DAILY POST. The Union as it was; The Constitution as it isl ar See First and Third Pave for Coin• mereLai Doily . Markets and River News MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 8. T Ef.E LONE - STAR OP TEXAS. The right of - secess'on is about to have a hearing in the house of its friends ; a re• port has reached our government by way of Matamoras, announcing that Gen. Sam Houston is about to take the stump for Governor of Texas—his platform fitting the "Lone Star," or an entire independ ence of both our and the rebel govern. went. The reputed hero of San Jacinto and the freedom of Texas is about to un• dertake its second independence. Should he succeed in being elected Governor Of his State (and if he runs he will be) and should he carry a Legislature entertaining his views in relation to establishing an in dependent government, sve do not see how the confederates can offer the slightest ob jection. An ordinance of secession, with drawing from the Southern Confederacy, will be sufficient, according to secession doctrine, to estriiiish the independence of Texas. General Houston will the President of Tex as at the time of its annexation to the United States. Upon ifs incorporation as one of our family he was elected to the United States Senate from the day he took his seat in that body, until he left it, •he was, at all times, with Col. Benton, the vigilant and heroic champion of the Union and the determined foe of the extreme school of Southern politicians and states men. A disciple of Gen. Jackson, his am• bition was like that of hie great leader to see the Union perpetual. When the Southern rebellion broke out Gen. Houston was Governor of his State ; he resisted the encroachments of the reb els successfully, as long as our Adminis tration gave him a chance to do so. Bat in an evil hour our President gave way to the radicals, and his signing the confisca- tion act by Congress, and issuing his emancipation proclamation, at once pros trated the Union men, not only in Texas, but throughout the South. These acts united the Southern people, and Sam Houston, in order to save himself, took the cath of allegiance to the Sombein usurpation. Should Gen. Houston succeed in his contemplated enterprise—the carving out of an Empire for himself, it will give rise to the dismission of some nice points, not suggested by any other state in rebellion. Texas by revolution, in which the United States assisted, won her independence of Mexico, against whose government she re belled. Our government, as well as those of England and France, acknowledged her independence and welcomed her into i the family of nations. Afterwards she exercised the sovereign prerogative, in defiance of threats from both France and England to throw off her independent national sovereignty to becme the young est sister of our young Republic. This was in 1845, and but two years after the United States went to war with Mexico, because of the latter's invasion of 1. dis puted strip of territory, not being "con tinent and tomb enough to hide the slain." The United States did all this in vindica cation of a principle, and that was Texas' right of independence because of revolu tion, and also her right to fix her own boundary after her independence was achieved. But Gen. Houston and his rev olutionary Legislature must not forget that, although we did all this for Texas, we did some more. She got ten millions of money, ace that in annexing we purchas ed her, just as Jefferson did - Louisiana, or President Polk did California. We claim Texas, therefore, as being ours by pur chase, and upon this plea we shall deny her right to again set np for herself. The rebellions Government of Davis, canirnot object to her exercising a right which they are sacrificing so much to vindicate, lit cause Texas has far more reason for her secession from them, than they have from the parent power. Bat with the United States it is far differen, General Houstonis a remarkably shrewd observer, and this new move of hie Clearly indicates the waning fortunes of tbeflonth ern cause in Texas. If his desire is to throw of the thraldom of Jeff. Davis our Government should give him every encour agement ; but if his intention is to really establish an independent power, then the sooner our Administration arouses itself to the magnitude of the tftidertaking the bet .ter. France and England having °new acknowledged the independence of Texas may do so again. Our Administration will therefore perceive that here is anoth er new -question, serious enough to engage its attention. Let it then for a while, at least, turn its thoughts to the reclamation of States, and not the arrest of persons; let it see that Bam - Ifoniton lives up to the terms of Texas' annexation, and not waste its great powers in suppressing free speech and the liberty of the press, GEN. HUNTER. This frothy military humbug, whose performances for a year back have made him ridiculous, is thus disposed of by the Albany Evening Journal, a paper in the interests of Mr. Seward : administration of the 'artment of the South' hns been a signal failure s N toot onlybas ht. do ne nothing against the enemy, but he has man aged to quarrel -with _pretty much everybody with whom to has had. offictal intercourse.

Burnside who suppressed the circu hidden of the New York World in his de• partment,is said to be delighted with Gree• ley'sluenbrations. A line of cautious die sent from the policy of the Administra. tion by a Democratic paper, calls forth an order from Burnside suppressing it , but an abolition paper it seems is allowed to enjoy and practice the largest liberty. THE GREAT STRUGGLE. IN THE SOUTHWEST. The public pulse still vibrates between hope and fear for oar armies in the South west; but we do not believe we shall fail. Everything up to this time satisfies us that we have.the men and the means to gain a great victory, and the Generals in command who will ensure it. The longer the fall of Vicksburg is delayed, the more fatal we believe it will be for the rebels, because the efforts to relieve it will con centrate their forces and involve them in in the disaster which is certain to over whelm that city. We can concentrate a much larger army there than the rebels, and every indication we have assures us that the utmost energy is being used to give Grant all the men and means he can use. We may not hear of the e:,d for some days, but that we shall succeed we Lave no doubt. To suppress thought is to murder the soul. Its immortality is not an insurance against murder. An idiot has a soul, but its natural life is stifled. As the means of judgment' are denied, in that degree is the soul robbed of its true life. As speech is the expression of thought, its freedom is as unlimited and sacred. To gag the last is to fetter the first, for all knowledge not intuitive is acquired from observation and language. To gag men, to mu7,le the press, to some their incapacity to properly .imige of issues directly affecting each, is trampling upon rights Christ held inviolate, for His is a religion of persuasion, and act cl force. It is to treat with contempt the majesty of the soul he died to save—to make a mockery and scoff of privileges purchased and sanctified by his agony and death. Freedom of thought and speech date be yond all constitutions or human ordinances and laws. The safeguards thrown around them by our constitution are but a solemn and august recognition of their a..zful sanc• tity; are but the pledges of the nation's might for their protection, to the rederup Lion of which its officers are sworn. Chicago Times. THE RESERVE FRONTIER GUARD Gov. Curtin has received from the Se cretary of War directions to form a volun teer force of fifteen regiments, of which five will be cavalry, designed, it is under• stood, as a defence of the State border in any contingency of raids. The Governor, we believe,has long desired to organize such a force ; and now, that he is author ized, will make every effort to secure its early completion. We shall, therefore, before vary long, have in the field a valu able reserve force, sufficient for State de fence, and convenient to the General Gov ernment, in case of need. We know, from the lessons of war, what would be the worth of such a standing assurance of safety to both Government and . Stats. So long as the border is poorly guarded, the temptation to invade is held out to the rebels. Bat lately we heard that Lee contemplated a new offensive movement northward; true or not, the rumor has its warning. The example of Pennsylvania might be wisely followed by all of the Bor der States. The rebellion would thus be confined to narrower limits, by the pre sence of a reserve standing force. Gov. Cartin's new enterprise will be bailed with generaleatiefeetion.—Phila. Press.

To Ills Excellency, Abrahf tn Lincoln, President of the Enfeed'Allaleaf' Sic: A very thoughtful and prudent statesman, I think it was Cardinal De Rutz, used to say that is very unwise to get angry at a multitude of people, We might as well get angry with a Mountain that stands in our way. It is much better to accommodate our movements to such obstructions. We might have force enough to go roand the mountain, or to go over it, and thus by means of it increase the force of an attack upon an enemy. Bat force is not the best means of overcoming the opinions, or even the prejudices of a mul titude of peeple. You can win them only by respectful treatment, and not by force. You may by a respectful and rational presentation of arguments, induce a change of opinions of the opposition, or by con ceding to them you may gain all the en ergy that belongs to them for the advance ment of your main purpose. Now, as we all, expect a few extreme men on both sides, agree about the main purpose of the war, it seems strange that we cannot agree to prune the ordinary and constitutional means of effecting it, and to trust each other in doing so. If you will only reject the counsels of your extreme men, we shall have no difficulty in suppressing the icfluence of those who are among us. Your extremes maintain ours. Even enemies must be treated with that degree of respect that will enable us calm ly to study and to understand their case. Contempt of them is only passionate treat ment, and is very apt to be wrong. " De spise no man.' It was thus the Tory British ministry treated us from the begin ning of our revolutionary contest, and therefore they never knew how to deal with the case. Even after some ten years of fruitless attempts to force us, Lord North said " he had no doubt but this dispute would end speedily and happily, and with out bloodshed:" and so it might have been, if he had known how to make any generous and manly concessions. - When the first forces were sent against us, Lord Sandwich, first lord of the admi ral:ty, said that he blew that that force would be fully sufficient to reduce the col onies to obedience, end spoke in the most contemptuous terms of the power and courage of the Americana. And the friends of the administration generally, conteuded " that the boasted union of the colonies would dissolve the moment Parliament should itself resolve on measures of rigor and severity." And Col. Grant declared in Parliament, "that at the head of five regiments of infantry, he would undertake to traverse the whole country, and drive the inhabitants from one end of the conti• neat to the other." You see how ever.• repeat themselves. And much more ought opposition par ties within the State to be treated with respect; for such parties are an inevitable outgrowth uf free institutions, and their assistance is necessary iu times of great national trial. They have often been so rudely treated as to excite them to revoln Lion or relietliom It is never by fc,r,e, but by mental coacession, that opposite parties nre to he brought into united and harmonious action for a command. The Democratic party has conceded much by agreeing to support the Government in thin war, when they thought that it could have been avoided, if the party in power could have granted proper concessions on national principles. We tried to obtain a compromise, and when this failed we conceded tha , , judged by the ordinal.) , action of human passion, this was more than was to be expected from a patty in power, ficidirg its favorite principles re sisted. War seemed the necessary cure for our partisan passions. Ito we then ask too much in asking the C01..c..5.41,” ll'ut thin 'vat ohr , ull.l he Con ducted in accord,tnce with the settled prin ciples of the constitution, and the nia• doubted usages of civilized warfare? This can hardly be called a concession at all ; and yet it i,. refused. Thus opposition is naturally inevitable. The war is in great danger of becoming the war of a faction against the nation and its institutions, rath er than against rebellion. It was much less than this that sustained the opposition party in Great Britain and made it suc cessful, during onrrevolntion when we had Francs and Spain to assist us. That party can be nothing else than a faction, which founds itself on peculiar ideas and unconstitutional principles, and we can have no heart in supporting it.— Come back to the Constitution, and to old settled usages, and we will support you heartily, and, as you will admit, loy ally. especially it you will trust on loyal ground, when we and the army trust, though they be not of your party. You like illustrations, and let me ask you to reflect on one. You know how long it took for the cradle to supersede the sickle in the harvest field, and how bard it has been for the mowing and reaping machine to gain admittance there ; though the skill and power are in the machine, and the farmer is not required to learn big business over again. Old opinions, ha bits and affections do not give way at the will of any ono, and it is this part that gives stability to character. How diffi cult then must it be for a nation or a great party in it to lay aside its opinions and cus toms and its Constitution, in order to for low the fresher ideas of a faction. Such opposition is material, and not disloyal. In ray next, 1 shall refer to some items of the history of loyal opposition parties Very respectfully yours, Important Froject in Canada We are happy to learn that a very im portant point has jnet been gained in the work of opening the Northwest territory for settlement. One of the objects of the mission of Messrs. Sicotte and Rowland London last year was to represent to ominated, as Northwest could no longer be suffered to remain in its present wilderness condition and that the Canadian Cabinet desired to be informed what could be done in En gland towards opening up the territory. The answer to that question has been late• ly received, and it is of an eminently sat. isfschory character. The importance• of this dispatch is evident.. It secures Im• perial aid in money for the opening up of the territory, but it does tar more. It opens up, by means of the grant of land, the whola question of the Hudson's Bay Company's proprietorship, and willneces sarily compel a settlement of the points at issue.—Toronto Globe. 4 Movements in Lee's Army A rebel division which has hitherto been encamped on the heights behind Fredr - icksburg disappeared in the course of last night, (3d June) in what division is not known. It is believed, however, in the army, that the enemy is massing his forces on our right wing, hut whether with design to cross the river or as a feint with the ulterior purpose of withdrawing a con siderable portion of his troops to the Mis sissippi or elsewhere, is still a matter of speculation.— Tribune.

Editors : - The'early part the past - month witnessed some changes in three of the principal Departments of the State of Pennsylvania. On the 4tb, Wm. V. McGrath, Esq., ot Fhiladelphia, suc ceeded Henry D. Moore, Esq., of the same place, in the office of State Treas urer; on the sth, Isaac Slenker, Esq., of Union county, succeeded Thomas E. Cochran, Esq., of York, in the office of Auditor General; and on the same day, James P. Barr, Esq., of Pittsburgh, suc• ceeded Henry Souther, Esq., cf Elk coun ty; in the office of Surveyor General. All of the new incumbents are Democrats, and all of the retiring officers are Ropub publicans. Mr. McGrath has appointed William D. Boas, Esq., as chief clerk in the Treasurer's Office; Mr. Slenker has retained Col. Win. Wallace as chief clerk in the Auditor General's Office, and Mr. Barr has restored Major T. e Rehrer to the Chief clerkship ot the Surveyor Gen eral's Office. Mr. Boas has served in the Treasurer's office between nine and ten years, about one-half of which period be has been Chief Clerk. He is one of the very few persons in the Commonwealth, who are tally quali fied to fill that lost. He generally gravi tates in with a newly-elsicted Democratic Treasurer, and gets rotated out when one of opposite political faith is chosen. Mr. Wallace has been in the Auditor General's office about twenty-five years, and hay+ filled successively- nearly all the desks in that office. Fora number of years pant he hes been Chief Clerk, holding his place in spite of all changes in the head of the De partment, a tribute to his nneq wiled know ledge of the business of the office. Major Rehrer has been connected with the Land Office about twenty-seven years, and has been its Chief Clerk since 1842, with the exception of the three years just past, du ring which he was not in - the office. He is generally regarded as the best qualified person in the State for this position, and is remarkable for assiduous attention to his duties. All of the foregoing departments of the State Government, are important, and it seems to be the common opirim that each and every one of them is in good hands. Mr. 151cOrath, who is yet a young man, makes a favorable impression upon all who are thrown in his way, by his modest demeanor and sensible conversation. Mr. Slenker is an elderly gentleman, of quiet and retiring habits, but quite approach. able and pleasant. His mind is of a solid cast, and his mental acquirements are all of the most substantial character. Mr. Barr, who has tot yet perhaps attained to middle age, haS a pleasing address, and highly respectable talent. He makes friends without fishing for them, and re tains them without an effort. The position of Auditor General is one of the most laborious in the State, requir ing constant attention and unceasing vigi lance. That officer's signature is hourly required to numerous papers, and he is almost daily called upon to dt cide import ant questions arising in the settlement of accounts. It is a chronic habit of Com monwealth debtors to try to escape the payment of at least a portion of their in debtedness, and it i equally well- estab lished habit 01 Commonwealth creditors to get .cer . paid rather that? the reverse. Hence the necessity of the Auditor General being always at his post, and always wide awake. The same necessity does not ea• ist in the cases of the State Treasurer and the Surveyor General. There is no need of their being constantly at Harrisburg. And yet they have interests of gigantic magnitude in their keeping. The State Treasurer bad the custody of nearly seven million dollars during the last fis:tal year, and the ordinary annual receipts and dis bursements are between four and live millions. ru the Surveyor General's ( ttlice a work of great importance is going on, in accor dance with the requirements of an act of the Legislature. This work requires a calculation to be made upon every tract of land sold within the limits of this Com mon w ealth, from the first opening of the Land Office under Penn down the present time. 'The object of these calculations is to ascertain what nmcunt is still due to the State on certain tracts of land which have not been patented, and I believe it is the intention of the Legislature, to have the sums so ascertained to be due collect ed for the benefit of the Commonwealth, It is estimated these sums will reach an aggregate of two million dollars, even at the low rate of interest fixed by the Legis lature in the graduating act. If this sum were collected and handed over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, a handsome reduction of our State debt might be made. Not only could two millions of principal be' blotted out, but one hundred and twenty thousand dollars of interest be saved annually. This an nual saving would be equivalent to the payment of a million dollars of the State debt every eight years. The hoavy work thus directed by the Legislature to be done i n the Land Office was diligently carried on by the late Surveyor General. and it is said to be the intention of Mr. Barr to pursue it-with equal ardor. It may be added, as a matter of con• siderable interest to a large number of landowners throughout the State, that the Act of Assemby, of April 10th, 1835 c to " graduate lands on which money is due and unpaid to the Commonwealth," will expire by limitation on the first of Au• rust next. By this act the Coro misioners of the several counties are constituted a board of appraisers, with power to classi fy all lands on which any purchase-money is due to the Commonwealth, if desired to do so by the owner thereof. On all lands classed No. 4, no interest is charged on the parchaftedponey remaining unpaid. After the first of August, the County Corn. missioner will have no authority to classify I lands, and interest will be chargeable on the balance due on on unpatented lands, except such as were sold at eight cents per acre. aturlinr.

LEE'S REPORTED MOVEMENTS. &0., &0., &0., &o. NEW YORE, June EL—The Tribune's cor respondence contains the following : Naw ORLEANS, May 29th.—The fight at Port Hudson is fairly started. All that is known worthy of credence is, that the fight is a severe one. Brig Gon. Sherman is badly wounded-in the leg above the knee t aud was brought to the city. It is hoped 'lib leg may he saved. Col. Paine and Brig. Gen. Rickerson are reported killed. Ru-, mor says our loss in killed and wound ed is nearly 3,000. At one o'clock p. m. on Wednesday the battle commenced. The lines extended a distance of four miles in front of the ene my's works. The command of the extreme right was given to Gen. Wetzel. The next position was held by Gen. Grover, the third position by Gen. Augur, -and the left was given to Gen. Sherman. On the left the 165th New York, Lieut. Col. Ableamith, was ordered to discharge their muskets and charge upon the enemy. Gen. Sherman intended to carry a section of the fortifications at the. point of the bayonet. The Second Duryea Zonaves and the 177th New York made a desperate onset, and were met by a rain storm of bullets. Lieut. Col. Smith, of the former regiment was severely wounded, and find ing it impossible to successfully accom plush the daring purpose, a retreat was ef fected. Col. Cowles, of the 128th New York, while charging with his men, was killed. Gen. Dow was slightly wounded, and Gen. Sherman rallied and took charge of Dow's brigade, when he received a compound fracture of the right leg, from a grapeshot. His conduct is highly applauded. The struggle lasted until 5 o'clock p.m. when a general order was dispatched along the lines ta retreat to the original position occupied at the commencement of the ac tion. Gen. Wetzel is reported . to have taken two batteries. Oar loss is heavy-- at least 4,000. I am informed the rebels could nothave had over 10,000 men. The fight was doubtless renewed at daybreak yesterday. The most perfect confidence was felt that the rebels would succumb to the Union forces. Eight regiments are ordered to report to Banks at Fort Hudson. Among others killed and wounded are the following :—Colonel Kingsley, 26th Connecticut, severely, Colonel Kingman, 15th New Hampshire, slightly; Lieut. Col. A. Smith. 165th New York. severely; Lieut. Col. Blair, 15th New Hampshire, seriously; Major Carr,lsth New Hamp shire, badly; Major liafkie, Engineer, kir led; General P. W. Sherman, seriously General Neale Dow, slightly ; Colonel Cowles, killed; Colonel Payne, 2d Louis- ianti, killed; Captain Baden, seriously; Captain Thorpe, 165th New York, shoal der. The Major Kaffkie, mentioned in the list of killed, was a Prussian officer of rare ability. FORTRESS MONS.OE, June 6.—The Rich mond Dispatch of this morning has been received. It contains the following die- patches JACKSON, Miss., June 3. All was quiet at Vicksburg yesterday, and no firing was beard. Grant is evidently making preparations for a movement in some direction. SECOND DISPATCH JACKSON, Miss., June 4, A courier who has just arrived here re ports that Gen. Kirby Smith had crossed to Port Hudson on Sunday. The gunboats made a furious assault on Sunday. No doubts are felt in regard to the result. Interesting details of the fight on Thurs• day at Vicksburg are coming in. Gen. Grant used cotton bales for move able breastworks in the attack. Oen. Pemberton mounted two hundred pounders and directed the fire at the cot. ton bales, mowing down whole platoons of the enemy. Our entire loss in the action of Baker's creek does not exceed 5.000. Confidence in Gen. Pemberton, since his answer to Grant's demand fora sur render has been finally restored. No fears are felt as to the result either at Vicksburg or Port 'Judson, Cuireao, June 6.—A special dispatch from Chickasaw Bayou, dated June Ist, says: There is no important change to re port. Gen. Logan has planted heavy eitige guns within one hundred yards of the rebel works, and has constructed a covered' way from behind a high hill, through . which the gunners pass with little danger. A bearer of dispatches from Pemberton to Johnston left the rebel lines on Thurs day laat, and came directly to Grant's headquarters and communicated their con tents to General Grant. The Port Hudson dates are to May 20th. At that time General Banks had entirely invested the place, resting the two wings of his army on the river. Our gunboats are bombarding the rebel fortifications from the river, while Banks was thunder ing with his artillery in the rear of the rebels. WASHINGTON, June 6.—A special die - the New York Evening Post, A dispatch boat from below has just ar rived here with the important information that the rebels have merited Fredericks burg. The movements of Lee's army, which have given rise to so many conflict. ing reports during the past week, are ex plained by the removal of his entire force from the line of the Rappahannock, which is now in the undisputed possession of Gen. Hooker. Our forces immediately crossed the river and occupied the town, over which the stare and stripes are now flying. As yet we have no indication of the direction which Lee has taken, Sr. Louis, June 6.—The New York delegation was formally received by the State and city authorities at the Court Rouse this afternoon. Henry T. Blow made the welcome address, which was re sponded to by Gen. Walbridge on behalf of the delegation. Adareases were also made by Got , . King, S. B. Ruggles, Gov. Gamble and others. Gov. Gamble, in speaking In reference to the projected canal, said that Missouri recognized the importance of the move ment, and desired to sacrifice everything for the Union, an institution that belongs to Missouri and connects her with the South. She herself is about to remove permanently.
