' The telegraph on Monday announced
the death of .Stephen Arnold Douglas,
which sad event look place at 9 o'clock
in the morning of. that day, in the city of
Chicago. The announcement was not un
expected, however it may elicit the pro
found regret of the nation, as Judge
Douglas had been seriously ill for several
days, and in that time the fact was tele
graphed that his lifo was despaired of by
his family and his friends, At the time
of his' death he was 4G years old, having
been born in Brandon, llutland county,
Vfc., April 23, 1813.
The Harrisburg Tdcjraph says : The
biography of Stephen A. Douglas, when
it is fairly written, will be interesting and
instructive. He commenced his career in
a cabinet-maker's shop, from which ho
entered several academies of learning, and
liavinir removed to the state of Illinois
when very young, where, a year or two
after, he was admitted to the bar, when
not yet twenty-two years of age, ho was
elected by the legislature attorney general
of that state. In December, 1835, he was
elected a member of the legislature of
Illinois, where he commenced that career j
od a parliamentarian and debater fur which
lie since became so eminently distinguish
ed. In 1837 he received the nomination
for Congress, at a time when he was not
yet twenty-five years old, but attained the
requisite age before the day of election
and was defeated by the whig candidate
by a majority of only five votes. In
1840, Mr. Douglas was appointed Secreta
ry of State of Illinois, as a recognition of
the services he rendered his party during
the political struggles of that year. In
1841 the legislature elected him a Supreme
Judge of that State, which position he
resigned in 1818 to accept a second nom
ination for Congress, and was elected after
a spirited contest by a small majority. In
1844 he was re-elected, but did not take
his scat, having been in the meantime
chosen a United States Senator by the
legislature of his State. In the House of
lteprescntativcs, Mr. Douglas gained great
prominency for his support of the 54-40
policy of the Polk admiuistrat'on his
vote and speeches in favor of the annexa
tion of Texas, and other decided measures
of the Democratic administration then in
power. He was chairman of the Commit
tee on Territories which reported the joint
resolution for the admission of Texas, and
after this admission, supported James K.
Polk during the war with Mexico, with
all his peculiar zeal and mental might and
power. As chairman of the Committee
on Territories in the House of l'eprcsen
tatives, and afterwards in the Senate, he
reported bills for the admissiou of the
territories of Minnesota, Oregon, New
Mexico, Utah, "Washington, 'Kansas and
Nebraska, and also the bills for the admis
sion into the Union of the states of Iowa,
Wisconsin, California, Minnesota and Or
egon. On the question of slavery, he op
posed tho interference of Congress, in the
organization of territories or admission of
states, in taking one side or tiie other a
doctrine out of which grew the agitation
in which Mr. Douglas bore such a conspic
uous part, and which has since divided
the Democratic party, aud which led to
the repeal of the 31issouri Compromise.
Whatever may be said now of the policy
of this repeal, it is a fact that Mr. D.mghis
remained faithful to it throughout his
life, defending it whenever it was assailed
or violated.
It is not our purpose to allude to the
political trouble aud contentious into
which. Mr. Douglas was forced neo 1856,
auy further than to declare that he bore
himself bravely and nobly in all his en
counters, lie may have committed wrongs
but they sprang mure from his zeal than
from any purpose to injure his country, or
impair die principles of good government.
He was a partisan of uncoiuproniising
temper in the comuicueci:i'-iit of his ca
icur, but lived to modify hi:j feelings in
this respect, aud wiiLia the la;.t ye ;r wen -1
so far as to ui-rcgard party lines in his
defence of what he considered the safety
;;;id the permanency of his government.
During tho last Presidential contest, he
was the candidate of a wing of the Demo
cratic party, and since then has been the
object of the bitter hatred and opposition
of tho other whig, or that portion which
have been engaged in tho unholy war of
dissolving the American Union.
Of Stephen A. Douglas personally it
would be unjust to omit writing that ho
was a man capable of strong friendships
a bold and defiant enemy a statesman
of the largest mental powers, and, in all
respects, one of the most remarkable men
that the age has" produced. "Wo do not
pretend to write that he had no faults;
nor is it illiberal to assert that he did much
which it would have been best had ho left
undone but we must doliis memory tho
justice of declaring that he accomplished
as much to elevate the American charac
ter, promote American interests, and de
velop American territoryTor purposes of
freedom and free labor, as any statesman
who served his country before him. He
lived to repair any injury ho may have
done his country by his partizan zeal or
indiscretion, by devoting himself to its
protection in the hour of its danger and
the whole country will therefore mourn
his loss.

IMPORTANT FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Cincinnati:!, May 30. The Ohio and
Virginia -troops, under command of Col.
Kelly, occupied Grafton at half past two
o'clock this afternoon, the rebels hav

a shot.
The Indiana Sixth Regiment, under
Col. Crittenden, fully armed and equipped,
arrived here at five o'clock this evening,
and passed through tho city on the way
to Camp Dcnnison, where they encamp
for the night. Their destination is under

enthusiastically greeted.
Another Indiana Regiment passed Day

Mr. Anson Stager has been appointed
superintendent for military purposes of

CONTEMPLATED MOVEMENT OF TUB FED
ERAL TROOPS.
Baltimore, May, 31. Ry well-confirmed
reports, we learn that in addition
to Frederick, "Williamsport and Ilageis
town, Ilannock and Cumberland, Md.,
wore both about to bo occupied by the
federal troops. It would appear evident
that the federal government is determined
as part of its military plans, to take pos
session of the Raltimore and Ohio railroad
as far as Wheeling, Parkersburg, Grafton
and their intermediate points are already
possessed by troops.
This movement, with the occupation of
the points just cited, will leave only the
small territory between Marti nsburg and
the Point of Rocks (between 30 and 40
miles) in possession of the Confederate
troops. It is supposed that the federal
armies are accompanied by corps of sap
pers and miners, with bodies of laborers
to repair destroyed bridges, railroad tracks,
and telegraph lines to be used by the gov
ernment. SECRETARY CAMERON ON THE COXTR V

SECESSION '-SQUELCHED" AT PARKERS
UlUUi, VIRGINIA.
lYrv;siiUHU, June 1.- A gentleman
who accompanied the Ohio troops in their
recent descent upon Parkersburg, states
lliuL 1 1.0 Union iiicu were completely
frantic with joy ou seeing them. Some
of the Secessionists had given out word
that 50,000 men could not land there, but
when the Ohio No. 3 rounded to, with
her decks, guards and roof Liitck with Hue
coats, not a scoundrel was to be seen.
They marched to the beautiful hill back
ot towu, and prepared to encamp. The
occupation of Parkersburg by the United
States troops has put a complete extin
guisher on seccssiou there, and now the
people seem as earnest in their devotion
to the Union as any in the State.
BRILLIANT EXPLOIT RY THE DRAGOONS.
Washington, June 2, 18G1. A gen
tleman direct from the immediate vicinity
of Fairfax Court-House states that during
last night word came into the camp of the
2Sth New York Regiment that the two
dragoons missing from Company R, which
made the sully on Fairfax Court-House
on Saturday morning were captured by the
rebel forces, and were to ba hanged this
morning. Company R was immediately
summoned from their quarters, and mount
ing, rode up to the Court-House, and hav
ing by some means ascertained the precise
location of their imprisoned comrades,
made a dash through the village and re
covered the two men, whom they brought
back in triumph to the camp at day
break. The Confederate prisoners, from the
Court-IIouse, have been brought hither
one of them a son of the late Major Wash
ington, of the army. He said he did not
want to fight against the United States
and made amends by taking the oath of
allegiance. The other four refused to
subscribe to it and were detained.
EXCITING NEWS FROM WESTERN VIR
GINIA. Cincinnati, Juue 3. Two columns of
Virginia and Ohio troops, from Gen. M'
Clelland's command in command of Col.
Kelly, left Grafton last night, and, after
marching during the entire night, sur
prised a camp of rebels two "thousand
strong, at Philippi, Virginia, and routed
them, killing fifteen and capturing a large
amount of arms, horses, ammunition, pro
visions aud camp equipage. The surprise
was complete, and at the last advices the
Federal troops were in hot pursuit of the

FROM WASHINGTON TIIE FEDERAL
CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA.
It is said that there is no truth in the
report that the Government will call out
one hundred thousand more men. There
are now two hundred and fifty thousand
men in tho pay of the Government and
under arms.
It is the fixed determination of the Gov
ernment to have possession of Richmond
by tho 4th of July. For this undertaking
ninety thousand men will move into the
Old Dominion in less than two weeks.
IZ hi gage in cut at AcciIa Cieeli.
Washington, May 31, 1SG1. At noon
to-day, when the Keystone State, an un
armed transport, passed Acquia Creek,
the Freeborn aud Anacosta were engaging
and had almost silenced the battery there,
consisting of six guns, manned by 600
men. On receipt of the intelligence, the
Pawnee was sent down, and the Yankee
ordered to stop on her way to Gen. Rutlor
with despatches and assistance.
The Pocahontas took the Pawnee's
plaso at Alexandria; The Pawnee draws
too much water to get within less than
two miles of the battery, at which distance
her guns would not be very effective.
Capt. Ward of the Freeborn was down
the river to .stop smuggling. The 'Poca
hontas was sent to help him. He has
been itching for a fight and made the
attack on his own responsibility.
Capt. Trcnchard, of the Keystone State,
now at the Navy-Yard, makes the follow
ing statement:
On our way from Old Point to Wash
ington, with despatches, stores, ecc., at
noon we came within sight of Acquia
Creek, where we found the Freeborn and
Anacosta hotly engaged with the batteries,
one of which was near the wharf, and
one in tho valley, a mile from the water.
The battery near the wharf was soon
silenced by the gun3 of the vessels, and
that in the valley, which, when we first
saw it, was most active, although its shot
fell shtrt of the vcs.fcls, appeared to have
been partially sileuecd before we got out
of sight.
The vessels, so far as we could see, were
entirely uninjured. They were under
way, and changing position from time to
time, with the view of selecting the best
points of attack.
We were at no time nearer than two
miles from the vessels, which were, per
haps, three-quarters of a mile from the
landing; and about a hundred yards from
each other. Since we arrived, the Pawnee
mid Pocahontas have been sent down to
participate in the attack.
The Raltimore and Philadelphia and
Philadelphia City ico boats are lying with
steam up at the Navy Yard, ready to take
on board the 71st Regiment, which is
under marching orders at a moment's
warning. All on the Keystone State were
crazy for tho light, but, unfortunately, her
draught of water was so great as to pre
vent their participating in the engagement,
much to their mortification. "
Yvakiunqton, Juno 2. From me??en
gcrs direct this moruiug at ten o'clock
from Acquia Creek, by- the steamer Ana
costa, the following facts arc obtained
relative to tho contest yesterday at Acquia
Creek :
The engagement commenced on Friday,
as heretofore stated, and lasted two hours.
Yesterday it M'as renewed and continued
twice that length of time. Tho lower
or beach battery which had been so
essentially damaged tho day previous,
had meantime been repaired by the Corf
federates in force, it is considered 2,000
strong.
The Freeborn, yesterday approaching
about two miles from tho shore, early in
the afternoon, fired four or five shots, when
the Pawnee entered into the conflict, ta
king a position nearer the land for the
first two hours.
The fire from the shore batteric-3 was
very brisk, but was returned with more
expedition by the 2'awnec. During the
engagement she fired one hundred and
sixty sheila, one of which was seen to
explode immediately over the heads of the
Confederates who were working the bat
tery. The observer through the telescope
saw a number of the bodies of then car
ried away in wagons. During that time
the shore movements wcrejexcecdingly
brisk.
The Freeborn lodged three shells in
succession in the beach battery, percepti
bly damaging the works, which had the
effect of greatly diminishing tho fire.
The Freeborn received two shots, one of
which passed through' the cabin dama
ging some crockery, but not the vessel,
oxcept making a passage through the bul
warks, of slight consequence.
The Pawnee received eight or nine shots,
but all too high to iuflict much damage.
One struck the main top sail yard, which
was thereby unslung, another grazed the
mizzen mast, and one passed through the
hammock nettings. It is the opinion of
the officers on board, that had the Con
federates been provided with good gun
ners, the vessels might probably been sunk.
Some of the Confederate shots passed
over the mast head to the Maryland
shore.
Tho Anacosta returned hero this morn
ing, the Pawnee and Freeborn haul
ing off beyond the range of the enemy's
fire.
The Yankee, which went down on
Friday with dispatches fired a few shot
only, not being prepared for a long con
test. Tho railroad depot and buildings on
shore at Acquia Creek were destroyed.
The damage to the beach battery is not
considered permanent, as the confederates
can soon repair it. It is safe to say that
at least ten or twelve were killed on the
part of the confederates not known how
many wounded. All the officers engaged
in the fight concurred in the opinion that
the confederates have rifle cannon, perhaps
several and in all it is supposed about
cirht guns.
Attorney General, Hon. Wm. M.
Meredith has been appointed Attorney
General of tho State.
Mr. Meredith has been for many years
a prominent lawyer at the Philadelphia
Rar, and is regarded as the leading coun
sellor in a profession that has made the
Rar of that city renowned all over the
country. Ia the administration of Millard
Fillmore, Mr. Mciedith. was Secretary of
the Treasury.
We congratulate the people of Pennsyl
vania ou this appointment, particularly at
this time, when the public service seemed
to bo sinking under a load of dreadful
suspicion. Ry this appointment, too, the
Governor has assured the people that his
administration will be conducted in com
pliance with the pledges and principles on
which he was elected.
Col. Tiios. A. Scott. The Govern
ment has appointed Col. Thomas A. Seott j
Vice President of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, to the rank of Colonel in
tho militia of the District of Columbia,
and detailed him for service as Military
Superintendent of all the Railroad routes
of which the Government may take pos
session of hereafter. This is a most im
portant position, and the Secretary of War
Inw shown much sagacity iu placing
it in tho hands of a most competent
man.
2?" Late dispatches state that the
agents of the rebel government have ex
plored Europe in vain for arms, munitions
or money, to be had in exchange for their
bonds. Mr. Dudley Mann had sought an
interview with Mr. George Pcabody5, with
the hope of negotiating a loau, but had
been politely but firmly repulsed. In no
case had they found their securities mar
ketable at the largest discount they could
offer as a temptation.
Obeying Oiujeus. The Rangor WJu'j
says that during a drill of Captain Bur
ton's six footers, at Oldtown, a few days
ago, while marching upon a platform to
ward the river, where the platform Tim
ed, no order to halt being given they
kept on until ten had jumped into the
river and commenced swimming. Had
not the order been given, tho wholo com
pany would have followed them.
Characteristic Dispatch. Youn
Rrownell, who so summarily executed jus
tice upon the assassin of Coi. Ellsworth
is evidently a man of deeds aud not words!
Here is his brief announcement to his
father of his own heroic act :
"Washington May 24, 1SG1.
"Father: Col. Eilsworth was thot
dead ILL morning. J killed the r.mrdeicr
FRANK."
The preparation which the government
has already made, and which it is v. v
makiug, involves au immense expeuse.
The mere outlay of money is small iu
comparison to the loss of time, the con
sumption without production, and the de
preciation of every description of property.
In view of this immense expenditure of
mouey the waste of time, the demoraliza
tion of character which attends camp life
more or less it is often asked by practical
men, what good, beside the restoration of
tho government, is to be the result of all
those investments and looses? Wc are
bound to admit that the restoration of
peace, the reasscrtion of the law, aud the
recognition once more, at home and abroad,
of our nationality, are great results, almost
incomparable to any achievement we could
make. Rut what security are we to have
after all these arc accomplished, that they
shall continue? What right have we to
expect that the peace which we may en
force at the point of the bayonet, will be
maintained and respected ? We have no
reason to hope that when the government
is placed on a sound foundation, that its
operations are to be harmonious, and its
authority honored, as long as the clement
and the incentive to treason remain iu our
midst, in the person and the example c.
traitors ! Therefore there must be no
more paroles of honor no more offers of
truce no further pauso iu the execution
of a law that is more imperative now than
it ever may again become when traitors
take the field. The federal government
owes it to itself and the country to declare
its policy toward the leaders in this rebell
ion. Proclamation was made that unless
the rebels would lay down their arms in a
given time, force was to be used in procu
ring obedience. Now the question arises,
Will the guilty be punished ?
There is a laAV which fixes a penalty for
treason. That law has been violated.
Traitors abound all over the country. It
is not only those who arc arrayed in hostile
front against the authority of the law, bixt
those who arc endeavoring to impede the
overthrow of the rebels by systematic ef
forts to embarrass the operations of this
government, that deserve punishment
themselves as traitors that merit death
as the penalty of treason. Such as these
will gradually meet the fate which is their
certain doom, but the government should
carry forward the execution of the laws
agaiust the leaders of treason, by offering
reasonable rewards for their arrest, in or
der to have them fairly tried, and when
found guilty and condemned, promptly
executed. Such action would have more
effect on the people of the south who are
tainted with treason, than a dozen brigades
marching over their soil, desolating it in
their passage, and holding thousands of
prisoners until they could be discharged
on their parole of honor. A dozen halters
shaken over the heads of Davis and his
associates would have more effect than a
hundred sabres aud therefore it should
be distinctly understood that every leader
from Davis down -to John Tyler, who is
taken in this struggle, will be strung up
to the nearest tree after the shortest pos
sible drum-head court-martial. Such a
course would be arriving at practical results
in a practical manner, becoming those who
were seeking good aud deserving others
who merit punishment. It would be
achieving victories that would repay the
people for the money and time they have
already expended and wasted. It would
give us the assurance that we could pursue
our greatness uninterrupted hereafter by
similar acts of treasou because if we ex
terminate the breed by hanging the pres
ent race of traitors, we will not again be
compelled to stop trade and business and
labor to quell rebellion. Let it be under
stood, then, that all tho laws are to be
enforced, and that none so imperatively
demand execution as those which fix this
doom of death for traitors.
What the South Says. The Com
mittee on Foreign Relations of the
Jeff. Davis' Congress, in a report on Jeff. 's
Message, thus speaks :
"The South has the institution of Afri
can Slavery, with 4,000,000 of slave?.
Their slaves have no political power. The
white man is a privileged man. lie alone
rules the country : whilst the -offices of
servitude are performed by the slaves.
With tho North it is different. They
have a laboring and dependent class who
perform the services of the slaves in the
South, but they aro voters, with' universal
suffrage j they influence and may control
the elections, and through the elections,
the government. Tho evil day, when
those who own no property will be the
majority at the polls, may be put off for u
time."
The foregoing extract is not the gase
ous product of some hot-headed Southern
editor but it is extracted from a grave
State paper laid before the Southern Con
gress, and may be regarded as the settled
views of the rebel government. Let our
readers among the working men espec
ially "those who own no property," sec
how they are valued. by the very people
whom many of them have heretofore been
aiding at the polls.

While these traitors are carrying Africa
