John Van Buren stood fair in So ern estimation, until he talked of a ~. 1 - pos ible reunion, by negotiation, between the c ontending sections. Upon that an non cement the Richmond press informed him 'very plainly,that no reunion was pos sible; that the South would be satisfied whit nothing else than the complete and absitlute independence of the. Southern Co4ederaey, including all the territory claiffied by her at the commencement of hostalitieodr.

It, aa the alternative presented by the l ir Sou ern organs. And, since Van Buren has eased to make peace propositions to the, ebels he has been treated by their or gan with comparative courtesy. This lb pro us, to oar mind, that the success of the Democratic party in the 'free States is what the rebel government, at the present 'tim most dreads; because they know tha , our party would leave uo expedient 1 , =Med calculated to bring about a resdiration of the 'Union.

The people otithe*tern portion of our State% were ilt*ed, ofi'Friday last, by the falsest - sort otiAtindei 'skit from Berke coUnty 'and ptiblished in the Philadelphia patters, `revealing the existence of a secret • aometyiiiumberitig. no Jess - than two mil lions of traitors. Dotift be startled, only two millions. The purpose of this formid able organization was and is to "resist the laws, abduct Abraham Lincoln, and estab lish a North-western Confederacy." At least these -were the objects of it, as re ported by one Lyon, a government de tective. It appears that a parcel of the Germans of a township in Berke county joined . ..a society which some sharpers .made them believe was intended to relieve them of the draft, the initiation fee to which was a single dollar. The acute detective, hear ing of this, went to work to probe the thing to the bottom, which he did. He swears that he hid himself milder some loose straw in the barn in which these conspirators assembled, and heard all their arrangements from his lurking place. The account of the adven ture is somewhat interesting, and makes up in romance, or rather downright lying, what it wants in truth. The first thing attended to by these "Berke county traitors" was to put out pickets to protect their secret meetings ; the next move was to use " pitch-forks" in tossing the straw in the barn to see if any one had ensconced himself there; and notwithstanding these precautionarymca auras to secure secrecy and security, this man Lyon eluded the vigilance of them all, and defied both their pickets and their pitch-forks. This is better than Falstaff's encounter with the men in buckram, or the glowing account he' renders of his hour's light with Hotspur, by • Sherwsbury clock. The fat knight, after his imaginary killing of the gallant. Hotspur, claims to be made a Duke or an Earl at least; Lyon ought not, after his exploit to accept for his services and sacritices.anything lees than a Major Gen eral's commission. Mrs. Swisshelm, who for two years abused Mrs. Lincoln in her scurrilous style, repented the other day and said that the lady of the White House was •'prettier than a pink," and immedi ately she received the informatiem of her appointment to a nice little sinecure in the War Department, affording pickings to the amount of a thousand dollars per -an num. It is unnecessary to inform tio people of this city that our old acquain ante ituruedtately signified her intentio of accepting the Proffered ruiition. Jan haiing been so handseinaly rewarded for a few flourishes of the pen. Lyon ought not to be put off with mere brown bread and cheese parings. Imagine what that intrepid individual has accomplished. Be has discovered a secret oath bound association Lam bering the fearful number of "two mil lions;" think of tnat,".Master Modus." Be heard' distinctly, from his place, so deep beneath the straw,that pitch-forks could'ut reach him, the intention of the sixty four Germans 'present in the bar, to absolute ly: abduct Abraham Lincoln. This, we suppose, was for the purpose of making a place for that fierce abolitionist, Hamlin. the Vice President. Dm hear such stuff as this, and yet the aboli tition papers are making as much fuss about it as if they had discovered a Guy PaWkes train of gunpowder, intended to blow up the entire government. Since President Lincoln reached Washington in safety, previous to, his inauguration, there has been no danger of his abduction, or andication,except once, and that was when the Abolition Governors and others com pelled him to accept their Programme, or retire in favor of Hamlin, who world do their bidding. Rather than retire to - Springfield so soon he signed the condi tions, which were to issue his emancipa tion proclamation, to dismiss McClellan, and allow them to henceforth conduct the war to snit their own purposes. Tourniquets Aprit Bth, 1863. MR. EDITOR :—Tourniquet,(Tournittuet, Fr.) In surgery au instrument mado o rollers, compresses, screws, S:c., for com pressing any wourded part so as to stop haemorrhages. The common Tourniquet is very simple, consisting otf a roller, which, with the help of aam tick, serves to stop the effusion of blood from large arteries, in amputation, by forcibly tying- up the limb- The things required in this operation are' a roller of a thumb's breadth and of an ell in length, a small cylindrical stick, a conglomerated bandage two fingers thick and fonr long; some compresses of a good length and about three or four fingers breadth, to surround the legs and arms, and a square piece of strong paper or leather, stout, four fingers wide. By the British regulations, published in 1799, for the better management of the sick in regi mental hospitals, every Surgeon and As sistant Surgeon is directed to have, among other surgical instruments, a certain num ber of. tourniquets, and sergeants, &c., are to be taught the method of using it. In May. 1798, two tourniquets were di• rected to be sent to each English regi ment, thO rest are to be made by the men of the regiments, and besides one to each person who will be taught the use of it; it is necessary to have four for every hun • dreg men. The noncommissioned officers, band and drummers of every regiment are to be taught the manner tif applying it ac eording to instructions sent down from the Surgeon General's Department. N. B. I find the above in my Military Dictionary.

How Women South Get Food The Atlanta (Georgia papers state that a few days ago some fifteen or twenty wo men, residents of that city, all decntly dressed, collected together on one of the principal streets and made an impressment of about two hundred pounds of bacon belonging to private parties. Thqy did it in a quint, yet bold and determinal man ner, one of them quietly taking out a Colt's revorver, and standing guard, while the others removed the bacon: They first of fered to buy it at the prices the govern ment is paying, but finding the holder un willing to sell at such rates, announced their determination to seize it, which de termination they resolutely carried out.-- They aro soldiers' wives, who had families to support. Rebel Trade on the Rio Grande. In addition to the particulars as to the trade with the rebels along the Rio tlrande, we find in they New Orleans Era, of the Ist instant a statement that a train of six hundred carts, loaded with cotton, was on the :nth ultimo.on its way to Brownsville, Texas. These loads averaged about six bales each, and probably conveyed not less than thirty•tive hundred bales of obi.. ton. This would be exchanged for war like steres, blankets, ammunition, &c., which would he carried back by the same train. Feeding Soldiers' Families A. I"niun meeting held at Richmond, in Wayne_ county, Indiana, was attended by the farmt•re of the surrounding country, with a train of wagons over seven-eighths of a mile in length, loaded with wood, dour, meal, beef, poultry, and pr,visions and delicacies, as a voluntary Lion to the families of soldiers now in the field. The value of the articles contribu Led was estimated at between thirteen and fourteen hundred dollars.

LATEST NEWS „By. TE.tiutiou. The Fight at ohax.leston, DETAILS OF TH2 ENGAGEMENT. The Iron-Clads Unable to &std. the Furls, Gen. Hunter and Admiral Du pont's Correspondence. BAT.TIMORE, April 12.—The gunboat Flambeau arrived at Old Point on Satur day afternoon, bringing with her the off' , cars of the iron-clad Keokuk, which was disQd off Charicston,And sunk the next day. From participants in the battle we gath er the following particulars : The fleet, after leaving Hilton Head, rennezvonsed in the mouth of Edisto, and several days were occupied in gathering! the vessels together, making final arrange ments, issuing orders, and arranging for the attack. All being completed, the fleet left in detachments, and assembled off Charleston on Sunday, the sth inst. The iron-clad fleet crossed the bar and entered ! Charleston harbor on Monday. The Keo kuk, drawing less water than auy of the others, was sent in first, to find the chan• net and replace the buoys. Proceedirg up the main channel, she found easy and unobatructid entrance with full eighteen feet of water in the shallow• est places, more than has everbeen before found on that bar. The buoys were re placed without difficulty , the rebels offer ing no opposition. 'I - he; Keokuk returned to the fleet., and on the morning, of the 7th an order was given Jor the iron clads to enter the harbor. The order was to pro• ceed in single file. l'he Weehawken was the leadiug, vessel. having in front of her a scow, and when between her and the scow the Eriesson's torpedo or devil, as it has been called, ex Plotted. The Ironsides, having .on board Admiral Dupont., was fifth i n title, and the Keokuk last. In this the liar was passed in safety without_ tention.— The Ironsides stopped off hurt !granule and let go her anchor, it being dangerous to take her further up on account of her drawing Over fifteen feet of water. At this moment there was a temporary tnisunderstaeding, and all the iron clads except the Weehawken and Keokuk gath ered about the Ironsides,apparently think ing she needed assistance. They wers, however, soon signalled to go into action. The Keokuk kept on until she led the line, nod had advanced to within four hundred yards of Sumter, against whose grzinite walls she hurled her heavy shot with all the rapidity that the energy of tier brave crew could command. The rebels, as expected, immediately concentrated their tire on the Keokuk, which assumed to lead in the attack.— From Forts Sumter and Moultrie, battery Beauregard, the bro s teries on Cumming's Point, and from a fort erected on middle ground, the fire of four or five hundred guns concentrated in terrible hail upon the devoted vessel. Such a tire had, per hank never in the history of the world been equalled. It was met by the officers of the Keokuk with heroic fortitude.— , Whilst balls were striking her at the rate of one for every second, her guns were work ed with vigor and. precision, and their weight and force were already making their marks upon the walls. It soon,how ever, became apparent- that the Keokuk had none ut the impreg - tiability of Erics son's rnoriture, and that in fact as an iron-clad she was a failure. The rebel balls seemed to penetrate her as easily as a wooden vessel: The port holes or shut ters-of her ports became jammed and her gums practic ally unserviceable. During the thirty minutes she remained, one hundred shot struck her. Her flag was shot into tatters, and her whole side battered, bruised and pierced. Perceiv ing the severe injuries she had received, the Admiral signalled her to retire out of action and anchor beyond range. This was safely accomplished. In the meantime the Monitors Nahant and Catskill moved up to support the Keokuk and engaged Fort. Sumter, the Ironsidiet and other ,vessels at longer range dividing their attention between Moultrie and Sumter. Into and on the latter fort a heavy fire was thus poured, and it is believed not without effect. The engagement lasted from one till four o'clock, when Admiral Dupont signalled, and the fleet retired slowly, receiving and returning the rebel fire until they anchored out of range within the bar. The Weehawken was assigned an im portant duty, which was faithfully perform ed in the midst of the fight, viz : To ex amine and if possible to fire the obstruc tions which the rebels had extended across the harbor from Sumter to Moultrie.— Preceded by a scow and the devil in front of her, she pushed up straight towards the obstructions. They were found to consist of a network of chains and cables, stretched across the harbor, over which it was impossible for the Weehawken to run without fouling the propeller, and which it was found impossible to force. The rebels are supposed to have attached to this network torpedoes and other subma rine explosives. Having completed the examination and tested the impossibility of working up the harbor until means were devised for the removal of these obstruc tions' the Weehawken returned and re ported to Admiral Dupont, who ordered a discontinuance of the conflict. It is believed that the damage to Fort Sumter by our fire was serious, so far as it showed externally. It consisted of two embrasures being knocked into one, and numerous indentations in the wall, which it is believed a few hours more would have converted into a serious breach. What damage and loss of life was sustained in the interior of the fort is not of course known, but it was supposed to have bean considerable. Fort Moultrie was also welt hammered, and at least one gun dismount ed. Beyond the sinking of the Keokuk, the damage to the iron -clads was very slight, not more than would require twen ty-four hours to repair. The Ironsides was hit freouently,but ex cept having one port butter injured, was unharmed. Oar informant heard of no serious casualties except that of Keokuk. This vessel sunk next morning about one thousand yards from Morris Island beach. She had thirteen wounded, two of - whom, including, acting ensign Mclntosh, Will probably die, The Devil was not lost, as stated by the rebel dispatches. When the Weehawken returned from the reconnoisance of ob- J. It. OLDuirs structions, the scow she had in tow broke loose end grounded on Morris Island. The rebels, thinking it a dangerous affair, peppered away at it believing it was the Devil or something worse, but our inform ant assured us that the Devil was safe and will yet be made use of against the rebels. The affair summed' up is this: We have entered the harbor, made a !successful re- counoisance, engaged the rebel forts for three hours, damaged Sumter ,seriously, lost one vessel, and have increased and convincing proof of the invulnerability of the Monitor fleet. The above is made up from an interest ing account furnished to the Baltimore ;American by an eye-witness, who w AB i n the fight- An'other Aicount.

It had to assail, While the limitations of the offensive pow ers of iron•cladEftetik'away all advantage' The result of the reconnoissance proves the utter insufficiency, of our iron clad fleet to take Charleston without assistance. The Nahant received thirty wounds several being bad fractures of her deck and sides, below and above her water line. The most fatal blowmas by a heai7 rifle shot, which struck her pilot house anddis lodged several bolts, wounding all the in mates. The Passaic received twentyfive or thirty rounds, the most extraordinary shot was from a 10-inch rifled projectile, which struck the top of the turret and scooped out a huge portion of iron, breaking all - of the eleven plates of an inch thickness each, and spending its fury on the - pilot house on the top of the turret-, on 'Which it made a crater three inches deep and raising the pilot house three inches.— Another shot hit the turret, forcing a plate and striking upward, the carriage of a 11 inch gun was disabled by the shock, while a portion of the interior iron casing fell, and lodging in the groove of the turret, stopped its revolution. Ihe Nantucket had her turret so badly jarred that the cover of her porihole - conld not be opened, and consequently her 10 inch gun could not be used. The other Monitors received more or less shots, but were not disabled. Still Another Account. The New York Tribune's special cor respondent says the Ironsides was hit from fifty to sixty times without material dam age. The enemy used only shot of the heaviest calibre. The most destructive of their missiles were of English manufac ture, principally Whitworth's steel-point ed projectiles. Eleven large holes, appa rently runnti4 through the walls, some of which were about three feet wide, were made on the East face of Fort Sumter, showing that our fire was not altogether ineffectual. The Monitors fired altogether abcint one hundred and fifty rounds. The numeri cal weakness of the land force rendered their direct cooperation in the attack im practicable, and upon the navy devolved the main share of the work, and all the lighting was doue by it alone. Correspondence Between Gen. Hunter and Admiral Dupont. . The following correspondence between Gen. Hunter and Admiral Dupont has taken place since the close of the action: Headquarters of the South, U. S. Trans : port Ben Deford, April tt l363,—Admi ral S. F. : Dupont, Flag Ship New lion sides, off Fort Sumter—Admiral : Not knowing yet what have been the results of your attack of yesterday, so far as Fort Sumter is concerned, I cannot but con gratulate you upon the magnificent man ner in which the vessels under your: com• I mend were fought. A mere spectator, I could do nothing but pray for you, which; believe me, I did most heartily, for you and for all the gallant men'.under your command, who sailed so calmly and fear lessly into and under and through a con centric fire, which has heretofore never had a parallel in the history of warfare. . 'That you are uninjured, and so many of the vessels ot your command fit for ser vice is a cause of deep gratitude to Al mighty God. I confess, when the Wee hawken first ran under Sumter's guns, re-. ceiving the casemate and barbette broad sides from that work, simultaneously with' the similar broadsides from Fort Moultrie and all the other works within range, I fairly held my breath until the smoke had cleared away, not expecting to see a ves• tige of the little vessel which had provoked such an attack. With each of • the others the same scene was re•enacted. My interest in the fate of the Ironaides was perhaps the keenest from my knowl edge of her comparative vulnerability, and of the deep loss the country would sustain if anything happen to you. Thank God for the results, so far as they go. May He have you in his keeping throne) whatever chances are yet before you. No country can ever fail that has men capable of suf fering what your iron-clads had yesterday to endure. God bless you, and keep you safe, Admiral, and believe me, with the highest esteem. • I). HUNTER, Maj. Gen. FLAG SHIP lIiONSIDES, CHARLESTON HARBOR, N. C., April 8, 7863.—GENRam.: 1 am this moment in receipt of your most gratifying letter of this date. It did not, h ow ever, require this to satisfy me of your deep sympathy in our operations ot yes terday, intensified by the fact that circum stances beyond your control prevented that which of all things you would most have desired, an immediate and active co operation. I shall have your letter read in every ironclad in the i tleet, so that every man under my command shall know what has long been' familiar to me, the heart-felt sympathy of the commanding General of the army of the Department of the South.
