A PROMISING INDICATION
The country has been assured over and
over again by the Southern papers and it
has been rtpeated, just as often, by our
abolition coternporaries, that "there is no
Union feeling in the South." Our radical
abolitionists insist that there is none
even in the border Staten. When ap
pealed to oi desist from r,ulical legislation
calculated to destroy the Union sentiment
of the South. abolitionists sneered out
that there is no Union feeling there. But,
notwithstanding them assertions and the
severe acts of our last Congress against
the South, we find now that there is
Unionism in one at least of the revolted
States, and a great deal of it, too. The
result of the election held in North Caro
lina last week can be construed into
nothing else than a substantial Union
triumph. It is true that the candidate
elected Governor, (Mr. Vance) is an
officer in the reTh — el service, but his
antecedents were such as to rally to
his support the conservative masses of
the State, while his opponent. Mr. John
ston, was the open advocate of the seces
sionists and rebellion. Col. Vance is an
ex-member of Congress, and during his
service there he was never found acting
with the extremists of the South. He re
sisted the secession of his State from the '
Union as long as he could, and his accept
ing service iu the rebel army was, doubt
less, to keep himself in favor with the
people.
The late election seems to have been
an exciting one; all the leading fire-eaters
going for Johnston. It is said that young
Toombs, 'Wig&ll and Pryor left flu:South
ern army to stump the State for him, and
at Raleigh, Jeff Davis himself was an
nounced to speak in his candidate's be
half. The reader can infer from these
facts that the rebels looked upon the elec
tion of Johnston as being important to
their cause. And yet he is beaten over
twenty-five thousand votes. This result
we regard as being, if not a real and
square expression in favor of return
ing to the old Union, it is at least
an open and pointed condemnation
of the Southern Confederacy. And
this feeling cau not be confined to North
Carolina; it pervades all the Southern
6 ! .stirrsiate Shout'? t ! army in
out of that State, we would unquestionably
soon see Union sentiment developed there.
Suchan indication as this in North Carolina
is encouraging; it stops the mouths of
those who insist upon there being no Union
feeling in any Southern State, and is cal
culated to inspire us with the hope that our
Union is not F.O irredeeme.blo as many de
jected individuals suppose.
GENERALS BUTLER AND
PHELPS
These two officers, now in the neigh
borhood of New Orleans, have had a
sprightly correspondence upon the pro
priety of arming the negroes in their lo
cality. Phelps, cur readers will remem
ber, is the same genius who, last winter,
issued a proclamation insulting to the re
ligions sentiments of,tt majority of the peo
ple of Louisiana. This was his mode
then of subduing the rebellion in that
quarter. He now, upon his own motion,
proceeds to organize negro companies,
and his doing so gives rise to the corres
pondence referred to. Negroes who were
needed for wood chopping Phelps wished
to make soldiers of, but Butler wouldn't al
low him that luxury , ordering him to em
ploy them in cutting down trees which
stood iu the way of the operations of our
gunboats. Phelps grew indignant at this
order, and wrote hack that he would not
become a slave driver,. after the simpleton
coveting the position of slave leader, and
offered to resign. But here Butler again
filed to gratify his longings for becoming
an abolition martyr, by not accepting his
resignation. So that Phelps will not
be permitted to indulge in the much cov
eted employment of leading a colored reg
iment; they arc reserved for other pur
poses, much to the mortification of the
silly General Phelps.
GEN. ItIeCLELLAN.
There is not a man, or a newspaper, in
whole length and breadth of the free
Staten, sympathizing with secession, and
wishing it success, but what is ulso.strong
ly in favor of Gen. McClellan. This is the
fact, patent to everybody . The country
must and will judge What's the proper in=
femme from such a fitet as this.—pito,

Sianghter Mountain.
Tur. CORRESPONDENT of the Ribune, At
the, scene of the battle writes as follows:
Gen.&or, himself severely wounded,
sSe this. morning, in terms of highest
coniinentletiool of the conduct of his entire
.ditision,*l lour correspondent.. lie gave
as his opiiiion" that if Gen. Banks had
been promptly reinforced by the thousands
within a short distance,. the result cf the
battle would hare been very different.
The division of Gen. Rickets remained
within sound of the battle three hours and
did not move an inch. Not, however, he
t:rmie the general commanding did not
desire to take part in the enDtgement, for
all this time himself and his generals were
under the curb of a superior general, and
that general still awaiting the orders of
his superior. Gens. Rickets, Elartsuff
and Prince would gladly have been in the
thickestot the fight, but having been offi
cers in the regular army, they were too
much accustomed to its peculiar decipline
to march to the relief of Gun. Banks with
ciut orders.
The only batteries engaged iu the fight
were the Fourth and Sixth Maine Knapp's
and Best's. Best lost one gun, twenty
seven horses, and about one-third of his
men, Knapp lost two caissons, and seven
wounded. Every battery fought until
every pound of anamition was esliamded.
Within three miles of thu battle field wore
eight or ten batteries, apparently doing
nothing but moving backwards over a hilt
to the right of the Orange road. Why
only four batteries were left to fight against
seven, when so many more were within so
short a distance, your correspondent is
unable to comprehend.
Between Culpepper and the battle-Geld
we had artillery enough to have blown
Slaughter Mountain from its base, but by
the superior skill of some one only four
batteries were brought into play. Indeed
so great an amount of artillery was con -
stantly moving on the roads that it seemed
as if the Army of Virginia was composed
of artillery and nothing else. The pozi.
tion chosen by Jackson was an admirable
one. The mountain, defended as it was
by seven batteries, was impregnable to
the force brought against it. The rising
ground to the right of the mountain al
forded perfect shelter to vast masses of in
fantry, which could be poured upon us at
any moment.
The position of our array on the battle
field could not have been worse. The
enemy had every advantage, *in position
and numbers, and were therefore sus
coastal. Yes, I say successful, although
official reports will probably announce a
victory. Gen. Banks. however, covered
himself with glory. There is not a man
living who could have managed his men
with more skill under the same circum
stances. He was constantly in the thicket 4
of the fight, and shared all the dungen; of
the common soloier. His brave little
army was sacrificed for want of reinf or o o
ments—uothing else.
From the New York World.
Can the American People Bear the
Truth.
When, for sufficient ,or i; - ,r tesunieient!
reasons, the government undertakes to
supervise the whole business of tarnishing
news respecting the war, it and its egents
have only two courses legitimately open
to them; they may conceal the truth. or,
if they think it consistent with the public
interest, they may tell the truth. Rut they
cannot invert the truth. They have no
right to garble it, exaggerate it, nor in auy
way distort,gild or einbelish it. The
country, indeed, prefers good news toleel ;
but that is no reason why it should be fed
with pleasant falsehoods. The announce
ment of victories reflects lustre on the
government, but that does not justify the
government anents in creating victories by
the pen which hare not been won by the
sword. We must have the manliness to
accept of unvarnished fitcts. We can re•
lain neither self-respect nor the respect ot
the world if we encourage the government
'to practice on our credulity, and entertain
us with fictitious or embellished achieve
meats.
The reports transmitted by telegraph of
the severe battle at Cedar Mountain bore
such obvious internal marks of having
been doctored to produce an agreeable
illusion that we thought it our duty to
frankly state our opinion that the result
of Saturday's fighting was net a victory. --
The ordinary way ofjudging is to consider
that army victorious which holds posses
sion of the field at the mid of the battle.—
We did not hold the field, but retired from
it, leaving upon it our dead unburied a n d
four hundred wounded uneared fur during
the whole of the day Sunday, and on Mon
day until the rebel general permitted us to
take them away. While, by the enemy;a
permission, we were thus engaged, he
took the opportunity to commence an un
perceived retreat, and, by daylight the
next morning, he was safely across the
Rapidan, except apart of his rear guard.
An Article to Road To•day.
The following article. from the Boston
Journal, is to the point, and strikes with
fore . Young wen, read it:
THE GRAND OPPOUTGNITS..
We often think, us we look on the mul
titudes of hale young men, without fami
lies, who are thronging oar streets and
tilling up every place of amusement,
whether they are conscious that in reject
ing the invitations to join the army of the
Union, they are letting slip a grand oppor
tunity for which they may feel deep regret
and chagrin hereafter. However they
may have dulled the sensibilities of youth,
their hearts still warm at the memory of
the great ages and actors of the past Can
they read the pages of Bancroft, or Pres
cott, or Motley, Or the stories of the
memorable epochs of England and France,
and not feel the wish that they, too, had
lived in the heroic times when immortal
honor was won? And can they not see
that precisely such times are new passing
around them? Never, in thit history of
this country, at least, were there such
abundant chances for gaining honorable
distinction as are now opened up to every
young man of strong arm and clear head,
and of ambition fit for anything in this
world.
And hereafter, when the Union shall
have risen redeemed and renewed from
this baptism of blood, how will these delin
quents feel? Will they want to rehearse to
their children any of the stirring passages
of this drama which will then have almost
superseded in interest the story of the Rev
olution of '76! "Did you ever see a bat
tie?" "What part of the army were you
21 . y" "Inca I a million of soldiers called
for, and you not go at all—why?" Who
wishes, in his declining years, to face a
battery of such questions? But it is not
alone in domestic circles that the heavy
penalty of present reereancy will have to
be paid. We may be sure that hereafter,
is politics, in business, and in the regards
of the community, a wide distinction will
be drawn, separating from all others the

The Duty of the North.

trite Thu order of General Mc Clellan
carrying out the views of the President in
relation to private property, is a most ad
mirable document. Read the following
paragraph:
"The idea that private property may be
plundered with impunity, is, perhaps, the
very worst that can pervade an army.
Marauding degrades as men and demoral
izes as soldiers all who engage in it, and
returns them to their homes unfitted for
the pursuits of honest industry. This
army is composed mostly of young men ;
and the General commanding, to whose
caro they are entrusted, owes it to the pa
rents who have sent their sons, and to the
communities that have sent out the flower
of their youth into the military service of
the country, to warn and restrain from an
evil so pernicious.
The General Commanding takes this oc-
casion to remind the officers and soldiers
of this army that we are engaged in sup
porting the Constitution and laws of the
United States, and in suppressing rebel
lion against their authority; that we are
not engaged in a war of rapine, revenge
or subjugation; that this is not a contest
against populations, butagainst armed
forces and political organizations; that it
is a struggle carried on within the United
States, and should be conducted by us
upon the highest principles known to
Christian civilization.

all captured officers from Pope's division

kind of association with other Union pris
oners or officers, and seem downcast at
the prospect before them- ft says that the
battle of Saturday was fought by por
tions only of the divisions of Generals
Garland and Ewell and a brigade under
Gen. C. R. Winder, and claims the capture
of 300 Union prisoners, including thirty
commissioned officers. On Saturday I
night Gen. A. H. Hill's Division came up
and was engaged in the fight until the.
Union forces had retired a distance
of five miles. The Dispatch also
says that during the engagement
which was desperate. Gen. C. S. Wind;-r
was shot in the breast and died instainly.
It does not announce the death of General
Trumbull. It claims a victory, and alleges
that the retirement of the Confederates
from the field was voluntary. It says the
enemy's loss was large, and that the Con
federates
suffered severely; but it does not
give any number.
CuteAfm, A ugust special dispatch

to the number'of three thousand.
A movement was made in front by Ste
venson, while General Burton gained the
rear by forced marches, and surrounded
the Federal forces. A desperate fight of
four hours ensued, terminating in the sur
render of the Federals. They were driven
by superior numbers in front, and when in
full retreat were assailed by a flunking
force.
The rebels are thus in possess:ion of
East Tennessee again. The next move
will be on Buell, with overwhelming force.

HARRISBURG, August 15.—The 1210
regiment left here last evening, and a-ill.

in the field. Two other regiments left to
day, and one goes this evening, making
four regiments within twenty-four hours.
Others .are being, rapidly organized, and
will go forward at once. The utmost ac

departments. The city is crowded with
soldiers and civilians from all quarters of
the State. Col. Wistar's Bucktail, and
Colonel Dorran's regiments have been ac
cepted by the Governor, and are entitled
and will receive the same bounties as have
been paid to other accepted regiments.
