FOR SUPREME JUDGE,
WALTER H. LOWRIE
THE AESEEAt QUESTION.-
We publish to-day another review
by •' Wayne" of the Allegheny . Arsenal
question. Its publication has been de
layed in consequence of our .:absence', and
the bustle and pressure of the times. If
the facts and revelations made by Wayne
are correct, (and they are vouched for by
the persona impeached and implicated,)
the case u presents the most extraordinary
extra-judicial proceeding, that we have
seen or beard of since the commencement
of this rebellion. We have time and
space merely to call attention to the fdets
of the case as presented, and leave theist
for the present, to the consideration and
reflection of our readers.
PARTISAN FANATICISM
It is perfectly evident that the extreme
Radicals and their press are totally insen
sible to the present lamentable and ago
nizing condition of the dnuntry ; and we
doubt, very much, whether the announce
ment of Lee's rebel legions being in pos
session of our national capital, would
cause them to hesitate in their present in
famous proceedings. While the Demo
(-ratio Governors of New York and New
Jersey are, by their celerity and precision,
putting to blush the imbeciles at Wash
ington, the Aboltion press is thanking
them for assisting our State authorities in
their endeavors .to save our Common
wealth from rebel-Invasion, by applying
to their party and 'to themselves the term
copperheads and traitors. In what con
dition would our State now be, had it not
been for the prompt action of these cop
perheads ?-
New England, which has been directing
the Administration and dictating its poll
cy, has not responded to Gov. Curtin's
appeal for assistance. Gov. Andrew is
too busy contemplating the results of his
negro policy, to bestow any attention
whatever upon threatened Pennsylvania ;
but he is, notwithstanding, a patriot, while
Seymour is a Copperhead and traitor.
The latter has already sent to Pennsylva
nia seventeen regiments, and is organiz
ing more ; while the Massachusetts " loy
alist," is demanding of the President the
fulfillment of his Abolition bond, as will
be seen by the following Washington tele
grem in yesterday's Gazette.
Fenator Sumner presented to the President
to-day a letter from Governor Andrew, covering
a memorial from a number of the most. highly
respected citizens of Boston. begging the Gov
ernment to make as atithoritative proclamation
of its purposes to protect black scddiers. The
memorialists are very earnest and say that - they
do ilet pass upon the question of the propriety of
empThying black soldiers, but having employed
them, the Government ahotthl and must protect
them."
The black soldiers having shown aupe
riority over white ones, according to Abo
lition accounts of their desperation and
valor in the field, the President. of course,
"should and must protect them." Hav
ing made this important discovery, of ne
gro superiority, however, why do not An
drew and Sumner insist upon their being
drafted, instead of cowardly copperheads
who will betray their cause? We trust,
however, that the President will not fur
ther neglect Pennsylvania, at present, to
consider this Massachusetts pelitical. Our
case is more urgent, demanding immedi
ate attention. Andrew promised that
New England would swarm with volun
teers whenever a proclamation of emanci
pation were issued ; it was issued, but the
swarms did not appear. Having fooled
the Administration into one fatal blunder,.
the President now should postpone the
consideration of this petition, and show
some concern for our gallant old Com
monwealth, which has given him over a
hundred and fifty-thousand of her sons to
fight for the Union.
MILROY'S DEFEAT.
Oar spicy little neighbor, the Dispatch,
not being impressed with the fear of snp
pression, has the temerity to remark that :
'•'lf our troops, while in the enemy's country,

to be expected that they will deprive themselves
of the pleasures of a domestic life in order to at

Milroy, in this "grand pie-nic excur
sion," with the ladies wound him, was
only : practicing what the Abolitionists
have, until*Moy. been preaching. They
told us that a war with the South would be
a mere frolic; 'that ten thousand old, but
determined spinsters, with broom sticks,
could march in triumph from Washington
to Charleston. Milroy, being a genuine
follower of these teachings, very properly
gathered his family around him, as the hen‘
gathers her brood ; and, had it not been
for the intrusive successor of Gen. Jack.

an exciting Limo of , it. As it was, he lost
about five thousand out of seven thousand
men,''besides 'a number of his Officers'

tary promotion, they will, at least, Ease
him from being dismissed the service.—
These political generals are wide 'awake ;
whenever one of them makes a serious
military blunder, he immediately makes a
speech denouncing "Northern Copper
heads," at the same time intimating what
felicity it would afford him, to place his
heel upon their traitorous necks. Al
though indignant at Milroy's shameless dis
aster, we trust that the Dispatch is not
displeased with his Harrisburg perform
ances. 'He on that occasion went the en
tire abolition figure.
GEN. SCHENCK
This valiant person now located in Bal
timore has accomplished a great military
operation for his department ; he has sup
pressed the circulation of some three or
four newspapers not published in his
district. These newspaper suppressions
by military quacks are intended to com
peasate for their former failures in the
field. Burnside and Schenck will live in
history when nine-tenths of ottrlierocs are
forgotten ; theirs, too, will be a lasting
fume, such as that courted by the aspiring
youth, who fired the dome of Ephesus.
The Chicago Times, one of the papers
suppressed by Schenck, remarks:
"Does the President of the United States in
sitting by and vermitting military commanders
of departments to suppress the circulation .of
Democratic newspapers in such departments,
suppose that •he is making more palatable to the
great Democratic party of the country his Poli
cies of the et ar ?. Does he suppose that he Is in- '
spiting that party with more confidence as to his
own designs upon the institutions of the country
in the future? Duet be suppose that tin is in
creasing the public willingoess - tv smport
aid the execution of the n••nscription? Does he
suppose that ho is contributing to a restoration
of that Northern popular unity which waq
afore
time deemed so essential to the preservation of
the very existence of the government?"
These are pertinent questions, truly ;
bat the idea is, it seems, not to either cou•
ciliate the Democratic party or put an eud
to the war either. Th 4 proper disposi
tion of the slavery question is first and al
ways in order.
Stir Alludingto the "phantastic tricks'
of Burnside and Schenck, the World fa
cetiouely remarks: "At the fame time
we feel bound to state, in answer to many,
very many natural inquiries, that ne itLo

lingering regard for the conservative prin.

Fur the
More Disloyalty.
How long are the Abolition papers to
be allowed to sneer at the Administration
for its alleged incompetency, and want of
nerve to meet the emergencies constantly
arising during this war. As a specimen
of these uncalled for insults, see the fol
lowing; the complete and only editorial
in Monday's Pittsburgh Dispatch:
"GOING HOME.—A New York regiment,
the Fifteenth, Col. Keefe, left the Army
of the Potomac last Monday. We ven
ture to state that no regiment would have
been permitted to leave Lee's army, on
account of expiration of service, at such a
critical time."
(On Wednesday it has another growl at
the management of the army.)
The tendency of such remarks is most
I miscbevious. It discourages enlistments,
for who will enlist when it is so broadly
hinted that our authorities have not the
energy to make armies efficient, or rather
to keep them so, and that the only way to
do it, is to hold men indefinitely, regard.
less of their term of inlistment. It gives
aid and comfort to the enemy, for it im
pliedly praises the rebel leader Lee at the
expense of our own leaders. Having
already persuaded the Administration into
violating, wheneventhey see fit, the Con
stitution, which to the Republicans was a
"stublingling-block" and to the Aboli•
tionists "foolishness," these papers now
seek to induce it to violate its own con
tracts with its eoldiers by holding them
until it pleases to let them go, whether
they like it or not. They should be care
ful how they offer such advice, for that
dangerous adviser of the President, Stan
ton, who by his apings has succeeded in
making himself a most ridiculous bur
lesque on Metternich "the incarnation of
Austrian despotism" is no way backward
in assuming powers that don't belong to
him, and there has already becn some
complaint from even Abolition papers
about "Agressions."
The Siege of Vieloburg
Details of Gen. Grant's Operations.
Dispatches have been received at Wash•
ington trona Vickburg, dated the 16th and
16th inst. The siege works, it is stated,
are still progressing with vigor. General
Grant was still receiving reinforcements,
and the health of the troops continued ex
cellent. The whole loss of the United
States force for the week preceding the
16th was not more than twelve killed.—
The total killed and wounded did not ex
ceed fifty.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
writing under date of June 9th, gives the
foliowing :
The Situation
On the main road from Jackson to
Vicksburgh the rebels have constructed
strong fortifications on a ridge running di.
rectly into town. This is about the cen
tre of their line of works; and if we can
get possession of these, the others must
fall without much trouble. This is appre-
ciated by our commanding officers and
they are malting strong aggressive move
ments in this direction. Gen. Logan, who
is a very active, energetic officer, holds
this point with his division.
Dftch Iljgging
We wereapproaching' the fort by way o
the road running along the ridge, and the
fort being built right across the road, com•
manding the position so perfectly that it
was impossible to dig the ditch that is to
lead us to the base of their works without
some protection. A ditch six feet wide
and six feet deep was completed to within
tic, hundred feet of the tort, when it was
necessary to turn it in a direction to the
left across the road. From this point it
was to be turned at right angles, nearly,
and one hundred feet would bring us to
the base.

SENAL QUESTION."
PITTSBURGH, June 19th, 1863.
To the Editor of the Post:
Stn: My eommunic.ation of the 6th of
+t ,
June, in reterence to the '/Arsenal Ques
tion," was addressed :to the Secretary of
War, and to Military and - Naval Officers
generally. I now addrees myself to the
civil authorities, to judges, jurists, and
men conversant with proceeding in our
criminal courts. That they may under
stand the ease, and be able to apply their
understandings to the facts. I give the fol
lowing brief abstracts, as texts for their
comments and criticisna.'" Let me premise
the case, by stating: That fifteen labori
ous, sober. steady and faithful mechanics,
have been accused, eecretly tried, con
victed, and discharged from service; with
out notice, and not having the slightest
intimation or knowledge, as to the accu
sations preferred, or the accusers who tes
tified against them -I Their first and only
notice was : " You have been tried, con
demnedand sentenced!" But to the brief
in the case:
Ist. By referring to my communication
of the 6th inst. in the Weekly Post, it will
be seen that I gave a full statement of the
course pursued against the men who had
been denounced and proscribed, by the
informer, James W. McFarland, Samuel
Riddle, editor of Gazette, Thomas HOW.
ard, Esq. ,
and Samuel F. Barr; (the Chair
man of the Committee appointed by Mr.
Riddle). I did this from a sense of jus
tice and fair dealing towards the accusers.
21. That I quoted them truly, and com
mented justly on theirlettert3, publications
and proceedings, I refer to the Gazette of
the 25th of May last, in which Mr. Rid
die professes to give all that had trans
pired , but in which he took the liberty
to suppress Col. Whitely's note of the 15th
and his own letter of the Bth of May.
;id. I stated also that a cabal of conspi
rators met at night and examined witness
es against the accused. withoutgivingthem
notice or theslightest intimation that they
were charged with any offence, or inform
ing them of the names of their accusers,
or ut those who were summoned to ap•

neeses before the Alderman and then have
to rely upon memory, and as far as they
could recollect, as to what had been - read to
them ; the names of the witnesses against
them, and what those witnesses testified
and swore to!
If this has not been as damnable a con
spiracy, in its intents and purposes, as it
has been detrimental and damning to the
characters of the accused, then am I no
able to distinguish between open and just
and fair dealing between man and man,
and the stealthy, covert and assassin like
attacks of those, who like the incendiary,
destroy without warning and in darkness,
the property and good name of their neigh
hors !
Mr. Editor: I stated at the outset of
this communication• that I submitted facts,
for the consideration only of judges, ju•
rists and men conversant with proceedings
in our courts of law. if they can sanction
and justify such proceedings, then must
the condemned unresistingly and uncom•
plainingly submit to the ruin of their
characters ; and their children and fami
lies to the reproach of inheriting the taint
and sin of disloyalty, from their fathers!
A damning inheritance for all time to
come !
I vouch for the foregoing being a true
statemett. I have only a common in•er
est with all just and good citizens in the
fate of these men. With a few comments,
I will leave the matter for the reflection of
others.
will be observed that Thomas How
ard was the only lawyer on the committee.
That night after night he sat and listened
to the attacks made against the characters
of his neighbors, without giving them
notice or a chance of exculpation; that
hethen united with the rest of the inquis
itors in their condemnation, and a de
mand for their being ejected from the
Arsenal 1 In view of a ease like this,
Junius might well disclaim beinga lawyer,
and declare that the "study and practice
of the law, contracted the understanding
and corrupted the heart." Edmund
Burke softened and modified the decision
of Junius, by -stating that "the practice of
the law, except in persons very happily
born, is not apt to open and liberalize
the mind." Whether Mr. Howard has
experienced the effects of this "contract
ing and corrupting" influence, I will leave
to be decided by those who know him
better than I do, and who are better ac
quainted with his antecedent history, and
know better his proclivities and practices,

ing that they should be brought face to
tace, that the accused might have an
opportunity to reply and defeud himself?
I do not know these witnesses ; and prob
ably the persons against whom they clan
destinely swore, will never know them.—
Their testimony and oaths, and the record
of the proceedings are in a sealed book
hermetically sealed, by the 1,515 t General
Order. The commander cannot give it,
and the Secretary of War, on application
to him, declines to revoke that order or
permit the book to be opened to the pro
scribed or to the public ! May God help
and defend the right! We have fallen up•
on times when men are not permitted to
defend themselves ! Yet do I believe,
that when these chosen and protected wit
[leases shall meet the accused, face to
face, their illegal and unjust conduct will
produce in them a twinge of conscience'
and a flush of shame, that will mark them
aq the • oppressors and wrong doers, who'
suffered themselves to be used in destroy- I
in g the characters of good and worthy
men who had never injured them.
It will be seen by Mr. Barr's letters to
the editor of the Gazette, and his several
letterii to Col. Whitely, (all of which are
published in the Gazette of the ' 25th of

Mr. Editor, I sincerely believe that the
men who have thus been traduced and
victimized, to be good men, and true and
loyal citizens ; therefore do I interpose in
their behalf. And in a case of this kind,
looking to the relative situation of the
accused and their accusers, I consider that
reticence in regard to such persons and
proceedings as have condemned them, and
silence in regard to the complaints of in
justice by the accused, would exhibit a
cowardice as ungenerous, as it would be
criminal and unmanly.

Judge Lane, who resigned the judge
ship of the Municipal Court of this city to
take the consulship at Vera Cruz, Mexico,
returned to the city yesterday, after an ab
sence of b event! months. His health is
excellent. • ,
From him we learn that, although the
French have taken Puebla, it was but a
barren victory. They got the city, but
the people were gone.
The Mexicans - :esisted nobly, holding
out with great obstinacy, expecting to be
relieved by the forces under Comonfort,
but either through negligence or bribery
(the latter suspected) he allowed his army
to be surprised and cut to pieces.
The morning alter this disaster Ortega
surrendered the city, bat instead of the
17,000 men and 500 officers reported to
have laid down their arms,
there were only
three or four hundred. The rest had es
caped to the capital, carrying what they
could, spiking the cannon, destroying the
small arms, &c. Their ammunition bad
Leen nearly all expended iu the siege.
Phis inttlhgence reached Vera Cruz the
day belore Judge Lane left, contradicting
the previous reports Circulated by the
French, and was believed to be authentic.
the French had reported that the large
number of pi isoners alleged to have been
captured, were on their way to Vera Cruz,
the men to b, sent to Martinique and the
officers to France, but their non arrival
after a month's delay, was finally explain
ed by the statement that they had violated
their parole and escaped.
Judge Lane feels confident that if the
success had been what was at first repre- '
seuted, the French would have treated
with the Mexican government and closed
the war, but that this virtual defeat will
certainly compel them to continuo
the struggle, lie does not believe, how
ever, that they will be able to advance on
the capital without large reinforcements.
They have Bent about 40,000 troops in all
to Mexico; the vomit and Mexican bul
lets have reduced this number to about
20,000 men—not enough to take Mexico
and hold the line of communication.

A battle can scarcely occur before to
morrow. The rebels have cut the tele
graph. They charged on our retreating
force, chasing them to near Greenvillage.
Our tortes still hold Carlisle and Ship
pensburg, and the heights near Gettys
burg.
Colonel McClure reports that the whole
country bordering Chamberebnrg h full
of rebels. It is rumored that the rebels
threaten to be in Harrisburg by Saturday
night. Several wagon loads of negroes
have arrived from - Skipnensburg. All of
the ref ogees are tinansmotzsin stating that
the rebel General Jenkins was:very severe
in his contempt of _the copperheads.
The Bth and 71st New York regiments
reached Carlisle thiS morning.
The Shippensbnrg dispatch says, the
rebel mounted infantry, cavalry and ar
tillery entered that place this evening,
A special to the New York Times, dated
Harrisburg, 23d, says: A thousand rebel
cavalry advanced to Scotland Creek this
afternoon. The citizens from 'he country
above are pouring into Harrisburg. Capt.
Boyd reports the rebels slowly and cer
tainly moving this way. The postmaster
at Greencastle arrived here this afternoon.
The rebels seize all the property they can
find.
MEMPHIS, June 23 —Official advices
from General Grant to the 19th instant at
noon, report some advantages gained by
our forces on the 18th. The siege was
progressing satisfactorily. Gen. McCler
nand bas been removed from the com
mand of the Thirteenth Army Corps, and
General Ord assigned to the command in
his place. Col. Misner has destroyed the
railroad at Panols, No particulars have
been received.
Yociici's POINT, June 17, via Cairo,
June 28 —The brigade under General
Ellet, accompanied by Geu. Meade, made
a reconnois*ance to Richmond on the
lath with 2,300 men, and drove l 500
rebels out of the place, captured thirty
prisoners and burned the town. Our loss
was slight.
On tee 15th, at Marion, Ark., Ellett's
ca :airy captured a wagon containing what
purported to be six barrels of flour and
three boxes of goods, bat on examination
by the Commissary were found to contain
over five hundred thousand percussion
caps, packed in the flour barrels. The
boxes contained stationery. The whole
had been permitted to pass out of Mem- ,
phis. Documents were also found impli
cating certain well known merchants of
St. Louis as the guilty parties.
IVA copy of the Vicksburg Whig Extra,
printed on wall paper, pretends to give
exciting Northern news, putting General
Grant's loss at forty thousand.
A rebel lieutenant captured yesterday,
says that Pemberton's purpose was to die
sooner than surrender.
Thera was picket skirmishing at Haines'
Bluff yesterday and Monday. The rebels
are reported to be advancing on our de•
fences at that point.
The total assaults and casualties in Gen.
MeClernand's corps in the campaign, is
3 956. The division of Gen. Blair lost
896 killed, wounded and missing, in the
assaults of the 19th and 22d ult.
The report that the rebels are fortifying
the Black river bridge is erroneous. The
enemy are not within many miles of that
place. Correspondents from the lines say
that all is unusually active. The rebels
are firing more continuously. The news
from Johnston foreshadows hot work soon.
CINCINNATI, June 24.—The Gazette's
correspondent, near Vicksburg, on the
18th, says; It is intended to open with
hot shot upon the city, on the 20th.
BANGOR, Ms., June 24.-officer McKin
ney, of Belfast, Me., was yesterday shot
by two deserters named Grant and Knowles
whom he was endeavoring to arrest in
Troy for horse stealing. A number of
citizens then turned out to arrest the .des
peradoes, and while attempting to secure
them they fired on another officer and
killed him. Finding escape impossible,
and determined not to be taken alive, the
two deserters then deliberately shot and
killed-themselves.
