THE KING'S JESTER.
Forney, having successfully filled the
part of the "President's" log—snuffling
about the doors and key holes in the vari•
one apartments of the White House—
has commenced the role of court jester,
in view of qualifying himself for that. posi
tion after Uncle Abe, or some other man,
has proclaimed an Empire. In one of his
late productions that joker publishes the
following touch of his quality. It is a
pretended sketch of a scene in the White
House just before the President issued his
first proclamation. It proceeds:
"Gentlemen," said the President to that little
party of patriotic men, "the machinery of the
nation is out of order. We must run it as we find
it. Its intelligent wheels., its rods, belts, are
separated, but the boiler seems to be perfect.
W e must repair the work with such skill and in
genuity as we possess. There is wisdom in coun
cil, and therefore I have called you that we may
reason together. What shall we do to crush out
this foul rebellion and preserve the country from
wreck. I have made up my mind with implicit
confidence in, an overruling Providence, to meet
all emergencies that may arise. It is time for
work," continued the President. •• What shalt I
do about issuing a proe:amatiun to the people ?"
The President, with his hands folded behind
his back, paced up and down the apartment.
The :is or seven Governors who formed his
auditors, were wrapped in the mantle of deep
meditation. Each °appeased their opinion, but
their sentences were punctuated with too many
"ifs or ands."
While all this was going on Gov. Andrew G.
Curtin, fresh from his Blue mountain home. was
standing at the window looking through the
panes, upon which ho was drumming with his
angers, while at the same time ho was humming
Hail Columbia. Lie was an attentive listener to
all that was going on. lie had not yet hem, ap
proached by the President. Presently there was
profoied silence in that small lest thoughtful party
of distinguished gentlemen.
Mr. Lincoln finaily broke the :2.11.2,1 ami

The President of the great American nation

gled with those that suffused the cheeks of the
patriot tiov,i-ruot t.i tho Istivet“ue butte.

President detnottstraten that he must have
been awfully impressed with his reaponsi•
bilities. Ho was big with the fate of the
Union, because, as the story tells,
feet destiny trembled in the balance."
The President ditl'et at once proceed to
inform the gathering of " patriotic men,"
that the contemplated issuing a procla•
mation ; he prefaced this by allusion to
the nation's machinery, in which he re
marked that the " intelligent wheels, rode
and belts" were separated, but that the
"boiler" was all perfect, which was re
ceived with great gratification by the "pa
triotic" men to whom it was addressed, in
view of the fact of there being no immediate
danger of the boiler's explosion. Here
the President, swinging hie arms behind
his back, began to pace up and down the
floor, while the governors were " wrapped
in the mantle of deep meditation." The
grotesque picture of . Mr. Clay addressing
the Senate in favor of the compromise
measures of 1850, surrounded as he is by
Webster, Calhoun and Cass, is a dull af
fair, compared to this pen and ink sketch
of old Abe addressing governors wrapped
in the mantle of deep meditation, about
"belts, rods and wheels," which he re
lied with implicit confidence upon an
overruling Providence to make secure.
But while the pensive and thoughtful
patriots were lost 'in meditation, there
stood one who was not at all affected by
the surrounding gloom. Grand, gloomy
and peculiar, "like some tall cliff that
lifts its awful form," stood "Andrew G.
Curtin fresh from his blue mountain
home" unaffected by the artificial terrors
by which he was surrounded. It was a
time to try the mettle of the bravest; one
of those rare occasions upon which "the
timid tremble but the brave stand still."
There he stood, apparently unconcerned,
looking at the pane before him, upon which
he was drumming with his fingers, to the
patriotic air of Lind Columbia. No
one knew what. was passing in his
teeming brain, until the President, at
length, finally brok e the spell by " stand
ing erect in all the pride of a western
gentleman," and remarkin', " Andy 1,11111

replied "Andy," drumming on as afore
said, and then n pause, as ii his bones
were aching with increased emotion, and
then another pause, after which he an
nounced "a hundred thousand in a week."
Abe and Andy immediately rushed into
each others arms, while the big round
tears chased one another down their suf
fused cheeks in rapid suci.ession, while
the others still lap wrapped in th e i „„„ ti ,
of profound meditation.

SHALLOW TRICK TO DE
CEIVE IRISHMEN.
We have been shown au annonymous
publication, containing garbled extracts
from a false report of a speech of Judge
Woodward, delivered in Pl 7, addressed
" to the Foreigners of the Third Ward: .
This handbill concludes as follows.
"In conclusion 1 would say, that if you vote
for this tnan Woodward, you will in tact have
joined the real Know -Nothing party of the coun
try, and will have vnted against your native
country, your religion and your (lad."
The fellow w ho got this handbill, up has
a very tender regal d for the rights of the
Irishmen of the Third Ward. The simple
CifilitililtallCO of this dirty work, in order
to assist Curtin, shows how much regard
he entertains for the rights of the people
he addresses. "The Irishmen of the
Third ii ac are, howev, , r, not to be im•
posed upon by such silly twaddle as this
handbill contains. There is not one of
them who does not understand the poli
tics of the day and his duty as a citizen,
fully as well as those who are circulating
their slanders, of the Democratic candi
date. The idea of opposing Woodward,
in order to assist Curtin, on the ground of
Know- Nothingism, is too stnpid au imposi
tion to be practiced upon the Irish voters,
of the Third Ward.
Thieves Falling Out
The Washington City Gluon/eh' was
started by Forney, under the auspices of
certain patriotic gentlemen, who were
"stealing themselves rich in the name of
liberty." lt, of course, is for prosecuting
the war indefinitely. To give it prestige,
Forney claims that his Chronicle is the
Administration organ. That claim is de•
nied by the Washington City National Re
publican, which berates the Chronicle tor
its organ assumption in the following
style:

Gen. Hooker
The farewell speech of Joseph Hooker
says the Chicago Times, to the officers
who gathered around his headquarters
near rederick, Maryland, when the fact
that he was removed became known, has
had general circulation. It is altogether
the most creditable performance of the
(lateral chile acting as a commander of
the Army of the Potomac. It was excul
patory of himself in this : "1 tell you.
gentlemen, that at Chancellorville I was
engaged but two hours with Lee, while
the other twenty-two were taken up with
the government, at Washington.'' It was
accusatory of the administration in thin:
"1 pity any man who ever commands the
Army of the Potomac. I encountered
many things 1 little dreamed of when I
took command. I have been hampered and
fettered." It was just as truthful in this:
" I always said this was the greatest
army of the Republic, and say so still."
It was remorseful in this, that being inter•
rupted with the question whether it had
not always been the case that commanders
of that army had been hampered and fet.
tered, he r3plied, reluctantly : " It always
has." It was pathetic in this: " I have
been exiled to 'Baltimore. What I shall
do there 1 don't know, for I don't know
a d—d woman, man or child there." And
it was declaratory in this : " I shall re
sign from the army and go to California,
where lam respected.' If Wade and
Chandler will now swear Joseph, they
will get quite as much useful, and proba
bly much more truthful information from
him, than when he was last before them
as a witness.

State Rights.
In the debates in the New York Con•
vention called in 1788 to pass upon the
Federal Constitution, ALEXANDER HAMII..
TON, the most ultra constitutionalist in the
Federal Convention, used the following
language:
" I insist that it never can bo the inter
est or the desire of the National Legisla
ture to destroy the State Government. It
can derive no advantage from such an
event; but, on the contrary, would lose an
indispensable support, a necessary aid in
executing the laws and 'conveying the in
fluence of the Government to the doors of
the people. The Union is dependent on
the will of the State Governments for its
chief magistrate and its Senate. The blow
aimed at the members must give a fatal
wound to the head; and the destruction
of the State must be at once a political
suicide. Can the National Government
be guilty of this madness? What induce•
menu, what temptations can they have?
Will they attach new honors to their sta
tion; will they increase the national
strength ; will they multiply the National
resources; will they make themselves
wore respectable in the view of foreign
nations, or of their fellow citizens, by rob
bing the...Stattm of their constitutional
privileges? But imagine for a moment
that a political frenzy should seize the
Government; suppose they should make
the attempt. Certainly, sir, it would be
forever impracticable. This has been
sufficiently demonstrated by reason and
experience. It has been proved that the
members of Republics have beeq, and
ever will be, stronger than the head."
Ter London Spectator says that the au•
dience at a Marmon meeting were aston-r
;shed at seeing small white figures moving
over'the floor. A lady pocketed one of
these objects, and found it to be a frog
dole up in white paper, with the intention
w'orking'upon the fears, superstitions or
..t the credulous.
Theßochoster Political Gathering
The following are the resolutions adopt
ed last week by the conservative gathering
at. Rochester :
Resolved, That this meeting favors an
association of conservative Union men for
the next Presidential campaign, and that.
We invite the union and co operation of all
who are opposed to the election to any
office in the gift of the people of any per
son in political connection or sympathy
with Secession, Abolitionism or Nativism
of any kind ; that our abiding purpose, in
brief, is the suppresaion of the rebellion,
the maintenance of the Union, adherence
to the constitution, fidelity to the govern•
mein, the enforcement of the laws, and
opposition to foreign intervention.
Resolved, That a national committee be
appointed by this meeting, to consist of
two members from each State and a Sec
retary, who shall be, ex officio, a member
thereof ; said committee to have power to
fill vacancies; that it shall be the duty of
the committee to elect a President and
Treasurer, each to call a National Con•
veution for the nomination of a President
and Vice President of the United States,
and to make all necessary arrangements
for conducting the presidential campaign,
and to confer with other conservative or
ganizations, for the purpose of securing
united action.
R,-,Ndred, That the establishment of the
independence of the States in revolt would
entail upon the people of the United
States evils more grevious and greatly
more enduring than all that would result
from the continuance of the war; where
fore, every patriot should support the ap
propriation of all themoney and men ne
cessary for a vigorous and successful pros
ecution of tlw war against the people in a
state of military insurrection until they
dissolve their military array against the
United Slates, and in good faith return to
the : Union under their respective State
constitutions existing at the time they re
volted,
Resolved, That the people of a State,
any portion of whom are in insurrection
against the United States, should they
abandon such insurrection and return to
that, allegiance and obedience to the an•
thority of the constitution and law of the
United States and their respective States,
and perform every other act in conducting
the Federal Government which the people
of any State may rightfully do; provided,
however, that all persons who in this re
volt have violated any of the criminal or
penal laws of the United States will be
sutject to be tried according to the forms
prescribed by the constitution and laws of
the 1 rnited States for such offences.
Resolved, That the rights of property,
whether in lands, personalty or slaves in
the States, is exclusively within the author
ity and jurisdiction of the United States
respectively; and the owners of all or
either of these three classes of property
cannot be deprived of it by the Govern
ment of the United States, the President,
or icily military or civil officer thereof, ex

Another Iron-Clad for Charleston
The naysl anthoritieg of the Brooklyn
navy yard have reported the iron•clad
Lehigh ready for active service. She
burst a gun some time since, at Fortress
Monroe, and came here for a new one.—
On her arrival, however, she was taken in
hand, and improved in every way. The
turret gear, which got out of order in one
of the vessels during the first contest, is
now rendered inaccessible to projectiles of
any description. A huge iron band, no
less than five feet in thickness, surrounds
the lower part of the turret, and preserves
it from all effect of shot. l'he armament
of the vessel has been also changed. She
has now one of the inch Dahlgren guns,
and 200• pound Parrott. titled. The ma
chinery of the Lehigh has been also over
hauled. and she is now in a better condi•
tion than when she sailed first from IVil
mington. She is to leave this city to mor
row or the day after, it is supposed, for
Charleston, to reinforce the 4nnored Heel
doing such good service there.
An Excellent Law—Troops at Elec
By the 95th section of the Act of As
sembly of the State of Pennsylvania, of
2d July, 1839, it is enacted that—
"No body of troops in the army of the
United Mates or of this Commonwealth,
shall be present, either armed or unarmed,
at any place of election within this Coon •
monwealth, during the time o/ such elec
tion."
The above is from the Philadelphia
Age, which journal calls upon the (]over
nor to enforce it at the October election.
It says
"All troops mus. be absent from places
of election in this State, on the 13th of
October next, or the Democracy will see,
if the tioveruor dare not, that the laws of
our Commonwealth are not trampled
down at Federal behest. It had better be
understood thus early in the day, that the
farce of the Kentucky elections can not
be repeated in Pennsylvania—that we are
determined to have a free, fair and hon
est electinv, according to Mr laws of our
own State —and if the Federal satrap who
now rules this Province of the National
Government fails to do his duty in the
matter, an outraged people will supply the
remedy."
A Brutal Attack on tho Irish
The Boston Commonwealth the organ o
Charles Sumner, an extreme Abolitiot
print, in epeaking of the Irishtnan, says
"We by no means contend that. he is
equal in moral and intellectual endow
'limits to the colored man; but we insist
that he is capable of a good degree of im
provement. When the demagogue is dead
and Croton and Cochit ante are universal
the will be the the Coperhead's opportu
city. Then we will bet on him in small
sums and in the race with Sambo, Patrick
may nave his distance."
This is said of that race that has pro
duced Burke, Sheridan; Grattan, Curran,
Tom Moore, Daniel O'Connell, Robert
Emmett and a host of others, whose
names shine resplendent upon the pages
of history. This is the race whom itho

What a Rebel Saya of the Negro
Soldiers
The New Orleans Della, contains the
diary of a rebel officer at Port HU(lson,
written previous to the .capture of that
stronghold, from which we quote the fol
lowing testimony, touching the conduct of
the negro soldiers, as seen from a iel,pl
point of view :
"'Me was the battle of the 2701 of May.
A demonstration had, indeed, been made
upon our extreme left, but it did not
amount to a charge. A couple of negro
regiments, with a line of white troops be
hind them, came up through a growth of
willow trees to the edge of the clearing, a
distance of between six and seven hun
dred yards from a rifle pit we had dug
along the Weil which came out at that
place. They were tired into by a small
party of skirmishers in the woods on their
flank and from the thinly lined ride-pit in
their (rent, with n couple of small mono
Lain howit, , ers which we had there. They
broke at our fire, and clustered behind
the willow trees, apparently too panic
stricken either to advance or run. Our
shots tore tlo- fragile willows into frag
ments, and the splinters were probably as
dangerous its our tire, so that they were
stricken down with great havoc. On ac•
count of the line id white troops behind
Chum, they prof ably had some lillienity
in gettin, , , away ; but in% fifteen minutes
after they first appeared, none of them
were to he seen except the dead, and
those who were too badly wounded to
crawl att ; and these, some two hundred
and fifty in nomber, could be plainly seen
through a hpy-glioa among the willows.
The nearest ot their dead to our ride pits
was two hundred yards distant. This was
the last we saw of negro troops at Port
Hudson."
The "Last Ditch" Abandoned for a
"Friendly Tree,"
The "last ditch" theory has been aban•
doned by the Rebels. They recognize
rinblegation as possible but insist that they
can hold out for a time by turning guer
rillas and bushwackers. Thus a writer in
the Mobile Neu' that if driven from the
open field the can (lire from behind •`friend
ly trees,' and seems to have'no doubt
at all that this new finality will be quite
popular as that which has been abandon
ed. lie even looks to Jeff Davis to take
the lead in this style of warfare. lie
says:--
Our president promised that if the dark•
est hour should he forced upon us; when
our capital shonld fall,when our last mili
tary organization should become scattered
or expire, he would join the patriot band
of heroes who, from behind some friendly
tree, would continue to greet the invader
with the crash of the rifle, and make his
track one of hlood,famed even in after his
tory as the last stand of the freeman.
"Friendly trees" will very soon be in
wide demand throughout the Rebellious
States.

'rho Earthquake at Manilla
A few :elditionnl particulars of the ter
rible earthquake at Manilla, on the 3d and
4th of June last, have been received. The
loss of life among the inhabitants is repre
sented to have been very great. The first
shock was experienced at about 1 o'clock
on the 3d, and several followed until six
o'clock the next evening. The Cathedral,
the Royal Chapel, and the Churches SL
Domingo and St. laabellitT thepalace,

have been discovered. Mooted at the
wharf they have two steamers, and oppo
site the city they have a pontoon bridge of
47 boats.
The largest of the steamers was sunk by
onr fire, and the smaller one disabled.
An attempt to destroy the pontoon was
frustrated by a sharp fire of the rebel
sharpshooters. Forty prisoners were ta
ken, two rebels killed and several wounded.
A train of wagons and mules of one bat
tery grazing on this side of the river were
captured.
Contrabands report that Johnston had
arrived with two trains of troops on the
20th, superseding Bragg, who has retired
to Atlanta. This last statement is cor
roborated by citizens.
A large fire was discovered near Chat
tanooga.
No rebel infantry are north,of the river.
Storm's brigade of cavalry are in the vi
cinity of Smith's Cross Roads, the former
at Kingston preparing for a raid.
Eleven deserters of company (, let
Louisiana, came into Negley's lines last
night. They were detailed lately as a crew
for the rebel steamer of Point Rock.—
They abandoned the steamer on Tuesday,
20 miles below Chattanooga. They report
A. P. Hill's and Polk's corps at Chatta
nooga. They say the demoralization of
the rebel army is complete. 30,000 arm
ed deserters are on Lookout mountain
waiting for our advance.
These men repJrt hundreds of loye
mountaineers engaged in piloting desert
ors through the mountains.

Navy
Sim Yesterday was begun another en•
ries of operations against the enemy's
works. Early in the morning General
flilmore opened all his batteries upon
Fort Sumter, firing over Fort Wagner and
the intermediate space,. About the same
time I moved up the entire available naval
force, leading with my flag in the Wee
hawker, followed by the Catskill, Nahant
and Montauk—the Passaic and Patapsco
in reserve for Sumter. The Ironsides was
in position opposite to Wagner, and the
gunboats named in the margin at long
range, Canandaigua, Captain J. T. Gran;
Mehaski • Commander J. B. Creighton ;
Cimmarron, Commander A. J. Rages;
Ottowa, Lieutenant Commander W. D.
Whiting ; Wiseihicken, Lieutenant Com•
mender ,1, L. Davis; Daching, Lieutenant
Commands'. .1. T. Chapin ; Lodono,
lieutenant Commander S. E. Brodhead.
As the tide rose the Weehawken was
closed to about 450 yards of Wagner, the
other three Monitors followed, and the
Ironside nee as her great depth of water
permitted. After a steady and well direc
ted fire Wagner was silenced, about 9:15
m., and that of oar own vessels was
slackened in consequence.
Meanwhile the fire of our shore bat
teries was working effectually upon the
gorge of Sumter, which appeared to have
been strengthened in every possible man
ner.
Wagner was silenced, and battery
Gregg alone maintained a deliberate fire
at the Passaic and Patapsco.
It was now noon. The men had been
hard at work from daybreak, and needed
rest, so I withdrew the vessels to give
them dinner. During the afternoon our
shore batteries continued the fire at, Fort
Sumter, with little or no reply from the
enemy, and I contented myself with send•
ing np the Passaic and Patapsco to pre
vent Fort Wagner from repairing dama
ges. The fort replied briskly, but in a
brief time left off firing.
The fire of the fort coming in steadily,
observing the tides to have risen a little,
I directed the Weehawken to be carried
in closer, and the anchor was hardly
weighed when I noticed that the Catskill
was also under way, which I remarked to
Capt. Calhoun. It occurred to me that
Capt. Rogers detected the movement of
the Weehawken, and was determined to
be closer to the enemy if possible. My
attention was called off immediately to a
position for the •Weehawken, and soon
after it was reported that the Catskill was
going out of action with a signal flying
that her Captain was disabled. He had
been killed instantly, and necessarily the
occasion impressed .me deeply with the
worth of Capt. Rogers. Brave, intelli•
gent and highly capable, devoted to his
duty and to the flag under which he passed
his life. The country cannot afford to
lose such men. Of a kind and generous
nature he was always prompt to give relief
when he could. I have directed that all
respect be paid to his remains, and the
country will not, 1 am sure, omit to honor
the memory of one who has not spared
his life in this hour of trial.
1 have the honor to be, very reaped
fully, your obedient servant,
