THE REACTION
It is becoming more and more nssnffest eve
ry day that a great reaction is going on In the
public mind of tbe country in relation to the
Copperhead dispensation. Tbe "obr sec
ond thought" is doing its good wort, and we
are convinced that the reaction is both Tad ical
and universal. It la not confined alone to out
own land, but in England, also, a great change
has taken place in furor of the Norther States.
Why and bow this result has been brought
about, is not an unimportant consideration.
The policy of the Administration has ever
been to crush the Rebellion. To accomplish
this has been the only and single aim of the
Government from the beginning. The revolt
of the Rebels began tbe war, and their con
tinued assaults upon the Government ha kept
it up. The war has been prosecuted for no
other purpose thin to enforce due and loyal
obedience to the Constitution and laws. Less
than this the Administration and the loyal
people of the country could not havo done
without proving themselves recreant to every
duty, and false to the most sacred trusts. The
opposition to this duty arose from partisan
motives, and has been presecated with Intense
teal. To secure success the public mind was
plied by every possible appeal to partisan pre
judice and popular apprehension, through the
Instrumentalities of falsehoods the most sean
dulous, and misrepresentations tbe most un
blushing. Documents, the most treasonable
and mendacious, were scattered broadcast o
ver the land, and most persistently through
out the Army, for this the Union men were
not prepared. Tbey could not conceive such
monstrous procedure possible, until Its bane
ful influence became too plainly visible. They
were at first abounded and confused; but
they have now rallied, and the poison which
bad been ao sedulonsly and secretly poured
out from the Copperhead press has produced
a reaction that Is speedily assuming power
and consistency.
To sustain this and to procure the triumph
of tbe Union cause, we Deed orqaxixation.
Tbe soundly loyal people have thus far been
acting as but unorganized militia against a
trained band of partisans. Trusting tn the
righteousness of their cause, they presumed
that none so bate could bo found as to attack
its merits, however they might differ as to
means. But it is evident that organization is
Indispensable that the Union hosts at home,
who stand armed with ballots which are to sua
tain the grand array of loyal soldiers who
stand armed with muskets in the field, must,
like them, bo organized. Without orgaoiza
Hon we are powerless with it, we are resist
less. We, therefore, say to our friends, on
OAXIZE ! OROAHIZE !!
THE WAR NEWS.
We have later news from Nassau, N. P
English pirates were passing in and out, coal
Ing and refitting, entirely unobstructed. On
the evening of the 27th of February, tbe Geor
gians, a brig-rigged Iron propeller, a tender
. lo the pirate Alabama ; the Britannia, a side-
wheel iron stenmer, brig rigged and fast ; the
Gertrude, a screw steamer, entered the port
of Nassau within an hour of each other. All
these are Engt'.sh pirates, built with English
money in English ports, furnished with Eng
lish guns sod English powder,manned by Eng
lish sailors, tad sent forth by English specu
lators to rob and burn American ships. No
captain now sees a fire on the ocean without
feeling almost certain that it Is purposely kin
died by a British built pirate to decoy new vic
tims. And Great Britain brags of her neutral
ity f
A special dispatch from Memphis to Cin
cinnati gives tbe brief announcement of a fight
on the Yazoo River, in which the Unionists
were victories, capturing 7,000 prisoners and
eight transports. We give the rumor as it
stands, hoping it may prove perfectly correct.
There are rumors in Cincinnati that the
Rebels have retaken or repossessed Forts Don
elson and Henry. It was stated some days
ago in Louisville that tbe Union troops bad
disarmed and destroyed tbe former fort, which,
if true, may account for the above story.
Cincinnati dispatches say that a skirmish
took place on Wednesday, 12 miles east of
Paris, Ky. One of our forage trains was at
tacked by 50 guerrillas, who were beaten off
by the teamsters and tbe guard. ' The reports
are still conflicting about the Indianola.
From more complete accounts of the cap
lure of tbe Jacob Bell, we learn that all the
property on toard, worth $l,600.000,wa own
ed by English merchants much of It, doubt
less, by the men who built and furnished tbe
corsair Alabama.
Washikotcn, March 12 Dispatches from
Admiral Dupont mention-the capture of tbe
schooner Belle of Nassau by tbe United States
steamer Potomefcs, v blockading in Sapelo
Sound, Ga. She purported to be bound to
Port Royal, but there war found among tbe
papers in the baggage of Richard H. Eccles,
tbe master, a written agreement between him
and tbe owner, F. Opdebeck, who was also on
board, to raa the blockade. Tbe cargo con

THE ;DIRT EATERS."
We give below some extracts from Rebel
papers for the purpose of -showing in what es
timation the so-called "Peace Democrats" of
tbe North are held by the "Secessionists of the
South. The Richmond Dispatch, of January
10th, referring to the efforts of "tte "compro
misers," says :
"Are tbe northern people all natural boru
fools, or are they only stricken with that ju
dicial madness which we are told theods al
ways inflict upon the victims of their wrath
preparatory to their ruin 1 -Can -they -suppose
thai the South are as galless and as IHy-'Hver-ed
as themselves, and that tbey are willing,
for mere considerations of 'interest, to forget
tbe unheardof outrages under which tbey have
suffered. If the whole Yankee Tace should
fall down in the dust to-morrow and pray us
to be their masters, we Would sfHtfrn them even
as slaves. Our only wish is toebe -separated
from them finally and forever never to see
the face of one of them again nevjr to tiear
the voice of another Yankee on tbe "south side
of tbe Potomac or tbe north to have no traf
fic and no intercourse of any description what
ever with them. We are fighting for separa
tion, and we will have it, if it cost the life cf
every man in the Confederate States."
The Richmond Inquirer, of February 16th,
speaking of -the proposition of sending Com
missioners of the Copperhead persuasion to
that City, remarks :
We presume they .(the commissioners) wifl
be told that the first thing they have to do is
to call back their forces to their own country,
that then we tvM be willing to make treaties
with them, butthat a to an union with the
Confederacy, under the "old ing," or any
other, they come two years too late. Two
years, and an abyss of horror and hatred, and
the blood of our slaughtered brothers crying
aloud from the ground, all prohibit that im
pious union. If they repudiate the debt they
have contracted, and abandon the Government
they have established, and recant vows, and
break pledges, and eat dirt, it is well ; we
shall be charmed: tbe movement will suit us
perfectly ; and, although we shall not exactly
respect the actors in that affair, yet we shall
not be unwilling to trade with them holding
our noses a little and to show them all suit
able civilities but at a proper distance."
This is tbe feast of treason p4 the flow of
Ilrt to which the "Commissioners" are to be
invited when tbey Vfsitfefchraond. We should
think that these dishes of Rebel "sauce"
would be quite sufficient to turn the stomach
of an Ostrich or a Copperhead and yet there
are plenty of "Dirt Eaters" who will swallow
the nauseous dose without the twitch cf a
muscle.
A PROCLAMATION.
Executive Mansion,. March 10, 1868.
In pursuance of the twenty-sixth section of
the act of Congress entitled An Act for en
rolling and calling out the national forces and
for other purposes, approved on the 8d of
March, in the year one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty-three', 1, Abraham Lincoln,
President and Commander-in-chief ot the Ar
my and Navy of the United States, do hereby
order and command that all soldiers enlisted
or drafted into the service of the United States
now absent from their regiments without
leave, shall forthwith return to their respec
tive regiments.
And I do hereby declare and proclaim that
all soldiers now absent from their respective
regiments without leave, who shall, on or be
fore the 1st day of April, 1863, report them
selves at any rendezvous designated by the
General Orders of the War Department, No.
58, hereto annexed, may be restored to their
respective regiments without punishment, ex
cept the forfeiture of pay and allowance du
ring their absence ; and all who do not return
within the time above specified shall be arres
ted as deserters and punished aa the law pro
vides.
And whereas, Evil disposed and disloyal per
sons, at sundry places, have enticed and pro
cured soldiers to desert and absent themselves
from their regiments, thereby weakening the
strength of tbe armies and prolonging the war,
giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and cru
elly exposing the gallant and faithful soldiers
remaining in tbe ranks to increased hardships
and danger ;
I do, therefore, call upon all patriotic and
faithful citizens to oppose and resist tbe afore-
mentioned dangerous aud treasonable crimes,
and aid in restoring to their regimenta all sol
diers absent without leave, and to assist In the
execution of the act of Congress for "enrol
ling and calling out the- national forces, and
for other purposes," and to support tbe proper
authorities in the prosecution and punishment
ot offenders against said act, and in suppres
sing tbe insurrection and rebellion.
In testimony whereof I .have hereunto set
my band.
Dono at tbe city of Washington, this 10th
day of March, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and
of tbe independence of the United States the

FEARFUL RIOT IN DETROIT.
The Detroit Free Press of the 6th contains
a detailed acconnt of the riot, which took
place in that city on Friday the 6tb. A ne
gro named Faulkner was tried for a revolting
outrage against the person -of a little white
girl. He was found guilty, and sentenced
to Imprisonment for life. A va-st crowd had
been present during the trial, who had de
termined to hang tbe negro To matter what
his sentence might bo. To prevent this the
Provost guard was called oat to "protect the
Sheriff and prisoner on the way to the jail,
who bad nearly reached tbe jail without mo
lestation when the rioters made a rush for the
negro and came very near rescuing trim. But
he was got into the prison enclosure without
harm. When tbe rush was made for the pris
oner, the guard fired into the crowd and woun
ded several and killed a man named Langer.
Tbe guard afterward returned to the birracks.
The excited crowd, baffled In their attempts
en the prisoner, sought other channels to give
Tent to their malice, and accordingly proceed
ed to destroy the property of ottiur negroes;
of which the Free Press says :
The first bouse where a negro family resi
ded, one end of which was used as a cooper
shop, situated on Beaubein street, was assault
ed with bricks, paving stones, and clubs. A
bout a dozen negroes were at work iu tbe shop
or stopping iu the house at the time. Tbe
most ot them were armed, and tired several
shots into the crowd from the windows, taking
effect in several instances, but not fatally in
juring any one, as far as could be ascertained.
As each shot from the negro hovel revebera
ted through Hie vicinity, the fiendishness of
tire mob became more manifest and their des
peration more dreadful. The firearms in pos
session ot the negroes deterred them from en
tering, for it would have been almost certain
death for any man to attempt it. Any mis
sile that could b) obtained was hurled at the
rendezvous of the negroes, the windows and
doors burst open, and everything destroyed
which could be seen by thos outside. Final
ly .finding they could not be forced out,of their
biding place in any manner, the match of the
incendiary was placed at one end of the build-
W.g. ana io a very sbort time tbe flames
spread so as to envelop almost the entire
building. Tbe scene at this time was one
that baffles description. With the building
a perfect sheet ot livid flame, and outside a
crowd f btocthirsty rioters, some of whom
were standing at tho doors, with revolvers in
their hands, waiting for their, victims to ap
pear, It was a truly pitiable and sickening
sight. The poor wretches inside were almost
frantic with iright. undecided whether to re
main and die by means of the devouring ele
raeut, or suffer the almost certain terrible fate
which awaited them at the bands of the mer
ciless crowd. - Tnere was no more mercy ex-
terded to the suffering creatures than would
bave been shown to a rattlesnake. No tears
could move, no supplications assuage the awful
frerzy and demoniacal spirit ot revenge which
had takeu possession ot that mass of people.
One colored woman made her appearnce at
the door with a little child in her arms, ana
appealed to the mob for mercy. The mon
strous fact must be told, that her tearful ap
peals were met with a shower ot bricks, stones
and clubs, driving herself and the babe in her
arms back into the burning building. At this
juncture, one man, moved to mercy at this
cowardly and inhuman act, rushed to her
assistance, bravely and nobly protecting ber
person from the violence which threatened
ber. But tbe negroes found no such protec
tion. Tbey were driven gradually to the win
dows and doors, where they were murderous
ly assailed by every species of weapons, inclu
ding axes, spades and clubs, and everything
which could be used as a means of attack.
The frightened creatures were, almost as in
sane with terror as their persecutors were
witbmadness. As they came out tbey were
beaten and bruised in a terrible manner, their
shrieks and groans only exciting the mob to
further exertions in their brutal work. Sev
eral of them were knocked down with axes
and left dead, but who afterwards recovered on
ly to be again set upon, and cruelly beaten to
Insensibility.
Tho scenas which followed were of a similar
nature. Old men, eighty years of age, were
not in the least respected, but knocked down
with the same fiendish vindict iveness which
characterized all the other proceedings of the
dty. After the first building bad been redu
ced to ashes, the appetite for arson had Only
been whetted, and not at all appeased. As
night approached they grew bolder, and did
not scruple to commit the worst crimes upon
the calendar with perfect impunity. The
houses on Lafayette street, between Bertitbiefl
and St.A'ntoioe, were litterally sacked Of
their contents, and the furniture piled in the
middle of the street and burned. Then not
satisfied, with having destsovad every vesiage
of furniture, the torch was applied to the
buildings, and nearly the whole of tbe entire
block on both sides of the street, was soon
leveled to the ground.
No sooner was one building burned than an
other was set on fire, some of them several
squares apart. And thus tbe mob continued
its destructive operations nntil some fifty
buildings were consumed. As evening ap
proached the fiendishness of the rioters seem
ed to increase, and they moved down near tbe
centre of the city where they set fire to a lot
of did buildings belonging to poor whitf men,
who are by this misfortune entirely destitute
Tbe corporation authorities fearing the des
truction of the entire City by the mob, tele
graphed to Ypsilanti for a battallion of sol
diers, who Were promptly forwarded, aud reach
ed Detroit by 9 o'clock. The city military
were also called out. On tbe appearance of
tbe military tbe rioters ceased operations and
soon dispersed ; aud at last accounts all was
quiet.
New Jersey Copperheads Rebuked. Tbe
people of New Jersey do not relish tbe pro
ceedings of their Copperhead legislature
Thus, at a meeting in Atlantic county, a day
or two since, the following resolution was a
dopted :
"Wo most emphatically reject both the men
and the peace resolutions ofthe socalled cod
perheads of the New Jersey Legislature, who
are seeking to drag onr State jnto that whirl
pool of rebellion which threatens tbe destruc
tioh of tbe best Government tbe world ever
saw. May their names be inscribed npon the
scroll of infamy, and be banded down to pos
terity side by aide with those of Arnold and
Burr."

A TRUTH PLAINLY PRESENTED-
Xt a serenade, given at the Continental Ho
tel in Philadelphia oh Thursday evening,
March l2th, Gov. Wright of Indiana (a Dem
ocrat) was introduced and made a brieT ad
dress. In referring to the cry "that none but
tbe Democratic party could save the'cotfnfry,"
be asked,
"What class of Democrats do you mean are
to save the country t We have got a past his
tory. Let ns go back and look at it. There
bas been a Democratic party in this country,
but the men composing that party were found
In harmony with tbe Constitution. But even
then there were some ot a false Democracy.
Thomas Jefferson was a genuine Democrat.
Applause. He had a Vice President of the
name of Aaron Burr. Mr. Burr was inside of
the Democratic organization. Laughter.
Were they not both Democrats? Coming
from Jefferson to Jackson, we find that An
drew Jackson had a Vice President named
John C. Calhoun. Was not Calhoun inside
of the Democratic organization as much as
General Jackson bimself? Coming from
Jackson we find Stephen A. Douglass, and
was not be a representative of the old Jefferson-Jackson
Democracy ? At that time tbe
country had a Vice President in the person
of John C. Breckenridge, who was then a
Democrat too. Then we have JeSerson and
Burr, Jackson and Calhoun, and Douglass and
Breckenridge all inside of the Democratic
ring. Laughter. Do you follow Jefferson,
Jackson and Douglass, or Burr, Calhoun and
Breckenridge 1 Do you follow these last 1
Cries of "No, no." The country stood by
President Polk when be had bis troubles, and
now we want the whole people of this country
to stand up for the war. If you are a genuine
Democrat that is what you should do. When
you bear a man saying that the only party that
can save the couutry is the Democratic
party, be sure and ascertain what be means by
tho Democracy, whether it is genuine or bo
gus. There can be no such thing as a trne
Democrat wbodpes not sttnd up for tbe war."
Long applause.

John Van Buren writes to the New York
Htrald as follows :
New York', March 9, 1863. I have Jnst re
ceived the enclosed letter from General Mc-
Clernand, who is in command of our troops
before Vicksburg. Although it is not inten
ded for publication, tbe action of Illinois dem
ocrats excites so much attention that 1 think
the views of General McCIcrnand ought to be
made public. He commanded the Illinois
troops at Fort Donelson, bas served several
terms in Congress, and has tbe reputation of
being one of tbe best soldiers in tbe army.

Before Vicksbcro, Feb. 22, 1863.
Hon. John Van Bcren : Anextract from
your late speech has just come under my no
tice. It has the clear old democratic ring,
and contrasts so strikingly with tbe spurious
emanations of the latter day democratic ira-
posters that I cannot forbear to hail it. It
reminds me of tbe better days of tbe demo
cratic party, when, under the inspirations of
Jackson and your father, its boasted watch
word was "The Union, it must be preserved."
Responsively to that sentiment, I upheld tbe
arms of both those magistrates io tbe extent
of my ability and at the sacrifice of home and
its endearments, and am now bearing arm), a
mid disease and death, against ah armed ene
my who would desecrate it.
Northern peacemongers, who would dishon
or that sentiment by proclaiming an armis
tice in the face of a rebellious and defiant en
emy, but add pussilhnimity to treachery, and
truly, as you energetically say, "will be car
ried away," if not by "the torrent" of public
opiniou, eventually by force of arms. Your
obedient servant, John A. McClarna.nd.

companies of Cherokee Indians are acting as

act in the most horrid manner. Tbe rebel
cavalry scour the country in squads, one Indi
an accompanying each party, in search of
Union conscripts, who are endeavoring to flee

Offered the Indians five dollars for every U
nion man tbey kill. A short time before the
refugees fled, they saw a party of Indian com
ing in with a string ot fourteen ears, which
tbey had cut from the dead bodies of Union
men, this being tbe mode which they bave a-
dopted to count their victims. For each ear
they received five dollars from the rebel com
mander! What punishment will be-severe

the vengeance which our army will wreak. for
all these crimes.

THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE 1803.
Toe New-York Tribc.b, first issued in 1S1I,
now iu its twenty-second year, has obtained both
a larger aud a more widely diffused circulation
than any other newspaper ever published in A
merica. Though it has suffered, in common with
other journals, from the volunteering and depar
ture of tens of thousands of its patrons to serve in
the War for the Union, its circulation on this 6th
of December, 1832, in its follows:
Daily, 50,12j; Semi-Weekly, 17,250; Weekly.
143.000: Afrarrezate. 215,375. Preeminent! v a
journn! of News and of Literature, The Tribune
has political convictions, which are well charac
terized by tbe single word Republics. It is
Republican in its hearty adhesion to the great
truth that -liod has tnaUe of one blood all nations
of men" Republican in its assertion of the equal
aud inalienable rights of all tuen to -life, liber
ty, and the pursuit of happiness" Republican
in its stendfast, earnest, defiant hostility to every
scheme and effort of the Slave Power, from the
Annexation of Texas to tbe great Rebellion to
grasp the empire of the New World and wield
the resources of our country for its own aggran
dixement Republican in its antagonism to tbe
aristocrats and despots of tbe Old World, who
fondly hail in the perils and calamities suddenly
thrust upon us by their American counterpart
tbe overthrow aud ruin of the Model Republic
Republican in its hope and trust, its faith and ef
fort, that this atrocious Rebellion mnst result in
the signal overthrow of its plotters, ana the firm
establishment of equal rights and equal laws
throughout the whole extent of our eoantry,
wherein Liberty and Union shall indeed be '-one
and inseparable'' henceforth and forever.
Tuk Tribune devotes attention in calmer time,
and to some extent in these, to Education. Tem
perance, Agriculture, Inventions, and whatever
else may minister to the spiritual and material
progress and well being of mankind ; but for tbe
present its energies and its columns are mainly
devoted to the invigoration and success of the
War for the Union. Its special correspondent!
accompany every considerable army and report
every important incident of that great struggle
which we trust is soon to result in the signal aud
conclusive triumph of the National arms and in
tbe restoration of Peace and Thrift to our dis
tracted, bleeding country. ' We believe that not
otherwise can a fuller r more aoeurate view of
the progress and character of this momentous con
flict be obtained than through the regular pern
sal of our columns. And we earnestly solicit tbt
cooperation of all friends of the National caue,
which we regard and uphold an that of Universal
Humanity, to aid us in extending its e rculation.
