EoiglasKtl am! America.
The Americans are laughed at, says the
Philadelphia ftulleiti, sometimes, by cold
blooded Englishmen, fur caring so much
about the good opinion of foreign countries,
gjjind particularly for their sensitiveness
concerning English opinion. But the trait
5s a good one. It is a sign of the most
exalted form of patriotism, comprehending
pride, affection arid faith. It shows unal- j
terable devotion to our form of Govern
ment, and an intense desire that the mag
nificent experiment of our nationality
hhould be sustained by other nations.
Knglishmen are loyal and patriotic 3 but
they have so long had peace and security
at home, that they cannot appreciate the
passionate devotion to one's Government
that is awakened by a gigautic and rebell
ious effort to destroy it. They do not
know how all true American hearts thrill
at the sight of their insulted flag, and how
determined is the resolve to sustain it,
even at the cost of thousands of lives and
millions on millions of money. To many
of them the American struggle is only one
oi cotton and commerce, and provided
British merchants and spinners can make
money, they are indifferent about the over
throw of a noble and free government, and
the substitution for it of a cluster of sepa
rate anarchies.-
It is not surprising that we, with hearts
swelling with a patriotism unequalled since
that which wrought our great llevolutiou,
should feel insulted and indignant at the
worse than indifference to our cause man
ifested by certain journals and politicians
of England, whose people are of the same
race, and whose institutions were the mod
els of most of our own. Nor is it strange
that we should eagerly hail the receut in
dicatious of a change of views, and the
reported promise of moral support from
the Government of Queen Victoria. It
swas a monstrous thing that a nation, here
tofore the friend and supporter of freedom,
order and good government everywhere,
should be presumed to give even a ncga
tive support to a rebellion which prides
itself on being based upon principles aud
institutions that have always been detested
bv true and loval Englishmen. An alii-
auce between England and the Southern
Confederacy would be as unnatural as an
alliance between the United States and
Dahomey. It would be a blot upon Eng
land's history of which succeeding genera
tions of Englishmen would be forever
ushaiued.
- Happily, there is late and authentic in
formation that the Government of Great
Britain has no intention of favoring the
rebel Government. The ministers seem
to have only lately ai rived at this resolu
tiou, or at least to have only lately cxpres
t-cd it to our Minister in Jxmdon. They
needed further knowledge of the true
nature of our struggle, and this they have
obtained iu various ways. Mr. Adams
bor to them the explicit aud decided in
structions of our Government. Lord Ly
ons has, doubtless, given faithful reports
of all that he has seen in this country
and told his Government that there was
no sham in the rising of this great people
to sustain their flag. The Emperor Na
poleon has, probably, not concealed from
England that his warm sympathies are
with theGovcrnmeutof the United States
and impressed upon them the importance
tf accord between France aud Englanr
ou the subject. There have been assu
ranees also from Prussia, Austria, Russia
Italy, Spain, and the other powers o
Europe, that they looked with abhorrence
n this rebellion, and would never reeog
iizc the pretended Government of Jeff.
Jhivis tv Co. England could not, without
a loss of honor, set herself np as the sole
nation of Europe ready to ountenar.ee a
Government created by treason, rubbery
and perjury, with the single object of
strengtheutujr and perpetuating the insti
tution of slavery.
That England would eventually come
(o this conclusion, we have never doubted
eveu when the editorials of the Loudon
Times and the letters of its special corres
pondent all pointed to a different conclu
sion. Rut she has arrived at it, or rather
has announced it, sooner than wc had
hoped, and this is all the more gratifyiug
aud encouraging. It deprives the rebel
leaders of their chief hope and support.
Unsustaincd bv a word of encouragement
rom England, France, or any other Eu
opean power; with their ports effectually
blockaded; their commerce destroyed;
their agriculture and industry of all kinds
paralyzed ; their property, animate and
inanimate, depreciated more than one half
and the srveat armies of the United States
teadily a nd unrelentingly closing in around
them, the rebel Government cannot long
lold up its head. The war will be ended
and the Union restored even before the
anniversarv of the fall of Sumter, which
is the period saidto have been fixed by
Gen. Scott for finishing his work.
Telegrrapliic Intelligence.
ACQUIA CREEK.
Washisotox, June 5. It is under
stood that Gen. Scott disapproves of
endiug a force to land at Acquia Greek,
he not deeming it a point of sufficient
importance to risk any number of men.
BEAUREGARD AT MANASSAS JUNCTION,
Washington, June G. There is no
doubt that the Traitors are concentrating
in great force at the Manassas Junction of
the Manassas Gap Railroad with the Or
ange and Alexandria Railroad. General
Scott received intelligence last evening of
the arrival at that point of the long-lost
nd much uiscussed General Leauregard.
The information on this point is positive.
Reauregard states that he does not expect
to remain at Manassas Junction more than
two or three days, which may coutcmplate
an advance upon Alexandria, distaut about
forty-five miles, or a retreat should he be
attacked by the column under General
John M'Powell.
ATTACK UPON A REBEL BATTERT.
Fortress Monroe, June C. This
morning the Harriet Lane exchanged
about fifty shots with the Pig Point Rat
tery, nearly opposite Newsport Aews, on
James river. She received two shots,
wounding five men, one of thorn severely
The Harriet Laue was about three-fourths
of a mile from the battery, the seven em
brasures of which disclosed heavy pieces.
Two of the Harriet Lane's shells burst
immediately over them.
SECESSIONIST SHOT.
June G. Clinton lleutch, a wealthy
secessionist of Baltimore, was shot at
WilliamsDort last night. Reutch boasted
that he could whip any Union man living
After his death, a pass signed by his
brother, a prominent secessionist of Mary
land, was found on his person, accrediting
him to Capt. Doyle, an officer of the Rebel
forces at Harper s I'erry.
TOWN DUltNED BY SECESSIONISTS.
New York, June 9. A special dis

The passengers report that the entire
town of Evausport, eleven miles above
Acq ma Creek, was in Haines lhe prop
erty iu the town is principally owned by
Union men.
t1i5 army at chambersburg ad
vance into Maryland.
Ciiambersuuro, June 7. The south
ward inarch of the army collected at this
point commenced' this morning at eight
o'clock, in splendid order and biilliant
appearance. As the head of the column
left the camp, the scene was animated and
imposing the citizens cheering and the
soldiers responding, while the feeling of
both com maimers and troops was full o
hope, courage and animation.
The movement of the remaining foice
here is not known positively, but it is un
derstood that all will be ordered south in
a few days.
THE MOVEMENT ON HARPER'S FERRY.
Washington, June 9. Important
movements have begun. A portion of the
force which moves from this direction to
ward Harper's Ferry, has marched, and
other regiments will soon follow.
Mnjor-General Rauks will take com
mand at Raltimore, while Gen. Cadwalla
der, whom he relieves, leads a column
from the Relay House, to co-operate with
Geueral Patterson s toree, which, will move
bv way both of Uagerstown and Frederick.
General McDowell's command will fully
occupy the attention of the rebels at Ma
nassas Junction, while the-three columns
are inclosing Harper's Ferry.
Messengers from Governor Hicks have
represented to the Administration the ease
with which the rebels at Harper's Ferry
could assail Washington, through Freder
ick and Raltimore, with the aid that they
would be sure to receive at both places,
and begged the Government to beware of
au inroad that might cut off communica
tion with the North. He requested that
Frederick City might be occupied by a
sufficient force, and that the regiments at
Raltimore might receive a reinforcement.
It is more and more evident that so long
as the Virginia rebels are within leach of
Maryland, Washington is not entirely out
of danger. "Whether these results can be
accomplished by the forces now at the
disposal of Gen. Scott, is a question on
which s;ien differ, but' the Government
has determined to put it beyond doubt, by
accepting all full regiments that are offered.
Tlie l'liilippi Rout.
The Wheeling JntelluKn'.-cr gives some
interesting particulars concerning the at
tack on Philippi :
The attacking partv on the Rebel camp
at Philippi consisted ot tour regiments, in
two divisions, one consisting of the 1st
Virginia regiment and part of the 16th
Ohio and 7th Indiana, under the com
mand of Col. Kelly ; the other consisting
of the 9th Indiana and 14th Ohio, under
Col. Lander, of wagon-road and Potter and
Pry or due! notorietv.
Col. Kelly s Division moved east Dy
railroad to Thoi ntown : from thence lie
marched to Philippi, 11 miles. The In
diana regiment moved by railroad to Web
ster, where they were joined by the 14th
Ohio, from which place they pushed tor
ward on foot to i'hilippi, VI miles distant.
The majch of the two divisious was
performed through darkness, rain and
mud.
It was a terrible undertaking, but they
all weu t through it, unshrinkingly and
without complaint. All night they toiled
on through the the darkness and storm,
the soft earth yielding beneath their feet,
till the gray dawn found them in the
neighborhood of the enemy. Col. Lander
reports that he arrived on the hill across
the river below Philippi, and commanding
the town, before daylight.
He at once prepared to open on the
rebels at the appointed time. 4 o'clock
was the hour at which the attack was to
be made simultaneously by both divisions.
Col. Kelly was to attack them in rear and
cut off retreat, while Col. Lander would
assail them iu front, but Col. Kelly's di
vision was behind the appointed hour,
owing to the terrible fatigues of the forced
march, and being misled by guides.
YY hcu day began to dawn upon Col.
Lander's impatient forces, it discovered
to them the camp below in a state of com
motion, evidently in great alarm, and
preparing for fight. The hour appointed
for the fight came and passed, but still
Col. Kelly's Division had not arrived.
Impatient to begin the attack, and fear
ful that the rascals almost within his
grasp should escape without smelling
powder, Col. Lauder ordered his artillery
to begin the attack, and at 44 o'clock the
guns were uulimbered, and dropped the
first messenger of terror into the rebel
camp.
Simultaneously with the roar of the
gun Col. Kelly, at the head of. his com
mand came in sight across the river below
the camp and comprehending the position
ot affairs, lie rushed forward in the direc
tion of the camp. Meanwhile the battery,
having got accurate range, played upon
the camp with marked cflect, tearing
through the tents and houses at a fearful
rate. This the Chivalry could not stand,
and they scattered like rats from a burning
barn, after firiug at random a volley which
did no damage.
Col. Kelly's command was closer after
them, and at the same time Col. Lander's
fnrr r!inr rn;;hinnr ilotcn hr hilr ttp1Ii
like Indians. After chasing them a few
miles, the already exhausted men returned
to the evacuated camp, to learn the pain
ful fact that their victory, though com
plete was dearly bought. Col. Kelhy, who,
with bravery amounting to rashness, was
foremost from first to last, was rallyin
his men in the upper part, of the town
the enemy having all apparently fled, when
he fell by a shot from a concealed foe.-
The assassin was an Assistant-Quarter
master in the Confederate force, named
Sims. lie was immediately' seized.
In the gray uncertain light of the
morning, it was impossible to tell anything
about the loss of the enemy, as they car
ried off their dead and wounded. A leg
which had been torn off by a cannon ball
was idcked up in the camp. There was
a great deal of blood on the srround, aur
all along the road in the direction of their
flight. Hats, blankets, coats, and every
description of luggage were scattered
along the road for more than a mile.
The rebels left behind forty horses, al
.
their provisions, Daggage and camp equi
page, and agood many handsome uniforms
together witti 4U musicets. riot a man
on our side so far as heard from, excep
Colonel Kelly, was hurt.
Tub Southern Munchausen. The
Trite Witness and Sentinel, published at
New Orleaus and Memphis, says:
"According to the statements that come
to us from New York, Philadelphia, and
other places at the North, we learn that
the flag of the United States, the Stars
and the Stripes, has become the sign or
mark by which loyalty to the Lincoln
Government is Known. its moo goes

or, in other words, to display the United

from private carriages and drays ; from
the ladies bonnets and gentlemen s coats

adorn the pulpits ot their churches. Un
less this conspicuous sign is displayed
neither property nor persons are safe.
Even the worship of the great Jehovah
is contaminated with this worship of the
flag ; so that frequently the services of the

We do not understand the rules of legal

prudence which is uonstaiftly quoting pre

and practice and judicial authority nave
become stale and useless repetitions 01
worn cut dogmas, in which the judge can
east display hia learning, and best eover
up his prejudices and his selSsh instincts.
Like most ot common people, we cai.uot
understand why a judge should g back to
the reign of an Lnghsh King to find pre
cedent for the government of a nation of
reemen. We cannot comprehend why an
American magistrate should bu .controlled
by the decision of a Parliament with nei
ther sympathy or affinity with the Ameri
can people. We cannot see why we should
not make as well as follow precedents.
Ncr do wc believe that two-thirds of the
American people, appreciating justice
equally as well as Chief Justice Taney,
tho' not understanding the technicalities
of the legal profession, would pause long
in their comprehension ot the making oi
a sound precedent, had they the leaders
of this rebellion in their possession, mey
would not, like the Chief Justice, explore
the musty pages of history for examples
to justify their release, nor would they
pause for the ceremony of a long charge
and a short verdict, to justify them in
their disposition of these same traitors,
however much they uphold the law and
respect the law-giver. Plain facts are
more powerful than abstruse arguments.
even though such arguments, be adorned
with classic references, polished rhetoric
and brilliant diction. The truth is the
very best construction that can be given
to the law and when we abide by the
truth, the law becomes in every respect
our guardian and our shield. A traitor is
arrested. His crime is notorious. The
effects of that crime were disastrous. He
is imprisoned as a necessity of general
safety an example to other evil-doers, iu
a tune of great public and private appre
hension, when his release would be dan-
erous to the common interests and safety
of the entire nation. VY ith these facts
before the judge able to comprehend
and fully' understand the condition of af
fairs the plots of traitors personally
known to him the effects of treason be
fore his eyes' the fire of the incendiary
almost illuminating his own portals this
same judge, a Chief Justice of the United
States, falters, hesitates and quibbles
hurries back through the dim labyrinths
of his learning, ransacks his lore, pores
over his books, and revives his memory
of stale and ridiculous precedents to en
sure the release of a self-proclaimed trai
tor. If all this effort had been made bT
the Chief Justice to secure the escape of
some poor Avretch who had been persecu
ted by the law's rigors, we might be" in
duced to admire the humanity of the
Judge that would thus use his skill and
his cunning to shield a brother from
punishment; but when this learning and
sagacity and skill are re-trained and be
come emulous to assist the escape of a
traitor, our regard for the law is no less,
nor is our respect for the judiciary dimin
ished; but our confidence in the integrity
of the man is shaken, however verging on
the grave he may be, with a long life of
honor behind -him, this single act, this one
effort is sufficient to dim the brightest
reputation, ana cast a uouot upon tne
purest name that ever was earned by mor
tal man.
After this act of Judge Taney, plain
people may well look around them, aud
safely guard their own households from
the burglar, the assassin and the incendi
ary. We must all look around us, and be
prepared to defend our homos and our
lives aud our families at the point of the
sabre or bayonet more particularly in
times like these, when the construction of
the law is used to mystify fact'?, and where
the highest tribunal in the land has too
palpably become tainted with treason. In
an hour like this, we must give up prec
dent for prompt and steady practice for
a use of the means and resources within
our possession for defence aud preserva
tion. H e can do this and still obey that
law which he who ruus may read and un
derstand.
