Friday MORNING, JULY 4,

THE EOUHTH OP JULY, 1862
Ouce more we are permitted to celebrate
our National Birth Day, and we rejoice in
li!h m IVI Tr albfiit ’ W ° gre6 ' ,he day
wnh mournful joy-for its ancient glories
are “marred by traitors” in arms, and
marred again by other traitors, who prefer
the porsoned-pen and the shrieking voice
in their assaults upon the Constitution
and the Union. Still, let us rejoice and be
glad over tbe precious remainder ofpolil-'
leal blessings that are yet spared to us. j
The thoughts of our own citizens will
not fail to be turned to the last 4th of
July, When, under the mere suggestion of
possible danger to our country and our
homes, the streets were crowded with men
m martial array, ar.d the air was filled
with martial music, making the occasion
v-orth ‘whole years of peaceful life.” and
manifesting a spirit and a devotion of
which it may be said in the language of the
strong and startling bulletin of one of the
generals of the day, that “no soul now liv
ing will behold its parallel.’’
Bat other reflections arestartodia other
minds by the recurrence of the 4th of
July. I hut sparkling record of fun and
anecdote, the A«c Tnrk Tribune, in a
late issue, with its inevitable sneer at
everything that better men venerate,
makes merry ovcr“semimeiitalUniouism: ”
this means old-time Unionism, which did
not and does not elevate the neero above
every other object in Heaven or Earth,
and speaks thus ia pleasant scorn of the
American Eagle:

about the nature or the habits of our ghv

Tnbune and its adherents may rest assured
that the true symbol of the Union docs
not haunt the miserable localities it speaks
Ol V Ith wide-spread wings she has Sown
weeping away to the remotest seclusion of

coula not endure the blasphemous clamor
of Secession, nor ihe. shrieking of Aboli

which, after being sold thrice to the Gov
ernment by godless contractors, died on
the way to our Union camps 1 Oh no '
The obscene bird the Tribune describes
must have been a base counterfeit of the
good old, much-praised, much-abused,
American Eagle. It must have been a
buzzard, or a kite, or a thieving, dull
tamed pet of an inferior species, with a
- covering of wool instead of feathers, be

one feather of her plumage I
In the last twelve months what grand
dramas have been enacted in our country!
—how immense have been our achieve
ments ; how terrible have been our Ma
tionaLand our personal sufferings! We
have astonished the world with our vast
military resources, and with the unflinch
ing courage and daring devotion of our
untrained legions 1 We have seen 700,000
men leap into the field to preserve our
national integrity, with an effect as sud
den ns the springing forth of the follow

We hatfe witnessed feats of heroism in
peaceful recruits, such as the world has
hitherto only expected from trained and
experienced veterans. \V e have seen
en o er up their lives and their hopes to
sustain our glorious Union banner, with I
a prodigality of patriotism, which the
apples e orts of poetic inspiration have]
utterly failed t° portray! Wo have start
e e nations wiih our stupendous dis*
coveries lathe implement, of warfare.-
The sound of the Monitor', cannon, while
the rebel missiles rebounded harmless
from her iron s des, yet ring ia u, e ears of
European ru.ers, uud tt w.k. a Uwn th
fearful real.zut.on of our genius and our
prowess. It we can do such things during I
a mere intestine broil, begun ayear ago
,hey anxiously ask—What may they no,
dojf attacked by a foreign foe?
The last months have proved our
superior military our limitless
resources in men au"d money, and our ex
haustlcss ingenuity inv.devising and in
using novel weapons of wtls. In the depth
of our calamities, these developments can
not fail to inspire us with aSsense of
security from foreign domination, tiat we
never felt before. \
But there is another and a sadder record
ot the past year to which we turn with ap
prehenstonand-paiu. High places in the

clear in their great cgice.” We have
een , genera! relieved 0 f his command
was so well sustained that he was strongly
censured by the solemn vote of his fellow
partisans in Congress—some of thenT, per
haps, Jthe guilty sharers in his peculations.
We have seen the personal liberty of the
citizen outraged by arbitrary arrest and
imprisonment. We have seen generals
made and unmade, with or without MU se',
even as the breath of a perfect despot may
set men up or cast them down! We have
seen the most shameless political crimes
committed ,n the name of “Liberty!”
86611 811 grades of functionaries,
from the meanest political jobbers to grave
Senators, charged with robbing the Treas
-017 >n all manner of ways, direct and in
direct—aye, and the charges proved! We
have seen corruptions which have made
all previous corruptions that history has
recorded, shrink into trifling peccadillos!
We have seen the Constitution trampled
under foot, not only in the vital matter of
suspending the habeas corpus, but in the
inferior but not unimportant business of
our national currency, which has been
corrupted and destroyed, while specie is
being fast driven from the country' We
! have heard grave Senators denounce all
who might plead for sparing the Constitu
tion, us traitors and dangerous men, and
we have seen taxes levied which we cannot
and must not avoid or evade, but which
appal every citizen, and which many be
e Wlll insult in their utter ruiu l
But these are not all,he calamities to
which we might point, as occurring or
originating in the last year. • We could j
make a schedule at which patriots would |
grow pale, but we stop from very weari
ness, and with an involuntary shudder.
ut ictus hope that our national troubles
have reached their climax-and that. un
der a benign providence, better days are
about to dawn on our unhappy laud. Let
us, while we cannot close our eyes to the
errors and the gross misconduct ul’ those

a support as it ihey were pure and blame
less. Let us hope that corruption has
had Its day, and that reckless and shame
less public agents must soon give place lo

our currency will soon be purified again,
and that union and peace, happiness and
plenty may once more smile upon every
household and gladden overy hearthstone

country! 5 1
THE WAS NEWS.
iuer nearly sis days of the most painful
[ suspense, in regard to fighting which was
known to have taken place before Rich
mond. we are greeted with news which D
qutte as painful as suspense. Our arms
have met with severe reverses, mid there
■- no doubt that our losses have been
heavy. For particulars we refer to our
telegraphic column. We do „ 0 , pretend
to comment upon these disasters at the
present lime, it is apparent that the ene
my is in greatly superior force at Richmond
to our arms, aud, fighting bravely, our men
have been out-numbered and driven back.
-this is sad, sad news for the anniversa
ry ot the Declaration of our Xational In
dependence. Cut we must not despair at
temporary reverses. tVe must ~,V !
the ruionat all htmarus : we mum cuter
anew mio this contest,withu determination
to succeed, with vigor and with patriotism,
she nation must have more soldiers The
army of 20.000.000 of people „ius, not.be
out-numbered by that of a people of 8.000-
000. The call of the government for
more soldiers must meet with a glorious
response, and to-day, the birth day of
American Freedom, all true men should
pledge themselves as did those old, to
•devote their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honors” upon the altar of Liberty
INCREASE THE ARMY.
Facts, which arc stubborn things, prove
that our army should he largely increased,
crom the commencement of this contest
the people of the North have earnestly de
sired a short war aud a decisive one. This
they were promised, but the promise seems
to be ns far from fulfillment, as ever That
McClellan has not taken Riehmond-that
our forces have met with disasters there
anses mainly from the fact, that our wily
enemy had massed a great army against
mm, perhaps outnumbering his forces
three to one. Who is to blame for this?
e can, it is true, fight through to victory
y.th our present army, but it will require
time, which is of far greater consequence
to the enemy than to us. The longer the
war lasts the greater is the probability of
foreign intervention. The rebels from
their position can more readily concen
trate their forces than we. Our policy is
“to conquer, 1 ’ re-possess and hold, and to
do this wo must have more troops than our
loe. VV e cannot afford to give him time
and make a long job of it. What we have
to do we must do quickly, and for this wo
must have more men. Our army has been
greatly reduced by sickness and service
* ““bers have been killed since the war
begun. Thousands more are away on fur
lough, every one of whom should be com
pelled to join his comrades at once. Br
we need more soldiers, with every effec
tive man of our present force in the field.
The nation will grudge neither its men nor
its money, so the result is success. But
how can the govorment hope for success,
With its armies scattered a. Halleck's is,
| the Chattanooga to Memphis and
Pope s command all over Virginia, while
McClellan, with not half enough men, is
opposed at Richmond by the concentrated
forces of the enemy?

An immense meeting was held on Mon
day night at the Cooper Institute in New

city. It was called by those who desire
“the Union as it was and the Constitution
as it is, ” and its purpose was to give ex

made by Hon. Chas. A. Wickliffe, of Ky

Eloquent Tribute to the Memorv
of Col. Sam. W. Winnie y
The Philadelphia Press ot Wednesday
contains the following, from the pen of
Col. Forney.
Iwenty-two years ago, more or less a
young man electrified the cities and towns
of W estern Pennsylvania by his peculiar
and irresistible eloquence. He was more
boy than man His fine face and laughing
eye, his well-knit and handsome figure
h,s winning vmceand his “mother wit ”
made Sam Black ’the wonder of more
than one exciting campaign. The son of
a Presbyterian clergyman, who was an
object ot veneration and love in thousands
of hearts, and whose life had been one
prayer, and sacrifice, and thanksgiving to
Ood. Sain inherited a fervent religious
sentiment, and frequently punctuated his
political appeals and legal arguments
With Bible points and periods. And how
ho loved that old gray-haired father! In
Ins most impulsive moments, however
surrounded or flattered or aroused: wheth
er fired with indignation or revelling in the
merriment created by his exuberant hu
■nor, a mere allusion to his father called
tears to his eyes and gratitude to his lips.
I his remarkable boy. oonscious of his
influence with his own, was always a fa
vunte with the gentler sex, and he never
spoke that he did not attract and delight
the latter. I here was such a fervor in
his words and his way, such an affluence
of language and novelty of idea—he was
so persuasive in his appeals and so terrible
m his invective, that it soon became a by
word m the counties along the Ohio
Jlononghela, and Allegheny rivers that
Sam Black was the most promiTng™
man in all that border, and that no othef'
people could match this Western prodigy
H.s subsequent career, if it did notwhdl'
ly realize the predictions and hopes of
hm friends, has been sufficiently eventful
to emitle n to 1 onorable mention.
To -all on the battle-field, and for his

him irresistible at the bar ; and, in the ex

he obedience of the bully and commanded
the respect of the gentleman. That this
eUrnent, which controlled him so eon
s.amly, should have made him an early vol

was to have been expected. He heard
the agon,zing cal ot his countrv,. wh.n
stnpped and struck by sons suddenly smit

rushed to her rescue. All his impulses

“Expansion” Approved.
A few years ago the leading London
journals had a great deal to say about the
filibustering propensity fo f the people of I
the l nited States. They were aggressors I
upon other people’s territory, lawless rob-1
bers, and all that sort of thing. But we I
perceive that of late they have become
converts to the doctrine of “expansion ”
and think it a very laudable thing to step
in and assume the government of anyi
country which cannot govern itself. I n |
speaking ol the additional troops which
France has resolved to send to Mexico
the London Timu saysi “It is not the
wish of this country that our great and
powerful neighbor should be restricted to
the narrow bounds even of the fairest
country of the European continent A
great and energetic nation naturally seeks I
expansion, and we have no objection that
it should find it on the magnificent plateau

tleman who came down in charge of the
wounded, informs me that yesterday was
the sixth day that the battle has been going
on, with the most terrific fighting the sun
ever shone upon. It has extended the
whole length of our lines. We have lost
a peat many men in killed, wounded and
missing, probably from 15,000 to 20,000-
he also informs me that Gen. McClellan’s
Headquarters are at Hardy’s Landing to
day.and that his lines extended five miles
towards Richmond. This move ofthe
