ANOTHER. TRAITOR.
Senator Browning, of Illinois, tlio p.u
tieular personal and political friend of
President Lincoln, has taken a very dan
gerous step, the consequence of which no
one can contemplate without serious ap
prehension. T.iko Senator Cowan, the
gentleman trom Illinois is not altogether
disposed to follow in the wake of the fan
atics. He has his own ideas about public
questions, and remembers that there is
such an instrument in existence as the
Constitution, which he has taken a solemn
oath to protect, observe and defend. In
the discussion of tlm conliscation biil on
Wednesday, the Illinois Senator tlm.; al
luded to the crotchets of that persistent
agitator, Charles Sumner, lie said;
are now in a great struggle to se
cure constitutional liberty. Jf,' h, this
struggle, the Constitution is overthrown
by rebel or by loyal men. or both of them,
the people have bled in vain. The Sena
tor from Massachusetts [Mr.Sumner | had
brought Joncard novel views in stirniorf 01'
this measure— such as mould in themsebis
destroy all unity, and arrrthr.ar the Con
stitution. His arguments in luvor of con
fiscation were drawn from the old colonial
jaws, or English law. and cannot ho bind
mg on mi. as they are not in anv way bound
by the provisions of the Constitution, if
we have the power to pass a conliscation
hill, that power must be derived from the
Constitution. The example ol ancient
nations gives us no authority."
Sumner declares tlim be lias heard
enough ot this twaddle about the Consti
tution ; and Hen Wade save that the mini
uho now. talks about it is a traitor: but it
seems that the onlv aide lawvers in tin*
•Senate still cling to that snored iustrumeni.
reminding us of i|,« better days of the
Uepublie, when great men adorned our
National Councils. Places tilled by 'Web
ster and his cotemporaries, who were all
the time teaching the nation to revere the
Constitution, are now occupied |, r men
who trample upon it.
Mr. Browning informs the country ilint
Sumner's theory not only violates the Con
stitution, but is'calculated to destroy it :
yet this same Sumner is the idol of
Abolitionism throughout the country.
The set of lunatics of Ihe Pittsburgh
t-ascltc .school not only support .Sum
ner in all his etlbrls to v iohilo the Con
slitutio". but the traitors denounce
cvci v niau, oven in tln-ir own partv. who
will not adopt their infernal doctrines.—
Observe their persecution of Senator
Cowan 1 There lias been nothing propos
ml, calculated to aid liie government lo
crush the rebellion, that lie has not sup-,
ported: but.like Browning, lie lias bis own
convictions of constitutional duty, and be
cause he has, and is possessed ol'sailKeienl
spirit and manhood to avow them, lie is
set. upon by every miserable Abolitionist
in the State.
Ihe men like Browning and Cowan, now
in the public .service, who arc resisting
the efforts of lunatics In destroy thecharter
of American liberty, will be remembered
with na much affection as those heroic men
who are now risking and giving their lives
to prostrate Southern treason. ] n .March,

to combat the then new idea of •• an im
pressible conflict," l,e did not exhibit as
much true moral courage as do these Kc-
publican Senators who now resist the

Mark Antony, said “hear m.* |V,,■ my
In- was heard anil In- stilled the
storm; he quitted the lashing billows oI
agitation, and the causa of the Union was
again triumphant. His great sentences
uttered upon that, occasion are now incoi -
pornted into our school hooks, and
SO it will be witli the spneehes
these statesmen who are nmv
gallantly struggling to prostrate rebel
lion, and at. the same time preserve on
Constitution from Abolition violation.-
Even should the madness of the hourdrivi
these men into involuntary reliremei
they can, in their seclusion, console the
selves with the reflection that they wr
piostrated in a conflict lor the preservation
of their country’s Constitution. This will
repay them lor lost position, and be a
shield against the sneers and denunciations
of malice and proscription. Hut we cling
to the hope that “thesohcr. second thought"
will soon begin to assert its power, when
this fell spirit of Northern fanaticism will I
be buried in the same deep pit with crush
ed rebellion. I

John, and commend his candor for making

that John don’t exactly see Imw he

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
I he Philadelphian Sort!, .1 m.rbau. tin
leading Bcpubliean paper of this Slate,
alludes ill the following manner to the
tiew Tarilf bill repotted by Thaddeiis
Stevens. L'niike the Pittsburgh Oiiietle,
the i\orth American is m,t entireiv ab
sorbed in schemes for negro i.-imLnelpn
lion, but has a thought for the interests of
the white manufacturers and laborers of
Pennsylvania. Our Philadelphia enlcm
pory remarks:
'flic new Tarilf bill reported by the
Committee of Ways and Means, which wc
print this morning, proves, on exainiua
tion, to be a very dilfereiit document front
that which the public have been led to
1 lte synopsis which was pre
pared lor the newspapers represented a
very diflereul bill-at least in all that
relates to iron. ]| Imd nunn ylven nut
that, the principle upon which the hill
was baaed was to increase the duties upon
all articles by an amount equal to the t-,\-
tmposed in the now excise bill which yes
terday passed |, ot h hen.-;,--, and bniv
awaits the signature of the President to
become a law.
The loyal ami patriotic mamtiiu! mvr
of Pennsylvania, engaged in the iion lm- i
liess, were perfectly willing, and indeed
were anxious to pay their share of the cost
ot the rebellion, provided ibis principle
was fairly and equitably carriod out. They
have been obliged to advance the wages ol
their employees It) to’Jitper cent., because
full one-third of their hands have g,en’ to
battle for their country. They have seen
not only their own articles ~f liimiiifacture
heavily taxed in the Kxcise bill, wiih.mt a

Gen. Beauregard lias turned overt,,
Bragg Ins comnmml in the Mi-sissippi
valley and gone to liichmoml. Two ex
planations are given id this proceedin'.'
One is that he goes Hast to take com
mand, and another that he goes there to
explain the evacuation of Corinth. To
take command at liichmoml would he to
supersede both Johnston ami He,,. John
ston, it is true, is laid up from his wounds
received at. Fair Oaks, and Hoe isG.-nerul’-
m-Chief of the Confederate army, hut the
latter would hardly content himself to sit
down in his office and merely furnish
plans, when, as 1m may think, fhere is
a chance for glory in the held. To pu
Beauregard m command would only lm ti
convince the Confederate army that Ilia

at. Corinth—a species of war at which’, 'i
must lie confessed, all tin- relnd olliccr
have shown themselves adept. And he
sides, it, is known that Jell' Davis is no
friendly to Beauregard. The other ~.\pla
nation is a good deal more plausible, a ’

two
That evacuation of Corinth needs exj.la

Heauregard liad remained he would have

and exhaustive elucidation will not be :u-
I ceptcd by the .secessionists. Iter the bat
tle of Shiloh I lean regard telegraphed to
Richmond that lie had fallen bach t„ <;h r .
inth, which he said he could hold. In his
report of the fight he stated that Corinth
was the “strategic point of the war." | n
an address to his troops he said: "bet 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 in the battle ol Corinth.'-
' ttoshall meet our foe in strength ■
that should give us victory!'' Bragg had j
indulged m similar language. Said he:
lou will encounter him in your chosen
position, strong by nature and improv
ed by art, away from his main reliance—
gunboats and heavy bakeries-and. for
the first time in this war, with nearlvequal
numbers. ~ • ■ \\ e l lilV e, then, but
to strike and destroy, and as the enemy's
-tii resources are concentrated here, we
shall no t on j y redeem Tennessee, Keu
ucky and Missouri at one blow, but open
the portals of the wholcNorthwest.' 1 Why ]■
then, did not these blustering warriors
condescend to light? This is what Beaure
gard Ims been called upon to explain.' Jeif
Mavis evidently wants him to give an ac
count, of himself.
YVhcn President Lincoln’s proclamation
calling out To.ooo volunteers was issued—
a proceeding which was received by the
Confederate Congress with “ shouts of
laughter’’—some jubilant Southern poet
sent over the wires the following stanzas:

It may ho that Beauregard is to go hack

Gas Consumers and Gas Compa
;f' &,.#%. .BiMf .Sv
■ :A case of'intejretst togas consumers in
every citytnd State lias . recently been
decided by the Supreme Court of ;the
State of Wisconsin. In 1857,. Sidney
Shepherd applied to the Milwaukie Gas
Company for gas to light his store in that
city. He was informed that he could
have it if he would sign the application
book endorsing the printed rules of the
company. He refused and the gas was
denied him. He sued the company and
gained a verdict of SI OO damages. The
case was carried to the Supremo Court,
where it was decided that the company
had the exclusive right to make and soil
the gas: was bound to supply it on reason
able terms: that applicants might be re
quired to sign an agreement that is rea
sonable.: and that the following rules of
the company were not reasonable :
‘•That the Company shall at. all times,
by their agents, have access to the premi
ses to examine the gas apparatus, or re
move the meter or service pipe. That the
Company reserves the right to cut off the
service pipe to protect the works against
fraud. That the fittings, after the admis
sion of the gas, must not be disconnected
or opened, either for repairs or extensions,
without a permit from the Company. v
Immediately after the commencement of
the suit, Mr. Shepherd made another de
mand and tenderVif money for gns, and
was again denied. His store was without
gas nineteen months. He brought another
suit against the Gas Company— the pre
vious judgment having been” paid. At
the County Court, the plaintiff was non
suited. He carried his ease to the Su
premo Court, where the non-suit was re
versed, and the jury touml a verdict in
favor of the plaintifffor Sir, no. The Com
pany appealed to the Supreme Court, and
that Court affirmed its last judgment,
amounting with costs to SIKOo.' and there
the matter rests.

< rfin. Hooker, at nine o'clock this morn
ing advnnoptl his division, wifh the view of
occupying a new position. The result was
t!mt his troups met with a most determin
ed resistance from the enemy, which last
ed until tour o (dock in the afternoon, dur
ing which the rebels were forced to give
way before the invincible courage of our
men. Duringthe day everything indica
ted a general engagement, but the enemy
showed no disposition to accept.
Ihe troops all fought as gallantly as
ever. Ihe loss cm our side will be about
two hundred killed and wounded. The
following are among the wounded: Col.
Morrison. Volunteer Aid to (Jen. Palmer,
wounded in the hand; Capt. Rafferty, Ex
ci-lsioi legimeni, »n the ieg. The casual
ties among the otlicors ot the First Massa
chusetts, which siiilered the most, are as

l.ii-ul. I arkei>on, m the leg. The num
ber ui our killed is small, most of the men
beoig wounded.
i he loss ol the enemy is not known,
but it is believed to lie equal to our own.
1 he rebel camp in trout of (Jen. Hooker's
Division, was captured and is now occupi
ed by his troops. Ihe ground fought for
was a swamp with a thick underbrush, be
yond whiyh was an open country. The
wood intervening between our troops and
the enemy prevented the result of the ar
tillery bring being known. Capt. De Rus
sil! .succeeded in getting two Napoleon
twelve pounders through tin* swamp during
tin* afternoon. They did excellent ser
vice. An eflorl id the enemy to capture
them resulted in his being driven back with
severe loss.
f he result o! to-day s tight is highly im
portant to the health of the army, as but
little more ground is lobe gained to nlace
the troops beyond the swamps, (leneral

day superintending all the movements.
