Mound City, were sent to !
their relief, but the rebels fired on the
men in the water with grape and canister I
from field pieces, murdering the most of'
I those attempting to escape. ,
j Apprised of their position at the river,
i Colonel Fitch drew up a regiment and
pushed forward and carried the Fort by
storm at the point of the bnvonct. The
rebel works consisted of two batteries, the
lower one mounting six field pieces. and
upper one three heavy siege guns, manned
by four to six hundred men, under the
command of Colonel Fry, late of the 17.
S. Navy. About two hundred rebels are
said to have escaped, and over one hun
d red and fifty reported kil led and wounded,
and thirty prisoners, among them Colonel
fry, who was wounded in the Rlionlder
and brought up on the Conestoga. Capt.
Kelly was severely scalded about the face

1 o Hon. K, M. Stanton’, Secretary of
War: ’ ;
On arriving eight miles below here last
evening, we ascertained that the enemy
had two batteries' here supported by a
force, number unknown, of infantry.
A combined attack was made at 7 o'clock
a. ra. to-day. The regiment under my
command, the 46th Indiana, landed two
and a half miles below the batterr and the
skirmishers were thrown out, who drove
in the enemy’s pickets. The.guafroats
then moved up and opened their battery.
A rifle shot from one of the batteries pen
etrated thesteam drum of the Mound City,
disabling her and scalding most oi her
crew. Apprehensive that some similar
accident might happen to the other gun
boat and leave a small force without their
support, I oignalled the gunboats to cease
firing and we would storm the battery.—
They ceased exactly atthe righttimeaud my
men carried the battery gallantly. The
Infantry were driven from the support of
the guns, the gunners shot at their post,
and their commanding officer Frye, for
merly ot the [J. S. Navy, was wounded
and taken prisoner and eight brass and
iron guns with ammunition were captured.
The enemy’s loss is unknown. We have
buried seven oreightof their dead and the
other dead and wounded are being brought
in. Ihe casualties among my oWn com
mand are small, the only real loss being
from the explosion of the Mound Oitv.—
She will probably be repaired ami ready
to proceed with us up the river 10-mur

as possible.
Very respectfully yours;

gallantly carried by Col. Fitch at the head
