A Rather Sharp Hit. Wo clip the fcdlow

which some wholesome truths are presented to
(he readers of that parper. The Gtobe says t
"We recelre several papers claiming to bo
Democratic, that are continually scolding a
bout the high taxes necessary to pay the ex
penses oi the war. Theso papers never hint
to their readers the assistance they gave the
Ureckinridge leading Pistmionists In forcing
upon the couttry the evils they how complain
fcf. Had there' been no Secession feeling and
action In the Charleston and Baltiriiora Con

been convicted, shall henceforth cease, and bo
prohibited forever In all the Territories of

INTERESTING WAR NEWS.
From Gen. Balleck'a Departmrat
Fittsbcrq Landing, May 14. It is not ex
pected that an attack would be made on the
enemy's position for several days. Our sieger
guna are not In position. Gen. Ilalleck is
still advancing cautiously, carefully fortifying
as be advances. All his movements predica
ted on the supposition that tho enemy is in
large force at Corinth, and that he intends ma
king a stand. Grand Junction is being forti
fied by Beauregard with the evident intention
of failing back there if beaten ot Corinth.
The number of the enemy's troops is estima
ted at Hallcck's headquarters from one hun
dred and twenty to ol-o hundred and seventy
thousand. Fifty-seven privates, tnree corpo
rals and one sergeant captured at Dresden,
Tennessee, are coming iu under a flag of truce,
an equal number will ba sent to-morrow in
exchange.
Chicago, May 15. A special dispatch by
the steamer City of Memphis from Pittsburg
Landing says that on Monday, two rebel regi
ments from Kentucky and Tennessee attempt
ed to desert and come over en masse to the
United States army. Ttio enemy held them
in check and a mutiny ensued. A strong
force from our advanced lines was sent over
to interfere and in a short time returned with
sixty prisoners mostly from the ranks of the
deserting regiments. They give a doleful ac
count of afiairs in Beauregard's army, and
confirm the previous accounts that the tro3ps
from tho border Slates aro nnxiouS to return
to their former allegiance. The deserters say
there is plenty of subsistence St Corinth.

COBRESFONBENCE OF THE "JOURNAL'.'
Washington, May 13, 1862.
Editor Journal : Washington bas, for the
past four days, been very lively. The ncwa
of our recent brilliant victories seems to nave
lit up a new blaze of enthusiasm.
Tho war news up to date, is of the most
cheering character. Every division of the
army seems to vie In the endeavor to make
the most rapid and successful advance. Sim
ultaneous with the advance on Norfolk and
Portsmouth, and the destruction of the "Mer
rimac," the great corps de armee, commenced
to movo forward again. M'Clellan is up with
tho rebels a New Market, Va., 17 miles from
Richmond Banks and McDowell will soon
form a. unction, and advance upon their flank
while McClellan engages tho centre; and Fre
mont will como down in forco to their left.
Burnside threatening Goldsboro' will prevent
the rebels from withdrawing any of their forces
from North Carolina.
A desperate struggle seems inevitable at
Corinth. LovelPs forces, numbering 80,000
effected a junction with Jieaurogard ; thereby
swelling bis force to over 100,000. The coun
try need have no fears, however, for tho suc
cess of Halleck's division. The powers that
be have the most unbounded confidence in
him, and men will not bo wanting to ovetcome
the enemy's forces. If our army continues to
meet with success in the next engagement,
you may look forward to a speedy termina
tion of the war. Tbo soldiers of the enemy's
largo army already begin to'soo the hopeless
ness of their cause, and tho impossibility of
their holding their positions Under tho most
favorable auspices. Tho evacuation of their
most important strategic points and most form,
idahls dfefiCeS, will ultimately destroy all
confidence tho soldiers have in their leaders,
8 well ss demoralize their entire army. They
may fall back Into the Cotton States, destroy
all railroad communication, etc, and by that
hiean4 endeavor to prolong tho war Until next
Winter. But that seems impossible. The wf

As I looked down from tho gallery info tha
House, I noticed the scat of Hon. John Patton
vacant. I made inquiry of tho door-keeper
where lie was, and recei vedfin answer, "home j
sick." We hope soon again to seo him back
in his old seat, for no meinour in tho House
has been more active and eflicient and atten
tive shirking no responsibility and dodging
no vote, tlis record stands before tho coun
try nnd bis constituency as a trim record of
his patriotism. When tho voto camo to bo
taken, on tho action of Hon. Simcn Cameron
on tho contracts, etc., (Jen. P's course was
straight-forward. Though n warm . political
and personal friend of Cameron's, ho rose a
bove the prejudices of party, and voted to
censure, not Simon Cameron as a man bo
causo ho had no greater friend than Gen. P
but the Secretary of War whoso acts brought
down this vote of disapproval. It was done
to pruvent tho Secretary of War, in tbo future,
from conducting tho military affairs of tha na
tion loosely to prevent a wanton waste of tho
People's money and to stand as a warning,
to all thoso who have been placed high In au
thority, against their committing any wastu
of tho public funds. Some exceptions may bo
taken to Mr, Pntton's rote by politicians, but
tho people will stand by him.
(Jen. Patton's speech In tbo House, on tho
confiscation of Kubel property, needs to bo
rend by every ona. It Is a manly effort, and
bis logical views and sounds deduction upon
tho interests of tho Morder and Free States as
Identical, commend themselves to ono and all,
of every party. Wo deem it but an act of
Justko to refer to Mr. Patton In this letter,
In the connection we Imvo.
The weather Is remarkably warm. On our
way from tho Capitol wo stopped and. took a
seat tindei ono of tl.o largo maplo trnei In
tbo Capitol grounds. Tho surrounding scenes
weio beautiful. Tho grass green and growing
tho trees covered with a donso foliage tbo
flowers In bloom and redolent with boauty,
and tho air fragrant with thuir sweet brualh
and that of tho locust blooms. The fair maid
on with Iter dashing beau, tbo Statesman, tho
soldier, and nearly every phase of humanity
were attracted hero to linger and io ndmtre.
A wo sat there In wonted security, and look

Capitol, w know It protected us ns welUas
the law makers, upon whoso wisdom depend
ed tho weal or Iho woo of tho nation. A sol
dier said to mo, I ftsk no greater boon, no
purer thought than, when I die, to know that
myoountry's flag waves over that building.
How much has the old Keyslono helped to

Camt AT FAi,Mot-Til,Vn., May 12, 1802.
Dkau Bow i 1 Vvnturo once tuoro Io write
lo you from the cvnecruttl toll, in acknowl
odginetit of tho numerous favors you bavo
conferred upon me since I have boon follow.
Ing my present vocation In this Stftto. it
would bo aupeifltious to tecognlo thu "Moth
er of Presidents" by ony of the euphonious
titles of antiquity, at the present time for,
since tho stunning blows which bavo boon
dealt out upon the devoted head of the seces
sion monster At Yorktown, Williamsburg and
West Point, by tho noblo army of McClollun,
wo may rest assured that tbo ordeal Is well
nigh pMNsud. The Notlona pulso boats auslor,
and the term "consecrated'' finds an appro
priate application at the prosont limo.
Baptized with patriot blood, no man to-day,
who has suffered his mind to keep pace with
the stupendous achievements of tho last four
or five weeks, can fail to discern, that the
groat south-wont together with the "Old Do
minion" is alroady, now, and forever conso
crated to humanity to civil and religious
liberty.
Not only has tbo array and Navy been strik
ing successful blows at the source of this great
rebellion, but oontemporaneous with them,
have tho representatives of tbe people, Io the
councils of tbo nation, been earnestly and
faithfully working to restore tbe equilibrium
of tbo almoet universal ud popular feeling
which pervades the miDds of tbe masses, by
rendering freedom oational, and slavery sec
tional, wherever the General Government has
undoubted and exclusive control.
If African slavery bas been thi prime mov
er and canse of all our present national troub
les, aDd has consequently caused hundreds of
thousands of our people having no affiliation,
and caring nothing for the institution, save
to denounce it as a great moral wrong to
leave their homes to tear themselves away
from tho bosom of their families, and to offer
up their lives a willing sacrifice upon the alter
of their country, in order that the Union of
theso States might remain intact if these
things he true, then, that man is travelling
far behind the ago of progress and civilization
who supposes that a lasting and permanent
peace can ever be maintained between the
now contending sections of our country, while
the national Government gives its fostering
care and protection to this inhuman and bar
barous institution. It can not bo done. It
is ono of the impossibilities of our nature.
To attempt to curb the angry torrent of a
swelling river without tho power to remove
the source, is sheer folly and madness. To
check tbe spirit of rebellion, which broods
traitors by tbo score, is equal madness, unless
we direct our shafts directly at the root, the
canso from where all tho evil flows.
But, on the other band, let our Government
concentrate its eflort, to tho destruction of
the branches, let tbe fugitive slave-law bo
deprived a place in tbo archives of the nation
let tho people through their representatives
ignore all existing statues recognising slavery
in' tlua Territories of the West, prohibiting
it in those pails of tho States over which the
government has exclusive control, ami I ven
ture the flsertiofi that in ten years the whole
system will dwindle and die fiom its own iner
tia. Universal emancipation Is hot my theme
neither do 1 ndioit tbe justico of using too
freely the people's money to purclmso the
slaves of loyal men, because 1 look Upon tho
destruction of the institution as it foregone

Wa buvo now, thank God I a free capital,
where no unfeeling monster dares to bold des
potic sway over any portion of thu human race,
and may wo not look forward with hopo to
the timif when all tho border Status, at Icsut
will ba willing to accept tho proposition o
the president as tossed by Congress. Already
have Delaware and Maryland signalized their
willingness, to avail themselves oi thu law.
They sen that the institution is fearfully on
tbe decline their property in man having al
ready depreciated mora than fifty per cent in
market value hence they are now anxious and
willing to accept what they can get.
1 havo endeavored to learn aomething of
the feeling in this section of Virginia relative
to thu effects of this war upon tho institution,
and so lar as my observation extends, thero
appears to be no desire to repossess thoso who
have mado their way to our line, as the ideas
of freedom they have thus acquired would
render them of more trouble than their labor
would bo worth.
Tho work of our army goes bravely on.
Lust night we had a dispatch that Norfolk
was In our hands, and the Merrimau was blown
up bj' tho rebels. McClellan is beleaguer
ing Richmond, and boon wo may bear that bo
is in undisputed possession.
It is said that there are 85,000 rebels within
ten miles of Fredericksburg, and threaten to
uttack us in our position; but by tbo time
they get within hailing distance of our lines,
which aro now rapidly converging, they may
suddenly think that the attnopheru that is
breathed by 100,000 freemen may not at all bo
suitable to their cliivalric tastes. Wu look
now for a speedy termination of tho war, and
hopo that ero tho anniversary of our Nation's
birth will. have rolled away, tha hosts of free
