THE GAZETTE OH TREASON.
In an editorial in Thursday's Post, sug
gested by the probability of our govern
ment resorting to conscription, we staled
‘hat the rebels are more united now than
they were sir months ago: and that this
was partially produced by the course of the
Northern Abolitionists, furnishing South
ern traitors with material by which they
are crushing out the Union feeling in the
South. This idea has been repeated over
and over again by the leading Unionists ol
- -the Border States. Joseph Holt has im
plored Congress to refrain from playing
into the rebels' hands, hr sm-b speeches ns
Lovejoy'a and others. Oov. Johnston, of
Tennessee. Ims over and m-er aeain con
jured them to dnsist. Parson Brownlow.
William 11. Polk. (Governor Stanley, of
Ivorth Carolina, and a multitude of
others, have joined in the general
desire of Southern Union men: sud not
withstanding these notorious facts, the ab
olition idiot of the Govt/,- rails it
son.’ We begin to suspect that the editor
who employs this b-rm so frequently is
not awaro of its meaning. The citizen
who differs from its partisan crotchets, no
matter how absurd or contemptible, is a
traitor! Senator Cowan it almost daily
denounces as such. The X. Y. World,
one of the ablest and must devoted of llc
pubhean Union papers, the Goieitc accuses
of treason, merely lor the expression of
an opinion concerning the management of
the War Department. Kvery Democrat,
who will not vote to pm abolitionists in
office it denounces ns a sympathizer with
Breckinridge and his treason: in ira: hit has
noother term but that of traitor for nil who
are not favorable to its disgustingnotions of
“natural and political equality." This is
the spirit of infernal fanaticism ; it , overs
its own dark designa against the Const na
tion and the Union by accusations against
its betters, and it would, if it could, not
only silence complaintagainst its viliiauies.
but would grant no toleration of opinion
which did not applaud its performances.
Its teachers are fanatical, revolutionary
and destructive as the rebels thc-mselves :
and like them, to accomplish their designs,
they would pour the very - milk of concord
into hell,’’ to destroy their c: entry's
peace and confound all unity and fellow
ship. among their fellow men. With a
maniac's fury they revel in the prospect of
blood and carnago ; the destruction of tin
leading rebels will not appease their ven
geance, hut universal slaughter only is to
stop the contest. All who inhabit a
‘southern State nro to be subject to the
horrors of indiscriminate massacre if Abo
lition designs aro accomplished. T'ity for
the thousands who are left widows’and
fatherless by the deaths of patriots who
gave up their lives for the Union never
moistens their glassy eyes, but the bloody
monsters are struggling to puss nets in
Congress, designed to prolong the rebel
lion by crushing all Union feeling in the
Southern States, the result of which must,
be either the acknowledgement of the suc
cess of Southern treason, or a war of!
wasting extermination. Tho lasting, ex
“terminating and horrid hatred of the
Moors in Spain was not more unrelenting
than the infernal malice of this fell spirit,
of proscription. A shocking scheme, nfc
the thought of which humanity .shudders,
to set a million of the most debased slaves
In tho country free, in a district where they
outnumber the whites, was one oftheir pet
maasnres, and all who opposed that, most
shocking enterprise was denounced by its
advocates ns traitor-.. Is it not monstrous
to have such a country ns this is cursed by
such infernal fauaticisraßut, thanks to
the President and the patriotic men of his
party, that vile scheme was suddenly
strangled,- Had it not been, and the mil
lion of slaves referred to set free, the
country would be,by this time, not reading
of McClellan - late fights near liichmond,
Imt we would probably be pondering over
the accounts of outrages perpetrated upon
both sexes and all conditions, unparalleled
in atrocity since horrors begun. The
.dread of these, however, had no terrors
for your genuine Abolition philanthropist
To confer a doubtful benefit upon a million
of blacks, it was and is willing to subject to
their fury, their lusts and vengeance that
number of whites. This and similar
schemes we have opposed; we do not think
them calculated to reach the point propos
ed—the restoration, of the Union.
The Gazette may denounce this as treas
on, and threaten through some skulking cor
respondent, to put us down,but still as long
:a it and its correspondent permits us, we
shall take the liberty of opposing all such I
infamous designs. And, in doing so, we I
shall not run counter to the opinions of !
“three-fourths" of this community, but
only to that of a small, though busy and.
restless, set d esigning demagogues.
The Gazette, which the
term traitor to every one who differs from
it in relation to the prosecution ot the war,
or the proceedings of Congress, yesterday
published a column sneering at McClellan
in which that consistent paper claims the
largest liberty of expression. The New i
York World the otiierday said sometime.:
about the War Department.- and t).
setts denounced it as treason- ff such
blinded partisans had find- v.-ay the re
would be no end to their proscription..
• From tho article in 'l'lvstinn we select
the opening pur.igraph:
“It seems to be the opinion of a number
ol persons, who have lately beeume ex
ceedingly res;less, owing to the warm
weather, or the fever-crisis ofexeited pnr
izaushlp, ol which, consciously or uurim
-ctously, they are the vieiiuis, timt no word
't disapproving criticism should annear in
our columns in reference to the campanil
•>n the lcninsula. So it was all tlinnmli
■ast autumn mid winter, with thn same
e ass ol persons, in reference to the i.oli-y
.dinaetiou which characterized Gen'. Me-
Uelian sterm of command on the Potom
ac—they regarded it as tho height of pre
sumption, at least, if not downright blas
phemy, to censure tlmt policy, „r to liml
any manner ot fault with anything whatev
er supposed to have the sanction of tie
young General, who, without liavingtum;!,:
a battle or even been under lire to:
held us a soldier, had been .suddenly eleva
ted to tile place of Commander-in-chief of
the army on the retirement of General
bcott.'’

Senator Simmons’ Seat.
Ihe Senate, by referring to the .ludicia
ry Committee the resolution expelling Mr.
Simmons, has decided to retain that Rhode
Island Senator in his seat. Ver.- well
Each House is to judge its own members,
and if the Senate is more at ease in the com
pany of flagrant jobbers and speculators,
there is no reason why the Senate should
not have that particular solace. Bat with I
what grace, after the passage of the bill I
making sack things'little better than felo.f
py, can Mr. Simmons pershrtintaking part I
in the deliberations of Congress? - j

i tc . d fcp'tcs transport .luniata, lying aground
wi h 1 room on bm rd about three miles
below the Landing, was fired on by several
pieces of artillery planted on the left batilc
of the river, at a distance of a few hundred
yards. A considerable portion of the bag
gage and a quantity of munitions were
thrown overboard to get the boat afloat •
but ere this was done, however, she was
struck several times, and three men were
wounded. The gunboats in the neivhbor
bood coming up, the rebel artilleiT made
oil trom their masked position, not, how
ever, till it had been made too hot. for
them to stay longer.
Gen. McClellan is pushing forward tin

line and works, and wherever he appeared
|he was vociferously cheered. The troops
| are rapidly improving in condition, al
, though since the recent battles they have
i done a great deal of work in the trenches
Our lines extend between four and five
miles from the river, in a semi-circle. The
rebel lines are some four miles beyond

Washington- Citv, July 11.—Senatk—
■Mr. leu Kyck, ot New \ork, opposedthe
passage ol the bill at some length.
It was further discussed by Messrs.
< ■rimes and Cowan, who favored it, and it
was then passed.
Mr. Powell, of Ky., called up the reso
lutions calling for further evidence and
[ documents connected with Joseph Holt
ami Kobt. Dale Owen. Passed.
I'he bill amendatory of the act of 1795
calling out the militia, &c., was taken up.

Louisville, July 11.—Twelve hundred
rebel infantry and cavalry, with three
pieces of artillery, under John Morgan,
lire at Glasgow. They sent a reconnoitre
mg party within three miles of Mumfords
ulle yesterday, it is supposed with the in
tention to burn bridges and commit other
depredations. This is the same party
which recently attacked a detachment of
the Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry at Tomp
kinsville. Not over twenty of the Penn
sylvanians there were killed. The reports I
of great losses there are false. Morgan I
has issued a proclamation calling on Ken-1
tuckians to rise. No injury has yet been I
done to the Louisville and Nashville Rail-1
road, but cars will not run till Monday
next. • I
Nashville, July 11.—A dispatch to

at Thompkinsville by 2,000 guerrillas un-1

at Glasgow, and the 11th Michigan have

Washikctos, .Tilly 11.-The Richmond
Examiner o( the '>>h. 'rec.-ived here, in
discoursing upon Mel-Mian's prr-.vnt posi
tion", says:
. holier,-- ail Uiat was known in this
City yesterday, outside of the several cir
cles of Buri-uiicrnry. was that the enemy
had taken a strong position, with one of
his flanks resting on lie* river about Berk
ley* completely nnder covet of his gun
boats, and his extreme right reaching to
Herring creek, where his position is de
fended oy an almost impassable morass-.
I was supposed that the enemy would
have been aithcKcd yesterday, but there
had been no lighting up to the last ac
counts. It is not to he supposed that tho
enemy has selected these ■ plantations as
the scene of h:s last great stand without
good reasons. The first and most appa
rent of these is, that Westover Landing
perhaps the very best on .James River!
and streams for miles up and down, being
broad and deep, affords both excellent sea
room for gunboats and transports; but
tm.s is by no means the only advantage of
tms position.
Besides a good anchorage at the landing
tncre are on the \\ est of Berkley immmem
able impassable ravines running from near
the Charles City road on the North to the
.lames river, .making successful attack
Irom that quarter next to impossible.—
" K . llm q unrler of a mile of where theso
io O'! i"'-'Herring Run Creek crosses
the Charles City Road and running in a
South-easterly direction, skirts on the
North and Lust ot the plantations of
Berkl v and V, estover and empties into the
.Inmc-s river at the extreme Eastern boun
uary ol Ibo iaitor. f i Ikmvljolp course of
ibis creek is one impassable morass, whilo
along its Northern and lihstern hanks ex*
tend heights of h‘tliaio;i n long range of
hills that overlook the Wesiuver and Berk
ley estates offer eligible position for heavy
guns.
It will seen that, protected on the
South by Iho river nml his gunboats, on
the west byimpa s sible lavines, and on the
north and east by Herring Creek, and the
Height? ol f.nicmon, the onerovhs posi
tion presents but one pregnable point, the
piece of level country northwest of West*
over, Irom u tpmrter to u half mile in
width, laying between the head of the ra
vines and point when? Herring Creek
crosses Cnarles C*ty road; hut it is certain
that th<* enemy, with his immeusc re
sources ot men aud machinery, will in a
very brief period, obstruct by art this only
natural entrance to Ills stronghold. Al
ready b js within range of his gunboats
and ol Ins siege guus, planted on the Rn
ienton hills. Another day may see it
strewn with felled timbers, and brittleing
with field batteries. In enumerating the
advantages secured to the enemy, Ilia pres
ent position, his superior facilities of
transportation must not be omitted; whilst
our ammunition and stores must be wagon
ed a distance of nearly thirty miles," his
steamers and transports art; running up
to the very doors of his tent. Tor the
benefit ot distant readers, we mav hope
[iToperly say something of* the character
«*f the country to which ?;o suddenly aud
uni.-xpertt-my the seat ot war has been
.-mired. Ten days ago, when McClellan
beleaguered Richmond, with the excep-
Lion.-s of about five miles of Chicahominv
tow' ground, he occupied the must barren,
and at the same time the worst watered
and the ino«t unhealthy region of East*
crii \ irgima. .Agues, hoop-poles, and
V\ nortleberrif.s hare been always the only
sure crops of the country. With a radius

The country of the lower .lames river is
:ho very gardsn spot of Virginia, and no
where ones t];c soil better repay the toil
tat] skill of the husbandman.
'l he Examiner says to ii 3 own govern
,u..en!,.t. 11 ‘hens has already been enough
o< trilling and abuse of the public mind by
the suppression or reserve offacts on the
part o! the government. If tin; Command
ing (.eneral could write a dozen of lines
giving the reside of the light at Gaines’’
Mills, why on each succeeding day might
we not have had a bulletin of equal length
snnply stating the result? It woSld
have occupied but a little of time,
and would have conferred an inculetmhle
benefit upon the wlkde country in com
posing the public anxiety. If the first
qflieinl display oi’onr success has not been
fully sustained by subsequent events, anil
tj the public expectations which were
then rinsed to such a heighth, are to bo
reduced, ive believe that our people can
bear t ie disappointment withoutwaitingto
hear the facts drip out through the slow
?or confessions of those in authority.
It McClellan has affected a eommuuica
uon with the river why was not this fact
boldly ami sincerely announced instead of
rilling.with the public mind by reports of
the surrounding of portions of his army
ill triangular swamps and in the neighbor
hood ot mill ponds and other vague stories
intended to break the fall of public expec
tation The public is left under the impres
sion ot general facts. We know that the
ya or ol our troops has so far prevailed,
■ id that the enemy has been pushed from
his lines „l investment, of this oily, but
"t' )' e . strp, 'S‘ !l of •!>« coherent rein,
nant el his army; whether lhat remnant is
yet involved bv our lines or has been re
inforced lor another grand battle are ques
tions which everybody has been askine
lor the last week, and whiclr the Govern
ment plainly refuses to answer, by wiih
holding from the people all information
of the battle of Richmond.
Aslvice to (lie Ladies.
We nave repeatedly urged our lady
readers to go to McClelland's Auction, 55
