All doubts as to the capture of the great'artery which guards the Southern passes of the Mississippi New Orleans are dissipated by the official announce ment in Southern newspapers of the with drawal therefrom of the Rebel army un der Gen. Lovell, and its occupation by the Union forces. The consternation per vading Secessia at the event may be im agined, but not described. The doom of the sham Confederacy is forshadowed by the intelligence, and "J. D." and his unholy crew behold their cherished vis ions of self-aggrandizement at the expense of honor and honesty vanish into thin air. With the Key of the Southwest as ours, and the Rebels pressed upon all eides at the North, and cut ofi from re treat and all hope of succor, the Rebel lion may be said to be virtually a failure. The Slaveholders' emcute is about to be crushed beneath the upper and the neth er mill-stones of the great Union army. On the North our powerful flotilla mena ces the commercial capital of Tennessee", and oti the South, while the loyal senti ment of the Crescent City is disenthralled, and it can shout in gladness, Recovered is the town of Orleans, More blessed hope ue'er did befall our Etite: there is nothing which can prevent the advance of the large fleets of Pouter, and Farragut up the river to sweep from the bosom of "'the father of waters" eve ry remnant of the wicked conspiracy which has incarnadined its former peaceful flow. In no part of its programme of operations did secession commit a more grave error than in presuming that it could make a Skaggerack, a Cattegat, or an Elsinore at any point of the Mississippi, and there, after the late custom of Denmark, exact dues from all passing vessels and every ton of freight they contained. It was a stupid blunder to suppose that the North western and the Middle States coulfl feel a compression of their great aorta, which might stop the pulsations of the ventric ular lakes and arrest the flow of the arte rial rivers, without a gigantic effort to re sist it. If England shuddered ''in the interests of civilization" at the temporary Etone blockade of Atlantic harbors, what has the world thought of tho effort to seal up hermetically a river, the affluents of which encircle our whole continent, and which presents the only egress for the in land navigation of nearly two-thirds of the States of the Uuion ? Through the Illinois and Michigan canal the waters of the St. Lawrence are joined to those of the Mississippi, and the union assumes an insular position. It was not to be expec ted that the commerce of our country in circumnavigating any portion of its boun dary should encouuter toll-gates or cus-tom-houses to impede it. Frenzy never impelled a more suicidal act, nor madness a more confirmed exhibition of lunacy ; the very intensity of the efforts balked their effect ; the strength of the nation was aroused to bind down the furious ma niac?, and they lie subdued at the mercy of the government they have outraged. The Mississippi is again unlocked and the key is now in Icyal hands, never to be again surrendered to traitors. We hold the upper river and its debouches at the Gulf of Mexico, so that all the inter vening points must speedily fall into our possession, as Porter ascends and Foote descends the stream. The sugar planta tions of Louisiana are redeemed from the usurpation of military - ferocity, and' the cotiwo States of Arkansas and Mississippi will soon be relieved fiom the blockade which has kept their produce, at a ruin ous loss, from its natural markets. In a few weeks steamboats will be running to i New Orleans again from Pittsburg, Cin cinnati, St. Lous, Louisville, and all olh- J er points; their eteam whistles will blow their national salutes to Dixie, and calli opes reverberate along the levees the al most forgotten notes of the Star Spangled Banner, lhe trade ot the .Mississippi j which has been closed for eo many months t will soon be re opened, and let us hope, that, with re-established business associa there way spring up au era of le i ter feeling and a determination to forget the past, and strive together vigorously in tho future for the preservation of that Union which has made us the most proud, happy, and prosperous nation on the foot stool of the Almighty. YOllitOVWI. The news of the evacuation of York town, so startling, so glorious, and, in a degree, so unexpected, will surprise both loyalists and .traitors. But .while the former will hail it as the herald of return ing peace, the promise of a mighty land restored to greatness, and a new proof of the immutability of the Union, the latter, overwhelmed with dismay, and so terribly awakened to the maduess of their guilt, must shortly abandon a struggle so hope less in its aspect, and quietly lay down their arms. The army which we have driven from York town can be an army now in little but name and numbers. It is disheartened, dispirited, and defeated. It is convinced that its leaders, to use the language of Jefferson Davis, ''have under taken more thau they can accomplish," and we should not be surprised to hear of it3 abaudonment before many months have passed. The Philadelphia Press thus comments upon the glorious achievement : After months of confident preparation, after the laborious building of fortifications, and the mounting of hundreds uf heavy guns, after the transportation of thousands of trains of supplies aud ammunition to this depot, after the concentration of the "flower" of rebeldom into one of the grand est armies that the world has ever wit nessed after all the boastings of the South, aud the anxiety, not to say trepida tion, of the more desponding in the North, the prospect ot a bloody victory has passed away, with the flight of a wily and craven enemy. That the laurels of our couquest are not bloodied can take but little from their brightness; though, had it been our destiny to have made the peuinsula of Yorktown a terrible Aceldama, no son, or brother, or father, in the besieging army would not have gladly made himself a martyr in the van ; no mother, wife, or sister, but would have heard the worst with more than resignation. It will not be pretended that this achievement, which must stand unparalleled in ancient or modern warfare, could not have been still more disastrous to the foe more inglorious it scarcely could have been. But the doom of the Confederacy is now irrevocably sealed, and whether its demise becomes a question of mouths or weeks can matter little, in so far as the great result the restoration of the Union and of peace is concerned. The army of the Potomac has done nobly ; possibly it has surprised itself with the sudden success which has crowned its anxious, paticut weeks of seeming inactivity ; and if results more startling and complete might possibly have been attained, it will likewise reflect that unforeseen events, or unexpected succor to the enemy, might at the same time have made the issue much more hazardous. We see the beginning of the end more clearly now than we could a week ago, or even yesterday. Yorktown in itself is of sumll account, but its occupation confes sedly restores to us the entire State of Virginia providing, however, that the blow is followed up, before the enemy can gain time to establish themselves in anew position. Pennsylvania feels proud of her general, whose skill has compassed what might ehc have dearly cost the nation's blood and valor, and she feels sure that his pledge to "pursue the enemy to the wall" will be speedily and sublimely redeemed. mi . TSie Confiscation Question. To the Editor of The Alleghanian : I was surprised at seeing in your issue of 3d Apul, a communication from "A Republi can '' defending Senator Cowan's speech on the Confiscation Bill. In the course of his remarks, he atks: "Shall we stand or fall by the Constitution?"' As alo : "Shall a largrc class of persons be deprived of their property without any presentment hy a Grand Jury, and without any trial by a 1'etit Jury in Court?'' Now. is it not absurd to talk of bringing all the Uebelj before a Grand Jury and into Court? How can you arrest and try them, when, as a band of outlaws, they repudiate the Constitution itself? I prant that, had President Buchanan done his duty us Chief Magistrate aud sent a sufficient force to South Carolina at the commencement of the Rebellion, the leaders might have been arrested, and had a trial by Jury. But now, after thousands of lives have been sacrificed, it is too late! To niet the present case, the Constitution says trat the President shall be the Grand Jury nnd United States Attorney, and the Army the Traverse Jury and executioners. There i also a law iu force providing, as a punishment for certain crimen, that the prop erty of the convicted be forfeited to the Gov ernment. Why, then, should not the proper tv of Rebels be confiscated to help paythe expenses of the wr ? . I hope that Cowan and your correspondent are not sympathizers with the Rebels. ALSO A REPUBLICAN'. Earssscno, ilcj 5, J8'i2. j The Bcbel Retreat f rom lork- totvn. Fortress Monroe, May 4. York town was evacuated by the rebels last night, and our troops now occupy the en emy's works. A large amount of camp equipage and guns, which they could not destroy for fear of being seen, were left behind. Gen. M'Clellan's dispatch to Secretary Stanton, dated May 4, 9 o'clock, A. M., says : "We have the enemy's ramparts, their guns, ammunition, camp equipage, etc., and hold the entire line of his works, which the engineers report as being very strong. I have thrown all my cavalry and horse artillery in pursuit, supported by infantry. I move Gen. Franklin's di vision and as much more as I iau by wa ter up to West Point to-day. No time shall be lost. Our gunboats have gone up York river. Gloucester is also in our possession. I shall pursue the enemy to the wall." On Monday, May 4th, the correspon dent of the Associated Press entered the enemy's works, which they had deserted tour hours before, and lurnishes the fol lowing particulars : Everything was found to be iu utter confusion. Between foity aud fifty pieces of heavy artillery were found in their works, after being spiked, together with an immeuse amount of ammunition, med ical stores, &.G. Several deserters have succeeded in ruuniug into our lines, who state that the rebels evacuated the place owing to tho near approach of our paral lels, covering the immense siege works of our men. That they feared the success of the Union gunboats, in the Yoik and James rivers, by means ct which their communication with the cuter world would be cut off. The orJer to evacuate was given by Gen. Johnston, on Thurs day, to commence the foliowiug morning, which was accordingly done. Gen. Ma gruder is. said to ltave most strenuously opposed the measure, stating that if they could not whip the Federals here, there "was no other place in Virginia where they could, aud that he swore in tire presence of his men, who vociferously cheered him, losing complete control of himself. Gen. llobert K. Lee, the Commander-in-Chief, arrived in Yorktown on Wednes day, and minutely examiued the works of M'Clellan, when he is supposed to have recommended the abaudonment of the works, deeming them untenable. The deserters all agree in stating that their troops were very much demoralized and dissatisfied when the order was made pub lic, as they all anticipated having an en gagement at that point. They also agree in the statement that the rebels had 100, 000 meu on the Peuinsula, with 400 pier ces of field art'llery. A large force, un der Gen. Stonemau, consisting of cavalry, artillery and infantry, are on the advance, and will probably come up with the rear of the enemy belore night, if they remain near Williamsburg. The gunboats have passed above Yorktown, and are now shel ling the shore on their way up. Follow- injr them is a large steamer anu vessels loaded with troops, who will effect a lan ding. Only one man was left in York town, and he was a negro. Gen. Janie fon and Col. Samuel Black were the first to enter the enemy's works. The oulv casualty that occurred was the killing of two men and wounding of three by the explosion of a concealed shell within the enemy's works. The works are very ex tensive, and show that they were design ed by scientific engineers. An official report, just made to head quarters, shows that the enemy left sev enty guns in the works at Gloucester Point. Inside the fortifications, and all along the Williamsburg road, on which they are retreating, they, have buried tor pedoes and percussion shell,' which are constantly exploding and injuriug persons. The baggage of Geueral Joseph E. John ston has been captured. Latest. The War Department has received the following dispatch from Gen. M'Clellan: "Our cavalry and horse ar tillery came up with the enemy's rear guard in their entrenchments about two miles this side of Williamsburg. A brisk fight ensued. Just as my aid left, Gen Smith's division of infantry arrived on the ground, and 1 presume he carried his work through. I have not yet heard. The enamy's rear is strong, but I have force enough up there to answer all pur poses. We have thus far seventy-one heavy guns, large amounts of tents, etc. All along, the works prove to have been most formidable, and I am now fully satisfied of the correctness of the course I have pursued. The success is brilliant, and you may rest assured that its effects will be of the greatest importance. There shall be no delay in following up the re bels. They have been guilty of the most murderous and barbarous conduct, in pla cing torpedoes within the abandoned works, near wells, near springs, near flag staffs, nagazines, telegraph offices, in carpet bags, barrels of flour, &c. Fortu nately ve have not lost many men in this manner, . some four or five killed, and perhaps a dozen wounded. I shall makej the prisoners remove them at their own peril."" 63" A thousand dollars is the price now paid iu the Southern Confederacy for substitutes under the conscript law. A few months ago plenty of it could je had at fifty dollars per head. So the price has increased twenty fold, and we presume the time will soon come when the conscripts will not be able to effect negotiations upon any terms. The more the rebels see of the way our troops fight, the leM thpy like it. General War .e. A -dispatch from Cairo announces the capture of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It will be remembered that there is a United States Arsenal at this place, which was taken possession of by the Rebels more than a year ago, early in the rebellion. It is evident that the fleet from New Or leans is moving up the river. Another dispatch announces important movements near Corinth which are not yet permitted to be made public. Purdy, however, which is between Corinth tmd Pittsburg, and which was occupied by the left wing of the enemy, has been taken possession of by the Uuited States forces, aud it is supposed that an engagement would soon occur. Iu relation to tho bombardment and surrender of Fort Macon, the following dispatch has been received from Balti more : The preparation.? for the bom bardment of Fort Macon were complete on Wednesday night, but the order to fire was not given till 5 o'clock on Fri day morning, when a shot was fired from one of the thirty pounder Parrott gun3. Shells from the ten and eight inch mor tar batteries followed, and the firing on our side at once became regular and un interrupted. The fort replied with the first gun at six o'clock, and contiuued till its pieces were silenced by salvos of three or four at a time, until four o'clock in the afternoon when a white flag was hoisted. The hoisting of the white flag was fol lowed by a conference with Gen. Parke, j and a suspension of hostilities until next J morning. Duriug the niht a proposi- tion lor the surrender of the fort was com - municated to Gen. Burnside, aud iu the morning the articles of capitulatiou werc sigued. The garrison surrendered as prisoners of war, and were released on pa role, and allowed to take their private ef fects with them. The officers retained their side arms. These were the terms originally proposed by Geu. Parke but refused by Col. White. The commander of the fort, 60 guns, 20,000 pounds of powder, shot and shell iu proportion, 400 stand of arms, and 400 prisoners were ta ken. The fire of our batteries dismoun ted thirteen guns, and tore up the. glacis and rampart iu the most effective manner. Of 1,100 shot and shell thrown at the fort 550 struck the work. Gen. Burn fide, in a general order congratulating Gen. Parke ou his victory, commands that the name of Fort Macon be inscri bed on the colors of the 4th and 5th Rhode Island, and feth Connecticut regi ments. The rebel loss was 1G killed and 40 wounded. There was no loss ou the Federal side. Gen. Mitchell telegraphs from Hunts ville, Ala., that on Wednesday last the enemy attacked one of his brigades, aud he led in person the expedition against Bridgeport. He founJ that his pickets had driven the rebel pickets across ths stream. Advancing to the bridge, he opened fire on the rebel pickets on the other side, giving the enemy the impas sion that he was intending to cross'at that point. The entire force was then thrown across the country about a mile, and put on the road leading from Steven son to Bridgeport. The middle column then advanced at a rapid pace, and our scouts attacked acd routed those of the enemy. Line of battle was then formed in frontof the works, to defend the bridge, upon which the rebels broke andjran. They attempted to fire the bridge, but were prevented by our troop1 ?. General Mitchell concludes by sayiug that over all of Alabama north of the Tennessee river, there floats no flag but that of the Union. A dispatch from Cairo dated the 4th, says : Intelligence from the army before Corinth lias been received up to six o'clock last night. Gen. llalleck has removed his headquarters twelve miles toward the front of our advance, and with in two miles of the enemy's works. The entire column is still pushing forward. Skirmishes between the advance and the rebels are of daily occurrence, the latter making but a slight show of resistance, and then falling back. On Thursday, four hundred Germans, from a Louisiana regiment, who had been sent out from the rebel camp, on guard duty, came into our lines in a body, with white flags on their guns, and gave themselves up as deserters. Two deserters say that Gen. Lovell's advance was at Grenada, Miss., fortifying that place, which is naturally a slroug position. They also confirm the report of Beauregard being reinforced from all parts of the Gulf States, mer chants and business men having closed their stores and flocked to his standard. A ve fusee came in from Vicksburg, Miss., having left Memphis on Thursday. He states that when the particulars of the fall of New Oi lcans reached Memphis, it produced the utmost excitement and con sternation, and thousands fled into the interior. A large number of rebel steam boats had gone up White river for safety. It was believed iti Memphis that Commo dore Farragut's fleet would come up the river as far as that city. A Federal boat was fired on by rebel cavalry six miles below Savannah, aud five soldiers were wounded The gunboat Tyler immediate ly went and shelled the woods, and the people of the vicinity wore notified that their property would be burned on a repetition of the occurrence. Gen. Pope reports to Gen. llalleck, in a dispatch dated the l!d,near Fannington, that a rcconnoisance sent toward that place found the enemy, 4,500 strong, and four pieces of artillery. They advanced to the assault, and, after a severe fiirht of about an hour, succeeded in carrying the rebel?' position. Strange. While the loyal people of Virginia and many other Slave States regard witli fa vor President Lincoln's policy of emm cipation of the slave population of this country for the purpose of getting rid of an evil curse that is incalculable, a large portion of the Democratic party seem to be most bitter against this great measure. They seem tc be as strongly in favor of the institution of slavery as the rebels of the southern and rebellious states. They seem to think that it is the corner stone ot this great Republic. The great trouble with them is the question of ruliug. The Democratic party, that has been in power frequently, and gained that power through the institution of slavery, cannot think it possible that that institution cannot still be made the hobby upon which to ride into power and control the affairs of the Government." It is time for the indepen dent voters of this country to take into consideration the style and principles of the party that truckled to southern influ ence. It cannot be denied that the Dem ocratic party has doue so for .years and are still doing so. That, in a great meas ure, aided in bringing about the present rebellion the great troubles of the country aud that is still assisting iu continuing ! the same. This may be said to be all bosh; but it is only too true that the re bellious portion of the country were de pendent upon, and we feel satisfied were promised, aid from the Northern states in c'ise of a rebellion. Had they never re ceived any promiee of this kind from men j of the North they-never would have en- j tered into an engagement such as the present rebellion. Then, it that be the case, which we have very little re?.sou to doubt, who arc the parties that would be most likely to promise them aid Irom the North ? Could it be the Republicau party ? Certainly not, because there are no Renublicaus engaged in the cause of the destruction of this Government. Who then could it rest upon ? We cannot conceive that it was auy ether than that portion of the Democratic party which supported John C. Breckinridge. The party that was so zealous in his promotion to the Presidency. Tho whola scheme wrfj concocted, aud as soon as the an nouncement was made that their favorite, and the only man they wished elected was defeated they acted iu violation of the Constitution and laws of United States. No sooner than the defeat of that traitor was made known did the slave power turn their guns, stolen from the general Gov ernment, upon Fort Sumter. And no soouer thau that was done did many of the followers of John C. Breckinridge, of the North, say they wished every brick would be battered down.- This was not only the expression of one or two, but of quite a number. Thank our Creator, however, many of such have since repen ted of their fjlly. The number, however great it may have beeu at one time, soon dwindled down to a few uuder the strong arm of the "Government. The great force that offered their services in support of the Constitutiou and the enforcement of the laws of our country taught them oth erwise. Such persons were mum very soon. Yet they are still to be found. They think, but not aloud. We do not wish to be understood as charging all Democrats with such criminal acts, but merely the maiu leaders of the party those who controlled the entire affairs of the Government while the Democratic party was in power. We know there are a large number of Democrats who are as loyal as the original founders of this Re public, but they had better be very care ful that the leaders now about to control the party Vallaxdicham t Co. do not lead them into the same error of which the party was guilty a few years since that of conspiring with the South for the purpose of destroying the Govern ment.

"j llAiuttsBCiiG, April 30, 1861. In acknowledgment of the gallantry of the Seventy-seventh Regiment of luian try, Pennsylvania olunteers, Colonel F. S. Stambaugh, commanding, at Shiloh, Tennessee, and of the First Regiment of Cavalry, Pennsylvania volunteers, Colonel George D. Bayard, commanding, at Fal mouth, Va., it is ordered that "Shiloh, April 7th, 1802," shall be inscribed on the flag of the Seventy-seventh Regiment of Infantry, and that "Falmouth, April 18th, 1SG2," be inscribed on the flag ot the First Regiment of Cavalry, aud that this order be read at the head of all the regiments of Pennsylvania "volunteers. By order of A. G. Curtin, Gov. and Couimaudcr-in-Chicf. &-f Pennsylvania h;. lcs rtyimntts in the field than New York, and yet Penn sylvania, has more nu:u in the service of the country. This is accounted for by the fact that the New York regiments are all below the maximum number of those from this State, and thus, with less men thau Pennsylvania it requires more money to pay the New York troops, for this reason : New York, with more regimental and brigade officers to pay, aud when we add the pay of the staff of each ot these officers, it swells the expense considerably beyond that of Pennsylvania. Messages have been received from General llalleck, in which he says his army is in excellent spirit nod eager to meflt tho oemy. The Director of the Yorktown Siege. The Yorktown correspondents of the press have announced that Gen M' Clellan ha assigned Brigadier General Fitz Joiin Porter to the direction of the siege of Yorktown. The office is tho most important one to be filled in the ar my on the peninsula, and the choice is the best which could have been made. General Porter 13 a native of New Hampshire, and is thirty-nine years of age. He has resided principally in Ncvr York. Ho was graduated at West Point in 1841; was brevetted second lieutenant of artillery in 1845 ; became first lieuten ant in 1847; was brevetted captain for gallant and meritorious conduct in the battle of Molina del Ray, September 8th; 1847, and brevetted major for gallant con duct in the' battle of Chapultepec, 13th September,- 1847. He was wounded at the capture of the City of Mexico. For a time he was assistant instructor in ar tillery at West Point, and both before and since the war began ha3 been repeatedly assigned to the most difficult and respon sible, if not conspicuous,' service. Many mouths ago the superior drill and disci pline of his division elicited a general or der from M'Clellan, holding his troops' up as exemplars to the rest of the army, aud at Yorktown he has been, from the first, practically iu the exercise of the power with which he i? now officially invested. Breckinridge. Tim infamous traitor is earning only infamy aud curses, among those whom he has assumed to lead in re bellion and instruct in warfare. As Brig adier General, he has accomplished noth ing but confusion and death, where he had promised to lead his men to glory and victory. In a late battle, in which he and his brigade were engaged, one-third of his satellites were killed killed by the indiscreet conduct of their drunken and desperate leader, Breckinridge sacrificed to the ambition and passion whish made a traitor of Jphn C. Breckinridge. It is singular that, while lireckinridge, tho open traitor, is thus hurried to his dis graceful fate, his secret sympathizers in the free States are fast declining iu the same condition. There is not a leader of the Breckinridge faction in the North, who is not secretly engaged in giviug aid aud comfort to the traitor cause. They imagine they render such aid by attack ing Republicans as abolitionists, and as sailiug all who are engaged in the war to suppress the rebellion, as emancipation ists. Of course these men arc understood. While the Breckinridgers of the South have the blood of the rebellion on their hands, the Breckinridgers of the North and free States have it on their souls. "It is Hard to Die Thus I" A cor respondent of the New York Trilmne wri ting from before Yorktown, gives the following touching description of the re cent death of a soldier from Indiana county : "I. have seen Anany forms of human suffering, but I have been seldom moro affected than by what I beheld this morn ing, not six yards from where I write. A private of the 105th Pennsylvania hi3 name Sweitzer, from Indiana was brought in pulseless, dying. He had been ' very imprudent, bathing iu the stream adja cent to his camp only yesterday, on a dull, cold morning, thinking, with his youth and health he might venture anything. "It's hard, Captain," he said, as he lay on his rough bed of hay, to the kind offi cer who, with tear in his eyes, knelt beside him, "to have to die like this, when one came to fight for one's country." And thsn again "Tell mother I died before Yorktown. I should like to have my body sent to her ; I wish, if it couid be done, you would promise me that." I couldu'c bear to see the end of it. Read er ! happily away from such scene?, think of what a life a soldier's is, and let the name move your pity and respect, your love, honor, and gratitude." A Rebel Cuatlain. The Rev. Mose Akin, Chaplain of a rebel regiment, was recently captured and brought to this city where he has been examined atsd held to bail in the auiount of ten thousand dollars, which -he doesn't seem to have a very fair chance of obtaining. This reverend reb el, like the shell of a clam or oyster, is a pretty "hard case." lie was formerly a preacher near Greensburg, in thi3 State, where, about two years ago, he seduced a ycung woman, and was suspended by ht9 chutch. lie seemed deeply penitent, and, after a little time, was restored to tho ministry. Very soon however he seduced another woman, and, despairing of a sec ond restoration, he concluded, instead of going iuto a second lepentaoce, to go ofii and take holy service in the rebel Confed eracy. We understand that two or three very respectable gentlemen are trying to get him off from his imprisonment. One of them, who knows him personally, pleada fo a city functionary in his behalf that "he is as good a man above the waistband as any in the world." But there's no doubt that in Akin there is as much re bellion against the laws above the waist band as below. Louisville Journal. 3" The rebels are improving in man ners. They have courteously given Gtn. Burnside twenty days to vacate the prcm-ise.-i at Ncwbern and other poiuts held by -that doughty chieftain. Gen.
