In Harrisburg, the other day, they ran a
regular Democrat, merely because they
desired the defeat of the Democratic et.—
ganization. In Cincinnati they nominn 7
ted four Democrats out of twelve,while in
Chicago they placed at the head of their
municipal ticket Mr. Bryan, a "Douglas
Democrat." To defeat the regular orgarti
ration of the Deinocratic party, aided as
it is by old whigs and conservatives; is the
the business to which abolitionism is, at
present, devoting the utmost teachings of
its soul. _

Have L Leagues been established for
no other object than to support the Con

Constitution demand an oath from the
native born citizen before he can exercise
his rights.? or, has it ever been deemed
necassary, to take an oath to establish the

General McClellan at West Point.
WEST POINT, April ]s.
:The Corps of Cadets were permitted to
dalttiexpress to General George B. Mc-
Clellan in person their universal and ear
nest appreciation of his ability as a gen
eral and Soldier, and the value they attach
to, aspersions and slurs which have re
ceived, a deserved answer in his silent
contempt. A serenade by the post band
to, himself and lady, was accompanied by
the presentation of the officers of the aca•
demy, Many of whom had fought and bled
under his leadership, a privilege envied by
WI all, and one we yet hope for. Later in
the evening the whole corps proceeded to
the hotel, where a band of amateurs per
forme some military airs, including
"Benny Havens," with a new verse in his
honor. The cheers that greeted this al
lusion, and the call for "theree cheers for
`Little Mac' on his appearance were en
thusiastic beyond description. There
seemed to be no end to them, for hardly
had one round ceased before it was suc
ceeded by another that made the first seem
a whisper.. Actual loss of voice and ade
sire to hear the general speak at last pro
duced a dead silence, which was broken
by a few sentiments like those of his dis
patches, models of Napoleonic eloquence.
At the close of his address the crowd re
luctantly dispersed ; but had the pleasure
of again seeing him in the Cadetman Hall
at dinner the following day. At their re
quest he came, and was received by the
:corps standing and in silence. On leav
ing the hall each member shook hands
with him, and many expressed such senti
mentp as only warm hearts can give to a
true so'dier and modest gentleman.
In the evening General McClellan was
waited on by a deputation from Butter
milk Falls, followed by one from Cold
Springs, the members of which broke the
usual reverencelfor the Lord's Day by eon
tinned cheering.

WASHINGTON, April 21.
.The War in the 'Southwest—Army Move
ments on the Rappahannock —The At
tack on Charleston—Contraband Corn •
merce through Mexico, etc.
- The Navy Department has intelligence
that a portion of Admiral Porter's gun
b.ciat fleet has passed Vicksburg in safety
—thns relieving Farragut and completing
ths blockade of the river. Mach_import
ance is attached to this movement by the
Navy Department.
The President and General Halleck had
an interview the other day with General
Hooker at Acquia. The Northern papers
are in error as to their statement of army
movements. Those which they relate
have not occurred.
It is known here, and may be stated as
no secret, that Admiral Dupont acted un
der no direct order in his attack upon
Sumter, etc. Everything was left to his
discretlon. The same is the case in re
gard to General Hooker and his move
ments.
It is believed that the commerce which
inist4rir'stetes 'and Mexico is extensive
and increasing. It affords already, through
the town of Matamoras, a great outlet for
Southern products, and a means for South
ern supply withrovisions, munitions of
war, foreign gold, &c. Matamoras appears
likely to become, for the remainder of the
war, a great depot and entreport of South
ern trade. It is noticeable that the Federal
government is called upon, in some quar
ters, to suppress this trade which is so
active upon our borders. It appears that
Brownsville is occupied by the Texans,
and that no adequate measures have yet
been taken to complete the blockade of
the Rio Grande. Measures to this end
have, however, been taken, as is now re
ported.
In all modern wars it bas been found
difficult, or rather impossible, to suppress
commerce by laws or by force. Napoleon
failed to carry into effect his continental
system. It has been seen, in our existing
war, that profitable trade with the enemy
is carried on in spite of law and army reg
alations.
The city appears to have lost mach of
its floating and transient population of

From the N. V. Herald,
The Famou,s Order Number Eight.
We have come into possession, in a very
mysterious manner, of a document pur
porting to be a copy of General Burnside's
famous Order No. 8, referred to so prom.
inently in the report of the Congressional
CoMmittee on the Conduct of the War.—
There is somethirg exceedingly strange in
the whole affair, and nothing stranger in
any part of, it than in the mode of our
coming into possession of the document.
Where did it come from ? Who knows ?
It may be that Senator Wade, who is said
to be quite a good sort of person in his j
social interconroe, has taken this mode of
supplying what has been regarded as a hi
atus in th 6 history of the war. It may be
that. Secretary Stanton, in some of the
leisure moments that he permits himself
to enjoy, in the intermission of his labors,
has thought proper to furnish it to us. Or
iituay even be that it has come from some I
of the radicals, who wished to see the fa
nious order-printed in a good Union news•
paper. But, from -whatever quarter it
came, here is the document

Our first impulse after reading this fki•
ental mandate was to see whether there
was anything in the report of the Com
mittee or the Conduct of the War tending
to lend to it some evidence of authentici
ty ; for we could hardly. believe that any
of our generals, more especially one with
the reputation for modesty of General
Burnside, could have penned such an or
der. But sure enough, that report we
found to furnish evidence not only of the
probability, but of the almost absolute
certainty that the document is an authen
tic one ; for, in reference to the opera
tions of the Army of the Rappahannock,
the report contains the following - curious
statement :
General Burnside states that, besides
the inclemency of the weather, there was
another powerful reason for abandoning
the movement—viz : the almost universal
feeling amongst his general officers against
it. Some of those officers freely gave vent
to their feelings in the presence of inferiors.
In consequence of this, and also what
had taken piece during the battle of Fred
ericksburg, &c. General Burnside di
rected on order to be issued which he stil
ed General Order No H. 7'liat order dis•
missed some officers
_iron? the service, sub•
jeel to the approval of the President, re
lieved others from duty with the Army of
tho Potomac, and also pronounced sen
t. nee of death upon some deserters who
ba i been tried and convicted. * The
order was duly signed and issued, and
only waited publication. * * He (Gen.
Burnside) wag informed that the President
declined to approve his Order No. 8, but
had concluded to relisve him from the
command of the Army of the Potomac
and appoint Gen. Hooker in his place.

LETTER FROM THE ARMY
Tiow Political Resolutions, 'Endorsing'
Old Alkaloid Denouncing Democrats.
are Got up nud Pitt Through in the
Army.
The following is from a reliable source,
and entire confidence may be placed in
what the writer states:
113lith REQ. Pa. VC,I.V2siTEERS,
G I.OIT ESTER POINT, VA., April 18th.
Editors Patriot and Union :
I have seen in the Abolition papers at
the North a great fuss made in regard to
the resolutions said to be passed by the
different regiments in the field from our
State, denouncing the Democratic party
as traitorous, giving its members the
epithet of "Copperheads" and lauding
"Father Abraham" and his co-working
Abolitionists to the skies- lam a member
of the 169th, and will tell you how they
managed to pass those resolutions in our
regiment. In the first place the acting Col.
Lieut. Col., Major s and a majority.of the
Captains are Abolitionists. Well, they as
semble together in secret conclave, draw
up the resolutions to suit themselves, get
all the Abolitionists to sign them first, and
then try to scare the Democratic officers by
threatening to discharge them from the
service without pay, and call all those whe
refuse traitors, etc. There are some, how
ever, who, notwithstanding all this, have
refused to endore them. What will be their
fate I know not.
Union for the Union.
"Most certainly," says the Louisville
Journal, "we are not Democrats. We
never pretended to be. We are Whigs.
But we-now stand on the very same plat
form with the Northern Democracy."—
The great name of James Guthrie stands
at the head of the State Committee who
act. for the cause which the Louisville Jour
nal advocates. These facts are significant
of the state of parties in Kentucky. Most
certainly James Guthrie is a true Demo
crat, if there ever was one. There is a
platform in Kentucky, broad enough to
hold loyal men of this stamp, and old
Whigs ; and this platform, the Louisville
Journal affirms, is that of the Northern
Democracy. The facts will admit of a
wider application.
Death or an Artist
Augustus Egg, one of the foremos •
among the Royal Academicians of Eng
land. died at Algiers on the 26th of March.
His first pictures were exhibited in 1838,
and his "Gil Bias Exchanging Rings with
Camilla" was Produced in 1844. In 1850
ho executed what is generally considered'
his best picture, "Peter the Great Meet
ing Catharine." In 1857 Mr. Egg was
selected to arrange the gallery of modern
paintings at the Manchester exhibition ;
and in 1869 exhibited at the Royal Acade•
my a Triology which wes highly spoken
of, and in the same year a subject from
Taickeray'B "Esmond." He was - genet ,

day in the Cainpagna, in the vicinity of - the
Clandian Acryueduct, about four miles
from Rome. Miss Harriet Hosmer, the
celebrated American sculptress, had dial
challenged Mr. Spiers, an English gen
tleman, and the spirited master of
the hounds, (not a numerrous pack.)
to ride a steeple chase match. The.
event came off in presence of i 3 pretty
numerous fieldlof British, Americans and
sporting Roman spectators. Miss Hoemer
rode well, and took all her leaps, stone
walls, rails and hurdles very pluckily, and
led until near the winning post•; when Mr.

Some other steeple chases and flat races
followed, with plenty of wills but no severe
fairs.
Spy Shot
A few days ago a sentry on duty at Ma
(len. Stanley's headquarters shot a rebel
spy as he was endeavoring to escape thro'
our lines near Franklin, Tenn. The spy
was first challenged, and, having twice dis
regarded the order to "halt," the sentinel
took deliberate aim and killed the unhappy
victim at the first shot. He was recognized
as an individual who had been lurking
around the camp for several days, in the
vocation of a songster, reciting patriotic
airs for the soldiers, and receiving small
sums of money for his trouble. He was
detected, arrested, and thrown into prison,
when he made hie escape, and was going
out of the lines when he was shot. After
his death his body was searched by the
guards. Inside his boots, and between
his feet and stockings, were found skilful
Iy-drawn plans of the Federal fortifica
tions, the strength of their armament, and
correct details of the organization of this
army, number of forces, &c. Had this
